Hi all! I have recently installed the myhero rom 1.1.3 with the help of this site and video
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfnmhnzb_9c3q6kxhj
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xj1EdpYb7M
Me needing a video i think it says something about me not really understanding what you guys do but i think its great and it makes the Magic alot more fun so kudos to all of you!
So the Android 1.6 SDK came out and i want to put it in my Magic. Im worried because im not sure if it is compatible with the myhero rom because it uses android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3.
It would be great help if someone could answer my question and/or direct me to some instruction to get it on (if even possible). Also if it is possible when i upgrade will i lose all my contacts/ apps? (either its supose to do that or i messed up in the myhero rom because when i upgraded i lost all contacts+ apps )
Thanks ahead!

If you don't know much about making Rom's yourself you should wait for a developer to release a cooked rom with donut (android 1.6)
In the android market you can find "ASTRO File Manager" you can use this to backup several things.
Hi at all,
I am thinking about changing my current Android OS (Android 2.2 Stone Sense), which I use via a Dual Boot from my SD card with the SuperRam Froyo v1 by darkstone. (Hope it will run faster)
Now my question is how do i keep my apps which I purchased from the android market and make sure no apps get lost?
thanks in advance.

the app that you brought will stay with your google account...after installation, just sign in your google acount and the app you brought will just start download if you have internet.
Ah! Ok, that's how it works.
Thanks!
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to submit a post about changing my rom but it keeps saying I can't add outside links although the post does not have any links?
Any ideas?!

Hi Everyone,
OK first of all I am new to all of this but I have a Desire HD...
Basically the phone is very laggy and a friend has told me to look at installing a new rom as that is the way forward...
So here I am, I have had a good luck around the forum but there seems to be so many different guides...
I am probably going to look at installing:
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 4.0, 3.1 Gingerbread & HTC Sense 2.1 Android 2.3.2 - posted my mike1986...now my first question, is this stable and are there any problems with it?
My desire is:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d

Build Number: 1.39.161.1 CL278886 release-keys
Software Number: 1.39.161.1
Browser Version: WebKit 3.1
Now is there any major impact at changing the rom?!
Also is there anyway in which I can backup my text messages (most important) and also the installed apps and restore these once the process has been completed.
Thanks in advance!
Johnathon
Anyone please?!
There are a lot of guides in the Desire HD Android Development forum if you have a look in there.
Not all ROMS require wiping, in which case your data will be kept.
I have installed LeeDrOid and all texts, games savedata etc never were deleted.
When you install a rom, make a backup of everything with titanium backup (if you need to restore, probably best to restore data and not apps).
However, the first thing you do when you flash a new rom is make a nandroid backup with clockworkmod of your phone. This will enable you to restore the pre-flash state.
Check the sticky post by the mod of the forum in the dev section, this will give you everything you need.
Read carefully though, when you start flashing stuff, you may brick your phone if you do it incorrectly.
This should help you.
step 1. Download titanium backup. Back up all apps and data if you wish ( this way you will keep save games and other data )
step 2. Sync your contacts and emails to your gmail account so you can restore them easily once the new rom is flashed.
step 3. You are ready to flash your new rom.
step 4. Once new rom is installed, use your gmail account to sync your contacts etc and then use titanium backup to restore your apps.
Following this lets you wipe everything so you dont have junk left over from your old rom.
hope this helps
Use a stable release instead of a beta release.

Your going to install a beta ...
So no this might not be stable,
and yes there might be problems with it.
I'm not saying your going to have issue's (it's already a Beta4) but it might...
(currently it ain't HD 4.0 β 3.1 but HD 4.0 β 4 ... )
Beter to use a bit more stable release:
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 3.2 | High Quality & Performance | O/C | Sense/no-Sense : link
For your text message you can use a backup app:
sms-Backup-restore
For your already installed app's you can use or a backup app or an automated installer that keeps track of your installed apps.
I use : the site: http://www.appbrain.com the app: link to app
Hi Everyone,
Thank you so much for the advice you have all given me!!
Last night I took the plunge and installed the android revolution...it is just so much better, a lot faster etc. Really pleased.
The only thing I have not done is flashed the radio to the recommended one - the signal seems to be fine etc however would you recommend that I take the plunge or flash this too?...do you flash the flash everytime you flash a new rom?!
In the next few weeks I will now be keen on trying new roms, some which change the actual look of the phone - feeling a little more daring now!
Will I be able to go down a version for example I am now running on 2.3.2, would it be possible to do a wipe and go down to 2.3.1 or even up to 2.3.3?!
I am guessing to do this I just copy over the rom to my sd card. do a nandroid backup, format the rom, install the new rom, reboot and I am good to go?!
Wow I think I am starting to understand all of this now!
Now a really complex question, is it possible to have two rom's installed so for example I could have a stable on that I can use all of the time but then also a beta version so that I could beta test as and when I wanted to but obviously revert back to the stable version if it was too buggy.
A lot in one post I know! Sorry!
Thanks
Johnathon
Read the Guides at Dev thread mate. It should be easy for you.
If you have a stable version you use Rom manager to take a backup before you install a new. If your done playing / testing you restore the backup...
If you use certain backup tools for your sms, apps... you dont have to backup your Rom every time. Just use those tools to restore sms, apps, ...
Enjoy testing your new rom's

Thanks for that! Guess it was kind of an obvious answer really to just take a full backup of the ROM that I am happy with and then restore that if I want to roll back
Only one outstanding thing now is that am I ok to go up and down versions of the os as long as I do a full format first then an install from zip or restore?
Ignore the bit about ping chat and e-mail, they both seem to have been working without any issues today, very strange!
that's true, thx for sharing

1. Strange problem. Are you sure you entered correct username & password? I am using AmericananDroid and never had such a problem.
2. You may transfer contacts from WM to Android, using Spb Migration Tool or any other migration tool. Also you may use MobilEdit or MyPhoneExplorer and copy your Outlook contacts to your phone.
moving now to android general section.

Mentioned issues solved. Now I am on to fB, it says that a newer version is available, but as i go to the market it says your device is not compatible.
Please advise which fB application should i use or which one is the best one for HD2 android.
If you can provide me with link it will be really great.
Dual Boot
Just out of curiosity, why dual boot versus and fresh NAND install of Android?

Its simple, I can not leave WinMo. Its what makes this device wonderful.
Plus there are less complications and more options. Eg : I can install 3 SD Android ROM simultaneously with WinMO keeping all my things safe.
