Ok I want to do a full Backup of my Herald, so if it crash that i can go into Windows, fire up a program, pressing "restore old ROM" and it is the way i had backuped it.
I know some programs, that are storing backup datas like sms,contacts etc. - but thats not enough for me.
So is there a program that can fulfill my needs?
( and yes, i read a lot in the forum here - but i didn't found anything or i'm just a bit blind )

When you do a backup of your ppc with spb backup, it will backup everything that is on your device (ROM) that is not part of the ROM itself.
It means that all programs installed after a hard reset, all the databases (mails, contacts, notifications,...) all the registry, and all files not being part of the ROM.
So if you do a hard reset and you restore the backup it will be exactly the same as it when you did the backup. And I think that it is what you want.
Caution, if you do an OS up/downgrade, your backup is useless. This backup cannot be either installed on another device.

This is device dependent. With some of them, it is possible, with others it's not, for several reasons. If you don't find tools or someone who managed to do it and provided the way to do so, well you're stuck... I think dumping is not the biggest problem, the real problem is the restore stuff. Sorry, but it is so.

hehe ok ok - i would be a step closer to my goal if i would find a way to unlock the ROM/ break into, so i can change files in there...

What do you mean? If you're talking about doing it 'live', forget about that. But if you're talking about changing the contents of the Rom before doing the upgrade, well the tools are already existing and kitchens too (depending on the device)

It should be an official Rom, am I right? If it is the case, download it on the official site and use NBHExtract to get the dump of the .nbh file and rebuild it. Have a look in hermes forum and in xda-wiki
Cheers,
Fred
Yeah it is official, but the thing is: there are no downloads avaiable yet. and thats the point so i'm a bit stucked here...

On the wiki page, I found this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Herald_Upgrades
hehe been there almost 6 times today - and if you try to download them, they would fail.
And the thing is: my current ROM versions exceeds hell of the versions on that page. so why should i use the old ones ? thats not really what i want to :/

This is a joke..... Right???
Has anyone else found the messaging app to be extremly buggy? I have the stock ATT rom and haven't made any major mods to it. It's constantly freezing, the text input field is always hidden, etc. Is there a fix somewhere? At this point I'm even willing to pay for an app, but I can't find any. SMS chat doesnt work with 6.5.
Please and thanks for any help!

Thanks! If that works, you will be me hero!
will this work for TMO custom ROM?
thanks in advance

I'm inexperienced with custom ROMs, but I think its a 50/50 chance. Give it a shot and if it doesn't work you can simply unistall it. Everything will be like before. That's the beauty of CABs.
no luck
not compatible with system.

did you get the error before installation? if so, my guess is htc put in a check to see what rom ur running so the fix cant install on another device. maybe a good dev here can decompile the cab and remove the check/block.
cannot d/l from htc site....
Just got around to installing this. My messaging app wasn't giving me much trouble prior to now, so i just installed it. It froze right when I opened the first message and backed out. Just tried again and it froze again. Way to go HTC.

Not unless you did a nand backup.
yeah just boot to recovery and do a Nandroid restore of the back up you made. Assuming you did this like every ROM thread warns you to.
yes i did the nandroid backup but if i restore the backup will i still have to rom??
You can start by reading the forums and learn what you're doing before you do it.

really man you should read up on this stuff, go to the DamageControl thread and read about it. do a search and see what other people have said about it. 99% of the roms YOU are going to be dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations.
yeah but how am i suppose to learn about it when i dont know what "dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations" even means. How does that help me??

Because you have your Contacts set as Google and not phone, and you back up your apps with Titanium Backup.
Before you ask how to do either of those things, read the little book that came with your phone. It will tell you how to backup your contacts to Google.
Search the Hero forums for what Titanium backup is, and how to use it.
ok thanks!!

there are very few people who will hold your hand and walk you through these very easy to follow steps. READING about what is included in a rom, which i will tell you is ALWAYS on the first page of said rom's thread will tell you everything about that rom that you need or want to know. There are places to look up all the answers to your questions. here is a good place to start...

aaand...im out. before the tridant falls on my head, again.
Ok I'm a noob Hero owner so I'll attempt an answer.
When you turned on your phone for the very first time, after you got over the shock of how cool and awesome it was, I assume you either signed in with or created a google account.
Now after you flash a new ROM especially one that requires a factory wipe of all data, you will have to do that again. Your contacts and email and calendar will all resync to your phone courtesy of the fine folks at google.
As for the apps. Titanium backup seems to be the way to go no muss no fuss.
Holy crap. I've been on these forums for quite a while. I've had three different phones that I've used these exact forums as a resource for modding, rooting, or what have you with all three of them. I've never needed to post a single thing. I will use this opportunity to make my first post, and say:
lol
not sure weather this has been answered before... i just had to replace my phone... it's completely stock. any way to remove some of the default applications without flashing my device? IE: Guitar Hero game... Blockbuster app... Transformers app... thank you, any help or a direction to look at is greatly appreciated.

He doesnt want them he wants to remove them. And at this point I believe the only way to do it is to flash a custom rom.

I just delete them from my SD and take the file out of the windows/start menu, programs and that seems to do the trick. The blockbuster and barns and noble apps are not really there just the link to go online and download and install, but I am may not be completely be removing the files from the phone
