well, in general these things have been answered already and can be found with a little search, making this thread redundant

lol....busy life as a moderator??
on topic:
Just look for clean ROMs in the Xperia ROM subforum, in the thread the OP mostly gives a description of what he used for the ROM etc.
For backing up your contacts look for PIM Backup, Microsoft MyPhone and don't know if SPB Backup does the trick but it also widely used around here.

lol, at times yes, but Monday morning it's all work related
all original SE roms (stock, like r3a) are wm6.1 and will always be wm6.1 as no official wm6.5 is planned for X1
so wm6.5 only through custom roms, some of them are very closely related to original ones, check thread titles and descriptions in rom dev sub for details
flashing is described often enough, check biovolt/phenx for tutorials, olinex for h-spl and jackleung for sd method (all in stickies) and generally read a lot
search for answers on upcoming questions pls in existing, subject related threads and if you can't find anything post there, as most of everything has been asked and answered somewhere already
you should know, you are around more than half a year

Custom ROM/Builds List

Guys,
Looking through this thread, it is becoming increasingly hard to find the latest builds from our favorite chefs; JesusFreke/Haykuro/TheDude.
Could I put forward a suggestion that we create some Sub-Forums, moderated by said chefs, for there builds/news/related questions. This might make it easier to find the info we need.
Just a quick suggestion, wondered what we all thought.
Asked that from the admin and the simple answer is no =(
if you'd like you can create a thread, if you are willing to keep it updated, list all the cookers and their rom versions.
So to your question sub-forums will not be created, sorry.

Well no to sub-forums but why can't moderator like yourself make the Threads of new roms into sticky threads so they're always on top.

I posted a link to a list but a Mod deleted it. Not sure if it was because of general housekeeping or if it was because the list was on a google dev site.

Ill do it then...
Firstly this is the NAND development forum, ie for posting NAND developments, secondly if you want to ask a support question about a specific ROM then you do so by first reading the specific roms thread and if it isnt answered you then ask in THERE!
DO NOT CREATE A NEW TOPIC, ESPECIALLY HERE!

HTC Widgets on Android ROMS

Just wondering if there was somewhere to get the HTC mail and contact widgets anywhere. I think theyre the best format for the HD2 but they arent included in alot of Android ROM builds. Is there a way to add them after the ROM is installed? Ive checked the market and theres nothing there.
search for a htc sense build in cwm format and take the file you want from /system/app
but i believe it will not run on a non-sense build.
This is an excellent example of a 'developer' thread post. OP please read this. Then read the rules. Then follow them.

??
This should be in Q&A, not Development. It's a question
The answer to the question is no. It isn't yet possibe for Sense apps and widgets to stand alone outside of Sense.
My earlier post was meant in something of an ironic manner.

That's not ironic. He hadn't done anything that warranted that response.

Update android NAND rom without losing data?

Hey,
Was wondering if it was possible to upgrade a NAND rom without loosing all my apps, contacts, images etc. Reason being that I have a very early build which has some missing features such as GPS and I really need them. I have been using this build for a while now an have added new contacts, installed apps and have a lot of data on it generally. Is there any way that I can update to a new build whilst keeping my data?
Thanks in advance

It amazes me that there are people in these forums who are smart enough to to install android rom on there phone, but they still can't figure out where to post a question. There is a forum for questions and there is a forum android development, and yet they still pick the development forum for questions. Why is this concept so hard to understand. Haven't you noticed that there isn't any other questions being asked in this forum except yours?

Its because they know more people view the nand development forum than the Q&A forum so they have more chance of getting an answer to their question.
I noticed a while ago a mod from another xda forum posting a question in the nand dev forum for that very same reason.
Simple solution, don't answer people who start question threads in dev forums until they are moved to the proper place.
Regards.
Titanium Backup
The name is Titanium Backup

So you don't want people to answer your question in the nand dev forums until it is moved to Q&A forums. Then why didn't you just post in the Q & A forum in the first place. You saw another person posting in the nand dev forum, so now you feel like you should do the same. So now other people will see your question and then will post there own questions in the nand dev forum and the trend will continue.The last thing everyone wants is the nand dev forums flooded with questions. By the way, a quick search in the forums, you could have found an answer to your original question.

If you bothered to read my reply i was agreeing with the person i quoted "YOU" and was only stating the reason some people are posting questions in the Dev forum. Example,,,, the mod who had posted a question in the Nand Dev forum for that very reason.
I was also saying people should not answer questions put in the dev forums until it has been moved to the proper place. They will then have to wait until it has been moved which could be hours if the mods are not about or busy. Getting a quick reply in the dev forum only encourages others to do the same.
If you can find any question i have started in a Dev form you can have my HD2 for free.
Idiot.
I seem to have started a row. I appoligise for starting this thread where I did. I hope you two can still be friends! Thanks for the help will use the clockwork mod as soon as I can!

You can't use CWM unless the ROM is CMW friendly.
You need Titanium Backup - free in the market. (The paid version is WELL worth it though!)

When I click that link I get the following. Has the thread been deleted or am I not permitted access because of my post count? It says you cannot post with less than 10 posts, but it doesn't say you cannot view. Am I doing something wrong?
knickfan5745, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

If you're going to say, "thread closed. please post in the existing firmware thread", please be a bit more helpful and give a link to the existing firmware thread you're referring to.
eom
Hmm...what?
Edit: You are right. I don't see any existing lg6 thread.
Do you mean the existing firmware thread that all firmware posts are supposed to be put in .
The one called Stock Official Firmwares even the Guides and Roms official firmware makes it only a choice of two .
Message to mods should go via report thread if you want them to read it .
jje
i didn't even bother to request the mod to not close that one because that happened to blfb thread when it was new then they reopened it since the official firmware thread is getting cluttered thus i thought they would do the same for this one.
since that didn't happen, i'd like to request to re-open that thread and rename it to XXBLG6 new features so as to save the other main thread from clutters and this one will be specific only to new xxblg6 ; it will be easier to search what's new.
tia.
Damn was just about to post in there too

Single thread, choice of two - it's all too confusing for simple me and my simple buddies ....
All I'm saying is what I said - it would have been *more* helpful to have put a link to the thread chrisd1a1 (which ever of the two you're on about, I dunno, I'm even more confused) in the "closing" post. Simples, no?
Re. second part, I'd rather open the issue up for discussion than keep it backroom, ta very muchly.
Closed, if you have a problem with a mod, feel free to PM them.
Also, take a look at the rules
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

There is two stock firmware thread, stickied in this subsection, just open them and read, one is more of a guide as well, the other just a list of download links, but you would know this if you had clicked on them.
Also there is a sticky that should help guide you to which forum subsection you need to be in to find stuff.
Also.. as mods we have multiple forums to look after, do you really want us, as well as moving misplaced threads around, keeping the peace, and everything else we do, to do your research for you? I think not.
If you have a problem with this post, or anything else, feel free to PM me.
