[Q] Install .ZIP from Recovery on HD2

How is it done? i did a search and only found the question, anyone have the answer?
how can we install .zip on HD2 as you would on recovery on a normal device?

There isn't a way yet. But u could try unzipping the folder and doing it that way.

What is it that you are trying to install

it is a theme and it comes on the HyperDROID ROM so i know it works on the HD2

may i ask you reedit the title [HOWTO] -> [Q]

I think we cannot do it yet with our hd2s...You can only change the theme now by installing framework.apk. but I think getting the framework.apk from that zip directly won't work either...tried that before.

You should see if the theme is metamorph capable!

metamorph?

Its an app that allows you to add themes with out flashing. The themes just have to be compatible

i also want to know how to do this.

I'm trying to figure this out as well. I'm trying to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
I'm hoping it will let me connect to an ad hoc network on mattc's sense 1.7 build.

[Q] Just put 2.3 on my HD2, prefer 2.2?

Hello guys,
Very new to the flashing business, I decided to have a play with "NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.2" Android2.3.2 but I think I prefer 2.2. 2.2 had more of an HTC feel to it, I like the flip clock and the weather animations, live HTC wallpapers too.
Can I bring these features into 2.3?
Many thanks

no can do sir.

Do you know if these's a ROM to support my HD2 (512mb) that'll copy the HTC Desire HD's layout?
Thanks

yea u can flash the latest clockwordmod recovery with 400mb. then download a .zip ROM to ur sd card. reboot into clockwork and install from zip.
theres a few more steps but youd be able to find the answers in the rom thread ur looking to download.

I'm not to familar with the Clockwordmod and how to flash like that. I've only ever flashed using MAGLDR which seems to be very easy so far.
I've seen lots of talk of flashing from the SD card and things but I do like the idea of the OS running of the NAND rather than an SD card.
Thanks again.

flashing thru clockwork is similiar to nand flashing. in fact, it IS flashing to ur nand, the only difference is that u have a backup on ur SD card whenever u need to re-install or reboot instead of using ur computer to re-flash ur rom.
so basically, instead of flashing from computer to nand its flashing from sd to nand.

I believe we will see HTC make Sense available for Gingerbread. There's a few articles floating around about it, just do a search in Google.

Installed Livewallpaper for Legend What about lockscreen?

Hey guys so Ive installed the Live wallpaper hack from XDA i think it was the Rodriquezz rom patch for live wallpapers on the legend..I got it working and everything i was just wondering is there anyway to use it on the lockscreen too? Because when I go to settings to change lockscreen wallpaper i dont see a live wallpaper option as i do with normal wallpaper for the homescreen...
thanks

That's if you have Froyo. Because then, there will be no option to change the lockscreen's wallpaper, and it will use the one you have on your homescreen instead.
It makes sense (hurr not really but sorta pun) to flash a 2.2 ROM instead, because I assume this hack requires you to already have your device rooted.

Well, Im rooted lol I used the tut from paul at modaco, I guess im on froyo? Because i can change the lockscreen wallpaper, i just dont have the option for live wallpaper.

Rooting doesn't automatically give you Froyo. Unless I misread everything you said.
Sorry if I did.

hmm..k lol sorry for my nubness -_- this is the tutorial i used...http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-r4-htc-legend-rooting-guide-now-with-1-31-x/
so what rom am i on right now then? and did you happen to know how to nand unlock and get r/w access?

You're still on the ROM you installed during rooting. It's nothing special, thank goodness it's not Froyo either.
Now you can flash a custom ROM through ROM Manager and enjoy Froyo from there!
EDIT: Oh yeah, installing custom ROMs wipe everything. And there are specific instructions for each ROM too. Look for ROMs and special goodies that you can use with ROM Manager in the Dev section of the Legend's forums.

yea i actually tried Cyanogenmod it was nice but i diddnt like it much, so i rolled back..what else is out there? Im running the stock rom that came with my phone originally now...i have tons of apps and my contacts in it so its gonna be pretty ***tty putting it all back on a new rom

There's cryshop's American mytouch roms for the American t mobile devices, and the one I'm using, Blayo's ROM

download "App Backup & Reinstall" from the market, reinstalls every app you have with a small backup file. Cache and settings are lost though...
And for your contacts, you van backup them to a Vcard (.vcf file) in Contacts > Menu > Import/Export
Titanium Backup is an option aswell since your device has root acces already.

not able to activate Live wallpapers?

i m using HTC wildfire with foryo 2.2 version. i am not able to enable live wallpapers, pl guide me how can i do this. also do i need to root my cell first or not?

It's not supported on official 2.2. So yes, you will have to root and load a Custom ROM which supports it, like WildPuzzle. (And several others)

You have to root your WF and flash a Custom ROM, nearly all of them support Live Wallpaper...
But do not forget, the CPU/GPU of the WF is not very strong, so a live Wallpaper will slow down your phone !

I believe it is not impossible to enable live wallpapers on stock rooted rom. But who works on a stock rom when they can flash a better custom rom.
Little idea: extract livewallpapers.apk from sense custom roms and make it as a system app on rooted stock rom.
Better root and try. Although other HTC phones have it even without rooting. And another thing is you can expect a superfast battery drain if enabled.

I am such an idiot ;-) Untill I've found the time to dedicate myself to a new ROM, I will continue to mess around in the stock one!
I can confirm that you can get livewallpapers working on the stock Froyo ROM, but not with HTC Sense. So if you want it to work on the wildfire stock ROM you:
- have to be rooted
- have to flash the attached zip trough recovery
- have to use an other homescreen launcher then sense.
Note that it only comes with two wallpapers (the only two I like, but you can remove them like any other app). You can install new ones just by going to the market and search for live wallpapers.
If you want the combination Live Wallpapers and HTC Sense, you:
- have to be rooted
- have to flash a custom ROM as suggested above.

EDIT
Almost forgot: the files in the update.zip are extracted from the WildPuzzleROM_2.2.1 v0.8, so all credits go to danne_jo!

[Q] Anyone want to make me a custom ROM?

I have tried searhing and I havent found anything like this, so I hope im not in trouble for asking...
Has anyone made or would like to make a custom sense rom with just a few extra apps?
The main reason I am asking is because you cannot access a file manager by downloading from windows to you sd card (you have no option to either download from Andriod Market or using the sync, which doesnt work for me)
Basically I looking for a ROM that is exactly like HTC Sense but has a file manager and a few other apps by default...
Like the ultra bright torch app and the you tube and Iplayer app.
You can alsways use roms that are already out there, but you usually loose the widgets the come with the stock HTC Sense, plus I miss the facebook streams.
Anyways, the main app it need installed is the superuser app and a good (free) file manager, anyone wish to help or comment?
Also, my phone is rooted with the HBoot 001 version, and I have heard roumours that if you upgrade to 2.2.2 then you can no longer root your phone, and since i am getting into hacking and rooting the widfire, I really dont want to loose the functions!
I hope this will start a healthy thread, as most of my threads dont!
Thanks, Keith

you can sideload apps from windows to your phone using sideloader machine for example

- If you are on HBoot 1.01.0001, you already are on Android 2.2.1 (There is no 2.2.2). While official 2.2.1 was not rootable some months back, after the release of AlphaRev / Revolutionary, it is possible.
- Apps can be installed via ADB also. One such guide is here:
http://voxigee.wordpress.com/2010/02/28/using-adb-to-install-applications/
And a Video Tutorial here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27HIDvjdUFM
- Also, Stock Froyo ROM with Superuser can be found here: (Get the Rooted Version). After you install this, you can install the File Manager using the guides above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
- Lastly, for such a simplistic ROM Creations, you can use the DSIXDA Kitchen to cook a ROM yourself. Its easy, and you can add and remove exactly what you want.
