Yup, I second that. Great app, and works great across builds. I just migrated from FroyoStone v3.1 to the FroyoHD beta and all my apps, messages etc were transferred.

is the free version enough?? or do i have 2 buy the pro one??

and if so.. how do i make a system copy with it? lool the tool is complicated!

Free version is fine, it's what I use.
http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php <-- 5 seconds on google took me to the wiki which is what I used to learn how to operate the software.

I'd recommend paying the small amount for the full version. With the lite version you have to click "install" and "done" for most apps when you restore. I had over 200 apps on my last restore so that would have taken quite a while!

just copy the current date.img to the new Android .

which android for my htc hd2?

i recently purchased HTC HD2 phone that comes with windows mobile 6.5.
I don't have a problem with it but some friends praised Android. I tried froyo on my sd card but it didn't work very well. it crashed and didn't load properly. Then someone told me that i've to remove windows mobile and install android fresh.
Can anyone suggest if android runs well on htc hd2? will i be able to use camera, phone, wifi, data, gps with android? But primarily it should work like any phone out there, after all its a phone.

Go to the HD2 Android Dev forum. There should be AmeriCanDroid.
That's a good stable build that I'm using.
SD base.

As far as I remember, AmeriCanDroid is for US T-Mobile users. If you use european version then I would suggest trying ROMs by Rafdroid (it's of course only my suggestion, but his ROMs are most stable for me.)

go to android NAND development and search for the stickies. there is a link which show a lot of android builds.
you can choose by yourself what kind of android you prefer (sense builds, stock froyo, gingerbread etc.) just give it a try
I´m personally on typhoons cm7 which runs really great.

but do i have to remove my existing windows mobile on my htc hd2?
will i be able to sync all my contacts, text messages with android?

Android works with google, so you can put the contacts in your gmail and it will sync with android on the telephone. Text messages wont work as far as I know
Just like the other people say, take a look in the android nand section and read the sticky's, they tell you everything you need to know.
I'm on the HyperDroid and works great

read thist thread, it will help you to decide.
ps: mods, this thread should be stick. its very helpfull to noods and more advanced users

Actually, they post US and ex-US builds each time a new build is released. Many ex-US users post there, but far too many US and ex-US ask the same tired questions over and over. Read the FAQ, and enjoy a good build.

id go for this thread HERE, which should help you get started.

Me too. It is stable and has low battery usage.
Development is in progress, the remaining issues should be fixed soon.

I followed the steps provided at thread provided by gizmolisa2006.
After step 3 was done, which was to install MAGLDR 1.13 and it flashed (if thats the correct word) ROM to 2.00.000.0 by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
after that i pressed the power key and it doesn't go into bootloader or the magldr menu doesn't come up. i did what it said in that video as well. but no luck.
now my hd2 is stuck on white background with pink "Stick Together" logo.
Can anyone please help?

Did you flash HSPL first?
cap

my bad, i was suppossed to install 2.08.hspl instead of 3.03.
its working fine now.
I installed gingerbread i guess.

what if hspl is 3.03? by downgrading it to 2.08, will it be reversable?

Nexus HD2 - Gingerbread V2.4 NAND
try it i like it a lot

help... i don't really know what type HTC HD2 i m using.. i m confused by so many types in the market, leoxxxx...t-mobile, htc sense?

i suggest hyperdroidgbx cm7 v1.0.3 runs great super fast and stable as all hell for me...only froze on me once so far and it was while i was streaming videos using flash...
great build

The most important thing is to get proficient at flashing your hd2 so that you can try out a few builds. Once you get hspl and magloader on your phone, I recommend coredroid simply because the instructions for getting clockwork recovery on your phone and installing coredroid are laid out fairly clear in a file with the download. From there you can try flashing other builds if coredroid doesn't suit your needs. I'm currently using hyperdroid and it's great for me.

Thanks, can you recommend which one? I am currently using the twilight rom, and its great!
I want a clean stable one?
No funny stuff, thanks!

Thinking of installing Twilight as well. How do I reflash a WP7 build now? When I run Magldr it says it can't find the phone because of Active Sync. WP7 doesn't use Active sync...

xbox mod standard is really good

Answered my own question - I access MAGLDR by holding down the power button as I start the phone up.
Active sync is only necessary when installing the MAGLDR initially.

[Q] Auto Boot Android

Hi
Newbie here... I've searched for this Q & A but ' haven't found anyone with this exact problem...
I've just bought an used but barely used HTC HD2 with WM6.5 from a friend of mine.
I wanted to have both Android and WM, so i did install RAFDROID HD 4.2 on my sd. Everything went smooth on the installation, but now i wanted that Android as my default OS. Every time i turn on my HD2, it loads automatically WM. Tried to install [APP] RunDroid-dual boot to Android [SD] or WM6, and even when i select Android as default, it will load WM first...
Anyone can help me?
Thanks
António

Why dont you choose Android on Nand, it only boot into Android without any worried

Can you help me, giving me a tip on how i do that? (it is mandatory that i maintain WM intact on the phone memory)

well if you want nand android than your WM will be gone.
but you can always reflash it back to WM later.
if you do not want WM to be gone you should maybe try a different bootloader

Right, you should try a different boot loader
try this: multiboot: http://www.mediafire.com/?nssn9v0ijoy3thv
You can install more than 1 android build on SD card.

[Q] Sim Card + Roms

Hi guys, sorry I'm still new to rooting on android. Im currently running CM7 Build 34 and obviously Im having the problem that CM doesnt read contacts on the SIM card. My question is do all roms have this problem? or is just Cyanogenmod? If other ROMS are compatible with SIM crads, can you please list a few?
Thanks in advance and sorry for being such a newb

You can back up your contacts thru google with your email. Though I remember something about apps on the market that take them from your sim.

Royalginger,ice glacier thats the only roms ive flashed & they been perfect & also reads sim card contacts..

I noticed that not all my contacts moved when I first switched to an android device. My solution was stick the SIM card back into my old phone, copy the contacts to an Excel file, and re-enter the missing ones by hand (and delete dupes). And I always choose Google for new contacts so they all get backed up in the same place.
