How to upgrade without losing apps and stuff??? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi everyone,
Due to the success I had loading the Android nand on my HD2, its been a while since I've been here. I wanted to upgrade my phone to the latest Android software. Can you guys help with that? I am running a nand rom from Dark Forces Team. Is there anyway to upgrade without losing my apps and/or other things....I guess?
Thank you in advance!

Apps via titanium backup
Contacts via contacts2sim
Sms via sms backup all
SwiftKeyed from my HTC HD2 via XDA PREMIUM APP

Oh cool. Where do I get that? Also, how do I upgrade? I guess I should've mentioned that before.

Download all these Apps and install them.
Backup the things you want to backup (will be saved to sd)
Flash new rom.
Install Apps again and restore the data

Sorry, I must be blind. Is there a link or something I should click on? I skimmed through the forum; not sure where the apps are nor the Rom I should use to upgrade.

You go to android nand section on xda and choose rom you want and download these Apps through market.
Sry that's what you asked for and that's it.

Depends on what you want
There is the sense 3.0 rom by langthang or Miui by that dev.
Sense 3.0 has a tnous version so you can try this

So 3.0 is the latest software? I thought it was 2.3. Yeah, I've been gone too long.

2.3.4 is latest.
I meant sense 3.0

How to move the already installed apps from phone to SD card ?

Can anyone tell me in details ?
Thank you !
Depends on what ROM your running.

It's running CM 6.0.0-DS
The easiest way is to buy the donate version of titanium backup. It has a batch process to move all user installed apps to SD card, and back if you want. Have to be rooted I'm pretty sure. Otherwise go to settings, applications, manage applications, and you can move them one by one.

My suggestion is to go to settings, applications, manage applications and you can select some that are not used very frequently so that will not have an impact on the performance of your phone.
CM6 is an awesome ROM!
Yup CM6 have that good feature in option.change app install into SD. Have not try it myself. Ran into it accidentally. Kekeke

One thing to remember is that not all apps can be movedro the SD card.

[Q] please help!!

Hi all so I got an activation code from Ms and activated my device. It worked fine for the first 3weeks then xbox live started saying your live id is not working ... and marketplace says cant get info now check back in a while, and now IM stuck with no downloading and no xbox live: ( pls help, and I have a question if I install a new ROM will the activation code work more than 3 times on same account? And btw I'm using football ROM with no nodo update, THX in advance
EDIT: ONE more question guys, can I do some sort of backup for my current ROM?
You can use the same activation on the same phone no matter how many rom update you do. I'm on my 5th and it's fine still. I believe the limit is how many WP7 devices it can be used on simulataneosly which is 3.
As for the Live thing. This did happen to me but seemed to just sort it self out eventually. But if you are planning on changing your Rom anyway just do that.
Roms installed through Zune will auto-reinstall on new rom. Other will have to be done manually.
THX for your reply

nope, you cant, at the moment you can manually backup data from your apps, for example, i have a program that tracks my MPG of my car, i can backup that data, somebody is working on a way of making that easier. But as for backing up everything, nope there isnt anything you can do.

You can back up a WP7, but do not know about the HD2-WP7 roms, but there is a thread on the real wp7 back-up here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103011
May be of some use????

New ota update has anyone flashed?

Has anyone actually flashed the new ota that has come out on a stock non rooted device. I've seen that its floating around although I haven't seen any conformation that people have successfully flashed it and that it works.

Would like to know if it can be applied to a rooted iconia or if I should unroot first.

It's an incremental, not a full ROM. It should work fine rooted, but if you've altered, frozen, renamed or deleted ANY original files, it will fail.
See I haven't rooted at all and have the version 1.141.07 so it should be okay to update right? The worst thatll happen is it fails to install and I just go back to what I had before correct?
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
That is correct.
So just to confirm I wont lose my current data?

Not if you flash the FOTA when your tablet notifies you, no.
Ah I know that, I'm talking about flashing the one posted on the forums

It's a full ROM. When flashing a full ROM, it's always best to wipe data first. You can try without doing that; it might be fine, it might not.
Worst that can happen is you'd have to go back into recovery and wipe.
Do a backup first, a nandroid one in case you want to rollback, and a Titanium one for your apps and data for easy reinstallation.
Hmm, I thought the one on the forum was an incremental to 3.1?

Hi All
I've also got the system prompt to update to 1.141.07 (39.71MB). I have not rooted and have three numpty questions-
1.This I understand is not the Honeycomb 3.1 update?
2.Also I'm in the UK and got my Iconia in the USA- that does not have any effect on updating does it? I mean setting wise?- (dumb but I'm being very cautious!)
3.The Wifi issue people are having with this update is related to ROOTED tablets?
Cheers all
I was rooted and I flash the full from everything is working fine right now!

Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

Do not run via SD.
Install NAND.
If you want WM, then install it back...
The risk is that you'll brick your phone...
Read the post for the Android version you would install. Everything is explained in the posts.
If you have any questions use the "Search" button here in the forum, or Google it..
If you have any questions you must search the forum at least 8 times, and google your question at least 6 times.
These are the unwritten rules....
Good luck

[Q] Titanium backup and ICS ROMS

Didn't see this question asked in My Touch forum so here goes.
I backed up all my apps with TB and flashed from Energy Rom to Blackwings ICSandwhich. Full wipes and the whole 9. When on BW's ROM I can't get TB to restore apps. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Don't install backups from GB to ICS or vice versa.
It causes problem.

You can restore apps, just not data. Except for ics only apps, don't restore those on a ginger bread rom.

Well, ok, yes. Sorry. I use titanium to restore my data. If I want an app by itself I get it from the market to ensure the latest version. Silly me.
