Really simple question that I couldn't find an answer to. I've been trying several different rom's and slowly learning what I like and dislike. I don't have issues yet but how do I delete the downloaded rom's I know I'll never use again? And how do I clean up my backup files so I don't have a ton of backed-up rom's I don't need?
well to delete/rename backup you got you can download ROM manager and use the Manage ROMs function
you can also do this manually by plugging the phone to your computer and accessing your SD card from there in the folder clockworkmod (if thats the recovery youve got)
you can also do it in your phone using any file manager
to delete the ROMs you have just go to wherever you placed them in your SD card and delete them from there
use ROM manager to deal with them.
If you have unused backups just go into there and click and delete them.
As far as the ROM.zip files, you can delete them off your SDcard after you flash em.

Hi, Sorry to bother everyone.....but i am new to this and i just got this htc hd2 phone and i been TRYING to read up on stuff but not really understanding much....*i know most of yall are prob laughing right now* but i was just wondering how do you dl apps from the comp and put it into your phone? do you just put it in the sd card under a certain folder? or do i dl it from my phone? Thanks for everyones time!
Hello friend, I understand what it's like coming into a tech heavy phone like the HD2 and then trying to comprehend stuff on this site. It get easier over time, just keep reading.
Anyway in answer to your question downloading apps is easy. For your computer you just have to find the apps you want, whether it be here or other sites. Select the app you want and download it. The majority of winmo apps are .cab files. If you download a .zip then extract the .cab from inside it.
Copy the .cab file to your sdcard or phone memory whichever you prefer, then using file explorer just navigate to the app, select it and install. Most apps ask if you want to install to phone memory or sdcard, whichever you prefer. All done!
For downloading on your phone it's the same concept, find the app, download it to your sdcard or internal memory and then use file explorer to install.
Good luck
thanks alot chris! I will defiantly try this out........one more quick question if you dont mind....is that when i put the .cab file onto my sd card or phone does it need to be in a certain folder?........thanks again!
just place it anywhere on your sd card mate and navigate to it using file explorer, i have a folder on my sd card called general crap, and anything i want to install goes in there so i no where i left it
Hey there,
I got my HD2 with Energy's LEO Lite Rom from here, and loaded Android up.
Darkstone FroyoV1.
It's running smooth, and I'm experimenting, to get used to Android. So I wanted to transfer my sms from WM to Android.
I used this tutorial/app/guide.
So I got my sms.xml file, put it in the root of my SDcard, in a folder SMSBackup&Restore.
But I can't seem to locate the file when I use Astro.
How does Android work, since we are using a port ON the sdcard. What part of the sd does android recognize as "sdcard" and what as internal?
Thanks for helping. Kudos to the people that made the development go so quickly for HD2.

I had a simillar issue.. I put .apk files on my sdcard while using Android USB mass storage, Couldnt find it in there...
I rebooted Android and voillaa, there they were...
Hope this helps
Thanks man, restarting solved the problem of not seeing files I put on it.
But for file management, I can just put everything in the root of sdcard? and order it in my own manner? like notes, music, personal files etc.?

Yes you can put anything on the root, the filemanager will see it..
I don't have internet on my phone so the only way to install apps is to download them from my computer and transfer it to my phone.
Does it matter if you delete these .apk files from a SD after using them?

No, after you install the apks, you can delete them if you wish.
thanks or all informations
its better to keep the file backup in your computer incase you need to install again you dont need to download again.
hi
when i be on android and put a file on sd i can't see it on file manager
i use ics
thanks
go to the android market and try out "ES File Explorer" ... it is the best in my opinion. not sure if this will really help, however, it could not hurt!
thanks
but the program already on my device and i try it but the same problem on file manager
have you formatted your sd since flashing the ICS rom? try formatting a full fat32 (and ext partition as needed). i read up a little and sometimes old info and files from a previous version of android can cause problems.
Why do you need to see it anyway? SD Android is dual booted with NAND Android only through MAGLDR, so there isn't any point in being able to see it cos you can't launch it from the file manager.
I am also facing similar issue. To make the files visible, I have to reboot the phone. I also use bluetooth option to transfer files to avoid this problem
please the problem steel on my device
Ok so ive finally upgraded my s4 to a s5 unlocked bootloader, rooted and resurrection rom. I understand the whole adaptable media and encryption. I want my sd card as portable so i can use it in my pc and other phones if needed. Also to use titanium backup to restore apps if i wipe and install a fresh rom.
My problem is es file explorer, root explorer, and any archiving apps are all jacked up and wont write as they used to. I am able to write to the sd card but i want to have full control like i used to on older roms on my s4.
Any help?

I'm using Ressurection too. Marshmallow can be a pain with the sdcard. Apps have to ask for write permission when it first needs it and you have make sure to grant it.
Titanium Backup works with the external sdcard but you have to go to "Preferences", then to "Backup Folder Location", click where it says "Storage provider:", select " Document provider storage", go to the external sdcard (not a directory in it) and press "select", and then go to the TB backup directory and select "Use the current folder".
If you're using a multi partitioned sdcard, Link2SD doesn't work but Apps2SD appears to work fine. Either way, you'll probably get a notification about a corrupted sdcard for each extra partition. You can safely ignore them. Long press on the notification and select the crossed bell icon to prevent it from popping up again.
Some apps have trouble if they are opened from another app. Rar wouldn't work for me in ES File Explorer until I opened it from the app drawer. Then the correct permission dialog popped up and it was fine ever since.
I would also strongly suggest setting selinux mode to permissive. I suggest using SELinuxModeChanger.
Thanks. I changed the selinux mode but es is still wonky when working with zips. I also tried zarchiver opened directly and it has problems too. Oh well.
I did get tibu working previously as you stated.
I hate when enhancements are downgrades!!
Thank you for the information.
