You have plenty of options. If you are already on Android then you simply use your gmail account and it will sync your contacts/calender etc.
If youa re on windows I think you can do same thing or use sim as suggested or you can also use a program like SPB’s migration tool.

please help

You didnt ask a question about flash.
The HD2 is a excellent phone and I love it. I love trying new roms/software and cant really see myself buying a new phone for a long while.

When u say market, i believe u mean on android...Well there r several ways u can have ur apps backed up..
1. Google does it 4 u automatically...
2. Using softwares like "MyBackup Root/Pro" or "TitaniumBackup"...etc
3. If u've got CWM installed (my favorite)...use it 2 do a full n free backup.
Or are u talking abt d exact location on ur device where the "market" stores downloaded apks?...i'm not sure @ d moment but will browse my fone ltr n see if i can find it.

would someone be so kind and tell me if it's possible to take calls in "imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0"? And what does it mean with "sense" & "sense-free"? Would really appreciate your answers!

I'm not familiar with "imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0's ROM, posting a link to the thread should help us answer ur question better...
"Sense/Sense-free" tags simply tells if the particular build has HTC Sense screen layout & widgets bundled in or not.

With the WinMo installed on HD2 I used Active Sync to sync my contacts with Outlook.
Now using an Android-SD-Build i use the HTC-Software "HTC Sync":

Simply after a fresh install of android: i can go to the market and click on "my apps" and reinstall all my apps?

Well when u first install & run android on ur device, while setting up ur accounts...especially ur gmail acct...well, it asks u if u want ur settings n data backed up to google...accepting it means some of ur phone settings (like remembered wireless networks....etc) and links to apps u've downloaded & installed thru the stock android market all get saved & uploaded 2 google's servers...So d next time u flash say another/d same ROM n while setting up accounts...and u set up d same google acct, ur phone ltr automatically performs a sync (wit internet connection ofcuz)...And things like ur contacts, settings, favorites, and previously installed apps all "magically" (as steve jobs would say) appear in ur programs list...
Summary....wit d option on..wheneva u install an app 4rom d market, android simply remembers the app link, saves it & connects it wit ur email..then when next u flash, it simply re-connects 2 those apps, downloads em and installs...all r done automatically (while sync is on)...Sync takes awhile so u'll have 2 let ur fone settle.

Yes I red what you posted and I went through all the threads. But the only advice is to try new kernel or ROM. I am not an IT i am a normal business man so I dont have time to "play" with my phone for the whole day.
That is Why I was asking for some fix. I used WM 6,5 and I was used to do things like this with hotfix-es

Hi,
I,'m glad that you took the time to read the posts I suggested,and I hope you learned a little bit more about your HD2.
The reason I pointed you in that direction,was to show you that there was no solution to your problem,other than to try a new kernel or ROM.
I am not in IT,and if there was an hotfix,you would have been directed to it.
It does not take a great deal of time to install a new ROM.Just make sure you BACKUP your information before you start(use CWM backup and restore).
Otherwise, you are stuck with your wakeup lag.

My earlier post was meant to be a joke between i & malybru, so pls don't tk it personal...I understand wat it means not to have adequate time to "play" with our phone especially when its a primary device to keep in touch with a business...Nevertheless, d only way 2 solve most issues is 2 get create time and play with different builds/kernels to find dat sweet mix for u...So just as malybru says, mk sure u have a cwm backup before doing anything cuz i've used C.D's 1.6 and it was quite stable for me...

Omnia 7 mi7ROM, what is it for?

Hey guys,
I just saw this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499102
I read through a few posts but the point of this rom isn't very clear to me.
Does it add anything more than developer unlocking to your phone (does it even add that?) And should I unlock my phone with cheveron first or is that not necessary?
Also, my current (stock) rom doesn't have a 2G/3G switch. Any ideas if this rom has it?
Thanks!

The ROM is a "full unlock". This surpasses developer, Chevron and Interop. It allows apps to run on your phone with heightened privileges. Opera browser for example. It includes Registry editors, homebrew apps, Nokia sounds etc.
It isn't necessary to do anything before flashing, just follow the instructions properly! Yes, it includes a choice of your highest connection speed: 3G or 2G.
It's just a better experience all round!

That sounds good. Any idea how it affects battery life?
I'll give it a try tomorrow.
Hopefully there's a wat to keep currently installed apps en text messages. Any idea about that?

Hey mirolog,
the reason I had to open a new thread is because I don't have 10 posts yet so I couldn't reply to yours. Thank you for your reply!

Hehehe! Bet you feel bad now miro
Regarding battery life: it hasn't got worse, if anything mine is better!
Love this phone more and more every day because of this ROM.
Definitely worth flashing it.

does somebody knows a good video to install android on the htc hd2 with htc sense ?

You should search in the Hd2 section btw...........but this thread is a good start

.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Although it isn't a video tutorial, this guide couldn't be clearer.

Well then there really is no need for a video guide because it couldn't be simpler. You should also make yourself clearer in the OP, saves everyone time.
1. Update to the latest stock ROM 3.14 with radio 2.15.50
2. Download a ROM from the SD section
3. Place the folder labelled Android (it may have a different name, but it is essentially the folder in which the files are directly stored) on the root of your SD card
4. In WinMo go to the file explorer, open the file explorer and run CLRCAD then HARET.
5. After first boot, reboot a few times then enjoy Android

thank you Nigeldg

Here's is a few video's about the question you have along with a useful video about XDA.
1. Useful video on being new to XDA
2. Several video's about installing Android onto the HD2 can be found here and here (if you want a sense ROM download a sense
ROM instead of the one in the video) the steps however will be the same for either
3. re-read each step several times over and try to get an understanding of whats going on
BEFORE you begin to flash the ROM over
4. if you are stuck and can't figure it out use the search button to try and find answers, still stuck
open a thread up and ask for help
5. I'd also like to add that if your really desperate there are tutorials you can buy on ebay ($2-$10 normally) and a person on
facebook found here that will do it for you for an enormous charge. I think its under LARIS in the middle of the page
Hopefully this will get you going and you can use the video's along with the guides other member's have provided already. I
forgot to add that there is a really great site that has a great video on installing Android along with some other useful video's
like reverting back to stock and how to load a custom ROM with easy step by step instructions. Here's the link to that.

when you ask a question, it helps if you specify the rom you're using, what you're trying to update or do. just posting an error msg is no help.
more details the better...
agreed...stop posting a new thread for every issue...keep some sense of problem history.

glad you took my original advice from days ago and use a rom that is simpler to install. and actually, you'll have to reflash once hd2o updates his rom with the official tango.

It is what it is. I made a backup so it really should be that big of a problem. the marketplace is the main reason I finally gave up. It should be simple to install a new rom now that I have the hang of it.

there reall no way to backup/restore a wp7 installation. when you flash the next version from the dev you'll have to set up everything again.
marketplace issue? marketplace works fine on yuki..all the roms. anyway, enjoy your wp7.

thanks for all your help. quick question though, is there a way to change my green call button back to the regular call button instead of the camera?

try installing the app immediately after flashing the rom and and the hard reset. hope you hard reset after flashing the rom...you should always hard reset after the initial flash.
