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 .

Hi
which version of HD2? 512eu or t-mous?
Perhaps the recovery partition you used is uncorrect...

I am using EU hd2. I'm currently using cyanogenmod 7 which works fine

ok, I think you used uncorrect recovery...
You have to download cwr 3.02.4, and modify flash.cfg. I wrote a little guide yesterday, you can find t here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256610
post no. 8, it helped the user, I hope can help you too. This post referred to a tmous hd2, but it's the same thing for eu version. The only difference is the partition... You have to modify it like that:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 195M
cache ya 5M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
Then, if you don't have, you have to do ext partition on sd card...
If I helped you please click thanks button, otherwise please ask me here and I'll try to explain better...

Ok I will give this a try and let you know.
Just a quick question,if I follow your instructions will I still be able to load cm7 back to my hd2or will I have to follow another set of instructions to get back to cm7

yes sure... It's necessary for apps2sdgui...
This is what you have to do:
1. format your sd card (fat32)
2. go to cwr
3. choose ad recovery
4.choose advanced
5.choose partition s. you can choose the size as you prefer, it depends on the capacity of your sd, but it can be max 2gb... swap must be 0.
6. done

this procedure will erase your sd,so make a backup:
in mgldr-ad recovery-advanced-partition sd card-1024 (or 2048)-0
so you'll have 1gb or 2gb sd-ext3 partition with 0 swap size

i have a 2gb sd card, does it matter what partition i use? 1024 or 2048?

then you cannot choose more than 1gb. later i recommend to get at least 8gb sd (if possible sandik class4 or class2)

in my opinion (but not only mine) the best sense rom I 've ever seen... You have to flash it with no doubt...
See official thread, if you read users posts, 95% is completely satisfied, and I'm too... Very very very happy about this rom... Not much bugs, very fast and smooth...

This is such a great Rom, by far the best sense Rom at the moment, runs nice and smooth too...defo worth a try

[Q] Choose Rom Android

hello, I tried to find an android Rom, to make dual boot with windows mobile 6.5, my difficulty is to find, a more recent and functional version possible (perhaps by not understand English very well), just do not even know which one to choose, grateful if I could help me.
edit: I find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401767 before post, this is just one of the reasons why i was in doubt, is very well done, for who knows what the best kernel, or even a Rom, but for me, i decided to install an Android Rom on my HD2, in the last 5 days, is not going well, you know?

Hmm from what I understood u want a good Rom with a good kernel and not sure what to choose right??
If so, there are many, firstly sense or no sense ??

For sense 3.5 there was one updated by boxmax just 2 days ago but I haven't tried it....as for kernels, the Rom u choose would probably have a good one but If u don't like it you can always change
Hope I answred ur question
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Ok thanks, I'll try then now...
edit: great Rom, but i'm having problems installing apps...

What exactly is your problem?
do you have acces to the Market?

Let me transfer the first app, the others says, it will do, open the transfer bar, but does not even begin, it seems that i dont have space, is that the transfer is made to the internal memory? (I have a lot of space in memory card...)
P.S. - sorry, my english...
edit: i try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585420 works fine until now (no problem, install/tranfer apps), but i realy like the other one...

if you don't use any app2sd script , the app will be automatically saved on your internal memory.
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21195341&postcount=207
but be sure, you have a ext partition on your sd card.
you can create it with the normal cwm recovery
Edit: i attached the script

Thanks, i will try this...
Edit: Well I tried this: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824154 ) first, because it seemed simpler, and it worked very well (5*), thanks anyway to everyone, and for everything, by the way, something else, what program i choose to see mp4, with subtitles, without delay, on HD2?

radio is 2.15.50.14. I have got an Europe phone.
I tried the following roms so far:
Pixeldroid ast Edition RC2
mwakiousRUNNINGrom_v.8.3_Poseidon_multi
paranoid and Hyperdroid.
Is it possible that my problem occures because of the aroma installer?
Or maybe because my phone is a vodafone version?

What are your partition sizes?

+1 to checking the partition size, it's the most common reason for a ROM not booting up/hanging at the bootanimation.

I think the problem was with your partitions. When you partitioned your phone with a 220 mb partition, maybe due to bad blocks, a bit less was partitioned. like maybe 210 or 200mb. For desire sense roms the partition size is 220, i think, so you may want to flash a 230 or 240 mb partition.

wingrime's ROM is very popular in other forums and there's a reason for.
everything works! especially camera libs are much better and .35 is rocking on there. and it isn't slow because it has got bad results in Quadrant.

i made a mistake
gps does work on other roms i tried (aokp 4.0.4 asis by ??? (dev swift), swiftdroid 2.0 asis by mur4ik), but bluetooth calls NEVER worked. the other person on phone hears me, but i hear nothing (as i said: music works) this is not a problem of the headset, because it works well on my laptop and other phones.
will give the other roms a try, a little bit sad, the openswift was the best rom i ever tried but i need GPS!
never had a so fast rom and so much space for system and ram
maybe it depends on my swap? never had it till this rom
a question about swap: more = better? have 1gb swap now (highest in recovery i think)
do i have to make a new swap when i change rom?

Swap is like virtual ram it push proceses that you dont use on swap part and frees up the ram
1 gb is more than enough
no you don't

1 GB is wasting SD memory
i an currently using 64 MB because my system usually needs around 20-40 MB Swap
only games like GTA 3 need so much memory, but you won't be albe to play these games smooth.
many people complain about BT headsets, most ROMs have problems. you should try some older releases, some of them have it working
(i think about SDSL 1.1 , maybe it'll work)
http://depositfiles.com/files/kf1ehfxkm (SDSL 1.1)
if it doesn't work try some other ROMs (maybe devswift's oxygen, some froyo ROMs etc. )
good luck
EDIT: for wingrimes openswift ROM:

tip: use titanium backup! it saves all apps with their userdata
to change the swap size just use CWM again. but save your SD-card files first
