Hey guys, Planning to apply Rainbowmod after I downgrade from DLOAD to qualcom. I have a couple of questions before I do that !!
1. After downgrading from DLOAD to Qcom will all my data get formatted or data such as contacts, msgs and pics would still be there. If not how do I back up that data and using which program.
2. After Applying the Rainbow mod will I be able to re-download OEM apps like Nokia drive as It's missing in the rainbowmod according to the log. I find it along with Nokia maps extremely helpful.
3. Instead of doing all that should I wait for the next OS update as suggested somewhere on the forums.
Thanks in advance

Hello Guys,
I'm pretty new to all the Custom Rom things around here...
Yesterday I've installed the new MoDaCo 3.0 version for my hero, i had 2.3 or what so ever. I installed the rom, and then formatted my sd-card up to EXT4 via the adb tool. I'm sorry i can't remember if i first formatted or i first put on the new rom.
The thing is: in the List it says that Apps2SD is fully included in the update. I was not able to find the changes.... i tried it my self afterwards by installing the 2 files with a terminal, but the app2sd says its not working i should read the tutorial.(which i have) although it says 100mb space free now... and before the update all my progs filled up to 30mb.
So Q1: how do i install this version right?
and Q2: i still don't get any animations for my htc Clock (with the flipping pages) and i couldn't find any preferences. how do i get it to work? (and is there a prog where i can choose all my preferences, i get the feel i can't change all the things in the HTC-Preferences Dialog.
I Hope someone understands my problems ;-)
can you please state the exact error message from apps2sd?
it should work automatically on mcr. try to partition your sdcard again (btw i'd suggest ext2), then wipe and reflash mcr. that's it, the rest is taken care of. if you still think you have problems please search for it, there are numerous threads where i explained in details how you can check whether it is working or not.
as for q2: can also be covered by a search. in short: no animations any more.
thanks for the input, search actually did help me out for the clock problem ;-) (no possible on modaco hehe)
and I'll try the formatting and re-rom again, hopefully it works.
thx!
great place here
Hi
I have the new Android update ready to install to my HTC Hero which will wipe my phone clean. I need to back up such things as bookmarks, call history, my favourite contacts, my current scene and other bits and pieces.
Please can someone advise me of the best app for this/method of doing this.
Thanks.
Titanium backup for apps, my backup pro for the rest.
I don't know, what update you have in mind, are you sure it will wipe everything ? For example official 2.1 doesnt wipe anything
Ps. BTW, I think this should be in q&a not dev
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Moved to Q&A as not development
Yes - have system update notification for what I believe is Android 2.1. Official Three Network phone HTC Hero. Will the phone be wiped clean or will all my information, apps, bookmarks and everything remain? Also, can this be done through wireless?
If its the official update - it doesn't wipe anything.
Do you know how I can manually check for the Android update. I received an automatic messages yesterday when I switched my phone and Internet on but cancelled it as I wanted to check everything was backed up. How, I don't get the automatic message.
HTC Hero.
Thanks.
Change date forward a year
That work! Before update takes place though, won't putting the phone forward a year make the installation of the update a year in advance and not show it as present day?

No idea what you mean. But it worked, so don't complain
The 1 yr forwards is a known workaround
Before I do the update, one more question. The notification came up saying that the update was something like 72MB in size. If I have 91MB available memory, won't my phne be rather full now in memory or will it override the existing operating system and still eave me with 91MB. Being completely new to system update, I just want to make sure before I continue.
Thanks.
You're talking about a completely different memory cache.
Thanks for all your help I have now updated my phone to Android 2.1 Just a quick question. What are the differences between 1.5 and 2.1 apart from the appearance?

Hello Guys..
Recently got hold of a pre-rooted atrix from a relative who upgraded his phone.
Due to less time on hand, i just couldnt get all the details about it, and now i am in a fix..
Info:
Its an ATnT Atrix 4g.
System Ver: 4.5.91 / Android: 2.3.4
Current ROM: Alien #2
Its already rooted and bootloader is unlocked as well. CWM Recovery is installed too (i asked these parts specifically)
I have an external SD card as well.
The phone already had few contacts saved with one google account. I created mine and saved few of my own.
I avoided saving contacts which were common with my relative.
Questions:
1) How do i merge contacts from both the accounts, and then delete one a/c?
2) Which is the best s/w or app to backup all the contacts and sms ?
3) How to find out which CWM has been installed ?
4) No idea about fastboot thing being installed or not.. how do i find out ?
What's its exact need/function ?
I apologize in advance for asking so many questions.. i did tried to search beforehand.
And i did tried google as well, but wherever i tried reading, they seemed to be a level ahead of me and i was left all confused. I been busy and out of station a lot offlate as well.. hence posting and asking here as my relative advised me. Just need to get it configured asap and try it out properly.
Hey all!
Today earlier I was reading some topic when looking for a fix to the /system low space problem, and then someone said to use this program and/or this program.
I have a few questions about this, since I'm sort of noob in these details.
1) Is this the only thing I can do to get throught this /system problem? (removing unwanted APKs, etc)
2) Do I have to use both of the programs above or they do the same thing?
3) Is there any list of safe-removal APKs for Jelly Bean? I found lists about it, but for other phone models.
4) I'm watching this thread very close. I already use Rashed's CM10 and he is promising an update to the next 48 hours. When this new build comes, am I going to remove all those APKs and that blablabla to reduce the ROM size again?
Thanks in advance!
1. Yes its the only thing you can do (freeing up space in system partition)
2. Use one program which can move apps from system to data partition
3. Phone model doesn't matter, all phones have almost same core applications
4. Yes before flashing try to reduce size of your ROM, if not already done by Rashed
Hi All,
I've screwed my one day old LG. I have the Australian Telstra version - LG-P655K.
Rooted fine but got trigger happy deleting some of the system apps. Basically I must of deleted some sort of downloading app as the Play Store no longer works plus I can't download any files through Chrome.
Furthermore when accessing Play Store through Chrome, it doesn't recognise my device even though I'm logged in. Guessing some sort of backup between this new device and my Google account has screwed up as well.
I've searched all over Google looking for the stock firmware in an attempt to flash it and get it back to normal. However no luck in finding it.
Anyway, I'm basically on the verge of simply buying a new phone. Can anyone help with locating the stock firmware for this phone? And maybe a stretch, but basic instructions as to how to flash it?
More than happy to make a donation to anyone that can help (if that's what people do on here, sure I've read that on other posts)
Thanks in advance.
I may be telling you what you already know but try to factory reset your phone. if that doesn't work you should find a recovery mod and firmware for your device, transfer them onto your SD card from a PC via USB and follow the steps to flash the original firmware.

Sorry, but this is bad advice as the OP obviously deleted something in /system, which a factory data reset will do nothing to help. It might even make it worse since many LGs are very sensitive about trying to run with missing bits of the /system and will throw a Security Error after resetting (possibly) or trying to update via OTA (for sure). They also already stated that they have not had luck locating the stock firmware, hence the reason for their post. I understand your willingness to help, which is great, but bad advice in these kind of situations might be worse than no advice.
Unfortunately, in a quick search, I was only able to find the specific firmware version for your phone off a Chinese site that you'll probably need Google Translate for (unless you or someone you know is fluent) and to sign up for an account there to get the link:
http://poweredw.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=662939
I am not familiar with the site, so can not make any promises to whether it'll work or what other steps would need to be taken.
Another thing that I would try, would be to download a rom (have only found them for some US carriers) and unzip the rom and look in /system/app and compare with what's left in yours to see if anything important looks like it is missing.

Do not attempt to use that rom for your phone, it is only for comparitive purposes.
Done this before...
If google play isn't working, more than likely you've deleted Application Manager. I was debloating my Optimus F3 and uninstalled Application Manager, and lost GP with an error every time I would try to download an app. You could probably save yourself a factory reset if you could download the Application Manager as an apk via PC and move it to your phone and re-install.
Then again, if you didn't uninstall Application Manager, I wouldn't know what else has been removed.
How did you perform the root on the telstra LG p655k
Wouldn't mind knowing how you performed the root access on your phone
Thanks
