Also found this on androidadvices[dot]com htc-hd2-steps-to-install-android-2-3-gingerbread-os Would you guys still recommend to install this rom? Would really appreciate it if you'd help me out here!

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":

Can you explain how the first works?
"1. Google does it 4 u automatically..."
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.

Simple, either on android or WinMo....Just use the built in format option or download n use this sd formatter...Use an external sd card reader or connect ur device as mass storage to format.

CM7 Install.....confused

Hi all. I have searched and searched the forum and been reading numerious posts over the last few weeks and have ended up more confused than ever.
I am fed up with the standard froyo on my uk vodafone defy and want something better. I read good things about cm7 and would like to give it a try, however I am not very technical when it comes to such things, I have found various guides all of which differ, the main cm7 thread on here does not seem to lead me to a download link.
Can anyone help?? idiots guide maybe......
what cm7 do I download and where and how to install.
I really have tried to understand some of the posts but will admit to some of it going straight over my head.
regards
Mark

Is your phone rooted already? If so, do you have Clockwork Mod recovery? If not, you have to have that done before flashing a new ROM. If you do a search for the Defy youll find info on how to perform these operations... Cheers

my friend if you cant understand the open discussions here. u can check out youtube. just search it, many good tutorials are available there showing the steps to install cm7.. tutorials by arjoma are really worth and very easy... but suggest you before u try anything on ur fone be equipped with all softwares needed and knowledge.. cuz its little risky .. so prepare and then go ahead .. good luck ..

Hi there! Please watch carefully this video :

As a suggestion, make sure you have your battery over 80% before starting the process and download all these and put them on your SD Card :
Download SuperOneClick to root here: http://goo.gl/xk0AH
Defy Sndinit apk: http://goo.gl/5P89P
Download the ROM itself: http://goo.gl/XyfLE
Download the Google Apps: http://goo.gl/KMFhq
Oh, and don't forget to install all defy drivers on your PC BEFORE! Good luck !

[Q] Installing Kernel

Hello Guys,
I'm a new member here and i wanna know more about rooting and installing ROM on my X8, it is already rooted but i wanna know what on it and how to use my phone to the fullest
So guys can anyone please help me how to install the KERNEL on my phone, i am really confused about that because of the REQ, needed by some of the ROM's.
Please Help

(Assuming you know how to flash)If you want to install a kernel then get kernel manager lite. After that flash it. Once your phone reboots use whatever cpu app you use (I use cpu master) and you can overclock your phone to however much your kernelgoes up to. For installing a rom you must do the same thing but either donwload a rom from rom manager or download a rom on your pc and transfer it to your phone.

It is a simple job.
Here's a kernel with a tut on how to do it! Hope I helped

The advantages of root are the same as on your old device.
You can, there are a lot of tutorials around that show exactly how.
Through a custom recovery
Just disable root. Use search
Your a big boy (I suppose) use search and do some research.

Yes men, before i post this i search a find awsner´s , but in this forum are so many post´s of the same but with different awsner that i put my question here!
I wanna root my nexus 4 and try other ROM´s , but i don´t know if i after install a custom ROM and then flash the Stock again and for example, the Android 4.4 KitKat get´s release if i go check my update will be there for i update, you know what i mean ? can you awnser that for me please ?
But i will have some research, and thank you for your awsner and sorry for anything.

Just root it and play around with all the custom roms. The curiosity will eventually make you do it and if you end up not liking it u can always go back to stock.

Is there any way to change font style without rooting nexus 4? I'm really frustrated with this font style.! Please advise!

No, to install fonts you need to have access to the /system partition which you do not have unless you are rooted.
Rooting a nexus is very easy though.

Yes, you do. But with apps like titanium and carbon, you've got everything backed up. Everything else is synced with google. I don't find it too hard to do full wipes after the second time you do it.
