Pim Backup does this! I use it all the time!

[Q] [REQ] Edit SetupWizard.apk to have gmail log in?

I'm not sure if this is in the right forum or not, if not please move and I apologize.
Anyway I was wondering if there was a way to edit the setup wizard to already have my gmail login information? Sort of like modifying build.prop to have 140 dpi before flashing....Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Try in Q&A. This is for development. You won't get flamed there.
i must say thank you for doing this right, your the first person i have seen in a long while saying "if in wrong forum please move & i apologize". That right there sir is appreciated. Like above i would post in Q&A your more likely to get an answer there to.
thanks a lot. Sorry for the wrong forum post.

[Q] SMS info please

I need to find where the SMS texts are kept in the phone so that I can pull them off the phone for a court case. The only reason I need to get them from the phone and not just forward is because I need the timestamp as well. Thanks to anyoe who can give me the info I'm looking for....
my mistake
looking for where to delete this thread. just saw the QNA thread
sounds serious. if your method doesnt work, install gosms, do a backup and you can pull it from the sd card easily.
THANKS!!!!
Thats exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for your help.
Moderators, again, my mistake. Didnt see the Q&A tll after i created. Feel free to delete as I couldnt delete myself.
np. its always useful to backup everything.
grr
lol says backup failed.... if you wanna reply, please reply in the Q&A section, i put a thread in there. Dont wanna keep posting here since im not supposed to put threads here... Thanks!!
Try installing SMS Backup and Restore then. I never tried printing it out, but it saves the backup as a .xml file. Maybe you can find a way to open that?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Use a screen shot app then email yourself the pics and print them out. You'll have the SMS and the time stamp

[Q] Radio Rom for One S?

Hello, Please can somebody upload just radios without whole rom (shiped version)?
Hi to all
This is just to remind you this is for development only. As this device builds momentum, i suspect this section might become busy. So i post this to remind you of the rules of the development section.
Please do not start Question or request threads. These threads go in the general section. I will usually close these threads if posted here.
Do not ask for ETAs on Roms, it just clutters up the thread and annoys the developer.
Anything i condone as spam will be instantly deleted.
Please do not post thank you. That is what the thanks button is for.
If anybody feels a post should be a sticky, please PM me with the reasoning.
Please report any posts that are out of place, or contain questionable content. They will be dealt with quickly!
So basically please only post ROM Development, Hacks, Mods, Fixes and Tutorials in this section.
Thank you for your attention, if you have any further questions. Please feel free to PM me or one of the moderation team.

Even if I have unlocked bootloader?
I want to change the radio because I have a huge problems during talking. One word I hear another NO. Previously on Sensation it can be solved by changing the radio. My corrent rom is:1.53.401.2_Radio_0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L
I want to change only radio but if must flash whole ROM with different radio I AGREE.
Sorry for my bad English
you can only update radio if its signed... i.e in an RUU, or an OTA
otherwise you will have to wait for S-OFF
Ok, but when I tried to flash a stock ROM RUU I have an error 155, if you know how to solve it please let me know, thanks

The New Galaxy R i9103 Q&A Section

At long last, a Q&A section has been added to this forum! Hopefully this will help to reduce the clutter in the General section.
In the next few days, the moderators will be moving some threads around. Most of the movement will involve taking threads out of General and placing them into Q&A. This is going to be a long process of determining what belongs where, so please do not report these types of threads during this time. It will take some time for everyone to get adjusted to the new section, so the regulars members around here should provide gentle reminders to others to use this section.
I've posted a reminder here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945344
to let everyone know what types of posts belong in General and what belongs in Q&A. Everyone should take a quick minute to read it over.
While we are cleaning up around here, if the members who regularly frequent this forum (RCs in particular) want to make suggestions, I'd appreciate your comments. If there are old or outdated sticky posts or newer posts that should becoming sticky. Also, I'd like some suggestions about what to do with this very long Q&A thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483052
I've closed the thread in favor of having new questions posted as new threads, but does it have good information that it should remain sticky in the Q&A section? Is it mostly outdated material that can fade away?
Post all of your comments, suggestions, gripes, and concerns here.
Thanks!
Much needed! Much appreciated! Thnx a bunch! This will clear up a lot of mess. Contributors will have to be more vigilant now.:good:
EDIT: @kinfauns: I just gave you your 1000th thanks in this thread.:good:
great sign.. shows that our forum is getting more attention.. thank you for the much needed new section..
Oh finally !!
Thank you very much to the Admins, SMODs & MODs for this; specially to Red5, juzz86, siberian tiger & kinfauns. :good: :thumbup:
Cheers !
Thanks Mods and and SMODS...
so finally Galaxy R is gaining attention, traffic too...
we now have two mods to manage the forumm....its grt...!!

No, you shouldnt close this thread!! now i have a small question which is related to one simple issue (Yes i am noob :silly: and i dont knw to solve simple issue on my own, PROBLEM ???? lol)
For that simple issue there is no need to create a NEW THREAD, right ???
so where should i post that,
So, in my view that thread should be opened and stickied as it is now !!!
P.S. ; I have read that instructions post which you have posted above in the OP...
Thanks :good:
Thanks to everyone on this forum for making a successful transition and using the Q&A section for help and troubleshooting threads. I got done reviewing the General posts about a week ago and moved a few hundred threads over into Q&A. I'm very pleasantly surprised at the small number of new posts I've had to move into Q&A. For whatever reason, you guys seem to do a much better job (than some other fora) of using the Q&A section and keeping General free of clutter. :good:
There will always be some misplaced posts from time to time, so please use the "Report Post" button to have one of the moderators move a post if you see one out of place.
Now that the General section is free of most of these question posts, I believe it's time to continue the cleanup and move onto the Development section. Specifically, I believe the guides and howto's are a better fit in General so the Development section can just hold actual development threads... ROMs, tools, utilities, etc. I'll take a look at some of these when I find some free time.
Thanks!
We'll are always here to help you in making our section a better place.
There's one request I would like to make, could you please leave the guides which have information related to development of ROMs / make CWM flashable packages / dev related guides / etc in the Dev section ?
It would be really hard to find the guides in the General section with the number of threads we already have there & more to come in the future.
We do have a thread by Fenix in the General section which lists all such guides which could be made a sticky.
Let's us know your thoughts on the above.
Cheers !

Downgrade HTC Desire S from 4.0.4 to 2.3.5

Hello everybody !
I have an HTC Desire S, and I made the bigest mistake to upgrade to 4.0.4 via RUU.
I just want to downgrade to 2.3.5 with htc sense 3.0 withouth losing my warranty if that is possible !
Please tell me how I can do this and please behave this topic as a beginner person with no knowledge in this kind of operations !
I thank you in advance and hope to receive as many as possible answers that could help me to solve this problem.
P.S. I am from Romania. If someone around here knows the language, we can also speak in private.
Thanks !

Why can people not READ!!!!! This is a QUESTION - don't post it in the DEVELOPMENT forums That's why we have a Q&A forum.
Is it really that difficult for people to understand the basics? Also, learn to search. The question you have asked has been answered too many times to count - so please, go and read the stickies, use the search function and then you will, hopefully, understand what you need to do without us having to repeat what has been said many, many times before.
This is the kind of response that I did not expected to receive. If u know the basics, and if u are very good at this, help others too do not try to give them ethics lessons.

Read the rules of XDA. First Rule;-
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

I pointed out to you that you posted in the wrong place - Dev forum is for DEVELOPMENT work, not for people to ask questions.
I also pointed out that you should search first. Believe me, your exact question has been answered before - you are not the first person to ask this.
There is no point simply telling you the answers because then you won't understand what, why or where and if something goes wrong you will be lost. Much better to read, learn and understand exactly what you are doing and why.
Actually, simonTS is right.
Don't expect help, when you are incompliant to read forum rules.
This section is dedicated to custom roms etc.
Check other forums sections. There is plenty of stuff about downgradeing.

Just repect forum rules, post your questions in Q&A and you'll have expecting answers.
Try search by yourself, you probably find what you need :silly:
Just too slow !
Ok. Thanks. I have posted to the Q&A forum. Please delete this one.
So even after being scolded for not being bothered to search & find the solution yourself you still just post the question & expect others to get you out of the hole you yourself got you into! Man up, learn to read & fix it yourself!
