Hi there,
I seem to have become an Android ROM addict (must find the holy grail!).
As a result I have currently settled with nk02's R4 (Thanks!!!). It's fast and full of features but it still doesn't stop me wanting to play more.
Since downloading nk02's R4 I have paid for some apps which I want to keep and transfer on to any new ROM.
Simply... how do I do it?

they will be available for redownload after you have installed new rom
But u must use the same Gmail account other wise they will not be there once you have re flashed
Do it with the DDMS debugger. you can pull out every file on the device including the installed programs apk's.
If I'm talking Gibberish to you maybe you shouldn't do it
Thank you peeps!

I also have a Google Ion and I have tried at least 3 different ROM's. I currently use the custom Ion ROM.
1. Yes you can backup your current ROM/images using Nandroid.
2. No it does not have root
3. I don't know for sure.

thanks man i appreciate the support so i went ahead and flashed the hero rom optimized ..and man the rosie was ..pretty..but laggy..so i disable the rosie ui and went back to the original everything was good but the internet browser was awful..it lagged and i cant zoom..but the htc camera is a god send..the original was awful in low lighting..this one its great..but thanks guys for replying
I almost did the same thing as you
Got my Magic last week,.. couldn't stand the vodafone splash, wanted to change it (but was a bit scared..)
After 2,3 days on a weekend, I rooted my Magic and started to experiment with ROMs. I tested Hero (also found it too laggy even after "tweak"), Rogers G2 and now nk02's ION. I also changed the splash screen so now I am kind of happy with my Magic..
But i must addmit (after seeing those cool Hero shots) I wish there would be a fast, nice and clean Hero rom (i dont need Rosie, i would just like calendar, contacts, dialer, camera,..) I have a feeling it might come soon ,,

try this rom;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524229
It has the new camera & dialer... not calendar or contacts though. Also has a few other things too.
I've tried most now, and for me this is the best so far, for me anyway.
Sorry for the noob question..but i so wanted google application in my HTC Magic..
is there a way to install those application in my Non Google Branded Android?
i have a dreaded perfected SPL..i can't do flashing..
and btw i have tried download gmaps.apk and install it through apps installer but it didn't work..
thanks
Hey.. Google Search is your friend.
I downloaded YouTube.apk and that helped. Gmaps.apk and gmail.apk didn't install for me too, but I believe it is possible to extract them from the SDK and then install them. Will PM you if I get it working.
Ciao,

What do you mean by gmail.apk?
I do have GMail as an app on my HTC branded device, but I spotted the "generic" mail application which I prefer over HTC's own version. Any way to get the mail app from Google onto a HTC branded device? It's just so much nicer looking...!
yea... me too... ori htc branded is totalled.. i tried to cook jachero and fatality's rom but no prevail...
fatality can't boot
jachero boot nicely with all u need but its very laggy especially loading phone and contacts... so decided to restore my ori.. still trying to install gapps... if possible i'll post the apps ....
c u guys.. have a nice stay...

Hi,
Thank you guys (and girls of course) for pushing the android experience more than just-another-smart-phone for the curious users.
I have searched a lot by moving around in this forum for last couple of days, looking for a cool ROM for my first ever (but not last, only the beginning) ROM upgrade.
I have read the wiki and have explored all the given links. But I couldn't find few simple answers. Please help me by answering my following questions-
1. Is there any list of currently available ROMs with pros and cons of each ROM? Is there any benchmark for stability, performance,supported features for all the available ROMs ?
2. What's there any matured stable 2.x.x ROM for HTC magic 32A which is not-slow and does well what it is supposed to do?
3. What's the pros and cons for older versions and newer versions? In another way of asking- why you developers still working on the 1.5 and 1.6 ROMs? Why not 2.x.x for HTC magic?
4. (lame question) Which of the ROM versions does have flash 10 (so that flash videos or files will work on webpages)?
Please ignore my lack of knowledge and enlighten me and other newbies as well.
Thank you very much once again
1. No but you may have a look at this.
2. Manup456's Eclair is what I'd go for. It isn't slow nor buggy but keep in mind that there are things that still don't work properly and probably won't until HTC or some operator releases an official 2.1 update for the Magic. You'll also need a port to install it on a 32A.
3. 1.5 and 1.6 have been officially released for the Magic while 2.xx hasn't yet. That means everything works as it should on 1.5 and 1.6. On 2.1 you get the new Android features but you lose some functionalities as well so it all depends of what you need and don't need (if you can live without camera recording and hardware acceleration you'll be fine). People also stick to some 1.5 ROMs because of SenseUI (there are a few 2.xx ROMs with SenseUI but none of them is really ready for prime time).
4. Flash 10 isn't available to us yet. There is a version of Flash Player included in the HTC Browser (meaning you need a ROM which includes the HTC framework) but it's not that great as it doesn't support the newer Actionscript 3/FP 10 Flash files. It can play Youtube videos though.
My personal advice would be to avoid 2.xx ROMs for the moment and to try a good stable 1.5 SenseUI ROM like Cursorsense or GyD... and if you then feel that 1.5 is too old you can try Amon RA's Donut or Ahmgsk's.
Hope this helps... you could have posted this in the general forum though
Hi.
I hope this is in the correct forum but if not please let me know.
Ive a UK milestone, i finally figured out root and using openrecovery last night after about 5 hours,
i tried cyanogenmod but it ate the battery. i only did it so i could use my phone through http proxy in university. is there any 2.1 nandroid backups available that have this feature?
im guessing because its 2.1 it wont eat the battery so fast, even if it was based on 2.01 Id be happy - im even considering changing it for a G1
oh yeah - i tried installing tranparent proxy on my stock rom (from xda i think) but it says my current rom has no iptables
Thanks very much,
JP
I need your help guys and devs for one problem. I had to downgrade from wildhero (2.3.3 sense) to 2.1 cuz I needed more stable rom for a few days. I choosed one and flashed it, but the market didn't show most of the featured apps, like Skype, My Tracks, Google Sky Map, Xda devs, Tapatalk and many more. I used Search and it's the same - they're not in the results.I thought its location problem but it isn, cuz after a lot flashing different roms I haven't any problems till now. Tried 3 different 2.1 sense roms - its the same - same missing apps. Now when I flashed back this wildhero 2.3.3 sense rom (ver1.2.1) everything is fine , like it should be. I think its 2.3.3 Sense problem , somehow it restricts old android`s version market.. its wired... could you help me somehow ?? please its important to know !!
The Android market will not display any apps which are written specifically for newer OS versions on older ones:
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/versioning.html
Man , I know that, Im not so stupid...Imagine you downgrade from Froyo to Eclair and when U open the Market - most of the usual apps U can see in Eclair are misiing. Thats whats going on here.
