[Q] Advice on migrate from Desire to Desire S

Hi
I am migrating from a Desire to a Desire S and I'd like some advice.
Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to transfer bookmarks from one Android phone to another? I'd rather not install an app if possible so I'm hoping that I can browse to a file storage area.
Also is there an easy way to transfer the list of remembered wifi spots between Android phones? I'm not expecting that the passwords would be transferred just the list.
Lastly, is there a way to transfer my Locale settings?
Thanks in advance
Update 24th April: I've transferred my bookmarks and backed up my sms (at least the ones I wanted to keep) - simple enough but notes, recognised wifi spots, etc are still "trapped" on my original Desire.
Also i'm not interested in rooting my phone - so please don't suggest anything that requires a rooted phone. Cheers

No advice is I guess sometimes the best advice one person can give to another being

Backup your settings with Google and import it on your desire s. You will see what u get back otherwise search in the data partition

what about Transfer data app?

Titanium backup can do the job?

Desire S haven't been rooted yet so it's not possible.

Thanks but I'm not sure what you mean by "back up your settings with Google..." I looked through my original Desire and despite that could not find the "backup" feature that is so frequently referenced.
If you can advise on how to access the data partition, I'd appreciate it.

it has with superoneclick root. its just clockwork recovery mod doesnt support the desire s yet. so we can flash custom roms

Best sideloading

Just run the SuperOneClick rooting tool. Click root. Wait till its done. Click Enable Non-Market apps. Restart Phone. Install apps from the SD card.
You dont get actual root but you can install any app you want no hassle.

This is confirmed. I ran SuperOneClick. It ran all the way through with no errors like I got root and then I clicked Allow Non Market Apps. After disconnecting and rebooting, of course I truly did not have root, but I tried installing a non market apk file from my sd card and it worked!! It did not add the option to the settings menu, but nonetheless it is enabled. This should work great for the Amazon Appstore now. Thanks for the heads up!!

Confirmed x2 - this was all I was looking for ATM.. Didn't think about using the ol SuperOneClick

SOC will give you temp root until you reboot.
All you need is temp root to enable Non-market apps...I suggested this to people a month or so ago.
Glad to see it show up again. Its a super-easy solution for those not wanting full root, but still wanting sideloading.
It's even easier to do than the Sideloading wonder machine...

Works great. I still think its time for me to go all the way.

Gives temp root? Sweet all I need

THANK YOU just what I needed, sideloading on the go..!!! WORKS..

At first Amazon store was cool getting a couple free apps. Then I realized they don't transfer over and you have to continue using amazon store to update them. Kinda sucks just to save a couple bucks.

Thank you for posting. Are the weather widget and such also included? It would be great being able to use them on an alternate launcher

Don't tell me this doesn't have the reader app either,wtf.

I see EReader, does that not work? Because I don't have my Sensation yet, I can't test.

Ereader doesn't install! Sucks! Can't beleive they would have the widget(shelf) but no ereader app

I am pretty new to HTC, I just moved over from the Vibrant. Do these app require the phone to be rooted before it can be installed or just installing the apk will work. I know with the Vibrant, you have to copy the files to the system directory. But in order to get there, I needed to root my phone. Is this the same thing?

Unless they've been altered they will require root. They may also have dependencies that don't exist on our altered systems. I took all the apps out of the posted stock roms on the dev board over the weekend. The only one that would install was sound recorder but that was installed via htc sync and it wouldn't work.
So far the only app I know will work is the car panel but I'm not sure where that even came from since I heard it was left out of the euro s4g too.

Gameboid Emulator Pulled From the Market?

Hey I didn't see any threads for this in a search and none in the similar threads. I payed $4 for this app and I just flashed a new rom and I was looking for it to install and it seems to be pulled from the market. Can anyone confirm that this app disappeared?
I really don't want to have to restore an old nandroid backup to get this back. But its looking like I will have to.

Gone from my market as well.

There is nothing I can do to get refunded is there?

I just checked on my unrooted Echo. No luck on finding it.
I think you might have to contact Google or the App developer about getting a refund.

Who is the dev for Gameboid? I was able to recover GameBoid 2.4.7 through a nandroid backup and then a titanium backup. But I would like to find an APK so I don't ever lose it again. Anyone have one or know where one is?

If you have succesfully recovered the app through Titanium Backup, take a look into /data/app and there's the apk of Gameboid!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Gensoid suffered the same fate didn't it? And it doesn't work ie it doesn't load the roms. Gameboid was perfect on my sensation.

All yongzhs apps are going. I own all but nesoid. So unfortunately I have to use a cracked copy now (I can't really ask for a refund for apps I bought a year ago). Sad that Google don't even give purchasers a warning that something they paid for will be basically stolen away from them.

I only ask b/c I noticed when I go to Market, it believes I have a Sensation XE after I downloaded Revolution. Is there way to make Market think I have a Nexus S or SII or something like that?

You have to be rooted to do this.
open your build.prop file (in system) and look for..
ro.product.model=(Insert new device name here) -- I found this entry twice on my Sensation (ARHD 4.1.7)
ro.product.manufacture=(insert the manufacture's name)
If you choose a phone model compatible with the app then you should be able to download it.
Make sure you make a nandroid back up!

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunatley, I do not see /system folder under ES File Manager. I'm running the latest version of Revolution.

You need to be rooted and have ticked the root explorer option and mount system

Strange. That is what I gathered from reading the forums but I don't see the folder. I confirmed I had root as well. I'm so bummed and annoyed that I care about this game!

Okay...I found it. How do I edit it? I used QuickOffice but the file wouldn't save. Also, I only saw the ro.device/manufacturer listed once. And it also said I have a HTC Pyramid?

Use Root Explorer (Easiest), Terminal (with VI, only if you know VI though), Notepad++ (on a PC)..

Keep looking, it should be there somewhere.
And I used ES note editor

Thanks, I was able to make the changes and save it, but I'm not sure if it worked. I could not see We Rule in Android Market.
However...on Market when I go on it with my computer, it says "this app is not compatible with your TMobile Samsung Nexus S"

So you can download it?

No, I cannot download it. Not sure why b/c I was able to when I did have a Nexus S. On a side note, before the market was more developed, I was able to download We Rule from teh market but after signing in and loading, I would get a message saying the game was incompatible with my phone. I'm wondering if it's because we do not have a device w/ Tegra 2?

Did it say why it was incompatible? you need to press the small + icon when you are browsing the market on your computer.

"We Rule is currently not available on your device. We're working hard to make the game accessible to everyone. Please check back soon, and try other Mobage games in the meantime."
The + button says "T-Mobile HTC HTC Sensation 4G
This item is not compatible with your device."

Bummer.
We Rule was updated today and still does not work for the HTC Sensation.
