Delete the Google back-up??

Can't seem to find an answer to this. I had to get a replacement DHD (1st one had a very loose camera) and really wanted to have a fresh start with the new phone - no apps, etc. Since I had the backup thing checked on the 1st phone, the 2nd phone reloaded all the apps from the 1st phone. I've tried the various resets (with backup turned off), but nothing gets me back to a blank, clean phone.
Keep in mind that I'm not talking about the Contacts or Gmail being pulled in (that's fine) - I just don't want the apps & settings from the 1st phone. Uninstalling the apps doesn't quite get me to a clean install. Anyone know of a way to delete/turn off that backup that's sitting in the Google cloud?

What are you running? 2.1 or 2.2

The stock 2.2 rom from DHD

I've had the same problem, and as far I know there is no way to do it. There is a simple workaround, but you will have to disable backup all together:
1. Reset your device,
2. When first time setup will come on, set up your DHD BUT dont enter Gmail settings (for now).
3. Once done go into 'Settings', then 'Privacy' and UNCHECK box next to 'Back up my settings' and 'Automatic restore'.
4. Once done, set up your Gmail account (either manually or starting 'Setup' from All apps).
This seems to be the only way for now, and to be honest I'm quite shocked there is no easy way to manage backups from a pc/phone.
PS: I hope there is a better way - if somebody know one, then please share it with us.

You could also just sign in with a new google account.

You could, but most of us would like to keep the "old" one (for obvious reasons).

There are 2 ways to do it. The reason why it reload all the apps is becoz Ur gmail ID stores Ur download list for the market.
1. When u hard rest don't sign in to gmail. Let the setup finish. Once that's done open market place, it will ask u to sign in. As soon as u complete the sign in go to downloads. There u will c ur apps installed list, which will start to download automaticly. Click on each one and cancel the installation. There, ur list is clean now. U don't really need to do a hard rest after this but should do just Incase.
2. Goto market then to downloads and uninstall every thing and hard rest and ur back to a clean phone.
as I had the same issue, The first method worked for me.

Same thing has been bugging me as well!!
i've posted a question on googles help forum,
See if that get any suggestions...

any real answer to this yet or is there some type of pc/phone management for this??

It should ask for restoring from Google account while setting up the phone.
Just after the location server setting, I think.
Then just uncheck it.

Finding apps that you had that are no longer in the market?

There are a few apps I had downloaded back in June on ky EVO that are no longer in the market. I tried searching through Google for them and every link sends me to the market one way or another. Is there any way to get these again?

Are you rooted with a custom ROM by any chance?

Negative.............

Anyone........

If you still have the EVO, connect up to WiFi and go to market and download the app file manager (grey folder icon) and use its app back up area and back up the apps you want to there .apk format, and email them to your self..open app attachments from new phone and there you have it.

Or instead of emailing them to yourself you could download dropbox on both devices and download the apps to and from there. Also its free. I've had trouble with files being to large to make it out of my corporate server.

Let this be a lesson, you should not delete system files that you are not sure what they are for. Either add a .bak to the file name or save it to your computer first. Anyways pm me your email address and I will help you out.

Thank you..........

HTC weather sounds

Is there a way to enable sounds in the weather app? Tried installing a version from another Rom but it failed. I assume due to not being odexed.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Good question actually, if i recall correctly in WINMO you could enable weather sounds, it doesn't appear to work in fancy widget on Android is there another way to enable it?

Some roms like imilkas have the sound option in HTC weather, but this one doesn't. Maybe just an older version or something I don't know. Would be a nice option though.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I'm actually looking for a way to turn the sounds off! lol
Iv'e got the Virtous Unity ROM - and I'm sure they wasn't on 1st - and that I put them on in the settings somewhere but now there just getting annoying.
They come on every time you unlock your phone.
If anyone knows how to turn them off- let me no.
EDIT:
Found out how to do it. - Maybe you could use the same approach in reverse to apply the sounds on your phone?

[APP]Netflix

Was browsing the Evo 4G boards and ran across an .apk for the Netflix app on that just released recently. You cant install from the marketplace link, because this app wasnt "technically made for the HD2". But the program works and runs great for me when installing from the .apk listed on that forum.
I'm running Android: Ladyboo MIUI by the way. Test it out. thanks

I saw on the market feed back section that someone with a HD2 has it and is running fine. But I have a HD2 and I am not able to download it now is it on the list. How do you think he was able to get it?

I think it may have to do with whatever core build you are using. The NexusHD2 build for example will more than likely get it but Typhoon CM7 does not. But I was able to install locally and it works now for me.

Will this work for a HD2 Desire Z Nand Zip Rom?

Yeah it does for me too, we just can't see it in the Market

I can't see it in the market through my phone either. You guys tried that patch or download it straight from the market online via pc?

Yes sir, installed and started up just fine.

Nice, I will load it when I get to my pc. Unless theres a way to do it to the root file from my phone.

Yeah just come here with your phone browser (or the XDA app) and download right to your phone, any file manager will install it once you have it on your sdcard

Anyone have any idea what could cause this and possibly how to fix? I just tried reinstalling and power cycling the phone. I also tried to disable mobile network and use WiFi. No luck. When it starts to play the video I see the pause button and the time bar then they disappear and it goes back to the netflix home screen.

How do I install that package? Would I go to the bootloader menu and open the zip file from there and then launch my rom?

HTC HD2, MIUI stock build. Works *just* fine! Thanks a LOT!

emmc music, use doubletwist, or similar to fix for now, no true hw acceleration, and a popup when downloading from market about file size.

Hmmm ok I'll try it out, hopefully the calendar shows this time. I tried the MIUI.us one and didn't have a calendar

i've been working on that, it's been a lingering issue. but on my last 4 boots with install it's been there.

Just loaded it on and everything works as it should. Even put Apex on so now I have either MIUI launcher or stock launcher!
Although I'm having problems with root permission and the keyboard doesn't do as well as correcting like the AOKP ICS build
**Sorry didn't see the post about the SU flash...I'll try that**

Just thought I would put out my findings so far on this version:
Cons:
- After putting on the SU flash it seems to have helped with the root permissions. Root Explorer crashes on me when I open it, it asked for root permission and this FC's.
- The keyboard doesn't recognize words like the typical ICS keyboard does and puts the red line under normal words that you would use. Even changing keyboards it still does it in the messaging apps and things. Not sure if it's a translation thing or what. Like in notes I have "one call for scheduling" for some notes I took and all four of those words have red lines under them.
- Notes and a few other things aren't translated to English, still is in Chinese even though I have English set as the language.
- Autobrightness doesn't seem to work the best, it stays pretty dim after the screen goes off and back on.
Pros:
- Battery life seems to be good but I haven't charged completely to test, I just charged a light charge and has stayed at the battery level for about a hour now and I have used it slightly so it does appear that it's good.
- Not really by your doing but it's nice being able to use the Apex launcher with the MIUI launcher so you could have the vanilla ICS look as well as MIUI look without changing roms.
- Gallery works fine on my end as well as the external music files. Doesn't read the internal but that's already posted I believe.
Hope that's not to long of a post and provides some good feedback, Calendar showed up this time on this flash and everything else seems to be working like it should

Is the fixed ROM a flashover and is there a way to get rid of the "download size requires WI-fi"?

Hey Mark, loving this rom so far. Seems really solid and am looking forward to the next update.
Was the 1x4 miui music widget removed? I'm only seeing the 4x4. Any way to get that back?
Just rembered: the Facebook sync, under accounts and sync, doesn't work. When you choose it, it just returns you to the account list.

If the widget was removed it was because of china, we should see it again soon though. This week they reintroduced their "custom music" app. For facebook sync, ICS removed it, you will need to download an app from market, i use http://tinyurl.com/7snt9sw from market. It syncs all contacts and pictures. Just add account from settings>accounts and sync

Thanks for the info! Surprised to hear ics removed Facebook integration. I'm a sucker for that kind of baked in goodness, but luckily there's usually an app for it.
