I'm not this is achievable on a stock ROM, but maybe you can download the apk from your computer, use the usb cable to copy the apk onto your phone and run the apk from your phone. That should install the application, and allow you to backup your messages.

If you have a stock ROM, there MUST be at least one application that allows browsing of your SD Card. You're sure you're not running some carrier-brewed OS right?

[Q] HTC Desire HD complete backup to PC

Hi all,
I am having my phone replaced by Orange (GPS and 'no network' issues).
Is there a piece of software that I can use to backup my HTC DHD to PC to include all data. By all data I mean apps, SMS, contacts, etc...?
Or, failing that, if I copy everything from the phone (in disk drive mode) to the PC from my old phone, and then copy it back again, will it all appear as it was?
Thanks in advance.
If you have a rooted phone then a simple nandroid backup will copy the exact state of your phone which can be copied to your pc and restored at a later date.
If not, then then the process becomes a bit more tedious, I'm afraid. Downloading and running the SMS backup + app should cover the text messages. Syncing or backing up contacts will sort out contact details. You can use BookmarkSB to save and restore bookmarks, and syncing the calendar events with you google account will prevent you losing anything.
For other app data, you may have to go into particular apps and back up manually. Even then, I'm not sure how you'll be able to instantly restore things like home page and icon layout.
Good luck.
Oh, and HTC sync may help too.
I used MyPhoneExplorer for that, can backup almost everything. Didn't need root access too
google it up
yup..i used phone explorer........but tell me which type of connection for usb is needed for backing up ????????
i mean is it disk drive or Htc syc ??????

It's disk drive, you may find it even faster using WiFi with My Phone Explorer.

U can use Droid Explorer too, but i prefer MPE...

[Q] Deleting old app data

Hi there.
I've used two RUU in the last year on my DHD. After a phone restart, I go straight to the Marketplace to redownload the apps I had before using the RUU.
Some of the apps don't automatically download, and I can't remember them all so there's probably some old applications and associated data on there.
The SD card is getting full so I was wondering if there was an app out there I could use to remove all app data except that of apps which are currently installed.
I'm running a stock DHD on the latest 2.3.5 ROM with Sense 3.0.
Thanks for your help!
Easiest way I find personally...
Back up your contact list, photos, music, ring tones and the settings files on the main programs you can remember - Even better, use the HTC program
Format the card.
Plug it into the phone and let it load it's file system and then make a back up of that on your PC for future use. Just remember to back up your new contacts, photos etc...
Go to recovery or 4ext / CWM and delete Dalvik
EDIT: Later you can delete them one by one those which you don't use
I think SD maid can do that... I've heard it works pretty good.

On SD card there is directory called \Android\. There are apps data.

Best and safest way.
I got a question about filesystem on SD card.
If you format it ext4 - how is it speed-wise? Actually what are main advantages?
And can windows7 then normally recognize "disk drive"?

I did it several times but the problem still exist..thanks..
Maybe your SD card is messed up. That leads to problems with gallery and music apps sometimes. Connect your phone to your computer in disk drive mode, copy everything on the SD card to your computer, format your SD card to fat32 with 32KB cluster (if you use Windows, uncheck quick format and let it do the slow full format) , then copy everything back from your computer to the SD card. Delete the .thumbnails folder in DCIM.
Clear data of gallery again and see if the problem still happens.

Desire in mess

Hi guys I have Htc Desire and it is acting wierd since My brother pulled battery out while it was sending 2 email.
Since then I gett all errors like android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly and lots of other like google services stop.
I need my contacts but as I enter contacts It gives me that acore error and returns me to homescreen...I dont care for data just contacts..
Also phone wont search for wifi and it turns by it self bluetooth and it wont go to airplane mode..
Help please..It did not sync all contacts to google and I have like 1500 of them inphone and on google just 35.
Try downloading a contacts app from playstore and if it manages to run ok you could back them up to SD card then do factory reset.

Press phone/people/menu/manage contacts/export to sdcard (mite not be exact, depending on rom)
That will copy all contacts to a file on ur sdcard (v card r something then save the file to pc, just incase for future) then u can factory reset ur phone.

Yes I did..no luck
Maybe you could try safe mod.
Only other way i can think is possibly pushing a different contacts.apk via adb commands
Try here to set up adb and fastboot, follow the guide to learn how to push an apk to /system/app, or may even work pushing it to /data/app
Try several, I previously used go contacts but there are plenty on the play store which you could download
Hope that works, though I've never tried this myself don't think you've got anything to lose.

Changing App icons

Hello I am wondering how to change an existing apps icon . I’ve tried using apps directly from play store , they don’t work properly . Once app is on phone , do i send app to SD card , send to pc in an emulator , modify .apk file on pc, send it back to phone ? If so , how can I properly sign the app so phone will recognize it after .apk has been decrypted and modified ? Is there any easier way to achieve this ? Is there some way to access mobile phone with some kind of interface from pc and have phone appear as a hard drive where I can drag and drop from phone to pc ? Please help! I’m new to this
