How can I copy my Contacts (Google or Phone based) to the SIM card?
I cannot work out how to do this on my HTC Desire. Thanks.
Anyone? Thanks
Use Contact2SimPro from Market
Thanks. I've found it.
I'm surprised there is no on-board way to do this.

Is there anywhere I can download the APK for this?
The developer has taken the unusual step to copy protect it, preventing you from using ASTRO etc... to backup the APK. I've not come across this before, other paid Apps I can backup.
It's annoying. I paid for it!

Specifically, the ones on here posted by sopL87 (the 30 additional ported from the thunderbolt) and the ones by gadget from team bamf.
Stock 2.3.4 (installed the 5 RSSI update recently) sense 2.1
... I know that is probably a sin on these forums...
(not being rooted, that is)
you can put the .apk file on your sd card and use it to uninstall it that way, or go into system/app and find the skin and delete it.
skins, skins
Long holding them while in panel view gives me "ernt" of haptic feedback like something is supposed to happen, but nothing does. When I was on froyo hitting menu in the skin picker brought up list/panel view and delete with an x. Now all I get is list and panel...
I understand how to download & install the skins to sd card making sure the file extension is .apk or they won't install. I know you press on them in the file explorer (I use ES) to install them like any other app or .apk.
I looked in the phone's internal storage directory with es under system/app and found where the stock skins that come pre installed on the phone are, but where are the ones I have downloaded and installed stored?
I will probably have to find them there to delete them. Then again, I am not rooted and might not be able to delete them if they are in the phones internal memory and designated as a system file.
Deleting the file off the sd card does not un install the skin, it simply deletes the file off the sd card.
*sigh*...

No, I don't see them there either.
Yeah, I had to do a factory reset recently, like a month ago, and that is a sure fire way to clear them out.
It is not bothering me that bad to pull the trigger on a factory reset.
I just thought there might be another way (easier) to uninstall them than that.
How about clearing data on the skin picker under manage applications?
What would that do?
Probably won't clear them out, huh?

If you're rooted, use titanium backup

When using titanium backup, I would back up my setup now with the skins installed & then find the .apk files in the backup & delete them there.
Then when I restore the saved backup, they would be gone, right?
Or you go into TiBu, click apps at the top, find and select the skin, click uninstall
Hey Guys!
I took over the Wildfire of a friend and he reseted it. Now i wanted to put my SD-Card in it but all the Apps i want to download are safed in the internal storage. By Google search i just found solutions for saving fotos and videos on SD-Card but not Apps and so on.
It runs with 2.3.5 Android. Can you help me?
Thanks
Would it not be easier as it is to put all your apps into an online backup like SOS? (Link here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yLDEsImNvbS5zb3NvbmxpbmViYWNrdXAuYW5kcm9pZCJd
Then backup your apps, photos, videos, music etc.. After that download the app onto the other device, sign into your account and redownload everything to the SD. The way you're trying to do it just opens the door to confusion.

I think you should try the titanium backup(you can find it here "http://www.filecrop.com/77298937/index.html").you can backup almost everything you have...you should definitely give it a try

Yeah nice solutions, the problem is i got a new SD. So the only way i can imagine how it could work is to download all the APKs i need, and put them on my SD-Card... but i think it wants to install on the internal storage, or does it install whereever the apk is?
Thanks!

Unfortunately for you, mate, the Android is made so that an app is almost always installed on the internal space and, if the developer included this, it could be moved to the sd card. The location of the apk makes no difference and even if you moved it, it leaves parts in the internal storage (like moving only half of it).
I suggest you use Data2SD or Link2SD (I preffer the latter) to install whatever app you need totally to the sd.
Hi everyone,
I had a question that hopefully someone can help me with. I have been searching all over the internet but cannot seem to find an answer to this. i was getting a few bugs in my HTC Desire HD phone and decided to do a factory reset. I backed up my SMS, Contacts and Applications. I also copied the entire SD card onto my computer with the thought that if I missed anything the files would still be there.
Well when I was doing the restore I suddenly realised I hadn't included a backup of my bookmarks (default Android browser0 and Shazam tags. I have a rooted phone but cannot seem to find any files in there for the bookmarks or tags in Shazam. Would those have been wiped when I did a factory reset?
If not where in the SD card where the files be?
Thanks!

I guess that bookmarks are stored in the phone and not in the sdcard.

Dang, thanks anyway:good:
Bookmarks can be backed up to your Google account, they should auto restore after adding Google in "settings - accounts".
Shazam and other apps are usually stored in phone memory unless you moved it to phone.

Hi guys I need some big help. Well I have backuped my sms to a sd card. Now I have there one very important SMS but cannot read it. Neither I can read it on my PC nor on my phone using some backup tools. The file doesn´t have any extension it just says file. Does anyone know how to help me?
The file´s size is 284 KB, so there are messages in it,but I just don´t know how to open it. I tried a lot of sms restore and backup programs from the goople play store.

I'm confused. What method did you use to back the SMSes up? Do you not remember because you tried a lot of programs?
I didn´t used any programm, I was using DHD with 2.3.5 android version, and it had a option export sms to SD card. That is how I did the backup.
I used to have 2.3.5 until a couple of weeks ago and I don't rermember such an option to store messages on the sd. Anyway you could try with .xml extension...
I remember on my old HTC Aries, when I backed up I was able to open and view using notepad++

That's how I used to backup, then it wouldn't read on these android 4+ roms so I used play store apps to backup now.
My suggestion is try the same Rom you backup-ed and see for a restore button in the messaging app. The HTC backup won't work for the 3rd party backups.

Am I missing something? or is there no preinstalled File Manager?
Preinstalled apps, and google apps are the only apps allowed to write/edit to the miceSD card, so why wouldn't HTC install one?
Already regretting getting this phone, since I download a Lot of work files via my phone, and now I'm unable to move them from the downloads folder to the proper folder on the microSD.
Just downloaded one from Google play, loads to choose from.

Well I tried it, but that app, just like all the other ones on the play store do not let you move files from the phone memory to the microSD.
It won't let you Delete anything either...
All you can do is view the microSD. No writes can be made to it.
Android 4.4 won't let the apps do that anymore. (Unless rooted)

Then no other File Manager can do it either (without root). Can you delete files when connected to a PC?

Yes the files on the microSD can be altered via the PC. But apps like airDroid won't work anymore.
Working all the go, I don't have time to stop to plug the phone up to the computer every time I need to move/rename/delete a file.

same boat here. I copy via USB2go all the time on my Note 3, and this is crippled for the M8. There's a work around, but you need to unlock the boot loader first, which for me is a pain, since it will reset the phone. I'm pretty OCD and it takes me some time to set everything up the way I like it. At this point, i'm just doing the PC transfer thing.
Upload the files to Google drive and then download to your memory card?

Google Drive saves any downloaded files to the internal memory, under the download folder. And there is no way to change where its saved to (that I know of)
It was just a poor choice of Google to disallow 3rd Party Apps from emaking changes to the external memory. They should have atleast
Made it a requirement for the manufacturer to include a file manager. Or Google them self should have. I understand they trying to push people to use Google Drive, but until data usage is free I won't used Google Drive to save nothing more than Google docs.

A google backed file manager with full write permissions would be awesome, but that would be going against what they are trying to accomplish.
