You need to reboot after applying the high res setting. Found some apps look odd though so have gone back!

Django x2 · 11 Nov 2010 at 13:24

So a waste of money then

mrk · 11 Nov 2010 at 13:29

Well no, it gets refunded when you uninstall! It works best on 4"+ phones tbh.

Django x2 · 11 Nov 2010 at 13:33

Thats what I thought, but when I unistalled, it just said, you can download this again and you won't be charged. How do I get my refund tbh!

mrk · 11 Nov 2010 at 13:34

Uninstall from within the market :-P

It's been age since I updated my desire's ROM, I must have some ancient version of AdamG OpenDesire and I recently noticed he stopped that and started working on Oxygen.
Reading the replies apparently this ROM is very nice?
I have question tho, if I'd like to change ROM, I gotta whipe but whats the best way to backup all my crap so I don't have to re-install all apps and mails/sms etc..

Probably a newb question, but couldn't find the answer anywhere

Is there a way of finding out when your phone is backed up by Google? Or does it do it automatically?

Reason I was asking is because I've got a new Desire and as I put my Google account details in, it downloaded all the apps and restored my contacts and calendar. Also it restored my background from a while back...so was confused!

Theres a setting when you set up your google account on the desire which asks if you want to use googles backup service

ResToggle on Android Market, using High Res mode, looks awesome

Where is that setting if you have already setup your account?

which is the best back up solution, as after rooting i spend ages setting up my home screens and apps the way i like, i then try a custom rom, after a while i go back and then spend hours downloading and setting up apps, is there a bit of kit that will take an complete backup snapshot and restore it to the letter... or is that wishful thinking

I believe you are looking for nandroid backup. Complete snapshot of your entire phone, it can be done in recovery mode.

Vonsteve · 12 Nov 2010 at 10:52

When I get my phone back I'm guessing that I will most likely get a reconditioned phone. Which I'm guessing will most likely be an SLCD version with all the latest software updates.... What will this mean if I want to root my phone again?

I don't think you can change it. Just delete the account and set back up again

Locke · 12 Nov 2010 at 20:35

I've only installed ROMS by Nandroid, then wiping. So I wasn't sure how it remembered when to backup my stuff. Just wanted to know if there was a way of updating that backup, but I guess there isn't.

so if i do a nadroid backup then wipe and chuck a rom on i can come straight back to exactly how i was before?

Yep, it creates image files of your various partitions. My latest one is around 600 MB I think.

No. Nandroid just ghosts your phone so it will restore your previous ROM if you restore it.

You need Titanium Backup from the market which backs everything up and can be used to restore the phone between ROM's. Some homescreen widgets MAY need reapplied but that's about it.

Deep · 13 Nov 2010 at 12:23

I always need to restore my widgets manually

Its very annoying

Oh and when I performed a back up recently I lost 16,000 text messages
