Got new hero coming Monday, can I restore my nandroid from this one to new one?

I've never tried but more than one person said it works

All you need to do is change the folder name that holds all of the backups with your new phone serial number. If you look inside the nandroid folder you'll see what I mean. Àt least that's how it was way back when I had to do it.

I Do it All the Time... I Have a Spare Hero that I use for Testing Certain things I'm Basically to Weary of on my Main phone!
All you have to do is Copy Over the Whole ClockworkMod Folder from one Sdcard to the Other! Either that or just Take out your Sdcard and put it into the New Phone, Reboot to Recovery/Restore/Reboot the Phone/Switch Back to the New Sdcard/And Make a Backup Again, onto the New Sdcard! That's it...
Lemme know if it Works!!

USB OTG support for HTC salsa
Hi ,
My device is HTC salsa (rooted), running by stock rom(Android version 2.3.3, kernel version 2.6.35.10), will my device support USB OTG ?, so that i can connect Flash drives(Pen drive/hard disk/mouse/keyboard) to my device, if not , is there any way to make my device to support USB OTG. I don't have interest in custom ROM.

hi there, although you can use the search function for this, i may aswell allow this question for others that wish to follow this.
I typed in USB OTG and got this as top search >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820375
please beware this isn't designed to run on our phones, this may or may not work. i would suggest using the search functions and look into HTC variants of this and not other brands. Good Luck in your quest chap :good:

How can I save system app as .apk file, so that I can use it in another mobile or installing as user app. I tried by link2sd, but I can able to do for some app only.

that's not recommended, why would you want to? all you would do is cause force closures and possibly crash the system.apk which renders the phone pretty useless. the system.apk is meant for each phone so for use in another htc model it probably wouldn't work correctly or functions would be missing, and to use in another brand android you will find it won't work at all.
rule of thumb, never move a system app to the sd card. unless you want to reflash your rom again or know how to replace it back again.this goes for google play, and other main system files just to save space.
Since Internal memory is low and I don't want to loose system app , I just wanted to convert system app to user app,install as user app and create a link through link2sd. So that it my internal memory increases.

there's no other way other than rooting and using data2sd to increase memory. its been tried and tested and all you end up with is failure and some serious complications
phone lags with data2sd
I flashed data2sd on my phone and I am using v11 BB X Stock ROM. My phone started hanging after data2sd , what do I do ?

Use Root Browser from Play Store. But do you want to copy the whole folder? You atleast cant save the folder an an .apk. But you can copy all .apk contents for sure.
Please don't encourage users to do the wrong thing. Never move or mess with system apps when they don't know what there Doing. All you said here has contradicted what I said of don't do it.

I have question,
I just got a new 8 GB SanDisk class 10, and have formatted Ext3, should I pop in the card on the existing ROM running existing a Data2Ext script ? Or should I flash the script back into the existing ROM ?

I'm currently running CM 10.1.2 in rom slot 1 as my only rom. Unfortunately I don't think the 2 gb data partition I created at the beginning is going to be enough for much longer... does anybody know a good way to deal with this? Is there a way to resize a partition after creating it?

I don't believe you can resize the partition after creating it. What you can do is back up your CM slot, delete the slot, recreate it with a larger data partition, and then restore your CM backup.
That makes sense... thanks kwyrt!

Is there any disadvantage creating a rom slot like it can lessen the lifespan of phone's internal memory?

Just boot in to safestrap, select "Backup", select where you want to save it, name it, then slide the toggle and it will back up your current ROM slot. Piece of cake.

Or install 10.2 on stock ROM slot

Necro-ing to say this worked for me. Thanks kwyrt.
I didn't even realize I made a small slot until I went for months fighting against space limitations, wondering why DiskUsage wasn't recognizing all of my internal storage. Slot1 has been such a daily (read: only) driver that I didn't even think about safestrap's slot partitioning.
I was looking through my files in a file manager app and I came upon a folder called "0" (zero, or maybe the letter o). I opened it and it contained a whole bunch of folders filled with stuff I had from old ROMs I installed. I was just wondering if it is important or not? Can I delete it?

Currently running holoblur and it's /sdcard/0/
Sent from my Atrix HD using Tapatalk 4
Not sure about that. I would keep it unless someone that knows more says it's fine to delete. I don't think it's used by holoblur, but it may be used by other ROMs you may want to flash later.
I have that in my stock ROM as well. I don't think there is an easy way to get rid of it.

You have to leave it. Something with the roms causes that to happen and if you delete one it'll delete the other.

make a backup in cwm then first test by renaming and if you do not come across issues then delete
ps this is experimental so you must be prepared flash back to stock and lose a'll your info

On roms other than 4.2.2 or 4.3 it can be deleted if you don't have any cwm backup...

I've noticed that as well on my phone, tested a couple of custom Roms like LiquidSmooth before coming back to HoloBlur. For me it was data files/folders from the stock build, was in a folder called "0" in the root of the internal memory. It's old data that I needed so I moved it back to the root directory and overwritten/merged with whatever new folders that were created (since they were fresh/empty folders anyway) and then I deleted the 0 folder.
It's safe to do so, one of custom Roms that was flashed moved all the internal data to that 0 folder during the install.

What ROM did you come from? Usually CyanogenMod makes directories like that. I am running my own customized version of CM and my sdcard is not "/storage/sdcard" but is really "/storage/legacy/0 (or 1 depending on internal or external sdcard)". If you are sure that it is from an old rom than by all means delete it if you don't want it. (Note: I take no responsibility for lost or damaged files)
I always do a system format and data abs cache never had this pop up

im on cm 10.2 and my storage is down to 400 mb without any apps installed so i think this 0 folder has something to do with it, but i cant figure out why it is taking up all my storage.

Can one simply backup their stock ROM and restore it to a rom slot? If I could, I wouldnt be as worried trying out different mods.

Yes, you can absolutely do that. Please watch this video to learn about the basics including backing up and restoring ROM slots. It's for a different phone, but it works exactly the same on the S4 Active.

Thank you. That makes me less worried about trying different mods.
Edit: I made a new rom slot, restored the backup to it, and installed xposed. Thank you for your answer. On my second GS4A, did not want to come close to having to restore this one after my last mishap.
