Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

CHANGELOG for 2.6.3.0:
-Proper backup and restore of SELinux contexts (thanks to Tassadar)
-Pull in some ROM information for backup name generation
-Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3
-Add 1200x1920 theme (thanks to Tassadar)
-A few other fixes and tweaks

CHANGELOG for 2.6.1.0:
-Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)
-Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
-Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
-Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
-Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
-Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
-Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
-Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks

CHANGELOG for 2.6.0.0:
Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, you will likely need to remove that theme before updating to 2.6.0.0 as your custom theme will likely not have some of the new changes visible (e.g. you won't be able to encrypt a backup)!
-Can encrypt a backup to prevent theft of private data from your backup files
-Updated graphics / icon courtesy of shift
-Updated exFAT to latest commits
-Fixed a problem with Samsung TouchWiz decryption
-Update SuperSU binary
-Fixed saving of backup partitions list
-Fixed saving of last used zip install folder
-Fixed backup of datadata on devices that use a separate partition for datadata
-Fixed some issues with the advanced wipe list (android_secure, can now wipe internal storage on data/media deivces and wipe data on the advanced list no longer formats the entire data partition)
-Fixed some problems with partitioning a SD card
-Various other bug fixes and tweaks

Notes about encrypted backups:
Why encrypt your backups? -- Most people store their backups on the device. Any app that has permission to access storage could potentially read your backup files and try to harvest your data. Encrypted backups also provide an added layer of security if you move your backups to other storage devices or to the cloud. The encryption that we're using is probably not strong enough for enterprise level security, but should be strong enough to make it significantly difficult to get to your data.

Encryption is using OpenAES which uses AES 128-bit cbc encryption. If you happen to use a longer password (over 16 characters) then the encryption strength improves to 192 or 256 bits. Do not forget your password. If you forget your password you will be unable to restore your backup. We don't encrypt the entire backup. Encryption is very CPU intensive and can be fairly slow even when we spread the workload over multiple cores even on the latest high-end devices. To ensure that encrypted backups don't take forever, we don't encrypt any other partitions besides /data and in /data we don't encrypt /data/app (or other app related directories where apks are stored) and we don't encrypt dalvik cache.

DOWNLOAD:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery

If you have fulfilled all the requirements above, then proceed to the actual tutorial.

How to Install ClockworkMod Custom Recovery on HTC One:

Important: Make sure ADB and Fastboot is configured on your PC. If not, go to the following link and Configure ADB and Fastboot first: How to Set Up ADB and Fastboot with Android SDK.

Step 1 – Connect HTC One to your PC with a USB cable and install ADB drivers.

Step 2 – Download ClockworkMod (CWM_Touch_Recovery_6.0.2.8_M7.img) and copy/paste it in the android-sdk-windowsplatform-toolsdirectory.

Step 3 – Go to Fastboot/Bootloader mode now. To do so, Navigate to android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory and open Command Prompt (Shift + Right-click > Open Command Prompt).

Step 4 – Type in the following command and press Enter.

Step 5 – HTC One will switch OFF and then boot into the Fastboot Mode. Once the drivers are installed, proceed below.

NOTE: Alternatively, you can also enter Fastboot Mode by switching OFF your phone first. Then turn it ON by holding Volume Down + Power buttons together.

Step 6 – Then type the following command and press Enter.

fastboot flash recovery CWM_Touch_Recovery_6.0.2.8_M7.img

Step 7 – Once completed, choose RECOVERY from the Fastboot menu and enter Recovery Mode. Navigate up and down using the volume keys.

Step 8 – If you see Clockwork Touch Recovery, then everything so far has been successfully performed and custom recovery is installed.

Step 9 – Since everything is going on well, you can go back to your normal phone by rebooting HTC One. Select “reboot system now” from the recovery menu. The phone will boot now.

That’s it. Your HTC One has now been updated with a custom recovery like ClockworkMod Recovery and is fully working on your phone.

If you want to access the Recovery Mode, then Turn OFF your phone. Switch ON your phone again by holding Volume Up + Power buttons together and you will be taken directly to the ClockworkMod Touch Recovery menu.

Note: Works on both froyo & GB

Source:Androinica How to Install Apps to the SD Card by Default on Android 2.2 Froyo (not for Ace)

You can find the latest version of this tutorial here. Though I will try to keep updating this thread too.

Getting Ready:
1. First you have to enable USB debugging on your Android device from Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.
2. You need to download and install the latest Android SDK on your computer fromhttp://developer.android.com/sdk/.
3. Install the latest java SDk if you don't already have one.

Tutorial:
1. Extract the package to the folder of your choice [Let's say- C:/android-sdk-windows/], run SDK Manager.exe

2. Close the command / windows command prompt window that opens.

3. In the new window, click on Available Packages to the left. Untick all options you are prompted to download except the USB driver option & Android sdk tools revisionx(13 as of now) & Android sdk platform-tools revision x(7 as of now) if they are there.
(Note-If you get an error message at this point, enable “Force https://…” in the Settings. From the list of available packages, select “Usb Driver package”, click on the Install Selected button in the bottom right corner and follow the prompts. )

4. Do not open Samsung Kies. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB-cable. Your OS will prompt you to install new drivers. Choose to install them from the android-sdk-windows/extras/google/usb_driverfolder. Do not mount your device; you only need to plug-in the cable.
(If you don't see this prompt, It means USB drivers are already installed or else install them manually: SAMSUNG USB drivers from samfirmware.com)

5. Run command prompt in administrator.
Type in the following after the ">" at each step (without quotations,and including spaces and capital letters) 

"cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" 
"adb devices"
"adb shell"
A $ sign should pop up
"pm setInstallLocation 2" 
Another $ should pop up

And your done. Close everything, disconnect phone, turn off phone and then turn it back on again

Note:Now the phone will be set to install all apps you install onto the SD card. However, current apps on phone will mostly still be stored on the internal memory. This process doesn't move these apps for you, it adds the ability. So you must now manually move those already installed on the phone. Install some apps like app2sd etc.

It’s preferable to install certain apps to the main memory, since it will take a while before the SD card becomes available when you start your phone. Applications installed on the memory card will also be unavailable to the system each time you mount your phone as a disk drive. 

In general, apps that integrate with the Android OS and that often run in the background is better to install on the internal storage, while games and most other applications will have no problem chilling outside on your SD.

Widgets should essentially be installed on phone memory.

Update:
From what I have come to understand (correct me if I am wrong), Each app will store some .odex files on phone memory to speed up the boot process. 
So don't complain that phone memory is getting lesser after each install. Though if you could've installed 40 apps before now maybe 150+ and still have 30-40 mb left. (depends on what kind of apps you install).

Darktremor's a2sd scripts deodex the apps and COMPLETELY move the apps and cache to sd card but you will need to root and run the scripts.
How to install Darktremor's a2sd on Froyo!!
Though an easier way will be to install a custom rom.

 Before WhatsApp, I cannot think of any app which have served so many mobile users across the planet who could text and send files to each other with so much of ease. and WhatsApp is available for Android, iOS and Windows Mobile platforms and allows you to stay in touch with almost all your friends without paying anything to your service provider.But what if you accidently deleted whatsapp chat and data .!!

I am sure that most of the WhatsApp users are not aware of the fact that this messaging service takes backup of all the shared stuff every 24 hours and it keeps the backup files intact for last 7 days. Yes, it’s true. And there are methods through which you can restore deleted whatsapp chat and data

So, below are two ways to recover deleted Whatsapp chat and data.

Method 1-Online Tool

you can simply do that with a new online tool called RecoverMessages. This service lets you easily recover deleted WhatsApp chat or pictures deleted from your iPhone or Android phone and serves as a forensic tool.

This app stores its backup files by the name, msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt

1.To recover your deleted WhatsApp chat from iPhone or Android using RecoverMessages, first you need to copy the WhatsApp database file (.sqlite or .db.crypt) from your device to your PC.

To copy the WhatsApp database file (.sqlite or .db.crypt),

On Android device, go to /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/msgstore.db.crypt and copy the file to your PC.

On iOS, go to net.whatsapp.WhatsApp/Documents/ChatStorage.sqlite (You can use an iPhone backup tools like i-Twin or iPhone Backup Extractor to get the .sqlite file).
2.Then, go to the RecoverMessages home page, select the file by clicking the “Select File SQLite”. Accept the terms of use and press the scan button.

Method 2-Whatsapp Xtract

Here is a little Tool to display whatsapp chats on your computer, using the database files from your androidinstallation of whatsapp.

This Is How this Tool Works :-

1.You need to copy the whatsapp database. 

On Android, either get this file:

/sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/msgstore.db.crypt

1. (crypted database on SD card, can be created by starting backup from whatsapp advanced settings: settings – more – Backup Chats)or these files:
2. /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db and wa.db(for this you need root access. detailed instructions in the bottom of this file. the advantage is that the corresponding contact names of phone numbers will be displayed.)

On IPhone, get this file:

/net.whatsapp.WhatsApp/Documents/ChatStorage.sqlite

(You can use an Iphone Backup Tool to get the file, e.g. I-Twin or Iphone Backup Extractor. Make sure to create an unencrypted backup with Itunes, as these tools can’t handle encrypted backups. Another possibility are forensic tools like UFED Physical Analyzer.)

2.Now Download the Whatsapp_Xtract and Extract this archive (Whatsapp_Xtract....zip) to a certain folder on your computer, e.g. C:\WhatsApp.

3.Copy the database(s) to e.g. C:\WhatsApp (on Android, you simply copy the whole folder WhatsApp on SD card to your computer e.g. to C:\WhatsApp and then copy the database file from C:\WhatsApp\Databases to C:\WhatsApp)

4.You need Python and (for Android msgstore.db.crypt decryption) the PyCrypto library

The easiest way is to install ActivePython 

!! on Windows choose 32bit/x86 version even if you have 64bit windows (if not you will get an “requires Business Edition subscription” error!):

http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads

It’s available for Windows, Linux and Mac

5. Then run !install pyCrypto.bat (contained in this archive. The best is to rightclick on it and choose "run as administrator"

Ifyou have troubles installing pyCrypto this way, then please try to install it using an installation package from this site http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/m…shtml#pycrypto

6.Now run whatsapp_xtract_android.bat or whatsapp_xtract_android_crypted.bat or whatsapp_xtract_iphone.bat and done. Now You see,delete Your whatsapp chat

Method 3- WhatsApp’s own Solution

WhatsApp itself provide a solution to recover your accidentally deleted whatsapp chat.All you need to do is uninstall the app and install it back. This would actually use all the backup files, and restore whatever it can.

And If You want  Your Whatsapp video And Images Just go to sdcard/whatsapp/media 
there You will Find diffrent folders for audio,video,and images which contain all the images ,video,audio u sent or received on whatsapp
