Now, double-tap pim.vol:

You’ll be taken to its internal database list:

Unfortunately, you can, NOT empty them:

Deletion gets rid of it completely as can also be seen in THIS screenshot.

Note that you don’t need to check in the "Show system databases" checkbox in Tools / Options.

1.3 Mass-deleting PIM info on the desktop

You can also delete your PIM data on the desktop – if you do synchronize your PIM stuff to your, say, Outlook on your desktop, you can easily mass delete your stuff in there. Fortunately, Outlook allows for mass PIM deletion – also including appointments.

After you delete your useless PIM info on the desktop, the next ActiveSync / (on Windows Vista,) Mobile Device Center synchronization will make sure these records will also be deleted on your handset.

2. Mass deletion capabilities of third-party PIM applications

Several Windows Mobile users use third-party PIM applications like Pocket Informant / Agenda Fusion on the Pocket PC and Pocket Informant / Agenda One / Papyrus on the MS Smartphone, let’s take a look at how these apps handle mass deletion. Note that you will NOT want to use these, in most cases, pretty bloated (albeit VERY useful and capable) apps if you "only" want to delete your PIM stuff – SKTools or, even better, PIM Backup is far better suited for "simple" PIM data cleanup.

2.1 Pocket PC

2.1.1 Pocket Informant 8.02

Contacts (and tasks - but, again, you can do the same in the default Tasks application of Windows Mobile Pocket PC!) can be easily mass-deleted after selecting them all (or a block of them) with the stylus:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
While, in the default calendar view, it can’t delete more than one appointment at a time, you can easily do this in the powerful Search View. (Also see page 54 (Search View (SV)) in the PDF manual HERE). It’s really powerful and customizable; note that you can search for an empty string (or, an asterisk (*)) if you want to list everything:

Note that the above screenshot shows all kinds of PIM data, not only Calendar. Should you want to stick to Calendar data only, make sure you untick the Tasks etc. icons in the upper toolbar before (re-)running the wildcard search; then, only the Calendar items will be listed, ready for mass-selection with the stylus (or, if you want to quickly select everything, Ctl-A on the on-screen keyboard):

2.1.2 Agenda Fusion 8.60

In Agenda Fusion, you can mass-select Contacts and delete them in one step:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
You can’t, however, do the same to appointments or tasks; they need to be deleted one-by-one:

(Of course, as the operating system supports mass-deleting Tasks, the latter isn't really a problem - always use the built-in Tasks in Windows Mobile to delete these tasks.)

2.2 MS Smartphone

Unfortunately, the situation (compared to that of the Pocket PC) is much worse with the MS Smartphone platform: the three leading PIM suites, Pocket Informant, Agenda One and Papyrus, don’t offer mass selection / deletion capabilities at all or don’t really support mass-selection using built-in dialpads / keyboards. The "Select All" hack of AEBPlus, explained in my previous, mail deletion article doesn’t work with any of them, either.

2.2.1 Pocket Informant 8.02

As with the PPC version, you’ll need to go to the Search View so that you can mass-select any kind of PIM info:

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way on my HTC Vox (s710) to highlight more than one element in the list when only using the built-in dialpad or the QWERTY thumbboard (again, Shift did not work as expected – this, however, doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t work with Motorola / Samsung Smartphones, though). However, with an external keyboard (tested with Pocket Controller; should also work with BT keyboards like the iGo StowAway one), it does work as can be seen in here:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
(in here, I’ve mass-selected four items)

Unfortunately, my (multiple – deleting both tasks and appointments) deletion attempts resulted in a crash:

I'm pretty sure the developer will fix the latter bug and adds mass selection capabilities using the numeric dialpad - together with, say, #, as is the case with Symbian S60 smart phones without a dedicated Pencil key.

2.2.2 Agenda One 8309

The (pretty extensive) Options doesn’t offer this either:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
(The situation is the same with the Tasks / Calendar view.)

Shift + cursor doesn’t work with external keyboards, unlike in Pocket Informant.

2.2.3 Papyrus 1.3.17

I didn’t find a way to mass-delete appointments or tasks (the app doesn’t handle contacts at all). You can only delete them one by one by selecting it and, then, selecting Delete. Shift + cursor mass selection doesn’t work (unlike in Pocket Informant) with an external keyboard either.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
UPDATE (later the same day): there’s another, brand new utility to clean up the PIM data on WM5+ devices, PocketOutlook Eraser. As of current, 1.1 version, it requires Compact Framework 2 (CF2) to run. CF2 is integrated into WM6 devices – but not into WM5 ones. You’ll find the CF2 installer CAB file HERE. Also note that, as opposed to the initial version, it already creates a link to the main executable.

Hi there

I updated today from CM13 which I've had installed for ages to Dirty Unicorn Rom v12 Angler. Files used;

SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip

This let me in but I hadn't installed GAPPS.

My lock pattern worked, then went to install GAPPS and when got in the pattern says it's wrong even though it isn't. It works in TWRP the lock pattern.

Tried another ROM and get the same problem, I don't ever remember setting a lock pattern other than the one I know is right.

Tried ADB to reset the GESTURES but this does not work.

Also nothing held in the DATA\SYSTEM folder on the device for me to delete.

I don't mind losing my data but can someone please help with what I need to do please?

Also tried a complete ROM install of Linage

Not sure if someone had posted about this but I found nowhere when I got the issue.

After I bricked my device I found a way to fix SD card from encryption by axon 7 as write protected. There's no guarantee this will work for you but I have tried this way to fix 2 of my 32 GB sandisk SDcard and it worked flawlessly but you need to format the data.

All you need is TWRP installed, put your sdcard into your phone, go to recovery, choose wipe, advanced wipe, choose microSD, change file system to exFat... After that you need to reboot to system.

Once you reboot, Axon 7 will find that you're sdcard is corrrupt and need to be fixed, don't do that from your device cause it will encrypt the sdcard again. Just put out the sdcard from phone, and insert it into your PC.

In some case, your pc will recognize the sdcard is corrupt, you just need to format it as usual. Your sdcard now is free to use.

Hope this will help. Thanks.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ausmomo:
Hey all,

I've just ordered a Le Max 2 from some mob in China. When it arrives in 2021 I hope to install a clean Oreo rom.

The problem is I'm new to all this jazz. I can follow a walkthrough successfully, and without killing the cat etc, but I don't know which walkthrough/guide to follow!

Is there a stock Oreo rom for the Le Max 2? Is 'stock' the right word here? I mean from Android/Google.

If not, is the Lineage rom ok?

I just want a clean phone, no crap installed, higher version of Android the better.

Also, I noticed a firmware page. Do I have to update my firmware first? Or after Rom installs?

thanks all
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Jabbzz:
Hey. Welcome to the group.

There's no stock ROM for Oreo. We only have EUI 5.8/5.9 (Marshmallow). Lineage is okay, but as of now Oreo custom ROMs have bugs. One is low mic volume in calls, another is that you can't use Slow Motion Mode in modded GCam. In a new Oreo Custom ROM (Dirty Unicorn) it has GPS and Fingerprint bug, not sure about low mic volume but the Slow Motion Mode bug is still there (because of OSS HALs)

I suggest you flash Nougat if you want minimal bugs.

I think Marshmallow custom ROMs have no bugs at all (someone confirm) but the security patch is old.

You don't have to be on latest stock ROM, just flash the latest TWRP and start flashing ROMs.

Good luck!
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] lukas.trop:
Use google my friend :D flashing roms and learning about adb and fastboot is quite fun (well for me it is :D). It's quite straight forward, you just need to have the proper software and drivers.

Lineage rom is good, it's updated quite frequently and most of the time has minimal bugs. go with nougat as my colleague suggested. Also i think it's ok to stay with just stock firmware :) Eui is quite nice i guys.

Just remember to backup everything and save it in a safe place before trying something for the first time :) If you are afraid of doing something and want a quick answer you can PM me, i will try to answer asap :)
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] giaur:
What I can say from my personal experience. First, stock EUi is a crap. Also, abandoned, since LeEco company does not exist anymore. Second, 7.1 or 8.1? I would recommend Lineage 15.1 (Oreo 8.1). It's most stable for me. I found any other rom based on Lineage more buggy than stock Lineage 14.1 is stable too, but why to choose older Android?

Install procedure is pretty easy. You need to unlock bootloader, flash twrp, then flash rom + gapps, that's all.

BTW as you can see, there may be many opinions. But it's not risky to test various custom roms and choose the one that is the best for you. Don't hestitate to try many roms, it's not a pain at all. Actually, it's a fun.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
Nothing different on Note 8, should work fine. Have you tried another cable? Cheap cables are usually the main culprit & the stock Samsung cables IMO are not quality cables.

Also it's not uncommon for aftermarket chargers to have the QC circuitry fail. I've have 2 Tronsmart chargers fail, one a car charger, the other AC. Still charges but not fast charge. I usually trust & have good experience with Anker stuff but I have had an Anker power bank fail for fast charge. But on that power bank it was a defect, it failed right away as where the Tronsmart charger I had failed after 6 months or so. Most of my cables are Anker & I haven't had any issues with any of the Anker cables I've had since fast harging came out.

I thought that fast charging was made by the phone comunicating with the charger an asking it to switch from 2A at 5v to 1.67 A at 9 volts, fast charging being a two part process, the device able to accept it, and a charger able to switch amperage and voltage, in samsung devices normal charge is made at 10W, (2A x 5V) and fast charge at 15W (1.67A x 9V), but, again, the charger must be able to switch this parameters
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] AnonyIsRight:
Hi, I need help

I have tried to install so many ROM's in my MI A1, I have tried Lineage, AOKP Extended, RR, Pixel Experience, Stock via MiFlash and others.

The matter is, simply I can't use my phone, I think it's because when i had the stock rom, i had magisk, and i didn't uninstalled it ( modules and magisk).

At the beggining everytime i tried to flash, TWRP always threw me errors like " E:recv error on uevent" "Unable to mount /system (invalid argument)" "Unable to mount /system ( Permission denied)" "Unable to mount /data"

Solved it using an update of twrp recovery of MohanCM

-Now the thing is that, even if I flash stock versions via MiFlash, it boots to system but reboot again, like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YcWsWYQVGQ

- And If i try a custom ROM, anyone, It can't go through boot animation.

I want my Mi A1 back, please help me :(

I hope to you to answer me as soon as you can, i tried my best to write this the most understandable possible.

P.D: I tried with the tutorial where that video came from, it didn't worked.

And tried with stock images from

- 2018.01.10

-2018.02.26

- And the latest on MIUI forums

All the packages says "tissot_images", maybe i am missing firmware or something?

I just got the new XBOX one controller which specifies bluetooth on the box. The Axon 7 sees it and it works properly on stock Oreo.

Google about it and see there is an obvious cosmetic difference between the controllers so you can tell which are the right ones.

If we had official Android 10 I would try a Nintendo Switch controller as 10 got native support for that. They're $20 cheaper.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loidor:
So here's one I can't explain.

My wife's phone's been having issues with some apps lately, so I flashed Lineage 14.1 yesterday. And immediately, the signal started to flicker. It's full and perfectly fine for ten seconds or so, then it goes down for a couple of seconds, and repeat. It ran the same rom before as well, though a lot older.

I've tried different rooms from different generations, same.

I've flashed every modem back to 20A. Still same.

I've taken it apart and cleaned the antenna contacts with isopropane alkohol. Same.

Spontaneously I'd say it's heat related, but then why would it appear after a flash, and stay like that even when it's not hot?

The only thing I can come up with right now is to install windows on a computer and flash it back to stock, and start again from there. That seems kind of bothersome though.

Ideas?
