[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KevinNash:
Hello all,

you're like me and love to try severals Diamond ROMs on this forum ?

You're tired of re-instal every apps, wifi and other settings after ROM upgrade, me too !

I wasn't a SPB backup user, I used Sprite backup.

A few days ago, I read on a french forum ( :D before I forget, THANKS Bepe to make fabulous french ROMs ! ) about some new modes in SPB backup 2 software :

ROM and Device Upgrade Modes !!!

What ? Is it possible ?

So last night I try it, I have done a full backup of the official HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05 ROM with all my favorites ( S2U2, TF3D config, Second Today, Ringo, Resco explorer and registry, Schaps advanced config, batti ) and many others ) apps and settings.

Just after flash to 0.98 french Bepe ROM, I restore the auto exe backup and....

Dream come true !

ALL ( and really all ) my apps and settings are back on this new ROM, the only thing you have to do is to re-organise the windows start menu as you want ( this is the only setting who has not be restored for me ).

I don't have another HTC so I can't try the " device upgrade mode " who sounds very interesting too.

If you install on the PC, you can also browse a backup to take every file you want in it, very useful !

I don't know how they do that but they did it !

Infos and download : http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en

P.S : Excuse me for my english " learn by myself by reading english forums " you know, I'm french and french people speak.... french lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] geistteufel:
Great ! Seems to be interesting !

Over way to do (more tricky) is to create the famous SDConfig.txt, add all programs you want to install (and try to find any exe programs in cab ... snif), and create a registry cab too

So when you install your new rom, it will install the software (be carefull of not installing already include cab)

I think I will try this cause I'm really tired of spending lot's of time to set back my conf...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KevinNash:
Hello " compatriote ",

I like your blog, add it to my favorites.

Making a registry cab seems to be hazardous and dangerous for the phone, there is huge registry differences between ROMs.

And SPBbackup 2 doesn't just restore your apps, but all your settings too.

For exemple Wifi wep key, bluetooth pairing, second today plugins, all are working after the first boot, so you can flash a ROM and restore everything in 15 minutes.

With official ROM, I have 17 Mos free storage, now with Bepe 0.98, 62 Mos, waouh !!!

Mixed feelings with the backup/restore

Hi 2 all!

I took a look at the program.

I have mixed feelings with the restore.

The program also backups the registry. When I use an other rom and restore the datas the registry entrys will also be restored..

I don't know if this is the goal.

What do other users think?

br,

Chris
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xirederf:
Looks very interesting if the registry backup is not an issue on different roms (i think that it shouldn't be a real problem if you "just" upgrade the version of a rom)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] amir77a:
Sprite backup also has upgrade mode, which I heard is not so good, and caused lots of problems.

SDconfig.txt is part of the UC compliant, which is working - as far as I know - only o Bepe's ROMs. Other Diamond ROMs does not support it. Am I wrong?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KukurikU:
beware!

1.you had ROM X---made a backup including system files and registry for ROM X and it includes also some clutter and unwanted files that you accumulated after installing and uninstalling progs and so on...you know what i mean..

2.you are flashing ROM Y----it has a better, improved system files, new registry witch is cleaner, more compact, tweaks all the works to make it better than the old one, ROM X

3. you are restoring the ROM x backup over the ROM Y !!!!

it might work but practically you went back from ROM Y to ROM X.

in my humble opinion backup-restore system function should be used only to restore on the same ROM. for example you installed a bad app and you have to hardreset. use yr backup and yr are set in under 10 minutes!:)

using backup from one ROM on an another ROM? don't think it is a good idea!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KevinNash:
I don't know how it works but ROM Y don't become ROM X, as I said before, with HTC official ROM, I have 17 Mos free storage, now with Bepe 0.98, 62 Mos free, with all my apps. And the overall speed of the bepe ROM is present, fastest than the original one.

I don't think to use this solution for my " final " ROM and ultimate Diamond installation, I prefer start from scratch, but waiting for the ROM I'll keep in my phone forever ( perhaps Bepe 1.0 ), with SPB backup solution I can try severals ROMs and have my complete Diamond in few minutes with no bugs.

Many users don't want to flash and beta-test because of this and wait for the others opinions, with this solution, everyone can try and feedback more quickly. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KukurikU:
that's the best way to do it. don't bring the "dirt" from the old home to the new one:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
I also like to start from scratch... installing my personal data after.

as Punch said to Judy "that's the way to do it"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] htckaiseruser:
I used spb backup2 for a while now and flashed a couple of roms with it, but i noticed that it doesnt change the registry of the new rom back to old backup one. at least not everything. i noticed that with my weathersetting that i did with WDE. also other reg hacks i did to the old rom wherent present in the new rom. so this programs good for me. only must look out that you dont install double cabs when the programs in your backup ar already in your new rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uniqueboy:
So are you changing any of the options, for example "overwrite existing files"?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] geistteufel:
Thanks bro !

I update it everyday actually, HTC is hotfully moving actually, so post lot's of acticle (tuto) and test. Improving readability ...

See ya
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jorlin:
So, I wonder if your PPC was recognized by Active Sync as the old one...

I always have the problem that after installing a backup, active sync creates a horrible mess with double entries in outlook... :(

BTW: does anyone know a good (free) program for your desktop pc to delete double entries in Outlook (2007)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] htckaiseruser:
I didnt made any changes to the options

I wanted to add netflix in game genie so that I can take advantage of the bypass charging the new update is offering.

I was able to add mx player and vlc player. I can't understand why neflix isn't in the app list.

Is is true for your device?
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] ryu091:
You need to Uninstall the Netflix and Reinstall it in playstore to display in GameGenie.

Reason: bcoz you are using the Netflix app that was included by the firmware when you buy or update the phone so it see's as a System App not User App.

[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] davisdlrch:
Does anyone know of an app or root utility that could be used to enable the 5ghz hotspot band? Typically, one should be able to select the 2.4ghz or 5ghz band in the hotspot configuration section of the settings app. However, for whatever reason, Sony has removed that option. It's very weird because any modern phone can support both of those bands. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

MIUI 12 enhanced the previously-introduced casting feature, making it a more handy tool for presenters. Saving the trouble of tangled cables, you can now cast anything on a bigger screen. Why is it a “universal” tool? Let's take a detailed look here.

Steps To Use Casting Tool:

1. Open "Settings" and then tap on "Connection & sharing".

2. Now tap on "Cast" and enable the "cast button" [Note: Connect both your Phone and PC, etc to the same Wi-Fi].

3. It will start to search for available devices, Tap on the available device to cast.

Feature of Casting Tool:

1. With one tap, you can hide private items whenever you want.

2. You can do other work during casting.

3. You can cast with your phone's screen off.

All in all, this amazing feature allows you to hide private items while casting, minimize a window when you’re multitasking on the go, and cast with screen off, which will decrease power consumption.
[MIUI Central] Wirote Damdee:

[MIUI Central] AeiT:
Would be cool feature but it's not working at all. MIUI 12 is piece of garbarage and bug fiesta. Better to flash anything and forget it

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] GlenH:
As I mentioned in a previous thread a week or two ago, the Canadian market was due a release of the Touch dual which allegedly has GPS enabled (Neon 400?):

http://gpsobsessed.com/mobile-gps/canadians-get-htc-touch-dual-via-bell-mobility-gps-enabled/

This apparently has been available since last week, so does anyone have one? Is the GPS confirmed?

I haven't heard anything about this touch dual version on these forums, but presumably there is a chance that the radio (or parts of it) may be ported to other Touch dual versions to enable GPS, or does this new version have extra hardware?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Judge584:
From what i have seen on this forum, the touch dual has a gps in it, but do not have a gps antenna... so I think canadian touch dual are new unit with new hardware wich mean we can't expect to enable gps on other touch dual phones.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] the_fish:
yes... i too guess it has a special antenna built inside. But MAYBE previous neons ALREADY HAD this antenna? AFAIK the Dual that was disassembled in the Wifi thread has been a different one...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] bond7734:
Yah

Hey,

I have one of those duals' from Telus it does infact have gps on it. Only problem is no roms avalible anywhere.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] tonwon420:
I can confirm 100% that GPS works on the Canadian Neon400 Touch Dual with Telus. Just follow the instructions here that were originally written for the HTC Touch:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=31437

Do not download the rom. Start at the "QPST GPSOne Settings" section.

I'm now rocking TomTom 7 using AstroGPSLauncher, and it works. Locks take longer than my old Touch, but at least it works... with the stock Telus rom.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] deepthroat:
I once read somewhere that there is a program that can extract the ROM into a microSD card, utilising 2577 folder for self-executing when inserted. I'll come back with a link if I can find it again.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 88fingerslukee:
Somebody needs to find this so we can extract the SPL from the Neon400. You would have to compare the SPL to the other Neons and figure out what's different and why we aren't able to unlock it yet. Hope you can find it.

EDIT: It appears you cannot extract the SPL from the device, you have to extract it from a shipped ROM. I do not believe there have been any updates made available for either the Bell or Telus Neon400s. Are there any other providers of this phone that might have released an update that would provide an SPL?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] capncark:
I have a bell mobility neon 400 and tried with qpst but there is no gps tab at all. I was sure to scroll all the way to the right I am running official rom and it has gpsnav software installed. Am I missing something? Could the Telus model have the antenna and the Bell model not? I cannot get a lock in any gps software garmin mxt, igo 8, even the stock gps software wont lock on any sats:confused:

Hi everyone,

Just had my fold 2 delivered at 7.30am this morning.

Opened it up and dissatisfied with the screen protector. As you can see from the photos it doesn't go across the whole screen, is this normal?

Also they say get Samsung to take it off, why? My fingernail goes straight under it.

Surely this has been fitted incorrectly?

Anyone had this?

Edit, how do you add photos? Mine is on my phone and not an online link.

Nope, no sign of the add atachments, maybe because its a new account.

Hi There,

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but recently T-Mobile UK reception has become really poor, but on the plus side it looks like HSDPA has been rolled out.

So I've been trying a few different Radios trying to pick up the reception but making the most out of the new HSDPA.

I've tried 1.64.08.21 and 1.65.20.29 both of which get me around an average of 2 bars in Leeds. which is a bit poor, since I'll drop a bar or two which roaming, which means a loss of signal.

GPS is about the same.

What Radios do other T-Mobile'ers in the UK use?, how are you getting on?

Thanks in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Dredwerker:
I am using 1.65.24.36 and I am getting full reception in Brighton. I have got HSDPA as well.

This is the radio in l26 v10 rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GhotiGhongers:
I use 1.58.25.17 from the NEON (it works with any ROM which supports 1.65.* radios) and it works very well for me (Hertfordshire).

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sideburnt:
eat my balls, I have searched, and there's nothing on T-Mobile specific for the UK, only Germany, and the advice goes back to '06.

If you'd searched before you posted you'd know that.

Thanks for all the responses, I've not tried 1.58.25.17 yet, might be worth a backtrack to see how I get on. I used to live the Dutty Rom's, his dual V2 was excellent.

Hello Guys

After releasing the GPU update from Xiaomi on it's own store on china ROM, i decided to use it on my EU ROM and test the result by my own!

Here are the result that shows the performance of GPU has been increased!

Before:

[IMG="Before Update"]http://uupload.ir/files/qvnh_screenshot_2020-09-22-20-44-33-548_com.antutu.abenchmark.jpg[/IMG]

After Upgrade:

[IMG="After Upgrade"]http://uupload.ir/files/vn9m_screenshot_2020-09-22-20-55-32-788_com.antutu.abenchmark.jpg[/IMG]

So first get a benchmark before upgrading the driver and take an screenshot!

So for those who want to update:

Download this file and move it to your phone:

http://uupload.ir/view/4q48_com.xiaomi.ugd.apk/

Download SAI from playstore, go to setting/Installer and choose rooted

Then from the main screen choose install file and select the apk file and after successful installation Reboot Phone!

That's it! Don't look for any icon because the file is the upgrade itself!

Now get a new benchmark and take an screen shot!

So share both of them here for everyone to see the result!
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Not really worth the effort for those marginal gains. No difference in real world performance
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] head_djmusic:
Well it is obvious that has effect, good effect because it's an update for gaming:

The update brings optimizations to several games including PUBG Mobile, Fortnite, and Honkai Impact 3rd!!

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
It may have a marginal improvement on the hardware performance but extremely unlikely you'll see any difference in real life performance. The 650 was already very good
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] head_djmusic:
Well, test and send report!

Terracotta Vulkan +169

Coastline Vulkan +1413

OpenGL3.1 +487

Is it Marginal?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
T Vulcan 54208 with a 169 increase is a 0.3% increase

C Vulcan 81584 with a 1413 increase is a 1.7% increase

Open GL 82180 with a 487 increase is a 0.6% increase

It's marginal and not worth manually updating for
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] head_djmusic:
It's your choice not to implement that! One thing is obvious and that's the time the developers expend to make this and they're realize better than both of us and making such an upgrade will have effect!

So, getting that improvement with simple steps, worth it!
