Is there any way to do a restore without the need for a pc,

using my device installing apps

one bricks my phone,

luckly i had nanadroid backup and did a backup how ever long before installing the apps.

(most post are stating that you need to use the adb and pc sdk to load this backup.)

is there a way to do this on the phone?
[G1 Apps and Games] TheDudeOfLife:
I'm hoping for one day we get a nandroid restore on the phone. The big challenge is the uniqueness the nandroid backup folder names. There is no real easy way to say 'go here and use this backup'

You can't do it in the shell because the recovery console still has full control of the /sdcard mount right?
[G1 Apps and Games] axion68:
That would be slick to be able restore a backup without using a pc. I've had a few occasions when I wanted to install a new theme or try something out when I'm not a home, but don't because I don't want to go without a phone if it fails.
[G1 Apps and Games] shaneaus:
That is me almost ALL of the time!
[G1 Apps and Games] Ooglez:
Actually, the recovery console doesn't have "control of" your phone, I know I've been able to push update.zips to my phone in the recovery console using ADB, so I would assume you could also rename a "themename.zip" file to update.zip in a similar fashion, then flash it. (You have to type "mount /sdcard" in the console to get it to mount)
[G1 Apps and Games] Brutal-Force:
I have had to do this before but its tedious for a non-linux user.

If you know the bash commands you can actually use the shell and go to the folder on your sd card. You move it to the root location and rename it to update.zip. For those familiar with dos and windows, its doing a copy and paste, then rename the file.

I used this page for reference. http://www.ss64.com/bash/

There is also a commands built into the shell itself.

To get a list of busybox commands just type 'busybox'

If it flies off the top of the screen, type 'busybox | more'

That will get you started if your familiar with using shell.

I have found though that the easiest way to restore your phone is to get a second 1gig SD if you havent already upgraded to an 8 or 16 gig. Put your most recent update.zip on it. If you mess up, just pop your SD card out put your "back-up" card in and restore it.

EDIT: I found it at last, but it works only with start menu entries and also very likely to be incompatible with WM 6.1... I suspect i need to directly edit registry, i am familiar with registry edits, but exploring whole registry entry by entry would take too long, i am even unsure if i should search in HKCR or in HKLM... i am looking for someone more experienced who know where to look :)

or, the last thing that might help, to find a way how to edit icons directly in \windows\shell32.dll, but WM seems to be eager to protect system DLLs such as this one from my passion to modify, modify and ... wait for it... MODIFY :D

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ladynaamah:
there is no such key in WM 6.1... at least not in my phone... :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] me:
It is interesting.

There seems to be two completely different ways of changing and assigning icons to shortcuts, at least in WM 6.5. These apps each only seem to deal with one of the ways, it might be nice if they could do both.

The way SK Tools Shortcut Manager works (which could also be done manually) is by adding to the end of the program .lnk file in the Start Menu, starting with a question mark, then the name of the .dll file the desired icon is in, and the number of the icon.

CSMI and JWMD Icon Changer (I like CSMI a little better, but they have the same result), don't deal with DLLs at all. You have to have .png or .jpg individual icon files, many of which you can download in collections here on XDA. These icons are not specified in the shortcut itself, but in the registry.

Could someone explain--why are there these two totally different ways of assigning icons to program shortcuts? For what purposes might one be better than the other?

If any of the developers of the icon changer apps are reading, why not include both methods in your program?

----------

I have another question about icons for .lnk files. Usually, when one creates a .lnk file to a particular document, the icon that displays for that .lnk is the one for the default program that opens that type of document. That makes sense, and that has usually been my experience.

However, I created a .lnk shortcut to a particular Microsoft Reader document, a .lit file. I thought the icon displayed for this shortcut, would be the same as for Microsoft Reader. But instead, I got the blank Windows no-icon icon. Why?

Hello all,

This is my way of changing icons while sitting behind my Personal Computer ;

Then i took it to an old laptop USB 1 with XP and it worked like a charm.

Does your phone go into bootloader mode?

you must not flash the radio part or you will risk bricking the phone. just put the phone into bootloader mode (press the two keys between the answer and reject calls, the soft keys i mean :) and while holding them press reset button situated in the bottom of the phone. the phone will enter in bootloader mode.you will need to delete all the .nbf files in your folder that you showed us except the CEOS. run sable and press upgrade... that's it !

[Touch Pro CDMA] Deleted member 1527002:
I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a while, but it seems like I'm the only one who this is happening to. Since the DST change earlier this month, my Touch Pro won't stay on DST after a re-boot. After syncing it with my computer (I have all the DST updates and stuff from MS), it goes to DST. I've let it wait for the network to fix it, I have an active sync with Google's exchange server, but it only goes to DST after a physical sync with my computer.

The even weirder thing is, while both the clocks in the TouchFlo interface and the clock in the WM6.1 settings dialog display the wrong time (i.e. after a re-boot), PocketShield displays the CORRECT time on the lock screen. This is really odd, since I thought the time in PocketShield was based on the WM clock. The only other application I can think of that uses the clock is G-alarm... but other users have reported that their DST issues were not related to G-alarm.
[Touch Pro CDMA] arsmithsr:
there is an issue it has to do with your carrier not your phone I had the same issue. go into your setting for the clock and turn off the auto update on startup. That will fix your problem. it is probably just the tower near you having the issue. I had the same issue. I have found references to other types of phones having it to. Strange but true.
[Touch Pro CDMA] GTRoberts:
Are you running TF3D2? if you are, NEVER tap the clock in it - there is a DST bug in it.

ALWAYS use the "Settings / System / Clock & Alarms" program to adjust your time.

Always apply WMDST2008-1.CAB and WMDST2008-2.CAB files to your PHONE. A lot of Cooks seem to leave them out.

Always switch OFF the "Automatic change time zone and clock" option in Phone / Time Zones.
[Touch Pro CDMA] seanvree:
yeah, I'm having this same problem. However, mine changes to an hour forward about 30 mintues after I change it back, doesn't require a reboot of the device. I can't figure it out.
[Touch Pro CDMA] dthurman:
Mine is okay on the Today screen, but the clock icon is off an hour, must be a DST bug, though what is odd, my clock icon in the top bar is a old style hand clock and not actual time numbers, not sure when it changed, if it was an app I installed or some setting I screwed without realizing.

I will look into the suggestions above.

Thank you

[Touch Pro CDMA] TheDempster:
If you launch the phone dialer/Dialpad, Menu/Options/Services. Scroll through the services choices, and you will find and option for time synchronization. Make sure the settings for this is set to Time synchronize with the mobile network.

As long as the network is set to DST, so should the devices clock.

At least I know that this is the case with my TP on Sprint.

Hello all,

I notice when syncing and also using explorer to look at files on my Tilt that there are what looks like multiple folders with the same name, such as My docs, my pics and so on.

Can I delete them and somehow dorect the device and Active sync to all use the card for file storage?

Please post somewhere more relative to your subject matter.

Try it and see ! :)

Where else di you post this, I seem to remember helping someone with this same question not long ago ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] abovenbeyond:
I did not post this question before, and I looked around and saw nothing...

And Stylez... WTF dude or Dudett... I asked it here because it has everything to do with the ROM. You see after I flash the ROM I have several duplicate folders, some right in the mobile device root, then some in the My docs folder, and then some on the card when I put it in...

Sheesh my concern about just deleting them is 1) some are tagged as system files so I can't. 2) I don't want to delete one that say the camera is going to try to save to, and 3) Outlook/Exchange, where does it store its data on the device?? If it is on the main memory I would like to change it so it will be saved to the card.

I seem to recall years ago either JasJamming, or Custel, or Maybe it was Dutty had a ROM or maybe a CAB that forced all anything to be saved to the card.

So if the ROM is pointing say to one folder, and active sync to another, and the default OS uses a third, I thought maybe this could all be corrected in ROM cooking and so I asked it here...

Now then, with that said... instead of responding with a NON answer, either speak up with a answer or if you don't know... well pardon my frence but "Shut the F*** up!"

PS: To all you that will read this as me being rude and possibly hurting my ability to get an answer, well I am sorry. But I hate when all someone has to say is to bit*h about anything but an answer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stylez:
Your question has to do with active sync & documents :D

Chill ya beanz no need for a response like that, but please post in the correct sub forum "Software or General" up to you really :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] parleyp:
You can move the doc to the storage card. Use advanced config and set it there. This is controlled by active synch keys in the registry which you could have found in a few threads...i know because I wrote answers about how this is controlled in several threads and even made a cab for someone to use in my roms to move them back to main memory because Phoenix roms store my documents/pictures/camera/audio files on the storage card and for some reason the change made by advanced config was not taking in the registry. You should do more research about the structure and FYI unless you use a file manager other than the default one, you can't delete system files which is good because you shouldn't delet things unless you understand them.

You can download this from http://www.touchxperience.com/

Good luck and this really does belong in the general kaiser thread.

Also stylez is a great contributor here. So you probably should apologize and your response was off the chart rude here. I should NOT have answered this out of respect for my friend but felt like giving you an answer and a chance to apologize. The mods should NOT close this thread until that occurs.

Hi guys,

just an idea, I don't know if any of you devs even like the idea or if it's possible, but here it is:

One app for all messaging, i.e. SMS/MMS/e-mail. Outlook Mobile already provides this, but it is possible to view only SMS/MMS or e-mail but not all of them together in one (per contact) thread and the app looks plain ugly :D. What I am talking about is a one-click access to ALL received messages, with contact based threaded view, finger friendly with possibilty to write messages from inside this app. So far I was not able to find something like this, they are always only for SMS or maybe sometimes e-mail, but there is no unified solution as far as I know :(

An ideal solution would be something like Resco contact manager but with possibility to have all types of messages per contact in one thread and the possibility to compose messages from that app.

Anyways that's it

Post your opinions/wishes/ or solutions maybe :D
