Still learning about mort, so hopefully someone an step up to help. We would need to find a way to copy the registry entries for some of these things or somehow export and import. I know SASHIMI uses sktools, or used to at least to import export registry entries. I'll have a look at the script when I get some time off. Going to be busy for at least a few days with work, but this sounds interesting to me. I'd like to be able to hard reset or flash a ROM and have everything set up the way I want and everything restored. Although most of the registry tweaks I do in my build process, but the saved data really helps.

Lol, how to cheat at solitaire:

Not that I've ever done it before. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jmckeejr:
I was thinking we could also make it so you could select a level to start at by keeping individual file from each level progression. This might not be the best way, but it might be an option. Would have to have a copy of the userdata.dat from each level. ie: complete level 1, copy userdata, complete 2 copy userdata, etc. Anyone interested? not sure how big the app would become this way, but I think it would be nice to choose level to begin. Anyone interested in helping get all the files? I could write a script to copy the file, and maybe rename each one as userdata_1.dat, ....2.dat, etc. Or maybe someone could figure out how to edit the data file correctly. Looks like there is only this:

6>

inside of the dat file for level 16.

 ”¶ 

level 18. Seems random to me, but maybe someone can understand if there is something to understand.

Just a little trick that I use that might be helpful... SKTracker is priceless! So - for example - if you have a setting you would like to save, start up SKTracker and take a snapshot, then change the setting, then take another snapshot. Then compare the two in SKTracker. It will show you all the registry entries that changed.

Uploaded lates FlashBack version 0.5. See first post
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jmckeejr:
I want to make this into an actual program. Would any developer like to help? I am a total newb trying to learn VB or similar. Could someone share some sample code to :

-copy mutiple files(or make compressed backup in a centralized .zip)

-import/export registry

I know these sound like simple things, but as a newb it would be nice to see sample code :) I have figured out the UI part and navigating forms, but still dont know these basic commands :o

Thanks for any help or if a developer would like to help with an open source files/registry backup software :)

Hello, does that backup Manila's Facebook-Contacts link?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scarecrow420:
Gday - i have tried using FlashBack to backup the following items

Personal Data -> Rings and Alerts

Personal Data -> Wifi Networks

Software -> Resco Explorer

Manila -> Weather

All of them say they were succesful, but on restoring only the Manila weather worked - everything else did not restore. And when i look in the Phone Bakup folder on my storage card I have a Manila subfolder wih Manila.ini and Weather folder with a manila file in it (which is obviuosly the weather backup) and the only other folder is called RegKeys but it is completely empty. So evidently the Rings/Alerts, Reso Explorer and Wifi Networks are not creating any reg files or other files in the backup area

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teniente_dan:
amazing!!!! i'll cook it in my next rom compilation to give it a try!

thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Martinhdk:
Yeah gotta try this out. Awesome idea. But has DEV stopped?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scarecrow420:
Yeah seems to gave stopped... i never had a response to my queries in november (about 3 posts up). Most of the items i tried to backup with this script didnt actually seem to create any backup files and thus werent restored.

I just researched and discovered myself the various files and registry items that need to be backed up for the various things i wanted to maintain between flashes, and use SASHIMI to do it. It is brilliant and saved me hours of customising after a flash. I strongly reccomend to check out SASHIMI :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] guinnes.s:
1 What are the con and pro of installing the apps on the sd ??

2 Would the OS run faster because their cache and data are not on the internal memory?

3 Every time we flash a rom do we have to go Through the app to sd process again or it will stay?

4 Does the process must be done one by one applications?

hope you can answer my questions.

thank you

Hello from France,

Big respect for this fantastic forum!!

i spent a lot of night trying to understand english for try all your beautiful tips..

But always very interesting reading.

Big Up for all of you. (and sorry for my poor english..i will try to do my best)

I searched everywhere but didn't found solution.

(i saw few topics about that but never with a solution..strange for here)

I have a Topaze and free hand system in my car called "Blue&Me".

all fonctionnalities are ok except the reading sms option.

I know that HTc seems not compatible with this fonction but i can't believe that we can't find a solution.

A lot of old phones works fine so why not the Diamond 2.

I send an email to Htc but as often thez answered that their phones aren't made for that!!!!!

i know that you often received this kind of answer by builder...

i hope someone can help me...

Thanks by advance...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dharrison2009:
I have a cdma diamond.. I installed the up to date t3config or whatever... I download themes from forums.. In zip. I've tried saving the zip file in a file i made called "themes" to try an find it thru the path it wont give me the dropdown box choice. So i try and unzip it an save it in the "theme" file... Still nothing no drop down box.. What am i doing wrong??? I've got up to date software i mean do i unzip an find only certain files do i not unzip i mean damn what do i do???????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] supersanj:
themes will come in two formats

1. cab file - to install these properly, copy the cab file to your phone. disable touchflo by going to start-settings-today-items and untick touchflo. Then do a soft reset.

2. a .theme file (usually zipped). to install these, unzip it, place the .theme file on ur phone, open n install it with Diamond TF3D config.
[Touch HD General] mas6004mi:
Anyone having probs with the BT disconnecting and reconnecting all of a sudden in the car.... I tried in an Acura and BMW, same issues in both. My old phone-O2 works fine...!

i tried a HARD reset, started working fine for 3 days, but the prob has returned again....

Anyone know how I can fix this... plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Strangely, If I HARD RESET my device, it works flawlessly for abt 3-4 days, and then back to square 1 !!!!!!!

Any experts can chime in....:confused:
[Touch HD General] mcano:
This phone is just ****ing piece of ****. I have the same problem, turning WiFi off helped a little bit.

[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
I have an 05 BMW X5 and have not had any problems with the bluetooth connection. My older treo 750 did not work but my Touch HD and iphone work flawlessly. I get the complete phone book and have yet to lose a connection with the HD.
[Touch HD General] Kash:
I have 2007 3 series and it works most of the time ok. Occasionally it loses the bluetooth connection so I turn bluetooth off and then on on my HD then it works fine again.

I also have a 2004 1 series but it works less often in this, but still at least half the time. I guess it depends on the bluetooth software in the car, if it is compatible with the phone or not
[XPERIA X1 General] ahnikhil:
M in total confusion which one to buy

I liked d bigger screen of htc pro 2 and 5 row keypad over 4 rows of x1...

But I really really miss the 3.5 mm jack on touch pro2

I have heard there is a-gps lag inX1 ?? is it true??

Tp2 n X1 both are sexy... Awesome mobiles but x1s made of metal which is really cool..

Hardware specs are almost same except these two differences...

Which would you ppl prefer ?????
[XPERIA X1 General] DatDereX1:
I prefer dat dere X1
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Xperia I would suggest. But once the Touch Pro 3 comes out... for sure you have to get Touch Pro 3.

To me, Touch Pro 2 is nothing more than a variation, rather than a big improvement. Then again, I have never Touched a Pro 2.
[XPERIA X1 General] bronx:
two words for Ya: form factor. my previous pda was kaiser and before that I had hermes. I always thought that they are both quite small for pda, but then I took my friends xperia into my hands. boy, now that was a difference. not to mention metal housing, I finally don't look like I am holding a huge brick by my ear while on the phone. other specs are also ok, the only thing I miss is tv out, but I can live without it. ;)

to be completely fair, read a lot before choosing xperia. some are getting nasty cracks on plastic parts (replacable under warranty) and phone needs to be tweaked a bit to become a real rocket.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Most of the Xperia is plastic housing inside and out. The metal is mostly the battery cover and the thin area that surrounds the screen.
[XPERIA X1 General] DavidMc0:
I'd say try both. I've got an Xperia, and I'm going to get a Pro2 and see what suits me best.

The advantages I see for the TP2 are:

- Significantly bigger screen

- Probably much better keyboard

- Tilting screen (loved it on my kaiser!)

- Quality speakerphone & conference calls could be useful sometimes

Advantages of X1:

- Smaller size & weight

- D-pad and optical joystick

- 3.5mm headphone jack

- If you don't have one yet, it's much cheaper than TP2 if bought 2nd hand (£250 ish on ebay)

I'll give the TP2 a go then sell the one I don't want to keep, but I'd recommend you try both out and see what you like, as in terms of overall capabilities they'll do almost exacrtly the same things.
[XPERIA X1 General] Nocturnal310:
today morning when i get up and try to check my sms'es..the phone is off.

i try to press the button on top but it doesnt turn on.

i plug in charging cable..it powers...but the OS never loads..and as 'windows 6.1' green window comes..the phone goes off again.

this happened 3 times.

i also removed and re-inserted battery...but still the same.

what is the problem?
[XPERIA X1 General] buzz83:
It doesn't have enough charge.

Turn the phone off, charge it for a few hours (overnight preferably), then turn it back on.

If that doesn't work you might want to hard reset it (Hold left and right HW keys while turning the phone on then use the keyboard for the prompts).

This Thread deals with a very similar problem to the one you are experiancing.
[XPERIA X1 General] Nocturnal310:
thanks got it.

it is on now.

seems like the battery was totally dead.

is anyone else having same problem?

even chinese generic keyboards have a longer lifespan.
[XPERIA X1 General] hhhh3:
either too responsive or unresponsive...this is really a ****ty keyboard..
[XPERIA X1 General] andeelym:
I am facing the same problem too. But its soem keys that are "problematic" for me, namely, "c" "x" "," and sometimes, the backspace key does double when i only press it once.

Definitely will send in for warranty before its up end of the year.
[XPERIA X1 General] WhyBe:
My X1 keyboard definitely seems a lot more sluggish than when I bought it. But, I don't think it is a hardware problem, but rather something not right with the software. I even turned off auto-complete to no avail. If you are a quick typer, you can actually keep typing and the X1 will eventually catch up because it is buffering all the keystrokes.
[XPERIA X1 General] ARAN:
I asume too that this problem is releated to windows mobile.

In some Programms i have to wait till i see what i am writing.

In other programms i have double writing of the buttons that i press.

I asume that the Keyboard driver is maybe broken.

Windows Mobile too is not really stable.

If the Phone is more than tree days without any reboot it becomes heavy instable.

Paintings of the Windows and startup of Programms is heavy Slow.

Only a reboot resolves the Problems for a while.

What makes me also thinking is if windows mobile has some memory leaks.

The Memory usage growth with the time even if nothing is running.

[G1 Android Development] virtudude:
Do we know enough about the dependencies of Mail.apk to conclude that there is no way to get it installed on something like JF's 1.5 US image?

I've been playing around with it, and even with swapping out various shared libs and frameworks from Haykuro's Sapphire images I can't get past:

E/PackageManager( 793): Package com.htc.android.mail has no signatures that match those in shared user android.media; ignoring!

Does anyone know what signature this error is referring to? Is it in the reference to android.media in Mail.apk's AndroidManifest.xml?

Anyway, I thought it would be helpful to have one place to discuss this for those of us who'd like to see Mail.apk on 1.5 US. I'd love to know where other people have gotten on this.
[G1 Android Development] ckrest:
Look in packages.xml

<shared-user name="android.media" userId="10017">

Cannot figure how to edit this file, it rebuilds upon reboot.
[G1 Android Development] setzer715:
I heard its built into the saphire kernal and thats why it only works on H's saphire builds. I'm sorry, I cant find the thread talking about it.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
HTC ships a modified version of the Android core, so you need EVERYTHING from /system/framework from Haykuro's build. You need to modify the ramdisk to include the extra jars. You need some changes in /etc (platform.xml). Then you need a bunch of APKs from that build (Phone.apk, CustomizationProvider.apk, etc) because the stock ones don't work anymore due to the changes HTC made to the core. At this point you might as well just run his build.

And you can't even change the stuff in /system/framework on the US build anyway because of the .odex files. Your phone will go into a loop of crashes because of the StaleDexCache exceptions when trying to recompute dependencies.

Wait for the Rogers ROM to surface, and maybe we will have more options.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
woot! guess it's time to start using GIMP instead of Photoshop lol

So as of right now there's no way to do this in linux 64bit? Is there any info on signing updates in linux? Looked around early and didn't see anything.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
Look up the original tool for signing files...its a command line based tool...JF released it in his original releases. This works on linux.

Stericson
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
This is just for the US version of 1.51, right? Or is it also for the UK/EU? Just asking, because my ADP 1.51 JF is good to go, no cramfs! ;)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
Thats correct just the US.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ckrest:
You can do this all in windows.. i've posted elsewhere instructions already.. use cygwin.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Shagman68:
How about a lite version, or maybe JF can make a non-cramfs(craps) version. As most of us with root have apps 2 SD anyway and don't give a darn about a minor 10megs of phone left. oh well, guess back to adp without latitude.

Shaggy
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
Shagman this doesnt have anything to do with apps on the phone. The partition /system is totally separate from the space that apps are stored on.

If you dont know what your speaking about, don't insult the work of others. The extra 10 megs in /system for t-mobiles build is amazing and crucial for themeing since themes genrally increase the amount of space used in system, so really what JF unintentionally did was give you MORE space for theming, which will lead to bigger and better themes.

Also, yes you can create a Cramfs file using cygwin since it is basically a linux shell. However it will not create the update for you as this build environment will.

Also, thats why I said there is more then one way to skin a cat :)

Stericson
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
I tried Cygwin and it was really easy to use. It allows you to extract the files, manipulate them and you can recreate the cramfs file. Unfortunately, when I signed the zip file and flashed my phone it did not update the framework as I was expecting. I still had the grey status bar. I can't figure it out. Any ideas?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
You need a full system update. Use JF build enviro.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
I don't have Linux. :( Will it work with Cygwin? Because I don't think Cygwin can be ran as root. (But I just downloaded it today for the first time so I dunno and since I don't have Linux, I'm obviously a Linux noob.)

I already tried swapping out the cramfs file in the full 40 something mb update. I'm trying again just for the heck of it.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jdwme:
why not just use adp? I decided I'll do that, I don't need myfaves on my phone since my 5 never change. What other advantages are there to running the tmo us version other than that app?

Thank you so for this info... I really hate booting into windows xp but im still pretty new to linux so i just learning the good stuff... Again I appreciate anything that makes it were I dont have to boot into windows. Now if I can just sync/backup my wife Blackberry in linux i would be set. :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:

I'm using ADP now... but I haven't upgraded to the adp 1.51 US as of yet. So I figure I might as well go CRB43 since I want to update.

I'm running Dudes build right now, and it's an old build, the .8 version :) Haven't had myfaves since rc33, but I'm not updating until I finish making my update look how I want it and adp is the way to go for that without having to make it too overcomplicated :D

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] uberingram:
Haha, good work JF. I knew something was odd when I saw I had more /system/ space left over when going from ADP 1.51 to US 1.51. Good show indeed. :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] pershoot:
you should be able to do the same on ADP (if needed down the road) for framework.

add the appropriate line to init.rc and roll up a cramfs image and stick it in /system/framework. i assume the kernel will have the module needed to mount loop for cram on ADP.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Shagman68:
I just hope ADP stays with uncompressed framework file, or I will just have to wait for someone else to redo my Harley theme for the new compressed format. Better yet, would be cool if someone made a theme editor prog for Windows or Ubutu.
