Yes, I have this and other rendering issues in IE intermittently. For example, sometimes the page goes all white and doesn't repaint properly until I finger scroll. I find it a little odd that you're the first person I've seen mention it. I wonder if it's just us?

[APP]"FlashBack 0.7" |Backup & autorestore for hardcore Flashers/Cooks | 10-28-09

FlashBack​

UPDATE: 11-1-09

-Added dotFred's Taskmanager EXT package which is REQUIRED package. Sorry I thought that it was included in my FlashBack package. This will fix issue with no reg keys being made.

-Updating cab with dotFred's taskmanager as well.

-

I have been working on this little mortscript for a while now, constantly updating as I find more things to add. It has been one of my most valuable and timesaving tools which I cook into all of my ROMs. It allows a user to backup many items which you would have to input and change manually upon first boot. This saves me a LOT of time as I flash a new ROM just about daily. It also has the ability to autorestore all items if cooked into the ROM. I am not a programmer, so if anyone is interested in turning this into an actual program rather than mortscript please let me know :) Also, I am no mortscript wizard, so if anyone would like to have at the original to make it better go for it :) This software will create a folder in root of Storage Card named "Phone Backup", so it may not work if you do not have a Storage Card (does not support localization currently). Also, take note that although I use this quite frequently I do not guarantee it to work fully for you. I will try to work with you to find solutions when possible.

Without the help of Noonski, and many others this script could not exist. So thank you very much :)

You might be thinking "What do I need this for if I can use SASHIMI or UC or any of the other available autoconfig programs?". This app is not meant to be a replacement for any of these programs, rather it will work hand-in-hand with most of these to backup and restore items easily that you might not think about. It will also autoload manila in 6.5 ROMs and load your prefered wallpaper, weather, program tab preferences, and much more.

Original thread can be found HERE. I have started this new thread in attempt to reorganize and provide easy access to more information. Note to mods: please close previous thread.

Post #2 = Full list of items you can backup.

Post #3 = Changelogs and planned features (Current changelog will be in post 1)

Post #4 = Information for cooks (required reading)

Post #5 = Known bugs and issues

Cab and OEM attached below. OEM is for Visual kitchen, Legacy package can be provided upon request. Mortscipt 4.2 or newer may be required although it does use a mortrunner which should be able to run the file just fine as far as I know.If you find this software useful, consider a donation to motivate the author to improve it :)

Information for cooks (required reading)

Sorry I dont have time right now to add all info, but I will try to add the most important stuff real quick.

-The OEM package will install all files to \Windows folder.

-If you use DotFred taskmanager(known as FDCTaskmanager as well) you will want to have a closer look at this package because the .exe file is already included but renamed to df_taskmgr.exe. You can just edit the app.dat file to add your own shortcut to start menu.

-You can also edit the location of FlashBack shortcut in the app.dat. All updates are taken directly from my kitchen, and I install my shortcut to start menu\programs\Tools\Backup.

-There will be a shortcut created in startup folder during cooking

-Autorestore will only run on BootCount=2(to avoid issues with initial customization) and will do a check of reg to make sure it has not already run. There is also a line to delete the shortcut from startup when complete.

-Basically all you need to do as a cook is to include the package that I have provided. I used to have a double check to ensure that manila was present using additional reg key(you will see above in changelog), but have removed the line from the script so it should not be needed. It will check for existence of manila.exe instead.

Has Email been incorporated into this, or planned for a future release? I'm addicted to flashing, but I need email access, and it's rather annoying to set up 3 accounts every week. Thanks in advance, this sounds like a very useful program.

It's nice to have this application.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] theory_87:

I got the error message below

There is no application associated with "FlashBack". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jmckeejr:
Install to device. What language is the ROM? Currently only works on WWE.

re: Email~ I hope to use an xml writer like Makisu(comes w/ SASHIMI). Will be looking into it when I get some time. Same will be needed for Wifi I think.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nir36:
Until now, i've been SASHIMI-ING everything including reg keys. this is definately a wonderful addition to SASHIMI.

one problem tho... I just tried to backup some settings and it didn't put anything in the Phone Backup dir (working with a Blackstone on Topix 3.1.1 ROM).

[Windows Mobile Software Development] PMDColeslaw:
HAving an error after installing... Says it's unable to create the director "/Storage Card/Phone"

Thats prob because my "Storage Card" is named "Internal Storage"

Is there a way to correct this on my end or is it something you have to change in the script?

UPDATE**

Hope this is ok with the dev, if not - my appologies.

I edited the script myself to make it work with "Internal Storage" as opposed to "Storage Card"

If anyone else has this issue just install from the cab as normal, then copy the Flashback.MSCR file from the attached .zip in this post to your device Windows directory and select yes when prompted to replace the existing file. Should work after that.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] jmckeejr:
Which settings? Did it make the folder in Storage Card?

Definitely ok. This is as open source as open source can be. There is a lot to be done still, so any help is gladly taken :)

I will try to get into the details this weekend for cooks and enthusiastic folks who would like to add/change things. Does anyone know of an easy way to add localization? ie if storage card is named as something else, I know some things can use code like %Storage% or something. I would have added something so you could select directories, but the AutoRestore relies on using Storage Card for now. Maybe as I figure mnore out I will do a rewrite and clean it up. There is a lot of repeated entries that I should be able to eliminate with variables. I also still need to add xml restore son nI can get more included.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nir36:
Well, it created the directory by itself, and it also backed up some files.. like the wallpaper and such, but it didn't post reg keys for some reason. that's the only problem i can see right now.

other than that, wonderful idea, wonderful mechanism. thank you so much :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jmckeejr:
it uses .ini for some manila settings rather than exporting entire reg key (taskmanager wont export value or I cant figure it out)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] -Arturo-:
Well, same problem on my phone it creats folders "phone backup/reg keys" but doesn';t save anything in them and I only tried to backup owner info, rings and alerts and also thumbcal & resco settings. I'm running the latest ver. of MortScript I think it's v. 4.3 b. maybe your scripts were written for the last stable version 4.2.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jmckeejr:
I have updated first post with Taskmanager package. I had thought it was included in the original package, but after downloading it myself and looking I see its not there. df_taskmgr.exe is a required file and I have added the package to post 1. Have also updated the cab file.

Thanks for the feedback, otherwise I would not have found it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] -Arturo-:

i just starting looking into this sort of thing (run juicyr2 on tp2 w/ xda_uc) and since the only thing i have figured out bout xda_uc is 2 be able 2 install cabs automatic. and now this w/ all the settings. i have a couple questions, if you dont mind; i'm on sense 2.5, so will i be able to restore manila files when upgrading rom (as long as it stays 2.5)? i not sure i understand manila autorestore, sorry 4 my ignorance. i tried testing w/ the manila weather backup then deleted all weather then restore but i get an error message then click out of it then i get a succed message. when restore manila files do i need to make sure sense ui is disabled?

i am completely new to this sorta thing, so any more helpful info. would be great an my gf will be happy (i cant stop flashing)

thanks you

Ok, so I was reading some articles and what not, and from what I'm thinking is that some of them have some truth, about the size limits of the G1, and how big the OS is getting.

So can someone who's a lot smarter than me (Meaning, most of you :P ) Please re-assure me, that even in the worst case we'd find a way to put it on a correctly formatted SD card?

Sorry if this was already brought up somewhere, I didn't see one, so I figured at the very least this could start a topic about it :)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
QFT, I personally might be upgrading to a MT3G which I know is well over the size problem. But tmobile will force google into make a 2.0 rom for G1 users, according to Tmobile they still plan on continuing support through 2.0.. From what I heard apps2sd is going to be stock next rom so maybe they could take that extra space form the app storage and turn it into rom space!

of course this is still theoretically saying that only non protected apps will be on SD and protected ones will be on like a 20mb partition or some thing.

[G1 Apps and Games] mrandroid:
OK, for those on any cupcake or donut build, I've included instruction to get the new Maps 3.2.0 and the new YouTube app from Eclair (Android 2.0).

1. Download the zip file. View attachment 241511

2. Extract and place Maps.apk and YouTube.apk on the root of your SDCard

I'm using CyanogenMod 4.2.2 with CM-Recovery 1.4

In CM 4.2.2 the apps are found in /system/app ***while the phone is on and operation, if it's off or in recovery the symlink won't be active so please make sure your phone is completely booted. Don't do this from Recovery Console***

If you're using a different rom... go through your phone and locate Maps.apk and YouTube.apk update the links below accordingly

Windows users (with ADB working)

1. Open a CMD (command promt window)

Type:

- adb remount

- adb shell

- rm /system/app/Maps.apk

- rm /system/app/YouTube.apk

- cd /sdcard

- cp Maps.apk /system/app

- cp YouTube.apk /system/app

Phone Users:

1. Open a Terminal Window:

2. Type the following:

- su

- mount /system -o remount,rw

- rm /system/app/Maps.apk

- rm /system/app/YouTube.apk

- cd /sdcard

- cp Maps.apk /system/app

- cp YouTube.apk /system/app

You don't need to reboot... Apps will show up immediately in your menu. (You'll need to put them back on your Home Screen if you had them there though)

You're done... enjoy!
[G1 Apps and Games] persiansown:
Is this the new maps with turn by turn?
[G1 Apps and Games] seaweeduk:
You might want to change from

rm /system/app/Maps.apk

rm /system/app/Youtube.apk

to

mv /system/app/Maps.apk /sdcard/Maps.apk.old

mv /system/app/Youtube.apk /sdcard/Youtube.apk.old

the youtube app isn't all that stable and it never hurts to keep a backup, also I believe you need to remove any .obex files for maps and youtube to avoid problems although I didn't see any under CM 4.2.2

edit: I also believe these don't work on 1.5 might be worth pointing out in the OP

I tried a few different variations.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
remember to remount first and make sure you have the correct directories.

some roms uses system/app, some roms uses data/app_s
[G1 Apps and Games] Breakthecycle2:
Yeah I did do that...odd
[G1 Apps and Games] IronCross1788:
do u have the origional file.. i made a booboo and didnt back up. forgot to backup origional file.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
can u use a file explorer and browse and double check which directories the files are actually in? i see you tried both system/app and app_s. and i see you have lowercase for maps.apk. it could be uppercase, case sensitive.

for example your first cmd #rm /system/app/maps.apk, it should be Maps.apk

also for the copying part you need to do adb push, dont do it from shell. if you do from shell it would have to be from sdcard to that directory. i noticed in your log you didnt change directory to sdcard.
[G1 Apps and Games] jeremybara:
Hahah yeah I made the same mistake--was getting 'Cross-Linked' errors so I said ehh fudge it and just wiped the original out. After that I was able to get the new Maps.apk loaded up though and DAMN, definitely an improvement :)
[G1 Apps and Games] dashed:
I thought these apps wouldnt work on anything below android 1.6?
[G1 Apps and Games] Dyonas:
If you're having trouble finding the app and want to check the directory you're in you can use ls (that's LS) to list the contents of the current directory. ROMs store things in different places so if you haven't already try....

adb remount

adb shell

cd /data/

ls

At that point see if you have app, app_s, app-private etc then if you do you can ....

cd app or app_s etc

Then do..

ls Maps.apk (this is case-sensitive)

If you get nothing do

cd ..

That'll take you back one directory, so if you're in /data/app it'll put you in /data

With those few commands you can probably find it. I don't use Linux enough to know what if there's a 'find' command available in console. The other option that might be quicker would be to find the .zip of the ROM you're using, create a new folder for it, move the .zip file to the new folder and then extract it there. That way you can browse through directories more easily or use Windows / OS X / Linux search functions to find Maps.apk

Phew...
