[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmhecker:
After weeks of playing around, I have finally found a mod I am happy with (cyanogenmod), and I have a plethora of applications installed (both free and paid).

In addition to using cyanogenmod, I am using RA Recovery (I think that is the name of the recovery image)

Now, what I am wondering is: What is the proper way to back EVERYTHING up? I see there are a few backup options available (nandroid as well as Bart)...which one (or ones) do I need to use to get a complete backup of everything on my phone...and by everything, I mean the apps (paid and free), configurations, the system (mod, kernel, theme for the mod, etc, etc)...keeping in mind that the applications are on the SD card.

Is there anything that will go ahead and back up all of it for me, so that when I decide to try out different roms (Hero, etc), that I can easily revert to where I am right now, with everything set up and installed just how I like it?

I guess what I am looking for is a complete image of my phone. Hopefully that describes what I am lookin for, heh.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opasha:
SOLUTION:

1) make sure you set up your phone just the way you like it. then go into your amon ra recovery (the bart option works i believe for only RA recovery 1.2.3 and higher so just upgrade to the latest 1.5.2). make a nandroid back up only (not the ext option) first.

2) go to console and press enter. then type "utility." this will bring up the extra options of which bart back up and bart restore are a part of.

3) choose option 7 which is the bart back up. name your backup now to whatever you want. (tip: name it like cyan4.2.10.1darkstar or whatever rom and theme it is so u remember which is which and what has what). now it will back up everything (includes your data, your ext, literally everything as it is).

4) press "b" to reboot out of recovery.

5) now when you want to restore it. just wipe your phone (wiping ext is fine too but not needed) and go to console then and enter and type "utility" and type 8 for bart restore and it will list your backed up roms that you have named.

*important*- every time you perform a back up- you must do a Nandroid back up before going into the bart back up option. bart back up will always use the last nandroid back up you named when you create a new bart back up. also, all these backed up roms are located in the "bart" folder in your sdcard.

hope this helped :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
I think in RA's recovery you can do BART back up right from the recovery itself, don't even have to go into console.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opasha:
yes you can but the problem with that option is it does not allow you to name it so it is pretty much useless. the best way is to do the way i described so everything is in order and you know what you saved.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmhecker:
So, if I read your instructions properly, what I need to do is a nandroid backup (I chose Nand + ext backup), then run utility and follow the prompts, and it will utilize the nand backup I already performed, and then do its own things as well, to backup everything as it is...which is what I want.

Backed up, and will test the restore when/if I need to :)

I thank you much :)

I get an error stating "Cannot conference the calls." This was a feature i was looking forward to using with this phone but i haven't been able to get it to work.

The phone was on Orange it is now on O2 (unlocked), will this be an issue with the service providers (if that's the right term) and not the phone.

Anyone else use this often?

And in the UK will I be charged by O2 anything extra or will it be based on my tariff? I get free calls to O2, and a minutes allowance elsewhere.......

I understand the who ring who has an effect on how they are charged etc.

So, I took my microSD card out of my phone, put it into my digital camera, and my digital camera formatted the card. So, I lost all my pics I had taken with my phone. One of the pics, I have saved as the screen lock on my phone. Id love to get this pic off my phone, and onto my computer. can anyone suggest the best way to do this? Any responses are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

plug your phone into your computer via the usb cable and mount the sdcard via your phone

alright, so... just to prove my noob status with android... how would I go about getting that off my phone from there?
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
*makes mental note to add "pull any file" to my kitchen. heh*

Do you have the sdk / adb installed on your comp? Or are you a totally nubile noob? heh

If you do, from a command prompt it would be:

adb pull /data/misc/lockscreen c:\temp\

and make sure that c:\temp\ exists before you do it. If you don't have adb installed then download my kitchen (link is in my signature). Open a command prompt (on your computer) and then do this instead:

cd c:\folder-where-you-extracted-kitchen\adb\
adb-windows pull /data/misc/lockscreen c:\temp\

If you have any problems or errors then copy/paste them to me.

whenever i try to sudo apt-get something it requires a password, then i try to type in the password and no characters appear, only with this command, i also tried removing my account password.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
With sudo you never see your password. Are you talking about ubuntu? The super user (sudo) is the root password you set at the end of the install process.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloverdale:
Always remember, this apt-get has super cow powers.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnegie0107:
Yeah... this is a weird forum in which to post this question. It's a little off-topic.

Seriously, though... you're not supposed to see any characters. Just type your password anyway, and hit enter. It will work. Ubuntu, I'm guessing, since you're using apt, and are (no offense) seemingly not a Linux veteran? It would be your account password. In most other distros, it is the password of the root user. We could launch a huge debate here if we started talking about which was better, having a root password or allowing authorized users su privileges with only their account password... so let's not discuss it.

SPB Mobile shell & wm6.5.1

Hi, there is a simply trick in registry, that will solve the issue. It´s not WM 6.5.1 problem, but conflict with new Showcase Suite... I´ve already did it and it works...

So to use with spbMS3, you need to REMOVE "Manila" from SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses in order not to have the windows taskbar overlay spbMS3 shell.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase]

My "SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses" = "RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS;RESCO_REGISTRY_CLASS"

Music lag while device is in sleep:

this is because i set cpu to 19MHz while it is in sleep to save battery to change that

go to start->settings->processor, go to edit profiles, choose power savings...and there you will see sleep frequency,change it to 192MHz!

I want to set any ringotne for incoming call/sms/mms..

Copy your_ring.wma to \windows\ringtones and select it from settings :D

Cant unlcok my device:

If you cant unlock device just slide with finger somwhere in bottom of the screen and than normally slide to unlock, or press vol up/down and unlock, storng password ha ;)

When you enable the password - make sure you set the "promt if unused for" to 12 or 24 hours. Then go to Smart lock and check WM6.5 new lock and Suspend lock.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mJoker:
I've been using a Wizard (T-Mobile MDA) for awhile, but I recently acquired an old, used Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) and would love to use it, as it's much faster than my Wizard. However the USB port on the Kaiser is broken (It charges fine, just doesn't connect to ActiveSync) and I was wondering if there was a way for me to install a ROM on the Kaiser without connecting to USB. Or if there's a known way to fix the issue (although I doubt that since it seems like just a broken hardware problem and not a software issue).

What I had in mind was installing from a MicroSD card, because I can put the MicroSD in my Wizard (I have a MicroSD to SD adaptor) and use ActiveSync to get the ROM on there, and then install. I have no idea if this is possible at *all* but if it is, it'd be great to know.

If there's another way, that's cool too.

Thanks in advance! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XtremeNL:
Try very carefully wiggling the usb plug around, or even squeezing it in a little.

If you look around there should even be guides on how to bend the connectors so it will work again.

You probably figured out already that a faulty usb port is quite common with the kkaiser.

But if that doesn't work, you can always flash from a SD Card, wich doesn't need a work around with active sync, just writing the correct files to the sd card using a card reader works fine too, there should be a guide somewhere in the ROM sub-forums.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mJoker:
Well the bizarre thing is that it still *charges* via USB... that wouldn't happen if the pins were bent would it? (I dunno, I'm kinda slow. I'll take a look under better light when I post this.

Also I've looked all over for a guide or thread for it... It's probably hiding in plain sight... Anyone here know how to do it? I'm not new to ROMs (Got Button's ROM on my Wizard and Dutty's on the Kaiser) so I don't need super-detailed instructions... Just basic info and any not-obvious tips on anti-brick prevention.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mJoker:
Well it appears I'm stupid...

Little inspection showed the pins were bent a tad... little effort repaired this issue.

Little glue will ensure that it's permanent...

Assuming I have the balls to use super glue in there... (I don't)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] HRUDKA:
Same problem, but can't figure it out. The inner connector seems to be ok, I've even tried various cables, but each of them charged only ..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jmhalder:
well, a little searching wouldve shown that you can throw any *.nbh file on the root of the sdcard (renamed to KAISIMG.NBH) and hold the camera button during boot, if you've hardSPL'd it should work fine, will prompt you on the screen to continue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] HRUDKA:
Well, I have HardSPL on the phone, but it does not properly work for me. It works only for some stock ROMs. In other cases the phone just hangs at the "Loading..." screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Then just follow the steps to upgrade your hardspl by SD card method. Upgrading the spl should allow flashing of more roms.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] HRUDKA:
Is it possible to flash in JumpSPL mode from a MicroSD card? It seems that I have no other option, because of the connection between my PC and the phone that seized to work.

Well, actually this is something I was thinking of ..

Is your phone unlocked ? Is it a cooked 6.5 or an official ? If it is an official upgrade you can't go back without unlocking your phone and flashing 6.1 as a cooked rom.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
The just look around or look in the wiki for a norwegian rom and flash it as you would any other rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Armazia:
There has never been released an official 6.5 rom for The Kaiser, So that is impossible. The kaiser he has is unlocked. So you can just download a rom and install it(Should read the post for fully compatibility).

P.S. This isn't the only site I try to help people with their HTC phones on, nor is the Kaiser the only platform I try to advise on. While you are correct in that 6.5 has never been released for the Kaiser, 6.5 has been released on many more european roms and devices than in the US

Hi,

I am a bit confused and will appreciate your help:

Here goes....

Lets say I want to develop a new keyboard driver, and I actually want to replace the old one on my device. This project is not meant to be commercial or anything so I can assume that I will be the only user, and I have no privilege problems (assuming I have a developer certificate for my phone).

So, is it possible for me to develop a new keyboard driver and replace my old one with the new one ?

Is the old driver is written in the rom ? is there a way to replace it (e.g if Microsoft will publish an update for their keyboard driver .. )

Is the only way to do it is to create a new bsp ? How can I create a BSP for my phone (or can only the big manufactures such as samsung create a bsp )?

I am proficient driver developer for the win platform, but a total newbie in the ce world.... thanks for your help :)
