Hi, i have been searching for a How-to thread on How To backup the kaiser, tilt or any pda. and had no luck.
But my problem is this.
I already setup my tilt to the way i pretty much want it with tweaks, programs and settings, but i would like to take out all that att crap aka bloatware.
Is there a way to take out all that att crap and save all my settings, programs, tweaks etc. i already set and installed or would i have to start all over again?
and if i can do that how do i go about backing up my phone and re installing the restoring it without the att crap?
Thanks in advance.
backup
the only way to get rid of the att crap is to to a hard reset. most of the programs are built into the rom and can not be uninstalled. \
in order to aviod the reinstalling of the apps after a hard reset you need to reset the device right before all the customizations start.
in order to back up your comtacts emails txt msgs and such u need to search for a program called PIM backup. it will back up all of your info.
if i am wrong someone will correct me.

I am a fan of SPB Backup. but there is also Sprite Backup. Both are good and both backup all your installations settings etc. They provide full backups that can have you back up and running in ten to fifteen minutes after a hard reset or a major fault.Unfortunately it is probably a little late to remove bloatware from ATT. Most if not all these add on applications and trials etc were built into the ROM from ATT. You cannot now remove them from the ROM. You might have been able to stop the installation of this bloatware when you first got the device. However, if you were to hard reset now and stop it runnng the customisation stuff, you could not then run your backup, else it will all be put back on again. One or two things may appear in the remove programs section.Still now you have all this experience, you can start again, maybe even try a 'clean' ROM although that brings a different set of issues. It all depends how it is working and if you are happy with it.Mike
The included Sprite back up software is pretty good. It does back up (and restore) all data including programs, tweaks (registry) and most settings. I do notice that it does not back up GPRS proxy settings, but that's easy enough to reconfigure. Can't help with the bloatware.
i guess its not a big pain to redo all my settings... its not too much work to do...
What ROM performs the fastest? i notice this one that came on the tilt is a little slow when txt messaging and when trying to use it in general.
Can someone point me into the right direction?
I downloaded the kaiser-HardSPL.exe program. to unlock it but havent tried yet i wanna make sure im heading into the right direction.
which ROM is the best for ATT? i would like to speed the phone up a little bit.
But if i do this i shouldnt even try and backup my settings because u cant restore different rom backups to other ROM versions .. am i correct?
Thanks for all the help so far!

which rom do u suggest i use for att? thanks bud
Just a couple of questions as i notice when i was using the MSN
1. Does you PDA slow down to a craw when you launch the Messenger & also while it's running in the background?
2. When setting up Messenger, do you merge Messenger contacts with outlook or not?
3. When you launch Messenger be it on 3G connection or WiFi, how long does it take before it loads your full list of contacts?
4. Is there a way to speed up the Messenger on the TyTN II?
5. What version of Windows Live are you using?
Mine.
1. I can barely use my PDA for anything while Messenger is running. It feels as if it has freeze most of the time
2. I merge my contacts with Outlook
3. It takes mine a good 7 - 10 minutes before it loads up my Messenger list which is only about 120 contacts
4. Would love some advice here
5. Version 10.6.0033.0600
Appreciate any advice as i use Messenger a lot. Thank you and Merry Christmas
I don't really now all that but for me I love windows live... I wish the GPS worked a little better though... So many times it cannot find a signal. In anyevent...
The real question is what do you all feel is better Google live or windows live?

people!! There are 2 very different Windows Live/Live Search apps. Can we please start getting this straight?
I know MS made some idiotic branding/naming decisions, but I feel like if you own WinMo phone you should have it figured out by now.
The questions refer to Windows Live, NOT Live Search.
1.) No. Messenger does not bring my phone to crawl, although I rarely stay connected long because Windows Live + Kaiser Connection Issues = major suck fest (just search my past post for more info)
2.) No I do not merge Outlook contacts. I keep Live for all personal contacts and Exchange server for business. Works out really great.
3.) To connect to Messenger and see buddy list (about 105 contacts) over 3G takes approximately 1 minute.
4.) Have you tried Kaiser Tweak app for changing File System and Glyph settings? These tend to improve overall device performance and work well for me.
5.) I have used them all and recently downgraded to 10.6.32.2100.
I have to admit I do not use the Messenger portion much. My main complaint has been not getting Push mail to work correctly. Had NO issues with WL on my Hermes. I submitted a report to MS and they are supposedly "working on it"
Well...if that is the case, my Messenger is confirm not working the way it's suppose to. I actually though it was normal cos i had the same problem on my Hermes.
Care to give me the settings in the KaiserTweak file system thing that u r using.
1 more question....can i just download & install a older or newer version & have the current version overwrite?
1. i cant tell its running - but my contacts list is quite small - see 2.
2. i initially merged but got peeved off as all my msn contacts got mixed up with my real life contacts which made finding phone number laborious - so i reset it all only to find that doing so wiped my messenger contact list - entirely - no more contacts - not even on my main pc! so now i dont merge.
3. cant say on these two, havent really ever connected via them - on gprs though it takes about 6 seconds ish - but again my contacts list is short.
4. probably not
5. Version 10.6.0033.0600
my pet peev is the windows live home screen plugin - its far too large

In Kaiser Tweak, under Cache. I am using all the (Advised) Settings. However I don't think that will help your problem much. Do a lot of your contacts have a custom display picture? When I contatced MS about my problem with emails they told me to change my display pic to a default as custom pics have been known to cause issues. If a lot of people on your buddy list have custom pics, that could be causing the delay.
Also, do not install WL over a previous version. First uninstall it from your device and soft reset. Then install the older version.
Let us know if you find something to fix the issue.

In case u hit problem number 2 again, u can actually log into MSN on your desktop, then click on Tools->Options->Privacy then click on View. From there, just right click on the names on the list and add to contacts

Thanx for the info. Sadly most of my contacts have their own custom pictures which might explain the slow loading of my MSN.
This still does not explain why when MSN is running, my TyTN II is crawling to the extend many time i just reset it and stop using the MSN
Well....guess now i have another problem....my MSN is in the ROM itself. I'm using Dutty's No.7B ROM. Any ideas?
Hi,I have 10.6.0031.2600 version and it doesn't work too.I send a mail to http://support.live.com and they answer me that i must verify proxy connections.So i don't know why because it worked before ...
Finally....when setting up MSN, do not "Store & Merge contacts with Outlook". This has made my MSN run like normal again. Now it's fast Thanks guys for the tips & advice. Problem solved.
Hi, I have a AT&T Tilt and I have a simple problem I want to know how can I fix it, if its possible.
PLEASE DONT TELL ME TO SEARCH CAUSE I TRY A FEW TIMES AND I CANT FIND THE ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM, MAYBE I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE THE SEARCH.
OK here it is:
#1 = CLOCK
-I want to put the clock , lets say retard the time 10 minutes, I do it, but in a few hours the clock its at the real time again! How or what do I have to do, so the time wont fix by it self???
Also, Can anyone please tell me if its a way to see youtube videos??, my cellphone on " m.youtube.com" any video says, fail to connect, and on www.youtube.com (the same one we use on a PC) it says something about the flash player...? (I havent search for this)
THANKS
for youtube get the "video sites" cab. it will take you to all the video sites.
#1 - Clock
Start>Settings>Phone>Time Zones Tab, Un-Check "Automatic Change Time Zone and Clock".
#2 youtube, you will need to search, it involves installing TCPMP and setting it up and I'm not up to spoon feeding tonight.

But im a newbie on this sophisticated windows phones, I usually get lost on the phone hehehe
thank you very much!!!
--------------
OK changing the topic a little, I installed the HTC HOME and HTC album, and the new camera drivers, very very cool things, what other things do you recommend me to install on my TILT??
whats touchflow for?, and what about the HTC cube like thing I have seen here, is that easy to install? (like the HTC home?), any of this will make my phone slower?
thanks

Read & Search!!!!!!!!
Okay, I assume you're talking a live or hotmail account, right? If so you'll need WLM or pocket MSN. Here is WLM: http://rapidshare.com/files/77537208/WLM_v10.6.0030.2100.rar
Instal WLM from desktop & then go back to the "new e-mail" and it will run you through the configuration. This is going to instal windows messenger too though. Make sure you read the screen & uncheck the sync contacts option unless you want all your hotmail/live contact stored in pocket outlook.
Thanks to every one, im reading and searching, learning a little more about my Tilt
I still havent figure out how to see youtube videos, but I guess i'll find something in the next days...
Another thing, if some one can answer me
MY TILT has this on memory:
STORAGE------------------------Program
TOTAL = 124.66------------------TOTAL = 101.38
in use = 101.17-------------------in USE = 51.49
FREE = 23.49----------------------FREE = 49.89
Is thats normal?, i have 4 mp3 (not more than 10mb) and like 10 pictures (not more than 6mb), and HTC HOME, Some Camera driver someone post here, HTC HOME Custumizer , and HTC album
If the phone install something, I remove it on "REMOVE PROGRAMS" right?, will it still use memory? ( i think this is a stupid question) I ask, cause I remember yesterday I had 29 free MB, and now I only have 23Mb, and the phone its exactly the same, I download some programs, but i remove it on "remove programs"

To be honest, I'm relieved that your questions were actually valid and you seemed to have used the search.
We're not newbie-hostile over here. We just get tired of answering the same questions all the time.
That being said, if you post about problems with your keyboard and volume after having flashed a new ROM, we'll probably ream you for not having searched. Thank God for intelligent questions and new users.
sorry, im dont know if I understand your post (im not a good English student hehe)
im sorry if I do anything bad, or anything I cant do

Well, the memory usage seems to be normal. Please notice that the operating system also needs memory and needs more space, if you open programs. You can check and close programs in the same settings window using the tab Running Programs. Regulary Windows Mobile just minimizes programs when you click on the "X"-Button. There are several solutions to override this and really close an application then. You can find some free at www.freecabs.de (Website is in english).
And yes, to remove programs you have to remove them at Settings>System>Remove Programs. But you can not remove programs, which are implemented in the ROM. Just the apps you installed.
Here's how to get full Youtube working:
http://tech.blorge.com/Structure: /...youtube-working-on-your-windows-mobile-phone/
Truthfully, you will have much more memory available, and it will be easier to fully close programs to prevent them from using resources (CPU and memory) if you flash a cooked ROM (I like Dutty's DualTouch v2). Posts on how to do this are everywhere, and on the XDA developers wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Good luck.
And don't feel bad about not having perfect English. It's a ridiculously hard language to learn and an ugly one, in my opinion.

Please Help
Thanks every one 4 the HELP
About the memory storage issue I have, I dont know, but maybe my phone has something wrong, cause today it has 5MB less than yesterday and I havent istalled anything!!!
anyone have this problem? what if my phone run out of free memory in a few days??
--------
another Question, when I want to reset the phone (turn it off and then turn it ON) I do it by pressing the power button on the side of the phone, or is it a button in a program, like a PC, to turn it off??
I would like to know
is it better to Delete Cab files after installing
to make more space on phone ?
Or would we need it when we make a sprite back up ?
also if we change cards from 6gb to 8gb
do i just copy paste all on my 6gb to my 8gb card 7 that should do it
or is there another way ?
Thank you
and about the youtube thing, I download the files install it, and I think it make my phone slower and it doesnt work at all, only say, the video its not avaible (may have been removed) at www.youtube.com no matter what video I click...
:\

wow, when trying to see videos at m.youtube, my modem reset when the cell phone try to connect to the video...

Yes, you only need to copy and paste files from an old to a new card. I'd recommend to turn off the phone while doing it but you don't need to do that.

Hi,
First off, thank you for a really information rich and professional forum!
To my problem, I have the HTC Touch Diamond and I recently changed ROM to dutty's. By mistake I deleted all contacts in my phone book, unfortunately all my SIM contacts were deleted as well. I understand that it might be impossible to restore them since they were stored physically on a SIM card but I have seen some people in this forum manage to do things with this phone that I did'nt think were possible so I thought that I'll give you guys a try.
Is there a way to undo the deleting or am I screwed?
well though i can`t help you i`d like to give you an advice. didn`t you read in flashing manual BACKUP before flashing ? always backup backup backup unless you don`t store your contacts on Exchange server
Oh the problem did not occur after or during flashing, I just wanted you to know which ROM I am using. I could have done this with the stock ROM as well..
I just wanted to know if the diamond was that advanced that it stored all my deleted elements in the memory until I restart it.
Did your contacts really get deleted?
Dutty usually disables the display of SIM contacts (as do other cooks).
They might still be there, you just might not be seeing them.
^.^
check the sim manager
they maybe there...hiding!
i have flashed 100's rom and they have never touched the sim cards
Hehe as I said in my previous post it has nothing to do with the ROM-flashing. When I enter the SIM Manager it is empty and when I look at the properties of my SIM card it is totally empty, no entries, blank.. ****ed in other words
I dont count on solving this problem as the contacts are physically deleted but it would be really cool if the phone had it stored in the memory somewhere..

it sounds like you may be buggerd m8
your old phone still don't have a contacts list i take it?
I dont understand what you mean with "old phone" but I take it as you wonder if I have my contacts on the phone I used before the Diamond. I still do have some contacts on that one but not all unfortunately. Well seems like the only thing I can do is adding the contacts manually when I receive calls from my friends :\
Thank you anyway for your time!
Hey guys ive not posted in a while, my phone was stolen out of my car
and i was wondering if there is a way to get my Phone numbers and data from
within the Nandroid backups i have on my PC. I am currently trying to get Eclipse and an emulator working to see if i can load nandroid and create an emulated clone of my old G1 then export all my phone numbers or something. Any suggestions would really be appreciated, i am going to the Leo as soon as i get my numbers and stuff.
If you had Google sync enabled contact info can be found at:
https://www.google.com/contacts
Sign in and view/edit your contact list.
For other data I wish you luck.. it sorta ought to work.. report the imei as stollen if you can. So at least no one will be able to use the phone.
Sorry for the loss people who do such things are beyond crappy.

Do a google search for "unyaffs". You run the unyaffs command on your data/system/cache partition images and it'll extract them for you.
WOW thank you both, my contacts are sitting right there at google for me lol i cant believe it! this is why android rules! thank you both.. now i have about 90 percent of my contacts. the more recent ones i may be able to get with that unyaffs thing you mentioned.. im going to go google it now. !! thanks guys!
