Hello,
Does anyone know a way not only to backup PIM, but also Email settings and COnnection/VPN settings/Exchangeserver settings?
It is quite annoying jotting them down everytime I try a new rom.
No tools for this? Must be some reg keys only aren't they?
Why not back the registry up using sprite or a reg tool?
New Roms have other Registry settings I guess?

This is what I would like to know too
I doubt it's in the registry: I searched for my account name and it wasn't found. Try looking into the "Documents and Settings" folder; that seems promising to me!
Ok, since you dont want to do the work, try exporting these hives:
wifi conn - HKCU\comm\EAPOL\Config
Sounds/notifications - HKCU\control panel\notifications
Exchange activesync settings - HKLM\system\activesync
To start off with.
Most of those keys should be fairly standard, roms should only change HTC and other software/hardware specific entries for tweaks.
This would really help! I have no idea where to look for those settings... Also I would like to save the settings about my favourites (people shoving up in manila) so that I dont have to add them every time I reflash. Thanks

Not in the Registry - It's WAP Provisioning.
For the Email definitely (and perhaps some of the other settings you want) you can use RapiConfig to export your email settings to Provisioning XML. See the UC thread - post #17 for details.
Use this option when exporting.
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic-query type="EMAIL2" recursive="true"/>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
Also it is not obvious until you think about it - but when you run the RapiConfig utility on your PC - you must have your phone connected via USB to said PC at this time so it can extract the info from it.
Oh and you could of course just write the ProvXML your self without extracting/creating it with RapiConfig.
You can then either just import the ProvXML with Regedit v3 or convert the ProvXML to a CAB so it will import standalone.
I have done the latter. So I can reinstall all four of my email accounts with a single click on a cab. The process is a little convoluted to create. But you only have to do it once and then you can just keep using it. I originally created mine on my Kaiser 6 months ago and it works perfectly on the Diamond.
Also same UC thread post #3 scroll to the EMAIL2 CSPs bit to see the syntax. which is like this..
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>

So will anyone look into this and create a tool which creates the ability to restore email settings after a ROM update? Highly appreciated.
use a back-up utility like spb backup. restore PIM and e-mail only! the registry and system of the new ROM is not the same with yr old one!!
i get not only my PIM and e-mail accounts but also my favorite ppl (pics), last calls and SMS and all my settings (password not included) for WIFI and Internet connection. all in under 1 min!
logger: Great guide, I managed to make an regout.xml, but I dont know how to make a cab out of it. Any help is appreciated!

Use makecab. For info look more here. Makecab should already be on your WIN system
Syntax is
Code:
makecab _setup.xml Provisioning.cab
Make sure you either append "_setup.xml" to the end of, or rename your input XML to just _setup.xml as makecab needs that in the input filename. Output name can be whatever you want.

It is the GUID that makes the email account unique (at least thats the way I understand it but my knowledge here is very limited). Go back and look at UC Thread Post #3 and in the EMAIL2 CSPs section read the second line which explains that you simply go to http://www.guidgen.com/ to create a new one that you can use.
thanks thanks thanks!
so i need a different one every time i restore this account, or just generating one that i use every time should be ok..
Thanks. I knew about the regular windows makecab...but wasnt sure if its the same for ppc

Just create the GUID once for each account. I have probably used my "AllFourEmailAccs.cab" more than 50 times now, unchanged from day one and it works perfectly.

Hello mate- by favourite ppl- do you mean it actually backs up the list of favourite people you've setup in TF3D??? I've been looking for something to back up my TF3D people list since ROM flashing became possible (which is now why way behind as we know )
Hi, I just tried my new cab, it does import the email settings, but doesnt import the password. Also it doesnt import the wifi password. Any suggestions?
PS it wrote after installing the cab, that the installation was unsuccessful.
Thanks for any tips
I also need a way to backup connections (wap & mms)...

Does anybody know how to create my own CAB or where can I find some guide. I mean, CAB which would contain GPRS connection settings (modem, access point, user name, password, internet connection flag, etc).
After each ROM upgrade I have to enter connection settings manually.
In my current EXTROM, there is CAB whoch contain such setting (part of them below). I would change some of values (access point name, userName, password), but how to determine DestID value ?

The only thing I have been able to find out so far is that you can create .cab files for mobile devices using Microsoft Visual Studio. There is an evaluation version in the Windows Mobile SDK that you can download here. I'm playing around with it at the moment to see what is possible.
I would be very interested to hear from Molski and others how they create their .cab files!
DestID is a unique created sequence. You can keep the destID same as given above. I have prepared the GPRS/MMs configuration cab file for BSNL(North) for INDIA. Only thing you have to change for customization are very few paramenters like access point, server address, gateway etc. You can easily make it. What you need is WinCE cab Manager for making the Cab. enjoy...
Turns out there is a page on the Wiki here that explains how to create your own .cab files. Didn't find it when I was browsing the Wiki, but it turned up in google when I searched for WinCE cab Manager

I create my CAB files with WinCE Cab Manager.
I know it is possible in Visual Studio also, I got Visual Studio, but didn't had the time yet to see how it works.
So for know I use WinCE Cab Manager (v1.1) which works perfect in my opinion.

Hey everyone,
I've attached two CAB files for everyones use.
Custom-MMS1-Install-for-MMS.CAB - This CAB file actually creates the the MMS folder. It does not contain any settings.
cingular mms.cab - This CAB file contains the settings for Cingular's MMS. It addresses the small image sizes as well. Normally you get "thumbnail" size images if you manually configure and don't use the extended ROM install. This fixes that.
Hope they're helpful..
Cheers!
thanks. good stuff. do you have the gprs ones as well?
it would be great if you had both MMS settings plus the GPRS all wrapped up in one package. please do
I will likely do a separate CAB for those. I generally use the isp.cingular and I know a lot of people do not. I'll try to get off me arse tonight and do it though.
Great Job but I would like teh settings and mms cab's seprate too.
Althought don't need this right now, I keep it just in case.
What do u mean by creating mms folder?? Will it work on my magician?? I'm bored of that arcsoft thing that waste about 3megs of free ram.. this is only about 70kb!! :shock:
MocciJ
I've got the reg keys extracted for the wap.cingular connection. Does anyone need isp.cingular?
I'm going to keep them as two separate CAB files once I create them, which will be tomorrow morning. I plan on hard resetting my Wizard and testing them first before I put them up here.
MocciJ, the Arcsoft thing needs to be there. All this MMS cab does is create the MMS account with the one cab, then set the settings with the other. Arcsoft is the application that actually does the formatting and such for the MMS messages.
I don't know if it will work on your Magician, but I'm imagining the reg keys are probably the same.
this is great,
Should we do the folder cab first or the mms settings cab first? or does it matter?
somone text'd me last night but i forgot i dont have the settings for that yet on my phone, found out after i talked to them. Running molksi 2.26 <-awesome rom btw.

Skot, got an idea for ya.. i was gonna do this but am still busy with my rom.. i was gonna make the cabs for the connections, both media net and MY isp on cingular, but was going to add the opendns.com dns address's.. since you are already working on this wanna just add that to it?
somone please make it
You bet! I'll add in the OpenDNS servers. Just shoot me the IP's. I'm a little swamped at work this morning (taking a 5 minute breather as it is), so I'll do it for sure this afternoon.
EDIT: NM, I went and got the IP's... I'll be working on this in a bit!

excellent, you da man!
I'm almost there too..
I need to figure out how the username/password for the access points are saved. If they're a registry key, I'm not sure which one. The CAB file I created as a test for isp.cingular works though, just no creds for the access point.
Hopefully I'll have it figured out soon..

Thing is, I'm not so sure those are registry entries. If they are, where do they go? It doesn't follow the formats of the XML files in the other Extended ROM cabs.
Plus, why wouldn't I find registry entries for the UN/PW?
I'm going to do some more work on this. It's baffling, but I'll figure it out. I think there's something more to it, but I'm just not sure what yet at this point.
I've looked at this a little bit more. I understand what I need to do, but, because I don't understand everything involved completely, I don't think I'm going to be able to do it right away. I need to do some reading and understanding.
If someone else (IE a dev) can create the XML script needed, the rest is gravy. Thing is, it looks like it's actually an XML script that does the provisioning. I'm just not sure what calls it or how.
That's what I"m going to try to figure out..
yeah, i wanted to play around with this but ran out of time this weekend.. i was gonna try just to create the reg entries in a cab and install it to see what happens.. aint gonna hurt to try but im at work now and dont have time to mess with it... let me know what you come up with
I'll definitely keep you updated. I know the reg entries I pulled seemed to create everything properly. They just don't have the creds for the access point.
I may post those for now until I can figure out how to get the creds incorporated. I know it can be done via XML, but I don't understand enough of how to do it yet.. A project for sure..

hang on... i know someone who may be able to help.....
Shogunmark - am assuiming you mean me? he he
well - it appears that the XML file is actually like a script - which is executed provided that the xml is called _setup.xml and packaged into cab file.
This page explains it all a lot better than I ever could (it's for exchange but the prinicpal is the same for adding anything to registry)...and god....me linking to a mikeysoft page....whatever next?
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/mobile/deploy/msfp_b.mspx
What I would recommend doing would be to add the access point name in manually - then go check the registry with resco or similar and see which keys are put in and where - from this you should be able to work out where in the XML the files go.
If not an existing section then we may need to do a little work to figure out the GUID of the section that is requried and build a small new section of XML to incoroprate it.

Basically what I am trying to do is provision the connections on my phone without having to first install HTC Network Wizard, Reboot, then run it and configure the connection and then reboot again.
I know that inside of HTC Network Wizard is the provision.zip file which I have unzipped and located the AT&T XMLs. They are formatted with what look like non-standard CSPs:
<characteristic type="CM_GPRSEntries">
<characteristic type="Cingular GPRS">
<parm name="DestId" value="{97626DCF-818F-4be1-AC7E-77DA1B01F145}"/>

<parm name="GPRSInfoValid" value="1"/>
<parm name="GPRSInfoAccessPointName" value="wap.cingular"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
Click to expand...

If I try to import them like a normal provisioning XML I will get an error. My guess is because the CSPs are non-standard, like "CM_GPRSEntries" and that only HTC Network Wizard knows how to import them. I may be off base here...but that's my guess.
How can I import these to provision my network connections, or is there another way, or a particular set of reg keys I can just import to get everything setup?
thx.
comparing that provxml to the one in the at&t rom dump, they are similar.
Code:
<!-- MODEM[GPRS]: MEdia Net -->

instead of importing the provxml, why not use the att settings cab, i think u can probably find the cab for it in alltheway's 4shared folder
Thanks Xtreme...you're right the files look very much the same. I downloaded the .CAB, extracted the .XML and it imported just fine.
I then took a deeper look between the two and it seems that my original one was formatted different ASCII. You can't see the difference if you open the XML in a browser, but you can if you open them in notepad.
I converted my original to proper ASCII and it now imported!
I guess the HTC program can deal with different types of ASCII formatting, but the 3rd party XML imported cannot.
thx again.
BTW...I'm writing a generic script, which is why I don't want to just use the .CAB, and need to figure out how to import XML.
Hi, please could someone point me in the right direction or tell me where I am going wrong.
I am trying to produce a cab that contains amongst other things the addition of some Browser Favourites and the removal of the default ones. I am using WinCE CAB Manager and currently trying to edit the PREXML Code.
I can add new Browser Favourites using the following code
<characteristic type="BrowserFavorite">
<characteristic type="Test URL">
<parm name="URL" value="URL Test" />
</characteristic>
When I try to remove the current ones such as Windows Live, HTC etc I use this code
<characteristic type="BrowserFavorite">
<nocharacteristic type="Explore Windows Mobile" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="BrowserFavorite">
<nocharacteristic type="HTC" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="BrowserFavorite">

<characteristic type="BrowserFavorite">
<nocharacteristic type="AccuWeather.com" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="BrowserFavorite">

So I use the nocharactristic type which then allows me to save code but then the CAB file will not install. They refuse to go. Where am I going wrong?! Thanks
I'm getting there, slowly: Self-cabbed "CMIS 1.2.2.0" doesn't act as Access Point
this question goes out the seasoned cracks here.
i've never cooked my own rom, but let's call me an advanced user with a profound technical understanding.
i've noticed that the packages of the Topaz-Sense 2.5 don't include the mobile wifi router. so i thought "let's download a leo-package and make a cab out of CM Internet Sharing 1.2.2.0".
so far so good, the cab itself is installing fine, the program is running and everything is working as it should be. (auto-starting wifi & data-connection)
except:
it's not acting as an access point. after a few seconds i get the notification that various wifi-networks have been discovered, as if i just turned wifi on. (can't connect to them)
after an evening of lots of trial & error, error, error, error i think it's either that i'm missing some reg-setting here OR v1.2.2.0 doesn't play with sense 2.5.20113030. (the cab from assassinslament, v1.1.x.x, is not working as well)
i'm running Touch-IT BT - manila 2.5.20113030 - Build 24001 v1.1
these are the reg-settings i'm applying in the cab.
am i missing something?! any help, even a hint in the right direction would be really appreciated!

*bump*
come on, anybody? pretty-please?
could it be the version of comm-manager? reg-settings are the same as in the app.reg from the leo-package)
i've searched a lot of forums for this, but except a lot of "not working for me" and "thanks, this cab worked" i can't find any detailed info. (freaking idi..s with their "i just want it to work, how - i don't care"-attitude... )
I had sort of the same error you are having with the Wifi router, i found out that it says it is broadcasting and everything, but the fact is that is isn't broadcasting at all and i have no clue how to get it to broadcast, it's like the app thinks it is transmitting a wifi signal but it isn't doing anything. I had it on several roms on which I installed the CMwifiRouter. some of them working, and some don't. I gave up on it because i just don't get it.
that's exactly my point:
it's not "overtaking" the wifi-adapter completely and starts to broadcast, but there is some initialization going on, because the adapter is "blocked" and doesn't work in it's usual way. (can't connect to the networks found; my personal favorite at the moment is that it has something to do with the ip-setting)
i've tried the original cab by tom_codon as well and it doesn't work with this rom either. so i think some setting in the reg-key of the wifi-adapter isn't right for it to work.
i've downloaded jerpelea's latest leo-kitchen, but i haven't found a reg/xml/setup-file yet which shows the "system-settings".
looks like if i really want to get this working, i have three choices:
wait until/if itje adds this to the next version OR flash another rom to see if it's included OR read the guide and install this kitchen and see if i can find the setting inside.
obviously all three make more sense than this thread...
alright, after a few more days doing other stuff i came back to this one. (come on, 198 views and nothing?! )
i'm one step further - i can connect if i:
- enable wifi-sharing
- on my phone go to wifi-settings and manually connect to a new network
- name: "MobileWiFi" (that's how i've named it in WifiRouter)
- connection-type: ad-hoc
- type in the password
- let it connect (to itself?! ^^)
NOW i can see it as an access-point on my computer and tether my wifi.
i have to do this every time i want to use it again.
that's a nice workaround alright, but not how it's supposed to work.
(i really want to solve this, drives me mad not knowing why... ^^)
question:
is CMIS dependend on another "package" which has to be compatible so it creates this adhoc-point by itself?
also noticed the following:
- normally my wifi-adapter is set to: "use server-assigned ip-adress"
- after starting wifi-router this get's changed to a specific ip-adress: "192.168.1.1" and subnetmask "255.255.255.0". i understand that this is due to the phone now acting as a router, right?
- after stopping wifi-router this is reset to server-assigned
