Hey there
I was trying a lot of different ROMs for my Blackstone the last month and I always used PIM Backup to save my contacts and my calendar. I tested some of duttys 6.5 LEO Rom but decided to go back to his final 6.1 ROM (V4.3) because this one was allways working great for me.
It still works like a charm and is rock stable but the Facebook contact Pictures get not updated. I wonder if I can completly clean this picture "cache"?
I flashed several times and it didn't solve the problem. So I think there must be a registry entry or a folder which I can delete to get rid of the old pictures or even start from scratch with adding pictures (manually or by facebook)
Thx for your help

He is right works fine, no probs. Dare, and you will get a better performance with some progis eg SCLPC Cube as the original on my friends Touch.
Touchscreen sensivity is better and it is a lot larger than his. If you try to use it with ugly fat little fingers you really get the funktion you want instead of popping up everything what is nearby when your finger left the surface.
The best thing on all of it is: It´s all in here. Use the search buttons, (both of them) and if it seams as if it is not---ask and you get help, that´s for shure.
I believe,Himas are ifone killers. And thank you, to all those heroes, who make this possible and let it happen. I think, I´ve got a long list of names for donations.
BTW: It is nice to be importand --- but is is more importand to be nice.
Hi everyone I'm new to this forum.
I got this problem with the diamond, when I try to open "people" on touchflo, the manila.exe restart all the interface without the possibility to open favorite contacts. I have 1.93 italian rom and ..25.05 radio version.
I need to know How to update touchflo without upgrading rom if possible or simpler replace with a brand new the file/s for "people".
Thanx
Cheers

im trying to restore to defaults using tf3d config see if it fixes the problem...
nope...didnt fix it =/
I had a similar problem. That time it was related to the assigned contact pictures. Try reassigning or removing the pictures of those contacts you have saved as favorites in the Contacts applicatio. That fixed it for me.
Hi all,
I've googled a bit for this, but can't find a decent answer. What I'm looking for is a way to back up not just my contacts etc, but also settings, installed programs and the like, that will work across an OS upgrade to WM6.1
Basically I'm running an Orange WM6.0 ROM, and want to upgrade, but don't want to have to reinstall all my various programs, connection settings, SMSs etc etc.
Spb backup now claims that it works across ROM upgrades - does that stretch to OS upgrades? Any other way of doing it?
You need a program that will do a full system backup. I used to use Sprite and have recently switched to SPB and it really works wonders.
mmm... I looked in more detail and it looks like spb doesn't work when you upgrade the ROM... what it can actually do is a system restore. Any other ideas?
they're all really predicated on restoring things based on the same rom or saving you from a hard reset. nothing is going to plug back your installed programs, or else projects like the SASHIMI to sleuth's SDconfig would have no point.
there are programs like PIMbackup that will save contacts and the like, but nothing will bring force and upgraded rom to look and work exactly like a previously fully-installed-to-your-liking rom

Not true. It's not recommended but it doesn't mean that it can't be done. I just upgraded to another ROM and pulled a backup from a previous ROM and used the "ROM upgrade option" which worked great.
Fair point bravo; I was really wondering whether it was possible to (for example) save the connection settings to avoid me having to go through that palaver again. SMS's and outlook data are saved by most programs; and I can reinstall most other programs without too much difficulty.
Not to worry - thanks for the help
Hi everybody
I have upgraded to the official HTC WM 6.1 ROM... and I did not like that much.
naturally I wanted to change to another ROM, so I opened PIM Backup 2.8, and tried to create a backup of my contacts and SMSs ...
the Problem is the is NO "NEXT" button...
I can't complete the backup process...
and I don't want to risk using ActiveSync... I had all my contacts deleted once because of it.
PIM backup works in restoring info.. but I can't get it to backup
I have been searching the forum for the last three days to find a solution...but digging in through 94 pages of the same topic gave me nothing but headaches
I might have missed something....if so... Please share with me...
thanks in advance
P.S: I found that the device became a bit unresponsive after restoring my contacts ans SMS using PIM backup on WM 6.1, does anybody have something like that?
I could be talking out of my **** (wouldn't be the first time ), but I seem to remember reading somewhere on the forum that you need to disable the Threaded SMS before running PIM backup - assuming you've left it "ON" which is the default for WM6.1?? You can use Schaps' Advanced Config to disable it.
PIM backup works on my WM6.1 ROM (Garmin.DK.3 - Threaded SMS turned off) - have you tried just ticking the Contacts and not the Messages to see if the Next button is enabled then??
Mark.
yeah, I have tried that before, and it did not work for me
I'll try search the registry and delete anything related to PIM Backup... then use it again...
BTW, I love your signature
I just updated my Tilt to 6.1 and found out after I did that the Sprint backup that comes with the Tilt has to be upgraded. I had to hard reset my phone and start over. You can get the newer version from HTC for free as an upgrade. The problem I had was with the Tilt saying my email accounts were locked and none of the fixes would work, but I read other post about other problems as well.
I'm using HyperDragon III pro ROM, and the problem is still there...
any ideas?

Have you posted on the PIMbackup thread (here) - if not, you could try that?? If you have, and you've got no (satisfactory) response, you could always email Fred - DotFred - via his website.
Not wishing to cast aspersions, but, have you gone down the RTFM route - the PIMbackup user guide is on www.dotfred.net if you haven't already got it.
One last thing.....you could check out the tutorial from @scotchua's signature (link here) - which suggest that PowerSMS may also work. There's a 14-day unrestricted trial on the website here.
That's me all out of ideas - hope this lot gets you where you wanna be

Hi I don't know if I'm a little bit off-topic so please be kind to me ;-)
I love the great work all the cooks and their supporters do here, I would hate my Diamond if there wouldn't be any custom ROMs (maybe).
But updating to the newest releases is always a little pain. Because all the Preferences get lost every time. I got some experience with PIM backup, but my problem is that I don't know exactly what files to backup.
I'm using the Gen.Y D2 (win 6.1 + Sense 2.1) ROMs
What I want to backup is:
E-Mail Account Setup (the Mails are not so important, they are changing every day anyway)
Start Menu – Program Shortcuts
Ringtone Settings
WLAN Settings
Opera Site Passwords
Sense Weather Settings City
Sense Tabs (Order etc.)
Device ID
Owner Informations
Ring Tones etc.
Thumbcal Preferences
any other important things?
Thank you for your Help!
roms are not unique
and you downgrade the same way you upgrade
so if you don't like the rom you try out you just flash it with the offiical rom you got now and your back to where you started
