hi , i need help ,
what can be used ? ...
for backup & restore .. the Full Contacts List ( each contact have phone+address info & notes ) , SMS (all sms inside inbox & sent-items) , Phone Call List (received/dialed/missed calls) ? along WITH date & time preserved & restored correctly .
my phone info : HTC Kaiser/Tilt : PocketPC, rom 1.62.502.0 01/17/08, radio 1.27.14.09, Qualcomm MSM7200 400Mhz, Ram 128MB, Flash 256MB, 32bit, Storage 124.91MB, External Stoarge Card SD 8 GB, 240x320px, 65K color, Win Mobile 6 Prof, CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4) .
IF i can Backup those Perfectly, only Then, i want to try out some of the ROM stuff that i see here shared my many.
Others may also try out different roms & apps, if those things (contacts, sms, PhonceCall) can be bkup & restored accurately.
i would prefer 1st free software solution, but if thats not able to do those required functions properly , only then go for a trial/paid version .
many many thanks.

after searching on ... SMS Backup ... found out ...
according to user, 'lie_ui', quoting from here ... " You can use the backup utility in your XDA to perform full back up of your device into an SD card. Once you hard reset your device, then you load back your backup from your SD card. If you use Outlook to sync email, calendar, contact, etc, there is also a third party software that would extend your Outlook to include SMS tab. That might be the best way to keep a backup copy of your SMS always. Forgot the name of the app, but if you search the topic in the forum, you will find it, many ppl asked about this before. Cheers, lie_ui " ... 14th March 2006, 03:00 PM.
quoting lie_ui again ... " Here is the application I mentioned above. The trial version is 15 days.. may be you can use it to backup and load it back before it expires.. http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp " ... 14th March 2006, 03:10 PM.
great .. found another solution here ...
PimBackup . thanks to user dotfred . it can backup & restore all of those ... excellent . and its FREE as well .
by using the PimBackup , i was able backup my stuff , and after upgrading the ROM from WM6 to WM6.1 , i was able to restore all as well ... excellent program . sms, contacts, phonecall log, appointments, speed-dials, etc .
but it did not backup email accounts or their settings . so did not restore either . but i didnt lost anything , as i was using emails in imap mode , so messages in 'inbox' & 'sent items' were fine on online email server . ~ Bry8Star .
PimBackup didnt backup the Favorites .. so backup those using some other way .
i got better result when i restored different options individually one by one .
ActiveSync :
if you are going to use ActiveSync after restoring by using the PimBackup ... ActiveSync will take you through new sync pairing process ... do that ... and quickly Stop the sync process , immediately when syncing starts ... since previously i've used the option of Replacing Mobile Device stuff on conflicting record/data , so i had to change that to Replace Desktop stuff on conflicting data/record .. or else i would have got everything Doubled up , after the sync .
* best is to ... keep PimBackup in the 'Storage Card' ... run PimBackup's backup process .. save the backup file(s) in your Storage Card .. and then set the ActiveSync option to "Replace Item on Desktop" ( ActiveSync -> Tools -> Options -> Options tab -> Settings button -> 'If there is a conflict:' ) . And then you can do ROM update or whatever else . And then restore 1st, using the PimBackup from the 'Storage card' , and then you may use ActiveSync . After the 1st time sync is done , then you can change that option back to "Replace Item on Device" .. if thats the way you want to keep/use it .

Restoring Backup to NTAF v6.0
I just installed NTAF's v6.0 ROM on my HTC Fuze and I'm having trouble restoring my info. I did a complete backup with Sprite to my SD card prior to flashing the ROM. After I flashed the ROM, I ran the Sprite .exe file and selected to restore everything but the systems files because I thought they might interfere with the new ROM. The only thing that I can find that has been restored are my notes. My favorites, contacts, texts, and e-mail are all still missing. How do I restore these things?
RESOLVED!
so im a total noob.. my issue is that when i wiped my sd card, i only repaired the partitions to ext instead of following the 2/3/4 order!
sorry!

Hello, fairly small question here from a fairly new guy to android modding
So i just installed "Zachattack052 & Xillius200's 2.1 Hero" ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670414
the issue here is that I cannot seem to run the market or gmail app .. it exits
So i assume its Gapps right? idk im a noob (but I have tried reading and working this out myself but no luck) .. I've reflashed Gapps and I'm just tinkering with the phone to see if I can get it to work.
is their something painfully obvious that im ignorant to?
I will remove thread once problem is resolved
- After I installed this ROM and Gapps I never did get the basic android screen to configure my GMAIL to the phone.
So here is what I've done:
application menu -> Setup -> configured my GMAIL account and set it to sync

SO this post probably makes me sound like some 12 year old that shouldn't be here anyways.. but just looking for some help- I used to have my brother do all of the Android/phone stuff for me so I know random bits and pieces of things.

Boot into recovery wipe everything partion ur sd 256 swap 512 ext and go all the way to ext 4 flash the 2.1 hero restart and bam
I've searched and haven't seen folks with this issue but here goes:
I've installed CM7 (daily release 3/22) on wifes phone (D1).
I've kept the default governor and set the max CPU to 700 (800 drained batterly life far too fast).
After a reboot or fresh install the phone operates smoothly as expected. After a day or two, the UI becomes quite laggy... alomost painfully so. I've tried two different versions of CM7 (I think the other was RC2 available through ROM manager) bot with similar results. I changed the governor to interactive and no difference.
Anyone else with these issues?
My DINC loves CM7... so thisis a bit dissapointing.
Try the supercharge link in my signature...
If she needs background apps running (music, 3rd party sms app) try the new script contained in v3
I have also encountered a rather odd issue with cm7 rc1
I'm on a htc desire s-off
baseband 32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27
kernel [email protected]#1
mod cm7.1.0-rc1-desire
build GRJ22
all system info is telling me I have 64mb of internal storage 1.1gig of external but when I come to download anythink of the market I get an error message [error while downloading "app name here" there is insufficient space on the device].
I am fairly new to flashing roms and have only done 3 in the past all without any trouble, but this has me dumb founded as it effectivly prevents me from installing anythink not even able to add via apk directly from sd any ideas?

I used this and it really has made my phone run smoothly. I run lots of apps and special affects that just tears through my memory if it isn't managed. I had to constantly kill apps before I could start other before I applied this. Only had it for a day but I see the difference.
@OP I'd give his supercharge a try.

So, after having installed the last few iterations of COS-DS (April 21st through May 1st) I cannot seem to get ADW EX installed or any other custom home application. It always ends with that the application cannot be installed. Yoshi RC6 and 7 haven't had this same issue and honestly I've never encountered it before. I've tried fix permissions, wiping caches, switching install location.
I also notice in the thread someone makes brief mention to this, but is replied to by Roalex as being fixed in the latest rom. (which at the time was April 26th)
Any Help?

I would think that is happenning becuz u have the default install location in sd-ext, so try installing it in the sysytem memory
As I noted, changing install location doesn't work. In fact, I don't use Sd-Ext and don't have the partition on my sdcard

Try doin a fresh install, wipe everything and reflash the rom.
EDIT: Before u do that. There is a known bug that still installs apps in the phone memory even though you set the ext partition as the default install location, so they wont install, they will only install if they are installed in the sd card. Are you sure you have an Fat32 partition and ext4 partition on your sd card?
did u click allow moving(COSsettings/Application)?
As I noted, I've tried reflashing the rom (I've done it multiple times for for each of the older and newer versions of the rom that I specified). Furthermore, I stated I don't ever do SD-EXT, the partition simply does not exist for my card. I find it buggy and nasty and quite frankly I should never need it if I have a responsible amount of apps for my phone.
One of the requirements for the rom is to have a ext 4 partition.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
number of reasons an app can't install
COS sets market d/l cache to /data/download
this could be the problem
when an app installs it looks at free space on data, and then takes away 10% of the total size
so assuming you don;t use custom MTD you have total data size around 90mb
adw is about 1mb (just over)
so 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
we add adw size twice because cos d/l the temp file to data
do you have enough space on data?
it could be something else
I use ADW Ex , and it was fine with COS
BUT I installed without wiping data
(later I deleted /sd-ext/data and /sd-ext/system to start fresh I use Firerat's ddb )
either way ADW Ex ran fine
how are you installing?
a logcat of what happens during install would be nice
I made a todo list
logcat is on it
I want to write a one stop guide to bring everyone up to speed on tools like adb, logcat, fastboot and compiling maybe throw in a totally basic Linux vm to do it all (some license issues with that , so don't hold me to it)
short version
adb logcat > alogcat.txt
cheat version

First of all, it's better to go with Froyo for now. GB builds aren't quite as stable. Plus, depending on which build / ROM you used, some features might not work properly if at all.
1. AFAIK USB storage does not work yet. Get froyo or use WM
2. download, as in thru Market or just the APKs? APKs are like CABs in WM, you have to install to use
3. Again possibly problem with the build you're using
Go and get FRX06 from the Topaz Android dev section and try that out. Most things work with it (except maybe HW3D). If you're feeling adventurous, google CWM ROMs. Tiad8 made a CWM version of FRX06. Available on his site at tiad8.com
Good luck mate~

Thank you for taking the time to reply .
I will try froyo out now , i put gingerbread on cause i taught it was faster and optimized , thats one of the main reason i want android cause Winmo is very very laggy and i hate it .
Dude, no need to start a new thread for relatively the same issue.
Also, try to add more relevant info as in, which build you downloaded, from where, what steps you followed etc.. easier to fix that way..
Anyway, fresh start.
1. Go to this thread
2. Get the BUNDLE (first link) in post number 4
3. Unzip the file to a folder called andboot
4. copy the folder the root of your SD
5. Edit Startup.txt in the folder with the options you need, sleep mode, overclock etc (refer to same thread, post #2)
6. Run HaRET..
There's no reason why your XDAndroid wouldn't run now. Since the FRX06 bundle has just about everything for first timers. Give a try and update here if you need anything..
