I want to use Notepad or whatever to populate in bulk the "XT9 my words" list then update them on the phone.
Is this possible?
I have rooted the phone but its otherwise stock, though I want to do it for someone else's phone without rooting it if possible as well...

As always, another newb question. If there is a thread for this already, please let me know.
I need some more space for software. Mainly because I need for these to start on every boot and are today add ins. How can I remove some HTC extras I don´t need? For example:
1. The audio manager which I don´t like at all
2. The voice dial feature which I never used because I´m more into voice Command.
3. The Zip program which I replaced with Resco explorer
4. The old home pluggin which I replaced with Battery Status.
5. The Dialer skin which I replaced with the original WM6, which I consider better.
If I have to do this manually, its fine, I just need to know where to go and what to get rid of.
Thanks Guys.
Not too sure
I'm not too sure if this would work, but if you could find cab files of the programs you want to remove, and install them (stay with me) I would guess it would overwrie the files, and also allow you to remove them from the add/remove programs window under settings. I know for me, that worked when I updated Live Search from 1.0 to 2.0 and then deleted it. Give it a shot, what do you have to lose?
It could
It does sound reasonable. The question would be where to get these cab files. Anybody know where?
Though there is a strong posibility it won´t work. Some of these programs are upgrades. For example, I installed the new x button feature I found here as an upgrade. When I uninstalled the upgrade, it automatically returned to the old version. I tried it because I wanted SPB pocket plus to be my close button software. Tried it too with the Audio Manger installing the upgrade found here and the same happened.
Thanks.
1. to 4 are in ROM, you carn't just delete it.
5. Delete reg keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PhoneCanvas & set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled=0, it should then return to the default windows mobile dialer. This file has a backup of the key just in case you want to restore it.
You can remove 1 - 4 if you cook your own rom, have a search in the forums.
I have searched w/o results.
When deleting a file on my storage sd card, I simply hold the styles down on it and select "delete". Is it that simple or is there another place it is stored that I need to go remove? The reason I ask is that being a new tilt owner, I am trying out different program/files to see which ones I want to keep. So I am adding and deleting files. I do understand that if it is a file that I am wanting to delete, I need to go to add & remove programs etc. Just looking for a way to COMPLETLY remove a file or program from my tilt once I decide to remove it w/o doing a hard reset.
Also seems like most of the time I check task manager on the top right corner, I noticed that the act syn is running, how do I keep this from running in the background. I keep stopping it but it seems to running when I check it later. I do have kaisertweak installed.
thanks

deleting e file and removing a program are two different things. wich one u are asking about?
deleting a file!
Just want to make sure of how to completely delete a file?
Windows Mobile is not like the desktop versions of Windows when it comes to deleting. The file is not sent to any sort of recycle bin. Once you delete it in the way you described, it is gone.
Thank you for your response
Scott
Resco explorer adds a "recycle bin" feature when u remove items using the program if you want one
Hi guys,
So last night I dropped my phone. The screen is totally messed up and unuasable. However I really need to save some of the text I have on it. Ideally I would like to use some kind of remote desktop application which allows me to view my phone's screen. I can connect to activesync, but syncing doesn't work 100% (it has never). I can explore the device though. So are there any files that contain my texts? And how do I transfer my contacts?
Bottom line: I want all my texts and all my contacts!
I really hope you guys can help!
(search!!! search!!! search!!!)
(wow after typing that word so many times, it stops looking like a word...weird huh?)
anyway, i have NEVER personally tried what i am about to recommend but from the numerous threads about this topic right here on xda (hence the suggestion to search vigorously), i gather "mymobiler" will suit your requirement for a remote desktop application for the pocket pc...
NEXT, if mymobiler works for you, then look for "pimbackup" right here on xda (hence the suggestion to search vigorously) and install it on your device and run it to back up your contacts and texts in a form easily suited for restoration to another device (the restore operation is also achieved from pimbackup)
FINALLY, further searching will reveal to you that some files in the root of your device's storage contain your contacts, texts, and emails (i believe "pim.vol" is one of those files). however, i'm not sure if overwriting the pim.vol (and other such files) on your new/repaired device will work without problems if your intent is to restore your texts and contacts by this method...you should use pimbackup instead
c'mon dude! search is your friend!
So I've been diligently managing a pretty pristine outlook contact list that im pretty satisfied with. I've been syncing back and forth via bluetooth (usb port went bad about a year ago).
Recently i reformatted and reinstalled windows 7 on my computer. I did not back up my contacts on the computer because they are on the phone and figuring i'd get them on the re-sync (which I've done before). Unfortunately In that short time period I managed to smash my phone touch screen up pretty good, making things more difficult (and a lack of tap and hold). I cannot for the life of me get the two to sync up to each other via active sync. They pair together fine and send files back and forth to each other, but cannot get them to sync to each other. In the past i've just gone on the phone active sync > connect via bluetooth and then it starts doing its thing in windows mobile device center... Whenever I do it now I get the message
"cannot connect using bluetooth to a pc that supports active sync. you may be out of range. it then asks if i would like to create a different partnership with a pc."
I've obviously created a new pair, turned on visibility and discovery on both pc and phone. Each time it gives me that error message about creating a new pair.
A couple of side notes.
-I have some thoughts that it might be a conflict with the new and old bluetooth pairing but i cannot delete the old one due to the lack of touch screen for the tap and hold. (perhaps there is a way to do this on the hard keyboard)
-I could give a crap about the phone, I've already got a new one. I just want to preserve my contacts.
-I've made a pim backup and a sprite backup of pertinent info but its my understanding that both of these only work with my phone and not outlook, not to mention only my specific rom version.
What is the easiest way to proceed to salvage my contacts?
Sorry for the rather long post on a familiar and oft rehashed question but I couldn't find the answering in any other posts and wanted to be pretty clear with my post.
first of all, since you have made a pimbackup of contacts, your data is SAFE no matter what ROM or which windows mobile device you have! the sprite backup, on the other hand, CAN be specific to your ROM/device depending on exactly what you chose to back up.
so you can always restore the pimbackup archive to a good working windows mobile device (borrow a friends?) and sync up that device with your desktop.
with that out of the way...lets see...you've got a bad screen? i would suggest using a "remoting" tool (like mymobiler)...but i think mymobiler requires a working activesync over usb...but you say your usb port is screwed?
if you can use the screen just enough to install "wifi remote access 1.7" and configure it and enable WIFI, then you can remote control your device using the relevant functionality of "wifi remote access 1.7" from the browser on your desktop, assuming you have a WIFI network at home.
with the screen hurdle out of the way, i suppose it would make your ability to configure things on the device a bit more possible. for starters, even though you have used pimbackup, also install microsoft myphone and upload your contacts there as well. while you're at it, you can mess around with activesync on your device some more to try to get it to sync.
BUT! i think the problem might be on your recently refreshed desktop. i hear windows mobile device center should be upgraded because an update is available.
if all else fails, you can use pimbackup to create a "non-binary" archive (the style is configurable during the backup wizard use case). this non-binary archive is actually a zip file containing a csv file (comma separated values). so you can rename the archive to "something.zip", extract the zip on your desktop and use microsoft excel to open the extracted csv file. here, you will get an easy to edit file with your contacts laid out over rows/columns.
Hi, as the title implies I'm trying to recover critical password and account data (Yahoo and Windows live, either/or) from an HD7 before doing a factory wipe so I can re-insert these passwords/data since the user has long since forgotten these, yet as the HD7 sits it isn't connecting to the internet and he cannot get into his accounts (yahoo and windows live, both use each other as a backup, and both have the same password- I told him this was stupid..how is he supposed to recover the PW if he forgets it, as he has FFS). Unless I can find an option to change the password within the HD7, that is if it will connect again, the only other way he is going to recover these accounts is if I can unlock the phone and retrieve files directly from the SD card..I assume these files would be backed up in user folders somewhere possibly readable by notepad? Hopefully not encrypted.. if anyone can point me to where they are, I am researching how to retrieve the files from this particular phone (my first WP7 phone...I much prefer Android I have come to learn, and HTC too, S-on/S-off, I have a lot to learn). If not, is there a way to change one of the accounts' pwd's FROM the phone, provided I can get it tethered or the WiFi begins to act correctly? I can't make heads or tails of the UI and the menus/lack thereof? (it's like an android phone without the 'settings' soft key!)
If this has been tackled before, I apologize, but a search turned up mixed and irrelevant information.
Thanks!
