I found this in another area of the xda-developers forums, thought it might be worth sharing here, as i havent seen it mentioned here yet, apparently you can use it without it clogging up your contacts with loads of emails. i will try it now,
I have also put a copy of this on my own server in case it goes walkies.

Working !!
Hi guys,
just tried on Meschle's Touch 1.0 and after reboot my device didn't boot up,
i had to reset. But after reset i just installed (without making changes on my device) and it worked.
Maybe it's because i installed HTC Home 2.0.xxx ? I don't know...
It really works. Now when you setup your account you have the option to choose if you want to add the contacts to the phone-contacts. Great work ! That was worth to reset my device
Thanks a lot !
Thanks for this, I'll give it a try, was a right mess with all the contacts being added to my contact base on old version.
I tried this and got an error about "wlmsetup.exe is not a valid pocketpc application". Upon reboot WLM kept stating no Internet connectivity. I removed it and went to re-install. It now won't install at all and just comes up stating install was unsuccessful. I now have no WLM at all on my Orbit and hence have no e-mail.
I am hoping it can be easily solved without a hard-reset as can do without re-installing all my apps etc.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Wlm is better cooked in the rom - by cab install seems to slow device down. My new rom has this cooked in but an even newer build 10.6.31.2600!
Tested. You get tick box to say if you want to merge your contacts. I decide not to merge my contacts – naturally. Works fine on my Oribit - WM6.
didn’t notice a slowing down. But I am using P4.1 touch.
Thanks joey jojo
This ain't 10.6.0031.1600
I have downloaded several versions which intend to be 31.1600 but after installing it says it is version: 10.6.0030.2100
Does this also work on the Hermes?

I currently have about 30 programs installed on my mobile. I would like to simplify the installation process of these after a Hardreset. Is it possible to mrge them into one single Cab which will install all of the applications? Or will they then show up as only one item in the software list if I do this?

no you can't !
U can use a back up utility like sprite(Free with THD don't know about Xperia) or resco backup. Create a backup after installing all the apps U need and save it as a executable backup or as a back up set on the card. u can copy it in ur desktop also. Now anytime after a hard reset u can install those backed up apps without any other data. of course it may not work if U flash a new ROM etc.
One thing you can try is to look to see how UC works and set your cabs up that way..
You can then run it manually, copy sdconfig to /windows and run it. this way you should be able to manually run UC after installing any rom (even if it doesn't support it such as stock roms).

Im not a Cook so i dont really know how to 'cook' that thing to rom/device..
Just my 2cents, im very frustrated with re-installing all my apps everytime i upgrade to a newer version of rom. It's just pain in the ass.. Maybe the cookers can 'kindly' include the baby above in the rom. That's going to save the user alot of trouble..

main problem with cooking uc in is that it massively increases the amount of 'bugs' in a rom:
99% of the time they're down to 3rd party software and having stuff installed blindy makes things worse...
if you can get it running manually (after you've tested a new rom for a bit) then why not do that? it'll only take one click then...
I just got a Tilt 2 from ATT. One of the first anoying things I've noticed is that when I configured Windows Live, that I could not choose which folders to sync. Before, I could go into Hotmail (once I've configured in Windows Live) and then go to Menu --> Tools --> Manage Folders (I believe that was the option). From there I could select which folders I wanted to sync. Now, when I click on Menu, I don't see any option for this. So, I can only read the email in my inbox and I cannot read the email in Junk or any other folder.
If anyone knows a work around for this, I would appreciate it.
I had the same issue on my T-Mobile TP2 when I used the T-Mobile upgrade to 6.5. I made same request and someone told me to run the upgrade again. Oddly enough it worked. I don't know if you can find the ATT 6.5 ROM, but if you can, try to give that a shot or maybe even a hard reset.
I don't know why, but it did work for me.
Thank you. I think that I will use the homecooked ROM on this site. If I'm going to reimage this thing, I might as well be for an improvement.
Problem solved. I downloaded Windows Live services from Microsoft's website and installed it. Once the install finished I got all my old school options. Looks like the default one does not work.

You can use that link to download it to your phone, or PC first, either will work.
Another fix
If you turn off HTC Sense (or 3D flow, what ever you want to call it) then you can make these adjustments to Windows Live.
Hello people,
Today i was trying to install apps in my Trophy, but not success, always give me an error, it´s unlocked with chevronwp7 and when i trying to deploy any app, give me a connection error...
Now, i´m trying to run any app installed in or go to Marketplace and i can´t start any application, trying to download and install some and not success...
Any idea?
Regards
This kind of bugs make me nuts...
Just work with Restore factory this bug...
Any idea why i cant get connection with deploy tools?
Regards
if you find zune/market place not loading up, restart your phone. it is a bug related to both products. you do not need to reset your phone, only restart it. hopefully MS fixes it.
as for getting errors, if they're data intensive apps like facebook/twitter, they may not work accordingly if there is a data issue with your carrier (as i've been experiencing with mine quite frequently lately).
as for the op statements, sometimes zune goes down, so you should just try again in a few hours.
Dear internet community,
i would like to adress my problems concerning the installation of Xposed and GravityBox on my Fairphone. You must know that this is my very first smartphone and i dont really know how to use them yet. But i know that i would like to be able to change my Locksreen wallpaper, whích is the only intention for me to try to install Xposed in the first place.
So lets get to the nuts and bolts:
Firstly i tried to "unroot" my phone (of which i dont have any clue what that might mean), but the program i used (universal unroot) gave me this message upon trying: "please allow root access now. If you cant allow root access your device is most likely not rooted". At this point i dont know if i am able to allow root acess to that program, which ist rediculous in itself since this program should allow me to do that in the first place. I checked in the settings but couldnt find anything that looked like root access.
The next step was to install Xposed (version 2.6.1 and then 2.7 both with the same result). After the installation and the reboot, Xposed states unter the "Framework" category that: "the latest version of Xposed is currently not active (my app manager tells me it is). Did you install the framework and reboot?". Again i did the reboot and i installed it. If try to go further into the Framework menu and press the "install/update"-button it tells me: "failed to get root access. make sure your device is rooted properly and you have not blocked shell commands".
My question now is: do you have a solution for my problem? I would be very thankfull and appreciative if you would offer me a solution, since my intentional desire of changing the Lockscreen Wallpaper is such a small thing that it is quite hillaours as to how much effort has to be put in to change this small detail. Please dear community, help me out!
With kind regards
Alex

First of all: I see no point in "unrooting" my device. Since you said, you don't have any clue what that might mean, maybe this helps.
The term "root" is comparable to the "admin rights" on your computer. Some people do not need those rights. But If you don't need it just don't use it. If you "unroot" your device, what you do is, you throw away those admin rights. I don't see why you want to do this. The only reason which comes to my mind, is if you want your manufacture to repair your phone using your warranty. They basically don't like it if your phone is rooted, and say it violates the warranty conditions. But then again: fairphone comes pre-rooted, so having root does not void the warranty of your fairphone.
Usually if a program wants to have those root(/admin) rights, a screen pops up where you have to confirm that the app might use those rights.
If you want to know for what root rights can be good for, just google "rooting android" or something like that to read up on that topic.

Seems like you are actually unrooted. To use xposed and all its cool modules you need to have root rights. Unrooting your phone to use xposed is just contra productive. Maybe install SuperSU to re-gain root rights. But maybe you need to re-flash your OS.

Wait, what? Did I understand correctly, that you unrooted your phone to use an app that requires root so that you can change your lockscreen background?
Dude, you can do this in the settings without any root/unroot/xposed stuff.
As you said it is just a small detail, and such a standard feature, so it would be CRAZY if you need to go through such a hassle.
Just go into settings and somewhere in the display or lockscreen settings you can choose a background (you might need to disable the mood background for this). I do not have my fairphone anymore, so I cannot tell you where exactly that option is. Maybe someone else can point to the the exact location of that setting.

I can't find any option for a different lockscreen image on my FP - only normal background image (wich is then also used for lockscreen, if I have mood background disabled). So I would also suggest GravityBox, which seems to be a too complex topic for your first smartphone ever...

I know that this option is there. I had a custom lockscreen background (without using some xposed module like gravitybox). I will check with a friend who has a Fairphone, and tell you where the setting is.
I am sorry. Apparently I was mistaken. Changing the lockscreen background to a different wallpaper than the homescreen background seems not to be possible. You can just choose between mood background or not. I thought I had two different backgrounds while I had my Fairphone, but seems like I was wrong. sorry
Why is this not implemented? What I know for sure is that is a feature in CM and and Samsungs stock android version. I do not know about AOSP android.
Thanks for your feedback, Hyst!
I second your question about the missing implementation, but that's quite in a row with some other phone's stock features I am missing on the FP - e.g. a more solid gps, special character search in contacts and some other things other phones can do. Then I remember, Fairphone is still quite new on the market and neither has the experience nor the financial background to act like e.g. Samsung would do. And taken that into account, I'm sure they will grow with the requirements...

So atm the only viable solution that i could find is to reflash the Android of my phone. I tried to but the installation progress aborts itself so i am not able to reflash atm. The Fairphone support team got a mail from me, so lets wait and see.

Now in a later post of yours you said that it is not possible. But i qould like to go into why i unrooted my phone. I was watching a Video from this site and misunderstood what has been said. I unrooted my phone, thinking that this would be necessary to make Xposed work. By that time i didnt really know how all of this works. I know its a rookie mistake and a "stupid" one, but i learned something and i am okay with it.
The next task now is to reflash my phone. Maybe you guys have an idea as to why it wont work: I followed the instructions on the Fairphone website and it still aborts during installation.
Edit: I am not allowed to linkt external websites, so i cant give you the video and fairphone installation guide links.

Hope I didn't get it completely wrong but just wanna throw in another idea: why don't you reset your phone to factory settings? Reflashing it sounds like a lot of work for a beginner like you.. (Didn't do it either)
Since the phone is/was rooted from release on, resetting it should do the charme, imo. If you don't have a lot of files to lose I'd try that.
PS: really funny how complicated it got for you since your main intention was to change the lockscreen wallpaper )

Thanks for the link, i will try that in the meantime
PS: That, unfortunately, didnt do the trick
Edit2:
Since the Fairphone support hasn't replied yet, i tried another solution, but i need to ask you guys for help. I was following the instructions in the Fairphone wiki under the "How to restore Fairphone if you totally bricked it" topic. All the necessary files and programes are downloaded. Now when i choose the scatter file of the fairphone binarys the program gives me this message: "Error initialising scatter file failed. Please check the name of scatter file which you load is legal". if i press the download button the program gives me this message: "Download list is empty, please select a scatter file before executing"
I really dont get this. The fairphone binarys are supposed to work with this program, yet they are not. Can anyone help? Is there something really pbvious i have overlooked?

I don't think you need to go through that mouch trouble as you're still able to use your phone (if I understood that correctly).
How about re-installing the Fairphone software from recovery? There's a nice guide on how to do that at:
fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202478028-Manually-install-Fairphone-OS-software-update-version-Cherry-1-6
Afterwards the superuser binaries should be back and you will have root access again.

Thanks for the hint, but that exact process does not work, since the update aborts itself giving an error message but not specifiying on which error exactly cause it to abort... I am frustrated at this point.

Which Fairphone model do you have? If it's the old one (from last year's batch), did you already use the repartitioning tool to "unify" your internal storage? Which update did you try to apply (exact filename)?

Its the second Batch phone, so the FP1U. I tried it with almost any OS given on the homepage. Those are the ones i tried:
OTA_AOSP-4.2.2_2014-08-05.zip
Fairphone_FP1_OS_v1_6_OTA_2014-07-31.zip
Fairphone_Cherry_1.6_FUSE_Image_2014-07-31.zip
Fairphone_FP1_OS_1G13G_v1_6_OTA_2014-07-31.zip
The Fairphone updater tells me that my phone is running the "Chenpi" version 1.5 which i cannot find on the hompage (thats strange isnt't it?)
What else could be done here?

Applying that one from recovery clearly should have worked. I've even used it myself with my (already repartitioned) first batch phone.
If you want to be sure the .zip file you downloaded is not corrupted, compute its MD5 checksum. If you're under Windows, use a tool like heise.de/download/md5summer.html
Under Linux, just use md5sum <filename>
The checksum should match the one found on Fairphone's software update page: 664ca09368a4c922a12dc2526afe092b

1.5 is the version your phone was shipped with, I think. As they issued the update to 1.6 just a few days after the new phones started shipping, I guess they thought putting only the new image up on their website was enough.

The awesome support Team worked something out and my phone is finally rerooted! Now, i have installed Xposed, rebooted it, installed Gravitybox, rebooted it and both programs are working fine. After some fiddling around it finally has worked!! For most of you it might seem to be a small thing and really not that important, but for me it is. Honestly the only two things i really use to personalize the phone is the Wallpaper / Lockscreen and the WakeupCall ringtone.
Thank you so much for all of your support and patience!
