Full backup - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi,
I'm trying a lot of ROMs.
What I don't like is, after I installed the rom I have to configure my regional setting, mail setting. When I decide to go back to my previous rom I have to redo al the setting again.
Is there a way, to make a full backup, (Rom, setting, data) of the diamond.
Thanks
Jos

You may want to research/try Sashimi or UC.
Some other alternatives are SPB backup or SKTools.
Check out what their individual strengths and weaknesses are and find out what works best for you. Good luck!

Thanks,
Sashimi look good. I'm try it.

I use SPB Backup trial

Thanks
Thank you!
PIM Backup works just as good and does call logs, appointments, etc.. might want to look that one up too.
I know ppmbackup but it has a problem: in order to backup sms you need to backup all kind of messages you have, including e-mails. I think "jeyo sms backup" backup just the sms's.
Uh, you can backup or NOT backup whatever you want with PIMBackup. Might want to look into it. It's a great program.
PIMBackup is a lot better than SMS Backup and have many backup options. Just select the right options and it will make the selective backup for you nicely.
Get the latest one PIMBackup 2.5
Whether supports PIM Backup start with parameters, for example, with parameter " - MakeBackup "?

Cab-file for standard set-up

On my Trinity I am trying many of the new ROMs. Backup doesnt help much.
Is it possible to make a cab-file who installs the few programs I allways use (cabs), and copy the ringtones and alarms and themes to their right places? Also maybe delete the ringtones I dont need as well. This would save me much time each time I change ROM.
Also I am looking for norwegian spellchecking, independent of what ROM I use.

[UTIL] SPBbackup2 how to change ROM and re-instal everything in one clic !

Hello all,
you're like me and love to try severals Diamond ROMs on this forum ?
You're tired of re-instal every apps, wifi and other settings after ROM upgrade, me too !
I wasn't a SPB backup user, I used Sprite backup.
A few days ago, I read on a french forum ( before I forget, THANKS Bepe to make fabulous french ROMs ! ) about some new modes in SPB backup 2 software :
ROM and Device Upgrade Modes !!!
What ? Is it possible ?
So last night I try it, I have done a full backup of the official HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05 ROM with all my favorites ( S2U2, TF3D config, Second Today, Ringo, Resco explorer and registry, Schaps advanced config, batti ) and many others ) apps and settings.
Just after flash to 0.98 french Bepe ROM, I restore the auto exe backup and....
Dream come true !
ALL ( and really all ) my apps and settings are back on this new ROM, the only thing you have to do is to re-organise the windows start menu as you want ( this is the only setting who has not be restored for me ).
I don't have another HTC so I can't try the " device upgrade mode " who sounds very interesting too.
If you install on the PC, you can also browse a backup to take every file you want in it, very useful !
I don't know how they do that but they did it !
Infos and download : http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
P.S : Excuse me for my english " learn by myself by reading english forums " you know, I'm french and french people speak.... french lol
Great ! Seems to be interesting !
Over way to do (more tricky) is to create the famous SDConfig.txt, add all programs you want to install (and try to find any exe programs in cab ... snif), and create a registry cab too
So when you install your new rom, it will install the software (be carefull of not installing already include cab)
I think I will try this cause I'm really tired of spending lot's of time to set back my conf...
Hello " compatriote ",
I like your blog, add it to my favorites.
Making a registry cab seems to be hazardous and dangerous for the phone, there is huge registry differences between ROMs.
And SPBbackup 2 doesn't just restore your apps, but all your settings too.
For exemple Wifi wep key, bluetooth pairing, second today plugins, all are working after the first boot, so you can flash a ROM and restore everything in 15 minutes.
With official ROM, I have 17 Mos free storage, now with Bepe 0.98, 62 Mos, waouh !!!
Mixed feelings with the backup/restore
Hi 2 all!
I took a look at the program.
I have mixed feelings with the restore.
The program also backups the registry. When I use an other rom and restore the datas the registry entrys will also be restored..
I don't know if this is the goal.
What do other users think?
br,
Chris
Looks very interesting if the registry backup is not an issue on different roms (i think that it shouldn't be a real problem if you "just" upgrade the version of a rom)
Sprite backup also has upgrade mode, which I heard is not so good, and caused lots of problems.
SDconfig.txt is part of the UC compliant, which is working - as far as I know - only o Bepe's ROMs. Other Diamond ROMs does not support it. Am I wrong?
beware!
1.you had ROM X---made a backup including system files and registry for ROM X and it includes also some clutter and unwanted files that you accumulated after installing and uninstalling progs and so on...you know what i mean..
2.you are flashing ROM Y----it has a better, improved system files, new registry witch is cleaner, more compact, tweaks all the works to make it better than the old one, ROM X
3. you are restoring the ROM x backup over the ROM Y !!!!
it might work but practically you went back from ROM Y to ROM X.
in my humble opinion backup-restore system function should be used only to restore on the same ROM. for example you installed a bad app and you have to hardreset. use yr backup and yr are set in under 10 minutes!
using backup from one ROM on an another ROM? don't think it is a good idea!

I don't know how it works but ROM Y don't become ROM X, as I said before, with HTC official ROM, I have 17 Mos free storage, now with Bepe 0.98, 62 Mos free, with all my apps. And the overall speed of the bepe ROM is present, fastest than the original one.
I don't think to use this solution for my " final " ROM and ultimate Diamond installation, I prefer start from scratch, but waiting for the ROM I'll keep in my phone forever ( perhaps Bepe 1.0 ), with SPB backup solution I can try severals ROMs and have my complete Diamond in few minutes with no bugs.
Many users don't want to flash and beta-test because of this and wait for the others opinions, with this solution, everyone can try and feedback more quickly.

that's the best way to do it. don't bring the "dirt" from the old home to the new one
I also like to start from scratch... installing my personal data after.
as Punch said to Judy "that's the way to do it"
I used spb backup2 for a while now and flashed a couple of roms with it, but i noticed that it doesnt change the registry of the new rom back to old backup one. at least not everything. i noticed that with my weathersetting that i did with WDE. also other reg hacks i did to the old rom wherent present in the new rom. so this programs good for me. only must look out that you dont install double cabs when the programs in your backup ar already in your new rom.

So are you changing any of the options, for example "overwrite existing files"?

So, I wonder if your PPC was recognized by Active Sync as the old one...
I always have the problem that after installing a backup, active sync creates a horrible mess with double entries in outlook...
BTW: does anyone know a good (free) program for your desktop pc to delete double entries in Outlook (2007)?

I use SPB backup. Not sure if it does it all but it does the full ROM and you can select any folder and such to restore so should be possible

<HELP-QUESTION> installation script

taking in consideration that I flash my device with new ROM's once to twice a week, it always takes me a couple of hours to tweak my device as i want it.
So, can there be made a script with which I can specify which apps I want to install (when the device is prepared for its first use or even better when it is started for the first time so I can see which of the apps I want are already in the ROM) and where (either to the device or the storage card)?
If it can be done, can anybody help me with some pointers?
U can try SASHIMI
take a look here [REF] How-To: automate backup (inc. Manila conf) before a ROM upgrade using SASHIMI
and here [UC] User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using Sashimi
good luck
