A good and useful program but after installation of this program configure it the setting immediately, if not then generate sms sending to netherland(+31 000 000000) where ever you are after several changes of your device owner information.
theft protect
i've configured it properly after installation, however, as a prepaid sim user, havn't edited the owner's info field, ive noticed my loaded credits were still being consumed by the program. I have uninstalled/removed from my ExtRom the Theft Protection program and the SMARTFilter as well.
Caution
The Caution should more specifically be "DON'T INSTALL PROGRAMS UNLESS YOU HAVE READ, RE-READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE DOCUMENTATION"!
I have run the Theft Protection successfully for several months now, and on pre-paid, with no errors. You are meant to update the CAB file BEFORE loading it into your Extended ROM. And the name field MUST be correct in both the CAB and the Phone, otherwise you trigger the trap.
Please people, not all tools on xda-developers are as harmless as this on, only costing a few sms's in money, some can quite easily kill your device if used incorrectly, so please take care with the downloads and make sure you understand the doc's. If you need help, or are feeling unsure, search the forums here for more information and failing that, ask in the forums for help, that is what we are here for.

READ, RE-READ AND DO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
thanks Pneuma.
And I thought that making a list that has to be sequentially followed would do the trick :wink:
btw: The +31000000000 is non-existent!
Hi all have a new HTC Niki, have memory card and now wanting to tamper without causing damage. How do i do a reliable backup of all things i need to restore if things go wrong? I have been reading through the threads so getting to grips with bits and pieces but still unsure where to start. Should i do a hard reset and start backing system files etc from there? I say doing a hard reset because i have already tried a couple of apps on the phone and found that some didn't work that great(probably just neede some tweaking on my part!)so uninstalled them and maybe there are still traces of them in the registry? Apps tried: S2U2, slide setting, i fonz, pocketgpsmap,ppc.YGoNet, mobile live messenger. Do any of these leave registry traces when deleted?
Anyway, given my objectives any help regarding the things i need to back up,programs needed to do this and programs required for the cube development would be much appreciated.
On a final note as i am new to all of this and the forum/developers etiquette can anybody tell me what a typical/ acceptable 'donate' gesture is and in what currency? Is Euro's the norm? Reasons for asking about this are i saw a skin that i liked and i didn't know how much to donate without causing offence.
Thanks all for any help
what I do is that when I find my pocket pc is perfect on a a certain day specially after installing certain programs then I do backup on that day...of course you backup in the memory card ...somebackup programs may do backup on aregular base like spb backup...
I just got my Viewsonic G Table.
Buy the OS is really bad.
I have no data to save.
Di I do a backup and then?. or no backup at this point?
I have read some step by step, and not sure what to start with and what the steps are. Honeycomb look good to me.
I will use the table to save customer data, Google searches, word spelling lookup.
Thanks for the upcoming help and directions.
So I've started to earn a few stripes in the world of Custom ROM's, been caught in a few boot loops, completely ruined a few ROM's because I thought I was above the instructions and so on, from my limited experience so far I've learnt one thing, these few words are my best friends right now "fastboot erase cache'"
So I come to my question. I'm using Titanium Backup. I've read and can understand why doing a system restore on a new ROM is simply bad news, even if the previous ROM was a similar type, ie, both being HTC Sense ROM's, however the most annoying and time consuming aspect of a new rom is as follows:
Entering all your account information again (Mail, Evernote, FB etc)
Losing all your SMS's
Losing all your GUI changes (The 8 folders I have on my front screen which took me ages to setup)
After restoring all your Apps from Backup, is there a quick and easy way to see what all the circa 250 system modules listed in Titanium actually are? Sure some are self explanatory, however if there were a reference somewhere where I could see which modules looked after GUI layout, SMS's and Account Information for example, it would be a nice way to save time when going from one ROM to another.
Does anyone know where I could find this information?
If I may be cheeky and slide in another question? Along the same lines. I understand that doing a system restore between different ROMS is bad news, what about when ARHD update the ROM I'm on? Would a full system restore after a clean ROM install still be a bad idea? Does the system restore touch things like the kernel and OS?
Any help would be truly appreciated and I'm very sorry if this has already been answered in another thread, I did have a poke about first.
In case you were all wondering, and I know all 4 million + registered users where all next to their computer's lying in fetal positions waiting for this problem to be solved, I did a bit of RTFM and Voila, the answers were staring me in the face.
Titanium Backup had even highlighted what I wanted In Bold Lime for all the n00bs like me!
WOOGH
That's me making a gorilla noise and typing the rest of this post with my elbows...
Thankyou and goodnight!

Hello Guys
I'm here to bring you more comfort to your registry edit life,
No more thousands lines of code to edit the registry no,
Just 1 simple line of code and a '.reg' file,
What you want more? (if you want more reply on this thread )
ALERT: this SDK/DLL needs WP7 Root Tools SDK to work(I cant include it because its Heathcliff74 his work)
and now some code
Code:
RegistryHelper.RegFileHelper.RegisterFile("");
Look you did nothing now
but put the source of the .reg file in that empty string and it works
like
Code:
RegistryHelper.RegFileHelper.RegisterFile("[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\MyOwnReg]\[email protected]=\"Doggyyyyy\"\n\"nope\"=hex:ab,ab,ab,ab,ab");
thats it you now created a key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT with the name MyOwnReg and set the default value on Doggy and added an byte(/hex) value with the name nope
Big shoutout to:
Heathcliff74 for helping me and giving this neat SDK
my mum for screaming at me at 11 O'clock because I wasn't sleeping yet
Regards,
EaterOfCorpses
P.S. My site is down
UPDATE
Today I fixed the export of REG files and it does work (from my side) only there are some strange bugs with WP7 Root Tools, but I think it'll be fixed soon (I hope)
Code:
Code:
RegistryHelper.RegFileHelper.CreateFromRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\test")
this will return the source of a REG file
Happy Coding, Guys
Regards EaterOfCorpses
UPDATE:
Tried to fix some bugs but it are bugs in SDK
Reserved
Just to confirm, this is a library which parses a standard Windows .REG file and applies it to the WP7 registry, using Heathcliff74's Root Tools SDK?
Cool.
Yes, exactly!
NICE

btw maybe Im gonna create an VS2010 add-in to make it complete

Stupid me (facepalm)
Heathcliff, thanks
One other feature that would be really cool would be the ability to export .REG files from the registry. This could be used to take registry backups (similar to the way you can in regedit on the PC). Provide an API that specifies a registry path, and return a string containing the .REG data, or possibly one that takes a registry path and a file path, and automatically writes the reg data to that file path...?
Just a thought, but it would be tremendously helpful. One basic thing that is sorely missing from the current WP7 reg editors is a way to back up registry data easily, short of making a full phone image backup. For ome thing,s you need the full image backup anyhow because messing with them might make the phone unable to work normally, but for other things it would just be good to be able to tweak things while knowing they can be easily reverted (I'm thinking about stuff like the GPS settings, for example). I actually started work on a program that could export registry data to a file, but it got abandoned in the face of the many other things I found myself working on.

that's an excellent idea! Im gonna work on it tomorrow!
I took a week vacation from my work so I got all the time (if you forget the point that my mom limits me )
And with the experience I have I think this will take 2 hours to build, but It will take very long time to backup, so do you know something to block the phone so the user cant use it while it backups?
I figure people usually wont make the backup from super-low-level; they'll mostly want to create it near a "leaf" of the hierarchy, so neither creation nor restoration of an export should take very long. Doing a full backup would probably be a bit messy, because as far as I know there isn't any way to lock the entire registry at once, and parts of it are changing constantly. There are actually APIs for creating an entire duplicate of a registry hive (HKCR/HKCU/HKLM/etc.) but you'd have to write a bunch of native code to use them.
One other option would be to put a limit on the API, like an integer for how many levels deep to recurse, as that should reduce the size o the backup created. If you want to do it in a multi-threaded / abortable manner, you could also make the backup API offer a timeout, which if it expires before the backup is complete, would simply stop constructing the .REG file and return whatever it has so far. Also, of course, don't forget to use StringBuilder or some other class that allows quickly combining text.

haha I can't write C++
So I will just start a new thread and make it event based and complicated

I just fixed it only there are some strange bugs in WP7 Root Tools and that takes a bit of the functionality
almost forgot to say:

Updated the dll tried to fix bugs with wp7 root tools :/
