got yesterday my imate. Wonderful device.
I have one question.
What does PermanentSave program (in Setting/System) perform (the manual is silent of this)?
I checked the 4 box for contact, calendar, appointment and task and now every time I soft reset start a syncronization process.
Does PermanentSave saves files into the Storage memory or in the Expanded Memory non generally accessible?
When and how can I do a restore?
Another question: Imate went to me with a file and a directory in the storage memory
the file:
RilNty_log date 1/9/03 of 953 bytes
the directory
PerSaveBackup
containing the following files
AppointmentProtectKey date 1/9/03of 0 byte
ConnectionProtectKey date 1/9/03 of 0 byte
TaskProtectKey date 1/9/03 of 0 byte
ContactsProtectKey date 1/9/03 of 0 byte
also after a softreset and a sync of permanetSave those files doesn't change neither date neither bytes.
Does the saving comes in theextendend rom not visible?
thanks
Anyone knows how to delete this folder (PerSaveBackup) in the Storage area?

I don't use permanent save; to disable it I removed the related files in the \windows\startup folder; there are 4 files whose name is something like aflashman.lnk,cflashman.lnk, etc
I do not remember exactly the names but the files in startup are so few that you cannot make mistakes; they all have the same icon.
At this point you can delete the directory in the storage simply using file manager.
Softreset first.
I did it sometimes and it worked.
Ciao
It was me, sorry

IMHO it's very important to use the permanent save feature because you can do a hard reset and get back ALL your Task, Contacts, Calendar appointments and conection settings.
All the data it's saved in the Storage Flash Ram.
The only thing you need to do to recover from a hard reset is check again the four checkboxes in Permanet save and ALL your data (Task, Contacts, Calendar appointments and Conection Settings) comes to live another time.
A Sprite BAckup solution it's better because can restore ALL your data and applications, but at no cost you can be safer using the Permanent save feature.
Only my 2cents....

Im already using Sprite Backup that is why I no longer need the permanent save feature of the XDAII. The PerSaveBackup folder in the Storage is becoming to be annoying since I cant delete it.
Thanks.

Hi,
first af all I would like to say that i'm not a developer!I just build a little app
to facilitate our every day life.
Then I would like to say that i won't be responsible on any damage that little app could do.
So I made a little App to backup and restore your cemail.vol (containing your SMS or text messages) easily.
It's based on mortscript app (which is very very great).
Installations Steps:
-Unzip B&R on your Ppc (Internal Memory or Storage card As you want)
-Run "MortScript-4.0-PPC.cab" (install it in internal memory or storage card should work for both)
-And at least run "Back&Restore.mscr"
You'll be prompted if you want to backup or restore
and then you'll be prompted again if you want to restart your device or no.
As the backup or restore work at the starting of the device if you know what you are doing I suggest to reply yes, otherwise nothing will backuped or restored.
For those who are interested in this is the source of this little app:
Code:
errorlevel ("warn")
Choice( "SMS B&R","Restore or Backup","Backup","Restore" )
Case( 1 )
Startup = Regread ("hklm" , "System\Explorer\Shell Folders" , "Startup")
back = "XCopy \cemail.vol , ""\Storage Card"" , 1"
delb = "delete " & "(""" & Startup &"\backup.mscr"")"
delete (Startup &"\restore.mscr")
delete (Startup &"\backup.mscr")
WriteFile( Startup & "\backup.mscr" , back & "^CR^^LF^" & delb ,1 )
Case( 2 )
Startup = Regread ("hklm" , "System\Explorer\Shell Folders" , "Startup")
rest = "XCopy ""\Storage Card\cemail.vol"" , \ , 1"
delr = "delete " & "(""" & Startup &"\restore.mscr"")"
delete (Startup &"\backup.mscr")
delete (Startup &"\restore.mscr")
WriteFile( Startup & "\restore.mscr" , rest & "^CR^^LF^" & delr ,1 )
Case( 0 )
Message( "Cancel" )
Exit
EndChoice
Choice ("Reset", "Do you want to restart de device?","no","yes")
Case( 1 )
Message ("Be careful : Backup or Restore Cemail.vol only work if you soft reset your device")
Case( 2 )
reset
Case( 0)
Message ("Be careful : Backup or Restore Cemail.vol only work if you soft reset your device")
exit
EndChoice
Bye

Thanks for this, been wanting to backup cemail.
I've tested it briefly on my HP RX1950, but nothing is created after restart. I've tried with a few different storage cards but no luck. Any ideas?
As you can see file creation refers to Startup(folder) Value in Registry.
So it can be 2 things
1-The startup folder is not in the same place as mine in the registry (but I doubt about that)
2-The Mapi services which use the file cemail.vol start before my script.
So to check that, launch the backup but don't restart the device and go look
into \windows\startup to see if there is a file called Backup.mscr, if yes open it with a notepad and send me the content of the file.
I'll try later to make a log script file to debug these kind of problems
Bye
Herc.
Well the startup folder is in the correct place in the registry, and backup.mscr is in the startup folder.
The contents is as follows;
XCopy \cemail.vol , "\Storage Card" , 1
delete ("\Windows\StartUp\backup.mscr")
Ok,
So could you:
-Tell me what device do you own and which rom your are using.
-In the registry in [HKLM/init] could you give me your launch values.
(ex: Launch10 Shell32.exe, Launch20 Service.exe etc...)
Bye

The device is a HP Ipaq RX1950, rom is the standard HP rom version 1.01 (english).
Launch values:
Launch10 shell.exe, Launch20 device.exe, Launch21 coldinit.exe, Launch30 gwes.exe, Launch35 wifioff.exe, Launch50 shell32.exe, Launch60 services.exe, Launch61 ciphase2.exe, Launch70 connmgr.exe, Launch80 srvtrust.exe
Thanks
i was looking for some way to perform this operations and i have to say that this thing work perfectly on my TyTN (hermes) with mobile 6. For i moment i thought that i could write something in CF, but probably it wouldn't work cause it will need the system fully uploaded.
nice work
I see another way to backup SMS.
There are many programs which do backup SMS, and at any time, and not just during reboot device. For example, smsorganizer (www.zedsoft.net). But this program not work in a mode such as command line.
If there was such program would not be to do a problem backup sms when it is necessary, either under the schedule, or on event. For example, to start the program at incoming sms by means of SKScheme or another.
And then questions with copying cemail.vol will disappear all.
I also used this kind tool to backup cemail.vol by celecmd, but this time.. when I try to backup cemail.vol now, it dosn't work, both this mortscript tool or that celecmd tool. It seems after reset, another system application lock this cemail.vol before backup tool start.
Does anyone have an idea?
I have resolved my problem, maby helpful to you:
1. set "Today", cancel items outlook-related;
2. delete poutlook link in \windows\startup.
I backed up cemail.vol manually through "Mobile Device" in XP, and now I'm trying to figure out how to copy the backed up file back onto the device after a hard reset, but I'm not having much luck. I created "aa.mscr" in my \Windows\Startup directory, but nothing I put in it works:
Code:
Rename ("\goodcemail.vol", "\cemail.vol", 1)
Code:
Rename "\goodcemail.vol", "\cemail.vol", TRUE
Code:
Delete "\cemail.vol"
Rename "\goodcemail.vol","\cemail.vol"
The files are unchanged after I soft reset.
What am I doing wrong?
According to this page:
In WM 5.0 you can not rename, delete and etc. '\cemail.vol'. It is placed in distinct storage.

So how does your code do it then?
Ooops. This thread says to place a shortcut in the Startup directory, not the script itself. I'll try again when I have a chance.

Nope. That doesn't do anything either. How do I restore cemail.vol?!
I removed everything from the Today screen and restarted, and the script worked! I think I could actually delete the file manually now, since it's not being used by the Messaging part of the Today screen.
So where do all the settings for Exchange Activesync and POP account info live? I want to be able to back these up and restore them after a reflash. Any Ideas?
OK, tried removing everything from today screen as someone stated, tried deleting the poutlook.lnk from stratup. I am on Raphael(Fuze) running my own cooked ROM. I would ike this to work so I could cook in a script to copy these files back on startup. Could prove very handy as I am flashing a lot of ROMs lately. Any help appreciated.
On a WM5 MotoQ I was having a hell of a time getting a backup of a clean cemail.vol file from a freshly flashed phone. Come to find out I had not unlocked its registry. From CeRegistry editor v0.0.4.4 I chose "unlock registry" from the tools menu then made the following edits
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1001 = 2
Change to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1005 = 16
Change to 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1017 = 128
Change to 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
New Dword value "0000101b" = 1
What does restore do ? is it to delete off the old one and replace a new one ?
if it is , it doesnt help my wm6.1 asus p320 .
how to download this app.
it just displays a small picture when clicking the donwload link.
I have no idea.
read their faq?

new problem, when i uninstall and press contacts on home, it tells me that pocketcm cant be found, but doesnt use the old contacs app.
Same song, new verse

Thank u
And for the third verse?

Read the faq, and it says how to uninstall if you have problems doing it the normal way. What app is used to modify the registry values they mention?
anyone????
total commander
* Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
* Change "String 1" value from "\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe" to ":MSPOUTLOOK contacts".
Make sure that you don't add the "" on the new entry.
tried it and didnt work. what else could i do?

how to change it on calendar
for example: make thumbcal default calendar
thanks
Menu-Extras-Setting-Standard for Calendar
if you want a application be the default one it must be in Settings of this application, so just look there a little bit, seems to make more sense than open such threads By the way:
1. Did you read first tread for such questions ?
2. why dont you ask that in the thumbCal thread ?
3. The default Calendar thing has been asked a hundred times there, so it seems you even dont searchor read there ?
if you mean the left softkey too, search for "changing softkeys"
thank you
unfortunately the default app setting for this change in thumbcal does not work, thats why i spent two hours looking in different threads for a solution, the one hack that did work for somebody i couldnt duplicate because i dont know how to edit a system file (and i tried several different ways)
i did ask in that thread, but thot asking here would catch somebodys eye who either had a solution or something positive to contribute
i thot this forum was about sharing knowledge
if this post is really that out of line please delete it

try using total commander, you may have to remove the readonly or system attributes to the file through total commander, edit it (which you can also use total commander for) and then change the attributes back
thank you for responding!
this was one of the first things that i tried but i wanted to try it again before i replied
i can uncheck attributes of calendar.exe ie: read only and system but i cant uncheck "inROM" its greyed out
so when i hit ok read only and system revert back to checked
thanks again for trying to help, i appreciate it
works with manilla2D, so guess with more apps?

- Download VJBrisk.cab
- Install it
- Copy vjbrisk.exe
- make a backup of calendar.exe
- Rename vjbrisk.exe to calendar.exe
- make a LNK (shortcut) to your application and name it vjtarget.lnk
Place both files in your Windows directory (yes, overwrite calendar.exe)
I found this somewhere in the Manilla2D threads (don't know wich one anymore).
Good luck

Can't you just open up thumbcal and go to its menu option and select "Extras" followed by "Settings", then scroll down and pick/check "Set as default calendar"?
EDIT: Sorry just read post 2 who practically tells you to do the same, must have ignored it as I feel the post was a bit out of line. On the same note though, that was all I did and it seemed to work, that may be because I am using an Omnia at present.

This ist probably a stupid question, but I just couldn't find a solution.
How do I change an already existing Quickling on the homescreen? The same question is also valid for the contacts screen.
Once I have defined a Quicklink on the Homescreen there doesn't seem to be a method to change it to something else, I couldn't find it anywhere in the settings. And touch-and-hold doesn't do anything eighter.
So if anyone knows the solution please post it here.
Thanks

Remove quick links
Try "Menu" (lower right corner) -> Remove quick links ->tap on the one you want to remove -> Done -> you're done
found solution (sorry)
Okay that works.
Thank for your help.
I'm also having Quicklinks problems.
I can delete/change the ones that point to programs but the last row of my Quicklinks point to my top websites (ie; Bookmarks/Favourites) and if I use the normal method to delete them it doesn't work! Has anyone else found this, or a solution?
What might be the issue is that I've installed a cab to increase the number of Quicklinks from 9 (3x3) to 16 (4x4). Could that be causing this, as in a stock HD2 that last row wouldn't even be there...?
Many thanks!
You may certainly use a *.cab which has modified the number of quicklinks on home tab, and which doesn't work properly, isn't ?
You can :
- uninstall this cab
- sof reset
- delete quick links
- install back the cab
- soft reset
Then it's ok.
I realise that this is an old thread but I am a new owner of an HD2 and still finding my way. I have done a search and this is the closest thread to my issue.
Just like ugotamesij I have 16 quick links on my home page. My probem is that I cannot remove an unwanted quick link by using the menu button option to get rid of it. The link that I am trying to remove is to the Excel Mobile program.
I would like to remove the .cab file that gave me the 16 links and then re-install it but I do not know how to remove the .cab file from the SD card.
I have located the particular file using the file explorer and deleted it from the list on my SD card but the 16 quick links still appear on my phone after a soft reset.
Can someone assist please?

you can use the registry editor to remove the links -
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home
There are keys marked with 0..9 (or 0..n)
each item is a shortcut on the home page.
there is a value called "IsExist" set it to 0,
and set all the other tring values to empty.
If you only want to re-order the links -
you can use the app in the following link

Som30ne, thank you for the reply and link.
I am sorry to reveal my ignorance but I do not know what your instructions mean. I have never had a windows mobile phone before and have never attempted any tweaks.
This registry editor business sounds very interesting but sadly, it's like a foreign language to me.
If you have the time can you break it right down for me or point me to a "how to..." guide?

To edit the registry I use TotalCommanderCE,
it's free, just google it.
After you install it, run it, and click on the [\] button (top right of the screen)
double click "Plugins"
double click "Registry"
and then go to the path specified (HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home\. . . .)
go to each of the number folders and double click the values to edit them.
After editing - exit the TotalCommander,
and hold the power button, and select "power off", than turn the device back on,
so the new values would be loaded on bootup.
I hope it's clear enough.
Enjoy.
(BTW: if you are not sure - write down any o the value you changed,
just in case you need to restore the values to what they were before)
I feel as though I'm on the right path but require a little more help.
After a little further research I installed PHM RegEdit and using the directions provided by Som30ne have found the entry in the registry that relates to the offending quick link (Excel Mobile). It is next to a folder with the number 9.
The path is HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home\9
What do I do to simply remove Excel Mobile as a quick link?

there is a value called "IsExist" set it to 0,
Then click save Then reboot
I don't have a value named, IsExist". I can see;
IsNeedRefresh
IsReadOnly
IsSet
IsSet is the only one of these that has a value other than 0 (the value is 1).
Any ideas?

I dont understand - what do you mean it is near the 9 folder ?
There cannot/shouldnt/isnt any quick links near the folders.
The quick links are defined inside the folders.
Inside each of the folders (0 . . N) there are several entries - one of the entried is called "IsExist", and the others contain a path to a program link, and a path to the program icon.
Thanks for you patience.
I finally found the value IsExist and changed it from 1 to 0. I saved my change and then did a soft reset. Sadly, The quick link is still there and resolutely defies any attempts to remove it.
Is there something that I have missed or is there another way? If all else fails I can see only two choices;
1. Perform a hard reset and start again from scratch or,
2. Leave the quick link where it is and learn to live with it.
Any other ideas - PLEASE?
I am fairly new to this registry editing myself, but I also had this problem.
Using the good advice from this thread so far I have managed to get rid of the quick link from my 4x4 quick link grid.
I just looked at the registry values for an empty link and entered the same values for the one I wanted to remove. I then did a soft reset and it seems to have worked.
Thanks for the support speaky05 but I managed to get the required result by simply un-installing the .cab file that gave me the 4x4 grid and then re-installing it.
I don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner.
