When my device is synced with my PC I get a shortcut to 'Mobile Device' on my PC If I click on that I can see the whole folder structure of my XDA. However, if I go into the 'databases' folder there's only a few databases there...
Where are the databases for tasks and appointments etc...does WM5 hide them from prying eyes in case we try to acccess them? :lol:
they are hidden in open view - files in the root folder.
Databases...
So, are they viewable AT ALL (ie by using a 3rd party utility)?
Thanks
I use this:

that won't help for WM5
Databases...
Thanks, brilliant! - Does it work under WM5?
Go for it...
Well, I installed it and it only show 2 databases. 'MSN moved' and 'MSN Contacts'
Am I doing something wrong here or does it not work with WM5
Thanks
Dear all,
i'm used to use Himalaya/Andes.
when i using my mail account, how do a do a fast send/receive.
On my previous Himalaya, there was a button on the bottom of the screen.
Can i change this?
ROM 1.13.62 WWE
Radio 1.04.10
ext ROM 1.13.9030
In a word, no. You have to select the send/receive option from the menu.
A lot of WM5 apps are missing their toolbars, and therefore missing a lot of their functionality.
A lot of third party apps will have the toolbars included (TCPMP, Resco Photo Viewer, etc), but not sure if there is a messaging program available. I'm sure someone else will dive in here and suggest one tho
Does anyone know if it is possible to make email folders (other than the inbox) appear on the today screen on my wing? I know it can be done with Flexmail but that program makes my device run slow.
it can also be done with spb diary
Thank you. I willcheck into SPB Diary. I was hoping I could manipulate the registry so I wouldn't have to install an additional program.

MemMaid is another utility that does the same and a bit more, but probably won't give you much more than cleanram does.
However, if you haven't already run it, you should try the cab I have attached, it changes the way the TP2 frees up memory when apps are done with it. It won't totally clean your memory, but it should make a significant difference in how quickly your memory fills up (or doesn't). Just run it once and that's all you have to do. The TP2 is known to have issues with available RAM, especially if you're running a WM 6.5 ROM and Sense on top of it.
I can attest that SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy helps. Also, not sure if your ROM version has Push Internet but if it does...kill it with "Manila NoPushInternet".(somewhere here @ XDA) Push Internet is useless when you weigh the resources that it consumes versus the very small time savings of loading frequently visited internet pages. After a soft reset I am at 53%-54%. At most I gain only about 10% by the end of the day after using many apps. I also use the FreeUP RAM Service in SK-Tools. I have messed with the FreeUP Ram Service settings and find that a stress prevention level of about 12 in "Only Light" mode works well. SK-Tools (paid app-$12) will do all of what you mention and more.

No, the TouchPro2 does not have the suck-sensor, or even the loser-bar, so it can't be that
According to the website, the limitation of the lite version is "only 6 entries in any list"...so I'm guessing that the files you're asking about go far over that limit, and are only getting cleared 6 at a time...
Was wondering how does each one keeps his settings and configuration between changing ROMS. Including keeping the Call history, SMS history etc...
I have tried Sashimi once but was overwhelmed with the settings and learning curve and decided to neglect it. I use my HD2 as a business tool and don't have hours to spend each time on configuring between ROMs.
Well, if you see your HD2 as a "business tool" imo it would be the best solution to decide for one ROM and keep it for a while...
I use a mixture of Sashimi, Outlook, MyPhone and CeRegEditor. With Sashimi I backup my mail-account-setup, with MS MyPhone I backup my SMS and WWW-bookmarks, with Outlook (of course) I "backup" my appointments and contacts, with CeRegEditor I backup my app-registration-info out of the registry that I do not always have to re-activate my apps and type in serials etc.
That does it for me. I don't like full-backup-solutions like Sprite or SPB Backup.
Cheers
spb backup for my mail,contacts and text messages.
And at last sashimi to install al my programs quickly.
And my own created cab with registery entries so I can quickly change everthing.

Pretty much EXACTLY what I do as well...
I dont simple, the only thing i have backed up is my memory card on the pc and contacts, calender in myphone that's it I like to change the settings differently on ROM's
Sashimi for Mail-Config, applications, registry-tweaks
MyPhone for text messages, bookmarks and tasks
Sashimi changed my life
I'm with mischgin regarding sashimi.
It alone can manage most of the things some of you do with 5 different apps
Cab autoinstall, either on internal memory or SD (you chose which goes where), registry key importing (export with total commander, sashimi will reimport back), single file copying (mirroring the root folder structure), XML provisioning for wifi and mail accounts via makisu.
This is what I use, and on top of that I only need pimbackup to restore everything else which is PIM related.
I don't use the EXE and CERT folders of SAHIMI (yet), but I can pretty much restore *everything* automatically.
The only things I don't, is because I don't knows their registry entries in order to export them (for instance, everything you change from under manila settings )
SPB backup without a doubt!
I dont use any kind of backup.
I use a rom that uses the autoinstall folder,
i created a cab of my email settings using makisu (sashimi's little brother),
and a cab of my registry tweaks(including the home quicklinks), which i update as and when i find more tweaks,
and i sync with Outlook on the pc for contacts.
Mail gets restored because my phone doesnt delete it off the server, so its still there next time you send/recieve, (unless the PC has checked them in the meantime, of course, in which case they are on the PC, and subsequently in the outlook email account on teh phone)
I dont back up txt's, i've never understood why anyone keeps them, to me its the same as recording every phone call and keeping the recordings, , why???
From the start of teh hard reset to being completely set up and synched, takes about 20 minutes. (Including teh time for the OS and apps to instal)
EDIT - oh, and lots of apps dont need to be reinstalled if you plan on using them from the sd card.
Just create a link to the executable and many of them still work.
I hard code a quicklink to things like that into my quicklinks reg cab.
I really really really really really really want a quick easy way of restoring my email settings
And as most programs don't really need installing on each ROM change I wish it was easy to tell them to store Application data on the storage card and for Cookie's tab to automatically restore icons by saving them to the Storage card (as in, the actual icon files, not just the standard backup). CorePlayer, TomTom, AiReader and GRemote are examples of programs that don't really need reinstalling.

ditti, currently doing same but if I found something to back up email config, facebook setting and a couple of others, it would be good
what i usually do is auto backup with NRGZ's systems export backup tool and xda uc. Also copy the progam files folder which the apps are installed on the phone and if you wantthe start menu folder in windows which has all the shortcuts etc (saves time doing it one by one).
All you have to do is just copy and past those 2 folders back in the correct places after you flash. Everythings back to how it was. Also use PIM for contacts and sms. Takes no longer than 5-10 mins to get it exactly how i want
