Ok, so to get the self deprocation out of the way. I am a complete newbie to the world of PDA/Windows Mobile devices.
Up until now my forté has been computers and other gadgets.
My question may seem very obvious... however....
After about 3 weeks of owneing the 6800/Mogul I have gotten it customized to exactly where I want it. Contacts, Installed applications, a theme, HTC Home, Settings etc etc.
How do I (in computer terms) GHOST(backup) this phone so that I may basically experiement and test out the awesome applications on here, and restore my setup whenever I go to far or want to go back?
Is there a way to just do a "rom/storage" dump to my computer or storage card and then mess with my phone without fear of not being able to go back?
Thanks guys...
I did a rudimentary search on here, but its hard to look for the answer when you barely can ask the question.

not free but I don't think there are currently any free utilities to do what you're asking for :/ but if you're willing to part with the 30 bucks its a great piece of software
johnnycross22,
Thanks for your prompt response. After looking at that, it appears it does what I am asking for. Knock on wood. I am still completely shocked that there isnt some sort of homebrew'd/freeware apps created somewhere, especially by the geniuses on here.
I'll let you guys know my testimonial when im done (if I decided to buy!)

Another thumbs up for Sprite Backup. I've been using it for a long time, and it's an amazing piece of software. If you don't spend money on any other piece of software for your phone, do it for this.
A few of us were wondering over on sprintmogul.net if there's a way to make the new nascar app Sprint released work for the moguls. When you try to download it to a mogul it says the device is not yet supported. Ms.Survivor downloaded it for another phone and posted the file at rapidshare to see if anyone can make it work on a mogul. Looks like its going to take some java expertise to make it work. Anyone wanna give it a shot?
Here's the sprintmogul.net thread: http://sprintmogul.net/Forum/tabid/54/ptid/370/threadid/3075/forumtype/posts/Default.aspx
I hate to be one of those guys who bumps his own thread when nobody answers it...but the Atlanta race is in 5 days & I have no nascar on my phone. Anyone have any ideas? I know you guys are much smarter than me...
I too want this bad... tried the program but it wont work on my xv6800
Turning left is not a sport.
I didn't work on my phone. Sorry mate
Alright so everyone can prob agree... We have all these sweet ass phones that we mod ourselves to give it our own touch. Well don't you hate it when people go to see your phone and they're all like, "Hey let me see that, it looks sweet!!" blah blah blah... then they go and look in your text messages. Kinda annoying when I let someone play with my device and they try to get into my personal business.
Well basically what I am asking with all the talent out there... Is there a simple program that someone(s) would be willing to try to create that makes our SMS passcoded. Basically anytime you want to go into your messaging folder that includes your inbox, sent, outbox, drafts... that they need to enter in a simple 4 digit passcode. I bet I'm not the only one that would like this program....
Thanks in advance!
i would love to have something like this...not just for sms but for all programs. i remember my first cheap phone (motorola) they have this feature to block/allow apps and be passcoded. it would be great to have something like this....just a question as if its a popular request i guess....
great idea!
i love this motorola function, i'll love to see an application to do this on our phone.

I have been wanting this since I pulled my Tild out of the box. Couldn't find it so I eventually bought this;
http://imate-smartphone.handster.com/product.php?id=521
It's okay, but as I said in another thread it can be a little *clunky* to use. And I know I paid WAY TOO much for something that should eb relatively simple.
yea...ive been wanting a program like that for a whileee!! i know somebody out there can develop a nice simple program that ask for a password for certain app...

Been trying this out for a while today... works pretty good... Just kinda plain and boring looking though. So if anyone is still up to the challenge to make something very similar but maybe a little more modern looking.
Hey all,
I agree with the fact that this type of software could be in high demand. I am not a developer myself, but I did design a Wisbar theme called VistaMobile, so I would definitely be willing to skin the program if someone could do the coding. I really love this whole PPC scene (started with an MPx200 Smartphone about 3 years ago, now using an HTC Uni), and I really want to give back and be a part of something more than the VistaMobile theme I had created.
I should also be able to host the file with a dedicated page on my protogenLabs site, if any developers are out there and wishing to team up.
That might just be wishful thinking, but regardless, it would be great have a stylish version of this type of program. More and more people in North America are finally getting used to Windows Mobile being somewhat mainstream, so I think it's a good market ready to flourish!
Sorry if I went on a bit of a tangent, but I'm all for a program that would do this sort of thing.
PM or contact me from my protogenLabs page if you are a dev interested in partnering up with a designer for ANY projects really...
Thanks!

it's called Ez Secret SMS and works great but on VGA devices the password keypad is unusable
We need a simple software to ask for a password when entering messaging. That's it, no funky lists and fluffy software. May the Force(of developers) be with us
glad to see everyone agrees with me, its nice to think that this is something that everyone would enjoy as much as me. So developers check this out! If your a developer or someone that think you might be able to take this on... leave some feedback on here instead of just reading then leaving... again thanks everyone, we'll be waiting!
yea i need something like dat badly!!!
ILL Try to develop something...

There's to be no talk of WAREZ on this site.
You should try reading the rules
11. Don't get us all in trouble
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does in no way mean we agree with everything Hollywood, the record companies and the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here since otherwise we'll end up dealing with your legal hassle. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
Has anyone made a free program for this yet?

i don't think so... i think a simple password prompt for accessing SMS/Email messages would be cool.. problem is, all the software currently out there is bloat and full of extra stuff that most of us don't need.
this can probably be done with mortscript but again, it requires additional installed programs..
i'm still looking around, but there isn't much in terms of what we're looking for.
now if we could only get some interested coders in this thread to whip something up
eye on privacy is a good one... theres alot of other stuff like a "safe sms" inbox that stores txts you don't want other people to see when you enter a 2ndary password. It can also lock dialing functions, call history, contacts, calender, tasks, and notes.
Then it gets into some really paranoid features that no one will ever use unless you're 007.
The pin screen that comes up when you go to your inbox is very finger friendly but the one that comes up when you go to the program to set the password and change settings is not.
Hello everyone. I am a second year electronics student and am now working for my General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL). I am looking at having to memorize the answers to just under 700 questions. Its rather tough lol. The reason I am here is simple. I have searched and searched and have not found any software for my touch pro that will help me study for this test. I don't know how to write programs but I know that many of you out there do a phenomenal job. I am looking for someone that would write a program for me that would quiz me on all the questions for the GROL. In fact I believe that if one where interested in making a few dollars he or she could go all out and make a program that creates a full exam from the test question pool, then watches which ones the user gets wrong and makes sure to ask them more often. It would also be cool if a pop up window came up explaining the proper answer. I also think it would be nice to have a screen at the end showing results. I know at first this seams daunting but I do have software that came with my book that is close to this and could send you a copy. Also, the entire question pool is listed on the fcc website. It wont let me post the link here but if you contact me by email i can find it for you.
The GROL only requires sections 1 and 3. The only other program similar was marked at $40.00 and for the pc. Nothing has been found for the PPC where it makes the most sense. During random downtimes a person can do a few random questions here and there. I believe that if made to look nice with a nice touch style interface someone could post this to windows marketplace and sell it for $20.00 easily and make some nice cash on it. I would learn to program and do it myself if it weren't for the fact that I am in class now and need it ASAP.
Thanks in advance for all that entertain the thought of taking this on

It's not exactly what you said, but maybe you can use SuperMemo UX & SuperMemo Mobile. It's free software, but you will need to build your own course.

I know this is an older post. And I knkw what you mean, and are talking about. I am changing career fields into Avionics, and a classmate has an app for his (cry)Phone. But in the Google Play Store, they have some, but they are expensive for what it is ($19.99 and $12.99). I can't find anything except crApple. Absolutely no Android. I can't even find anything where someone ported the CD that is in the book over to Android and other platforms. I have coppied the files from the CD to a folder on my computer called "GROL." So I didn't have to have the CD in my computer the whole time. I'm going to graduate at the end of this month, and I only have Element 1 done. Partly its my own fault for waiting until now. But either way, I'll have 3 & 8 done. But it would be nice if I could take the studying with me when I have life going on and not by my computer. Lol
Android surpassed crApple, and yet we still get kicked to the curb.
I know they were taking some volunteers to test out the browser on their phones, i was wondering if we could possibly get an .apk here on XDA(kind of like we did for swype) so we can try it out as well.
http://jkontherun.com/2010/04/10/skyfire-stops-blackberry-development-focusing-on-android/
Well hopefully Google/Adobe get Flash to the Nexus before skyfire gets around to it.
I waited while Skyfire promised they were working on a Blackberry version which they never delivered.
Now, they publicly ask for Android testers and then only accept 30 applicants!
Skyfire is vapourware for anything other than windows mobile, nokia, etc..
They'll be late to the Android party too. Actually they'll probably miss the whole thing.

There's already a thread exactly like this, try using the search feature.
Anyway, each apk is tied to the users IMEI so it will not work when you try to install someone elses.
A mod should lock this now.
