Backup some manila files. - Touch HD General

Hi, I flash roms quite frequently and been using sashimi to lighten up the burden of re-installing my apps. The only thing left is how to backup my favorite contacts tab, registered stocks and the playlist of the music tab? If anyone knows how to do this please share, would appreciate it a lot.
Thanks.

Would also be interested in knowing how to save stock & music playlists.
I do know if you use sprite or spb backup and save PIM info it automatically saves the fav contacts. But to save stock and music favs you would need to do a full backup & restore which would defeat the purpose when changing roms
Whats your settings on Sashimi?

I only tried spb backup...but again, thats a total backup app
Anyone got any luck with these?

I haven't found the stock info yet, but the audio playlists are in
\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists\

Uninstall Mort Player

I installed mort player and I didn't like it but when I try to uninstalled it, it just freezes....
It still works but I can't uninstall it - any suggestions?
Is there any other way except with "remove programs"? When i click on remove i can just see that "windows circle" (that it's working something) and that's it....it isn't freezing completely but i can feel that processor is on 100%....
I have the exact same problem whether I try and uninstall from the phone or from the Add/Remove programs in the Windows Mobile Device Centre.
Using version 3.31b77 on an unmodified 1.14 ROM. It seems to hang after the "Save Settigs Option" has been presented and answered YES.
Just had a thought: If you answer NO, then the uninstall progresses.
Then for good order I deleted the MortPlayer folder in Program Files and I used a registry editor to delete the key:
HKCU\Software\Mort\MortPlayer
which should delete those "saved" settings.
Same problem as the others here. Just wanted to confirm that golightlygl's solution works fine. thanks!

I installed a similar program which kept freezing the Touch HD.
i installed the program and i don't know what happened but it said unrecoverable error has occurred and to reset the device. I did and phone worked fine but i couldn't enter Settings as it would freeze the device.
Deleting registry didn't do it, and the found out Active Sync allows you to uninstall programs too.
It saved my hyde, didn't want to hard reset it at all.
I've had the same problem with Mortplayer but I'm also experiencing some other issues and I don't know yet if they're related.
Ever since about the same time as I installed Mortplayer, my mp3 ringtones have stopped working. I can't use any mp3 based system sounds anymore.
Has this happened to you as well?

it could happen when you have those type of files (i.e. mp3) associated with a music player, like mort player or pocket player, etc.
in the player option uncheck the file type association and then the rings will work again.
at least worked for me
for uninstalling mort player you can try pocket mechanic. use uninstall and after that the file system cleanup option.
BUT TAKE GOOD CARE WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DELETE, BECAUSE IT COULD ERASE IMPORTANT THINGS, and the you coul only reinstall the whole thing
Thanks, but since I tried to uninstall it the Player Options now longer work. Tried reinstalling but that hangs as well. Will look up pocket mechanic... maybe this will end in a hard reset...
or maybe not!
if you have other music players installed, check them also

Whenever I try to install any .cab now, it now gives me a new prompt right after I hit "Yes" to install the .cab. It gives me this prompt:
"Installation of (program).cab was unsuccessful."
It does that for every cab that I'm trying to put into my HD2. (BsB, DocHD2MMSFix, etc) Idk what I can do to fix it, I tried to soft reset it. It doesn't help... I'm really stressed out and annoyed about this thing. Anyone got anything?!
why don't you just hard reset the device. use pim backup to save your contacts/text/calendar/.... it's a breeze to get all your stuff back.
are you clicking to download the cab and choosing 'open' straight from the browser? because i find they always fail if you try to do that. You must save them first, and then open them manually.

Cause I really don't feel like redoing my FB contact stuff all over again. I have a lot of contacts. It'll just be a huge PITA

I always download them onto my PC, then transfer it to my SDcard then open it up from there. Never had any problems with it until now...

I sync to Google and never have to re-add all the FB stuff to my contacts. Each time I flash, I sync again and my contacts are back just as I left them.
I flash a lot and thus need simple solutions such as that. Thank GOD for Android on the HD2, which not only sync's contacts but reinstalls your apps too!
There. Now I've helped someone and plugged my own threads at the same time. Time for a cookie
Try using sdkcerts. It enables you to install unsigned cabs.
You have a problem if your HD2 doesn't even let you install it. In that case, you'd want to do a hard reset (but BACKUP your data first!).

the facebook connections are stored in teh contacts 'notes' field, so are restored when you sync them back after a hard reset.

You know.... if you have installed BsB Tweaks (free in Windows Mobile Marketplace), you can just enable unsigned apps under Polices.

look up winamp, or doubletwist (with airsync). Both of these apps sync with PC music apps (both of which are highly reputable). As for music apps specifically for root, I do not know of any, though, IMHO, nothing quite beats a well-termed google search for finding full albums. lol, hope this helps
Music Downloader Pro will let you search/DL songs. It's a free (unrooted) app. http://www.androidtapp.com/music-downloader-pro/
Titanium Backup and AdsFree are the only two "must have" rooted apps I use.

Yup, sure does. its the number one feature a Rom has to have before I will ever consider it, as its the only way I can get signal in my dorm.

[Q] `com.android.htcprofile` and `recovery` in Titanium Backup

At the bottom of my Titanium Backup application list I see two entries: `com.android.htcprofile` and `recovery`. Both are crossed out, as if they stand for uninstalled applications. They are not backed up, so there's no reason for them to appear in the list. Refreshing the list does not make these entries to go away.
What are these entries? What is the importance of having them in the list? Why does Titanium Backup display these entries in the list, even though Titanium Backup itself seems to understand that they are "uninstalled" and not backed up?
BUMP
I was wondering the same thing, I don't see Recovery anywhere in my list but I do see com.android.htcprofile
I'm having problems with my widgets disappearing on the stock Rom. Only on the stock homescreen not ADW. Was thinking this could be the cause possibly?

If it was i am thinking it is.
HTC profile is a stock application much like blackberry has different applications. Same basic idea. When you are are home, and you have the "home profile" active it will not pull your work emails. If you are at work it pulls everything but lowers the volume not to disturb people around you.
and i do not have "recovery" on mine so i do not know what it does.
google doesn't even know the answer to your question, therefore, it must not have an answer.

Well, what I'd like to know is not what "HTC profile" does. The main question here is really about Titanium Backup: what exactly does that mean when Titanium Backup shows in its list an application that is crossed-out?
Normally, Titanium Backup shows a crossed-out application when you uninstall something. An uninstalled app is shown crossed-out until you refresh the list. After refresh it disappears. Sometimes, an uninstalled application might remain in the list if you previously backed it up. So, a persistent crossed-out entry normally means "it is uninstalled, but you still have a backup for it".
In my case I see `com.android.htcprofile` and `recovery` crossed-out in the list, but I have no backup for these applications. So, the question is why Titanium Backup keeps showing them in the list? What is Titanium Backup trying to tell me by keeping these crossed-out entries in its list?
Same here. DAMN, and I just did a system wipe, thinking I unistalled something by mistaki
I ended up at this thread when I Googled after encountering the same thing. I came across it because I was trying to free up some space. It is associated with a 4 MB+ text file which Titanium can't delete. I think the text file is the reason it's showing up.

Poweramp playlists not restored via Titanium

Hello. I've flashed a few roms, kernels; done factory resets, etc., and not until recently have I had this problem. Admittedly, I never had playlists in Poweramp either.
Anyhow, I flashed a new rom and restored everything, and had very few problems, as is usually the case.
This time, all of my Poweramp playlists didn't get restored. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, but I did put a moderate amount of time building them. I've attempted to restore both the Poweramp main app and the unlocker, in different orders a couple of times, and when I go to add a song to one of my playlists, it still reports that there are none.
Any ideas here? Thanks.
Anyone else have this problem?

Well, I can say that, when I was using PowerAmp, and restored it, playlists were gone. Never found a solution.
Then, I organised my music in folders, and used them as "playlists".
