Backup of Wifi Settings and Keys - Networking

Hi,
i am using a SE Xperia X1 with XKANs WM 6.5 ROM.
I made backups with SPB Backup and installed them after the original ROM Updates from SE with WM 6.1 . I have quite a few WLANs stored in my connections and SPB Backup always restored the whole WIFI settings completely with the WEP or WPA keys.
When I restore the backup i made from WM 6.1 on the new WM 6.5 ROM all the settings and keys for WIFI are fully restored but some things for WM 6.5 wont work (Icons, Background Color, etc.)
Now I wanted only to restore the settings I knew from the old backup. I got the whole things from the old registry (like Keys for Programms and the Today Screens). This works quite good. I found these Keys in the registry where i Think the WIFI stuff is stored.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{9eefcedf-a6bc-4457-a8ae-fb664a196450}]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{9eefcedf-a6bc-4457-a8ae-fb664a196450}\SSID]
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\EAPOL\Config]
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\EAPOL\Config\SSID]
When i connect to a new network new entries with the corresponding SSID are created
I found on more entry in the registry where i Think the WEP and WPA Keys are stored
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters\Interfaces\TNETW12511]
There are REG_Binary Items with the name "Static#0000" created when you connect to an new WLAN.
If you have 3 WLANs the last connected WLAN creates an Entry "Static#0002"
If you open the registry with Registry Workshop you see that in the entry the SSID of the WLAN is standing.
But if I import all 3 trees of the registry on the Xperia the SSID dont appear on the available network list. If I connect to a new WLAN all settings in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters\Interfaces\TNETW12511] are gone and one new entry with "Static#0000" is created with the SSID is created.
So I am wondering why SPB Backup is able to restore all the WIFI Settings and manually by registry it doesn´t work. Are there any files or databases I will need to restore or have I forgotten some entry in the registry.
Hope you can help me.

CINGULAR GPRS

I am wondering where the password information is stored for the cingular gprs settings. I am not asking how to enter the settings into the dialogues, rather where in the registrythe password info is stored.
I am aware of the settings located at these two locations...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}]
and
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\My ISP GPRS]
Exporting/importing these restores everything but the username/password info. What I am trying to do is save the settings so I will be able to more quickly restore them after a hard reset, which I do often because I am constantly playing with different roms.
or... is there already a premade cab file that will install the needed settings including cingular's generic username/password?
and for that matter, where is the password stored for activesync? After I import a reg file I have on my phone, I have all the activesync info properly entered except for the password.
I realize these are one time items to have to enter, but it would certainly make system rebuilding go a bit faster...
I hope you managed to get this far into this rather overly verbose essay.
found it.
hell yes:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\CredMan\Creds]
I am cool.
Okay, the question I have then is how did you figure it out, and more importantly, how do you know which key is associated to which connection?
Some crappy registry snapshot program
It is called ssnap, that coupled with a program called idiff, I was able to discover changes made to the registry after doing something (check/uncheck something, enter a setting, etc...)

If anyone knows a better program than these rather primitive monsters, please let me know. I am looking for something similar to installwatch for the PC by Epsilon Squared.
Those settings did not work anyway. That was definately the location where the settings were stored, but they must be coupled with something else. I was able to install and uninstall the username/password by setting/removing those registry entries, but after a hard reset, they did not work anymore.

O2 Exec Universal wifi registry settings

Would someone be able to send a screenshot or backup of their registry settings for WIFI. It's under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
COMM
tiacxwln1
parms
An entire registry backup might be nice too. I have very weak wifi and am looking for a solution. There are no answers to this problem on this site.
well, I guess I'm done. No wifi.

Backing up internet/mms/email/gps settings

It is a bit annoying to set up "environment" settings each time i clean up registry, so i am searching a way to backup registry settings (i believe those settings are there?). Does someone knows which registry keys apply to those settings?

I am not sure about MMS/gps settings in registry. Definitly Email setups are not stored in registry.
I am using a method where I created a cab file with all my MMS/EMAIL and GPRS setups and included it in my extended ROM.
I published a method to create cab file for email setups sometime back. Search for my posts.
If anyone is intersted I can publish details for GPRS and MMS.
Maybe it's possible to use SettingsSavior:

or sth linke PIMBackup or similar?

how to reset connection settings

hy there,
does anybody know how to reset connection settings, other than hard reset?
I deleted everything I could in connection settings, but when I want to add a certain new connection, the message is "connection already exists"....
delete all relevant entries in the registry would be fine.
yes but where in the registry? current user, local machine or?or just type the name of the connection and search the registry?
solved that...
now, does anybody know how to export favorites from mozzila browser to the internet explorer browser of my trinity? I tried with sync but it does viceversa.
type the name of the connection you want to delete, in the "search/find" field of the registry editor. you will see all the keys with that name.

[Q] Changing the default network connection

I want to automatically select the default network to which the device connects
(the first combo in Settings->WirelessControls->menu->Connections->Advanced->SelectNetworks -
See attached image)
My problem is as follows -
When I set up the connection to the operator -
it sets the default network to be <<3G Portal>>
I want to automatically change it to <<Internet 3G>>
(Or in the worst case -
Automatically delete the <<3G Portal>> -
making the <<Internet 3G>> the only available option -
which will force it to be default)
Does anyone know how to do this ?
(Even if some Cpp/C# code is needed - does anyone know the API ?)
Thanks
Not a lot of sense there
Looking at the screen print
The phone is set up to access the web FIRST via the 3G portal (every phone needs a portal to get online).
The second option looks to me to be a WIFI connection. Wifi always take priority over gprs/3g/hspa
so unless you can make a bit more clear what your looking for......................
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
Of course, if you mean a different web access point get the APN settings and manualy add then from the settings menu - wireless and networks access point names - press the menu button - add apn
As I understand your Q, you wanna auto set the default network without having to manually change it everytime you hard reset / change roms?
Here's what I do for such things.
Get ceregistry editor, connect to your phone, export the registry to file, then, on the phone, change the default access point to the one you would rather it was, (possibly reboot phone here to be sure the registry has changed the default apn,) back into ceregistry editor, compare current registry to the snapshot, figure out which key changed, and to what value, then provision that reg key (via a cab, or provxml,) whenever you hard reset, after the network has been set up. (I have a cab with dozens of tweaks in it,you can just keep adding to it)

Thanks for the reply.
Both connections are over the Cellular network.
The first one (3G Portal) is set up by the operator to go via some proxies and stuff, which block certain services/sites as they are not stored on this proxy.
The Second one is "unfiltered" internet connection over the Cellular network.
Whenever the network is detected and set up, the settings are automaticelly set to go via the "proxied" connection.
I want to change it to work over the unfiltered connection.
I would like to know the registry keys or any other place this information is kept, so I could automatically change it.
I tried searching the registry for these values but could not get to a definite conclusion about where exactly the "default connection" is stored, or if it is stored in the registry altogether.
(If it is stored in the registry - I do NOT want a complete registry import/export - just the relevant keys)
Many thanks in advance.
Yes it is stored in the reg, but it stores an ID for each connection which is different for everyone, hence the method I suggested which would reveal both the key and the ID, I wasn't suggesting you import a whole registry, simply make a cab of just the one key. It would take about 10 mins to do, but I'm not running winmo so can't lookup the key for you.

Try using Data Controller by Red Frogfish. With this app, you can turn on and off all of your different connections indvidually.
Since, I have T-Mobile, I have the following connections:
T-Mobile Data
T-Mobile MMS
T-Mobile Internet
And, Data Controller lets turn each on or off as needed/wanted.
