As I say at the title, it's really weer that after i install a new skin, the screen will show "tap here to lauch touchflo", but when i tap the screen, nothing happens. I do install the skin according to the instrcutions mentioned. I doubt whether there is a problem with the os?thks
I am having the same problem. I have to do a hard reset everytime I removed a skin.
If your running latest update of manila(18, not sure of 17), then the cab installs don't work. The image placements are slightly different which is why it can't find all the files and won't let you start it. Solution is to use the zip or m2dct files along with M2DC app to install your skins.
Not being able to find files that are removed during an uninstall will also cause touchflo to not be able to start.(post #2) Solution is to reinstall the original files or another theme that replaces the missing files.

[APP]Apps\Scripts to backup Personal info(and AutoRestore) |"FlashBack 0.6"| 10-23-09
UPDATE: 10-22-09 FlashBack 0.6
-Added program tab backup and autorestore
-Added MySpace profile(Microsoft MySpace)
-Added some more Game and Software items
-Added Zensor autorestore and autoload(autoload still needs some work)
UPDATE: 8-27-09 FlashBack 0.5
Uploading latest package from my kitchen. I will put together a cab soon, but for now you can use the flashback script from the package and overwrite original
Changelog:
Made some minor modifications as well as some optimization to reduce errors when restoring.
-Added Wifi Locations backup under software
-Added double check for manila autorestore. This way if you have non manila ROM It will not try to load manila.
For this to work correctly you need to add the following lines to your manila app.reg:
Code:
;FlashBack support
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FlashBack]
"ManilaExists"=dword:1
NOTE: Make sure to disable weather restore or delete the database when switching manila builds
Still taking further requests and hoping for some help from the real mort pros
UPDATE: 8-3-09
-Some fixes for missed lines
-Fixed G-Alarm(misspelled something causing no backup)
-added Facebook backup(not fully tested)
-added world clock cities
-Changed backup of manila files to use INI
-If you have cooked an older version into your ROM, be sure to use the newest FlashBack to backup Manila data again. The new AutoRestore script relies on the new INI files.
-Any more software requests?
UPDATE: Huge update.
Added:
-more personal settings(Buttons)
-Tools*
-Manila Wallpaper and Weather(tested .png and .jpg wallpapers)
-Made a package which will restore all saved settings when cooked into ROM.
-Added option to Auto restore. Auto is enabled by default. Look under tools.
-Added support for some builds of Opera
-Added option to Auto load Manila after Flash as oposed to "Windows Default" AKA Titanium. I prefer Manila, so if you enable the option and its cooked in you can have it right after flash.
-Prepared for adding program registrations
Check it out and let me know if it is all working for you. Please note that I will not be held responsible for any loss of data(should that somehow occur, but dont know how it would). Attaching Visual Package and cab. Legacy package will come soon. Edit: Legacy is here, but not sure if it works as I dont use legacy. Please report back for others.
jmckeejr
EDIT: The "RestoreAll" mortscrpt in packages has an extra quotation mark on line 29. Remove the first one before cooking. Should look like this:
Code:
regwritedword("HKLM","Software\FlashBack","Finished",1)
as opposed to this:
Code:
regwritedword([B]"[/B]"HKLM","Software\FlashBack","Finished",1)
This is not a needed step, but it is to double check that Restoreall does not run more than once. There is provision in the script for it to delete the link from startup as well.
Another note: Some features still need some more work to function properly. This is all trial and error as I have to find all the appropriate keys for each item. Some have more than one key which needs backed up. Thanks for trying FlashBack
UPDATE: 7-27-09
After some more work with mortscript(and some help from Noonski, thanks bud) I have put together another backup script which backs up personal info such as :
-Bluetooth Partners
-Wifi Networks
-Owner Info
-Volume
-Rings and Alerts
-Backlight settings
It is still a work in progress, but figured I would put it out there for testing and also feedback on what else to add. Noonski showed me the command lines needed to export and import reg, so now it is just a matter of adding the correct keys. I am learning as I go, so bear with me here. Feel free to test this script and add feedback here. If you are skilled with mortscript feel free to take what I have and make it better. Here is the zip with a cab(which has the script, an exe with icon and dotfred's taskmanager to import the keys). I also included the script and exe to make it easier for others to add or change things. Thanks for trying it By the way I call it Flash Back because I flash so manyt ROMs and I just want my info back in an easy way
LINK RIGHT HERE
I am very new to mortscript, so this may not be as pretty as some of the pro's might be able to do. I am hoping that someone would be interested in this and develop it further. Basically, this will copy the saved game files from teeter(labrynth) and Resco Bubbles. I started out with teeter, then found the save file for Resco, and I am thinking of adding other games/Apps to the backup list. If you know where the program data is saved, should be pretty easy to add to the list.
This script is not as advanced as it could be, but does the job required. It copies only to a specific location. Which is "\storage card\phone backup\*"
it will create the needed folders, and have separate folder for each program. I wanted it this way because I can then make a script to run in SASHIMI and restore everything on auto.
Attatched are 2 cabs. One is only for Teeter backup, the second is for both games. Includes shortcut and icons.
This is one of my first mortscript applications, so go easy on me. Just thought I would share. I know I am flashing so many ROMs that I could never get to the end of any games, so it sounded pretty handy to me. Once I get things commented out and cleaned up a bit, I will share the script for mort-pro's to fix up and optimize(hopefully). I will also share my autorestore script for SASHIMI or UC when I get it done and checked.
This seems handy dandy! I play Teeter and Resco Bubbles often! Now if only it had a cool interface with two big fancy buttons haha.
Edit: Never mind. Opened the cab and found your script.
Can you tell me where the Resco Bubbles data is stored? I had to do a hard reset and lost my saved games. I have my backups. Would love to recover the files.
Thanks!
Jason
This could become a usefull script - I for one have backed up my GAlarm reg keys because it is so annoying entering my alarm settings everytime I flash or hard reset.
Other things i'd like to be included for back up / restore...
Device Name
bluetooth pairings
WIFI settings
Game High scores & level achieved
threaded messaging ON
basically all the things I re-enter when I flash the phone!
Still learning about mort, so hopefully someone an step up to help. We would need to find a way to copy the registry entries for some of these things or somehow export and import. I know SASHIMI uses sktools, or used to at least to import export registry entries. I'll have a look at the script when I get some time off. Going to be busy for at least a few days with work, but this sounds interesting to me. I'd like to be able to hard reset or flash a ROM and have everything set up the way I want and everything restored. Although most of the registry tweaks I do in my build process, but the saved data really helps.
Lol, how to cheat at solitaire:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Solitaire.
Not that I've ever done it before.
I was thinking we could also make it so you could select a level to start at by keeping individual file from each level progression. This might not be the best way, but it might be an option. Would have to have a copy of the userdata.dat from each level. ie: complete level 1, copy userdata, complete 2 copy userdata, etc. Anyone interested? not sure how big the app would become this way, but I think it would be nice to choose level to begin. Anyone interested in helping get all the files? I could write a script to copy the file, and maybe rename each one as userdata_1.dat, ....2.dat, etc. Or maybe someone could figure out how to edit the data file correctly. Looks like there is only this:
Code:
6>
inside of the dat file for level 16.
Code:
Ӧ
level 18. Seems random to me, but maybe someone can understand if there is something to understand.
Added a new script. See first post
Updated Flash Back script. See first post
UPDATED. See first post
Just a little trick that I use that might be helpful... SKTracker is priceless! So - for example - if you have a setting you would like to save, start up SKTracker and take a snapshot, then change the setting, then take another snapshot. Then compare the two in SKTracker. It will show you all the registry entries that changed.
Uploaded lates FlashBack version 0.5. See first post
I want to make this into an actual program. Would any developer like to help? I am a total newb trying to learn VB or similar. Could someone share some sample code to :
-copy mutiple files(or make compressed backup in a centralized .zip)
-import/export registry
I know these sound like simple things, but as a newb it would be nice to see sample code I have figured out the UI part and navigating forms, but still dont know these basic commands
Thanks for any help or if a developer would like to help with an open source files/registry backup software
Updated to FlashBack 0.6. See first post for details
Hello, does that backup Manila's Facebook-Contacts link?
Gday - i have tried using FlashBack to backup the following items
Personal Data -> Rings and Alerts
Personal Data -> Wifi Networks
Software -> Resco Explorer
Manila -> Weather
All of them say they were succesful, but on restoring only the Manila weather worked - everything else did not restore. And when i look in the Phone Bakup folder on my storage card I have a Manila subfolder wih Manila.ini and Weather folder with a manila file in it (which is obviuosly the weather backup) and the only other folder is called RegKeys but it is completely empty. So evidently the Rings/Alerts, Reso Explorer and Wifi Networks are not creating any reg files or other files in the backup area
Any ideas?
amazing!!!! i'll cook it in my next rom compilation to give it a try!
thank you
Yeah gotta try this out. Awesome idea. But has DEV stopped?

Yeah seems to gave stopped... i never had a response to my queries in november (about 3 posts up). Most of the items i tried to backup with this script didnt actually seem to create any backup files and thus werent restored.
I just researched and discovered myself the various files and registry items that need to be backed up for the various things i wanted to maintain between flashes, and use SASHIMI to do it. It is brilliant and saved me hours of customising after a flash. I strongly reccomend to check out SASHIMI
Hi all! Need help...
I looked in the forum (Diamond and blackstone), but I cant seem to find a definitive answer...
Is there a way to restore the TF3D original (stock) menu/slider icons and taskbar icons in a blackstone?
I found the TF3D Config 0.67 tool for the diamond (that includes the "restore defaults" option), but HD user opinions are that it doesnt work properly on the blackstone, and it has some battery leakage issues...
I need this just because I was messing around and installed a few icons and transparencies (NisseDilligaf Sprintmenuicons and others), and I cant seem to uninstall them and revert to the original TF3D icons; didnt back up files , and now I'm trying to avoid a hard reset...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Afaik hard reset won't restore the original files since you've re-writen them in ROM. You need to flash the original ROM. Unless, of course, you can get a hold on the original files for your ROM.
Hm...even worst then... I'll check other ways of getting things back to "stock" icons...
any other thoughts anyone?

You can't rewrite files in rom.
To get original icons back you should find their files in windows folder and delete them. OS will simply recreate files from rom. If you can find them you can delete all manila files in windows folder (but that will take long time and you will loose all manila modifications). - that's for TF3D
As for taskbar icons you can install any other taskbar and uninstall it then.

Thanks...next time I screw it up, I'll know the "easy" solution...I did a hard reset yesterday and I recovered all the stock slider icons/config and taskbar icons as well...
The ROM I'm currently using comes with Manila 2.1 pre-installed. While it's mostly unmodded, the modification to apply the home tab background to all tabs was put in, by the ROM author. I don't like this feature and would like to remove it so that the home tab has my custom wallpaper and the rest of the tabs have the default black background.
I've searched through the EXT package for the latest Manila 2.1 release and I can't locate these files, so I was wondering if you guys could help. Looking at the _setup.xml for the cab version of the all tabs mod, it would appear I need these files:
1c684cd8_manila
5c9aa261_manila
7adfaca3_manila
SetupDLL.dll
Can someone help me out here by either uploading them, for me, or explaining to me where I can find them. Thank you in advance.
You can find them in the package release of GenY Manila

Yeah, I goofed. I unhid system files, but forgot to direct the search tool to include system files in it's results. Thanks, though.
hey guys,
I'm new to the whole windows mobile thing, but I have all kinds of experience over the last 15 years with computers. I've been on xda-dev constantly for the last week. I'm feeling pretty dumb as I can't even figure how to get started with cfc gui. I think once I know the basics I can catch on pretty quick.
I wanna start with patching manila to be able to use cfc images. As far as I can tell I need to copy the _manila files to a folder on my computer. I've tried that and point cfc gui to that directory. I've patched that. So then what? Copy allll of those files back over to the phone? or Storage card then phone? There has got to be an easier way. It seems like cfc gui should be able to start and stop the tf3d app on my phone somehow....
Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Alright so I don't think I can copy the patched manila.exe and mode9.dll files over the original ones in windows directory. I've found chainfire's app unlock program, but it still will not overwrite files. Even if i uncheck tf3d in Today settings.
I'll still be researching, but if anyone has any advice I'm sure it will be helpful.
BTW I have a Verizon TP2 so I'm not sure if what I'm reading is for GSM or what.... Trying to make sure I have backups of everything...
Here's what I did.
1. Install ChainFire's AppUnlock cab.
2. Connect the device to PC via Activesync.
3. Open CFC-GUI and go to "Patch manila on device".
That's it. I didn't have to disable TF3D since CFC-GUI actually did that for me.
Yea, i havent tried that since i installed AppUnlock. I'll try that when i get back to my pc. Thanks for the info!
