Note: you will need to do some work to get this to work now, regarding the website it gets its data from.
The not2advanced site has been down for a while and that is where it gets its data from.
But, a registry entry controls this and you can manually change it and use any site you want.

1. Uninstall the old version.
2. Install the new version. Do not install to storage card.
UC and Sashimi and XDA_UC?
Reported to work with Sashimi.
No one has reported whether it works or does not work with regular UC, but there should be no reason for it not to, since it does not replace any files.
I install through XDA_UC everytime I flash a ROM.
How to Install the new version.
Copy the cab to your device using active sync.
Install the CAB to the device.
Do not install to storage card.
Usage Instructions.
1. Launch the program from the shortcut off the Start Menu
2. Add, Edit, Copy, View, or Delete Cities.
(Do not delete cities that are currently selected!)
3. Close the program, with the left soft menu - Exit
There is no need to know the offset or msid. This app has a drop down to let you select the timezone.
This app allows you to make changes to your cities without causing world clock issues.
If you like what I've done and want to donate
Would you buy me beer if I gave you this at a bar?
If so, here's a donate link. Every couple bucks adds up.

Seriously, if you like this app or find it useful, really donate something, even just a dollar.
Otherwise it's like stiffing the server or bar tender.
You can stiff the server or bar tender, but you shouldn't.

As of August 31, 2010 there are 8081 downloads of version 3.5.
I have made less than 5 pennies per user on average. It's gotta be worth at least a dollar to you.
For Accuweather Codes:
See Post #633 For a way to get accuweather codes directly from accuweather for free.
Screen Shots - Version 3.3
Screen Shots - Version 3.3
Although none of the pictures show non U.S. cities, this works fine for cities world wide.
For Non U.S. and Canada cities, the State field is not displayed when Adding, Editing, Deleting, or Viewing.
The finger friendly menu options are not my creation.
You must use this Exit menu to automatically restart TouchFLO 3D or HTC Sense.
This is why it was moved to the Left Soft Menu.
Version 3.4
Almost identical to 3.4, so I am not recapturing and uploading tonight.

Known Issues
Some users have reproted that this does not install well when flashing a a new ROM and using UC. Just do a normal install after flashing and all will work.
For some version of Sense, such as the new updated Verizon ROM, the country table was removed. There is a post that has a modified file with the country table added back in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5319984&postcount=363
For users of Sense, where the _alias columns were added, accect characters should not be used for city or country. Just use ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ and abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.
For Russian users, just don't use accent characters, I don't know the Russian alphebet or Russian.
I noticed today, that it did not actually stop HTC Sense. I think it may have been related to the Home Screen Timeout. I have now unchecked that box. I'll have to try it in a few days to see if that clears it up.
I recommend a soft reset before runnning for the first time.
Realistically, with Windows Mobile in general, it's probably a good idea to soft reset everyday even though it's alot better.
FAQ
Will this work for my Rom?
If the ROM uses Manila 2.1 or Manila 2.5, and now Sense 2.5, this will let you edit the database file.
Energy ROM works without modification.
If it works with your ROM and it is not listed here, please post. I will update this page.
Could someone please read through the posts of this thread and make a consolidated list.
This entry is put into the registry:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.ServerURLOverride=h[URL="http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=%25ls&version= 1&device=innovation"]ttp://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=%25ls&version= 1&device=innovation[/URL]
If it did not originally work with your ROM and you did something not mentioned to make it work, please post and I will add it here.

Added ability to pick Conflipper weather server.
Changed icon.
Added support for ROMs that don't have a country table. (Need someone with the updated Verizon ROM that has not applied a previous fix to test this.)

Update 8/14/2009 at about 3:30 PM CST
I have put a CAB file up to do the install.
I have only tested this by installing to the device, not to storage card.
Back up your manila file if you have already added cities.
I replace it with the default with the install to handle the readonly issue that some experienced.
Also, this adds the registry entry to use the URL.
I still need to add an icon for it.
Update 8/14/2009 at about 1AM CST
I just uploaded a release version of my Windows Mobile App to Edit Manila 2.1 Weather Cities. This handles updates, adds, deletes, and copies.
My unit tests have all worked successfully.
Update 2 for 8/13/2009
Pulled the original Mobile PPC Beta release and put a new on up.
Only one person had downloaded it and this filters the city list by state to speed the load up.
Updated 8/13/2009
Uploaded a mobile version [Beta]. Install is still manual.
Must manually shut down TFL3D before running.
You can add and delete with it.
Copy the exe and the 2 dlls to a folder, maybe create a folder WeatherEdit under Program Files.
Then copy TimeZones.db to the windows folder.
(You will fisrt have to copy it to your device and then copy it with total commander or some other tool.)
Create a shortcut to the exe.
And your ready to go.
It's a little slow (not too bad though) populating all the US cities. I'll add a combo box for state in the next version.
Updated 8/12/2009
Added drop down list to pick the timezone.
Drop down list will show the timezone for the row selected in the grid.
Made the msid and offset columns readonly, since they are now set with the drop down.
Updated 8/10/2009
I have put version 1.1 here.
It fixes some issues with the new city not appearing immediately.
It also reduces the size of the manila file by calling the sqlite method vacuum.
It now immediately promts for the filename.
And it has a name and an about box.
Added a link for help, but have not done that yet.
8/8/2009
I spent last night writing a simple program to edit the Manila 2.1 Cities.
It works and I originally posted it in the thread for Energy ROM Raphael, because that is what I am using.
Planned Features
Do not allow duplicate city creation.
Ability to change weather server URL. There is a weather server URL by conflipper that works. Also I would like to add the ability to manually enter one.
Ability to reorder the selected cities.
Ability to add a Country.
Ability to set a default Country, and State.
Remove City from selected cities if a city is deleted, or disallow the deletion.
Set and reorder selected cities.
Backup and Restore Settings.
Use code to get the name of storage card, so users of non english ROMs don't need to pick it before backup and restore.
Hopefuls:
Use web connection to lookup timezone and accuweather code.
Store Original, Added, Deleted, and Updated cities in seperate files to allow backup and restore between versions and allows restore to default.
Add ability to delete multiple rows. (Maybe)
Hello JVH3!
I have tested your app with my diamond with manila 2.1...
i can add cities without problems, find them in the list and can add them.
Manila works without problems(no "hang up" or somthing like that) but the weather gets not updatet (No weather data available) in the added cities...

The cities I have added have worked. Did you correctly enter the AccuWeatherCode?
Did the AccuWeatherCode you put in work in Manila 2.0?
Some others in the energy ROM thread have used it successfully as well. I would double check the accuweather code.
Could you tell me one city you are trying to add and what country it is in?
And what code you have entered for the AccuWeatherCode for it?
I'd like to see if I can reproduce the issue.
I have used it in both NRG roms 20090806 and 20090809 and it updates well. No problems at all as a matter of fact.

I suppose I should name it and put that in the title bar and maybe give it an icon too. I started this on Saturday and worked straight through until I had something functional, which was late Saturday / early Sunday. I was kind of tired, and figured the window dressing could wait. Next release will have all that.
Thanks for finding that city code and testing it with the Energy ROM.

Does that Rom have this registry entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.ServerURLOverride =
"http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=%25ls&version= 1&device=innovation"
The double quotes are not actualy a part of it, but in order to make the forum not treat it as a link I had to put double quotes around it.
There is no space in ServerURLOverride. I'm not sure where it is coming from, but it is not visible when editing.
This is what is in the Energy ROM.
I have tryied with French Rhodium Rom Stock and it doesn't run.
The city can be selected but can't be updated. An error occur saying that it is not possible to update this city. Also the other cities were updated.
Code is :
EUR|FR|FR012|RAMBOUILLET

I just tested this city with the Energy ROM from 8/6 and it worked fine. Sunny and 81 degrees Fahrenheit. Cloudy tomorrow.
Check to see if you have the registry entry I mentioned in my previous post:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.ServerURLOverwrride
I'm thinking some weather server URLs limit the cities that they support.
The Weather Master 2.2 used to set this registry entry for you.
Can you post the archive 2330fc3c_manila but without any register, becaus i want to clear all, and i selected all and click delete city but only erase one, and i die if i need to erase one each time, thanks for the work.

Here you go. I zipped it up and attached it. Turns out this did find a bug. At least 1 city must be in the database. So I have left 1 place holder city in this.
You probably will need to add some real cities before putting this onto your phone.
Also, since you won't have reference to the msid and offset in this file, make sure to get that from the original file. I plan to have a drop down for this at some point where you just pick your timezone and don't need to know the offset or the msid.
If you don't put the correct offset and msid in, you will have issues with the world clock.
Initially I noticed there was not much different in the filesize. I found there is a cleanup method in sqliteadmin that greatly reduced the filesize after I was done. I will be looking into making this happen from within the program in the next release. This barebones file is only 24KB, compared with about 1MB.
Thanks for your answer.
Even if i've modified the weather server (tested correctly with stock countrys) i can't upload weather for new cities.
This is not the first thread in this forum talking about possibility to add weather cities, and none of them run's in my french stock rom. Don't konw what's wrong with it.
One more time thanks at all for your sotfware and your efforts.

I ask two things in providing these SYS files and ROMs.
1.) If you post a mirror, state that it is a mirror, and link to the first page of this thread.
2.) If you find errors in the SYS files I have provided, and you fix them, please report back to me via PM which SYS you have, when you Downloaded it (because they may get updated), and Exactly what was done to fix the error. This way I can make the corrections, give you credit, and update the files for everyone else.
Okay folks, here's a new thread to break up some of the Chaos. I am currently breaking down everything for Build 21195 and I will do my best to keep things organized (as far as links to builds) in the first three posts. This way, we don't have to search around to find a particular RUU link. These Builds are designed for the Titan and for Verizon. If you are not on Verizon, load up the DCD Carrier CAB for your carrier. Many thanks go out to the countless individuals and teams that have played a role in educating me as well as releasing some great builds for WM6.x.
I use XIP's compiled by dan-htc-touch (PPCGeeks).
If it weren't for members like Mr. Free (XDA/PPCGeeks), Drellisdee (PPCGeeks), Conflipper (PPCGeeks), GC14 (XDA-for the Arcsoft CABs we had to use in the beginning of this project), and countless other members here on XDA-Developers, over on PPCGeeks, HTCGeeks, and other Windows Mobile sites all over the world, many of us wouldn't be where we are now....Beta Testing.
Remember, these are all Beta Releases of a potentially unstable OS. It is very possible that they could get you in over your head. I am providing these builds for testing purposes only, and I am not responsible for any damage that may result from your actions of using these files. You do so at your own risk.
All links contain a RARed RUU and a txt file that lists what OEMs were added. Just to help you follow along. There are a couple of extras I throw in that are not stock to the builds, but are needed for edits and testing purposes. These include, but are not limited to: Total Commander (File Explorer), nueExtROM, nuePerformance, and the Network Plug-in. These were not designed for these builds, but have ran for me and I use them in my testing. You may use them if I post manual fixes to get you by until the next release.

*Be sure to thank <bbsandkm> over at PPCGeeks for this one. ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=915678&postcount=3890 )
THE BUILD 21725 RELEASES BELOW HAVE ISSUES WITH THE CAMERA WORKING. TRY THE CAMERA FIX FROM POST #2 IF YOU ACTUALLY USE THE TITAN'S CAMERA. OTHERWISE, THE CAMERA ISSUE IS BEING WORKED ON BY THEPPCKITCHEN TEAM AND OTHERS.

Titan_FDE_21725_Beta_1.1_Verizon
Due to unknown conflicts with files pertaining to the Sprint Carrier OEM, I have decided to pull this build until the issue can be resolved. Sprint users (and other carriers), please flash the Verizon CAB and load your DCD Carier cab if needed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
***Microsoft MyPhone has been reported and confirm to be non functional. Please download and install the Microsoft MyPhone CAB to correct this issue*** (Thanks to <mattsm> for providing the cab file)
*This is nothing like you are used to! Thanks to the hard work of <Colonel00> and the PPCKitchens team, we have managed to add the WM7 Titanium Project to this ROM.
*Thanks to <mattsm> (XDA) for his hard work in helping me test and fix a number of issues. And also for helping to get the Battery/Memory gauges into a fully functional OEM. Great work!
*You will need to manually run Showaco's Titanium Weather and manually insert various files to get the weather app to look right.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
ok after looking a my works 2003 exchange server there are a lot of things that could be giving errors im looking in to all of these as we speak hang tight with this there are some add-on's that are needed im looking all the errors i got today
but here is this you can do a domain enroll and sync that way and could use active sync with out look that is attached to a domain
here look at this site it explains it in detail http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292066

Here's how it all went down... for the test here (oh, and 21195 is out, update to that version plz for the next build)..
1. Setup on PC, set up to sync against my server (I am on the local domain in my home), it seemed to sync mail and I was able to select my folders to sync.
2. Make sure I am fully sync'ed....all good here...all mail is on the 6800 as requested
3. Disconnect from PC, connect via VZW internet and sync again..
4. Activesync on WM said it sync'ed fine (checked time difference).
5. Logged in to 3rd party mail to send a test mail to my account on my exchange server.
6. Heard test e-mail arrived on my desktop. Attempt to sync again, active sync error 0x80070057...Pull 3 hairs out of my head..
Nope, does not work, I know my 2003 Exchange server very well, This is a problem with this build, I have been syncing for a long time from WM 5.0 (when 5.0 was new)

You cannot add Nitrous Oxide to an engine with with 2 dead cylinders and expect it to run 9's in the quarter mile. So why add features to an OS that isn't running at 100% yet?....It isn't logical.

Yoda,
What does this have to do with exchange ? I looked up Domain Enroll (never had to use on a WM device so I didn't know too much about it), You need Microsoft's System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 (MDM) to be able to Enroll a WM deivce to the domain, from what I have read.
One of the places I read about it...
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/samsung-sch-i760/115091-wm-6-1-domain-enrollment.html
I hope you figure out something on this, I know I am behind with a old 2003 Exchange server but, a lot of us need to be able to sync here.
I thank you for your efforts here !!!
exchange 2003 (behind in times)
dont read in to the title but here is my thoughts on this yes to domain enroll can be done but major problem is this for it to work right you need a vpn from exchange server but you also have to have it linked with server 2003 witch is a another part you have to have the device setting in the AD right for the phone for it to sync right if not you will get a comm error unable to connect witch is what i was getting this after noon now on the other hand looking at the set up it is really simple just have to make sure you have the server client active sync plug in and service turned on in the MMC console and have all the setting for the plug ins im going to be doing more work with this tomorrow i work for a medical foundation that is looking at going from a blackberry server to a wm and we are going to be getting like 200 new HTC phones so i have to get this figured out as well
Just installed
I'm definitely liking this build much more so than previous ones, runs alot smoother, could use a little more free ram, but hey, it's a beta so I'm not really stressing that, I'll just use it bare bones for now to get a feel.
One of the first things I've noticed is that for some reason, running the alignment screen makes my mogul freeze up, I have to soft reset to get out of that, the default setting is accurate enough for now though so not that big of a deal at the moment, I'm not really a power user but I definitely use enough of the features to be able to give some good input...I guess more to come stay tuned....
great work, keep it coming.
Missing files for proper build
Please review Post #3 regularly. I will be posting files that I am missing to complete build 21195. I can already see there are some changes in 21195 by looking at the SYS. There are new files. If you locate any of the files in RED, please ZIP the files and post them. Once the correct files have been located, I will change the file name in post #3 to GREEN and place the member's name next to the located file. This is to ensure all those involved get credit for their efforts in building 21195.
Thanks.
ok, I have to stop playing with this, I need to have another life besides living on these 2 sites....
Anyway, as for 21193 1.2, No games ? No Voice control app ? (I know there was a newer version of the voice control app in PPCkitchen that you didn't have to train)

Don't take any offence to what I said....Exchange 2003 is still current in most companies I have worked in...
As for behind in times, I can't count how many times I have been doing work on domains (migrations, active directory issues, etc) and find old NT 4 servers and even a working Exchange 5.5 (do you remember that ? ) setup in a sub domain someplace...
Ah, blackberry to WM....fun, fun, fun.... Did you have a part of that ?
Contacts x2 and Transparency Start menu
Just wanted to see if any luck with fixes yet? Also in 21193 WMP library on mine is acting a little funny. Screen flashes some
Thanks a million for the hard work.
21198
Build 21198 XIP and SYS are being downloaded as I type. 21195 Beta 1 will be posted in the first post before I have 21198 up and going. These builds are coming pretty quick now. The word on PPCGeeks right now is that 21198 works with Exchange 2003.....off to find files and get this thing going.....and they say nothing good comes of being unemployed! Back to work, you folks are waiting.

It's been said Exchange 2003 works with 21195 now...
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=797671&postcount=1695
Wow, we were just discussing last night if you wanted to drop 21193 and move on to 21195, now 21198 ? If you didn't start 21195 already, I would of said to skip over it.
I wonder what will be be here in a few days....
Is this a bug or setting ? On 1.2 21193, as we know as this point activesync with Exchange 2003 does not work. So I went into Activesync on the device and put Sync During to Manually for Peak/Off peak.
So, it's not syncing correcty what happens is every time I pull the phone out of my pocket, it's connected to the data network (it keeps trying to sync, even tho I set it to manual sync only). It atempts but does not disconnect, so it's always on.
I don't mind being connected to the internet all the time but, if I miss it and do not disconnect it, My battery goes from lasting 2 days to 4-5 hours.
I'm not kidding, when I was on 21169, my battery life was bad, really bad (I'd be charging the phone 2-3 times a day because of it), to the point where I removed the password to the data network so it would not connect to it just to get most of the day out of the battery (and it would still pop up all the time asking for the network password).
Any idea ?

I'm not sure. Like I said before, I don't even use Exchange. But at anypoint in time, you can open up the Task Manager and see ActiveSync running. Even after I manually close the app. It has been this way on every 6.5 build I have flashed to my phone. (And don't ask how many, because I haven't the slightest clue...but it's a lot of flashes.)
Yesterday when I took the boy to the zoo, I unplugged the phone at about 8:30 in the morning, and the battery lasted until 8 at night when I got back to the house. I had my data connected and AIM, Yahoo Messenger, and MSN signed in and running, and my email accounts (Live, Yahoo, and Gmail) all set to the most frequent retrieval setting. The only time during the day that I was plugged into the car charger was on my way to and from the zoo, which was about a 30 minute drive. In the beginning (21139, 21159, and 21169) I found that IE was causing a major drain on the battery. I haven't noticed it as much since IE was fixed somewhere along the way (21176 I believe.) I tested this theory by putting the IE from 21176 into 21159 Beta 5, and I got better battery life.
Anyway, I just RARed up 21195. the translation is almost complete oother than the 3 files I listed in Post #3. I am off to work on 21198 now and see what we have there. Will post with any updates. As of right now, the list in post #3 is for 21195. If I locate any files I need in 21198, I will make sure you guys can tell which build I am missing which files for in Post #3.
a bit more on exchange 2003:
i enabled verbose logging
obvious things are
User-Agent: MSFT-PPC/5.2.1003 from mr2
User-Agent: MSFT-PPC/5.2.5000 from 21193
also
MS-ASProtocolVersion: 2.5 from mr2
MS-ASProtocolVersion: 14.0 from 21193
ms-asprotocolversion 14.0?????????
i cant find that in the registry to change back to 2.5 can someone tell me what key its getting that from?
exchange 2003
ok every one that is having the connection problem
well it is simple there are 2 ways to connect and one program needed
first off you have to set up your active sync right
go to active sync and go to the tools drop down menu
go to options in there it gives you the option to add exchange
click on the Microsoft exchange and click on settings
it gives you the access to add your log on credentials
and you will be able to add your information for your server names and ip address
but remember you have to enroll your wm device before doing that
by adding it to the server and also setting the user accounts in Active D
and also needing to make sure you have your wifi set up so you can us wireless sync and you should be good to go and jsut remember if you are testing this on a live server to make sure you back up all contacts and test and e-mails before syncing and or befor you enroll in the domain that way you do no lose any thing the ver of 21193 beta 1.2 i am running has no problems syncing with exchange and is vary stable thanks to the long hrs of work from my self and tplane 37
any more questions send me a pm and i will try and help

Cool thanks
I need to sort out how I am going to show the results (the request/receive should be done tonight) then it's into beta and I'll try to figure out how to make a cab then get it sent out
Flibb from hexus here, count me in
A quick update
The search page is done (I'm going to add a search field after the first release, want to get a working product out first) and I am sorting out the data at processing it currently (when you click on an item it loads a new page with more info on it then you can open in a mobile bowser or go back to the results)
I'm ALMOST there guys, I have got to sort out the xml still and embed a browser in a new window to show more details on a deal... or I will sort out my own way around it
And another teaser screenshot, I have added support for tags (The search function works great right now, does all the filtering correctly.... BUT I am dealing with the returned XML currently)
Unfortunately you can only use 2 words as anything non alphanumeric is converted to '-' or the API wont recognise it but i'm working around it so you can use as many tags as you want (Just fixed this actually)
So I have the returned data to sort then it should be go I am going to add a 3rd screen where you can get more details on an individual deal (and load in an image of the product)
That is on a 240x400 screen so an Omnia should be fine
If anyone has dealt with DataSets and how to organise it in a ListView please let me know, I'm trying to deal with it right now and it's a PITA as I haven't used it before
If you need webspace; PM me

Just finished off v1.0.1, more some incremental changes than anything else. Thanks for the comments from some of the people that have used it
v1.0.1
Changes:
- Fixed installer (app shows up in programs menu as HotUKDeals (with the icon )
- Warning if you get no results instead of loading a blank page
- Slight redesign of results menu (the description at the bottom only shows when you have selected a deal
http://rapidshare.com/files/274779810/HotUKDealsInstallerv1.0.1.CAB
installed and working a treat on my topaz
Cheers
Apologies for not keeping this more up to date, some good and bad news...
Good:
I just got back from holiday
I have plenty of ideas for things to try out for improving the application
I won the category I entered for the contest it was for
http://www.hotukdeals.com/rest-api/contest
Bad:
Obviously being on hliday means no development work done since last update.
Resuming studies in the next few weeks for my degree so it will be much more of a side project as I work on my dissertation
I have had very little feedback on it To be honest I want as much critical feedback as possible.
I'll be working on my own web hosting to avoid reliance on Rapidshare also (I want figures for dowloads of each version etc and having this project on multiple forums means keeping track can be very difficult!)
Thanks for this handy little app works great for me running 6.1 21054
htc prophet
Works on HTC Touch HD, wvga, standard WWE 6.1 ROM
Really like this app, was looking for a PS3, think I may have found one for a good price
Bump to the update, I am going to have some time, I plan to add
- Option to go direct to the website via the link in the page (I have figured out what it is)
But I'd like to know if anything needs to be fixed, if there are any negative points please tell me as I will have some time next month to fix them (got sick leave for a number of weeks due to an upcoming operation)
Been trying to download from rapidshare, but will not let me do so unless I join up, as "no more free slots available"!
Any alternatives?

Worked fine for me on 1.0.1 and the .netCF cabs if you try it again as a free user
Now working, it appears rapidshare blocks free users when it is busy.
Thankyou.
WinMo 6.5 on HTC Touch HD.
App works great, nice and fast, love it.
Cosmetic suggestions:
On the 1st page, maybe make the menu options more finger friendly?
On the results page, maybe split the backgound a bit, like with lined results, which highlight when selected.
Also when selected maybe add a lond decription and the small image?
Badly formatted rough mock up:
...and make the whole bottom part a URL link to the deal itself, like the "Go To Deal" button.
I'm on HotUkDeals EVERY DAY. I love a bargain me.
That looks like a decent suggestion, I have a lot on (doing some demo work on the 360 ATM as well as some big side projects) so I'll try and make the changes that I can seeing as it should be a fairly minor thing to do
I'll try the first page suggestions, will need to see what I can do from the button side of things
[APP][14.Aug][v1.3] "Back FavPeople Up!" - Backup/Restore of TouchFlo Favorite people
14th Aug 09
A new version is released to add support for new manila 2.5. More information can be found in the release note.
5th Aug 09
Another minor release to provide the silent execution capability , i.e. the ability to execute the backup/restore process from command line. More information about the supported parameters can be found in the release note. This version comes with two sample shortcut files that can be found in the program folder.
4th Aug 09
Minor update to the first version. The only functionality added in this minor version is ringtone support. Also added some cosmetic to the folder browser. See release note for more information
3rd Aug 09
Decided to release for public testing, as I have tested the backup and restore functions looks and everything looks okay to me. I have tested this including a hard reset, and my experience is the restore works perfectly well for me. But there might be scenarios that I have yet considered, so don't blame on the developer if you did not manage to recover your favorite contacts 100%
Screenshot and Cabs are attached. The version release information will be posted in the next post.

Hi guys,
not sure if this has been done already, if so, please pardon this duplicate work. But I have tried to search the forums, and I couldn't find a solution thus this work of mine.
Basically, for flash junkies like me, I have to manually add the favorite contacts in the people tab, after each ROM Flash. I found a way to backup and restore this setting, but it needs to be done "programmatically". i.e. it's not a file or registr backup/restore, unless you want to archive the entire PIM database.
I need further testing, but so far it looks promising. Here's some screenshot for you.

Version 1.3 (Released on 14th Aug 2009)
Added manila 2.5 support. This will backup and restore the ordering of your favorite contact, and the default contact method. Without this utility, your favorite contacts may be restored after you hard reset (if you have sync at least once before your hard reset), but the ordering and default contact method will not be restored!
Updated the ringtone support. Will backup/restore contact's ringtone setting even if the contact is not a favorite contact in Touchflo3D people tab.
Revamp the UI.
Version 1.2 (Released on 5th Aug 2009)
Minor update
Added command line mode. Two mode of command line execution are supported, namely backup and restore. The syntax of the command is BackFavPeopleUp.exe [mode] [folderpath], where [mode] is either /backup or /restore and [folderpath] specifies the path where your favorite contact information will be archived/read.
Two sample shortcut files can be found in %Program Files%\Zenyee\Back FavPeople Up, one for restore, and the other for backup. You can copy the program Back FavPeople Up.exe to \Storage Card\Program Files, and then copy the restore shortcut file to your Sashimi or UC folder.
Version 1.1 (Released on 4th Aug 2009)
Minor update
Added ringtone support. Only path of ringtones are backup and restored. You would still need to backup/restore the physical ringtone files. Would recommend that you use tool like UC or Sashimi or PPCPIMBackup to backup/restore these ringtone files. May consider backup/restore physical files in future release
Updated with some cosmetic changes to the folder browser function.
Version 1.0 (Released on 3rd Aug 2009)
First public beta release
Requires .NET 3.5CF to be installed
Only supports backing and restoring of favorite contacts (and default call method) in TouchFlo's "People" tab
Sashimi user can place the executable file in the EXE folder and run.
Ringtone and other contacts backup/restore are not supported
Restore requires you to have your contacts restored first (using Microsoft My Phone, PPC Pimbackup, Activesync, etc)
To do List
[Added in Release 1.2) Command line support
User choice to restore all or partial information
Multi-language support
Prompt for phone reset after a restore is complete
Mass update of ringtone or favorite contact by category
Bug Tracker
UI shows a wrong version (fixed in release 1.3 and future releases)
Potential to be very useful, will await release, will also be very handy when Activesync forces a complete resync and therefore loses the connections for the favorites.

Well done. This is one of the few things missing in my backup, flash and restore routine.

Hi guys,
not sure if this has been done already, if so, please pardon this duplicate work. But I have tried to search the forums, and I couldn't find a solution thus this work of mine.
Basically, for flash junkies like me, I have to manually add the favorite contacts in the people tab, after each ROM Flash. I found a way to backup and restore this setting, but it needs to be done "programmatically". i.e. it's not a file or registr backup/restore, unless you want to archive the entire PIM database.

Great! Thats the only thing I have to do manually now. I am working on some scripts to backup all of my other programs and settings. Cant wait.
Cant wait for this - this will make my life complete - well this a proper SBSH-like Calendar tab showing Tasks as well as Appointments and a Notes Tab... ooo, and a million dollars

A backup+restore of pim.vol does the trick, but I welcome a way that works better with ActiveSync. Last time I restored pim.vol I ended up with duplicates.
Also, are you able to backup+restore contact pictures? Any hi-res mug shots are not propagated to Exchange.
Thanks guys for the encouragement, I will tidy up the code over the next few days, and release for beta testing.
@ugumba, in principle I can do the contact pictures backup as well, as I plan to do the same for the ringtone (I know there's a program recently released for that purpose), but the favorite contact will be my main focus.
this is defnitely one of the most important app developed recently !!!!
That's pretty sweet!! I can't wait to try it. So far I have been using a reg for that... but most haven't. This should be much easier.
Let me know if you want me to make some efficient GFX for it. I'd be glad to.
DID I JUST SEE RINGTONE TOO!?!?!?!?!?! Wow! this makes me giddy!
Since you are gong in this direction, any chance you might want to try to get a bit more passive contact backup solution in general?? PIM backup tends to make duplicates in outlook, and I can't figure out why. I think it might have something to do with security with activesync.
It would be awesome to have a program that could simply update my contacts back and fourth... don't know if that's possible though.

I don't know the answer - however, I wonder why you backup your contacts when you synchronize with Outlook?
I synchronize with Exchange myself, and use PPCPimBackup heavily - however, I make sure it only backs up (and restores) my SMSes and call logs, which are not synchronized anywhere else.
This is just what I was searching for:
Would you please consider the following features as well:
- backup contact-facebook links
- backup my card (Or my contact card, whatever)
- backup selected cities in the weather panel
- backup selected cities in the clock
- backup the program shortcuts in the programs panel (or Manilla start menu)
Thanks for your initiative and efforts...

Good requests, but these are trivial to backup from the registry or file system. Get SASHIMI (see my sig), read its manual, then setup SASHIMI to back all these items up using its INI files.
The OP has a solution for backup up something which is *not* trivial, since the HTC favorites are buried inside pim.vol, a file with almost all other PIM data, in a relatively obscure binary database file format. Backing up and restoring the entire file is not a good idea, since its format may change between ROMs, and you might get problems with duplicates in Outlook etc.
I haven't looked into facebook connections, but the rest of your requests are located here:
Your contact card: HKCU\Software\HTC\People\OwnerInfo
WM owner info: HKCU\ControlPanel\Owner
Weather cities: HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.CityList
World Clock cities: HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\WorldClock.CityList
Start menu/Programs panel: HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher

like some one has said, one can use activesync (desktop or exchange server) to backup the contacts. So I'm not going to reinvent the wheel here. The only reason why I'm doing for ringtone (potentially) is because that's not being sync with the desktop/server.
Nice job, but for some info the latest manila 2.5 does this automatically now, so I'm presuming anything new out of HTC will do the same thing.
It does so by automatically assigning the contacts to a new category, HTCFavourite. Then they are backed up and restored with outlook, it's not perfect as the favourites tab puts them back in alphabetical order.
just a heads up in case you hadn't seen it..
I guess if you set your system up to save as HTCfavourites, then future manila versions would restore them automatically?

yes I'm aware that 2.5 will solve it (with the solution that you have just outlined). But 2.5 too buggy for now, plus this will be useful for those who are still using 2.0/2.1.
I can include the option to add HTC favorites category to the contact in future release, so that one can use this to upgrade from 2.0/2.1 to 2.5
*******I WILL NOT BE WORKING ON THIS PROJECT ANYMORE*******
I am getting my Samsung Captivate tomorrow afternoon, so I will be getting rid of my Pure, which means I will not be updating this project anymore. Luckily for those of you that like this ROM, I am releasing the kitchen. Be advised, this kitchen is over 300 MB, probably because it is in a mess, but you should be able to simply extract it and open osKitchen.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the testing of this ROM. I hope someone will continue this project (under a new name, of course ) and continue to work on making this ROM super small and super fast.
Goodbye, Windows Mobile.
Hello, Android on my super duper AMOLED 4" multi-touch screen! (Well.. tomorrow, but close enough )
Find the kitchen download in post #2.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This ROM is a project I have been working on, and continue to work on each day. I call it Melissa, after my wife. She likes the simple things in life, and that's what this ROM includes.
The ROM comes without the extra software you find in most other ROMs for the Topaz.
There is no Titanium or Manila in this ROM. The only Today screen available is the default one.
Phone Information on first boot (After initial reset):

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing.. The reason I am building this ROM in this fashion is because I'm tired of bloat-ware.. Usually, chefs build ROMs to get rid of bloat-ware that the phone companies add to try to get you to pay for more stuff... (Copilot, trialware, etc..)
The only problem is, most of the custom ROMs out today have just as much bloat-ware in them.. And things like GoogleMaps, Bing, etc.. All get updates eventually, and when we update a ROM that has it already installed in \windows, we end up with double the space used up because it's already cooked into the ROM..
So I'm just trying to clean things up. I'm not bashing any other ROMs out there. Many of them are awesome! I just want people to be able to sort of.. build their own awesome ROM without the ROM already having the bloat-ware in it.. If they want the bloat-ware, let them install it!

To be honest, I am using 23541 because it is running very stable for me. If you can recommend a stable SYS/XIP that is newer and has features you'd like to see, please feel free!

I do not mind using your mirror at all. Maybe I can setup my program to allow the users to choose the closest mirror for downloading the different apps. I'm going to set it up to use my hosting account first, though.. I get over 1MBps when I download files from my website, and I have 'unlimited' storage/bandwidth, but it would be nice to have a mirror that is closer to some other people as well.
I just wanted to give everyone an update on this ROM's status.
Currently, I am working on developing the different packages for the ROM so users will be able to install pretty much anything.. (Manila.. 2.1/2.5, WiFi Router, Gsensor, etc..)
I have a bit of testing to do for each package, and a lot of hard-resetting to do before I'll be ready to post the ROM.. But the base ROM seems very stable, and everything is running fast and smooth so far..
Some things that will work immediately after flashing are:
Phone
Alarm
Internet
GPS (not Assisted)
ActiveSync Direct Push
Bluetooth
WiFi
I'm looking to have the ROM ready for testing by the middle of next week.. (Work has slowed me down a bit.)
Feel free to post any thoughts about what you'd like to see in the base ROM.
looking forward to see this one

Text messaging will work too.
MMS, however, will require the installation of a package.
Thanks for pointing out that I missed that.
As for Media Player.. Something in that package is required to make the MP3 Ringtones work.. Once I get a chance, I will make that package absolutely minimal to make the MP3s work, and remove Windows Media Player itself.. (Media Player 12, I believe that's the current version, can be installed separately for those who will want it.)
Please keep coming up with ideas for minimizing this ROM.. I've currently got the free storage memory up to over 400 MB after flashing.
Also, any registry tweaks that you'd like to see (GDI, Caching, etc..) Please feel free to post them here as well!
I've pretty much got the basic ROM done, and am working on the package setup procedures.. Once I get a good set of packages ready.. (Specifically Manila 2.1/2.5, HTC's Youtube, GSensor, etc..) I'll be releasing the ROM for testing purposes.
After I release this ROM, I may look to others for assistance with further development of the current EXT packages in the HTC build.. Then, we can also look to developing packages for third party configurations of those packages.. (Max Manila... and stuff like that) and other 3rd party applications not found in the EXT packages.. (Throttle Launcher/Lock, TouchXperience when it's released, etc..)
I'm looking at around Wednesday of next week for first test release. That's March 31st.
Sounds good so far. I will try it as soon as its available.
For NEON 400 users only!
Please do not even consider flashing this rom unless your device is a NEON 400. That's the Canadian Telus/Bell version of the HTC Touch Dual. If you don't know how to find out the model number... then I suggest you do some more reading before you consider flashing any roms.
Hey All,
My old phone died so I recently became the proud owner of the HTC Touch Dual NEON 400. Long story short I unlocked it (Thanks to jockyw2001) and found that there are no Chefs out there with this device. There's a couple dedicated dudes out there trying to help all of us NEON 400 users (Talking about you Rataplan, deepankerjha), but since they don't actually have this device it's pretty tough for them to prepare and test a rom for us.
So, I took the plunge. With Rataplan's help (thanks a lot buddy, couldn't have gotten this far without you're help) I've been cooking away and have a solid WM 6.5 ROM here for us. It's based on the Telus stock ROM and WM 6.5 build 21914. I haven't yet cleared all the extra's (so it's a bit fat) but in my testing so far it's 100% functional and bug free (well, as bug free as WM can be )
I can't guarantee how well it'll work on the Bell NEON 400's, but if you have a Telus device, this should do the trick. I'm using it right now on mine.
Please leave feedback if you try this ROM out. I am still a novice chef, but I'll take feedback to heart, and I'll continue cooking and optimizing roms for the NEON 400 as I learn more and get better.
Happy Flashing!
I'll post updates as they come.
UPDATE:
Sorry all, but in my quest to migrate to the Android OS I've ditched my Neon in favour of the Vogue. I'll upload the Lite ROM I was working on for those who want it. The only thing I was having trouble with was the GPS, apart from that the ROM runs very nicely with the extra weight of the cube and other fat removed. Feel free to PM me if you have questions, I'll do my best to help if I can.
Give me a few days to do a fresh build of the Lite ROM and to take one more stab at getting the GPS working.
Okay my final roms are up. Hopefully Rataplan will have the links posted below shortly.
Lite Version: 1.01 - 1.03
-WM 6.5 Build 21914
-TouchFlo Cube removed
-A bunch of other bundled HTC/Telus packages removed
-GPS is still flaky
Version: 2.01
-WM 6.5 Build 21914
-Nothing removed, All stock HTC and Telus packages remain
EDIT I can't post links just yet, so Rataplan's going to help me out with that, check his post below for the download links.
Here are the links:
NEON400_201 Added 19th August
NEON400_Lite_101 Added 9th November
NEON400_Lite_102 Added 9th November
NEON400_Lite_103 Added 9th November
Loaded on my Bell NEON400. Took a while to get to setup and made a few bleeps along the way, now it's at the "Customization" part. Will update as I finish setup and test it out.
EDIT: Finished installation, looks pretty good, will test calling and texting as we go. Any chance we can strip the Telus crap out of it though? Hate seeing "Telus" everywhere when it's not even a Telus phone.
EDIT 2: Trying to set up ActiveSync to sync with my Google Account - it freezes every so often for a short while and won't respond to taps or key presses. Seems to be common in all applications. Also, the keys operate but the backlight never turns on for them (disregard that - they do work, see Edit 4).
EDIT 3: Hitting the X to close a window doesn't kill the app like it did in WM 6.1. Not sure if this normal behaviour or not (first time flasher).
EDIT 4: After a reboot the key backlight is working again. When I try changing the keyboard however to a full QWERTY layout the setting never saves and always reverts to the "touch keypad" or whatever it is (same problem in WM 6.1 so it's a setting issue not a ROM issue - disregard please).
If you could get rid of the Telus branding everywhere and see what's up with the freezing this ROM would be perfect!
Nice job.
got_milk, Thanks for testing on your Bell device. Like I said in the post I wasn't sure what to expect on a Bell phone. I'm working on a lite version right now with the Telus stuff stripped out. I'm also trying to remove the added weight from HTC like the touchflo cube (I really hate that thing...)
I've noticed the problem with the X button not closing apps. It seems in WM 6.5 it just sort of minimizes them. Although if I recall there's a setting somewhere that lets you set it so you can close an app by holding the X instead of just tapping it. I'll look into that some more.
In regards to the responsiveness one thing I've noticed is that when memory is low I sometimes have to tap and hold the buttons for a moment before they register. I initially thought it just wasn't reading the hits but found by accident that I could make it work by holding it for an extra moment. Hopefully this won't be a problem once I get my Lite version working.
I highly recommend downloading and installing Finger Keyboard. It's my favourite by far. I can't post links yet, but the thread where I found it is titled:
\\\\\\\\\ F i n g e r K e y b o a r d 2 ///////// v2.1 - NOW ONLINE - all resolutions
One other thought: If you could hook me up with the ROM you're using as the stock Bell ROM I could recreate this 6.5 ROM using it as the base. This might solve some of your problems too.
Thanks again for testing!
Not a problem, thank you more for doing this! I really hate how we're limited to WinMo 6.1, when we clearly have a 6.5 capable device.
I'm using the stock Bell ROM from jockyw2001's HardSPL post (stickied at the top of this forum).
Looking forward to the lite edition, I will certainly test it when you release it.
So, I couldn't stay away (Software Engineering student...lol). I set up my own kitchen and started to cook using a stock Bell ROM. I've managed to strip all the Bell crap + the HTC cube and make a nice clean ROM.
However!
I've encountered one bug so far. On the home screen, where "Text" should be, it's simply blank and clicking it gets me to the main Outlook menu (where I choose Text Messages or Outlook E-mail). I can also not create text messages or reply to them. I know we've hit this roadblock before but no one's said how they got around it.
I also don't have data working at all - it's not being configured automatically (I think the Bell customization wizard does this, but it's disabled).
EDIT: Okay, it's as I suspected. There's a connection.xml file that's part of the Bell scripts that is added to handle data access. Anyone know how I can add data as part of the ROM package?
For sms take a look at this post from 88fingerslukee,

Yes, it's essential anyway so I get prompted if it's not included. It's not part of WM build 21914 however...
So I've tried with a bunch of different WM builds, new kitchen setups, and everything I can think of under the sun.
Data works out of the box - it's just not enabled by default. If you go into the comm manager and enable data it seems to work.
SMS is still broken. When it's not highlighted right above the text 'Text' it displays 'No notif...'. Highlighting 'Text' gives you absolutely no text at all and your option for that is 'View', which takes you to your call list.
I've cooked all day and yet I cannot get this to work at all. I'm rolling back to WM 6.1 until I can find a solution.

got_milk, way to go bud! Glad to have another new chef in the kitchen. I wont bother cooking a Bell ROM as you're already on track. My Lite ROM is gonna be a while anyway. Between wife, kids, job, and house... I just don't have a whole lot of time to tinker.
In regards to your SMS problem, I might be able to help. I too had problems getting SMS to work when I started working on my Lite ROM. After some trial and error what I found fixed it was to include two files from the OEMAPPS pkg.
Strip out all the crap from OEMAPPS you don't want and make sure that these two files remain, then include the package in your next build:
234f3319-55a2-46a3-be32-24530a643a0f.dsm
234f3319-55a2-46a3-be32-24530a643a0f.rgu
I'll be honest, I didn't do any research on the significance of these files, I just happened upon it by chance.
Good Luck!
Aha! I shall do another cook tonight and see if that does the trick.
EDIT: You sir, are a brilliant genius. I didn't have the .rgu version but the .dsm was there. Deleted everything out of OEMAPPS but that, cooked and flashed, and texting works now.
Thanks a ton!
Excellent! Glad I could help
So, my two bugs I've noticed so far...
No data. EV-DO is available, looks like it has to be set up manually. Anyone know how we can incorporate this into the cooking? I've tried ADC but it doesn't work, says it's not a valid Pocket PC application every time the phone boots up.
Also, the buttons along the top (sound, data, etc) work normally in the home screen, but enter any app and while the icons remain the same their functions have now been shifted one to the left. (Volume becomes Close, Data becomes Volume, etc).
When I first started a Lite ROM I stripped my Operator EXT packages. That killed my data. I put'em back to work on the OEM pkg's. I haven't had time to dissect the EXT packages yet to find the pieces we need for data. Whichever one of us figures that out first will have to share it with the other
For now I'm still picking through the OEM packages finding all the pieces I want/need to keep.
Not sure about your taskbar buttons, might be related to that handy tasks dropdown item that's usually on the far right (like a quickview task manager you can use to close running apps) I don't know if that's a WM feature, or something HTC bundled in.
That's an HTC bundled application (TaskManager.exe in OEMApps). I removed it and the bug's still there. You don't have this problem?
Data is handled via Connection.xml which is injected - somehow - during the "Customization" process. You CAN do it yourself manually - simply add a new connection and have it dial #777.
There's not much in the EXT packages - and what's there is impossible to tell for now, I'll dissect more and see what's there.
Strange, when I hit any of the buttons along that top taskbar it just opens up a bubble with icons for each of the options available, and then select an item from the bubble. Individually the icons along the top don't actually do anything for me, they all just open this bubble.
Right, which is the normal behaviour - it's when you actually select an icon from that bubble that everything appears to have shifted one position to the left.
Try it at the home screen and then in an application.
Also, looks like data is handled via "Connection.xml" which is placed inside the Windows folder (I'm back to stock 6.1 to check file locations). If I try to put that inside OEMApps or whatever and have that copy over though it doesn't end up in the Windows folder as far as I can tell.
I'm also trying to strip out the more unnecessary stuff, however, the camera always breaks and says the app is missing files to run. I can get rid of the cube, and everything else, but I'd like to leave the camera function behind (strips 30MB off the ROM if I clean everything else out). But the camera doesn't work.
