Can somebody tell me how can I save me personal work internet settings in a cab or in the extended rom?
Thank you
sorry for my bad english...
I think it is stored in the Storage, not Extended ROM. It is under Settings, Permanent Save. You can select to backup the connection settings too. When you hard reset, you can go and select the Permanet Save and select the Connection settings to restore.
I can confirm that: using Permanent save your will get appointments, contacts, tasks and connection settings back after (soft OR hard) reset.

Hi,
Is there any way to purge the flash memory that backs up contacts?
I ask as, I discovered this feature, *AFTER* flashing the ROM, to find it had previous owners contacts, so it survives a ROM flash.
Thanks,
Ben
Yea just goto Start, Settings, System, Permanent Save and disable that
option.

Hi All,
I have a noob question and I hope gurus out there can help.
How do you all deal with backup/restore of different settings?
I spent a lot of time reading about UC today, and I managed to make it work for installing CABs and folders.
1) TF3D Settings (contacts/mail tab/programs tab)
2) Standard WM6 settings (such as notifications, buttons, menus) <proxml?>
3) Active Sync Partnership Settings (<-- Think you can use SKTOOLS, but haven't tried)
I am aware of PIM Backup, but when I restore from it TF3D cannot detect the restored mail folders.
Thanks in advance.

Hi I'm no guru and I'm keen to see what others have to say in regards to your questions.
I struggle to be able to get most things to back up correctly.
I use PIM back up before I flash a new rom.
I am able to get it to restore my contacts and my messages fine but that's about it. One problem I always find is if I use PIM to restore contacts before using active sync and outlook I get duplicate contacts and birthdays every time. So make sure you sync with your PC before running PIM backup/restore.
I've never been able to get anything like settings, preferences or button settings to restore.
I've also tried sprite backup but never been able to work out what it actually does. It uses about 80mb storage and takes forever yet seems to do nothing.
One thing I have read is that most people recommend not backing up or restoring personal (messages/contacts is ok) settings when using different roms.
I maybe wrong.
I've just created a folder on my SD card with all my favourite programs in it. Nowdays it doesn't take long to get back up and running after flashing to a new rom
Lets wait for some of the higher powers to reply

I just got the Fuze and I was wondering the same thing. I already downloaded and installed the .cab file to change my clock and theme. And I was wondering whether or not I should back up my programs, files, contacts, etc.??
Restore 101 after flashing
As a ROM flashing junkie I tried several ways how to setup my phone and restore all settings and data within 30 min. or less.
First of all you should know your phone and you should know what you NEED and what's NICE TO HAVE.
Check which apps have to run on the phone (mainly dialers, skins, task managers, g-sensor and backlight apps).
Install your apps which need not to run on the phone on the SD card.
Figure out which apps HAVE to be installed and which one are quiet happy with a "send link to programs". You may wonder how many can be run that way (WeFi, Total Commander, DiamondTV, WVD, SPBOnline, MSLiveSearch, PHM Regedit, HiCalc even SKTools and WK-Task to name a few).
Either understand what UC does and prepare your sdconfig.txt up front or use SASHIMI (very easy to set up! You just copy the cabs to the auto or auto\sc directory). You may import your owner and reg key entries as well but be careful, pending how the ROM is cooked reg entry import can be fatal!
PIM backup using SPB Backup as software and just save on the SD card.
I use SPBBackup because I never ran into any compatibility issues from my Tilt times swapping between winmo 5 and winmo6 and winmo 6 to winmo6.1.
Furthermore SPBBackup creates a self running exe, no need to install any software to restore.
Flash ROM or hard reset
Restore PIM
Install Sashimi
Open Sashimi and install apps (either on device or SD - see above)
Soft reset
Open FileExplorer or TotalCommander go to "SD\Program Files" and send shortcuts to Programs
Assign Programs in Programs Tab under TF3D
Add your custom weather cities.
Set up a simple numeric password and a timeout to 12 h!
This may be very important because winmo has a bug. In case you do not apply a hack, active sync will automatically assign the email password as boot password (enforced security policy). In case you happen to have an alphanumeric password and didn't set a "complex" password under the lock feature you wont be able to unlock your phone after a soft reset because you wont have the capability to enter alphanum. values!!!!
Soft reset
Open active sync and set it up to sync with a server (in case you use a corp. email account).
Soft reset
Done
Some UC allows you to install selectively on SD or device but rather than editing a txt file I copy the apps I need in a directory and let software install it.
Note on full restore:
SPB Backup and other programs as well do have a "restore after ROM upgrade" function where you may restore ALL programs and settings to the phone. Even though there is a feature "do not overwrite existing settings" and "do not restore password" in a lot of cases this restore simply fails. I assume that this is based on the different cores of winmo the chefs use and I ran into too many problems as in "wrong password" or hangs on certain applications that I do a PIM backup/restore ONLY.
Is there any thing that can save all the settings on my phone (mms, apn, gmail/facebook/twitter account logins etc) so i dont have to type these in constantly over and over everytime i update a rom? Like basically backup the user preferences so that i can just load them back onto the new rom?
That would be awesome! I second that...
yeeh there is,try (my backup)
Hey guys,
I (without thinking) activated Google backup/restore a while back while wiping my phone and reinstalling a ROM or two. Now it likes to restore 60+ apps that I don't even want anymore every time I wipe my phone. Is there a way to wipe the stored google backup so this doesn't happen anymore?
Same question. I allowed google to backup my apps once, and now every time I install new ROM, I must skip Initial settings and don't set up WiFi, go to Settings -> Privacy and turn on "Back up my settings", then turn off "Automatic restore" and then back turn off "Back up my settings".
I'm on stock rom unroot
I used to use Xperia Mini and I was able to back up my whole contact to SD
when restore the file, everything was back, especially the "join contact" option which joining same contact with different names into one on the phone, I can't backup this to google. (did this before repair the 'screen' which resulted in factory reset)
Is there anyway to do this in the S3? I looked around the setting in Contact, found nothing.
Thanks for your time.

It may be just me, but i'm having trouble understanding what you mean!
Are you just looking for a way to backup these contacts that you have imported from the SD to PHONE into your google account?
If so, make sure your google account settings are set to 'sync'.
Settings > Accounts and Sync > Make sure 'Google (email address) is set to sync (green arrows instead of grey).
Then go to contacts > menu > 'Merge with Google'
If this isnt what your asking, please explain further...
i think he wanted to export his contacts as a CSV or XML file into the SD card.

Thank you, me and my bad eyesight. It is literally on my face but I just skipped it completely
