I don't know about editing pim but much easier will be syning it with google account and opening / editing the contact via google account. You can post your question in Q&A Section

If you sync to your google account you can just edit them online here:
https://www.google.com/contacts/#contacts
If you want to do it offline in software on your PC than MyPhoneExplorer can do it via USB or Wifi.

SMS backup-getting SMS Export tool (yorch.net) working?

HI together, :?
I`m new in this forum and found it because I have a issue I don`t get rid of. I have 2500 sms messages on my xda and want to sell it to get a new one. My problem is I don`t want to delete my whole sms messages as there are so many important one I can`t delete as I need them documented.
I installed now the SMS Export tool from yorch.net as I red in this forum here that I should be able to get this done with this tool.
Problem is that I´m not able to get it done successfully.
1. I downloaded the tool and installed it from my PC over Active Sync on my xda.
2. I can see the SMSExport.vce file in my root folder on my xda
3. I can see the VICERT.vce and Visual CE.unload file under /windows
Problem is now that I need asistance how I can use the tool now ?
1. If I start the VICERT.vce file I get the msg "Run VisualCE.exe to create a form"
2. If I run Visual CE.unload file as I don`t see a exe I get the msg that there is no application assigned to the file?
3. If I riun the SMSExport.vce file I get a programm called SMS Export Utility in front of me where I don`t know how to handle to get the sms messages on my local PC.
My aim is to read the sms messages on my local pc (word or txt file) and burn it as backup on a cd.
I would really appreciate any help as I spent hours already on this topic and I`m not smart enough to get it done.
Thanks in advance...
I faced the same problem, I've searched all over this forum, but until late, I used this software : Smart Phone Studio (http://smartdev.51.net/)
It lets you save all your SMS from phone to PC, and you can also save them on text files with nice formatting :wink:
You can also backup SMS from your device, and restore them from the PC at anytime you want!!! :lol:
ah I forgot to tell that it also works for XDAs, regardless of its name

Do you have the program on your local machine to send it to me via email ? I`m not able to download the program as there is no version available at the moment ...
I'd appreciate a copy as well if possible.
Oops! its not available on the site & its not free anymore!!!!!
But don't worry, I will send u a copy of it when I come back home..
Ok, here is the file..
Simple steps to run it:
1. Change your PC date to March 2004.
2. Copy SPStudio.exe to your PC & run it.
3. Copy CommMan.exe to your pocket PC & run it.
4. Just click on the buttons at the left panel to access your SMS messages & use FILE menu to export/import messages.
Cheers :lol:

I've recently found a software which synchronizes you SMS with MS Outlook! SMS Sync for Outlook:
http://www.v2r-advanced.com/SMSSync.html
I wonder why Microsoft does not support synchronize SMS with ActiveSync, much like emails :?
I've found a new software which transforms your SMS messages into emails, which then can be easily synchronized with the PC

download source for spstudio (expiring by april 2004)
after some browsing the web i have found an alternative download source for the famous spstudio:
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/cooldownloads/SPStudio.zip
you probably have to register at coolsmartphone.com (its for free) before you are allowed to download files.
also consider the hints given above (setting back the date of your pc to march 2004 etc.) for getting the tool working.

help...
i am also desperately trying to backup valuable sms. unfortunately i need to back them up since i need to reset my device cause active sync is no longer working ..BIG PROBLEM...i cannot use any of the above tools without active sync.
any ideas how i can get the sms off my MDA without active sync???
thanks
woody
Since your active sync is not working, you can try to backup your files to SD card (use Sprite Backup or anything else to do so) and then you can hard reset your device safely..
Make sure it is the latest version of sprite backup, that software caused nightmares for me, after restoring I could not recieve or send sms so please be sure you get the latest fixed version.

SMS Sync Outlook
Hello, Regarding the SMS Sync Outlook...one of the requirements was having Outlook 2003. I still use Outlook 2002, does it matter? Don't really want to upgrade to 2003 yet as there might still be some bugs. Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks,

Hi Bree (Kabayan?)
I am using Outlook 2003 for several months and as of this moment no problems or bugs yet.

attachments not syncing with activesync

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to this all but have updated my O2 with Sin's merged files. Well done, Sin! Excellent stuff. But I have one prblem that maybe someone can tell me how to fix:
When syncing the updated O2 with Microsoft Outlook 2003 on my PC (using the USB cradle), all mail attachments do not sync onto the O2 and a conflict message appears on Activesync against Inbox. If I move the e-mails from my (PC) Outlook Inbox folder to nother folder within Outlook, the conflicts message disappears. If I move the e-mails back into the Outlook Inbox folder, the conflct message returns.
Can anyone help me please?
open activesync
press tools
press options
click inbox
press settings
look if it's set to include file attachments
Hi Rudegar,
Yes, I had checked that and the "include file attachments" is checked.

My problems is after selecting a file to attach, it prompted the error message I mentioned earlier that no files could be attached at all. The files cannot be viewed under your device's File Explorer. But if you explore your device from the PC, you'll see an additional folder called Databases where you cannot add/edit/delete. I had to download a tool called Pocket dbExplorer.

Hi Guys
Please can you let me know how you fixed this problem I am having the same issue with the same ROM I belive.

Many thanks!

Exporting Contacts from Windows Mobile to Android (Without Outlook or Google Sync)

This tip can be found in various parts of this forum, but I'm putting it here so that it can be more easily located.
The easiest way to move your contacts from Windows Mobile to Android (or just to Google in general):
While Booted into Windows Mobile:
Download "Dotfred's PimBackup" (see below), it's a ZIP file, extract the one file in the ZIP to your storage card. If you can't unzip from your phone, do this step on a PC.
http://www.dotfred.net/PIM/PPCPimBackupV2.8_wm2005.zip
Launch the application. Select the action "Backup" (should be default). Uncheck everything but "Contacts" then hit "Next > >"
Uncheck everything but "Create temp files in memory", hit "Next > >" (very important, don't screw this part up!)
Once the backup has completed, hit "Exit" on the bottom-left
Now connect the phone to your PC (or remove the SD card and put it in an adapter) in order to access the file PimBackup created:
Look for a new file called "PIMBackup_xxxxxxxx.pib" (the 'x's will be numbers representing the date of the backup)
Rename that file, changing the extension from ".pib" to ".zip", and open the ZIP file
Extract the file "contacts_xxxxxxxx.csc" to somewhere on your computer, and change the extension from ".csc" to ".csv"
From here you can import the contacts into Google, but I *highly* suggest taking the time to perform a few extra steps to clean up the data a little bit.
Importing into Google
http://www.tothepc.com/archives/import-contacts-to-gmail-from-csv-vcard-file/
More Cleaning of the Data
You should open your CSV file in either Microsoft Excel, or OpenOffice.org Calc. The CSV is semicolon delimited, meaning you can't just straight up open these files and work with them, instead you have to perform a couple extra steps in either one:
Microsoft Excel
http://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/importing-delimited-files-in-excel/
OpenOffice.org Calc
On open of the CSV, check the "semicolon" box, uncheck all the rest.

If ur using a rhod with a Sim, just go under menu in the contact tab in winmo and save to sim. Then import from xdandroid. I've seen a lot of tuts saying remove you sim before booting xdandroid, but I never have and it get connectivity. Maybe its becuz I'm on tmobile. I dunno. But I hope this help
Sent from my MSM using XDA App
T-Mobile TP2 Froyo 2.21
trying this right now, I havent, done the "Clean up " steps, but it seems that only the contacts that have Photo Contacts or specialized ringtones from WinMo are the ones that have a lot of this:
0x3c,0x00,0x48,0x00,0x54,0x00,0x43,0x00,0x44,0x00,0x61,0x00,0x74,0x00
showing up in the notes. but other than that, I could live without doing the clean up... I tried doing the cleanup with Excel, but it wasnt working.
Thanks a lot though, this helped a great amount

I don't know, Honestly I followed http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138636. Activesync did it's thing and when I reset into Android I had all my contacts.
having the contacts is one thing but does it import them with pics ?
export as vcards
'vcard expert' is a windows mobile app that can backup your contacts and their pics as vcards. This format is recognised by different vendors so can easily transfer your contacts to other platforms such as android.
is it possible to import contact to Android without sync to google server (gmail)?
I don't really want google to save my family and friends contact information
There is also Funambol
Not tried it myself but it claims to sync PIM data across multiple platforms inc WM and Android. I believe it's free for something like 90 days

[GUIDE] How to restore / import Line chat history!

Skip to How to Import Chat History below to skip the background reading.
Yes, there is a graphical import method for Line!
If you use Line, and you want to change between devices, it seems as though it is nearly impossible to backup (export) and restore (import) your Line chat history. I have searched XDA, Google, AndroidForums, Line's (useless) online help, etc. No help, no info. There are some guides about how to use a SQL editor to fool the app, etc., but that was just way too much effort for me, so I finally gave up and just switched. BUT, before I did, I went ahead and exported all my chats, even knowing there was no way to import them, just in case. Well, that just paid off.
There is absolutely no method available within Line to restore your chat history, right?! WHY is there a backup option? There MUST be a way! Seemingly no.
I just figured it out. And when I explain it, you too will wonder, why in the !#$%@^[email protected]%!#@$!#[email protected]^*%^&(*%^@# has Naver not published this?????
I was on my way to back everything up in preparation for a new ROM and figured I'd do a complete and total system wipe, meaning, I went to take a look at my internal storage (SDcard, Emulated, 0, whatever you refer to it as), to ensure that I got all the little things I want, like Viber pictures, WhatsApp pics, etc. And there I saw it. The folder. And, like you are now thinking, I thought, just maybe...
How to Import Chat History (Abbreviated, Quick and Easy)
Copy your chatHistory.zip file to internal storage sdcard/LINE_Backup
Start Line, open an existing chat or start a new chat with the person whose chat history you want to restore
Tap the drop-down arrow in the upper right, Chat Settings, and look what just showed up below the (formerly) useless Backup Chat History option
How to Backup and Restore Chat History (Additional Details)
Line offers a "Backup Chat History" option, but keep in mind, this is conversation / per-person specific. That means, you need to do it for each individual person.
For my own ease of use, and to make transferring things easy, now that I know what the process is, here's what I did.
Backing Up
Go into the conversation you want to backup.
Tap the drop-down arrow in the upper right, and select Chat Settings.
Select Backup Chat History, Backup All
Say Yes to e-mail this chat - in a previous version, I had to enter the conversation person's name in the subject, the new Line now does this for me.
Repeat this process for every conversation you want to migrate to a new device.
Restoring
On your new device, save the attachments from each e-mail into the /InternalSDCard/LINE_Backup/ directory.
Start Line, go to Chats, Tap the Chat Bubble in the upper right to start a new conversation, select the person you want to restore
Your chat window will be empty, but from here, you just follow the instructions above, basically, drop-down arrow, Chat Settings, Import Chat History
And that's it.
I REALLY hope this helps some people out. I wasted a LOT of time trying to figure this out, and as usual, once you know the solution, it's pretty simple and seems so obvious.
If I helped, throw me some Thanks button so I know I wasn't the only one!
I have a google Nexus 5, which doesn't have any internal storage.
Are you able to specify where this should be copied too as I cannot seem to find the right holder.
Also, what am i copying in there? The actual zip file or an extract of the zip file?one

On your internal storage of your Nexus 5, create a folder called: LINE_Backup the exact upper/lower case and _ matter. Put the LINE backup zips in that folder, do not extract them. LINE knows which zip goes with which user, you just have to start the chat and import per the instructions above.

Unfortunately, The "Backup All" setting only applies to one-on-one conversations. Group chats only give you the Backup as Text option.

That sucks. I haven't tried a group chat in LINE before. Did you try a backup/import to see if it would work? I'm sort of assuming no, that it doesn't work, based on your post. :/
Thanks!
A huge THANKS for this, saved me alot of trouble.
Still, anyone figured out how to import group chats? Maybe from the text file?

A big you're welcome.
I don't have enough LINE friends to actually have a group chat and try to figure it out.
I just found a method for importing the chat history using Titanium Backup and the terminal. You need root for this. Recently Line made some changes that made this more
Hope you find this useful.
1. Restore Line with Titanium Backup (app+data) (DON'T OPEN THE LINE APP YET!)
2. Log into a root shell and delete the previous settings:
sqlite3 /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/databases/naver_line
delete from setting;
.quit
3. Now we have to delete this xml only if you are using a recent version. In previous ones it didn't even exist as far as I know
rm /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
4. Open the Line app and it will ask you to enter your user and password.
You will receive a warning about losing your chat history. Just ignore it and...
5. Enjoy!
I had copy the zip files to the Line_backup folder which was already in the phone internal memory. However, there is no Import Chat History Button.
The Line version was the latest one and had Force Stop and restarted Line. Still to no avail.
Is there any way to view the chat log?
What format is it saved in and how would you go about viewing the chat log if you were sent one from a chat that wasn't yours?
Didn't Work on LG Android Optimus
I must be doing something wrong, but it seems I've followed all the steps. The LINE_backup files are in my SD card, but when I click Import Chat History>yes>ok, nothing happens... :/
I made an account just to post on here and hopefully find out.

*It actually still gives warning after I logged in - that my chat history will be deleted or such -, but actually it didn't delete a thing. So, to anyone who wanna try this, don't worry with the warning message!*

Got it! I was missing the su command to make the emulator rooted.
I also found the jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml file in a slightly different location than where daimyorl said above (but the credits go to him). For me it was into /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/shared_prefs/
Then, the complete instructions that worked for me are:

Log into a shell and delete the settings:
Code:

Remove jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
Code:
rm /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/shared_prefs/jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
Open the Line app and it will ask you to enter your user and password. It will also ask your phone number for the confirmation SMS.

Is there a way to export your history on Opera mobile for android? (Please help I need it)

TLDR: Is there a workaround to view and export my Opera history on android?
What happened: I am on a Samsung Note 10 running Android 11. I accidentally closed a tab and deleted it from the reopen tab section. I want to retrieve the history of that tab. I know Opera has it saved somewhere because when I look at my history I can see some of the searches from that tab. However Opera on Android does not have a way to search or export your history.
What I tried: First, I tried finding my history file. On Opera for desktop you can find your history file and copy it somewhere else to export it. According to this post Opera for android also has a way to export data such as bookmarks using a file manager so I think there should be a way to export your history. However when I view my Opera data folder with ES file manager the folder is empty with no history file. I think you need root access to view those files but rooting your phone requires you to flash the bootloader which wipes all your data. Is there a way to access these files without rooting or can I root my phone without data loss?
Next, I tried to view my history using Opera's sync function. However according to this post Opera's history sync does not save all the pages you visited.
At this point I don't know what else to do and I can't figure out how to get my full history even though I can see it in Opera's history section. If anyone knows something that could work even if it is unlikely please tell me. Any help would be appreciated.
Also if you know any other forums I can post this question to please let me know.
