Tired of set up your phone everytime you flash a ROM? read here

well, I flash my phone many times, and every flash I lost all my settings. there too many settings that I have to remember, and it consumes too much time to set them back. Here are a few tricks to make flashing no longer a nightmare.

Create a cab file with all register settings and run the cab file whenever you want set all your settings. Below I included an example of settings for the followings:

- yahoo email account
- tethering settings (sprint)
- Resco file explorer settings


here are the steps:
1) copy the below xml text to notepad
2) add more settings if you need and changes the setting values to your own values. if you don't know your registry setting, look them in your phone reg
3) save the file as "_Setup.xml" under C:\ (can be any where)
4) save the makecab.exe file, attached below, to c:\
4) open a DOS command (type cmd from run or search command)
5) type c:\makecab _Setup.xml mysettings.cab
6) run mysettings.cab everytime you need to set your settings

sorry, I don't use exchange. usually, I use search function in Resco Register editor.

for example, if I want to know the reg setting where Note save notes, I search for "note" and found it under software/microsoft/note/FileDest

It would be easier to use an actual cab making program... that way you could also easily view, edit and even add files to it, to each their own.

Re: Tired of set up your phone everytime you flash a ROM? read here

How about the settings for favorite people???? Any way to add that in?

I have sucessfully restored my opera bookmarks by having a custom file save under PIM Backup use the Opera6.adr file. Perfectly successful

Tried to use PIM Backup for favorite people - tried to save file pim.vol - Not so successful -

Same thing for using PIM Backup for email addresses - again not so successful.

Both of the unsuccessful attempts above for settings - PIMBackup said that it couldn't write the old files.

Also with PIMBackup, after you flash a new ROM you have to re-enter the custom settings for files and email options (as if they work anyways)

This works great, a couple of changes though.
Restore your Opera Favorite links:
