Backup And Restore Favorites After Flash For Touch 3d...

[vboyz103]

So there was a recent question that was posted here on how do you restore the favorite people in TouchFlo 3D. In one of the discussion and fellow poster said that he used the Autorun approach to copy the pim.vol located in root of the phone (the \ folder) and it worked very well so credit goes to him. I found something extra that the pim.vol is used by TouchFlo 3d to store your favorite information under the People tab.

OK, this is what you can do.

Sync up all your contact to your phone first. Then go to the People tab, add whoever you want to appear as your favorite using the T3D interface (+ sign). Once done, copy the pim.vol located in the root directory "\" to your Internal Storage memory.

Now you can restore that file after you flash by couple of ways, by using UCAutorun and put the following lines into the SDConfig.txt:

CPY1:\Internal Storage\pim.vol
CPY2:\pim.vol

What this will do is after you flash and if you have UCAutorun enabled, it will copy the pim.vol to \pim.vol.

Alternatively, you can take this pim.vol to an OEM folder somewhere and use initflashfiles.txt to copy it and your initflashfiles.txt should be like this:

Directory("\"):-File("pim.vol","\windows\pim.vol")

So either way, after you flash, go to the People tab and you should see all your favorites as well as your entire contact list.

Moreover, the pimp.vol also contains your previous call logs as well.

Some side notes: In the Touch 2D interface I had for my Touch, it uses registry to store this information, but apparently it changed for Touch 3D.

Hope this helps.
