the 'backup' portion of shashimi is different, and is useful for data & regs that change frequently. otherwise if they should always be the way you set them, just use the export to auto folder method.

Ok cool. I thought i was skipping a step. Thanks.

Total NooB here...Just started playing with sashimi after dozens of flashes. wont the "backup" option in sashimi take care of the registry I made? to be more clear, if i were to back up the registry using this option prior to flashing, will it capture all the other registry settings for alarms, my favorites, etc? Or do I need to export all those reg keys 1 by 1?

Take a look at the regexport.ini portion of the manual. Attached is what I use. You can tailor that file, and then back up he settings prior to the flash with a custom export, and then you can have it restore after the flash. The touch part is learning what all the registry settings are that you want to backup.

I use G-Alarm. Is there a way to backup those settings?

HKCU/Software/Ageye/G-Alarm

Your main G-alarm settings will be found here, and the alarms themselves will be in the numbered subkeys found here. You can export it manually to your REG folder, or if you change your alarms often you can add it to your REGEXPORT.INI to have it export automatically when you back up.

UH-OH! I did something wrong. I wanted to do a simple test following the video by installing a pocketfinance diary cab into sashimi>auto>cab and it database files in sashimi>auto>root>program files> pocket finance diary. Also added 1 of my email accounts using makisu feature. It ran, i saw it install cabs n stuff then it aske me to reset. I clicked yes and now i am stuck of the Touch Pro initial screen with radio info. Gonna have to hard reset and start over. any thoughts?

[studentjunk]

Was this installation after a hard reset, or was on top of regular stuff? I have only had issues like that when I upgrade ROMs and have settings from a prior ROM that is incompatible. For instance, installing the settings for a soft keyboard that was hardwired into the old ROM, when the new ROM doesn't have that keyboard. It doesn't sound like that should have happened with you. I'm not sure what's going on. Try takign the battery out for 10 seconds or so before hard reseting, although this is a long shot.

I guess it was on top...i was watching the youtube video to get the hang of it and probably screwed up the xml section. Of course, to top that, my latest back up was 2 weeks old!! Before i do anything else, I need to figure this sashimi out.

One more question...I have an app called freecaddie that has a subfolder for golf course layouts. I've created sashimi>auto>root>program files>freecaddie>courses (copied all the courses on the device to this folder) which should reload the current courses i have. Will it also load any courses that i add to the subfolder on the device?
This questions applies to anything else I've created in the root folder.

@studentjunk: BTW, I PM'd you another question about a post on XDA

[studentjunk]

Yes, all the files in that directory will go into program files\freecaddie\courses when you run the sashimi auto.
