Well... n00b here.
I usually wait around and check back on threads and eventually my questions get answered. That way, I don't show my n00biness to the world. Can't wait this time. There was a update to Mighty Mike 6 (7/16) that really fixed a lot of things. I spent the next 8 hours tweaking and cabbing. Then I go back to the MM6 rhread and there's MM6 (7/18) update!!!! I want to reflash but I don't want to manually re-enter. So... the question:
When backing up registries (I use PHM), do you hi-lite the registry name and that backs-up the contents or do you hi-lite the contents?

Sorry,,, but Thanks!!

By the way, I'm having a blast with my WM phone (HTC Touch Pro). All this customizing, flashing, tweaking is habit forming. My wife has threatened to flush my phone!

I use total commander and/or regedit, using total commander you just hold on the reg key and say copy to the folder you want to back it up. If you use regedit you say export to a folder. hope that helps.

I just tried this for the first time last night and I had very mixed results. I used the auto folder for my cabs, reg backup entries and root folder entries. After a hard reset of the latest nrg rom I ran in auto mode and everything seemed to install (aebuttonplus, bing and voicecommand) all required me to OK a few messages, but everything else installed easily.

The first time sashimi finished, when asked to reset I clicked on yes, phone reset but did a hard reset......

So, I repeated the above steps and selected no and got a normal reset. My apps were all there from the cabs I selected, but my start menu did not copy over correctly and some of my reg keys did not export correctly (resco explorer, etc.).

It's probably something I am doing wrong, but this did make things much easier. My exchange settings all copied over perfectly as did my titanium plugins. Just not having to reinstall dozens of cabs after a reset makes this a great tool.

Thanks again for the post!

I never have had Sashimi do a hard reset after finishing auto mod. it should only do a soft reset. I did notice with voice command cab you should install that manually and not place it in the auto cab folder. Pull it out and see if it helps.

I did the shortcut customizing for the cabs. Creating the customlink.ini file. which when you run auto, buts the shortcuts where you specifie them. but when I did this and the phone reset. it white out my start menu leaving only the today button.

when you backup the pim file for your contacts does it also back up the assigned ringtone file for each contact

I believe pim.vol should have the ringtone settings for each contact, don't quote me on it though. I did notice that all of my contacts profile pictures were still intact when I backed up pim.vol file, so I don't see why it isn't the same way with ringtones.

Excellent compilation! Some very good tips here. Thank you.

If I can add one thing I learned early on with Sashimi. I use SKTools and found out that you should replace the sktools.exe in the SASHIMI\Program\Bin folder (back it up first) with the copy from your actual SKTools installation. Reasoning and full explanation can be found here.
