Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

Can anyone tell me how to back up a single registry entry using regexport.ini rather than a whole registry key directory?

I want to backup my manila home page softkeys, but it seems I can only back up the entire HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila directory, but I only want 4 keys from the directory.

HomeRSKPath
HomeRSKText
HomeLSKPath
HomeLSKText

Any ideas?

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

I can help with SKTools!

Of course you must enter Owner info found here

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Owner\

Then for SKTools

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\sk\tools

Hope this HELPS!!!http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

Sashimi wont run anymore. Went to go prep my backups and the program wont load. Got stuck on the Sashimi status screen, runs through all the steps, says SASHIMI INSTALLATION COMPLETE but just sits there, wont actually run the program. I uninstalled, reinstalled, even DL another copy-nothing! Went to winmo-experts and couldnt find anything there.
Any apps since the last time I ran it have been removed. Any reg edits I made have been reset (they were battery ones). The phone wont turn off, the backlight times out but the screen never turns off until I kill the program.
I'm lost, any ideas?

Edit: The same thing happens when I run the .cab, the .exe and/or the .mscr from the storage card

Edit: HARD RESET

Is there any reason why my registry exports are being imported?

please clarify/paraphrase your question. I tend to export registry settings to import during the next flash. are you trying to do something different?

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

No I put my export registry setting in the auto-reg folder. But after running auto my registry has not been updated. I am using taskmngr to import registry settings under advanced options.

It could just be me, but no one else is responding right now. I am still not sure that I understand.

I think you are doing things correctly, so let me know if it's accurate.

You are using dotfred's registry editor to find the registry settings that you want to save and use in the next flash. You are saving those *.reg files in the \storage card\shashimi\auto\reg folder. You are then running the sashimi auto run, and then checking to see if the registry settings that you exported worked. Is that correct?

is that dotfred? you can tell it to associate with .reg so you can just click them in file explorer to import.. but that's not your problem is it... :)

is this on a stock rom? if so check out my 'killer' app ;0 :) lol

Yes that is correct. No it is not a stock rom.
I don't understand why sashimi isn't importing my registry settings.

here you go. Should be a registry setting to turn off sliding sound.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

.reg files are supposed to have

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SlidingSound]

the top line isn't so important but there has to be an empty line above the first reg.

btw, CeRegistryEditor is a good way to test the files (the file you uploaded didn't work in it.)
I added a line at the top, and then it worked.

10-01-2009 08:55 AM

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

Well I assumed they were ok since I just exported them with phm registry editor. What do you use to export settings? How did you add the line to get the file to work?

shaggylive

10-01-2009 09:08 AM

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

well, I do like phm notepad, but I just used my pc's notepad.
for registry stuff on the phone I always use dotfred's taskmgr. it has never let me down yet. and as I said earlier it has an option to associate itself with .reg's so you can just open them on the phone using any file explorer and it will ask if you want to import.

drewcam888

10-01-2009 09:11 AM

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

So you use notepad to open the .reg. I did but it is just invalid characters. How do I add a line? Just add a space?

nevermind wordpad was the problem

which notepad? windows xp? vista? I'm not sure it matters.

there is a button on the keyboard labled "Enter", that will create a new line[/scarcasm] lol just playing lol.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

For some reason wordpad opened the file and it was all invalid characters. Notepad had no problems. I dont understand that but now it is all ok.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

Just use sashimi to export regs settings. Edit the regexport.ini file and put in the keys you want. See the manual for details. That way it's automated. And if you decide in 2 months you want to change the settings, you can run the custom export (registry export quicklink)

studentjunk

10-07-2009 10:33 AM

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

the short answer is no, you cannot do it with the regexport.ini file. It was discussed on the sashimi board on the sashimi user forum.

I use a mortscript to update the registry by putting the script in the auto\scripts directory:

Code:

regwritedword("hkcu","Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync","HTMLTruncation", "-1")

regwritedword("hkcu","Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync","CalendarAgeFilter", "0")

regwritedword("hkcu","Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync","EmailAgeFilter", "4")

regwritedword("hkcu","Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync","MailFileAttachments", "102400")

regwritedword("hkcu","Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync","MIMETruncation", "-1")

regwritedword("hkcu","Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync","CalendarAgeFilter", "0")

sleepmessage(1, "end of script")

exit

Let me know if you need/want more help.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

someone @ xda modified the script to do that, but I find it best to make your own mini reg backup script (mortscript's not so tuff) for variable settings, otherwise I just hard-code the regs I never want/need to change after thier set how I want.

Didn't you guys see this reply right after mine? Just overwrite your script with the one from this link and voila, single export anything you want.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

Stupid question, but what does the OP mean when they say "back up" a file and then export. I've been going in using dotfred regedit and I see the export option so i've exported them to the auto folder, but I don't know how i'm supposed to be backing these entries up.

shaggylive

10-08-2009 02:09 PM

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

I think it was just double talk. starting the sentence with the task at hand (backup) and using the program terminology (export) to complete the task.

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.

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.

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.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

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?

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

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.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

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

10-13-2009 03:22 PM

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

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

Ok so I wanted all my favorite contacts from TF#D as well as all of my contact to transfer over. I thought all i had to do was copy the pim.vol file over to the root folder of Sashimi but nothing happened when i ran it. Did i do this incorrectly?

You would back up your PIM info prior to flashing and restore it using the same steps as above. By doing it this way you're saving the favorites information and their ringtones. Although i am not sure if you can automate this.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

I stopped using TF3d a long time ago, and when I did, I didn't use the contacs from it. However, the launcher used the registry. You can make some changes to the TF3d contacts, do a full registry backup, and then change it back. Then compare the files with windiff. There should be some changes related to TF3d or manilla or something like that. (There will also be about 5 changes that always change). As far as the additional tools and backup pim, it sounds right. I started using ppcpimbackup before noticing that feature.
