Question about "Permanent Save" feature

Hi there,
Could anyone assist? I am trying to make a cab of personal settings to reset my registry settings to after a hard reset, but am having trouble with Permanent Save. I have contacts, appointments and tasks stored in the permanent area, and after I do a hard reset I can go into Permanent Save on the control panel, tick the boxes and all my contacts reappear and all is well.
However, if I take a snapshot of the registry before activating the tickboxes, and then afterwards and apply the differences, it overrights the existing data with nothing. The keys I have tried are
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\AdvancedCPL]
"CalendarPassCheck"=dword:00000001
"ContctPassCheck"=dword:00000001
"EnabledStateCalendar"=dword:00000001
"EnabledStateContact"=dword:00000001
"EnabledStateTask"=dword:00000001
"TASKPassCheck"=dword:00000001
It does work in ticking the boxes, but not in doing a restore - well only a restore to no data. Do I have to make some changes to any files as well?
Thanks!
Q.

Hello Q I'm in exactly the same boat, if you look at the \storage\persavebackup folder from you PC you'll see a bunch of files the saved info will look like TaskRecord.txt etc and yup they get overwriten with files of 0 value when I run my script and do a soft reset or add in new values.
I've tried copying files back into the persavebackup folder to see if they are then picked up but no joy - its very odd must be missing something.
I thought the entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Pim\schedID might be something to do with it as an entry is put in here when there is data saved with perm save but didnt seem to make any difference when I changed this.
if I get anywhere I'll post back.

Why would you want to use the permanent save anyway?
I mean, hey, xBackUp is there, innit?

XDAIIs - SMS draft missing

Whenever I compose and not able to send the SMS and click the OK button it disapear, in normal condition it shoul be saved in the Draft folder.
Although it is visible in the counter when I open the draf folder there is nothing in it.
I already perform a soft reset and try to boot in safe mode to check if there is a conflict with the application installed at my phone but nothing works.
I have tried to explore the folder windows/messaging to check if the Draft SMS is physically saved in the device and I think it is there (by checking the date and time of the file is created).
I need some advise on how can I solve this problem withou performing a hard reset, because rigth now I'm just manually deleting files at windows/messaging to save storage space.
I know harset will definetlt solve this but I dont want to perform a hard reset since I dont have a PC to configure my XDA back ang installed my favorite applications

You might need to hard reset...to solve this problem...

Avoiding Hard reset
I know Hard reset will definetly resolve my problem but will introduce more because I dont have a PC to doit as for now. I'm just currently renting one a internet cafe

wow is going to be dificult if you don't have computer..

Withou a Computer
Yah, I know it is difficult, although rigth now my hand are itchi to hard reset my phone I'm trying hard not to because I will not be able to use my favorite apps ang games. If I just have an admin priveledge with this PC that I am using I will not have any second thought to performe a hard reset.
That is why I posted my problem here, for my hope there there is somebody that could help me.
In addition I have Resco explorer install witha registry editor plugin, so incase i need to check or edit any file or registry I can.

You can try backup with Sprite Backup or Spb Backup. Hard Reset then restore everything except e-mail/messaging.

Need help removing an application

Hey everyone first time poster, just wanna say love the site and I come to you guys for some help........
I installed "Alfonso ThrottleLauncher" and my touch became very slow. I then attempted to remove it via Settings/System/Remove Programs. Everytime I try to remove it I get " Alfonso ThrottleLauncher was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs? " I tryed doing a soft reset and that didnt help. I also tryed removing it through MemMaid and that didn't work. Can anyone please help me get this thing off my Touch, it's running like crap.

I was under the assumption that it was making my touch slow because evertime I would open windows from file explorer it would take nearly 10 minutes to open and the ppc wouldnt run until it was opened. Now the problem i'm having is that i finally got the app removed, but the windows opening proccess is still giving me trouble. Any idea why this is happening. It only happens when trying to open windows.

The "\Windows" directory will always take longer to open due to the amount of files stored there. MemMaid should have wiped out all the files, I use and it works great. If you think there are additional files, just search the folders and registry. Or you could reinstall and use only MemMaid to clean it, I also have "Remove Bad Registry from Unistall" used during QuickClean.
Or.....hard reset if you want it all gone.

Cab Problem

Ok, I installed a cab which I think was wrong for my phone - It's the BignAdad transparent taskbar cab. I have a TP2. Anyway, now I can't access all settings nor can I go into the start menu, everything else works properly although it's a bit slower and the icons at the top of the screen don't display properly.
Because of the functions that are disabled, i cannot uninstall this cab. I do have total commander. Can I uninstall it from there? If I have to reset to factory settings (not a problem as I won't lose anything major and I have everything backed up on my pc), how do I do that? Can i do it from my phone or is there a part on the phone I have to press in with a pin or something?
Please help me out!!!!

What you're talking about is called a Hard Reset...and if you're already installing cabs you find online without knowing about hard resets and how and when to do them, you're getting dangerously ahead of yourself. Use the search box in the top right to look for "TP2 Hard Reset", and read very carefully...you need to make sure you know as much as you can about the possible consequences of your tinkering and how to undo it before you start making potentially disabling changes.

Run down on startup programs

Hi guys. I am running stock ATT Tilt 2.
From the files in the Windows\StartUp folder
HTCStartUp - What does this program do? Important
MessageCSPTool - Does? Important?
PKG - Does? Important
poutlook - I assume it just loads the mail in the background so it loads and responds faster.
Question though,
On StartUp it runs NewBreak.exe, I want to dump that. How?
Also, it is running two programs for mail, one called "tmail.exe" and the other is the "poutlook.exe". Do I need both? What does tmail.exe do?

I'd also like to know what I can remove from startup. I have Tmous, and do not use Outlook to sync, I also do not use push email. I would like to remove anything that is not ABSOLUTELY necessary from startup. Some programs may have installed in startup, and I am perfectly happy just starting them manually when I need them, rather than having them start every time.
poutlook.ink
bttrayce.ink
delwmptempfolder.ink
htcstartup.ink
syncmanager.ink
instant forward.ink
pkg.ink
rungnangent.exe
ysrem.exe
Thank you in advance for your insight to this matter.

Try to move the files...
Try to move (cut / paste) one of the files in the startup folder ONE AT A TIME!! to a temporary folder (any place will do other than where it is now)
(these files are "links" or "'Shortcuts" to the real files in /Windows directory)
Make sure you have all your data backed up to a flash card or SD micro flash card or try the Microsoft "MyPhone" service... After all.. it's free. so if you end up with a phone that wont start up normally you can do a hard reset and the phone will revert back to factory clean install or what ever ROM you flashed into it. Then you can recover your stuff off of the MicroSD card or the MyPhone service.
1 make a new folder in the /windows/startup folder e.g. "temp" or "test"
2 tap and hold one of the files e.g. 'poutlook' - hold it untill you get the blue dots and then a menu.
3. select the "CUT" option from the menu
4. tap on the new folder you created to navigate into it, and then tap and hold untill you get the menu again, and then select "Paste"
5. do a soft reset and see what happens. Play around and see what is working and what is not working.
6. If nothing bad happens try another file until either you get the result you want OR all the files a gone, OR badness happens.
Most of these programs just run in the background and start services like bluetooth or Pocket Outlook so that they will start faster when you select them.
I removed Myfaves from the startup folder on my wing and it stopped My Faves from starting and gave me about 6MB of program memory back.
I never tried the others.
I just got my Touch Pro 2 so i'd be curious to see how you make out.
Good luck!
