Can I use a backup program to reinstall applications after a rom update. I have tested every rom that came out but manually reinstalled all the apps after rom update. Any help would be great.
Thanks ,
Victoria
That's not a good idea: if the registry structure has been changed, from the previous rom to the new one, when you restore your backup, it can really mess things up!
Thanks for the quick reply. its a pain to do the installs on my jasjar but its double with the O2 exec XDA as well. Best to do it the wright way
I use the Rom upgrade utility from Sprite and it does the job always. No issues yet. Follow the instructions to the letter though..
I use SpbBackup with great results, but like vmiguel said, you shouldn't restore backups between ROM flashes as it restores ALL settings and registry entries, and this aint a good idea unless on the same ROM.
U shld freshly install every app after a clean ROM upgrade as it would also speed up ur device.
i have a question.
All softwares work good for WM5 will work on WM6?

That depends on the software. Most work well, others require WM6 support.
SPB BAckup... and it is in my folder....

Lets say I have two G3 version, CID unlocked Wizards. Call them W1 and W2.
I installed WM6 (X-plorer 1.1) and all software I need on one of them (W1). Everything is fine.
W2 is still stock TMobile WM5 device.
1. If I make full SPB Backup image of W1, can I then take that image and install it on W2, making it WM6 device ? If not ....
2. Can I upgrade W2 to be WM6 device and then apply image from W1 ? If not ... what would you suggest.
Basically idea is to make copy of W1 and move it to W2. I dont want to install software and tweaks on both devices
Any suggestions ?

I would say, flashing the secound W2 and then restoring the backup of W1 would be the safer way. But for me no backup worked perfectly although it has been the same device with the same OS. Sometime active sync didn´t function anymore - the other time messaging was not able.
Give it a try. When you just flash W2 - you get WM6.
And when restoring is worse - you make a hardreset and install.
It´s hard work but it will work.
Btw - wait on Xplore 2.0 before startin!!

I have created a backup of my WM5 using SPB-Backup, then proceeded to load WM6, and ran the backup. Everything seemed to transfer over alright

So you initially had WM5 and SPB Backup image was for WM5, right ? Then you upgraded to WM6 and then run backup ...
1. did you end up having WM6 or WM5 ?
2. That was on the same device, right ?

I'm surprised (and question whether) this worked. WM5 and WM6 use different PIM databases. I did something similar the first time I moved to WM6 and found it completely hosed up where outlook couldn't find the database and I couldn't get sms or anything.
From what I've read, and my own experieince, you should not restore a full backup (like from spb backup) from one type of rom to another.
As for the OP question, spb backup (and similar) do not copy the actual rom. So to do this, you'd have to install XPlore 1.1 onto both, configure the one, then backup and restore onto the other. Even then, I'm not sure if thats a great idea, but it should work.
Ok i have been able to get it installed just keeps bugging me about certification. Anyone got any idea as to how to fix this?
Did you make a cab from the dump of one the roms?
Good luck with your endeavours to make an office 2007 cab. I heard this isnt possible because it has to be cooked into the rom....

Ya the only way of it working is to cook as you can not override the old office!!! Or you would have two different offices on your phone!
Well, even when i do cook it into the rom it gives me the cert issue. Any ideas? And the sad part is, when i cook it into the rom, OneNote works perfectly without error. LOL. I must be missing something.

Everything except onenote? that's really strange. I have imported mun rom's office package into faria latest real thing with no problem, and needless to say on mun's rom it's also working fine. If your moving the package to another rom dump the only thing that comes to mind is to make sure that you update/replace all office files. Another thing is the office suite opening at all, or does it give you the security warning and exit?
if its possible to create the office why dont u remove the files from the rom to start off with then install the cab

What if you cooked your rom without office, could you install it to the SD card?! Save space in your rom cooking, and save storage in your device!
I am waiting to flash my rom, but I am gonna try this. And yes I will pull the package from the ROM.
Oem Files Working On Wizard
Here you have all the files for Office 2007 mobile, tested and working on my Wizard (English), just copy EVERYTHING on \Windows and reset, if you can make me a cab installer will be perfect.... Enjoy and chears!!!
Thanks bfjosue,but why the files are very small.
Your ppt.exe is only 26.1 KB.
Same as excel and word mobile.
The real binaries (pword.exe etc.) are missing. It just uses the old Office binaries. So no, it is not Office 2007...

If you install this cab it fixes the problem. I "lifted" it from the Hermes thread, and it works on my patched together rom. I haven't decoded the cab, but I know you're good at it, so...

What is ROM?
1. Can you explain it with repect to PocketPC like HTC?
2. What is meant by Flashing a ROM?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum
ROM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROM_image
Flashing means to install a ROM in your device, is like changing form XP to Vista in a computer

hmm, thats like a ROM chip.
Users are talking about 'cook' a ROM or something, like add or upgrade a new ROM.
So, what does that actually do and why we(users) wish to do?
Does that changes the theme/skin ONLY, or like upgrades the whole device like from XP to Vista?
Does adding ROM means converting WM6 to WM6.1 or something, if so then will WM6.1 be able to run games of WM6.0?
THanks

The ROM is a section of Read only Memory on the NAND chip that can be only updated by flashing it.
The ROM image (nowadays a NBH file) can contain the whole OS, the radio (FW for cell chip), SPL (bootloader) and/or splash screen.
On this site referring to a "ROM" is normally just taking about the OS part. A Cooked ROM is a modifed OS that has extra stuff added or taken away.
So yes, a OS ROM image can update the whole OS from WM6.0 to 6.1 or even 6.5. Whether or not the games works depends on the game, most 6.0 stuff should be forward compatable
Hope this helps

Hello,
I have flashed my Fuze with a WM 6.5 ROM without TouchFlo. I am now in need of TouchFlo, but do not want to wipe out all the data and contacts from my phone. Is there a place I can download a TF3D version (latest is good, but older version is fine too) to install WITHOUT flashing another ROM?
Thanks,
Walletless
just do a search, theres alot of versions and themes. its really not hard to find.
or you could back up all your data with pim backup or sprite and then flash to a rom with tf3d
