at this time, i have installed the 1.62 with german language-pack ...

is this possible in any way ?

as there are lots of settings - of which some (!) might be migrated - which one are you talking about? :)

[nice]

the files,the pim,the registry .. and the rest

As long as you do not change the OS AND keep the size of the RAM-disk you have a good chance to migrate all data.
When you are changing the OS OR the size of the RAM-disk ... seems to be nearly impossible. I have updated a ROM and changed the size of the RAM-disk and only succeded in restoring the data with sunnysoft by hand (all important one woithout a problem: PIM, other database etc.).
But - logically - all programs (formerly installed onto the RAMDisk) and their settings did not work any longer.

Hope this helps, best regards

P.S.: Possibly the new version of Sprite BackUp might help, as they say, that the newest version is able to restore data after an update :shock: ! (can´t comment, as I am only using Sunnysoft and SPB Backup)

[nice]

the ramdisk shouldnt be the problem ...
i want to change it - but only from not present to present ...

everithing,i want to migrate is on the doc (and on the sd ;) )

do you think,the data stays,if i only update the rom without deleting the doc ?

[Shrek3k]

When you are updating the ROM the whole "System memory"/ "Main memory" will be erased and formated (!!)... everything else (which only is the SD-Card :?) will not be touched at all.

This means: you have to (at least) copy every document from the "main/ system memory" to the SD-Card - the most reliable solution for this task is a backup program, because you won´t be able (at least my experience) to copy the system data base (as PIM, etc.) by hand. My recommendations: SKTools, Sunnysoft BackupManager or SPB Backup (little bit more complicated to select the files manually, as you have to decompress the backup-exe-file on you PC).

(Just to be sure: what do you mean with "doc" - auf Deutsch? :) )

Schönen Gruß

doc ist die disk-on-chip ...

ich sollte letztens für jemanden sein rom neuflashen und habe dabei vergessen,beim "hardreset",also in dem menu,wo man die 3 punkte hat,die sachen einzustellen ... bei ihm hat sich nichts geändert - daher gehe ich davon aus,dass beim flashen der doc nicht gelöscht wird - erst danach(oder sollte man es davor machen? ) manuell

das wäre ne machbare lösung - nur würd ich gern wissen,ob die settings angenommen werden - ich hab fast die ahnung,dass das dann mit dem deutsch-patch rumzickt,welchen ich auf der 1.62wwe habe

aber es ist gut zu wissen,dass es mittlerweile funktionierende back-up-programme gibt ... ich mach einfach vorher mit jedem einzelnen ein backup :lol:

you can use explore in as and copy files you want to your pc

[nice]

but that wont help with the registry and the today-screen

[Rudegar]

the registry may not be such a good idear to take along with you
one of the differences between roms is also regitry
if you take the registry from one version to another you may very well end up with a malfunctioning device
much like you would if you took it with you from one versions of pc windows to another

not sure about pda registry editors
but in regs on pc's you can export it to a a text reg file you can run on another to add the regitry

and today screen depend on 2 things registry and
and installed programs
to get the programs installed you can just click add remove programs in AS
to get programs installed using AS installed on the new device
