Erasing contacts in flash (and a Naked Woman on my XDA!!!)

---

made you look :twisted:

now to the q in hand

I brought my xda second hand - the previuos owner had saved all his contact info on 'permanant save' so when I restore from 'permanent save' I get all his contact details.

How can i delete his contact stuff off 'permanently save' :twisted:

Hard reset :?

roko: that doesn't erase those :P

Jacko: made look :)))))))) if you want to get rid of his contacts, check the box in permanent save and click ok, your contact will be copies to rom and his contacts will be synchronized with them. Now you need to uncheck the box again, thus erasing all contacts in ROM.
Now you have nothing in ROM and all yours and his contacts in RAM. Delete them and re-synchronize from desktop (make backup copy in case your activesync desides that it will replace desktop with mobile device :))

Changed the subject, santizing the ROM, adding files

Made me look, and I've added a little to the subject...

I must admit it was the first message I read, so the strategy worked. However: this is a very busy forum, and if we are to use it to find information in such a way that we're not all re-inventing wheels all the time, we do need somewhat descriptive subjects.


On the topic of ROM contacts: this point was driven home to me as well when I copied someone's ROM. Maybe we need a tool to sanitize ROM images, to be incorporated in the XDA ROM Image Tool ?

Has anyone (possibly with platform builder experience) taken a good look at these images, and determined what's where? I wouldn't mind being able to add files (SMS fix, etc) to an image. Maybe we could even create an XDA-developers special edition ROM...

Hiya there sorry about the description wont happen again ops:

>this part is fine


. Now you need to uncheck the box again, thus erasing all contacts in ROM.

>whenever you go to 'permanant save the box is always unchecked anyway kinda confused on this part


do you mean save all my info on desktop - delete all my contacts and then save on to permanent save thus saving no info... thus having nothing in rom (sorry about the thus's its late in the evening)
