Yes, but it would be so much better (from a user standpoint of course) to have them all backed up and restored from one app/click.
Also, please add tf3d stockmarket settings to the list.

I have not thought of this because the primarily reason for me to pick up my programming hat was the frustration of having to manually select my favorite contacts after each ROM flash (and I do it every other day).
I have to think about it, but more importantly if I have time for it, as this is a scope-creep
It's not that difficult since these settings are either in file or registry form, versus the favorite contacts that are embedded in the POOM-based database that requires abit of trial and error and research.But I agree with you and some that it'll be a good tool to have to backup all the settings related to Manila. Maybe I will do a 'Manila Backup Utility' in my next major release.
This is not working with Manila 2d version 2 (Mega)the Manage Contacts and the Manage Ring tones are both grayed out and i can't untick them or change,
when i do the back-up the app finds my contacts but backs up 0 ,
I then tried to restore and the app just freezes
Is this for touchflo 3d only ?
Graphics size up fine on qvga
Great app just whats needed
my apologises, this only tested and worked in Touchflo3d, because I do not have manila 2D to check.
At this point, the checkbox are grayed out because I have not enabled the user choice feature yet, so it's always backing up both attributes of the contact.
Why it's 0 contact, because at this point it would only backup the ringtone if its a HTC favorite contact. So if you have ringtone assigned to this contact but he/she is not in your favorite people tab, this contact is not archived. Next version would backup all contacts' ringtone.
And the reason for your freeze, probably I have not taken into consideration the scenario where the file is zero size
Sorry about that.
managed to flash a ROM that has manila 2.5. Apart from using the contact's category to determine if the contact is the favorite in the people tab, there's also other information used to determine the default contact method as well as the favorite ordering. The next version, I would incorporate these so as to facilitate the migration from manila 2.1 to 2.5, as well as for usual backup/restore purposes.

Thanks for your reply and i hope that this will also work for manila 2d one day soon as this will be a must have application in my opinion
keeping an eye here hoping to see manila 2D in it's listings
Is there any way you can make this work for the newest Builds of 6.5.x? Seems that you make a call to pocket outlook, maybe you have version number in there and it is getting error due to version number? Apparently PocketOutlook has changed somehow in builds 23024-23025(hope it soesnt stay, but thought I would forwarn that there copuld be issues eventually)
what's the error message you get?
I didn't make any call that's verision specific. IT's a standard WM API interface.

Thanks For this Great APP .. i've been doing this manually for ages .. what a Relief ..

Thanks, I think there is a build problem. Your app is great. M$ has changed some things which have caused problems. Easy enough to use parts from a previous build(GAC**.dll)
good to hear that.
for folks who are using manila 2.5, please let me know if the favorite contact order is being backup and restored correctly. Obviously when you first moved from manila 2.1 to 2.5, your ordering will be based on the alphabet order since in 2.1, the backup will not have the order information. Let me know if you have any problem.
Also, the ringtone setting can be backup/restored, but the files need to be backup/restore separately using sashimi or pimbackup. I'm not adding the latter since there's other way to do the job.
no this doesn't. I've not looked at facebook.vol database structure and I'm not sure if I've the mean to do that anyway.
i really hope that u do .. as it's a really long process to click on each contact name and associate it with one of the friends you have on the facebook list ..
i hope we'll see that on a future release and pretty soon ..
is there a manual way to backup the facebook associations?
thanks for your time and response

the only way is to backup the .vol file in the root directory. But it may not work if the vol contains the x-ref of the facebook ids and the pim id in the pim.vol. the pim id may change after a new sync session.
No contact saving
Hi,
I've instaled this contact back up application and than i tried to back up my contact in my HTC TP2 (prior that I created a folder for contacts' back up on storage card). App scanned all the contact in phone but none of the was saved - "0 contacts saved".
Do you have any comments what am I doing wrong ?

do you have any contacts selected in the people tab?
do you have any contacts that has a ringtone assigned?
remember this is not to backup all your contacts, but only your favorite contacts and/or contacts with ringtone assigned.
