<a href="https://github.com/sirfz/allprotection.tcl" target="_blank">AllProtection is now on GitHub</a>! This makes it easier for everyone to further maintain and improve the script if necessary.<br />
<br />
There's been many posts on the <a href="http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?t=9721" target="_blank">script's thread on Egghelp</a> which I never had the time to address. I haven't been using Eggdrops or TCL for almost 8 years now so it's safe to say that I won't be coming back any time soon.<br />
<br />
Hosting AllProtection on GitHub allows other possibly-interested devs or enthusiasts to contribute by fixing long-standing bugs and adding new features.<br />
<br />
I've already made some changes just for fun and addressed an old bug in addition to adding a new feature. Check out the <a href="https://github.com/sirfz/allprotection.tcl/releases" target="_blank">releases page</a> for details :)<br />
<br />

Two months ago, I switched from my Nokia N8 to my new Samsung Galaxy S II handset. Of course, I had to move all my data from the old phone to the new one. Didn't know, however, that switching between Symbian and Android isn't very well facilitated. It was pretty easy to move contacts, pictures and media from Symbian to Android but the complicated part was moving sms messages. I found some helpful methods online such as <a href="http://dkgadget.com/learn-transfer-sms-messages-symbian-os-android/">this</a> (<strike>I suggest you try it first before reading further and trying my method</strike>) but unfortunately it didn't work for me because my Ovi Suite version was new and not supported by the Nokia2AndroidSMS application (it failed to extract my messages). So, I had to figure out a different way to do this, which required some coding. I decided to share my method with the world as I'm sure lots of other users faced similar problems. This should work no matter what version of Ovi Suite you got:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Connect your Nokia handset and start Nokia Ovi Suite on your PC</li>
<li> Create a backup .nbu file (it doesn't matter what you select for backup, as long as it includes messages)</li>
<li>Download <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nbuexplorer/">NBU Explorer</a> (open-source program which allows you to explore .nbu backup files and export them)</li>
<li>Run NbuExplorer.exe > File > Open > Browse to your .nbu file and open it </li>
<li>Go to the Messages tab and click on "Export Messages" button located above the table on the right pane</li>
<li>in the "Save as type" field, select (*.xml) and save the file</li>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>ATTENTION</b></span>: As of version 3.0 of NbuExplorer, it now natively supports exporting messages in <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en" target="_blank">SMS Backup & Restore</a> XML format, so you can export your messages in this format and skip to step 13. Thanks to <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/11211436262103805607" target="_blank">Petrusek</a> for adding this useful feature :) </li>
</ul>
<li>I wrote a little tool which converts the .xml file to the format accepted by the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en" target="_blank">SMS Backup & Restore</a> Android application. Download <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/mq1kl4si1jsgo1g/XML2Android.exe?dl=1" target="_blank">XML2Android.exe</a></li>
<li>Save the tool in the same folder where you saved the .xml extracted file</li>
<li>Open the command line console (Win7: Start > type "cmd" and press enter)</li>
<li>CD to the directory where you saved the files (e.g. CD C:\my_messages\)</li>
<li>Execute: XML2Android <yourfile.xml> (e.g. XML2Android my_sms.xml)</li>
<li>This will generate a file called AndroidSMS.xml, copy this file to your Android phone</li>
<li>On your Android, download the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en" target="_blank">SMS Backup & Restore</a> app from Google Play</li>
<li>Now, simply run the app on your phone and Restore your old messages from the generated XML file. You're done!</li>
</ol>
Note: A user reported that he faced some problems with weird characters in the exported XML file from NBU Explorer. The XML2Android app will report the location of the invalid character(s) so make sure you modify the file using a text editor (I recommend <a href="http://notepad-plus-plus.org/">Notepad++</a>) to remove the bad lines and re-run the app against it (to avoid missing messages). Thanks to "Dr. Manjit M" who reported this problem below in the comments.<br />
<br />
Note 2: The XML2Android.exe tool requires .Net Framework 3.5 to run, if you have Windows 7 it shouldn't be a problem (you might need to install the required framework on other Windows versions). Also, it is a basic tool which I wrote roughly without capturing any exceptions or false usage... Make sure you use it correctly before reporting any bugs<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Edit5: Updated link to XML2Android.exe executable. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Edit4: Updated post with NbuExplorer's native support for exporting messages in the appropriate format </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Edit3: Updated the XML2Android.exe tool to set empty values for missing elements (should reduce error possibility) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Edit2: Added exception handling to skip erroneous messages </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Edit: There was a bug with the XML2Android.exe originally uploaded app. It has now been fixed</span> </div>

<br />
Useful scripts that I've written for public use:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34099794/allprotection4.7.zip" target="_blank">All Protection v4.7</a> (<a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/ub1lfsTA/allprotection47.html" target="_blank">mirror</a>) - Latest beta: <a href="https://github.com/sirfz/allprotection.tcl/releases" target="_blank">All Protection v4.9b4</a><br />
An all around protection script which protects your channels from all types of floods (public/private/notice/CAPS/codes/clones/joins/parts/revolving door/mass floods/takeovers/drones/advertisements/bad words/nicks and more...) and has a built-in anti-spam bot which can cycle your channels and signal your Eggdrop to kick offenders. Includes custom features like kick info and counter in kick-messages and banning through services. Also can akill/k-line offenders if the bot is an IRCOp; script can be tweaked based on your desire.<br />
<a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34099794/fzcommands3.1.zip" target="_blank">Fz Commands v3.1</a> (<a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/gYasqQXD/fzcommands31.html" target="_blank">mirror</a>)<br />
A script which allows public and private control of your bot. It has admin and owner access levels, highly secure and can assign different access levels for users on every channel. Contains all essential commands such as op, voice, kick, ban, add, remove, chattr...etc (includes manipulating eggdrop's internal ban list). Recommended for controlling your channel.<br />
<a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34099794/blacklist1.4.zip" target="_blank">Black List v1.4</a> (<a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/8ERNn9Ym/blacklist14.html" target="_blank">mirror</a>)<br />
A script which allows you to add hostmasks to a black list via DCC or public commands. Very fast in banning blacklisted users and protects the bot from flooding out if many blakclisted users join simultaneously. Nifty options included in the script.<br />
<a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34099794/Ping1.4.zip" target="_blank">Ping v1.4</a> (<a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/CxDuxnIp/Ping14.html" target="_blank">mirror</a>)<br />
A nice little script that replies to !ping requests (can be enabled/disabled on each channel).<br />
