Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if there will be any way that we can use IGO8 on the Diamond?
I know that for them moment that is a no-no since there is an absence for a SD card, but is there a way that there will be a way around it ???maybe with the modification of the SYS.txt file?
Thanks

the internal 4GB memory in the Diamond is identified as a "Storage Device" so it shouldnt be a problem.
IGO 8 crash with Diamond...Look HERE
How did he test it?
You can run iGo8 only from the original SD-card (copy protection)!!!
It is not possible to copy the files an run it from another SD-Card.
So it will not be possible to use it on the diamond.

he tested it with cracked igo 8... so it is possible!
I had problems with iGO8 on my P3650 Touch Cruise and i found out that if you disable "Assisted GPS" it will work. I used Pocket Toolman to disable that. I did deleted those two files in the "2577" folder and made myself an shortcut that i placed in \Windows\Start Menu folder. Now it works like a charm. When you don't disable Assisted GPS it crashes all the time. Hope this will help.

I think discussion about illegal software is not really purposeful.
The original poster asked if he will be able to use iGo8 with the diamond.
And the answer is a simple no, as it only works with the included SD-card.

It will work if you place it in the 4 gig space, make a shortcut of iGO.exe in \windows\Start Menu and it will start up and work just fine.

No it will not.
It works only with the SD-Card it came.
iGo8 hast the same copy protection as iGo6 - the program ist bound to the specific SD-card.
Just ask navngo.

This is actually ridiculous: I get a GPS phone and can't install ANY GPS program on it? As far as I know, they all come on SD cards!

its not the hardware manufactor's fault that the software developer cannot write a piece of software to function without a microSD card.

What did you mean by crashes? I have a touch diamond and i have tried to install a version on my device.
What I have done is placed the two folders iGO8 and 2577 folders into the inboard storage of my phone I have then unplugged the phone from the data cable and it then asks me if i want to install iGO, i click yes and it installs, through the instalation, it asks me a unknown publisher wants to acces something, i just click yes, the installation ends up finishing and the program tries to load, then bang nothing, it just goes to the menu screen i was previously on, I then try to access the program through the start menu and programs folder, it tries to execute but then just stops. nothing happens. I have also tried the same thing after a soft reset.
is nthis the kind of issue you were having ?

why don't you try running it by disabling A-GPS using PPC Toolman? The other member claims that with this way, he got it to run using another device though

Exactly, thats what i did and it runs like hell. Sometimes you can go mad when you reboot and get that install again, just delete the two files from 2577 folder.

Yes, but only navngo uses the SD card ID as copy protection. All other progams should function. E.g. TomTom will be included on the O2 version of the diamond.

I couldn't even install that program PPC toolman, i downloaded the link on that page, I put the files on my internal storage and clicked on them through file manager, it just gave me an error message.
I even put the files in My device section of my hard drive and still nothing.
TBH, i have NFI what i'm gonna do next.

I have sent you a private message. Check that out and let us know the result. I don't have a Diamond but I got iGO8 working on a device with the SD card removed, so it should work on the Diamond as well...

Hi,
I already did my research on this topic using the search function provided.
However, I can't get anyone giving the correct solution.
So,
Did anyone here knows how to change Notes SAVE PATH ??
I tried to change the registry in :
(HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Notes) from \Internal Storage into \Internal Storage\Notes
HOWEVER,
everytime I saved the new registry, and DO a soft reset, it always revert back to the original condition, and sometimes, the registry value is "\Internal Storage\Notes" BUT when I save new notes, it was saved in the root of internal storage (as usual).
Please help me to find solution for this one
Thanks so much guys...

omg....please accept my sincere appologies for my ignorance and for my feeble attempt to help in resolving such an important issue.
i solemnly promise to never, never jump and try to help without:
- reading the question (you so gracefully reedited after my answer) at least 5 times.
- searching the forum for similar problems.
- researching and learning all the wm manuals.
sarcasm aside, did you tried "my method"?
please note (pun intended) that even if i did not "get" yr question (but i did!), i certainly didn't deserve the slap. usually here we answer with a "thank you but this was not what i meant". try this next time...
and for the record, i do have all my notes in internal storage\notes as i said and with the simple method i described. no registry editing needed.
i also checked the registry and it is still showing "internal storage" and not "internal storage\notes". the path is not reflected in the registry and i do not have an explanation for this...
and here is the proof that i did understand yr question and that my simple, no registry editing, "just use the program settings" method works. look at the path and at first note....
sir... I'm sorry beforehand if I sound rude to you... and if it did, please know that I never meant to
Ok, back to the topic, I did actually tried your simple method, by going to 'Notes', and Options, Save to: 'Internal Storage'... but this eventually gets the 'Notes' to save its new files at the root directory of 'Internal Storage'.
How could you get that kind of setting to save your notes at 'Internal Storage\Notes' instead ?
Could you direct me and give me a guidance on how to direct newly saved notes files to 'Internal Storage\My Documents\Notes' ?
Once again, I would like to say thank you for your willingness to try solve this matter with me
When you're in notes theres a folder drop down list on the top left, you can add a notes folder there and it will put it in Internal Storage, I got mine in Internal Storage\Notes as well but can't get it working trying Internal Storage\My Documents\Notes

glad i am not the only one....that's the way to do it, nothing to add.
maybe is not recognizing more than 2 levels..."Internal Storage\My Documents\Notes" is a 3 levels path.
to the OP: glad to help when i can!
FOR KIEN & KUKURIKU :
Thanks so much for the kind explanation you guys have given.
Eventhough I can't save notes in 3 level path, but at least Im happy enough to save in internal storage\notes.
Thank you guys
Has anyone noticed that if any file is deleted from WinMo side, it eventually ends up in the recycle bin on Vista Side. This happens even if they are disconnected or even if vista is turned off.
Thanks
Ram
dont work?
Does anyone else see that behaviour? Me not, you are sure that you are not deleting a mapped folder or something like that?

Yes, pretty much sure.
--Ram--
If it works with vista turned off, and the deleted file is not cached at another position, wm needs hdd access and the path where recylce bin is stored.You could check hdd access by listening to the spin of the hdd or maybe see a led.
You have a special rom or changed something, you have a inserted SD card?

I don't have special ROM installed. WM doesn't have access to SD Card. Let me try to listen to hd or look at hd led next time when I am near my shift. Currently I am away from it on a tour. I am using thaihugo's version of ROM.
Thanks
Ram
I tried it with thaigos rom too, but still dont get this behaviour. Probably you see the file in the recycle bin because of a synchronisation of files between WM and Vista, if you delete the file in wm, the sync just delete it in vista part too.

It is possible. The other thing i noticed is the Harddisk led flashes whenever you soft reset the windows mobile. Also if you notice program files folder on Vista side has a folder called HTC and under that you would see another folder called SnapVue. This would get replaced with newer SnapVue folder whenever you reinstall ROM (WinMo). Of course this is an empty folder.
Thanks

How to install more programs when 256 MB of ROM are full. Can I install more programs on microSD cards? And how?

Well when you run .cab on phone it asks for place to install choose Storage Card.
Also as a rule i use only Device Memory for programs that load on startup or need fast access and Movie player to take load off Storage Card. Keeping as much space on Device memory as possible so the device runs @ optimum.
Hope that helps.

So Stylez, do you use Schaps Advance Config? If you do, under locations do you change any of the default locations to point to the mem card (besides of course My docs, pics, vids, downloads)
You seem to be quite the expert so I value your opinion about how to set up my device.

I keep everything as is
My Pictures get stored to SD nothing else is really space concious... Downloadz always to SD
More important is the cleaning of device temp files etc, Clear Temp using on a regular bases... Along with sktool Free RAM (silent) running every 6 hours, also use MTreeSize to view file system for anything that's taking up space and unwanted.
No expert just too much time on my hands

Hi All,
I have been stuck up with a problem, not sure if this is the right forum to ask teh doubt..but as this thread is dedicated to Storage cards i thought to give t a try.
Recently i had used my phones storage card on a system and my card got affected by a virus. All the card name and files in it were changed to special characters. when i checked (again on my pc this time) there is no data on my card, its hodden and only a file called "Secret.exe" on my card. However on checking the properties i can see that the used memory is quite huge which means my data is there on teh card but is not visible.
I had some imp data on the card so not possible to format the card.
Does any one have come across this virus and knows the way to extract my data?
Any kind of help will be appreciated, as i have checked on google and am afraid have not been able to find even one perfect solution for this one on a SD card.
---------------------------------X------------------------------
Thanks a ton...
Haven't come across this virus, but if you type 'secret.exe' into Google there is a lot of hits, including a few with 'removal' in the title
May help, may not, but let us know how you get on
Thanks Fallen Spartan....
I had checked most of the links given by Google and they are mostly for the PC getting affected where in u need to change the some registries to see the files.
I have tried those but have not succeeded.
Tried several shredder softs to extract the data as well... i am not concerned over the card...its teh data which i badly require and i have no no backup
does your card have an "autorun.inf" file on it? if so delete it.
Yeah Josefcrist... my card indeed has an "autorun.inf" file on it... but i am not sure i am able to delete it... any special way...tried shift deleting it couple of times...
Use a data recovery software get what you can off card, then format your card nice and simple removal
Re: data recovery BadCopy Pro works well.
Thanks Stylez i will try this soft and will let you know...
I did try recovering the data through a diff soft though which didnt work...
My fingers crossed for this one
this doesn't work?

Its meant for pc's not sd cards....look at nimish_fun's 2nd post. He has already tried solutions for pc's
a sdcard connected in drive mode or in a sdreader
can be scanned and cleaned with a normal virus scanner on the pc
same deal with undelete and anything else you can do with an external hd really
unless ur SD Card Reader is locked. then you have to move the switch.

Thanks a ton to all and stylez, this software really worked for me...i can't believe how easlity it extracted all the files for me...
One catch though it recovers and lets you preview all the files but needs the registration key to save the files... however in my case the key was worth buying
