transfer programms from ram to sdcard

hello,
first: very good page, with a lot of infos and bombastic apps.
but i'm a newbie, i read a lot, but couldn't find a post recommend to my question. also my english isnt very good
my problem: i bought my herald without a memory card. so i installed the apps i found&liked (touchflo,flashlite,kaiserhomeplugin,htc cube clone;total commander;google maps,scitebackup) in the ram of my ppc.
but today i bought a micro sd card. now i would like to move my apps to the card.
questions: can i cut&paste the apps in the folder "programms" to a folder in my card, with the total commender. or isnt this allowed because of the registry or something like that? maybe problem with the .ink files?!
is it better to uninstall all programms. and install them new,this time directly to the sdcard?
thanks for your helps
greetings...
you can try copy paste
just like on pc's some will run others will not
though mind you things like today items and other always
running programs should not be put on the sd card
as they are much slower then storage
thank u
My SD card runs them as fast as the main memory, but I wouldn't install things that are running all the time in it. So, don't install things like the cube on the card. You should uninstall and reinstall the programs into the proper memory storage. It's easier and less problematic that way.
You can move installed programs between MAIN or SD memory using POCKET MECHANIC (http://www.wizcode.com/)
I moved all the tmobile crap (hotspot login, tzones wap, etc..) and anything else I don't want to get rid of, but I never use onto my SD card.
How will we have to wait for a 10 or 12 gb Micro SD Card

Where does Pocket informant save all the data?

I have installed Pocket Informant on my memory card but somehow it saves all my daily notes somwhere in phone memory. Last time I carried out the hard reset I lost all my daily notes. How can I make it save all daily notes on my memory card instead of phone memory or can someone help me to locate the file in which Pocket informat saves all its data so I can back it up?
They are saved in My Documents in the phone memory - not on the card.
AFAIK Pocket Informant shares data with Windows Mobile (contact, task, calendar). Just save your notes to storage card.
Regarding the setting of PI, it's located on Main Memory \Application Data\WebIS.

Thanks dgduris but can you give me the name of the file in which data is saved. I'm trying to find it in my documents folder but nothing looks like a file created by Pocket Informant.
@cayotte That's the problem I can't make it save the daily notes in the memory card. I've tried to find something in PI options but there was nothing there.
"Regarding the setting of PI, it's located on Main Memory \Application Data\WebIS"
Ok but do you mean that only "settings" is saved in that folder?
And there's a difference between normal notes and Pocket Informant daily notes. I can save normal notes in my memory card but can't do the same with daily notes(I can view them only in Pocket Informant).

Cayotte is right in that PI shares PIM data with WM.
And AFAIK, PI (from version 8 onwards) stores settings in the registry and no longer in a settings file in \Application Data\WebIS.
As for the loss of the daily notes, can't help u there, I'm afraid. I did encounter this problem when I was using PI version 7, following some unrelated hard resets.
I didn't have the chance to test this with PI8 yet (fingers crossed).
Maybe you can try the forums at pocketinformant.com?

how to sync files to memory card

does anyone know how to do this? i guess normally with windows mobile and active sync it syncs files to "my documents" folder on the device, which is organized in a practical way with all of the folders you'd need to organize all of your files but with the onboard storage space you'd be lucky to be able to store a small ammount of music. I guess i have around 100mb of storage on my phone and 8gigs on my microsd card which i'd rather use for syncing files. i tried cutting and pasting the documents folder on my phone to my card, but active sync just recreates this folder on my phone and won't let me sync any file(s) larger than the small size that is allowed on my phone. anyone know how to get active sync to sync files to a folder on your memory card? thanks. btw, if it matters i have a tilt with the shipped rom.
Personally all I do is open "my mobile device" in My Computer select the right folder I want to store to on the memory card and simply drag and drop
you can use a tool named "mobsync".
i think it would fit perfect to your needs.
The newest Version of mobsync is commercial, but you can find older versions on the internet, which are freeware.

Kaiser Hangs with 8GB Card

Hello,
Whenever my Kaiser's Media player accesses the new 8GB card for music on it, it hangs. When I remove the card the phone revives. What could be the problem. Thanks
Regards
Format the card, either with the phone, or in windows. Then pop it into the phone so it can build its own folder structure, and then reload your music. I had this issue when I first got my 8gb also.
Search and read up on MicroSDHC on wiki ... Also check if its formated as Fat32, download ie. pocket mechanic for this (Licensed but trial are free), you can see its format under card information. If all fail use the Xda-Dev Search Engine whit strings as: MicroSDHC reformat, tons of info and I bet your issue is in there somewhere

Setting to make Kaiser work like a flash disk

Hey guys
Anyways I want to know if it is possible to change a setting somewhere to get my Kaiser to work like a flash disk, at the moment I have an 8 gig memory card in it and it takes forever to copy files to and from it, you also need to have Active Sync or Windows Mobile Manager installed on the PC to be able to do so...
All I want to have is, when I plug my Kaiser in, a REMOVABLE STORAGE link appears on my Desktop and it works like a flash disk will... I also have a problem when doing it through ActiveSync that when copying files FROM the phone to desktop or wherever, the files doesnt copy or appear on the PC... I've read on the net that you can find it in your PC's TEMP folder but I cant find it and this is not how it is suppose to work...
Any help would be apreciated
Thanks in advance.
search some more and you will find the following facts (which i am listing here because i am in a good mood, but you should still search because you will find more details that way):
1. a program (not free, i.e. commercial) called "card export" will allow you to do what you desire in terms of exposing your microsd card as removable storage when you connect to your PC via usb...see point 4 below also
2. another program called "wm5torage" MIGHT work depending on which version of wm5torage you try and which particular ROM you try it on. its a bit of a hit and miss affair, though. in my experience, wm5torage worked only ONCE, and i was using winmo6.0 back then...it has NEVER worked for me on winmo6.1 or winmo6.5 ROMs...see point 4 below also
3. newer devices from htc are able to do what you desire out-of-the-box. this is because these devices contain the necessary drivers to enable the functionality but, sadly, these drivers were never shipped with the kaiser and no one has (yet) found a way to hack the drivers of newer devices to work with the kaiser.
4. WHATEVER mechanism you try, it WILL BE SLOW. this is because the kaiser has a usb2.0 COMPLIANT interface. the "compliant" term essentially means that the device can WORK on a usb2.0 interface but not at full usb2.0 SPEED.
5. activesync will always work to PUT files on the kaiser. GETTING files FROM the kaiser is "buggy" with activesync. as a workaround to activesync, i use "schaps htc network plugin" on my kaiser. what this wonderful little piece of kit does is that it will allow you to map folders that point to one or more "network drives". if you set up a shared folder (with FULL ACCESS to "Everyone") on your desktop/laptop, you can use the network plugin to map a folder (usually under "\Network") and then you can freely read/write files using any file manager on your kaiser over WIFI as well as over activesync. so when i want to retrieve something from my kaiser, i establish an activesync or wifi connection and then i browse the shared folder from the kaiser and dump whatever i want on to the desktop/laptop's shared folder.
6. another alternative is to use the remote desktop application. this will let you access your desktop's/laptop's desktop remotely (over wifi as well as over activesync) from your kaiser. in the "Options" of the remote desktop application, you will find a setting under the "Resources" tab called "Device storage"...setting this option to "Map to the remote machine" will make your device's "\" folder (including the "\Storage Card" folder) available to your desktop/laptop in "My Computer". the catch is that you will have to use your desktop's/laptop's desktop on the tiny QVGA screen of your kaiser.
7. LUCKY SEVEN is the BEST OPTION in my opinion. simply buy a cheap microsd card reader and when you need to use your microsd card as a usb drive, simply pop out the card from the kaiser, slide it into the card reader, and you'll have a fully functional 8GB usb flash drive. desktop windows won't know the difference and the speed is phenomenal! as a benchmark, it takes about 10 minutes to copy about 200MB using activesync. the card reader will do the same operation in under a minute! it seems htc has designed the kaiser's microsd card slot to be "hot swappable" but i recommend closing all file browsers and any programs running from your microsd card or any programs accessing files/data from your microsd card before removing the card from the kaiser. also recommended is to turn off any and all power saving options set for your microsd card slot on your kaiser.
good luck!
Thank you very much good sir.

I second Card Export, i've tried so many different options for my Kaiser and it was the only program/option that was able to do this.
