Unlike the last few times I flashed, this tie I had purchased a memory card and installed some programs to it. So I flashed a new ROM, but now the programs are not showing up on the device. They are all games. so I would liek them in the Games folder. How do I create shortcuts or whatever so that the phone knows they are on the memory card.
Shortcuts
Copy.... Paste as Shortcut...

Paste to where? I tried going to programs but it won;t let me paste so I tried pasting in TC to the program folder in the main memory but no joy.
Make a shortcut for your game then move the shortcut to your Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\ folder.

Some programs won't work specially if you installed them in your Storage Card then re-flashed a new rom because your Main Memory was reset, please repeat the installion of the games because some games would dump required files to the Phone Memory to run the game..
Some games wouldn't work but some would..try what bjevers suggested..

Hi all,
sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't not find an answer anywhere.
Is it possible to force the TomTom Taster which comes on my Vodafone v1615 app CD to install to my microSD HC card?
At the moment it only installs to the device itself and the option "Install program into the default installation folder" in Activesync is greyed out (as it is with all apps found in the Add/Remove Programs screen when connected to the v1615).
I've installed TomTom Home but cannot see a way to move the installation folder or my one free map download to the microSD card.
Thanks for any help forthcoming

Its actually nothing worse than copying the TomTom installation folder to your storage card. At least thats what I did. Havent reinstalled TomTom in like 10 ROM-flashs/hard resets, I just make a new shortcut with each flash/reset.
i use tomtom and installed successfully to the tilt main phone storage w/no problems. the application isn't that big, only the map data which is on the sdhc card
check with tomtom support!

M4cr0s, thats exactly what I'm trying to achieve and have done with my previous iPAQ. So it is just a case of copying the installation folder over? This wont corrupt any installation files or reg pointers?
Macca
There are probably some reg pointers, but it since it works fine here they are either not necessary or the application will automatically create them if their not there. (actually surprisingly many applications works fine installed to storage card and just made shortcut to upon a new flash/hardreset)
To test, just copy the TomTom folder (program files/navigator I think the default path is for the kaisers bundled version) to your storage card, rename the original TomTom folder to something else and try run it from the storage card. If it works, you're pretty much set I'd say.

hey everyone. i have been enjoying hacking into my tilt. but now i'm extremely low on space{9.7MB}!!! i have been installing the programs on my SDcard but they still seem to be operating on the phones memory. how do i get programs to run solely off the card??? right now {besides the standard programs} i have tommtom6, htcalbum, skype, and opera mobile.
Do you use pie? (pocket internet explorer) for the internet? try deleting your cookies and temporary files from there.

no i use opera mobile. but i delete the cookies and it only freed about 1.2MB. but i need to free somereal space.
What rom are you using? Is it a cooked rom or a factory rom. I still have half memory left on my device and sd card and I install a lot of sh1t.
Where are your TomTom maps installed?

they're on the SDcard
ROM solution
I had a similar problem. The way I solved it was to back everything from the device memory up (apart from the system files) using a backup application like SPB backup and then flash a new and efficient ROM (something like Dutty's 6.1hybrid v.2).
As far as I remember there is an app called TreeSize which can show you in tree-view folders and files that are the biggest and eat your memory space. It can help you with deleting files.
If you take a lot of pictures with your phone, I've found I can only save them to the phone. I have to move them over to the sd card via Total Commander. Might check your pix folder...
NOTE: I FIXED MY PROBLEM MYSELF. I kept the thread in case anyone else has this problem, you might know the fix....explained under the quote (quote = original post)
Out of nowhere my kaiser errors now on startup (with startup apps or if I manually try to open them from programs folder) saying it cannot open any of the programs located on the memory card (says "either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found"). My ringtones on the card won't play and the error states they may be corrupt or unavailable.
So basically, all of the files are there...the phone "lists" them in file explorer....it just wont open anything (including when I click on files in file explorer....it doesnt do anything...just highlights them). It will open programs and files off the device's main storage just fine.
I have removed the card and placed it in a reader, and the card is just fine....all files open perfectly.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have never damaged the phone or got it wet or anything.
It made me late to work because the alarm (appointment in calender) didn't go off (error'd on playing the tone). I really need to get this fix.
Thanks a million in advance!

What had happened is that I have inbox tmp files or something pointed to save on the memory card....but at some point yesterday the memory card was ejected slightly in the port (so the phone counldnt save to it) and I must have received a message or something because it saved to that directory. Since the card was not there, it created a folder named "Storage Card"...thus when I found my card ejected, and clicked it back in yesterday, it named the card Storage Card 2....since a directory already had the orig name. Thus....since all programs and ringtones and such look at "Storage Card" .....all heck broke loose. I deleted the folder and re-inserted the card and did a soft restart...and everything was back to normal.
Thank you for your post.. I jsut had the EXACT same problem... and deleting "Storage card" folder and soft reset fixed mine as well.. whew...!1! Thansk for saving my tail!
I have several cab file programs (PDS Status Full, HHC v10 Final, Google Maps and Youtubeplay), that are stored in the "My Documents" folder . Can I move them to the storage card and still run the apps. from there in order to free up memory on the device?
The CABs are installation files. Once you've opened them and installed them you can do whatever you want with them, move, delete, whatever. They're not needed anymore.
What kilrah said.
I just keep them in a dedicated folder on my storage card so I can easily reinstall the programs if required.

Ditto. I've reflashed my Hermes about 10 or so times and I'm pretty sure I'll do the same with the Kaiser. It's very convienient to have the installation files on the Storage card.
GREAT, thanks...
just upgraded from an 8525 to a Tilt in the last month and still learning. Found this site and have downloaded several programs mentioned here.
I'm a bit out of space on my Diamond with only 14. Mb of memory on the Main memory so i got tired of receiving Low memory notifications every 30 seconds whenever i browsed the internet ,so i went and looked what can be deleted and found under :My Device/Windows- a Tom Tom navigation install file 11.mb in size which must have been there since i got the phone .........which obviously i can't delete .
So my Question to you is what program should i use to delete that file and others (like PvP Player.exe which is useless....).
Move Tomtom.
You should be able to run tomtom from storage. I copied to storage and run from there.
Shouldn't need to use the main memory storage for tomtom..
Can't do that ,either the file is only copy/beam /send and it's stored as i said above . I can't cut it .
I WANT TO DELETE IT. please tell me a way/ or a program that can delete files from the Windows directory.
most files in windows dir are not located in storage but in the rom itself and can only be removed by cooking a custom rom but mind you storage space and rom space don't share MB's so freeing rom MBs don't add MBs to storage
