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...

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,
When I install something onto my Vario from my PC it automatically installs in the default location.
On my other PDA I get the choice, how come I don't with my Vario, and how can I install something to my mini SD?
Thanks all,
Thought I had sorted it, but no.
Any ideas, I want to install TomTom but don't have enough room.

Does the Vario use WM 2003? If so that is why everything from a PC install goes to main memory. Do a search, there is a cab installer program somewhere that you can put on your Vario that will allow you to select where you want to install.

Naa it uses WM5, my Axim uses WM2003SE and that asks.
Will do a search for the cab thanks.
Well the thing is, tomtom HAS to be installed to the device i guess. I always install tomtom naviagator 6.02 (with the todayscreen plugin). It comes up with where I wish to install it, sd card or the device. Of course i select the sd card, but nevertheless it installs in the device. I've tested it with several roms, and also with the WM6 rom. Problem is still there, so i guess it's not a bug but a feature, haha.

you can move the executables to the SD card and it will work... just move the navigator directory from program files to sd program files, make a link to it, and everything works... as for TT5 and TT6, have both installed on SD card. And also you can remove those TTODAY files from root dir if not using the TT today screen, and also all the files for contact navigation if you dont use that. At the end only the executable dir has to be somewhere.

well yesterday , i came to realize that all my files on the sd card is all gone...then i got a call from my gurl friend( she has a wing too..) and her file are all gone also...wut's goin on ? we both have the pdaviet rom installed....all my musics, cabs, pics, vids.....they are all gone.....can someone help out?
i even try reading the sd card on my laptop and nope...nothing on it....could it be the pdaviet rom's problem?
It probably got corrupted... sometimes if you run programs directly from the card, it can do that...
You can try to use a partition/data recovery program with a memory card reader to try to retrieve the data.
sometimes also if you use a program like SKtools or Memaid or Pocket Mechanic and such and you try to optimize the memory, it wipes out your micro SD card. I've had it happen twice now.
I stopped using those programs.
They do some other functions well.
just like ivanmmj said, Use a Data Recovery program wich you can download from the web. it'll recover mostly like 99% of your files. I use File Scavenger 3.2. It works great.
But you need a License key to get it fully working. i'll send it to you. just use mine.
are they all gone for real.. or did windows create a Storage Card 2 file?
if they are gone.. that is very sad. i feel for you. :-(
I've had this .cab kicking around but never tried it till today. Seems to work great on my Wing. Not quite sure everything it backs up. It only works when installed to the phone -- won't work if you install it to the Storage Card.
It creates a file on your Storage Card used to backup your phone.
My guess is, that you could create the backup image file and then remove/uninstall the program to save space and then if you ever needed it, you could reinstall the program and just run the backup file. Or just leave the program on your phone.
Anyway, I don't know if anyone wants it but here it is.
Cheers!
This is neat to have. My question is, does this backup my profiles in the programs (like games) installed so next time I install/backup the program it will be restored? I'm thinking about flashing to new ROM...
Thanks.
no
you have to copy that stuff from either the app data folder or your program's folder usually
i been using this since i got my wing. this back-up every single thing from reg to program data..
ok guess i was wrong then

Awesome, thanks man!
I just saved this to my storage card and installed it on the storage card, is this correct? Should I save it to the phone memory and then back up to memory card?

I believe the answer you was seeking was in the first post. . . .
The PPCGeeks forum shows some users experiencing major issues with this software - beware .. ! Hard resets necessitated etc,,,
I have a weird problem with HTC Data Backup... I first installed it on the SD card because on the page I downloaded it from it didn't say you have to install it on the device, later I saw some people mention it in the comments... I've uninstall it and installed it again on the device, but I can't find it anywhere - it's not in the Programs, or Program Files, although I see it in Add/Remove applications... How do I start the program?
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.
