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.

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..
Does this have to be installed on the kaiser memory or SD Card.
On my Wizard I installed it on my SD Card no problems, but on my Kaiser it installs fine, but when I click to run, nothing happens ???
Mine works fine from SD Card. If you're having problems try using Resco, TC, etc. to look at the shortcut properties. Make sure the .lnk is pointing to the right place.
I run "Live" from the SD and it works fine. Unlike Google, which gives you the option of installing to the SD...and then installs to the internal memory anyway.
Strange
For now i can only install it onto main memory, checked links, etc...

What version are you using? Here is a link to the latest original desktop .exe straight from MS. 10.6.0030.2100:
http://rapidshare.com/files/77537208/WLM_v10.6.0030.2100.rar
This one has not been hacked & includes the contact sync fix from MS. Try it.
To install run from desktop. This .exe includes several versions & will select the correct one for your device.
Thanks Gsleon3
This release installs fine and seems to be actually regularly pushing my email (so far)
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.

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

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?
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.

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?

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...
