Cabs in the storage card question - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

Hi im a noob so I apologize if this is a dumb question. Im runnin Maniila2D and when i get a cab, I drag from my desktop into my storage card folder on my phone and then open it using my phone. Then it asks me if I wanna save it on my device or storage and I always use storage. My question is after I install it, can I delete the actual folder that I dragged into the storage folder or will that affect the app?
Another question on a different subject. I could have sworn I saw this somewhere in here but Ive spent the last 4 hours looking for it. I want to customize the sound my Kaiser makes when I slide it open and slide it close. I want to use an MP3 soundbite instead. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

If you remove the original cab file it is installed the app won't be affected.
I had an mp3 soundbite as my sliding sound and it started to annoy me so I took it off. I don't remember how I did it but I remember finding the solution by searching. so keep at it!!

You can delete the .cab file itself after installation. Somewhere in settings it has the option to do that automatically. I forget where offhand. I always save mine to a folder on my storage card with all my cabs. In case I need to install it again, or I change roms.
The sliding sounds are small .wav files stored in your ?windows folder. This will tell you how to do it , just put your own .wav files in instead of " transformers" .......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356400&highlight=sliding+sounds

Thanx a bunch guys!

Onenote Mobile - where do the notes live?

I just flashed my Kaiser to Dutty and as a result it's wiped my Onenote Mobile notes (no great surprise there).
Before I flashed, I took a Sprite Backup. Does anyone know where the actual "notes" live? Is in a directory or registry entry somewhere? I'd like to restore them if possible. I have searched XDA Devs, but there's nothing I can see explaining this.
Thanks in advance...
\Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote Mobile.
I've been looking for a way to move them to another folder but I cannot find it.
Ta,
Dave
Thank You!
Thanks very much for this solution. I copied from the backup and I can see all my notes again.
You just saved me a lot of frustration
I love this forum. Every time I have some obscure question, someone has already asked it and, usually, someone else has answered it perfectly!
Thank you!
amazing
Amazing, I was asking myself this same question this afternoon on the way to school. You guys are amazing!
Thank you! Been flashing new ROMs and needed to back up my notes... this forum rocks!

But how to make OneNote store to SD?
Haven't figured that out yet either...still working
I think it's Pocket Mechanic that has the option to move applications to run from storage card...I've successfully moved most everything I've tried with it. Has anyone tried 'moving' folder to storage card with this app? I'm not sure how it works...if it leaves a shortcut behind pointing to new location on card maybe? I use OneNote for work, and can't afford to screw it up and have down time trying to fix, so wondering if anyone has tried that route yet?
UPDATE: Tried above method, and it did not work. Has anyone else found a feasible way to do this yet? With it storing audio recordings in .wav format, it's basically not usable without being able to store to storage card. I run out of memory in less than one minute.
The frustration continues
Hi everybody,
I have been grappling with this damned issue with OneNote 2007 on my HD2 forever. It’d be nice if some of the top dogs here at the XDA took a minute or two out of their busy schedules to fix us up with a way to force OneNote to SD card. I mean come on people, don’t you leave us at the mercy of windows unpredictable array of hangs, crashes and total system annihilations, give us a way out.
I have personally wormed around the registry and found a way for that whole attachment thing JVolger. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>OneNote Mobile>12.0.
Once there edit the attachments String value with your favorite registry editor and change the string entry with the address of the folder where you like one note to save your attachments.
Now if someone could figure out a way to force one note to save to the SD entirely, I would be one happy man!!

I wanna throw my TyTn II against the wall.

This is driving me up the wall...
I'm going nuts.
I can't figure out how to change my text message tone...
some how I have a few full songs in option box...
But I can't figure out how to use that isn't in there...
I downloaded a tone I want to use.
And it's just taking up room on my phone!
So will someone please help me out with this problem??

try saving it as .wav on your \windows dir
Umm...look above....lol... gues i was too wordy....
Thought I'd take a chance with this one. First what format is the media type you are working with. I have found under sounds and notifications -- >Start >Settings > Sounds and Notifications is where you have the granularity to make some choices. First you have to make sure a .wav format of the file exists in the correct Windows folder of your mobile OS to be able to use the file (*hint locate the names of the default sounds listed in the S&N dropdown list*). Took me about a week to realize that i was bound by M$ file types (.wav). If you need to convert a file from one format to another there are an assundry of apps to look at, but i recommend a look at audacity (only for quick learning curve and open source app).
Hope this provides some insight. As I am using a rom i found on this forum i don't remember the default path for a Kaiser or AT&T tilt anymore. Locating the file browser via activesync should provide more help in locating where the file should reside.
Don't toss the phone or if you want to sling it my way, wy wife could use the device (best I have had to date IMHO).
Cheers and good luck.
For the record, WAV and MIDI files will only work if they are in the \windows\ directory in the root of your device. This confused me when I first got my Tilt because my Wizard would see them in \My Documents\ on my SD card.
Not sure about wavs or midis, but it will use MP3s off of the storage card.
I'm using L26 v5 ROM and the MP3s in the Mp3 directory on my SD card root all show up under selectable ring tones.
Yeah as ringtones. But not text message tones, correct?
@Renegade503 we welcome your eagerness to learn about your device. But your flooding our board with n00bish questions, and repeatedly posting about stuff you can find in the manual sooo
RTFM ...
Just in case you dont understand what that means, and so you dont make another post asking what it means, i will just tell you..
Read The F**king Manual
Please Please Please do some reading on this site and on others, you might want to start with howardforums.com so that you may get a better grip on just what kind of phone you have.

i'm not a mod but maybe combine his threads into one?

Ringtone/Notification & Sounds Questions

The G1 has a silence mode, but it unfortunately only silences ringers and notifications. If I want to play a game of Solitaire I am blasted in the face with stupidly loud music. Is there a system-wide switch to just disable ALL sound through the built in speaker?
Go to setting -> sounds & display -> media volume bring then it all the was down you should be able to map a. Shortcut to this with anycut.
Hope this helps
Ringtone/Notification Questions
Is there any way to put your own ringtones on the phone through a storage card like on the wing or other windows mobile phones, I just got the phone and am playing with it right now ad so far don't see no way to do this. If there's a way can someone please help.
I added 2 tones from my wing to the memory card from the G1. Placed them on the root of the card and then installed from the market "Rings Extended". Then selected them.
download the rings extended app. that will let you do what you want.
google market: rings extended
+1 rings extended.
I had a stale page load and the two previous posters beat me to it!
-- edit --
also, fwiw, with 'rings extended' I found that the media listing was recursive as I had an entire directory structure from my wm6 phone. So, you can still have categorized directory structures if you like.
if you use the correct folder structure there will be no problems setting up the ringtones

there's a thread with that in it, I don't remember where.
If someone finds the thread for the correct folder structure please let me know, and neiltoe idk how to put it in the root folder market extended, I'm coming from a wing and I had a 2gb storage card for the wing so I took the card out my wing and put it in the g1 it sound like the way u do it neiltoe u have to keep the 1gb storage card.
hopefully this link works:

Alternatively you can just go to the music player, choose a song and press " use as ringtone".
First off, what helped me the most- connect the phone to a pc and enable the usb on the g1. When it pops up (it will look like a mass storage device on the pc) format it and then create these folders at the root of the storage card:
music
ringtones
alerts
notifications
Anything inside music will show up on the music player. Anything outside should not show up anywhere but where it is placed. If you do not format the card first, this will not be the case at least in my experience. Formatting seems to make it all work right.
The folder structure is taken from the tmobile website online instruction manual- cant remember the page

While true, it also means you may have a bunch of ringtones and alerts mixed in with your music, something I dont like
for the record:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringones
etc
works as well, as does
/sdcard/media/video
for video files.
good to know about the alternative folder layouts
what are you using to play video files? I grabbed the "video player" on the market but curious to know what others are using.
Thanks a lot guys, you were very helpful.

put stuff into the folders. uncheck the USB box on the phone (you lose the PC connection at that point). Now your phone can find stuff.

having trouble
ok so i need some help xda-ers!!!
i had the wing. i took my 2GB card and put it in the g1. i connected it to my pc running xp and changed the names of my folders to what was recommended. maybe i should have made new folders altogether is the issue? i can try that. anyway... it's not working... i go into settings to set ringtones and i cant set anything except the stock ones.
is the issue that i didnt make brand new folders and just changes the names?
or do i need to take everything off the card, reformat it, and start fresh?
thnx!

in my experience, this is exactly what you need to do. Format it on the pc while its in the phone using the data cable.

Hope right area, how do I install CAB to phone

Well, just when i think I have things figured out. If a cab is right for my phone, how do I get it onto the phone. Can I do it by the USB hooking it up to my Desktop and then copy and paste into the phone from the desktop? How do I then look at the phone and see if that cab is really there and launch it??
I have a file that tells me it's a CAB file to launch the BTAG that activates the Bluetooth settings and Voice Mail 1.6. It is from a cooked ROM and I only want this one CAB....
Thanks

Just put the .cab in intern memory or your storage card. Launch it (by clicking on it) via File Explorer.

hmm, the question is ok but not as a new thread, not in dev; how about general - newbies questions?
I really do hope that you don't make it a habit of yours starting new threads for every single question you have, urgent or not
thx for helping him
to finalize: use disk drive mode to get it to your phone via usb (activesync might lead to data conversion), you are able to select the target folder, disconnect, open a file explorer, navigate to your dir containing the cab and click/double click it for installation
depending on the cab it will either be installed (to device mem) or you will be asked where to install it (device mem or sd)
done and best

[Q] Need help with some Basic customisation. Please Please

Hi there. I have had my Nexus One for a week now, and so far im finding it ok - I havent really used it much though. Anyway, I have a few basic questions which are really confusing me, but I know could be simply answered by all you Pro's
Anyway, here is what I want to be able to do. What I want to do is be able to make/select my own Icons to open up applications or folders..
1: Have an Icon/picture of a game controller (or something which symbolises gaming) Then when you click on the Icon it opens a folder full of my games.
2: Have an Icon of something which symbolises Pictures. When you click on the Icon it will open up my gallery.
I Currently have Desktop Visualizer. I know with that you can select a picture and then select what you want to open with that. But I dont know how to make it so that it opens a folder when clicking not an application??
Do I need a different application? Also, Do I download the pictures/Icons on my PC then put them over to my SD Card, or just get them straight on my phone?
Last question, If I want to combine two images (Lets say for example two different types of controllers) into the one image, What software on my pc/application on my phone would I need?
Sorry if that doesnt make sense, its as english as I can make it. All help is greatly appreciated
Get Bettercut or FolderOrganizer. Look for them in the market. They will allow you to customize your app's icons and shortcuts. You should read up on how to use it, it's pretty simple so I'm not going to write it here.
The best way is to download and install "icon Packs" apk's (there are so many on here and on the markets, BIG THANKS TO THE MANY CREATIVE PEOPLE OUT THERE.). It works very well with the above apps.
to download pictures/icons on your pc to the sdcard:
1. download ASTRO file manager (free)
2. connect your phone to pc via usb, then turn on connection (make sure you have usb debugging turned on)
3. once you are connected, then your sd card becomes a "removable storage drive" and you can just copy & paste any files from your pc to the card like you would if you had an external drive.
I don't know if you want to use your phone to combine images or pictures. it will be pretty hard with the controls. i would say do it on your pc and then just transfer it over to the phone.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. Using Folder Organiser now and is exactly what I wanted. Thanks heaps for everything
