Hi folks,
I was wondering if there is anyway to get the the XDA to automatically run a program (stored on SD card, or any internal non volatile file store) after a cold boot has been performed.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

auto run after cold boot
if you edit the config.txt file stored in extended rom ( you will need to unlock the extended rom first) then you can add a line that will execute a program. I store mine in storage and then call it from config to load and run my program after a hard reset.

Install Tweaks2k.NET on your handheld,
(1) You can move some .dlls automatically from \windows to your Storage or SD card. However, you don't get to choose which dll to move. Program analyses and does it all for you. There is an UNDO button.
- best to do this when you install one program at a time so you can test and UNDO one step at a time.
Use Resco Explorer for ease of use (make sure that 'Hide hidden files including the ones in ROM' option is selected)
The folder of interest is the \windows
(2) You can move help files to your SD card
.htm files
(3) You can move .unload files (for uninstallation) to your SD card
- but remember that when you want to uninstall an application
eg. MortPlayer, you need to copy back the file MortPlayer.unload to
\windows to uninstall it
(4) You can move \windows\appmgr files .dll to your SD card
- if you want to uninstall or reinstall an app, remember to move that
specific app .dll file back to \appmgr
Install Valksoft Space Reclaimer
(5) set it to run at every soft reset. It will autoclean your temp folders, ie folders, old files and registry during startup.
I managed to free up at least 5MB using those steps. My RAM is pretty much trimmed although I was a bit peeved when the MMS software took up 3MB of RAM (I tried to install on the SD card, but the files need to be installed in RAM).
ActiveSync first (or a .cab for that matter) first copies the files to the MAIN MEMORY STORAGE temp directory and only then, you are asked when would you like the program to be installed.
Since I have just about 9mb of free storage ram on my main memory, I am unable to install 20mb of so programs even if I want to install them on my SD card. Because the WM2005 installed always first copies to a temp dir on the main memory. that's stupid. How can I install large programs to my SD card if I don't have much room on my main memory then?
Help please.
Thanks

look for the cab file first, manually copy it directly to your SD card and run it from that location using explorer.
try reducing your temporary RAM by disabling all of your today plugins and windows startup folder, run your program, then set them back again.
how is it you are running on 9mb, i reset my device when it gets down to 15mb, and usually starts up with 25mb with SPB PP SPB Diary SPB weather and MS Voice Command all running at startup, so how is yours so low?
ACtivesync copy the cab file to SD if your memory is low. I installed many big (20 Mb) programs using it. The normal behaviour is to copy the file without question, then ask on the pocket where you want to install it. When you are low on memory, it ask me on the PC (as it was on previous WM2003 models) where to install, then it copies the file to SD. It usually fail to install, but you can then soft reset and run the cab from the SD.
Hi all,
I want to know how to access the Extended Rom on my Magician. I tried installing Total Commander and going to "Extended_Rom" but it didn't work. I accessed it once when I hard reseted my phone and it was plugged in the USB cradle. I need to access the Extended Tom so I can make a copy of all pre-installed application setups.
Please Help.
The trick is after a hard reset, imediately do a soft reset immediately after the last screen alignment step. In this way the ext rom files are not installed and are viewable and can be copied to another partition of your device or to your pc via active sync. this procedure doesnt totally unlock the ext rom, thus you cannot delete and/or copy files from/to the ext rom partition.
In your windows directory find the exe - loadvdisk
run it
this will 'show' your extrom
Does it really not work
Some people had written, it should work to edit the extended_rom.
But all I found don't work on the magician. There are many unlocking tools for the extended rom.
The only way seems to be the big rom, where the memory of the extended rom is added to the storage folder. But with that method you will lose the contents of the extended rom.
OK, it is possible to save it on a sd card, but i am searching for a edit-solution, so not to delete the contents but ossible to use the free 5 mb in this folder.
I hope that sometimes anyone will find a simple solution not to hard reset the magician.
Recently, I had installed Tweaks2K2 and after doing some changes regarding date and time display in Today title bar, I uninstalled it. The main reason behind uninstallation being after every change the device had to be reset (which is quiet obvious as it involved a change in registry settings). However, now, whenever my device is restarted, either through a soft-reset or by simply powering it OFF and switching it ON, I have observed that a new folder called "Storage Card" is created containing a sub-directory called "Inbox". And when the SD Card is inserted, the device recognizes the card as "Storgae Card2". Since most of my apps are installed in Storage Card, they don't work as their links point to their respective installed folders in \Storage Card\ which in this case becomes a dummy.
The only workaround I have found so far is that, after every re-start, I remove the SD Card, delete the folder "Storage Card" from File Explorer and then insert my SD Card again. The SD Card is then displayed as "Storgae Card" in File Explorer and then everything works fine and as expected. I want to know the reason behind this issue and how to rectify it. Any help would be highly appreciated.
I have configured the Sprite Backup to store the backup files created on Storage Card. I fear that with this situation, Sprite may not be able to create a backup file and thus will hamper the functionality of the software (though I can re-configure the options for Sprite to store the backup file in device memory and later move it to the storage card after doing the above work around)
My device details are as below -
ROM : 1.7.455.2 WWE
Radio : 02.79.90
Protocol : 4.1.13.34
ExtROM : 1.7.455.102
@anyone:
My friend's HD2 starts loading, it shows the desktop then its just hourglass...
Stock 3.14 EU ROM.
I can easily hard reset, but he asked me to somehow save/recover his personal data (addresses, contacts, etc).
So I have not hard reset his phone just yet hoping that one of you guys can help me...
What can be done?
Thanks in advance!
If You have mortsript installed, I presume you can do various things with it together with having an autorun folder on sd card called 2577, like copy pim.vol file to sd card etc. Just an idea.
Addition - You can register .mscr files with the autorun trick and run Your .mscr to copy pim.vol to SD then. Basically that should be it, after hard reset You can just replace the pim.vol again. Haven't tested it tho, but in theory should work.
