Hi All,
I have an I-mate jasjar, This is the first time i tried installing applications to Storage Card (1GB), when ever i tried to install using Activesync 4.0, It doesnt ask me which folder to install i.e Like Default or Storage Card. And also If i click Add/Remove Programs in Activesync 4.0, I find that the checkbox "install program into the default installation folder" is checked and disabled. Hence I am unable to change it. Find the below image for the same.
Please can some one help me on this, on how to resolve the same.
Regards,
Francis.
Hi Francis,
1. Try inserting a bit smaller memory card (may be 512).
2. check if the momory card is not locked physically.
3. At the lowest, try to hard reset, but keep the memory card inside the i-mate while it install the windows. IMP: dont forget to backup important files before rebooting.
GoodLuck

First of all get Active Sync 4.1 from here...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync41.mspx
On WM5 devices like Universal and Wizard I think you choose the location on the device, so you just install to 'default folder' from activesync and when it gets to the phone instead of then going ahead and installing it gives you the choice, phone or storage card.
On 2003SE Windows Mobile, you did have to choose the location on your pc in active sync and when it went to your device it went where you sent it.
Hi,
Mine is a MMC Card, so i dont think it can be locked Physically, also i dont have a smaller card to check whether it works. May be i can try your last option, but i have lot of sms, which will be lost.
Regards,
Francis.
Thanks a lot
As mentioned, whenever I tried to install the application in the PPC it ask me where to install. Thanks a lot !!!
Regards,
Francis.
Did you find out how to load a program to an SD card in the Universal? I want to know too, please.
Whenever I install an application I see a message saying: "This is from a unknown developer, do you still want to install? Press YES or NO." This is the only message I see, no option to install it to the SD card.
Any suggestions please?
Can anyone confirm if cabinstl does anything on WM5?
Its dialog pops up, but then I get the normal WM5 dialog then asking for a destination a second time.
I think I may have confused cabinstl by adding the following registry keys:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer]
"fAskOptions"=dword:00000001
"fAskDest"=dword:00000001
which will force the Wm5 installer to ask for a destination. This may be useful to those who aren't getting this dialog by default.
However, I want my MTV. And cabinstl. Working. Properly.

i've do the reg hack, softreset but nothing succeded! any idea?
Dear all 818pro(ENG OS)
The reason causing memory card disappear problem is dopod built-in software.(inside Extension Rom)
Only one method to solve, hard reset the PDA but without installed any built-in software as follow:
Right now I hard-reset the PDA, until the password setup, and then the PDA begin install build-in software...soft reset immediately.
If you used above hard-reset method which don't installed any built-in software. You only lost:
1. Smart Dailer
2. Built-in Voice Commander
3. Autoconfig
4. clearvue pdf
I used two days and everything work fine. You may ask why I so sure? Because I noticed the speed of reading memory card is different before which listed below:
1. Before using above mentioned method: When the PDA turn on (In sleeping mode and phone on mode), it need 1-3 seconds to read the memory card. If you installed Today Plug-in Software, you may found that it need 1-3 seconds to detect the memory card.
2. After using above mentioned method: When the PDA turn on, the PDA detect the memory card simultaneously.
As a result, I can assure this method can solved the memory card disappear problem.
Some experience would like to share with all user:
1. I installed all programs in the ROM. If someone installed programs in the memory card, please let me know the result.
2. I can installed back the smart dialer software. Please search this forum to download.
3. When you connected GPRS, a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS is disappeared. You can make registry hack to switch back.
Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS
To add a Disconnect button:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)
To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 0 (DWORD decimal)
4. PDA can detect 'Phone Service Provider' automatically. However, when you need GPRS, you need manuel setup. I used 'PEOPLES' which is Hong Kong Service Provider and take as a Example setup:
Go to Setting > Connections > Tap Connections
1. Choose > My ISP - Add a new modem connection
2. You need to enter > a Name (Which name you like) and Select a modem [Cellular Line (GPRS)] > Next
3. Acess point name : Peoples.net > Next
4. Ignore the user name and password. > Finish
Thanks for the Reg Hack!!! Worked perfectly on the Dopod 818Pro!!!!
Thanks!!!

Hi sas90850,
What a good job you've done! Excellent!
I'm wondering whether this topic is the instruction you said (WM5 smart dial)
or you could point out where I can download the smart dialer software and have an installation instruction, thanks.
I've 818Pro and would like to do the same "UPGRADE"... :wink:
Dear all user
you can download the built-in smart dialer software as following link. Make sure you download the "SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB" only.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32458&highlight=smart+dialer
Copy the .cab file to PDA and install. Must soft reset. :wink:
If anyone installed software in the memory card, please post here whether the disappear problem is solved. :?:

Just to let everyone know that you already have this same file as well as the GPRS disconnect button CAB file in your own Dopod 818Pro's Extended_rom. You can browse and copy files in this hiden folder with GSfinder.
This worked for me also with the jamin. I soft reset after hard resetting and it gave me back rom and fixed the sd issue. Thanks
Edit: After soft resetting my device, the start menu once again doesn't show the correct icons for programs loaded on the sd card?? The programs will open and work but the icons are displayed?
Hi, this method seems to have solved most of my Jamin troubles too! Thanks!
I need just some help to get the GPRS timer: I don't find the registry. Is it in the HKEY_CURRENT USER OR THE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE? I found the Control Panel\Phone, but not the "Flags 2" registry that needs changing as described.
Many thanks!
Dear Fidipaldi
You need to add a new registry. Make sure you use DWORD Value. The location is shown below.
Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the Connection List for GPRS
1. To add a Disconnect button only:
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone
Add Name = 'Flags2' :arrow: DWORD Data = 8
2. To add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone
Add Name = 'Flags2' :arrow: DWORD Data = 16
3. To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone
Add Name = 'Flags2' :arrow: DWORD Data = 0
Dear mikewchandler
Question :After soft resetting my device, the start menu once again doesn't show the correct icons for programs loaded on the sd card?? The programs will open and work but the icons are displayed?
1. Copy the program *.exe file which installed in the SD Card.
2. Use File Explorer:
Go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs :arrow: Paste Shortcut
You will get the programs icon.
Dear SAS,
Many thanks for your help!!
It works great! I also managed to get the smart dialer back. The only application that is missing is Clearview.
So far my Jamin does not seem to crash on a regular basis as it did before. It must be the add on software that made the device crash.
Finally I can enjoy the device. Thanks again!
After 5 days. :lol:
Right now I installed a lot programs both in the ROM and SD Card and didn't find any disappear problem. :lol:
One more thing, I also found that the auto soft-reset seems gone too.
I will keep posting here and let you know the result. :wink:

Here's what I usually do on a new device or after a hard reset. I have about 10 progs on my sd card (total commander, tweaks2k2, etc...) and I have created shortcuts to them and placed them in a folder on my sd card. I then copy those and paste them in the /windows/start menu/programs folder and everything works well. I've noticed this quirky behavior on the jamin so far?
I did what you recommended by not installing the ext rom. I'm happy with a quicker device and more rom; however, I'm still having this little issue with the icons not appearing correctly in the start menu? Kind of strange. The white and blue default box is what's showing up (as if there is no shortcut icon) but the progs open just fine? :shock:
which program should we install
After Hard Reset and Review the extended rom,
There are serveral progarms avaliable for install
I just wonder what program from Extended Rom should we normally install in order to make phone become functional as the standard automatic install of extended rom?
Secondly, what each one of them is for? does anybody has information?
Thank you very much

The SD card problem seems disappear but it still soft resets itself after standby and battery charging for a while.

After 6 days used, I don't have any soft reset problem at all no matter in standby mode, sleeping mode and/or battery charging either the PDA is turn on/off......any condition.:roll:
re: Mike Chandler
Try this....
goto settings, menu and unclick just one of the programs in question. select ok and then checkout the start menu. Should be well again. Then go back and reselect your menu button you unclicked earlier. All is well. I'm not sure if this is a permanent solution or not but it does work.

Thanks Yes it worked temporarily and then after a soft reset...same. I've narrowed it down a bit. The progs show fine in the bottom of the start menu (recently run progs) but if I add them to the top part of the start menu, they show fine until a soft reset....then they don't again. What I also noticed is if I copy the .exe and paste it in the start menu it shows fine....the only problem was when I copied the .exe and pasted a shortcut to the .exe. Anyway, I've settled on a fix. A few of the progs that didn't display correctly, I've just added to ilauncher.
Don't spend any more brain power on it for now....it must be something specific to me as others aren't posting problems like this. Thanks again
@mikewchandler
First of all it's nice to see you again on this forum!
To fix your problem try installing Signed_IconsDll.sa.cab from the extended rom. This should fix your problem!
@ALL
Regarding the SD card issue, the problem seems to be originating from the file Signed_SD_Driver.sa.cab. Not installing just this cab will also solve the problem.
I would suggest installing the following cabs as well as these improve system stability or add functionality:
CAB-ConnectionSpeedMax.sa
CAB-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-CV-Dopod........
CAB-WapPushSMS
Signed_Disable_ErrorReport.sa
Signed_DisconnectButton_3s.sa
Signed_IconsDLL.sa
Signed_PIE_View_Default.sa
Signed_Prophet_DopodAsia_UA.sa
Signed_Version.sa
SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed
Thanks kta....it's great being here but I'm going to miss the eten community. :?
Thanks for the tips. Yeah, I didn't install the ext rom at all....I should have mentioned that (if I didn't?). Thanks again.
Edit: Where's the best place to get the files off the ext rom? I don't guess I know how to extract the ext rom to copy before hard resetting, soft resetting to keep it from installing. Hope that runon sentence makes sense.? :roll:
hello ppl.
i have ripped the above two applications from the o2 active ui suite and converted them to a stand alone cab....which can be installed even on the sd card....
about the applications......
powerprofile lets you manage your power consumption by switching on/off radio/wifi/irda/bt and altering screen brigtness and sound.....supports scheduled profiles
taskmanager is a manager which lets you see your running applications and quickly switch between them and also turn them off....in addition it can show you the running services at that time....
known bugs.....
1)during installation you get a msg that connection setting is not found....and the installation coplete screen is not shown
solu...after about half a min of this msg soft reset your device...
2)prog can not be uninstalled....when uninstaller is run it gives an error that program cannot be completely removed and offers you to remove it from the list
solu....accept to remove the prog from the list and manually remove the prog dir from the windows folder in the drive you chose to install it.
Wicked!!!!
I was going to flash my MDA Pro with O2 ROM to get these out today
Thanks for saving me the time
Hi thanks for these. Can you post a screenshot please? Can I install these to my SD Card?
re
thanks...for a moment i thought i was the only one who needed this...
sorry but no screeny
Hi,
On 1st Jan i had to do a hard-reset of the device. Since then, regardless of the applications i've installed... my Xperia has been working with remarkable performance! But Alas! today after i was testing out new software, i ran into a new problem.
Though the performance of the device hasn't lagged, but whenever i do a soft reset, i get an error saying 'a problem has occurred with services.exe'.
Any ideas? It seems to me that it is starting something that doesn't exist anymore? Is there a startup manager app that i could use or something like that?
Best Regards.
Salman Khalid.
Oh never mind... i found that SKTools has a startup app manager, but that didn't help. I also checked missing links in registry and stuff, but still no luck... so i ended up hard resetting the phone. (true that the error came only once when you soft-reset the phone and that the phone's performance was not at all degraded, but it was annoying me crazy! )
What is the piece of software you have intalled that prior to the error ?
I think Services.exe is a system file, if that is missing or damaged you may have to do another hard reset, aslong as youve saved everything to your Pc or memory card, its ok.
One thing you have to watch with a hard reset is the system files left on the memory card from your prev install, using file explorer, click menu, show all files, and look for any folder on the memory card called things like cache, programs, MSMETADATA, WMDRM, etc, basicall anything you have not specifically copied there manually.
If you dont delete these files windows will boot up and get confused and try to follow settings you had for your last install.

I installed over 10 different apps in under 10 minutes and it coule have been any one of them. Services.exe was neither corrupted nor missing, as that would have resulted in continuous errors, but like i said; the error came up only once once i rebooted.
Anyhow... i've already hard-reset the device after being unable to figure out what caused the error. As for the MicroSD card... i did a full format of the card as i can easily copy all the stuff back in from my laptop again as needed...
Thanks!
Yesterday my phone locked me out, after charging it wouldn't accept my password & I had to do a hard reset.
Most of my utils/progs etc were installed to my memory card & I can use file manager to locate them & run them by running the exe file.
Is there any way of getting them onto the main screen without having to delete & then reinstall them - it looks like it's just the program shortcuts which haved been deleted.
Is it possibe to make new shortcuts & place them on the 'start' screen?
I read in a similar post that pocket mechanic might do something like this - would it, or is there another way?
Thanks.

future tip:
get spb backup application, and back everything up every week or so.
Nice one, thanks for the help both of you.
Search the net for a free program called shortcutcreator i think i got it from one of the pocket pc freeware sites. It does what your looking for scans your card for applications then creates shortcuts in your program folder.
