Is there any order when the apps are started in the autostart folder?
I ask this because i want to start an overclocking tool before all other apps. Furthermore i want to have some apps (e.g. one program for Navi) be started automatically after start - but is it possible to delay the apps for some amount of time since a lot of apps wants to start (e.g. the phone). Is it possible to control this behaviour?
You can use MemMaid for this

The order of programs launched from \windows\startup folder is unspecified. If you need to exactly specify the order, you'll need to launch a program throught adding it to HKLM\Init registry key. More info can be found on MSDN.

Somehow I have removed all the shortcuts from my programs folder, i.e. they no longer show up when i press start, all i get is
Today
Programs
Settings
If I go into programs all i see is the games folder
I can still run the programs from their defualt folders.
Anyone know a quick way to reinstall all these shortcutS or am I going to have to do them all manually ?
Not sure i even know what files types (shortcuts) or where they should be.
I am assuming they should be in /windows/programs as it is nothing there ?
Help

re
OK sorry for wasting yer time, admins remove or delete as you feel fit.
For the record though, not that anyone is likely to ever do this but....
This is how I believe I caused the problem
It started when I was trying to load an irc app on my phone.
I needed to put the app in /windows/startmenu and run from there
I copied across from my desktop
Using resco explorer I went into /windows/startmenu but it wasn't there.
So foolishly i started playing around and somehow in properties decided to untick/tick the hidden box for attributes
The result was that all files in /start menu/program folder were hidden
So by changing it back (somehow!!) through the properties, attributes, it's now all back.
So if your still reading this (fools) sorry, user error on a big scale.

I always have problems with WM5 memory management, which led me to experiment more on some free apps out there. This is a personal trick I just recently learned from all the AKU 3 versions that are coming out that I have been trying out and would like to share with everyone.
I will attach OXIOS Memory CAB file below my post, you need both Oxios Hibernate and Oxios Close Apps for this trick to work.
This is the theory for the increase of memory: basically what I wanted to happen is to only have 1 application running in the background no matter what. Thus, opening another app automatically closes the other app, even just pressing the OK button. Just like what a Palm device does with regards to application handling.
One draw back though, you are eliminating the ability of the WM5 device to run multiple applications at the same time.
OK enough of the explanations, here is what you have to do:
1st: Download the copy of OXIOS apps I provided.
2nd: Run the CAB file to install.
3rd: Go to Windows>Start Menu>Programs>Accessories.
4th: Copy the shortcuts for both Oxios Close Apps and Oxios Hibernate.
5th: Go to Windows>Start Up.
6th: Paste both Oxios Close Apps and Oxios Hibernate.
7th: Perform a soft reset.
Basically this would make WM5 behave like a palm device. You can now only open one application at one time, thus ensuring you have enough memory for your current application to run.
You don't even need to close any app anymore manually, since it is done automatically for you now.
There are some exceptions to this however and they are:
1: Contacts Application
2: MMS Application
3: Calendar Application
4: Phone Application
These 4 apps can be opened all at the same time without closing automatically, a good thing because you want them to work together when sending messages or files. Plus, you also want the phone ON at all times.
Good luck and let me know if you prefer this solution or suggestion.
hmmm...
I don't like the idea of not being in control of my device...
I've been happy doing it manually with Magic Button, and since yesterday, Wisbar Advance 2.
I think the extra tap is worth it!
that's great, maybe it's good for me, thanks for your cab file.
i tried these apps before, but not in this fashion. it never really fully recovered all the memory that it was trying to recover.
is there still a gradual memory leak, or does this manage to retain the full amount of memory after each closure.
i start with 29 - 30mb, it drops to about 18mb, so I reset it. does this stop the memory drop and reduction and totally reclaim the memory on closure of every app?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, unfortunately, but based on using them on the latest AKU 3 ROMs, Oxios apps are getting better in recovering the lost memory.
thanks! will think about installing this. currently, im just using memmaid's reclaim ram plug in. Im not sure if it's just placebo but it works somehow..
i need help with both the program and storage memory on the device itself...
first, the program memory, say i would have only one program open like right now I am on opera browser and it says about 1mb available. i would go to tasks and end it... then it would say about 3 mb available with no programs open.. i always notice that it has the most after a soft reset... any way to rectify that? i need help because it moves sooooo sluggish
2nd i need help freeing up storage memory on the device, i have tried everything i know of... deleting cookies , deleting every possible file that I put on it, including pics music sounds.. everything! even uninstalling some programs...(I usually install on storage card anyway)
every folder is virtally empty in regards to files that I put there myself...
the last thing for me to do is delete text messages but I have another post discussing why thats a problem
please help me with this, i feel its also causing the phone to move a little sluggish
any suggestions?
Ok, here's some advice, and some software. Both are free, and neither will take offense if ignored.
Load and run ClearTemp: http://mobile-sg.com/software/download.asp?dl=ClearTemp&platform=ppc
It will clear all of your temp files, cookies, etc.
Use a file explorer tool (the built-in one will do) to navigate to your Programs folder and remove all dead wood. Many programs leave behind configuration files and unpacked libraries when uninstalled. This goes double for anything that is customizable. You'll chew up a LOT of memory loading skinning programs and the like. Get an SD card, and leave that stuff on it, instead of the main memory.
Also, look through the Windows\Startup folder and see what's being started up on boot. You may be surprised just how many programs are running without being reported to your task manager. Any Windows user should be used to this. Delete any links to features you recognize and don't want to run at startup.
Optional: read the overclocking thread. Overclocking speeds up your processor. Most people experience significant improvement just increasing clock speed from 195 (default) to around 240, without any side-effects. Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=255771
Lastly, if you're loading programs to an SD chip, you must be prepared for slower response on loading them. Wizard is slow in reading and especially writing to SD card.
well i have overclocked my wizard already to 240 a long time ago...
i have deleted everything possible on the phone's memory without anything left for me to delete
but i will run the program to delete temp files although i have deleted them through the browser itself...
thanks...
anyone else with othe suggestons?
What rom are you using? you might want to switch. task manager 2.9/or 2.7 will show you what is actualy causing the memory to dissapeare. for mine it is device.exe and another program gwes.exe that deals with activesync. in most cases that is the problem and the only way to rectify that is to change the OS because it probably hasn't been ported right (device exe)
also update your signature so that it will list your devece, OS, Ipl Spl Gsm versions. that way people will have more information and be able to give you better advice.
Hey there!
I wonder if there's any way to manually remove an item in the list of installed application on Xperia (WM6.1)? I have a couple of annoying programs there that just won't go away. WM said that the uninstallation couldn't be fully performed in these cases, and asked if I wanted to remove the items from the list. But they are still there. I even made a system search and removed all files related to those programs, and I also deleted all references to them in the registry. But they continue to appear on the list. Where the heck are they stored, I wonder? Is it text in a specific file? Suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks
Same problem here.
what is the best way to organize your memory card
how to name your folders fro easier navigation and so they show up in phone's apps by default.
like picture and video folders .
and what are default HD2 folders?
please all yaalll show your folder structure on the card how it is setup.
heres what i have.
audio
books
DCIM
documents
downloads
ebooks
manuals
my documents
program files
videos
zero ( unsorted folder) zero is to make it last in line.
Mine is almost identical to yours (I call "audio" music, and only have an "ebooks" folder).
The only one I have extra is one called "Cabs", which I generally strip out an dput on my PC every couple of months, but until then it's a respository of ones I've tried and liked since my last ROM flash.
I also keep all unsorted files (and also videos) in the root of the drive, but I may start being more organised, and have a "z_More" folder too
ALLWAYSON - for programs that dont need to be installed, like notepad.exe, my provxml files, sendandrecieveall.exe, GPRSEnabler/disabler, googlemaps (I use teh 'fake google maps'using VJBrisk tweak in my rom to allow google maps to run from there, and so not need reinstalling every time i hard reset)
Programs in this folder have hardcoded quicklinks cooked into my ROM to them.
AUTOINSTALL - all my most used cabs live in there, and the cooked roms auto install them whenever i hard reset. Things like resco, opera, MYTWEAKS.cab
CABSTORE - for cabs that i want to have with me, but dont always need to have installed
DCIM - default images folder
INCOMING - my registry tweaks (MYTWEAKS.CAB) point opera and bluetooth to download everything to this folder.
MUSIC - pretty self explanatory
PROGRAM FILES - again, says it all in the name
SCRAP - like a temp folder, i empty it weekly or so.
