Where do I put the files? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General
Sorry if this seems a 'dumb ass question' but I'm new to this.
I want to make the adjustments to speed up my XDA Mini S as it seems awfully slow to start programs compared to my old XDA.
I have just downloaded the registerywizard and unzipped it to my desktop but where on my device do I drop the files? in which folder?
Sorry if it seems obvious to you guys but it's not to me.
Cheers
Hi, activesync your device and you can place them anywhere on your device but most people place them in \my documents and with a file explorer on the device click on the cab and it will install reg wizard on the device. Have you got both files needed for the installation?
When you say both files, do you mean RegistryWizard_PPC.ARMV4 & OpenNETCF.SDF.wce4.armv4??
One of the things that really bugs me is my device is for ever telling me I'm running low on memory and yet program memory always has loads of space (I also have a 1Gb card) I understand that the split can be changed from 50-50 using the registry?
Cheers
Thats right both those files are needed for registry wizard to work.
There is no way you can change the memory split in wm5, that was only with wm2003 etc..
You have to find a way to free up memory - I have 25mb after a soft reset. You say program memory is always ok - thats equivalent to ram, so maybe its storage memory thats low and asking you to free up memory? Empty internet explorer cache etc...
Ok thanks for that. I have cleared the cache which freed up 0.5 mb but I still only have 4Mb of free storage space on my device storage?
The only thing I have installed is Tom Tom since I got my XDA! (the maps are on my memory card and the program on my device) so why is there so little space?
Also I have downloaded the 2 files for the registry wizard and put them on my storage card but how do you run the reg wizard as there is no exe file or set up file?
Thanks
Have a look with file explorer on the device to see what is taking space - particularly look at \program files and \my documents. Can you recall how much program memory you had out of the box? It maybe the o2 extras that are filling it up and i imagine tom tom a pretty big install.
Use the attached treesize to look at memory - tells you at a glance how much memory is in each folder. Change default byte setting to kilobytes and its easier to interprate.
If you want to get rid of the o2 extras hard reset and then just as the o2 stuff is about to install do a soft reset - you will have a leaner and quicker device.
Hi, I put the file you suggested into my mem card but again, how do you run it?
there is no exe file or set up process, if I go to it from file explorer and click on it it says"There is no application associated...." the same as I get with the registry wizard??
Sorry if this is basic to you guys but I'm confused.
Incidentally the memory info is as follows:
Storage
Total 47.46
In Use 43.00
Free 4.47
Program
Total 44.01
In Use 23.31
Free 20.70
If I was to do a Hard re-set and stop all the o2 stuff installing, will it remember all the o2 service/message centre info for texting and voice mail etc?
Cheers
Thats a self installing cab - should start installing when you click on it through file explorer on your device. If it wont you have a glitch.
Find enclosed the exe - to be run on the device.
And no you will loose all your settings so you would have to write them all down before you hard reset etc... No fear we are here :wink:
Yep you storage is really full - thats your problem
I must have a clitch of some kind then as there is no file in the download to facilitate an install, same goes for the registry wizard I guess then file I downloaded then?
For example I only have 2 files on the 'tree' file after unziping, how many should there be?
Do you have a Reg wizard info to enable me to install it?
Cheers
It's a cab file - it should not be unzipped (but you are right there should be 2 files in the cab) - click on the treesize.cab or regwiz.cab through explorer on your device. They are self installing.
Well that's odd then as there is no cab file??
I have 2 files after downloading and unziping, they are:
TREESI~1.000 and TreeSize.001
It downloads it as at winrar file on my desktop so I have to then unzip it?
is it something with a setting when I download from this forum?
Hi, does not need to be unzipped place the whole file on the device and click on it.
Thanks you for that, I was assuming because it was a winrar file I had to unzip it, now installed
However I get an error message when I try to run the registry wizard, it states "an unexpected error has occured in registry wizard.exe" (in the details it says TypeLoadExeption, could not load type OpenNetCF.Win32.RegistryKey from assembly OpenNetCF)
I have tried soft resetting but this has made no difference, any suggestions?
Sorry to be a pain here but I really do appreciate your help here
I have also now moved the Tom Tom program to my storage card and I now have 26Mb free space now. :lol:
Have you installed this opennetCF? http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9341
Its needed for reg wizard.
Thats cool got your memory back - tom tom what a hog!
Yes, I installed both???
I have tried removing the program and re-installing and soft resetting again but still I'm getting the same error??
Now just when I thought I was sorted.... :?
Are you installing reg wizard to main memory rather than storage card?
If you are, uninstall and try over again - are you using latest version 't'?
Yes I was putting both files into my storage card, is that that wrong then?
Thanks
Install onto device not the memory card :wink:
Done that now, all is working :lol: .... thank you for all your help Mark, it's much appreciated.

I cant find my "Running Programs"
I just hard reset my magician. Since i'm using big storage (my friend did it), only some of the cab files from extended_rom are installed. Now i just found out that my smart dialing, MMS, O2 plus are not included. It was easy to recover those programs since i know the cab files. However, i cant find the right cab for "Running Programs". Does anyone know which one? Thx. Sorry for the bad language
Running programs - do you mean in Settings > system > memory > running programs? If you need a task killer I can send you one or there's many around. V
That's the one. Thx . So actually it's not a stand-alone program. Yes i found the running programs. So, the question is changed now. I need the shortcut to that program. Usually magician has the blue box icon with a picture of someone running. Do you know the shortcut? Thx.
Just tried to restore that icon from my old backup before it crashed. I thought it was just only a link to some program. But it is not! It is an exe file and after i restored it, click the Running Programs, it says "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename". Any clues?
My Running Programs app is in the "default_103133" CAB file from my Mini. I run this file after hard reset.
What does that file do? Just open up the running programs control panel? If you need it back, just type the following into a text file on your PPC Code: 22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2 and save it as Memory.lnk Then double click on that file. Tell me if it works ok. V
@vijay i just wanna return my magician to the default system . that's why i'm so curious to get back that program. @ampda i'll try that file. thx for the info.
I can post my CAB file but it will also add the O2 xda defaults that can with the Aussie unit
ampda said: My Running Programs app is in the "default_103133" CAB file from my Mini. I run this file after hard reset. Click to expand... Click to collapse Thats right....just install that cab file "default_103133.cab" and you will have your Running Programs app back....that is, if you saved your Ext ROM files before doing the Big Storage patch, or someone can attach that cab file here. Now my problem is (sorry this might be Off-topic) , how can I have back the AUTOCONFIG for different Telcos, (especially Asian) ? Its also gone after the Big Storage patch. I dont know which of the cab files I need to have it back anyone have idea or is there a forum for this in Magician? thanks...
THANK YOU!!! finally i can access my running programs. anyway, ive another question . let's say i want that program to be installed automatically after I hard reset. how can you do that? so i do not have to restore them manually from my sd card. thx.

Click to collapse To get the menu and icon run O2Auto.sa.CAB, then install the telco(s) you want to be in the autoconfiq menu.
@nsriza, thanks!!! As simple as this, and I can have my Autoconfig back already? I thought I need to manually edit the autoconfig.txt to change the paths of the cab files? Btw, I have already installed the cab files for all the Telcos that I need....but not the O2Auto.sa.CAB yet. Is it okay if I install that O2Auto then install again the Telco cabs? Thanks...
So has anyone knew how to setup auto installation for cab files (eg. MMS, SmartDialing etc) after hard reset? thx
another OOT question...what does autoconfig.txt and config.txt do? and how to use it? thx
Im assuming your asking for auto installation for after a hard reset using big storage. if you search for "AutoRUn" on this forum you should find a link on how to create an autorun folder on your storage card. you need the autorun.exe (Found in the search for the link) and a folder called 2577 created in the root directory of your storage card. then all you need to do is add all the CABs that you want to auto install after a HR to a ZIP (not Rar) archive and call that archive extROM.zip. then put that in your 2577 directory and hardreset and it will install all the files in the zip. if you havent already installed the cabs you put in the zip it will actually start installing them as soon as you insert the SD card. have a search around you will find lots of info about this subject.

@Speedn thx for the suggestion. it's very helpful.
@rockafeller hi i used big storage to convert my german rom (o2 xda mini) to wwe 1.12. now i lost some features like MMS,Smart dialling, Home zone control, O2plus. (as it was the case with you). It would be great if you could share here how did you get them back to work? i mean, i want the procedure to do so. i have a backup of my german rom. one more question. i dont see the Phone pad option in my text input list after the bigstorage patch. how can i get it back. any suggestions would be so great.. thanx in advance kk
@visvaram if you backup ur extended_ROM, u should able to find related cab files, such as MMS**.cab, SMARTDIALING**.cab. Just tap those files and it will be installed automatically. FYI, backup ur cab files first b4 installing. Im not sure about O2plus and zone files. Anyone care to help?
How to move "pim.vol" location to Storage?
Hi there is a way to move "pim.vol" by register changes?
Re: There is way to move "pim.vol" location to Sto zpdy said: Hi there is a way to move "pim.vol" by register changes? Click to expand... Click to collapse Hi I have asked this many occasions - in fact I would also like to get rid of the document and settings directory. It currently takes about 1.5mb on my device. There is a program cleartemp that will remove contents of directories during reboot. However I am pretty sure that the files contained in the above directory and pim.vol are needed by the system, so removing them could crash your device. Matt
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please. I believe that if you were to make your own ROM you could edit the registry and move the files before flashing it into your Uni. At the same time you could rip out WMP and PIE, replacing them with more useful apps like TCPMP and Opera, putting these programs into the 128MB flash instead of the 64MB storage. However, after reading a thread here about using MP3 ringtones and having WMP doing the decoding, I wonder how integrated it is and just what would happen if you took it (and it's registry entries) out of your system. Maybe just taking some crap like the Welcome program and some help/graphics files would leave you enough room in ROM to do this? Grr, I should really get on and try this so that I can speak with certainty, shouldn't I?
Where does the .CAB go when installing to main memory?
I am on WM6 now but back when I was on WM5, I remember there was a staging location for all .cab files when an application demanded to be installed on the main memory. At the moment, I am trying to install the Windows Live Messenger beta to Storage Card but it fails when I try to do so. However when I attempt the same install to Main Memory it works fine. I've forgotten now but in the past (WM5), the installation generates a .CAB file and puts it in a consistent location - from here, I should be able to move/run this file so as it install it on the Storage Card again... As per this thread here, I also tried a search of My Device for all .CAB files created in the last 2 days but still nothing Any ideas? Thanks in advance, BB.
Cab Temp location \Application Data\Volatile\ you can safely delete everthing in this folder, its where cabs are expanded to be installed. I hope this what you were looking for.
Big thanks RevAtB - that is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Managed to free up some much-needed space in there too! Thanks again
.cab files installation
Hi I using i-mate Jam Whenever I try to install a cab file I dont get option of saving the program on sd card or on phone memory. How can it be fixed? Looking forward to your help Regards
you can try WinCE CAB Manager for that, it's an amazing program to edit cab's, and allows me to even relocate some DLL's files off \Windows folder. Beware that some cab's dont like to be relocated, however it's great to save some precious space on wm2003 devices.
Thanks iRiKi I have found out that after installation, I can use Pocket Mechanic to move any program from Main memory to Storage Card Its a pretty handy application!
you can try these registry hacks. they work on my O2 XDA II Mini Ask where to install CAB HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/Apps/Microsoft Application installer 'fAskDest' DWORD to 1 (DEC). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dont delete CAB files after install HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/Apps/Microsoft Application installer 'nDynamicDelete' DWORD to 0 (DEC) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
guess i quite didn't understand the first post correctly.. what you want is CabInstl: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/cabinstl.shtml it's the very first thing i run after hard-resets
Programs from memory card not appearing in menu.
Hi, I have an 838pro with wm6 running on it. I have a lot of programs on the memory card that dont appear in the 'programs' bit of my pda. I was wondering if thats standard, and if so: can i change that? Also is their any hack / program that will enable me to use the front (video calling) camera as just a usual camera? Thanks alot, have a great day.
First of all you are posting at the wrong thread. You have a Dopod 838 pro (Hermes) & you are posting at Wizard forums. For the programs at your storage card you find with your file browser the executable that you want to ''go'' to your programs folder, press copy & then go to My Device - Windows - Start Menu - Programs & then select paste as sortcut. You must do that to every program that you want. For your front camera I don't know because my Wizard don't have one .-
copying the exe is a bad idea if the exe depend on dlls or other files located in the same dir it will not work as exe are usually much bigger then shortcuts you make shortcuts to the program using total commander and if you installed the programs on the sd card before you changed rom or changed device or something like that they will never auto showup much like if you installed programs on an external harddisk for your computer and connected it to another computer new or a friends pc they would also not show up apart from that if they depend on settings added to the reg of the pda or computer for that matter and you changed pda/rom or computer you will have to reinstall them but then not all programs add shortcuts to programs depend on how the cab file makers made the install
