Storage card installations

Hey guys,
Is it possible to make a program files directory on the storage card where I can install the apps?
When I now install an app it installs on the root of the SD card.
I would like to have this a little more sorted...
Thanks
Panja

dont think you can specify the directory when installing. Active Sync does not give you the option

No thats the problem...
I was looking for an application that can change that...
With my SPV e200 it makes a directory on the storage card named: Program Files and install in that directory...

Sync. Files to Storage Card

Hi ... If we Sync. files with my computer, the files are stored in the Imate Jam's main memory but I want the files to move to the storage card. How can we do this? Thanks for your replies in advance

As far as I am aware, Activesync only syncs the contents which are contained within the internal memory of the pda/phone - it doesn't touch anything in your storage card memory.
The only way around this is to move the files manually onto the storage card...

Thanks for your help. Much Appreciated.

Hi There, Found a New software called MOBSYNC which actually allows you to SYNC all the folders to any location in to your PPC. It allows you to SYNC any folders from your PC (not specifically My documents). Thanks

why wont it let me install on minisd?

I am trying to install pocket radiologist on my trinity. This program is quite a memory hungry program so am trying to install it onto my 2GB storage card which also has a heap of music on it (but still 500MB free).
When i go to install it it gives me the option to save it onto the storage card but when i select it it installs it into the storage memory on the trinity and not the storage card!
I cant remember if i used some kind of tweak to do this but would love to save the program to my storage card so i can also do it for GPS when i get it......
What am i doing wrong? Is there a setting somewhere which will enable this? i cant seem to find it anywhere.
thanks
Scott

anyone? help please?

someone must have some idea.....

The problem is the installer, it must be hard-coded to use the internal memory instead of the external card, it shouldn't offer the option to install on the card.
You can edit the cab file to remove the hard-coded paths using a trial of WinCE Cab Manager, but if they are hard-coded.. there could be a reason for that, anyways, you can try to do that.

have you tried installing the application on the miniSD card from a card reader, rather than Trinity?

Often if a program installs itself to the internal memory, you can safely find the directory on your phone and move it to the miniSD and just make a new shortcut to your start menu. An example is TomTom, you can copy the directory "Navigator" from the phone Program Files directory to the /Program Files directory on the miniSD and TomTom works perfectly...at least on my device.

Installing TomTom to mini SD card

Hello community,
Have anyone experienced problems installing the TomTom Navigator 6 to the mini SD card?
The option to install the application to internal memory or storage card is shown when installing via usb but then fails to install on the storage card.
There are already installed applications on the mini SD card and additional free space.
The application installs on the internal memory without problems but no free space (this was confirmed by removing applications from the internal memory).

Update: I've installed the application on the internal memory and move the folder and its contents manually to the storage card. I launch the app directly from the card and it worked. However, I haven’t yet tested it for a signal or synchronization with TomTom home, but the app starts. Updated the program shortcut link to point to the new directory and deleted the old (internal memory).
I had a look at the setup xml before stored in the .cab file and found that it explicitly installs to the internal memory. There weren't any use of variables for choice for the installation directory.
Did the developers intentionally leave that out? Or was it an oversight?

What version of TomTom are you talking about? My version (TomTom 6) installs fine onto the memory card. I am installing it from a cab file on the memory card.

How to change memory card

Hello everyone,
It my be simple but I'd better ask you.
I have got 2gb card in my HTC HD2 and now it is almost full with movies and applications (I have installed all app to my memoty card)
So, I'd like to change the card to 8 or 16gb.
How to copy everything?
Just simple drag and copy? or Do I need to install everything from scratch (Garmin,Shell etc)?
As my Mobile Shell and all stuff have been installed on my memory card, when I remove the card the phone will crash, won't it?
Shall I use "Format SD card" or I can format it using my Vista?
Thanks

Simply copy & paste all files from the old card to the new one on your PC should work fine (I did the same to upgrade from 8GB to 16GB SDHC). But do not delete the files in the old card so soon until you have tried and test all programmes after transfer. Better do a system backup before as well just to play save.
I formatted my new card on the device, but I think Vista can do the same. Just make sure you format it using the right "FAT" option (seach this forum for more details).

This is the procedure I have followed successfully in the past.
1. Attach the phone to your PC in "Disk Mode" NOT Activesync.
2. Create a new folder on your PC. Call it something like "SD-Card".
3. Copy all of the files from the sd-card to the folder on the PC.
4. Detach the phone, remove the sd-card and insert the new card.
5. Attach the phone to your PC in "Disk Mode" NOT Activesync.
6. Copy all of the files from the PC folder to the sd-card.
7. Detach the phone then do a soft-reset.
8. Everything should now work, but test!

Garmin wont work because it requires a card number, which changes in case of changing the memory card. It has to bi installed again to the new card.

Thanks for all answers.
Yes, I had to reinstal Garmin.
