Installing TOMTOM6 on microSD card ?? Fix Today Launch Item ???

Since I don't have a lot of space in the internal memory from the phone, I am trying to install the TT6 on the storagecard.
But he always put it into the phone memory, now I can Move it onto the mSD card manually with the PC, but now the link in the TODAY screen doesn't work anymore, how can I fix that ??
TT6 works just fine if I launch it from FileExplorer ..

(Edit: I just re-read your post. The procedure below will fix the shortcut in the Programs screen. If you were talking about the TomTom Today plug-in, it won't help. I am not sure which of the two you were referring to.)
There is a cute trick to solve this problem:
- connect your device to your PC
- on the PC, open ActiveSync's "Browse" (note: I use a German Windows, so my translation of menu items may be incorrect. In that case, try whatever sounds similar )
- browse to the TomTom directory on your SD card.
- right-click on the TomTome executable, select "copy"
- browse to the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs directory
- delete the old, dysfunctional shortcut to TomTom
- right-click anywhere in that directory, and select "paste as shortcut".
Amazingly, ActiveSync has now created a proper Windows Mobile style .lnk file for you. Press F2 to rename it to whatever you want. Note that you do not need to specify the .lnk extension.
Hope that solves your problem!
Cheers

I didn't want to start an entire new thread on this and I searched but couldn't find the exact answer:
I'm waiting for my 8525 next week that I ordered from Cingular and want to use my new TT Navigator 6 software on my 8125 in the meantime. Will I be able to use the TomTom product code a second time when i receive my 8525 after I've already activated it on my 8125? So really not trying to do anything illegal, just want to use it for my personal use on my current phone while I wait for my new one.
Will the product code only work once? Has anyone loaded the software on a device, only to get a new device and then activate with no issues the second time on a new device?
Thanks. THIS FORUM ROCKS. My 8125 is a great device from all the tweaks I picked up here at XDA (especially OMAPCLOCK) and I've bookmarked at least 15 Hermes tweaks for my soon-to-arrive 8525.

mini-SDHC Issue......bad news

Ok, this is quite a bad news, i put my new Transcend 4GB miniSDHC card in my Athena, it shows up in the memory setting. You can put file and read file ok. But here is the problem, when you install the programs on miniSD, it install ok, but after you try to read it from start menu, it says either some file is missing or the program is not digitally signed!
It's not just one program, all my program which install on miniSD doesn't work, if you use file explorer to click the program, it works.....but not through start menu.
Anyone knows what's going on? I am now going to reinstall all these program in Micro Drive, not sure if that's going to cause slow reading speed or more power drain, but it's the only option now for me.

yes i have try that, it works for the first time, after soft restart, all not working again.......such a waste for this miniSDHC, anyway, i have install all my extra program on micro drive, my first impression is it runs faster than miniSDHC for some reason, will do benchmark on these a bit later

if you install in Micro Drive, battery will be empty sooner
why you don't install on device memory?
Do you try another memory on it?

i am not sure how bad the battery will be if i use micro drive, but do you really think install on mini-SD is faster than micro drive?
NO!!, micro drive is much much faster, i have run the benchmark on these two, the micro drive is running at least 5 times faster than my high speed miniSD, and the index score of micro drive is way higher than the fastest file index device in the world (dell dx something). The micro drive also use FAT32 format.
So i guess i will keep my program there for now and see how the battery goes

i did the installation into storage card(transcend 4G mini SDHC)...
and then run the program from program files...
it works well!

!!!!........really......something strange here. where did you buy yours? is it possible mine one is fake? did you do anything special or just install the normal way?

please say here how much battery work?
before and after use micro driver.
I personally think the problem is of your memory and a say test another memory to see do it work good or no?

i have found the problem and solve it, it's to do with the name of the sd card, change it to "Stroage Card" and everything works great. So still, i don't know how much battery it drain for running programs on Micro drive, since all my programs are back to mini-SD now, but it does feel faster when you install in Micro drive i think

I got the same problem on my Dopod U1000 with TOSHIBA 2GB mini-SD, sometime the memory card is readable but the file structure is broken it case some software can not run after reset the device all resume to normal.
I think it is not only the SDHC problem.

it's not SDHC, it's the name of the SD card, you have to rename it Storage Card, otherwise software won't work

I have always retained the original name for my SD card (Storage Card), but on three occasions so far, the file structure and name were garbed when viewed with file explorer, or were simply missing. In one instance, I was editing an excel spreadsheet and suddenly found that I could not save it. I was forced to first save into the device,reset the device, then transfer the spreadsheet back to the storage card. I read from other forum that I'm not alone in having to reset to regain the Storage Card data.
Perhaps there is a bug in the ROM, Wu?

I haven't actually installed any programs on my 4 GB mini-SDHC card, but I have no problems running programs on the card. I've created shortcuts to Transport Tycoon, ScummVM and PTGmap and they're all running fine on the card...

What size of the SD-card is supported with Helmi's WM6 for BA?

Hi,
what is the size of your SD-card that you are using with your WM6 BA?
Does Helmi's ROM support up to 4GB card?
I'm asking because I'd like to buy a new one - preferable 4GB.
Thanks in advance
Phily

BA supports standard SD cards not the SDHC.
So if you manage to get more than 2gb on a regular SD card that would work.
I guess that there is one company that make 4g regular SD cards.

I have 4GB card (Platinum brand) that is not SDHC and works fine in BA. Ideal for multiple navigation systems.

I think Transcend have 4 GB card that is reported to work in ba
(I have not tryed it)

I have 4G Transcend SD 150x (it is not SDHC) - works very good, but it is slow card. (very slow writing data, both WM5 and WM6).

Thanks
Thank you for your feedback!

Not in Bleangel

teddybear3k: have you tried? I go for xplode and say, that it's not possible.

Not possible until skilled programmer rewrite the SD Bus driver

SDHC
what about this? (WARNING THIS HP offers warez aswell, but following links are, so far I know, to free ware! So please do not warn, kick or ban me for this links.)
Page Link -- http://myppc.ru/2007/09/14/sdhc_driver.html
File Link -- http://myppc.ru/uploads/files/myppc.ru-1881_sdhc.rar
Is it the same? I would like to install it, but I'm aware, if it could scratch my device....
The given page actually is a good newsticker for PPC programs, I like it even more, than HPC.ru
if this cab should work, then even SDHC Cards with more then 32GB should probably work aswell....
wfg. - Mihail

Mihail: on the list there is NO BlueAngel. Installing it won't kill your device, you will just loose SD card access (and you will need to reverse the operation or make hard reset to get back the access).
We need SD driver made especially for BlueAngel.

List only tells,
on which devices this driver was already applied! Not for which devices it is maid!
That's why!

Mikhail: test it and report. Make backup before and prepare for HR.

Test to 50%
O don't have any SDHC cards! So I could only test, if this cab allows to use SD-Cards, not more... but I will do it!

HTC driver - but not BA
Is not working for BA.... and I'm not a progger (and for shure not a disassembler/hacker) to change this.

So you just confirmed what we said. Please confirm it on your own before publishing any new "breakthru" news.

sd bus driver
Does any one you think that it is possible to use the bsquare development kits to build support for higher/faster sd cards for blue angel?

If you had source code for the SD reader driver and knew how to update it to support SDHC (by hand probably) yes, this is doable with ANY devkit. Without this you are left with desassembling and analysing it in assembler/C.

sd card
hmm i am a high level programmer. (But I like to dive into the subject for giving something back to this community) (I can program in C but have never build a driver before) (Assembly is far beyond my scope) Though I have some good system programmers in my business environment. I will post my findings in this thread and maybe it's a good idea to change the direction of this thread to making this possible (and the way to doing it) instead of asking which is the max card working on the blue angel. Making the BA take advantage of the new generation SD cards is IMHO a very important step.

SD as RAM???

1. Open a new folder “Volatile” on the SD card
2. Change the following key, using the registry editor:
from \HKLM\System\Filesys TempPath = \Application Data\Volatile
to \HKLM\System\Filesys TempPath = \Storage Card\Volatile
3. Turn off the pocket pc with the power button for about 30 sec (not soft reset/hard reset).
4. Turn it on again.
Found this on another site and was wondering is this possible? Well thanks ahead. JD

The comment for it says this:
That "tweak" listed only changes where some programs store temporary files. PocketRAR, amongst others, uses that directory to temporarily extract files to when it is working...
This is not "using SD as virtual memory" as the name suggests, it is simply moving the "Temp" directory.

yeah my connection wouldn't load it untill just a minute ago and I was about to edit it so dangit....... I thought I found something good.
Well is it possible to do this maybe like in Vista?

u mean ' Ready Boost' ?
SD Card's reading speed is too slow....not as fast as RS-MMC

yeah ready boost, although I am using a 2 gig sd card now in my laptop just for that so it does work. But for WM it seems unlikely. I just am a wishful thinker, even though 512m to 1gig ram in a ppc sounds soooo cool. LOL

i've seen a thread discussing about 1G or 2G RAM...
and u can google it if u are interest in....
the key to upgrade is to buy a propiate IC part for Hermes(and we've already worked out which IC can be used for hermes.)

ok thanks I'll check into it more

it's not sd cards which is too slow it's
the sd interface of the pocketpc's which are slow
well that and the fact that wm dont currently support
readyboost

I dont understand it should be possible to do this??? so its a hardware limitation? or do you think a person can con-coct a bit of code which allows this??

it's deep inside the the core of os
all memory management is
maybe later windows CE cores will include it

That's the key.
WinCE 5 now has a memory management limit
it can only support 32 process in 32MB...
and WinCE 6 provides more efficiency management on memory and cancelled the limit on 32MB for 32 process....
So, let's waiting 4 WM6.1...

windows mobile 6.1 is not based on ce6 it's still ce5 like wm6
and mem allo size dont have to do what can be allocated as mem
not sure if ce6 even support something like readyboost

Format Micro SDHC 6GB?

Can anyone tell me how to format micro SDHC 6GB card on my TyTn II?
I cant format on my pc, it says "Can not format"

I use Resco Explorer 2007. It can format the storage cards in the device. Its not free but well worth the price:
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp

You might want to be careful as the memory card might be a fake one if bought from Ebay. I have bought a memory stick pro duo on ebay and it came out to be a fake memory card. It had a capacity rating of 2gb but whenever I placed files onto the memory card after a certain amount, the files became corrupted and did not work. It showed that it was still there but the actual file when tried to open didn't work. Trying to format it was a pain in the butt as well.
