I have look through every site here, but cant seem to find the solution to this? I have a couple of .cab files on my computer, and I'm not sure where to put them into my HD2. Which map/fil directory should I transfer these files to ?
copy them to the storage card, and click on them on your phone.
During installation you will get the questions to install in phone or memory card. In most cases choose memorycard.
Nice, so I dont make any new folders, just load them into the card?
Thanks, I got it now!!
Thank you for reply!
hi mate where all a beginner some day, yep ur solution is copy to phone storage, and then install by selecting the .cab on ur phone it will ask you where u want to install to

What is the benefit of running CAB's from our SD card? In otherwords, I don't have the foggiest clue what happens to a CAB once you run it apart from it installing the program etc.
A cab file is a way to install a progam.
So you can install this program wherever you want.
The benefit to install it on a SD Card is to liberate some RAM
Thanks for that
Why is this forum sooooooo sloooooow

Hi Alex, thanks for the tweak. But what do you mean by those meantioned above ? Are you saying that we can create a "Program Files" folder in SD card and install our program into it? What do you mean by root folder? Do I need to create a note pad file named as ignore_my_docs?

Calvin,
Root folder refers to the highest folder of the drive, the one where all the sub-folders reside... ie on your PC C:\
Be very carefull editing the registry, not recomended for a novice as one wrong move can leave you with a lot of trouble
Thanks for the info. :wink: I think there's nothing to do with registry in these tweak rite? For what I know from others forumer, the Ignore_my_documents file is inside the main memory. It serves the purpose whereby the ppc will ignore the "My Documents" inside the Sd card (if you created one) and only use the "My Documents" inside the main memory.
Same said they have deleted the Ignore_my_documents file in the main memory and therefore they can saved their files (themes and etc) into "My Documents" inside the Sd card in order to save some RAM.
My question is, do we need to create Ignore_my_documents file into Sd card if we are going to do so?
On the Wizard when you install an app by putting .cab file on the storage card or wherever it asks you where to put it. For instance before I sold my Wizard I put a .cab on the storage card and ran it from the phone and installed it on the storage card.
Just gone back to a Magician temporarily and forgot that if you put a .cab on the mem card and want to install it to the storage card, you can't and it installs it on the phone memory, which is small compared to a Wizard.
The only way I can see to be able to install files to storage card is if they are .exe and you either install them from PC and chose location or suchlike. No choice for .Cab files or is there ?
WinCE cab manager anyone ??
there's a little software called cabinstl_en.exe that allows you to select where to install the cab file.

Thanks very much, works a treat.
your welcome. glad that it works for you too.
I have a HTC wizard fully loaded with appz and games. I just recieved my new 2GB miniSD. I want to know the easiest way to transfer all the files from one miniSD to the other, that way I don't have to re-install everything.
There's proably some hidden files and stuff since I have programs installed onto the card. Also I don't think the new miniSD is formated yet. Please help ASAP.

The Files can be transferred directly through The Cable connection By Using WINDOWS EXPLORER but Many Apps share common files which are copied in the Windows or the system folder or even the root.
They might not work on the other Wizard.
Take Backups..whatever you do
All the best :wink:
i got XDA Trion, but for some reason when i start the camera, it will prompt me that i have installed a storage device and if i wish to have it as my default storage for my pics and videos. However it never does, i cant even choose the storage card as a means activating it as a default storage. i got 2GB sandisk Mircro SD. Can someone help me or if theres already been a thread like this, post the link coz i tried the search but i couldnt find any similiar to the problem that i have. regards.
It's most likely because either you or an application has enabled the network folder. See here:

How to?
So how do i disable it then? sorry but im a noob so please bare with
Ok, as I can't remember if you can enable/disable the network folder in the File Explorer (already installed on your device). I suggest you download Total Commander:
arm/xscale/pxa
This downloads a cab file that you move directly to your SD card and then on the phone tap the file to install it to your storage card (with me so far?)
Once you get it installed let us know and someone will tell you how to disable the network folder using Total Commander.
By the way Total Commander is a very nice application that has many uses as I'm sure you will learn if you hang around XDA-Dev for a while.

Cool!
Thank you, i got it sorted now, my camera saves all the pics and vids on my storage card now.
Hi, Sorry to bother everyone.....but i am new to this and i just got this htc hd2 phone and i been TRYING to read up on stuff but not really understanding much....*i know most of yall are prob laughing right now* but i was just wondering how do you dl apps from the comp and put it into your phone? do you just put it in the sd card under a certain folder? or do i dl it from my phone? Thanks for everyones time!
Hello friend, I understand what it's like coming into a tech heavy phone like the HD2 and then trying to comprehend stuff on this site. It get easier over time, just keep reading.
Anyway in answer to your question downloading apps is easy. For your computer you just have to find the apps you want, whether it be here or other sites. Select the app you want and download it. The majority of winmo apps are .cab files. If you download a .zip then extract the .cab from inside it.
Copy the .cab file to your sdcard or phone memory whichever you prefer, then using file explorer just navigate to the app, select it and install. Most apps ask if you want to install to phone memory or sdcard, whichever you prefer. All done!
For downloading on your phone it's the same concept, find the app, download it to your sdcard or internal memory and then use file explorer to install.
Good luck
thanks alot chris! I will defiantly try this out........one more quick question if you dont mind....is that when i put the .cab file onto my sd card or phone does it need to be in a certain folder?........thanks again!
just place it anywhere on your sd card mate and navigate to it using file explorer, i have a folder on my sd card called general crap, and anything i want to install goes in there so i no where i left it
