Does anyone know how to uninstall CoPilot? - HD2 General

I want to get rid of copilot from the supplied memory card (I need the space for my TomTom maps )
Should I just delete it and then delete the shortcut from the start menu? I can't find it in the 'Remove programs' section.

No one else got any thoughts about this?
Surely I'm not the only one who wants to claim my 600MB back from my SD Card?

Yes, you can just delete the Copilot folder from your SD card to make more space available. Note that this won't delete the application, just the maps.
If you're unsure you could always just move the folder off the SD card to your PC so you have a backup that you can restore to.

Cheers mate, That's good enough for me

Hi all...
i need to move mydocuments on to the storage card, but also get the syn system to work. do you know how i can do it? i've moved the folder to the storage card, but now need it to syn up with the pc. i also need the xda2 to register that mydocs is on the storage card when it looks for the folder.
Any ideas how?

PIM.VOL file to SD Card

Has anyone found a registry tweak to move the PIM.VOL file to a SD Card? My PIM.VOL is topping 5 meg and would like to free up some space.
I have the same problem. What does the PIM file do?

Nobody has a clue ? Would be great to move these large files to either the SD Card or the Ext ROM space.
Buzz ?

The pim.vol file contains all of your contacts, calendar entries, and tasks.
As far as I'm aware there's no way to move this to SD card. And that's been the case since my first PPC phone, so it probably can't be done. If it could, then I'm sure some bright spark would've figured it out by now.
Looks like we're stuck with it in our Storage memory...
For awhile I had both a PIM.vol and a PIM.volc - one was 9MB and the other over 8MB. So needless to say I was running out of storage memory even though I put almost everything on my SD card. Anyone know what the second one was for?
I found a setting in the registry a while back:
HKLM\System\Platform\DataPath = \
I wanted to have a fiddle and see if I could move the .VOL files into a directory rather than the root, but I figured that this was one of those hard-reset-if-it-goes-wrong moments.
Is this the right setting? Is it possible to copy the .VOL files somewhere else, change this setting and reboot?
Even if it is only to \Documents and Settings\<user> it would make the root directory clean.

The first thing Sprite Backup does is creating copies of the databases (.vol) with a .volc extension. If you cancel a backup, these are not deleted. Sprite confirmed that as being a mistake to me and promised, to post that under q&a. I didn't check since....

Regarding the PIM.volc, if it happens again I assume I can just delete it. I got rid of it by doing a hard reset and a restore so I have solved the probem for now.
I've had the PIM.volc file/error before and I just manually deleted it with no problems at all.

How do I reformat my miniSD card?

I installed Pocket Breeze to my miniSD card for my 8125. Then I decided to get rid of it. Too busy.
I "Remove Programs" it. But it did not delete the program. So I used MemMaid to delete the program shortcuts from the main memory.
Still did not get rid of it. Then I deleted what I could find from the Storage Card. Finally after TEN resets, I was able to get back to being able to use the phone.
But I think I corrupted the file system on the Storage Card. I can not figure out how to reformat the miniSD card and start over with it. Anyone have any helpful hints on how to do this?
Thanks

Amazingly, WM5.0 does not have memory card formating fuctionality.
Use Storage Tools (free) or Resco File Explorer.
This is too cool. I post and fifteen minutes later someone posts a reply with a solution. I immediately download and am running the solution.
Can't beat it.

People keep saying storage tools is free - its not it cost $15.
Cheapest alternative is sktools that will format card, notification queue, process checker and whole lot more - it's only $9 and a must for every ppc user (better than memaid)

Moving TomTom from MicroDrive to MiniSD

Hi people,
Since I started to use my HTC X7500, I have TomTom Navigator 6, including all the needed stuff like maps and voices installed on the MicroDrive.
No problems there, but I now wanted to move the entire TomTom Navigator 6 from the MicroDrive to a 4GH MiniSDHC card.
I moved everything and TomTom starts and works, except for the voices. There are no voices!! The "VOICES" folder which was previously in the root of the MicroDrive, now is in the root of the MiniSDHC card, as it should.
Yet TomTom won't find any of the voices, so I can't access/use them.
When I place a copy of the "VOICES" folder to the MicroDrive again, TomTom WILL find the voices and can use them.
Now the question is, how can I get TomTom to use the voices from the "VOICES" folder on the MiniSDHC?
It obviously keeps looking for them on the MicroDrive.
I already uninstalled TomTom with removing all remaining .cfg and .ini files I could find, but after reinstalling the situation still was the same.
Thanks for the tips!!
try:
just copy data05 (for english) these two files. put them in the same foder where u have navigator.exe.
Thanks for the tip.
But what if I want to keep the entire (50MB or so) "VOICES" folder?
There should be a way to have TomTom forget about the MicroDrive and to use the Storage Card?
i believe u need registry editing.

Yeah.... where and what?
Searched everything containing "tomtom" and "voice".... didn't do.

Put them on the SD card, and delete the ini file in the voices folder before starting tomtom.

Unfortunately that didn't work..... still no voices when I try that.
The strange thing is that a new "voices" folder containing the "collected.ini" file appears on the MicroDrive when I've started TomTom.
I guess it @#@$! keeps looking on the MicroDrive.
More tips?
I'm using an ETEN X500, but I think the answer may be the same.
The collected.ini file, together with whichever DATA*.CHK file you choose, is by default placed on Main memory - in my case \Program Files\Navigator\voices
If you delete the collected.ini file, you can choose a new voice (the 50Mb file for which can be on your card) but TomTom will again by default store the new collected.ini + *.CHK files on Main Memory.
I've never found a way to change this behaviour, but the "voices" folder on Main Memory is about 650kb, so I live with it.
Ok, but why is it possible to use the voices folder on the MicroDrive then??
That was my situation at first. Since I figured everything works faster when stored on the Storage Card, I decided to move everything.
The thing is that TomTom works, but that the voices are the only thing he keeps looking for on the MicroDrive....
Even after the official WM6 ROM upgrade, the voices will only work when the folder is present on the MicroDrive.
Come on, there must be a way...... or not?
I think you should search for any folder names "voices" (usually in \Microdrive\voices, \storage card\voices, \program files\navigator\voices). Remove all of them, only keep the one you want to use (i.e. on the SD card). also make sure there is no "collected.ini" file left. This file will be re-creteated at the next Tomtom startup.
I believe Tomtom looks in the root folder of all memory devices (main memory, microdrive, sd card, etc.) for a folder called "voices".
Anyway, it does work for me (I have moved all tomtom stuff from the microdrive on the SD card too and it works).

Why not try a regular (non-Athena specific) install (like 6.030 from TT direct, or 6.032 from the Kaiser)?

Thanks for the tip.
Tried that, ending up with the "voices" folder without collected.ini only in the root of the Storage Card.
I even deleted the navigator.cfg file from program files\navigator\ and guess what..... it didn't work!!
While running TomTom there are no voices available and when I close it again, a voices folder containing collected.ini have been created in the root of the MicroDrive and in program files\navigator again......
Then where on earth does it get its instructions from to look on the MicroDrive?? Need to kill that!!
Waht version of Tomtom are you using? I have 6.030.

6.00. Is it a version issue?
Might be, my "old" version 6.xxx (before 6.030) couldn't event find the maps when they were elsewhere than \My documents (which caused some problems as the maps are often >150 MB). You should try to upgrade to 6.030 (besides they say that the internal GPS is managed better after tghe upgrade even though I didn't notice any improvement on this topic).
I had a similar problem, it didnt matter how many files i deleted or even uninstalled, it still couldnt find my post codes or voices, but after I did the upgrade to wm6, I then reinstalled tomtom direct to sd card, and now the voices are working again, I wonder if there is a hidden file somewhere that needs to be deleted.
SOLVED!!
Well folks,
I got my hands on the latest TomTom Navigator 6.03 and the problem has been solved. I uninstalled Navigator 6.00, moved the entire "voices" folder to the Storage Card and then installed 6.03. Works a charm!! The voices are useable on the Storage Card now.
It seems to be a real "6.00 problem", since a lot of people I know have had the same problem, as well on the HP iPAQ hx4700, which has both a SD and CF slot.
Another great thing in 6.03 is the new "Internal GPS" GPS selection feature. Just select "Internal GPS" as your GPS device and the fix and accuracy is better than ever. No trouble like COM-port or baudrate, just the setting.
Happy now!!

Installng TT6 to microdrive

Hi Guys' - I can't seem to find anything about this (maybe too bleeding edge ) but I don't want to commit my miniSD slot to just running TTN6.
Does anyone have any hacks or proceedures for getting it to run off the microdrive instead. I have the full package - DVD + miniSD.
I tried copying the entire 1GB miniSD to a folder on a 2GB one and trying to manually install from there. It does install but upon running claims it can't see any maps...grrr.
Regards

go Tiger!!!
you need to put the maps in the root folder of the sdcard/microdrive
pocket mech
pocket mechanic can move programs from one drive to another, cleaning up the registry, links etc.
but can it move programs from sdcard to another sdcard with only one sd-slot?
well you could still move it to the microdrive first and then change the cards.
