Any apps to force *.cab file install to storage card?
well you can try to edit the cabs you need with WinCE Cab Manager for hardcode the paths to point in the storage card but some applications are needed to be in or to have parts of them in Windows folder or to run from the device, so this will not work in all applications
so wince doesn't support installing apps in the storage card?
storage gonna be a problem, unlike in smartphone it asks where to install it.
is it possible to save contacts and email,sms, mms messages directly to the storage card? i remember smartphones have a reg hack for that.
thanks.
it asks depending on the cab, most of the cabs i create i adjusted them not to ask where to install if they can not be installed on the storage card. but other cabs ask if you want to install on the device or the storage card
I have this issue with a couple of games 'Hawx' and 'Xtrakt' no matter what I do even selecting the option to install on storage card they install in the Phone Program files.. They both use nerly 15MB of space which is a big chunk of the 200MB available.

I have 50MB left of the phone storage so 15MB is a lot, I don't see why the game can't be installed on the memory card.
Is there any app that will list where all the space is being used up, I do agree 200MD is quite a bit, but I have cleared out all temp files I can think of..

I guess you did not get my comment... the BA does not have 200 MB of storage, no matter what you do. MemMaid or SKTools might be ale to give you the info that you are looking for.
Well,
My phone has been saying that is has low memory. I have a 2gb card, and want to know how I can clear up the phone, and transfer some temporary files onto the card. maybe some e-mail attachments, and text messages.
I have only installed the following:
-Weather on the go
-Battery Status
-Google Maps
-Streaming Media
I also HAD Pointui installed, but I couldn't uninstall it, so I just went to the folder, and deleted everything. Not under programs (start, programs) I see the Pointui Icons (Home and Update)
How could I get rid of these Icons?
Thanks a lot guys!
find a program called CLEARTEMP
What do you guys use to download software for the Wing?
What do u mean?
There are plenty of PPC websites out there.
OK,
I downloaded it, and cleared some unused stuff. But My memory is still pretty full.
Is there a way to move some programs to the memory card without un-installing, and installing them back on.
Storage:
Total: 39.44 MB
In Use: 38.02 MB
Free: 1.42 MB
Program:
Total: 43.87 MB
In Use: 35.61 MB
Free: 8.26 MB
Flash to a different ROM with lots of Storage.
That should give you atleast a good result.
If you are using the Stock ROM flashing a new one will give you a lot more space and speed
Also you can try moving some programs to the storage card, set your pictures/videos to be saved on Storage Card and maybe change your PagePool to free up a bit more Program Memory
You can use a program called Pocket Mechanic to relocate programs from the main memory to the storage card.
If you are still using the stock rom, I would definitely suggest you flash a new one... you'll be amazed at the different in speed, storage, stability ..etc..
What memory do yopu want to clean up? The storage or program memory?
To clear the storage memory use cleartemp and oxios hibernate. Google for both, cuz you can download the as freeware. Select in the various applications (camera/rsshub/mail) your SD-card as default storage.
To clear the program memory use Pochet Mechanic (trialversion) to move the programdirectory to your sd card or reinstall your programma's to your sd-card

RE: Pocket Mechanic....
Do you guys happen to know if you can relocation programs from main memory to the storage card that were installed in main memory originally by the ROM? I'm guessing no, but worth asking....
ok I just got my diamond, and I had 43MB of free space, after installing xmods HD, and S2A, I only have 3 mb left, what can I uninstall to get more space???
I need like 6 more megs to install sprint picture mail cab and S2U2
1. kill your operator rom and update your rom with an optimized one (use the search!)
2. install software on storage card
try to use third part software, e.g. SKTools. Then use it for optimizing registry, clean orphan files and shortcuts, temporary files from Opera and others.
Try to store e-mail attachments at Internal Storage, short messages (SMS) as well.
Try to delete unnecessary files from main memory in My Documents folder. If you want to store some own music or ringtones - use My documents at Internal Storage.
BTW - don't try to delete files if you are not sure what it exactly is!!!
With SKTools you can move installed apps, like Google Maps (12mb), to the "Internal Storage".
I install some aplications in internal memory, but i find out that my device memory is reduced.. Why? Can i do anything for this? The reason for installing a game in internal is because i dont have much memory in device. But device memory is also reduced .. I cant understand it..
Ι made a mistake in the above , i install in internal storage , not internal memory that i wrote , but device memory is also reduced..
What does it mean?
If you install some apps in internal memory it would be "steal" exactly some internal memory.
But why can;t you install it into Internal Storage? Do you mean you have less than 4 GB Internal Storage? or you have a lot of stuff there?
There is no way to put files somewhere else: Internal Storage or Main memory...
I've just read my data: Program Memory: 38.45 MB free, Data storage 83.7 MB free (22.85 MB busy)....
I put to main memory only three or four apps (touchLock pro, Gscroll, and ... I don't remember)....
Other apps -> Internal Storage.
I know what takes so much memory. Extracted themes to TF3D. You know where I find every old unpacked themes?
I had a lot of them and each time after the installation of another theme in the place of my missing memory. I thought that these files are exchanged, but apparently it is not.
Hi,
I bought unbranded sim-free HD2 with 1.48 ROM. Since i bought the phone, I never installed any software on internal storage. I always select SD Card.
Yesterday I tried to download a 65MB file on my SD card through Opera and I got error insufficient storage.
My HD2 shows Total Storage = 181.47 MB, Used = 105.63 MN and Free 75.84 MB.
Could you please share how much free storage you have and how can i increase the free storage in my phone.
Thanks
Guys,
Please guide me to increase my internal memory
To be honest, that sounds pretty normal. I'm suprised you'd be trying to download a file of that size to your phone.
Can you not just download it on your PC and then (if it needs to be on your phone) copy it across using a USB cable?
Edit:
There are methods of freeing up some space - search for moving cache files and you'll probably find something.
Usually I'm not as patient as members like Skip or Antonio to name a few, but you could take a look at this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this post.

From time to time you need do some clean ups get rid of caches caused by different apps. HTC album, facebook,...
In case of download you can also have a look at #65 in the thread mentioned above. Move the opera cache to the storage card and you will be able to download the file vie browser as well. The downloaded fie is loaded into the phone storage ...

Thanks for OPera cache tip. I'll try that
Hi pda_crazy
The 181.47 is your onboard flash storage, you need to see SD Card under settings>SD Card & Phone Settings down the bottom
Your phone is not detecting your card because it is probably corrupt, I tried to reformat my 2GB SD that came with my phone because mine was not detecting the SD card and windows said it was corrupt. Purchased a new 8GB MicroSD and was able to format disk and since then the phone recognises it and had no problems.
Hope that helps
Try the attached cleantemp program,
in the menu/main settings change the custom folders to:
1. windows/opera/profiles/cache
2. application data/htc/album/cache
3. windows/youtube ( you may not see this directory if you dont use youtube)
Clean the phone
This should help
like 4tune said: there are some threads, which explains, how to save main storage, also sticky posts. just use search function of Board in Leo-Area.
e.g. "save or free" "main storage"
or
"move google maps to storage card" (would save 20-40 mb)
or
"treesize mobile" (free app which shows you where/how much you have stored - perhaps you know it from your PC)
And everywhere also the same remark all above: install as much as possible and senseful for you by default to storage card.
I'm a T-Mobile Rep and stumbled upon this thread when trying to help a customer set his default storage to the SD Card. While I was reading this thread the customer actually solved his own problem.
Go to MarketPlace, Select Menu, go into settings. You will then see where you can set the default storage to Memory Card. I'm an android guy but I'm learning more and more about Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, and even Nokia/Ovi/Symbian.
Cheers!
It seems that Opera 9 saves downloads to a folder on the phones 'device memory', but it doesn't always delete them when you tell opera to do so in the downloads menu tab.
It saves them too: \My Device\Windows\opera9\profile\download
When I deleated most of the files there, it released over 110 MB of space in the device storage .
I wonder where other programs save similar files?

How full is the phone memory? Details...
Did you download something? Downloaded files usually goes to the root of the main memory.
search moving cache on here, that takes up a big chunk of memory...

I've got the same problem with my son's phone it keeps on coming up with the message "your phone is running low on free storage space. delete old or unused items to create more space" when I look in file explorer/ windows/youtube its full of old files but will take for ever to delete them indavidualy does anyone know how to remove these old files as I can't access them when the phone is conected up to the pc, plus is it possible to change the cache so these files are saved to the memory card instead.
Please help as my son is driving me around the bend asking me to fix it !!!!!
Hard reset the phone to clear the storage.
Also check you don't have something like voice recorder activating in your pocket or something creating large files of nonsense filling the memory.
I've managed to delete all the old you tube files 525 of them but storage memory is still full
total 180.98mb
in use 177.89mb
free 3.09mb
so now I don't know whats using allthe memory
does any one have any idea whats wrong
cheers

youcan access them from your computer so long as you allow hidden and system files.(in win 7 open the phones windows folder, click alt, tools, folder options, then I think its the second tab, un tick hide protected files and the hidden files one, apply and they should appear.you MAY need to apply to all folders)
or, use resco explorer on your hd2, much than the built in one and will also allow you to choose to un hide system and hidden files.
as for multi select...in resco is a menu option for multi select.
Going to do a hard reset but can't keep on doing that every time it fills up it's only been 2 weeks since it was last reset.
