im trying to delete transformers and millionaire.ink as well as a few others files from my windows folder and i select delete it wont let me delete it...why?
mind u i already deleted the shortcuts from the start menu....
millionaire
guitar hero
ferrari, prince of persia,tetris
and a couple of others....
how do i delete em from the windows folder?
im using total commander editer....
thanks
because they exist in the rom, meaning even if you did remove them, they would come back when you hard reset. SOme rom files make a copy of themselves that can be deleted (till next hard reset) but some dont.
^^^^
thanks im on the stock tmo rom 2.13
try this
reformat your sd card/ get a new one and the preloaded stuff wont be there.. well some of it the movies are on the sd i know cause you lose them if you reformat your stock sd card ... then you can run a program like clean temp or something i forget its on omarket, and delete dead quick links and delete it it from the \device\windows\start menu in total comandrer should be good to go

My help files are taking up quita lot of RAM in my Windows folder - would they still work if placed on SD card, similar to how Memaid moves DLL's ??
I moved all help files to SD card and placed a shortcut of the help folder where it was and it works great.
.....
but why this work? with this solution i gain only 1,2 KB!!!!!!
I tried that... But I can't move all help files in \Windows dir. ( hidden files)
it says.. ROM is protected ( or something like that )
I got around 250 KB free .... not bad I guess...
but if I can remove all help files I'll get around 1 MB
do u have any idea :?:
anybody knows how to delete these read only help files!??
if they're ROM files then they're not taking any room that you can gain back unless you cook your own ROM without them.

wouldn´t I get more storage from the ROM?
not from the ROM - you can't shrink the rom except by making a new rom, which AFAIK isn't possible yet on Magician. Best bet for space is to use cabinst to install all programs to Storage/Storage Card, and use MemMaid etc to move many dlls to Storage, and use BigRom hack for extra space. That'll make you much more than a few k from the HTML files.

Already got bigstorage. MenMaid is worth a look. thx!

in spb backup, you can selesct what you want to backup. if you want to backup your entire phone memory and microsd memory you can. you then specify the save location (specify microsd location) and its done after a few minutes.
when you receive your new pdaphone, just double click the cab file in the microsd and the restore process will begin. Just ensure that your new replacement has the same ROM as the one you have backed up from.
I'm a noob myself, but I will swear by this program. I have had to do a few hard resets with my TyTN and have loaded a specific back up day and voila...everything was great again.
I didn't notice that anything was missing. And heck...even if there was something missing, I didin't feel it.
Ok, but the memory on the microsd card? not the whole sd card right... but the stuff on the phone like any files and what have you that will sync correct... lastyly there isn't a cab file it is a WCE file. just making sure because that is what it made...
oh and one more thing... do you use the unpackage tool from the pc or just use the file on the micro device and place it in the new phone...
in spb backup, you can backup your entire phone with all the settings and apps etc as well as all your files on the microsd card.
spb backup should create a .cab file. to restore, you simply click that cab file and the restore process will begin

Maybe I am crazy but I don't think it does the cab thing... and the file it saved is only 15 megs big... I know my sd card has about 800 megs on it...
can't be that small of a back up could it?
nope, something is seriously wrong.
800mb cannot be compressed into 15megs

lol lmao... I knew that sounded wierd as heck... but, I don't think it backs up the card. I think just the device onto the card. I don't think this backup program would back up a card because you would have to back it up through the pc... that is not what this does.
my version of spb backup backs up all files - phone mem and sdcard, and places the cab file on he sd card.
not sure which version you have, mine is the latest
how could it compress the file of the storage card and place it on there. If I have a gig card and have used 900 megs... what size file would this possibly create to back up the card and the device. 900 megs is a lot. I am thinking minimum I dunno 300 megs. perhaps 600 megs. Where would this posibbly go to. not the storage device. SPB backup?
OH GEEZ/... I appologize... I am MORON... I was using the full backup selection ASSuMING it meant full back up including card. LOL... NOPE.. you have to choose custom... ahhh so silly.
now I have to remove the musica on the card... but really right now i don't need to deal with the card huh...
also... do you use WMP sync with WMP 11 on the pc... I need to reset my sync... I will post to my other thread so you can see what I mean... it will be at the top.
I have never successfully restored a phone with any of the backup programs availible.
They always miss something (like owner configuration, phone config, e-mail settings and so on..)
i have always done full backup included the sd-card. My reason for doing this was that I were the projectleader for buying and configuring 10 Hermes phones to my Boss's that would look the same, and then be able to restore everything in a flash..
although, this didn't work very good, i went fine as long as I used the backup on my phone, but when trying it on another phone (same model, same rom etc. ) some things would be restored and some weren't
so , just be careful, it might not go well, but then again , it might go very well.
I've never understood the logic behind SPB Backup. From what I understand, it's supposedly possible to back up the entire device, including the SD card, however, from the trial version that I used, it was not possible to save this file on the PC when connected with ActiveSync. So the problem is, if one has a full storage card, and wants to back up their entire device including the storage card, where could the output backup file be stored?
I use SPB Backup and I dont know why I would want to include my storage card in the backup. If I want to back up my storage card I just put it in a cardreader or use sync and copy the entire card over to a directory on my computer. If your device crashes or you just need to do a hard reset, programs installed on your storage card will not be effected. If you have a backup that works, all you need to do is restore from that file. Any program that was installed on your storage card will work fine as ong as you still have the card in your device.
Worked flawlesly... Thanks so much... but I think the card back up is just smarter to just put the whole card on the computer then take it back off...

This is true, but for the same reason, SPB is not a complete backup solution. Do you backup your storage card every time you back up your device internal memory? I have many files that I store on my storage card that are working files - that is, they change in content frequently. Included is an 80Mb SQL Mobile replicated database file. I have actually had a program corrupt my SD card at one point - such that I had to restore it (I did have a manual backup of this, but it was out of date).
At the moment, I still do SD card backups manually anyway, and just use Activesync for incremental backups every time I connect, because it's basically the same as using SPB, and saves having to use a 3rd part program to swap and copy files.
When restoring from Activesync, all I need to do is a soft reset, do a forced refresh of PIM data (contacts, tasks, appointments) from the PC, and everything else is fine. The only thing I find necessary is, after a hard reset, to soft-reset my device on the first 'boot' before the 3 second auto-installation. I don't use a cooked ROM because the programs I like to have on my PPC change all of the time.
Clarify
Just to clarify for me as I am a noob to WM5 and HTC.
If I use SPB to backup EVERYTHING except my SD card (which I can manually backup whenever and often using a card reader and PC), I will have a single CAB file with all settings.
So if I do a Hard Reset and lose everything, then before the 3-sec auto installs from the service provider I do a Soft reset to stop those. Then I run the backup CAB file and supposedly everything will be back to the way it was...meaning all registry hacks, email accounts setup, user info, today screens, ringtones, and other installs like previously installed jars and other cabs I had before.
Is this an acurate description of the SPB program?
Well let me just say this site is really fab! I have learnt so much from viewing on here.. thatnks
Being the absolute plonker I am , I did a hard set , taking my sd card out, thinking that would save my tomtom and sat nav but alas it has gone! the maps and files are still all on my card. BUt on the mini it has gone. is there any apps that will make it work again?
well just to catch u up to speed..... upon reflection.. when I look on the sd card all the stuff is still there. app, maps, license, ...... it is just not in the program list on my mini.. how can I get it back to there?thanks
qhen u first installed it, did u install to ur sd card, or to ur phone? If u installed to ur phone, then u cant get it back, if u installed to ur sd, den maybe only da shortcut is missing. Try opening the tomtom file somewhere in ur sd (most likely a file ending in .exe), and maybe it'll work.
when I first installed it i did so to the sd card. I have tried the app in the sd storage and it starts then shuts down. I must have erased a link to it from the phone.. or a driver..
at least I know it is still there. just need to figure out how to get the program into the phone somehow.. any suggestions?
Not dealt with TomTom, but as you have maps and license already, maybe this thread will help.
Backup your card as it is and then follow this thread. I know its for a different phone but the base WM is the same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338469
the app itself is erased, no matter whereto you install it, some files are always written to your internal memory (to the windows directory). so you have to reinstall the app again!!!! just run the cabfile in folder 2577 again
Yep! that will do. (unless you have deleted it cause it bugged you everytime you reset your phone) DOH! Smiles.
I have done it!!!
i went into the 2577 on my card and reinstalled the cab to the device..
fab!!
I love it when things go right.. that and I am a stubborn ass and would have spents endless nights getting it to work... ahhhhhhh.. thanks to you all...xxx
heloo folks. does the tomtom that could be use on the wizard hace realtime navigation, i mean while driving will i see that icon that represents my local moving on the map?
I was looking for a exe in the windows dir, when i came across some cabs to panels (SE, mxp etc)
if u delete these it should free up some space.
i cant see it effecting the phone as these are cabs
Am i right?
you can try to move 1 of them to your sd card if you can't they're in the rom and can't be deleted and as such will not free up space even if you cooked a new rom without them

Hey all, I have Puzzle quest warlords for windows mobile, normally when I rom upgrade I dont worry about wiping and so.. but I think now I would. Would hate to lose my saved game. Does anyone know where thats backed up to or how to restore that fully? Thanks.
go to gile explorer and look on device or storage card in programs mate you prob find it all in there as a guess, maybe even the windows folder
Thats what I thought too, I checked program files, I see the game folder, but not sure if that holds the save file, looks all like game data to me. Checked a couple other places too, so thats why I was wondering if anyone has some ideas. =)

There's a My Saved Games folder in My Documents in your device memory. That's where all bejeweled and bookworm data is saved. I know it doesn't save there for all games though. Maybe your best bet if you can't find it there is to copy all the folders for the game you can find.

I've just flashed my ROM and I also had the same game as you installed. However, after flashing and a HR, I re-installed the game and I was pleasantly surprised to find that my progress was still saved. I originally installed the game to SD card so it must have auto backed up.

Issue is, the Marketplace didnt let me install it to the SD card. So my guess is. Maybe Ill backup the folder and restore it, see what happens, if it fails then sad panda. =/ Didnt see any saved folder for games tho.
Saves and preferences for most apps can be in Application Data or My documents, usually on internal memory if it was installed there or Storage card if you installed here.

You can configure MarketPlace to save apps to SD card. Just select menu at lower right corner of screen then settings. Here you can set the default storage location. Hope this helps.
Ok well I updated from Jun 11 to Jun 19th (Energy rom) and the marketplace shows sd card for install now. (Didnt before)
Also the files for puzzle quest are in the program files folder. puqugd.rs and puqugf.rs I restored just those 2 files and all was good. =)
