Extended ROM and WM 6.0

I've installed Indra's WM6.0 ROM and everything looks promising.
I used to use the EXT ROM to install programs rather than installing them on storage card as I use different memory cards. But now with the new 6.0 ROMs, it won't allow me to install any programs or save any files.
I tried to search for it but couldn't find any info. If anyone can enlighten me on how to save or install programs on EXT ROM as a regular memory card, I would be grateful.

i just used the extrom unlocker as usual and it presents me with the option during setups that support installing not on internal storage (midget's wm6 rom)

Hi!
For my experience: you can up another old ROM, use ExtROM unlock then up again with WM06, it will be use Extended Rom.

extrom is unlocked by default in the current 3 crossbow releases

I know that it's been unlocked but it seems like we cannot save files or programs into it.
Can anyone confirm that if I load an older ROM and install a new one, I'll be able to save files in it.
TIA

I'm using Midget_1990 and installed a lot of programs in the storage (Ext Rom) with no probs

Software installation to Micro SD

Just curious....certain software install directly to my phone memory & i'm running out of memory now e.though my SD have 4GB. is there any s.ware out there which can force the software installation to SD instead of phone memory.....

That's weird. Do you have a cooked ROM?
Normally it should ask you where you want to install...

Well, there are certain software do not ask. And there are certain software that do not work when installed on the SD.

Well then, if there are programs that won't work from the SD...why would you want to force the install there ?

You can install everything on the SD. The apps that need to be installed on the main memory will either display a message for you, or install directly to the memory.

SKTools has an option for moving an application from main memory to SD or from SD to main mem, although I have never tested it.

where is it? can tell me?

Problem with applications

Hi guys,
I've got problem with my elf. I've got some cabs on my storage card and when I'm trying to install them, there's a question about localization for this applications. When I'm checking box at 'storage card' my elf's trying to install it on phone (it's trying to install it on phone, no matter what I've checked), where's only 11 mb free. Why I can't install aplications on storage card?
Card is free in 63%.
Btw. I don't know or is it important, but my OS is 5.2.1620
Thanks in advance

Sorry for my bad English

Have you tried a hard reset?
Sometimes Windows Mobile..
You know.

I even change soft (onyx ultimate) and still same problem...

Try Onyx Micro, see how it goes.

Still same. Maybe sth in registry?

Have you tried changing microSD cards?
Make sure they are not write protected.

Hellow
Dose this occur with all (or some) programs because some programes are designed to run from main memory and not sd card

Question about upgrading ROM

Hi there,
On my old HTC Diamond I installed everything to phone memory and so when I flashed it I just reinstalled all my apps. However, this time I have installed a large amount of them to the storage card. I don't remember my Diamond's storage card being flashed - so thats not the issue (I will probably remove the card before doing it anyway) - but my question is will my phone still see the installed apps on the memory card and put them in the start menu etc? Or will I be better off just uninstalling everything and re-doing it from scratch?
Also, is the new HTC Rom available in the UK yet?

bump?
surely someone can tell me

Check your HTC site in the UK to answer your own question.
Perhaps you should read more about how a flash works before you try with your HD2. Think of it this way: You have two hard disks in your computer, C and D. With Windows XP on C you installed all your programs on D. Then you decided to install Windows 7 on drive C, which copied over your XP. Do you think that Windows 7 will run the programs in D? The answer is obviously no.
The situation is similar when you flash a new ROM. With a file manager you could see the programs on your storage card, but that is all. You would have to reinstall all the programs for them to work.
Take care and understand everything you really need to know before you do decide to flash.

HTC Website Updates/Hot Fixes.

Hi all,
There are a few updates/hotfixes for the Leo on the HTC website at the moment which I want to download and install. My question: As some of these files are quite large, one is 12mb, where would these files be installed, internal memory or SD card, or will I be given a choice as per cab installation?
Thx for any replies.

Thx for the reply.
I have about 60mb of free memory on my phone at the moment. The updates/hotfixes I've downloaded, 9 files in all, add up to about 32mb. I know I should have probably gradually downloaded and installed these files. Therefore I would prefer to install to SD card. Can anyone see any problems with this, or do these files NEED to be installed direct to the device?
Again thx for any replies.

these updates are not like cabs, and install into the ROM directly replacing previous file, so no extra storage is used up.

Not to mention you could just, take the stuff on your actual phone's memory and shift whatever files you have eating up the ridiculous amount of space the phone has on board to the SD card as well.
System files or updates shouldn't ever go on the SD card unless you're doing rom changing and that's a completely different beast. Reason being for me is that an SD card can mess up over time plus its nice to have reference to the files incase you need them again in the future.
