Installing apps

Hi,
I was wondering. Can u only install apps with activesync, or can u also install from the sd card?
I'm new to pocket pcees, and i work with apple computers. Activesync does not run on them.
Also i was wondering were is the file were my contacts are stored, and can i copy this file from the device to my sd card in it?
My parents do own a pc, but it would be cool if i could install and back up things without it.
Tenx guys and gals

You can install from the SD Card. One way is to put the *.CAB file on your card open explorer click the cab file and it will install. I think the path will stay wih the Card though ( Correct me if I'm wrong here someone) so the app will be on the card as aposed to the device.

Ok tenx,
Is it bad if the app is installed on the sd card?

From what has been posted, the install mechanism is completely replaced in WM5. The install routine will always ask where you wish to install apps on the device itself, like happens on Symbian smartphones.
So installing from SD should be no problem at all.

Ok tenx for the info guys!

Oh yea , forgot e bit where it asks !! Thanks

i;m soo sry
i didnot encrypted my files but that appears when i installed the new rom

TheCHAMPJT is correct, you"re files have been encrypted by the built in program in the rom. You should be able to unlock it again using the same program (under settings) provided you haven't and DON'T reflash your rom on your phone. That will make problems much worse.

why didnt you follow the age old rulle and take out all the cards in the phone?

Easy... Read the forums and learn to spell.

You can only install app onto your sd card if you are
1) rooted phone
2) have apps2d
By the fact you cant spell the name of the phone right, with 2 attempts,
I guess you have no idea what rooted is,
so the answer is, you can't!
Btw, DESIRE! It on the forum title

ive got a sd problem too. i ever used the same 16gb class2 microsd card tu run android builds and store winmo and android data. last night ive tried to switch from darkstone to matcc android build. i reformatted the sd card, put the files on it (only android folder nothing else) and started android. everything was fine but i´ve got a bsod(radio 2.12.50_2 and german stock vodafone rom). then ive tried another android build but i got the same error(doesnt ever got bsod before). later android didn start at all(every build). then ive tried chuckys rom with matcc vers. 1.5 and ive got the bsod problem again. tried 2 other builds and now andriod doesnt start and i cant even connect my hd2 to my pc(bootloader doesnt connect too) but chucky rom boots correctly. everytime ive tried another build i reformatted my sd card to fat32. hope someone can help me, sorry for bad english.

i got this problem now too. android somehow writeprotected my sd card so i can't put files on or take files off anymore...it's basicallly made my 16gb card useless. can't format or anything. tried through windows mobile, pc, and android...nothing works. anybody know how to fix it?

Same thing happened to me. My class 2 16gb card is now locked and ive found no way to unlock it.
Not that I really liked that card anyway, but it was nice to have so much storage space.

thats no problem. On your adapter for your micro sd card, there is a lock on the side of it. Make sure that it is in the up position. Basically in the unlock position, then it wont be write protected.

No, your not understanding. Its not the physical lock on the adaptor, its a logical lock on the Micro SD itself.
The Micro SD card comes up as locked no matter what I use to try and format, or delete etc.
I've googled like mad trying to find a way to fix it even installing Ubuntu to see if another OS could do it, but everything fails.

Same here I came to a conclusion. That there are some files in the SD card....what was the last buid u were using before this happened...the best solution. For this should be with an android. Phone and astro file management explore the SD card...unlucky. me none of my friends have an android device

lemme try that...i formatted it through my computer and unchecked "quick format" and after like 30 minutes it finished with an error.. hopefully this works.

gparted
ok..
whats wrong with just formating the card with ' GPARTED ' .. assumption of Linux usage !
or if you use that sloppy old microsoft O/S then use 'paragon partition manager '
job done yea?

storage tool for wm
Ok

dr_derqami said:
Download " storage tool" for wm. Install it. Send shortcut to start up so that as soon as wm boots it ll find the sd card. When u get storage tool workin u ll have options choose formate or fix the sd then it ll work. It worked for me.

well formatting it through cmd didn't work...everything was still there on the card. lemme try your method now... thanks.

delete file by file and see which one is locked on the card.
change permissions on the sd card.
try to delete files from the winmo
try to overwrite the android folder and start it with another build and then format after a sucessfull start.

yea.. i used mattcleo 1.6b. i can actually still boot up android...but even in android i can't delete anything using astro. I tried replacing android folder using a card reader but that didnt work either... i'm going to try that storage tools suggestion..but i doubt anything will work. CMD finished and said that the disk was unreadable after finishing 99%.

Ok

Sounds like corrupted sectors or damaged disk to me
Put the card into a windows pc and run scandisk on the card, make sure you check : fix errors automatically and scan for bad sectors

How do I remove SD lock on Yukie ROM?

Hey dear all,
I was one of the first one to install Yuki's Mango ROM...today I tried to unlock my SD card with a Nokia phone to no avail. Its asking for a password.
Whats the easiest way to unlock my SD card now?

So
you will use your sd card in another phone ?
I prefer miniTool partition wizard, it's easy, free program for windows.
Just plugin your sd card into computer, open this program, delete all partition, add new "Fat32", label primary, and all space for FAT32, then hit enter and plug out

thanks but the card is locked....how does my computer recognize it?
I have an old Nokia phone but it won't format the card because it says I need a password...a password that I do not have.
I need to completely delete everything on it or else my SD card is useless. I can't use it anywhere.

Your pc will just see, that sd card is blocked or sth.
But dont worry, just open the program.
Every time i change wp7 to android i use this.
Sry for my poor english

Just ignore password request and you'll get the option to format the card, just as simple as this mate
P.S. Another opportunity is to install DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab through the WP7-Update-Cab-Sender within Yuki's ROM and then choose to unlock the card

Thanks guys. For whatever reason my PC doesn't find it...and my Nokia won't let me format it. Unfortunately I don't have the Yuki rom anymore. Now it's on stock rom...maybe I'm doing something wrong ? :-S
