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

Is there any way I can make Windows detect or recognize programs on the storage card after a rom update? without having to reinstall them again..?
thanks!
of course you cant, you have to install them once again.
depends, if it will run from the storage card simply make new shortcuts, depends how many u have to do and how easy to hand the cab files are i guess
i usually keep all my cab files in a "cabs" folder on my sd card incase i need to redo my phone if i'm away from my pc. it helps if i'm at work and it starts acting up.
It also might not be a bad idea to keep a backup of your wizard on the sd card with just the programs (and if you havean exchange server) already installed on it, that way a quick, fresh start doesn't involve a lot of work.

Any program on the storage card will run after the ROM update as long as it is not one that needs to write registry changes or dll's to the registry itself.
I have approximately 50 apps installed to my storage card. After doing a ROM flash/upgrade, I only have to reinstall around 10 of them. You'll just need to try launching each one from the card to see if it will work without reinstalling to find out which ones will work and which ones won't.
well i wanted to know because i just recently upgraded to nbd 7.0 and some programs i want isnt detecting in htc home plugin...
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.

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?
Hi, i am a new user for android OS. And one day i wants to install some apps in SD card, but doesnt now what to do first. i try to do something myself, but only thing that i do is split the SD card memory, and now some space from my sd card memory is not avaiable. Can so9meone can say what to do first... to install some apps in SD and install some unofficial 2.1 android version on tattoo.
P.S. - I am latvian and not know the English language perfectly, so maybe that is the reason because i dont understand what to do first...

Download AppMonster or Astro from the market. These will allow you to copy apks to your SD card. But note, you can't run apps from your SD card, you can only swap them in and out of memory.

HI first id like to say thanks to all the people who develloped this software for my blackstone its given my old phone a wonderfull lease of life.
I am new to this whole scene so if my question seems a little stupid please let me know.
I have the 2.2 Froyo version installed (I think) and all is working wonderfully apart from the camera but i never use that anyway oh and the ability to change wall paper just reverts the wallpaper back to the origional. but again thats not a problem.
But i have a question. Is it possible to install my apps to my sd card ? i want to try a few apps ive downloaded but im running out of space on my internal memory i would like to install apps to run of my sd like in winmo is this possible?
Any help would be much appreciated
And again thanks for this wonderfull software

I haven't tried this so don't know if it works on our blackstones, but apparently with 2.2 you can now move installed apps to your SD Card if the app has been written to support that feature. Read more - http://www.androidtapp.com/android-...-sd-card-feature-in-android-2-2-requires-you/
any updates on this? i tried to use the provided solutions but i lost the access to mai blackstone sdcard....
there is this free app on the market. search app 2 SD.
this will show what apps that can be moved to SD card.
Hi sorry for the late reply ive been busy.
I tried App 2 SD and it told me which apps i can move to my sd card, this is good but when you actually try to move the apps it tells me operation failed.
Its not a big problem i just thought it may help in memory use to have apps installed on the memory card like windows mobile.
The data.img is only 256mb and all your app's are stored in that file..If you want to expand the data.img to have more app you either have to do it yourself or modify the rootfs

after you install an app go to application management,select the installed application and there will be a button called move to sd
Hi everyone
I just managed to boot android onto my HD2 and I'm loving it!
Question though: when i install applications from the android market, where do they get stored/installed? Is it in the SD card? Or on the flash memory of the phone... I couldn't seem to find a directory on my sd card that had all the applications I downloaded...
Thanks in advance!
they will get stored in the data file unless it needs some external access and then it will create a folder on the sd card
oh, do you mean that 1GB data.img file?
so it basically does just stay on the SD card then right?
i installed quite a bit of applications, but the data.img file still seems to stay at the same size..?
Yes, exactly. everything will be stored in the 1GB data.img. Unless you download additional stuffs through or within the application, then the application will create a new folder to store them.
To conclude, everything will be stored in your SD card.
great! thanks!
Installing apps
Since the topic is about installation of apps, i'd just like to ask a question about installing apps. I'm new to Android on hd2 and was wondering if they are cab files to install android apps like in WM. And also if there is, how do u install the apps as we can;'t access file explorer in android
Thanks
