does anyone know how to share a folder on your Universal

Hi, i have searched the forum for an answer but i had no luck, plenty of threads on how to map a drive of a PC onto your Universal but not the other way round, i have a folder on my SD card that has all my simple system tools for PC in it and i would like to be able to go to a WiFi network and be able to access the folder from any PC regardless of activesync.
I hope i didn't make my request too confusing but im sure you will know what i mean because it would be very usful
Thank you so much for your time on replying in advance

The best software for you is WM5torage.
By Ingvarr:This program will export the flash memory card as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary "usb disk") - effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. It works with many (not all) Smartphones and PDAs on the market that use WM5 as OS.
Latest version is v1.53 - it's free , fully working Mass Storage Software working with WM5.0 :
You can find previous version here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45411 or new after some changes here:

Thats Brilliant, thank you so much for your reply, but i don't think i didn't explane it right, i already have a program for doing the USB mass storge,its called 'Card Export 2', its brilliant and so fast, but thats not what im looking for because you still have to physicly plug your phone in to a PC, i want to be able to 'SHARE' a folder on my phone, i.e Mydevice\my document\STUFF, just like you do on a PC, and then be able to run/edit/copy/paste stuff in that folder from another PC using WiFi, so in other when i go into work and connect my phone to the network using WiFi i want to be able to go to any desktop and access my files on my phone without wires, i.e in explorer type-
\\myphone\stuff
('myphone' being the name of my device & 'stuff' being the shared folder on my phone)
have i made it any clearer?
please let me know if im not making myself clear

hi jab1a,
in the past i was also dreamin about a solution you have described. in the meantime i have learned by other posts that this is not possible as providing drives or folders as a network ressource is not implemented in windows mobile. so no way of getting an easy solution for that. but in other cases wm5torage works very well for me until somebody has worked out a way for wireless sharing of folders.
best regards

Hi,
I use a piece of software called V m Network Browser. lets you copy and paste files and play files over the wifi network.
Great app
its shareware but small price for a good piece of software.
hope this helps

hi nightspider,
thanks for your input. just one question left: is this software running on your desktop/server pc and it allows to play around with files on your mobile device or do you run the software on your mobile device and play around with files on your desktop/server pc?
greetings
peter

It was small misunderstanding from me :wink: . So maybe ( not tested on WiFi) idea of the ftp server on PDA :?: ?
You cand find ShareIt FTP( no shure if working on WM5.0 :?: ) http://www.noisette-software.com/products/pocketpc/ShareIt/

Hi peter_altherr
Yes it runs on the Pocket pc nothing needed on the desktop pc apart from the shared folders

Tomtom Navigator and Map V605 help plzzz.

Hello, I have a legal tomtom v 5.21 installed on my BA. till now i was using a v562 map and ordered the latest cd of european & gb maps from the tomtom site. I got the Cd and I had run the whole setup on from my computer, followed all the instructions of adding GB / france maps onto my 2gb mmc card and it copied everything on the sd card and gave the msg Installation complete.
Now when i switch tomtom ON - on my ppc, it displays me an empty screen, i mean a greyed screen with a + ad - icons on the top left n right side and all gray i dont know y.
I tried to switch to my old map and it works fine, but when i tried to swtich onto the new one, it doesnt. I even tried to install the GB plus map tht came on the CD and it still appears gray. Can someone please help me, y is this happening, is there something wrong that i did. I mean i just followed the instructions on the cd.
cheers

Try deleting currentmap.dat from \my documents\tomtom and then run with the new maps again.
did you copy your Great_Britain_Plus-Map.cfg from your old map folder into your new map folder?

nop mate, i didnt copy the .cfg file. ill try it out today, do you want me to copy or not to copy. cheers

Install the new map, copy the old Great_Britain_Plus-Map.cfg file into the new folder - you may need to rename it because the configuration file should match the name of the map folder so if the map folder is Great_Britain_Plus_Map the configuration file should be Great_Britain_Plus_Map.cfg or if you map folder is Great-Britain-Map then your configuration file should be Great-Britain-Map.cfg
In my experience it is well worth deleting currentmap.dat from the \my documents\tomtom this file doesn’t contain anything of interest it seems to just remember the name and location of the map you last used, although it has just accrued to me that I don’t think this is causing your problems as this would normally cure a “map not found” error message!
To check that you have got the configuration file name correct run TomTom and then check that there is only one .cfg in the map folder, if there are two then you have made a mistake with the name.
The configuration file contains, favourites, history, home location and GPS setup
Hope this makes sense, difficult to explain on here!! 

Cheers Bluetba for the help, It worked but in a very diff way. I copied the map again on the the SD card, deleted the currentmap.dat file, but then tomtom wasnt able to pik up the map, u know when you get the map choice and you select the relevant map, tomtom got stuck there.
Lucky, i copied the currentmap.dat back to tomtom folder, then ran tomtom again, selected the map V605 and it worked perfect, dono whts wrong, but it shows me everything perfect.
But is V605 perfectly working, i read 2-3 comments that its not suitable, doesnt plan perfect. dono if you know abt it.. cheers anyway mate

Glad you got it working, bit strange though!
I had no problems with V605, well othing obvious that I can remember anyway and I use TomTom alot, and I would rather have an upto date road map than anything else anyway.
I am using V671 and that has an error in my area that has been introduced into this version, strange really but I did read somewhere that map makers introduce errors so that they can identlfy which version is which and where they came from.
Glad your sorted
Cheers

hahaha, i was reading a post where one of the users mentioned that he was going to manchester via the long flyover in birmingham.... and tomtom said - go straight - which meant, to smash into the concrete divider and fall down.. hahahah... strange..
well bluetba, do u know how can i add addresses to my contacts, i meant contact navigation. I cant see any program or icon on how to add address details to the contact. Cheers mate

How to manage RAM without a new ROM?

My Wallaby (with Windows PPC 2002) is too central to my life for me to risk losing it by daring to flash it with a new ROM. This means that new tools, ringtones and things have to go into its mere 32 MB of RAM. On the other hand, this RAM is also cluttered up with "skins", sounds and things (including a version of Windows Media Player that has always resolutely refused to work) that Microsoft, HTC et al. have decided I must have. Mostly if I try to delete them, either using its native File Explorer, or via the cradle with Explorer from my computer (Windows XP Pro SP2, local adminstrator account on the PC), I get an error message, "File in use or write protected", that sort of thing, i.e. I'm not allowed to delete them.
Can anyone help me with the following?
- An explorer tool which will let me see and change attributes and permissions where necessary, and delete unwanted files from RAM?
- Any information on possible Windows PPC 2002 equivalents of accounts, local, administrator, etc.? My unsuccesful attempts to delete files have a distinctly "not local administrator" feel.
Another thing that would be marvellous, would be the option to use the (currently 128 MB) SD card as a sort of hard drive, i.e. to put large executables on to that and start them with something like a shortcut, so that they only load into RAM when they're actually needed. Can anyone tell me any more about whether this is possible, and if so how?
Thanks to all in advance.

you cant delete files in rom of the device and even if you could it would not add more program memory or storage on wallay you can only access the rom at flashtime
and at all other times it's readonly and dont take up any of the ram of your device

Thanks for your reply, Rudegar, but I'm looking to delete things from RAM, for instance \\device\program files\windows media player\*.* Am I wrong to think all this stuff loaded from ROM into RAM after the last cold reset?

Oops, I just discovered I can delete the files mentioned above (and did), from the native File Explorer. However, when I tap and hold \\device\windows\player (the media player executable, presumably player.exe) the "delete" option is greyed out in the context menu.

total commander is way better then file explore

I installed Total Commander, with thanks to Rudegar, and to Lumpistefan for being able to use his site as a hop. It's certainly a better tool for file management, but I'm not yet able to delete files I want to.
Roaring guitar.wav is a sound I particularly hate, and a colleague at work is already using it as his ringtone. Therefore there is no way I want to keep that ringtone in RAM. Total Commander lets me see the attributes, which are Read only, System (and in ROM, grey of course). It seems as if I can "greytick" and untick Read only and System, but when I come back to the file these attributes are there again. If I try to delete Roaring guitar.wav using Total Commander I get the message "Warning! Could not delete 1 file(s)!".
As I said, all this has a very "not local administrator" feel to it.
I tried searching the registry for "roaring" but the string was not found. I also cautiously experimented with switching the values of the following keys between 0 and 1:
HKLM\ControlPanel\AdminPassword\Group
HKLM\ControlPanel\Password\Group
but neither had any discernible effect on the behaviour described. Of course Roaring guitar.wav is just an example (and no offence meant to my colleague), I would like to remove a number of sounds and wallpapers I'll never use, and free up some more of my poor Wallaby's hard-pressed 32 MB RAM for everyday use.
Does anyone know how I could do it?

Hate to tell you this, but if TC says the file is in ROM, its in ROM and you can not delete it.
I am not familiar with Wallaby in particular but I guess the file your are attacking is not copied in to RAM. No reason to do so.
Windows Mobile was never designed for multiple users so no 'local / remote' administrator and stuff. Just trust me when I say this, if you can't delete it - it is in ROM.
There are two programs I can recommend:
MemMaid - it will show you exactly what is clogging up your RAM and automatically clean out what it can.
CabInstl - this little free app will let you choose where to install programs so you can put most of your apps on the SD.
Also in ActiveSync, when asked if to install to default location select 'NO' and you will get an option to install to SD.
One more hint:
You can keep all your themes, including the one you are currently using on the SD. Once you selected and installed the theme the *.tsk file is no longer needed.
When my iPaq was my only and primary PPC I also struggled with 32MB RAM (total). I kept everything on my trusty 512MB SunDisk except what I needed on startup.

Help With TomTom

Right so i have my Touch HD and i have installed TomTom 7 following instructions:
bmcconalogue said:
Can't help you with the freeware (aside from Google Maps, and the missus reading the instructions out loud, or maybe a map!)
To get TTN7 working (this is legally):
Go to this thread to get the link to 7.915 which works on the Touch HD.
In case you haven't installed stuff before:
Connect your Touch HD via ActiveSync
Copy the cab file to your touch (anywhere, I keep cabs I'm gonna install in a folder on microSD card)
On your HD click the cab to open and follow the instructions. I installed to the microSD card and it works fine, but people on here have said it works installed on the device too - whatever floats your boat)
Try running TomTom to check it works (you'll get a warning about having no maps, but it should give you the option to download a mall city map. I got the London map which only took a few seconds to download).
I'd then unplug the HD for the moment. Download the latest version of TTHome (this always give the latest version)
Before connecting your Touch you have to doctor TTHome to recognise the HD. Thanks to Noiz for helping me out here:
Go to C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME 2\xul\chrome and paste this over the contents.
Now you can plug your HD into your PC and TTHome will recognise it.
Finally in TomTom Home or the website buy the maps you want (the USA maps are still down for TTN7 last time I checked, but you can get full Europe, and lots of others still, and traffic and speed camera subscriptions).
Once you've bought them they'll appear in TTHome. It shouldn't (after the Noiz fix) say the map isn't compatible, but it won't install it. It should let you download it, it will go to the download directory (you can set that in TTHome options). Simply go there, extract the zip file to the root of your storage card with a folder the same name as the zip file. Extract the cab file that begins activation in the same folder.
You can now download new cars, voices, mapshare updates, speed camera subscriptions.
Sorry if I've written any of this wrong, in front of a different machine with none of this installed so doing it all from memory and glancing at bookmarked pages.
(None of this work is my doing, I have just got some hints from people on the way and combined it onto one post). All thanks to them!

so i have got to the part where i have added my free map, but i have a quick question before i continue - can i move the maps i have downloaded to a new memory card or will i have to redownload / buy them?
as im using a 512mb card at moment as mine didnt arrive with its 8gb card

you should be OK using a different card, because TomTom uses Device ID (switching Phones wouldn't work) not Card ID
anyone know differently?

okay thank you for the help - i just wanted to make sure before i go any further

[Q] TomTom Navigator 7

I have a new copy of TomTom Navigator 7 and want to use it on my HTC HD Mini. It was supplied on a 4GB card but as I've got a 16GB card installed in the phone I've copied the contents over.
Originally I fitted the memory card they sent me into the phone but it kept reporting that this version was not compatible with this phone.
How did others manage to get this working on the HD mini...

Roy_s
If you use "search feature", you'll find a lot of post about Tomtom...
The official version is not compatible with HDmini, you have to look for another software version, modified...

Thanks for the reply, I did read some of the other posts but thought that they had managed to get the new version to work. I've used an older version (WM5) on an older HTC phone for a few years. The HD mini being the newer 6.5 you'd have thought it would work and still be compatible........

Roy_s
Like you , i've been disappointed to notice that Tomtom is unable to sell a correct version for a new mobile like HDmini while you can find one easily on the net .
I have asked them about this without correct answer at that moment !

I did the same, they can't even say when it will be tested or even if it is on the list to be tested with this phone.
I've since found the file ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab and will try running that to see if it then allows me to run the installation.

If im right, im still using this version succesfully:
TTN_7.916.9192_QVGA_black_fixed_BT
You need the QVGA version with the Bluetooth fix, or else you will get errors.

Yes did see a post about TTN_7.916.9192_QVGA_black_fixed_BT but someone reported the GPS lagged. Have tried to search for that file but can't find a site that allows me to download it.
Still need to confirm the installation steps, do I run the cab first then install Navigator 7 or are there other files that I need to copy over..?

No problem, I have purchased the latest Navigator 7 from TomTom, just need help from everyone to get their software working.....

The cab is Navigator 7 (TTN=TomTom Navigator). I can't imagine you can't find the file after a thorough google search...
Yes, there is some GPS lag. This can be solved by installing GPSmod driver:

Tomtom7 working perfectly in hd mini.
Hello, is more 'than a year I use tomtom 7 - although I prefer (IGOPRIMO1.2) per hour with only ris.480X272 - TTS, but much more detailed than the TomTom. I'm leaving screenshot .... screenshot4 in particular. Here's the data that I use TOMTOM WORKING PERFECTLY! Else can not .........
P.S. my vers. not to install but copy / paste to SD card. Start navigator.exe.

The only copy is on a Dutch share site that you need to be a member to download, tried a number of variations of the name but nothing labelled as BT fix.
So I tried ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab which I loaded to the phone memory. It found my map on the memory card and it asks for the activation code but then returns message saying its not valid..?
It's a legal map (Western_Europe_1GB) & code I purchased so should not be a problem.
Maybe I should delete all of the files that TomTom sent me on the SD card and just put the map on there in case their Navigator 7 files are causing the problem.

In fact .... I tried that (cab) you say ..... but does not work. You have to find a zip file, where there is only one folder. you just have to (COPY IN SD CARD) exe = navigator.exe. no installation on device! Then you have to validate your map.
p.s.To run you must first validate the MAP. by the code of your device you need the code for tomtom. the code of the device (it IDENTIFYING YOUR PHONE) is one that I deleted on screenshot4.

Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure I understand fully.
The cab I have loaded (ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab) you say does not work, which one did you use & where can I get it?
I can't find any file called navigator.exe either in the phone or on the memory card or the SD card that TomTom sent me.

Hello. You can not tell you more, because it violates copyright laws ......
I try to make you understand:
1. tomtom program:
time ago I tried (ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab) but I had problems .... then turning the net I found a file.zip. Inside a folder (Navigator). if you find that you just file.zip estract in sd card root. start *. exe. The version that I use are in screenshot4.
2 then you have to unlock the MAP,
ie have the license (serial number that you derive from your serial device). Your serial device appears when you start tomtom for the first time. (registration map).
I hope you understand.

Thanks for the reply, my version is a purchased copy from TomTom so I'm not violating anything I'm just trying to get it to work. The steps I've done so far are:-
Loaded TomTom 7.916.9192 QVGA black bt.cab
> Bttrayce error reported at boot up, deleted files BtCoreIf.dll & BtSdkCE30.dll, rebooted phone
> No error message
> Run Navigator, "Western_Europe_1GB map has not been activated" message
> Entered code from TomTom, message to say "Activating"
> Error "Activation failed. Sorry this is not a valid map activation code for Western_Europe_1GB"
The map is valid, it was supplied on a memory card with the activation code by TomTom, I have only copied the map to the memory card in the phone, none of the other files on the card supplied by TomTom.
I seem to have got over the Navigator installation problem but can't get the map to activate...? Its like this cab is not compatible with the latest map I have.

I have got TomTom v7 working on the HD mini.
As this was a purchased copy I contacted TomTom support and they manually activated the map, I loaded their activation file and all working.
I have noticed a little lag, not by much, but if I compare to an older phone running TomTom my new version seems to be 10 to 20 meters behind....?
Is this the GPS lag that others have pointed out, is there a latest patch to correct this...?
Not tried the home application yet either.
