mSD not recognised by Outlook + Extended ROM

Hi,
I installed the LVSW (Pro Style) 15/3/07.
I synchronized it with exchange, and when going through the options to shove all the attachments onto the microSD card.
Although it [options] only displays that there's only 2.76mb free - IT'S 1GB card with over 700MB free. Could this have something to do with Extended Rom being available? [I installed the 3DES.1 ROM before and unlocked Extended Rom].
Question 2:
Now that Extended Rom is open - I want to delete some of the things on there, that I will never use - like Operator specific programs. Although I don't have permissions ?!

1. - This can be changed by changing the Ext ROM directory in the Registry to say Storage Card 2... as the inbox application searches for the first available Storage it doesnt give you an option...
2. use HTweakC application to unhide and allow write access to the ext_rom... but you must have either installed Olipro's patched driver or SuperCID'ed your device to have write permissions...

great - thank you.
for now - i've disabled the 'extended', and it's all back to normal - although I'll look into deleting some files off there this weekend.
thanks

Your instructions say:
1. - This can be changed by changing the Ext ROM directory in the Registry to say Storage Card 2... as the inbox application searches for the first available Storage it doesnt give you an option...
I'm using Total Commander to attempt to edit this value in the registry, but can't locate it. Tried searching for "Ext ROM" and "ExtROM". Where in the registry can the Ext ROM directory name be changed to Storage Card 2?
Thanks much!

SdSentry: fighting against storage card corruption

Hello all,
I've written a watchdog that allows to catch a moment when the storage card is corrupted and softreset before the driver flushes FAT and root folder.
More details are here:
http://www.nixie.narod.ru/sdsentry/index-en.htm
I hope this will help you.
Any feedback is welcome.
I'm online with MSN [email protected] (also it is my email)

BTW, it doesn't matter what brand and size of the storage card is.
I have Kingston 1GB, and _it happens.

Thankyou for your work, Nikolay. It is apreciated.
I have had the software installed for a couple of days, and all is well.

Same here Nickolay, I have already posted a reply to your post at Spb Club forum.
I have your piece of code installed for few days and haven't seen the red icon, yet. Hope never will. Tnx .... as your code can save some nerves

I have tried your program but it keeps throwing up a corruption warning saying that there is an empty directory - Program Files on the storage card (which there is - I guess it is empty because I have no apps installed on the card)
Any suggestions?

Create a file in that folder...

Does anyone know the workaround with the WM5torage program?.....everytime i launch this app the SD-Sentry red icon appears saying that there is a corruption but when i check the storage card its fine.......thanks in advance

WM5torage disables the storage card for the orbit as long as it is active. During that time it is only accessible by the PC. Other programs like Tomtom do not work, because they can't find their data on the card. So does SDsentry.

Dear programmer,
your program seems to be a fine PlugIn for the XDA-Error with destroyed directorys oon the SD-Card.
Unfortunately your program is working in english devices only as it seems.
In german devices where the storage card is named "Speicherkarte" from the german WM5 your program will creating a new folder named "storage card" where it puts its check-files SdSentry.txt into each existing directory. No SdSentry.txt-file in any Dirs on the storage card.
In the dialogwindow of SdSentry the storage card is names "Speicherkarte".
The real storage card is not recogniced and protected in this way, as I assume.
Or did I something wrong?
Will you program a german version of SdSentry too?
I would be very glad about.

because of the described problem, I wrote a mail to the programer of SdSentry.
A solution was coming back immediately, how to install SdSentry im devices with other WM5-languages than english.
The program has a little bug to find the real storage card and creates instead a directory named "storage card" in the root of the device, that contains two directorys named "My Documents" and "Programme". In each of this three folders SdSentry creates a txt-file "SdSentry.txt" for verifiing the directury-structure for accessibility later.
For getting SdSentry working on german devices (analog other languages), copy following files:
\\storage card\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte(or however the name of your real storage card is)\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\My Documents\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\My Documents\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\Programme\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\Programme\SdSentry.txt
After copying the three files, you can delete the folder \\storage card with its subdirs "My Documents" and "Programme"
Since I've did this modifications, SdSentry seems to work well on my german-XDA Orbit.
Hoping it avoids more crashs of my SD-Card.
What a fun sitting in the car and loosing Navi, adresses and all tasks for today out of the HTC. May driving back to office and reinstalling the device.
I won't count how much time cause of this this worthless phone I had loosen last weeks.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Settings

I have a cooked ROM on my phone which works great.
Using the Titanium interface the "pictures" menu always defaults to the internal memory documents and settings and therefor will not see any photos on my storage.
As there is very limited space on the internal memory (enough for about 10pics) i assume there is a reg setting to change it to look at the inbuild 4GB.
Thanks

i've read a post about this on this forum but not sure where so not my doing but you have to put your pictures in the root of your internal storage in a new folder renamed Pictures :: hope this helps works for me

Thanks
That worked great!!!

GoogleMaps Cache moved to Storage Card

Hi all.
First thanks to all in these forums. If not all, then most of my questions about WMxx has been answered here. Thanks to all the chefs for cooking ROMS and thanks to all you fiddlers out there making our software much more usable.
I have the HTC HD2 (Leo) and i´m using GoogleMaps a lot. At the same time i have a lot of software installed, taking up quite a lot of space on internal storage - resulting in low memory warnings from time to time.
Moved email attachments to storage card, now there´s only those annoying 20-something MB of cache from GoogleMaps.
This problem has been presented lots of times, but no answer has been given, so i looked in to it and found a solution.
I modified two files in the app.
The two files GoogleMaps.exe and gmm_setup.dll in "program files\GoogleMaps" needs to be modified as follows:
Search and replace (using a hexeditor):
"cache\cache-GLM.dat" with "\Storage Card\c.dat"
and
"cache\index-GLM.dat" with "\Storage Card\i.dat"
PLEASE use the exact names!
Move the two files cache-GLM.dat and index-GLM.dat from "Application Data\GoogleMaps\Cache" to the storage card (root). Rename them to c.dat and i.dat respectively.
Delete the cache folder in application data\GoogleMaps (leave the "application data\GoogleMaps" folder intact).
You are now good to go, enjoy.
For the lazy ones, i will upload the two modified files as a RAR-file. The files are version 4.1.1, latest version of GoogleMaps for WM. Extract and replace the ones in "Program Files\GoogleMaps"
There are now three files:
GM_EXE_DLL_InternalStorageGMFoldert.rar:
Puts the large cache in Internal Storage under subfolder GM (please create this folder yourself) and the index in appdata\GoogleMaps\Cache (Please create the cache folder again).
GM_EXE_DLL_StorageCardGMFolder.rar:
Puts the large cache in Storage Card under subfolder GM (please create this folder yourself) and the index in appdata\GoogleMaps\Cache (Please create the cache folder again).
GM_EXE_DLL_StorageCardRoot.rar:
Simply does what the original did, puts the two files in Storage Card, root.
For best result, start GoogleMaps, go to settings and clear image/map cache and restart, it will rebuilt the cache. Let me know of any errors, i have tested Storage Card with and without GM folder, but NOT Internal Storage.

YES!
That's what I'm talking about
Many thanks

thnx man........
my diamond has "internal storage" instead of: "storage card"
can you make the modified two files to "internal storage" name
thanks in advance

thanks, works great! used the cab installation. is there a way to put the cache files in a folder in the storage card. at present, they are stored separately in the storage card root.

Modified to other settings
Yes you can modify the files to whatever you like (including subfolders), BUT that requires the address-pointers, virtual pointers etc. to be correctly set (as you would increase the file size, thereby offsetting the internal pointers within the files).
This is not my strong point. I have been reading a bit on it, but haven't fully understood it yet. Perhaps some friendly soul here at XDA would be of help?

ok, it's no biggie for me anyways. thanks once again for this mod.

why you just don't install google maps on the storage card and delete the google maps cache in the internal storage (application data/google maps) ? then the cache will also be on the storage card's application data folder. no need to do all this ...

UPDATE
Hi
Well perhaps that works for you, have read multiple threads on several forums describing that it does not work - do you have a working installation that puts the actual cache-files on the storage card permanently?
Updated the first post regarding subfolder and "Internal Storage".

It works for me and not only in one device but also on my Touch Pro and Touch HD.
I delete the google maps application data folder, and the shortcut in the Start Menu.
May be, it is this : even if you install google maps in the storage card, the other installation (which is in the ROM - internal memry) remains in the device and when you run google maps, you actually run the old program (installed in the internal memory) which creates the cache in the internal memory.
so - may be - if you delete first the shortcut in the start manu (and the application data folder) , and then install google maps in the srorage card, so the shortcut in the start menu refers to the one installed in the storage card, it may solve your problem.

Great job, man!
I'm just thinking about this issue and got your thread

Need help in WhatsApp support for W10M.

Hi, I am a long time a go without a phone number on my Lumia but before that I registered WhatsApp to that number. After that I lost my numer but I keept using WhatsApp.
A few days ago I did a several backups of WhatsApp from the app, to sd card and One Drive. Them I sent my Lumia to repair (without sd card, case and battery). When I recieved I started to install some apps, included WhatsApp. I saw for some apps to restore settings but the problem is:
- The restore backups apps do the backup of the app data folder to a zip file.
- WhatsApp do the backup from the following files and folders:
> db_* folder that contains the next files
· calls.db
· messages.db
· onedrive_manifest.db (in case you do the backup to OneDrive)
· settings.db
> media folder
My intention is to place the db files in the correct path of the WhatsApp folder but the problem is:
The installed location is in C:\Data\PROGRAMS\WINDOWSAPPS\5319275A.WhatsAppBeta_2.17.60.0_arm_cv1g1gvanyjgm
The app data location is in C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Packages\5319275A.WhatsAppBeta_cv1g1gvanyjgm
The both locations have the same folder were we have the next path: \LocalState\settingsv2
Here we have 2 more folders: nv and volatile
Both folders have the same file name: settings.db
My question is, what folder is the correct to copy the files (the same to other files)?
Hope someone can help me. I need to use WhatsApp with the same number for personal reasons.
Thanks.

1. as long as nobody else gets your old number with a new contract that works fine (if you still have a complete valid backup with registration token, which isnt stored on the sd backup imho, nor in the onedrive backup)
2. you need the backup from the phone directly, stored in C:\Data\SharedData\OEM\Public\WhatsApp (to copy that from and to the phone make a shortcut to u:\... instead of c:\...)
you can simply copy it back and its activated etc. since you havent done -> sorry no chance. you are missing the RegToken file from the internal Storagefolder. Without that you cant use a that backup for the old number cause you cant receive the verification sms again on that number

you can't keep files/folders order in case of flashing/resseting. There is uniqe ID for each run with SD card. You did lost it

yes you can! maybe only the internal files (dont know about backups on the sd for example). have done it multiple times when i needed to reset my 920 and even done it now when i migrated my data to the 950. just copied all stuff (means the mentioned whatsapp folder) from the internal storage from the 920 to the internal storage of the 950, installed WA. it recognized all data and took over the regtoken (so no need to resend the verification sms). and thats the problem here -> he hasnt backed up the regtoken and has no access to his old phone number. no way to reactivate whatsapp with that number/backup cause the token is missing

How do you get access to the phone folder's like 'C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Packages\'?
All app I've tried dont allow you to browse here. Also via the USB developer mode I see no way.
