Installing apps into manually selected folders - General Topics

Hello,
I want to install apps into my SD card but one thing I don't know what to do is how on earth I select a specific folder where I want to install it?
I don't like having programs installed in the root sd folder I want it to be more like:
/storage card/programs
I use Dell Axim X30 with Windows Mobile 2003 SE
I heard that it can be tweaked with Resco Registry Editor but what do I have to do??
Help please ! :roll:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer
find a Key fAskDest and change it's value from 0 to 1.

Alternatively you can also use this great program if you're installing directly from your SD Card
It's called CabInstl
download it from here:

Syncronise a folder in SD ?

Hi,
As you know , ActiveSync syncronises many things and one of them is the files on the my document folder in the memory of the device.
Question : is there a way to make the ActiveSync automatically syncronises my files on a folder in the SD card instead ?
If not , is there other tools to automate this task ?
thanks in advance ..
i think because sd is removable storage and the program cant be sure if it's present and the fact that activesync is free may make this impossible
try intillysync

HELP! What's in my SD?

I am using the Darkforce ROM of WM 6.1, after I insert a SD in my Universal, I found that aa file generated automatically called "EncFiltLog.menc". It will continuous exist no matter I deleted it or not.
Anyone know what is "EncFiltLog.menc"??
By the way, I am using Transcend 16GB SDHC. Today, I found that my PPC can't detect it suddenly, I tried to insert it on my NB, but there are some files halt! When I double click it and wait for a moment, a messege box appear and say there are some problem about I/O device. No any device can detect my card now, anyone know what's the issue? I even can't format it now...
Please HELP!!
THANKS YOU VERY MUCH!
.menc files
.menc files are encrypted files.
When you set the option to encrypt files (Start\Settings\System\Encryption) then anything new that is saved to your SD card will be encrypted (and will have this extension - although this extension doesn't appear when viewing from the device that encrypted the files).
To read the file, you must view it via your device. (You can view/transfer it onto your PC via active sync from the device that encrypted it).
If you have reflashed your device without backing up your SD via active sync, then I don't think there is any way of recovering the file . (NB. I copy everything from my SD card to my computer before reflashing, and then copy it all back again ).
Hi my friend!
I had the same issue but with things 4.1 ROM. I don't know how, but i tried every day to format my sd card, and after 5 days it worked I have also this file in the root... It's the encryption file i think...
Mine was a 2GB panasonic SD not an SDHC... Keep trying!
Thanks for all reply!
But I found that I haven't tick the option of"Start\Setting\System\Encryption" , but the file still exist! I don't know why...
Any my SD issue....
I an using this ROM for few weeks already, but not newly flashed. My SD have no problem before. Haven't backup the datas is my mistake! I am so regreted. My SD is now can't detect from all device, and I can't format it also.
ALL DATAS ARE LOST!! Just wanna cry!
damaged sd-card!
Hi! Had the same problem with my new kaiser. Also thought about problem of ROM or the device itself. But it was just the SD-Card itself. Bougth a new one - no probs anymore...
any true solutions to this?
I have this same problem, so the only way to fix it is to get a new card?
Step By Step To Delete File EncFiltLog.menc (EFLG.m)
1) Insert your SD into Card Reader Cut EFLG.m
2) Paste insde your PC
3) Defrag your SD card
4) Select Option Tools>Folder Options>View Select Show hidden file
5) Now you can see new folder ie File 0000
6) Delete the folder
7) Now your SD card become as original
I read somewhere (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2718217&postcount=9) that the hidden file "EncFiltLog.menc" is stored on every SD-Card by WindowsMobile weather encryption is activated or not.
So it should be no problem to have it on the card - as long as everything works.

SD Card problem:How to remove omap850_sdhc.dll and sdbus.dll

Hi this is my very first post here on xda developers forum,
I have bought a qtek s200 recently and when i wanted to upgrade to wm6.1, i saw after a while that my sd card starts to disappear.I have tried shadow 2 and korand 3.1 wm6.1 roms and transformers wm6 and the result is all the same; after a while my s200 doesn't recognize the sd card.
I have searched through a lot of web site including here about the problem and now believe that the problem arises from the "omap850_sdhc.dll and sdbus.dll" files in the windows folder on the device.I came across a post like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=256655&page=11
They had the same problem with their wm5 devices and after they removed these dll files, they say that the problem has gone forever.
Yeah, i tried to remove these files from the windows folder but it says they are rom files and cannot be deleted.
So, how can i remove these files from the original nk.nbf file?Can we call this some kind of "rom cooking" ?
Or do you have any other ideas to solve this problem?
At the moment I'm using wm5 oem rom and sd card reader just works fine,no problem at all.I looked into the windows folder and realized that there were no such files.That's why (I think) no sd card reader or disappearance problem do I have.
Any help will be most appreciated.
I solved the problem with a simple registry change:
something like hklm drivers sd class :
disablepowermanegement: 1 instead of 0 and here you go, soft reset and no problem.
If you just want to remove the files, use Total Commander to change the file properties and then delete them. To remove the files by cooking, use Neokit (it's in the WM6 sub forum) and it will give a complete list of files which can easily be removed before rebuilding and reflashing the ROM.
Thank you very much.I solved the problem with the registry change.Thanks a lot.

Now cannot load programs from flash drive? = Help

Dear all
I've had my htc advantage x7510 for a month or so now, just got it set up all lovely and now completely randomly it won't load many of the applications i have installed on the flash drive. I get the cannot load xxxx file as its not signed or one of the components is missing.
I can see the flash drive in explorer and copy and delete files to and from it, but i can't even uninstall any of the problematic programs or resinstall them as it fails each time.
Is this a WM6 error needing a hard reset (tried a soft reset and no good) or is it something to do with WM6 now not fully seeing the flash drive?
Help - god this is damn frustrating.
Regards
Andy
Do you have an SD Card? Seems to me there is something strange with the registry settings.
I remember having a similar problem back when I was using my Universal. For some reason the Storage Card got renamed so none of my applications would launch.
You might have to do a Hard Reset and a full install from scratch. This time invest on SPB Backup and make sure you keep a fresh copy.

If it is only a matter of changed (for any reason) name of the disk, then you can manualy change back the name of the disk and then softreset. It should be named "Flash Disk" (if we are talking about 16GB disk).

The system won't allow you to simply rename it.
Back then I found out the cause was WM5torage. I had to find a way to disable WM5torage first, delete Storage Card folder (newly created), and simply soft reset. Renaming the Storage Card 2 to it's original name "Storage Card" did not work, the system won't allow me.

I never had a problem with Flash disk, but few times had a problem with Storage Card.
If one of your programs uses it (i.e. your poutlook saves your attachments on it) and your card is out or not working then the system automatically creates a folder in main memory named "Storage Card".
Next, when your real storage card starts to work again, the system names it "Storage Card2", and you are in a trouble, cause all your programs using it, can not reach their folders on "Storage Card".
The solution:
Delete the "Storage Card" folder (using proper explorer: Resco or Total Commander), and then either rename your Storage Card2 to Storage Card, or just softreset.
I've done it many times.
I assume similarly could happen with Flash disk if for any reason (somebody fiddling with registry, in.eg.).

I have Total Commander installed in my Storage Card back then. Even now, all my applications are installed in my Flash Disk. So Total Commander did not work either when that happened to me. I had to use File Explorer, and as you know it is not capable of doing that as I found out. I assume you have Total Commander and Resco Explorer installed in the Main Memory.
I am just glad back then that I was able to sort it out and not do a Hard Reset, although I was VERY close to doing it from frustration. Maybe I need to follow your tip, install Total Commander in the Main Memory. Just in case.

ATT Tilt Java Problem

1. I recently got my ATT Tilt and have been loading it up with some great apps. I noticed that in File Explorer there are some folders/files I cannot find. For instance, I have no idea where Java is installed. Does anyone know where the root folder for this is? Does File Explorer not allow you to search some files/folders? Would something like Resco Explorer be a better option or does it only have a better UI.
2. The Tilt has about 150mb of internal ROM but I have a 2Gb microSD card installed. I have several Java games in the form of .jar files that I have copied onto my SD card. When running these .Jar files, the games are unzipped somewhere onto my device. However, I have no idea where they are installed. I want to make it so that the .jar files are unzipped onto my memory card so that I have more storage space available for games and don't clog up my internal ROM. Does anyone know how to do this?
Generally speaking, if you want to see all folders in your system, you can always connect to your comp using activesync, make sure your PC file explorer SHOWS hidden files, mark the hidden PPC folders and in properties uncheck HIDDEN..
now you'll be able to see all folders in your PPC file explorer.
I use total commander, it can be used as a more complete "file explorer" and a registry editor.
the java midlets are probably installed where ever the java emulator is located, so i would just suggest installing a java emulator to the storage card and use it instead of the one located in the internal memory.
