I have an aviation application I bought 2 years ago and no longer have the media it came on. I moved the application manually from a PPC to my previous phone, a Tilt, and it worked perfectly. I now want to move the application to my new phone, a Fuze. How can I go about doing this(I forgot how I did it before)? Is there any app out there that can do it automatically? I already made the new keys in the registry and copied and pasted the programs whole folder to my new phone but it says my library(in the application) has not been activated. I am at a lose here. Any help would be great! If any more info is needed I can give it as well.
Prolly some dll lost in Windows folder? Really dont think that copying files from on device to other is a good idea, might always loose something in the transaction.

OK, bought a new Cingulr 8125, but am confused on how to install programs,and ware to install them. I had a Treo650 for long time and all I had to do was use palm one quick install and drop in the .prc files. I'm sure it's simple but need that first timer directions and I should be all set. My 1Gb card comes in Friday(forgot to order card with mda two days ago) so I will be all set. Thanks

There's a couple of ways to install apps. First and probably easiest is to install ActiveSync on the desktop, connect the phone up to and once they're connected and assuming a given app has an installer application, you run that on the desktop and it takes care of the details. After that you generally ok the install on the device and it installs.
Another way to install it to get the cab file for an app, copy it to an SD card, pop it into the phone, bring up file manager and nav to the folder, then click on the cab file. A lot of apps (but nowhere near all of them) let you download either an exe or a cab so it's your choice. Clicking the cab file sets the process in motion and, again, you have to "ok" the install and it installs onto the device. NOTE that, at the end of the install process, the cab file is deleted unless you've poked the registry into doing otherwise. That's not the default, however, so make sure you have another copy of the cab file somewhere.
Thanks for the info. I like the first way, it sounds easy. Im going to start with Weatherpanel friday after I get my SD card. I read most of the program will go on the card to take up the least space in the ram. I'm excited to try my first install, I will be looking for fed X truck. Thanks again, now I can get some shut eye tonight knowing how to do this....
Since I can't post in the q & a forum I am posting here but mods feel free to move it. So I have a wm6.1 device and a Mac computer and I regularly send files, like cab and music files with out an issue. However, today I noticed that I send a music file like usual and the file is no where to be found on the devices however space about the same size as the file is being taken up. So I send another two files(one music and one cab file) with out an issue at all. Then later on I send a cab file, but I don't see it on the device even though space is being take up. This may have happened prior to this, but I didn't realize it or something. So how can A) regain that space by deleting those files not showing up, or B) find the files that are not showing up and use them as I intended to. I am loosing space because of this. Option of last(and I mean last) resort is a hard rest which I don't like to do. Thank you....

get a good file browser and search for the missing files. You may want to use a wild card search (*.cab,*.mp3)
if you still can not find them look in the folders in /Windows and /Temp or or equivalent on the device
well i am using total commader so I dunno how good that is or not. Not to mention I have done what you suggested and even searched for files added with in the last 3 days and nothing on all fronts but yet the sapce is being taken up by something that I can't seem to find on my device. Memory maid was no help either(granted I only did a clean up). But thank you.
have you tried using the default file explorer?
Firstly apologies for the noob question, I'm still very new to this WinMo stuff. And secondly I've searched about the forum all day but still having problems....
I've just got an HD2 and wanting to put some of the tweaks on it I've found via this site. When downloaded on my PC I'm faced with 4 or so files, two or three perhaps starting with a 'cab' file name and the other a reg or set up file. Basically what do I then do with these files? With the phone conected via USB I went into the deice memory and dropped all the files into the memory, did a soft reset, but nothing happened, no extra feature etc. Phone just started up as normal. Sorry for my 'thickness' lol. Would welcome any advice or a pointer to somewhere where it may be already written.
Thanks.
Do not unzip the .cab place on phone and browse phone with File Explorer, click on the .cab and install to Device....
It's a common noob mistake as .cab's are compressed archives so look like .zips on computer....
Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give that a go....
after dropping them on the device you have to run them. Open File Explorer and just launch them from there. A setup will be launched usually.
Thanks for the above advice, worked a treat.
Well I've had no problem putting cab files onto my HD2, however now I want to remove a few of them. Not sure how to remove the actual thing that I've changed??? I go into the device memory and I can delete the cab itself but the 'change' still remains, such as new task bar icons etc.
Any help appreciated....
settings -> add remove programs
just like on a computer
Oh yes of course, makes sense now. Many thanks
I accidentally erased a name of a file using total commander and can't undo myself.
My files show:
//Plugins
Application Data
ConnMgr
Content
Documents and Settings
Music
My Documents
Programs
Storage Card
Temp
Windows
and "wrong name because I deleted it" (in the folder is Manilla_20100401....)
Can someone please let me know what that file name should be? Most of my programs won't fully launch now because of it.
Thank you for your help.
Michael
Just hard reset your phone. That's always an easy fix that's sure to work
I just had this phone replaced due to warranty and had finished reinstalling lots of items but stupidly hadn't made a backup. I was in fact only opening total commander to make certain it was working when I accidentally deleted the file name. I would hate to hard reset when it is just a single file name that needs replaced .... I hope.
Do you have SK Tools? If so, this is a piece of cake. Open the database tool and export Replstor as an .xml. Open it with notepad on your PC and find the name of the file or folder (and its contents) in the list. There could be a few thousand entries, so it may take a while.
Farmer Ted--I don't find any of my file names from my device in this document. Thank you for the suggestion but I am still at a loss for the original names of the folders under My Device.
If only I knew someone with an HTC Fuze, I could just look on their panel under My Device. Unfortunately, most of my folk are Iphone zealots. Their advice usually involves a different purchase!

Well, I realized after I posted that if you somehow deleted one of the databases, then it won't show up in replstor, because they're all excluded from replstor. Most of them can't be deleted, though. You should have mxip_initdb.vol, mxip_lang.vol, mxip_notify.vol, mxip_swmgmt.vol and mxip_system.vol. If you're missing one of them, then look in the\windows folder and find the rom version and copy it to the root of the device. It may not have everything it needs in it, though. Just post up if you're missing one, and I can probably tell you how to fix it (well, maybe, lol).
Thanks FarmerTed, I'll give it a go as soon as I understand what it means! Just to clarify, I didn't delete any files. I renamed it. Not on purpose. These are just the basic files under My Device.
I've renamed stuff before, too. The best thing to do if you catch yourself is to delete the entire name, then highlight another file. The messed up file will go back to the original name.
shoot. doesn't work. It would have if I would've done that in the first place though, so that is good to know.
Hello Community,
is there any possibility (interop-unlocked) Omnia 7 to backup the savegames, exspecially from Xbox Live games before resetting the phone?
Thank you for answers,
Malte
Windows Phone Device Manager v1.7.0.0 can backup and restore apps and games settings and data... unfortunately with public v1.8.0.0 backup not work...
also you can copy files for every game from IsolatedStore to PC with Windows Phone Power Tools or any other tool which have access to IsolatedStore
Like dxdy said, the Windows Phone Power Tools will let you do this. I was going to post a link but it seems that I can't, so it's at wptools.codeplexDOTCOM. Use the Isolated Storage Browser to copy save data from the old phone and to the new one.
thank you for your answers...
Fortunately I am Beta Tester of Windows phone device Manager. I think i will try that method First, otherwise i will copy the savegames from isolated storage.

PS: the spelling mistakes come from my German Keyboard Layout
you can't copy xboxlive games isostore, wpdm or wptools won't help you...only for sideloaded apps/games.
I installed WPDM and just had to notice, that there is a backup funkction, but it doesnt semm to work. I also noticed that I havent access to isolated storage with WPDM'S file explorer. I will no figure out the other program, hopefully it works. Anyway ist would be logically if yor're right and it isnt possible. I heard about a function that will be added to Xbox live hub from Microsoft. Maybe that will help me backup the dataa from my applications.
Thank you
With Wp Power Tools I was able
to solve my problem and copy the
savegames from the phone (but nox xbox live...),
cause as NebZoNe mentioned there is no way
to copy from the isolated storage of xbox live
games...
So, thanks anyway,
Malte1234511
Ok, after research i found out
there is a way (even Xbox Live), but I'm
not sure if I can post it here in XDA...

Just wondering if you could help me out as i have the same problem. I have sent you a PM
On a Samsung phone, you can use WP7 Root Tools to copy files from your games' IsolatedStore folders to another location (such as the IsolatedStore of the webserver app, very handy for this) from which you can get them off the phone.
I actually wrote a backup app for HTC phones, but by the time I got it working pretty well, nobody could run it anymore (needed old firmware). Sigh...

thanks for the reply but where would i find the IsolatedStore folders? The game i want to backup is Plants Vs Zombie
The phone creates an IsolatedStore folder for each app as you isntall the app. They are created in \Applications\Data\<GUID>\Data\IsolatedStore. You need to know the GUID of the app you're installing. I don't know what it is for PvZ off the top of my head, though if you download the XAP from the marketplace, open it up (it's a renamed ZIP file), and look at the WMAppManifest.xml file inside, you'll see an ID GUID. That's the one that you need to know.
winco's wAppStore shows apps GUID in a very simple way, even non free apps (E.Reid's marketplace too but need a little hack for non free apps)
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
If someone creates XML file with most popular game names and GUIDs, I can write a simple backup/restore desktop app, helper to ISETool.exe
Suggested XML format:
Code:
<apps>
<app GUID=8eda0151-67e7-df11-a844-00237de2db9e>Birdy Bounce</app>
<app GUID=78681258-ec97-e011-986b-78e7d1fa76f8>Penguin</app>
...
and so on
...
</apps>
