[Q] Save Footprints in Storage Card - General Questions and Answers

Hello, someone have been able to save Footprints on the storage card rather than the internal memory (small and full)?
I've taken a look to the registry but couldn't find anything. The structure in my case is different from the one described in thread 731863
Why the hell did they disabled the option to save on the storage card?

Device vs. Storage Card

What should I be storing on my storage card? I got a 4 gig for my XV6800 and moved all of my photos, music and games over to it. Should I be running programs from there as well to free up the device memory? This brings up another question, I have the HTC Album installed and I can only look at photos stored on the device, but I tried the Folder Option plugin before and it woud just freeze up the system. Thanks for any help!
sd is slower then main memory and some programs dont like to be run from there mainly today item and other programs which run all the time and act up if the sd card is removed

Main Memory Being Eaten Up

I've been installing plenty of programs on my SD card recently and I have xda mobile 6 rom. Everytime I install a program though, it still makes its way to my windows file directory that over a course of installing programs, it accumulates and takes over space. Is there a way to solve this problem permanently by installing those "install" files onto my sd card only?
Or perhaps using total comander to move the files around and it would still work despite not being in my main memory windows directory on the phone. It should really be on the storage card.
If any one could help me out with this problem, because I went from having 45mb on my main storage to only having only 25mb despite me "installing" the files on the storage card which they appear to be on there, but my main memory is still being eaten up,
much thanks in advance.
Sorry if you thought of this already, but have you configured Pocket Outlook to store your email and attachments on the storage card? by default, they are stored on main memory.
also, there is a problem with system files being deployed in the memory card since the initial read is from the main memory. those files can't move to the memory card.. or... maybe they can, but not in a regular.. altering registry or installation a program way.
ineluki-I don't use pocket outlook at all. And everyone that I have moved onto the memory card, I did already.
nir36-is there anyway to move those install files away from the main memory since registry alteration doesn't work?
does anyone know of any way to move this around?
unfortunatly, you can't move those files without altering the base of the device. if there is another way, it's not a way i know about.. but it's unlikely you can use your system files from your SD card.. sorry

How to use My Documents on the Storage Card

Hi
I am using WM6 on my XDA Orbit and would like all documents that I create saved to my SDHC card to save space on the phone memory.
I notice that it is possible to have a My Documents folder on the phone and the Storage card. Is it possible to make a registry change to just use the one on the Storage Card? Further - I would like to be "tidy" and store the various types of docs in Sub folders under My Documents on the Storage Card.
How do I go about achieving this?
Can someone please explain or point me in the direction of some documentation as to how the My Documents system is supposed to work on WM6 as I am a bit confused as to how to organise my user generated content.
Thanks in advance

Mounting Internal Storage vs. SD Card - USB

With the Evo, connected to my PC, selecting "Mount as disk drive," only the Micro SD card appears in Windows Explorer as a directory. I want and expect to see another directory for Internal Storage.
Had had the Incredible, where _both_ the SD card and Internal Storage appeared as two separate directories. I could see what was stored on ea.
I am under 300MB of memory of avail. space on the Internal - lots of posts about running out of app room in various forums - so curious what media and other data is there, what might be movable to SD card.
Got some further questions about how to copy data from an 8MB card to a 32MB card (just drag to PC and back?) as I just ordered one, and about how to tell certain apps where I want media recorded to (may simply not be an option w Camcorder and others), but mainly just want to understand how to view Internal storage from a directory on my PC when unit is docked. Thx!

Problem with moving apps to external SD card

So apparently Samsung makes the skyrocket think that the usb storage is the sd card. Because of this when i tap to move an app to the sd card it moves it from system storage too usb storage. I am pretty much out of storage internally. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how i can solve the problem.

I do not think that Samsung is unique. An external SD card appears as a directory in the external storage. It is rather easy to use this directory to store music, photos and videos. I have many programs and I am nowhere near tapped out in terms of storage. However, I believe that there are a number of solutions that would allow one to move applications to the external-external SD card.
Ya i was wondering if anyone had heard of a way to do this. I havent found anything yet.
If you are rooted you can probably edit the fstab file to switch the mount points of the internal and external memory. This has been done on other devices and a search should point you to directions to accomplish this.
There are negatives and positives to this approach, so read and understand what yoou are doing and the effects it will have before doing it.
I have over 80 apps installed, including two nav programs with offline maps for the US and have 1.5 GB in the user space for ap installs, 9.4 GB in the internal storage, and 11 GB free on a 32 GB external SD card (music files take up most of the used space).
Thank you!
