After applying the patch on my SFR HTC Cruise I can save my geottagued images into internal memory but not on external card. Pictures taken but the POI folder still empty, canno't email picture or delete, "file not found".
any other kind of pictures well stored on on external data card and geottaged images ok on My POI on internal memory.
Any idea, someone saw same problem ?

I'm currently using the PDAViet 6.1 ROM. I'm very happy with this ROM but have one issue I haven't been able to figure out. Several of the newer WM 6.1 ROMs have a Flash Disk area that shows up like a storage card. Several programs such as Outlook or Live Search can use a storage card for attachments, cache, etc. My problem is that the settings screens for the programs only give the option of using storage card or internal memory. If you select storage card it will default to the first storage card, the flash disk, instead of the much larger SD card. Is there any way to tell these programs to use the SD card instead of the Flash Disk? Or, is there any way to change the order that the storage areas show up in so that the SD card would appear in the list before the Flash disk?
Is it only "Storage" instead of "Storage Card"? If yes, it is the Extended ROM, which developers usually reveal and unlock in order to customize their ROMs before release. Just before uploading, they lock it back, but re-hiding it is notoriously difficult.
So, don't worry, you can't use it for anything, 'cause locked, you can only browse it. However, I would consider another ROM, because a visible ExtROM is known to cause problems with several applications, such as mail, if it is set to use a Storage Card to store attachments.
Hope this cleared things up a bit...
This is a description from another thread:
What is Flash disk (FD)?
FD is the additional space usually un-utilized in the ROM (nk.nba). FD has no effect to the space allocated for regular storage (36 - 40 MB). Having FD means, your net storage is: Regular storage + FD. i.e. 40 + 15 = 55 MB.
So, I believe you are right that I will need to use another ROM to resolve this issue. Its a shame, I really like everything else about this one. Hopefully PDAVIET and others will see the light that a few MB in the grand scheme of things isn't that important when SD cards are getting cheaper.
Thanks for the reply.
This is what this forum is for: to help each other!
Could you post a link to the thread you got the definition from?
I always thought the flash disk was the application used to host the SD card through the USB, making the Uni function as an SD card reader...
Anyway, that unused space can't be utilized since the ExtROM is usually hidden, or at least locked. There exists a program to unhide and unlock this area, which, when cleared, gives an extra 10-15 MB of storage space, but might still cause problems with some applications, mostly Outlook.
The quote is from the second post of the thread for Ranju's WM 6.1 ROM, which is similar to the PDAVIET ROM I am using. Several of the 6.1 ROMs appear to have this Flash Disk "feature".

To store attachments and/or the e-mail messages themselves in the storage card in WM6/WM6.1, perform the following tasks:
1 - Go to the Storage tab in the mail options, tick the "When available, use this storage card to store attachments" box, prior to perform the changes I'll suggest, because, at the moment you do that, your system will redirect it to your extended ROM (or flash disk) in the registry. When you perform the changes, you'll overwrite those settings afterwards. And don't worry that, when you go back to check those mail options, it will keep showing a small ammount at "Current size of attachments". Your data will be saved to your storage card, anyway;
2 - Create a folder and a subfolder in your card, e.g. "\Storage Cardi\Inbox\" and "\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments\" (without the quotes);
3 - Include the following keys at "HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings" (all without quotes, as well):
- "AttachPath", with value (string) = "\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments", for the attachments;
- "PropertyPath", with value (string) = "\Storage Card\Inbox", for the messages themselves.
4 -Soft reset your device.
Hope it works for you...
Cheers!

Thanks, that works... sort of.
After following your instructions and a soft reset I get a folder named "Storage Card" with a normal folder icon and a folder named "Storage Card 2" with the SD folder icon. "Storage Card" contains an Inbox and Inbox/Attachments folder. "Storage Card 2" is my SD card with the Inbox and Inbox/Attachments folders I created. After sending myself a test email outlook is using the folders in "Storage Card", which appears to be on internal memory and not the folders on my SD card.
So I removed my SD card, which made the "Storage Card 2" disappear. I then manually deleted the remaining "Storage Card" folder. Next I reinserted my SD card and "Storage Card" reappeared in File Explorer with the appropriate icon. Now when I check my email everything works as expected with attachments going to the SD card.
Problem is that "Storage Card" and "Storage Card 2" reappear after a soft reset and I have to go through removing the SD card, deleting the folder, etc all over again.

I recall such an annoying behaviour with some old WM5 ROM I flashed a long time ago. Now, with WM6.1 installed on my Uni, not anymore...
Cheers!

Same problem

I'm having the exact same issue with my JASJAR (Universal) running Ranju v7.7 WM6.1 ROM. Has anyone found a resolution? Does anyone know how to Hide or completely Disable that stupid "Flash Disk." I tried renaming it with SKTools, to xxFlash Disk so the actual SD Card can be seen 1st by the messaging app, but it still shows Flash Disk in file explorer.

I had the exact same problem. Here's how to resolve it:
-Disable the MESSAGING PLUG-IN. (You can use some other plug-in to count your unread messages on your today screen, like PhoneWeaver, Wisbar, Phone Alarm, etc, etc.)
-Eject SD Card
-Delete StorageCard (folder that actually exists on main memory)
-Insert SD Card
-Soft Reset
-The Storage Card 2 issue shouldn't be there anymore!
Hi All,
I use dropbox a lot and I make many files "favourite" meaning they will be saved offline on my device. However soon I will be running out of space on my internal memory, and I was wondering is it possible to change the default path where these offline files are stored. i would like to move the default path to my external SD card which is 64GB and has enough space to store the offline files. Dropbox has no setting to change the path where the files are stored.
Are the any settings or apps which can change the path where the offline files are stored.
Any advice would be appreciated. Many Thanks in advance.

I use an app called "FolderSync"(paid). It can be set to automatically sync folders from several cloud storage sites to a local folder that can place on the ext. card. You can even set each individual folder to be either one way or two way sync. I use it with Dropbox, box.net, google drive, and skydrive.
I think with the free version it does not give the option for immediate sync when changes are made. I think it only has manual and scheduled sync available. I forgot if the free version has two way sync.

Other options are using FOLDERMOUNT to link external dir to internal dir.
Or you can also use ext2int script to mount ext sdcard as internal and internal sdcard as external.

I have a Pictures folder in the root of my SD card. By default several apps created their own folder in Pictures and save their photos in that folder.
If I move the Pictures folder to my SD card what will happen? Will the apps find their folder on the SD card and keep using it? Or will a new Pictures folder be created on internal storage and fragment my app data?
In that latter case, I assume that the app would only see the photos in the newly generated folder and not see any of the photos I moved to the SD card. Is that right?
