Help ! Installing programs (TomTom) to memory card - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

I'd be hugely grateful for any advice anybody can offer :
A couple of times now, I've inadvertently allowed my XDA to completely discharge it's battery.....when I recharge it - I have to go through the process of re-installing my programs (esp TomTOM navigator).....
Does anyone know of a way to install the actual save the actual TomTOM program (not just the maps) to the memory card ....... so that the next time this happens - I can just re-install from the memory card without having to root around for the cd's and re-install using my computer ????
Many thanks

normaly when one install over activesync it ask where the prog should be installed and sugest main mem as default
in a dropdown box where sd storage is an option
dont know if thats the case with tomtom though

something dodgy found regarding SD cards?

Hi,
I upgraded to the 4.01.00 build of 2003. I decided after a bit that I missed the stuff I could add in from the kitchen and also for some reason when I tried to install something to the SD card it would just create a cab file on the card... So I manually started the cab installer from the location and it automatically installed the software into main memory?
I went back to a new brew of yorch's kitchen using 4.00.16 with hopes that this would be resolved...
I dont seem to have any problems accessing the SD card.. the data is transfered over fine... although I set Activesync to use the sd card it only ever copies the cab file and then shows the program not installed.... if I go to the SD card I can see and run the cab file copied over by activesync... but it only copies it to memory
I thought cab files installed relative to your current location (i.e) you run an install from the SD.. it gets installed to the SD.. run it from the main memory and it gets installed to the main memory.. etc.
But I'm totally confused as to why activesync refuses to install anything onto the SD card itself.
Has anyone else recieved this problem? know how to fix it? any ideas?
currently it appears I can only use the SD card for music/files or whatever I want to store rather than install other programs...
cheers for any help,
Ian.
I would uninstall your current version of activesync and install version 3.7.1. If you have 3.7.1, I would do a reinstall. It sounds like the issue isn't your SD card or the ROM that is loaded.
upps, on my XDA I everything works fine ...
I mean installing software to SD card and running the software from SD card, others things are not that smooth .... but the above mentioned is ok
I do use WM2003, version 4.0.21 T-Mobile ROM

monika
Just thought I'd add how I fixed the problem...
I stopped using this
http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/fg/dockware.htm
everytime I hard reset my device the first thing I'd do was install 3 programs...
Iliumsoft Dockware Pro
Tillanosoft Small Menu Plus
Omega One Battery Pack 2004
On that build (4.01.00) of the ROM Dockware would pretend to install by activesync... but it wouldnt even copy over or anything...
After doing that, the rest of the software would follow straight into main memory whither I asked it to or not.... the exception to this case was a few programs like Resco explorer and a few games that did install to the card.
Everything else just copied the cab files over to the sd card.. and then when you installed the cab files from there, they went into main memory.
So.... I hard reset the device and didnt install DockWare at all.... every piece of software installs fine now without a hitch...
Strange huh?
MOTD: dont use Dockware on later builds of 2k3 heh

Tom Tom Map?

Hi can anyone help?
I bought a XDA last year on ebay from XDA-Developers, with tom tom software, all was working fine until i tried to update the speed camera database last week. I downloaded the new poi's and then activated Tom Tom on XDA. The tom tom now states that there are no maps?
I have bought a disk with tom tom 5 software on and tried to reinstal on to XDA but it is still not working. The Tom Tom was originally stored on memory card. Can you buy the memory cards and will this solve problem. Really need this to work as travel loads and loads at moment. Thanks for reading Craftus..........
Can u explain a bit more in detail that what have u installed & where (which folders) have u installed.

Hi,
I have reinstalled tom tom five of disk, but the tom tom is not activating, i think i may have caused more damage, as it kept stating that there was not enough memory on storage card, i deleated the duplicate copies to free up memory but still not working, tom tom is on PDA but not activating. Thanks for your reply
Craftus
First of all ur SD card must be BIGGER than 128mb, bcs TomTom5 takes approx 140mb
No u cannot reinstalled TomTom on a previous installation on ur PocketPC, if u have done so then, uninstall TomTom from PPC (all the files starting with "TomTom" name)(should be 4-5 files), takeout ur SD card and format it on a normal mode (not Quick Format), but u have to connect ur SD card to the PC directly (not via PPC cradle), u must have to have a card reader to do that.

Once u finish formatting the SD card, put it back to PocketPC, sync on cradle with PC and now install TomTom again.
:idea: GoodLuck :idea:

Thanks, i'll give it a try

[Q] Cross reference to ROM posting

As we have ROM experts here I would appreciate it if they could look at this HTC stock ROM problem posted in the general forum for the HD2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11682793#post11682793
Many thanks.
it is timing out in the time taken for the phone to reboot.
put the phone into bootloader yourself first, then connect usb, wait for serial -> usb, right click your flash.exe file and 'run as administrator'. If it fails, dont touch the phone, swap USb ports and try again. avoid usb ports in teh front of the pc, or through hubs, and avoid 64bit windows.
Thanks for the replies folks. I used a different cable and all worked out well. I then started to install apps from my SD card using the SD card as the place to also install the apps which is what I had before.
I installed about 20 apps and all was well but now for some reason my device does not see the SD card!???
If I take out the SD card and put it into the PC I can see all the data. If I take a different SD card and put it into the HD2 it can't see this either.
I am wondering if one of the apps I installed has caused this issue. The only app I am aware of that did anything with the SD card was tnyynt SD TuneUP from this BBS.
I have had this installed before so I don't think it is this but I am otherwise stuck.
I may have to put the old rom back to see if that has something to do with it, I hope not as it has taken ages to get to this stage.
[Edit] Hi, I managed to solve the problem by removing the tnyynt SD TuneUP app. I have now deleted this app from my list. Others be warned.
Any help would be appreciated.

Crashing ROMs on my hero

Guys i need little help with my hero.
I flashed some ROMs on my hero , before that made full wipe and when i run my phone he always somehow crash.He use to restart all the time, or i can´t install on him any app, or even i succeed with install some app it can t open it and say "App xyz closed unexpectedly"
I tried install so many ROMs on my hero but everyone use to crash somehow than i can t use my mobile phone as i would like to.Can anybody please tell me what to do with that? Thank you
What ROM are you using and which apps force close?
VillainROMs v8 10 11 12 and 13 i guess
Elelinux-6.2.0-Hero-Speedmachine-v4
FROYO_2.2.1
[ROM][CUPCAKE 1.5][04/05/2010] Kimera 1.8
also some Roms with sense
but i think then i tried more than 20 ROMs on my hero, but still the same
And the apps apps force close was definitely: Navigon and Sygic ( but i remember then app navigon had works for a few times )
Next problem is with my memory card, phone sometimes says than "YourSD card is damaged" or something like that and i have to format my SD card if i wanna use MMC again :-/
Sounds like an SD Card fault since those apps Navigon and Sygic probably have Maps on their SD Card thus causing them to force close if the phone says your SD is damaged.
Try put in another SD Card (after making a nandroid on your old one) and then do a full wipe and see if it still happens.
Tried use to flash new rom trought another MMC but still the same :-/
the application navigon has stopped unexpecadly, i don t know where is the problem :/
Does seem like a hardware fault unfortunately, try take your SD Card out and give the metal area where it makes contact with the Card a good wipe with a cloth or tissue.
Doesn t help, but i have to add then that "App xyz closed unexpectedly" say HTC only for nonmarket app, the apps witch one i downloaded trought PC and then install from SD card... :-/
I don't know then I'm afraid. It's very odd.

Help with Market/Google Play on newly updated tablet

Hi guys, hope someone can help me, I have 2 problems stopping me from installing 75% of the apps I want on my tablet which I just updated to it's official JellyBean ROM. No one else has reported this problem with this tablet/ROM so I hope someone knows the solution.
1) with around 50% of the apps (paid for and free) I get the error "Couldn't Install on the USB storage or SD card" (see screenshot)
2) a lot of apps (Chrome for example) say they are not compatible, yet they were fine in ICS and they are fine on my JellyBean phone.
Number 2 I've seen before and been able to add an android.hardware.location.gps.xml file in to system/etc/permissions and it's work, but it's not working this time.
Number 1 has me really stumped, searching the net finds the problems on all sorts of devices and there's 2 solutions, neither of which work, one is to unmount the SD card and install, then remount it - I've unmounted & removed the card, but nothing (I have 16Gb internal memory too). The other solution is to delete any files called "smdl2tmp1" of which I have none.
Now I've tried wiping the cache etc, re-installing the ROM, doing factory resets etc but nothing is helping. I have also noticed that my internal memory isn't getting wiped each time and I cannot find how to wipe it.
The tablet has CWM recovery built in but it's in chinese, but I know my way around it.
I have noticed that if I install and load up Astro file manager it lists my storage options as this (click for screenshot)
Local Storage 1 (USB) - I have nothing plugged in to the slot
Local Storage 2 tries to point to external SD card even when it's unmounted or not even in (this still appears if I have nothing plugged in on boot too)
Local Storage 3 is my internal memory
Local Storage 1 & 2 allow me to open them but there's nothing in there and I cannot add folders etc (no errors, it just doesn't do it)
Please can anyone offer advice?
My tablet is pretty useless with hardly any apps installed on it.
can anyone help?
What tablet you running
