Hey was just wondering if any of you have like some tips or ideas on how to place all the program memory on the SDcard.I do install all my programs,music,fotos,ect. on the card,but some of these programs create folders on the actual phone, is theyre a way to make the default to the SDcard? Also can I copy the Themes folder off from the phone over to the SDcard or will they not work well?? Sorry for the long post and thanks for any replies.

How do you install all these programs on your SDcard? It never asks me where I want to save them so they always just go on my phones memory......could you please explain? Thanks

Use either SKTools or Pocket Mechanic(Some people report problems with Pocket Mechanic), and they'll allow you to move all kinds of data from your phone's memory to the sd card.

just cut n paste it from device to storage card through file explorer, or when installing itll ask where to install. regardless you will have a file on the device even if ya install it to the card, but its minimal. say ya install google maps on ya card, there will still be a folder in fileexplorer/device/windows/appmngr but i think only for the icon of the app.

when your installing the application it should ask you if you want to install on the Device, or Sd card.

Applications that must run on startup should be installed to the device. Some can also run from the SD card. You can save alot of device memory by keeping photos, music on the SD card.

I'm workin on this also... They screwed the phone up with no way to allocate program/Storage Memory... I have a small 2gb SD Card... My Storage Memory is completely empty, 156mb! My Program Memory when I clean it out constantly, I can reach 19mb... with all my stuff installed. But once I start using SMS or phone or Web, it dropps to 10mb or less. Can't listen to music half the time cause programs. It iritates me...

So programs can actually be moved without screwing things up? Like if you go into File Manager, Windows, and view by size, Go to the bottom you see all these programs that are a few MB each... Those can be moved and still work? I'm gonna try that. If I screw crap up, Can revert or just re burn rom. Never thought about that.

Anyone know how to change where the phone looks for ring tones? I always have to copy which ring tones I'm using to the windows/rings folder if I wanna use them.
