Booting programs from a memory card

motocrossyz85 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-31-2007, 04:32 PM

hey so i got my 700 wx about 3 weeks ago and already i am having to deal with some serious space problems.

i wanted to know if anyone knows how to boot programs from my 1gb memory card instead of the device. so in other words install the programs and run them on the memory card..

on a side note am i the only one that is really dissapointed in the fact that the 700wx is not on the sprint network..? i mean i get a corperate discount which includes free data and also a awsome 50 bucks worth of downloads free but i cant even use it now!

I dont know does anyone know how to do 1 touch bluetooth voice command on the 700 wx????

well thanks for your time.

You already filled up the memory on a 700wx? What did you install?

If you want to install apps to the memory card then you need to click on Storage Card when installing the app. If it's available for that app, it will ask you if you want to install it on the device or the storage card.

Sounds like your PIE temp folders are very, very full. Run something like SK Tools or MemMaid and have the program clean out your temp folders, etc. for PIE.

EDIT: keep in mind that these phones are really designed for the business world. These phones are more a tool than a toy.

I came from the P and I'm not going back. it just take time to get use to it and read the 1 million different posts on how to pimp your WX. =)

Those should not fill up your Treo. I use those plus allot more and I have about 10Mb left.

The device does have Sprint Powervision service. It depends on the area you belong to.

Using a Bluetooth headset, you can answer, hangup, and perform a last number redial from it.

yeah I tried a P for about 20 days and went with the wx. I've been a Palm OS user for about 10 years and was a little nervous but it is definately great for me. As far as the Sprint stuff goes I'm with ya, lack of Sprint TV and music store is pretty bunk. I wish Sprint would have figured out a way to make that stuff happen considering even the lowest data plan includes some TV. With voice command you do have 1 touch dialing from your bluetooth.

i think he's referring to powervision services (such as sprint tv and the sprint homepage) not evdo connection coverage/speed. unlike the p, the wx does not have access to those powervision extras.

I hope this is the right thread to ask this question. I restored a previously saved file and that went fine. However how can I upload the programs that were stored on my sd card to my device. For example (cuz I am probably saying this wrong) I downloaded kevtris/tetris windows live but they won't show up under my programs. How can I get them there? Do I need to redownload these programs?

You should be able to move Opera cache to SD card as well to save the trouble (of course I would move the program to card as well but that needs to be done during installation time to select the card as Pibe38 said).

Follow these steps below and you can move the Opera cache folder from the main memory to flash card:

1) This is the most important step!!! On your PC or using a text editor in your PDA, edit the file \Application data\Opera\opera.ini and replace every occurrence of the path \Application data\Opera\*something* with \Storage Card\Opera\*something* (supposing \Storage Card\ is your SD card's root path).

2) Copy the whole Opera directory from \Application data\ to \Storage Card\. Now you should have two identical folders: \Application data\Opera in main memory and \Storage Card\Opera on the SD card.

3) The most logical step now would be removing the former directory (the one in main memory) but DON'T do this. Opera executable, in fact, still looks for the opera.ini files located in \Application data\Opera.

4) In \Application data\Opera remove every file and sub folder BUT KEEP these three files: english.lng, opera.ini and opera6.adr. These three files don't require much space while the cache folder is now on \Storage Card\Opera
