I-Mate SP5 Low Memory

[Woody_XDA]

Does anyone know any way to store all contacts,emails and text messages to the mini-sd card on the SP5.

I don't seem to be able to find an option to do so.

Thanks

You can't. All those databases are stored in internal memory, and cannot be moved to the miniSD card.

Found this on another forum and it works perfectly have sync'd all my mail and attachments to the SD Card :

Email & Attachments on Storage Card
Forgive me if this has been posted before. Or if you all know this. I used to do this on my PPC before I got my smartphone (sp5). I just tried it to see if it would work and it does
Create the folders on your Storage Card '\Storage Card\Inbox' and the subfolder '\Attachments'
Import the registry keys as below. (try Registry Workshop and you can connect to Mobile device registries from your PC and import reg files. This saves having a Registry editor installed on the phone and typing on the device). If you are entering these keys manually rather than importing a *.reg file only use single slashes for the paths. Restart your device after doing this.
CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI]
"AttachPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox\\Attachments"
"PropertyPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox"

This not only puts email attachments onto your storage card but puts all the *.mpb files which make up items in your Inbox onto the storage card too. This means I now sync the last month of complete emails (1362 of them!) from all folders on my Exchange server and it doesn't make a dent in the phone memory.

For anyone that needs it here is the reg key attached just import it into the registry of the SP5


tis a text file here, just open it and re-save it as map1.reg and you got the reg key you need. :D

Very informative!!

Anything can be moved to external storage with a few registry tweaks. What you have to consider is decreased performance on those moved items vs. having additional memory resources available internally. :wink:

guys, I am a little slow on this. can someone pls write down a step-by-step how to do implenment? or at least specify to what directory map1.reg should be saved for this to work?

[RamyG]

I followed the instructions as given (created the folders on the card and imported the reg file to the registry using Registry Workshop). My SP5 does not put e mails & attachment on the storage card. (I rebooted the device, deleted the e mails on the device and resyched, but no go.
I recently upgraded ROM to 2.5.331.2 could this be the issue?
anh help or hint will be much appreciated.

[RamyG]

anyone know how to put Contacts on the storage card in SP5? any help appreciated.

:oops:

HelP!

I downloaded Woody's text file, saved it as map1.reg, and using Registry Workshop tried to import it into the SP5 Registry (connected to mobile).

I got an error message saying, "Cannot Modify Value...Access is Denied" the the contents of the key were displayed (\...\Attachments)

Any ideas what I did wrong?

I get the same result. I guess Woody's file and instructions are incorrect or incompele. Either way, it does not work. We need to wait until someone figures this out correctlyand puts it on the web. (It would be good if people refrained or at least disclosed when their solutions are untested.)

[MyDogReese]

Well, I don't know Ramy...it appears that there have been 56 downloads of Woody's txt file and it seems that only you and I couldn't get it to work. That leaves 54 people who, presumably, did get it to work

COULD ONE OF YOU who did get it to work, please help us woefully ignorant types? :lol: pRETTY pLEASE?

There is one problem on pointing to Storage Card regarding PIM, because the system tries to open the database BEFORE mounting the Storage Card...

In the Tornado, if you change the registry settings for the PIM database, it will block during startup .If you wait about 10minutes, it will start but no PIM info is displayed in your Home screen, among other strange behaviors--- :x

[joebongo]

So does anyone know what controls the startup process?

If so we could potentially get this workinh after all.

You're on a developer forum, this is a "lab" environment.

Be thankfull that someone is going out of their way to try and assist.

"...There is one problem on pointing to Storage Card regarding PIM, because the system tries to open the database BEFORE mounting the Storage Card..."

The answer posted elsewhere is to disable Messaging on Today screen

"...Due to the fact that Today plug-ins are initialized earlier than the storage cards become available, to avoid the Storage Card2 problem you must disable the Messaging Today plug-in. To do this, go to Start/ Settings/ Today/ Items and uncheck Messaging..."

I haven't tried this yet but intend to when I upgrade my T-Mobile MDA Vario to AKU2 ROM.

OS RegTweaker (http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2006/11/os-regtweaker-freeware-smartphone.html) is suppose to do so. Only I can't change those options ?:( But this is still in beta stage.

U should unlock u smart registry...

follow instructions..

HKLM->Security->Policies->Policies
here u should change some values:
00001001 DWORD=2 change this to 1
00001005 DWORD=16 change this to 40
00001017 DWORD=128 change this to 144

and finaly add new DWORD
0000101b with DWORD=1

Somehow i cant attach rar file with the proper registry editor, that should not give u "Access Denied" error while adding new record to registry. So if u'll need it pm me ur email.
