[UTIL] MobileMonger - Whats using up your Storage?

[Jamzb]

Hi all,
I have lurked on this forum many times and have found it very useful especially in terms of my recent ROM update issues with my new Diamond .. which turned out to be the HK version - gah! .. but that is another story.

I just wanted to let people know that I have written a tool to show storage space use on your Windows Mobile in a TreeMap. There probably are other tools like this kicking around, but I couldn't find one that was any good.

Main Memory fills up pretty fast on the Diamond if your not careful to install absolutely everything to the storage card, and also set your default save location to the storage card.

The screen shot below is of the app and the Main Memory of my Diamond after I found and killed off the offending files.

Anyhow, if your interested you can mosey on over to the download page: here

Cheers,
James.




Update 1.2 Standard:
- Added a version for Windows Mobile Standard (or Smartphone in the old terms - non-touch screen)

Update 1.2:
- Improved performance, added more status notifications to indicate what its doing during delays

Update 1.1:
- Orientation switching added

welcome to our forum. interesting tool!

[Jamzb]

Thanks for the welcome
I am curious to find out if anyone will find it useful. I have put it on several phones of guys I work with and they have found all sorts of garbage clogging up their phones.

Will give it a few days - maybe some people will try it out.

thank you for the app/tool!
working fine and showing all...
in yr pic i can see you are using the app in portrait but it takes all the screen.
warning: this app is better viewed in landscape. this mean i have to stop tf3d and rotate the screen or use the gtool....in portrait the app is 1/3 of the screen. anything i should know? vga/qga related?
i can not see any garbage but this might be as a result of intensive use of SkTools and it's cleaning tools.
opera is a monster in device and iGO8 is the champion on my internal memory.
i'll take a better look in the evening.

Thanks for trying it out!

Yeah - I'm not handling the switch to landscape mode, however if you start the app while already in landscape mode it should be fine.

I'm using the HTC stock ROM in my Diamond so I'm not really sure how to disable TF3D and change into Landscape. However its fairly easy to change the code to handle the event and have it recalc for the new dimensions. Will put it in 1.1! Shouldn't take long

Cheers,
J.

will try this out on the rom im using when i get home later

[Jamzb]

Oh yeah - and something that is probably not obvious to everyone is that you can click on the folders to zoom-in and take a closer look at the folder contents.

Maybe I should underline the folder names or colour them blue or something ... Hmmm.. will have a think about that.

lol i already tried with no success! maybe because is too small (1/3 of the screen).
btw, disabling tf3d is easy. go to settings/personal/today/items and disable the tf3d like any other plug in . after that you''l have the "old" today screen.
go to settings/system/screen and rotate yr screen.
i did the above, rotate the screen and open yr app but again i got only 1/3 of the screen!

Thanks for telling me about the Setting->Today->Items. That did indeed turn off TF3D, but then on the Settings->System->Screen couldn't find the screen rotate thing. There are three tabs (Alignment, Clear Type, Text Size) - It is 1am here, perhaps it will be there in the morning.

i have 3 tabs also: general, clear type, text size.
on general you have on the top of the tab "orientation" with 2 options "portrait" and "landscape" and underneath you have "align screen".
ye, sure try again after a good sleep..lol
interesting that you have "alignment" and i have "general" containing "orientation" and "align screen". this is wm thing...why different?
