[Microsoft Surface] tamarasu:
hey guys and gals,

We all know that the Surface has limited storage. I was messing around and found a quick change to a registry key that lets you change where windows store apps are stored when installed. Tested and working on my Surface 32gb. see below for the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx

change the key labeled PackageRoot to whatever directory you want, and all new apps will install in that directory.

Note: this does require that you change owner and permissions on the Appx registry folder so that you can edit the key. I have tested this will no ill effects.

You can also change the app repository to another directory by changing the PackageRepository key.

Test on a class 10 32gb card. Hope this helps!
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Ahh, good find. I just used a symbolic link (which has the advantage of moving existing apps without breaking anything) but your approach is probably easier on clean installs.
[Microsoft Surface] paschott:
Did you have to do anything funny with permissions to make the change? What was the command to make the link and move the files?

Last time I used a symbolic link (Windows "Installer" folder *sigh*), I don't remember Windows automatically moving anything. I was probably doing it wrong, but manually set up everything so it wouldn't be lost.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Used robocopy, with the switches to maintain ACLs and all, to copy the directory tree. Deleted the old one, and then used mklink /d to create the symbolic link.
[Microsoft Surface] truffle1234:
where do I change the owner and permission? I opened the reg edit as adminirtator but could not change the folder... do I have to uninstall all the apps before changing...??
[Microsoft Surface] tamarasu:
Youll need to change owner and permissions on the registry key. you can also change both on the windowsapps folder, though it isn't necessary.
[Microsoft Surface] Ishman:
I have not been able to get this too work. I have made the registry changes with no problems but once I do that I get an error when trying to install any item from the app store. Once I change the registry back it functions correctly. Any thoughts? I did create a directory on the SD card first and mapped the registry setting to it.

Thanks
[Microsoft Surface] tamarasu:
No nothing special. the only difference on my system is that the sd card is formatted as ntfs instead of the default fat32 that it came as. zero issues installing apps.
[Microsoft Surface] Ishman:
Wonder if it is because I am using a 64 gb exfat card. I will try with another card tomorrow.
[Microsoft Surface] kenikh:
Damn - so you have to have the SD Card formatted as NTFS? I'll have to pull a boat load of content off of the card before I reformat it, then.

Has anyone determined in the NTFS requirement is technically driven or reg setting enforced? Would be nice if there were a modification that would allow exFAT to work without going through the hassle of reformatting. I did a cursory look in the registry and didn't see anything.
[Microsoft Surface] tamarasu:
The only thing I can think of is name length and special character restrictions of fat formats. Haven't seen anything in the registry yet that determines the ntfs comparability versus far or exfat
[Microsoft Surface] Sweetblu:
How do I change the ownership and permissions??? All I keep getting is "Unable to change permissions on appx"

Please help
[Microsoft Surface] Ishman:
I can confirm that you need to have the microsd formatted to NTFS. It works fine using this method. The exFAT will not work. This was tested on the 64 GB card.
[Microsoft Surface] illidanx:
Thank you for this tip. I don't need to use it yet but it will sure come very handy later on.
[Microsoft Surface] Sweetblu:
Please help me figure out how to do this. I really seem to be lost on how to be able to change the permissions and ownership of the key. I always get a message about not being able to change the settings.
[Microsoft Surface] illidanx:
Right click on the key and choose permission...I assume you are familiar with how security setting in windows works. If you are not, reply here and I can guide you step by step.

Note: you have to change the owner of the key from TrustedInstaller to Administrators first, only then can you give Administrators full control over the key.
[Microsoft Surface] joebeta:
I also need help.
[Microsoft Surface] illidanx:
Well here is how you change permissions using security setting.

Click on Permissions to open the "Permission for Appx" window. Click on Advanced to open a window like this:

Currently, the owner is TrustedInstaller. Click on Change. In the Select user or group window, click on Advanced..., the click Find now. You will get the list of all possible user/groups on your computer.

Select Administrators (the one with 's'), hit OK, hit OK once more. Make sure you select "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects", then hit OK once more. You should be back at the "Permission for Appx" window now. In this window, select Administrators and check "Full control" box under Allow. Hit OK the last time.

Now you have full control of the registry Appx folder and will be able to change every key inside this folder as you wish.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
For those facing the issue of reformatting a large SD card: there's a better option. SD cards, like all block storage devices, can be partitioned (legacy ones used MBR, I don't know about SDXC ones); they might use GPT. It doesn't matter, Win8 understands both). You might be able to use Disk Management, just shrink the existing partition on the card and then create a new one, format the new one as NTFS, and mount at E:\ or similar. If Disk Management won't do it right for removable media, use diskpart.exe (terminal user interface app, but with a good help system).
[Microsoft Surface] kenikh:
Great idea, but it doesn't seem to work. The option to shrink the volume isn't available from Disk Management, at least for my SD Card. It's a 64GB SDXC card. Oh well.
[General Questions and Answers] Nooby Arc S User:
So I had this 8gb micro Sdcard that came with my phone and for Christmas I got a 16gb one. I had a lot of precious stuff on the older 8gb, so I put it into an adapter and connected it to my PC, planning to backup the contents and then put it on the 16gb. But when i connected it in, it said "This card needs to be formated before using". I first i thought the adapter was broken, so I put the micro sdcard back into my android phone so I could connect my phone to the computer and do it that way but when it turned on it said "Sdcard ready to remove". The phone wouldn't recognise it either!

I have already put other micro sdcards in the adapter and they work perfectly.

I have a lot of precious stuff on the micro sdcard so if there is a way to fix it without wiping everything, I'd be really happy to hear it.

Will give the person who answered best thanks in all of their last 15 posts.
[General Questions and Answers] abbalooga:
Maybe try disk manager on your PC and see what format is says the card is..

otherwise try the phone again and again hopefully it will work. Ive had that before and a combination of playing with disk manager and the phone I managed to get the stuff off my card
[General Questions and Answers] sonnysonnyb:
i would try inserting it into your phone several times to try to get it to catch..also reboot phone while card is inserted..if you have to format the card you can still get everything off of it by using a program like "recuva" .. ive used it many times and it works like a charm..nothing is ever erased on a sd card..its only overwritten..so as long as you havent overwritten anything on the card you can easily get it back..formatting will not overwrite anything
[General Questions and Answers] sonymanw:
Connect your card to pc, open mini partition tool wizard. Click on your memory in program and next open.
[General Questions and Answers] Nooby Arc S User:
I tried putting the sdcard back into my phone several times and always didn't work :(. I went onto diskmanager and see screenshot below for info (it's g/ drive). I then tried formatting with various settings and always got a failure :( see second screenshot.

Format exfat next fat32. BUT first try use http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html,Install and open with this program your sd. I had this same problem, i opened sd in partition manager and i didn`t have to format. Do you have ex or swap partition on this card?
[General Questions and Answers] sonnysonnyb:
very handy tool,thanks for posting that.
[General Questions and Answers] Nooby Arc S User:
Hey. Thanks for the reply, I installed that program but it confuses me. How do i access my sdcard with it?

My sdcard is not partitioned or used for swap or anything.

Oh and I've tried formatting with exfat, fat, fat32 and NFTS and always fails :(
[General Questions and Answers] sonymanw:
Do you see your sd card in this program? If yes try wipe volume

I checked your screens and your card is RAW- file system is broken or is unknown to the windows , try this:

1

close ALL your programs, insert your sd card to your computer and ONLY WAIT,(15 min.) do nothing, dont touch mouse (weird? yes but your computer will try to repair file system, fot 2gb is less 5-10 minutes, but your is 8 gb class???, that wait more)

2 (optional, but you should try 3 point)

Format your sd with windows installerr (format it during window installation using windows setup disc) you can cancell instalation after format without probles

3

If still nothing (after 25 minutes) try this program http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html - IT IS LAST OPTION WITHOUT SPEND MONEY

Tell me if it worked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orgwizard:
curious is anyone else has seen this or anything like this. (picture attached)

we got two of these phones in mid december and I just noticed on my phone, while sitting in the dark using the phone, that an odd line becomes visible.

the brighter the screen, the more apparent it is or if I view the phone more from a side angle.

it rotates accordingly if if rotate the phone which makes me thing it's a physical problem with the phone.

I did a screen capture of the screen, and that didn't capture the line, so this is looking more and more like a hardware problem

my wife's phone seems to be fine.

the phone is basically new, opened on christmas, and never dropped. there's absolutely not physical damange to the phone and there's no apparent crack on the outer glass that I can feel or see and as far as I can tell, screen response is fine in the area.

the only thing I can think of is t-mo just shipped the darn phones together in one of those cheap bubble envelopes, and when i opened mine, some of the corners of the cardboard that the phone rested in, within the nexus box, seemd to be crushed in a bit, though again, there's no apparent physical damage that I saw externally.

anyone else seen anything like this, cause I've not heard of any other folks complaining about anything like this

wondering if i should try getting it replaced, though i guess it would require waiting for one to be shipped as i don't think any of my local stores have them yet. thoughts?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ak700:
Sends more like a screen defect than a crack. Try using a screen color test. If its still there, then do an RMA
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatalityBoyZahy:
CRACK IS WHACK.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orgwizard:
more pictures in case anyone else encouters it

just went ahead and ordered a replacement....but adding more pictures if anyone else encounters similar

does seem to be something with the hardware, as it was there with color test apps...just less visible when screen was darker
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
Looks like a screen defect to me not a crack. U did the right thing RMAing it. At least u have a usable phone while u wait.

If you shine a light across the face of the screen almost level with the screen and watch as you move the light from across to pointing down then you may see the line with more detail and maybe a reflection of it.

We the Team of Moderators do not read every post and thread, that is why we rely on great Members like yourself to report or PM the Team of Moderators to handle issues/violations seen or witnessed. Hope you understand.

ive been emailing htc back and forth about there stupid smart sync feature which turns off data/wifi from 12am-7am when the phone is asleep

heres there most recent response

"Thank you for your reply, Scott. I understand you would rather your own application for email and you would like for it to sync at night. Since is power saving option is built into the phone unfortunately this would not work at this time but I will forward you feedback to the appropriate department. HTC always value your feedback and suggestion.

With this battery saving feature, the reasoning of this feature is to conserve battery at night. With the built in battery it is actually suggested to remove it from the charger once it is completely charged. The type of battery that is built into the device can actually become damaged over time if left on the charger once it is completely charged. This is why the feature of it disconnecting from a connect point when the screen is off between 12am and 7am. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, Scott."

so is this true about the battery
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
anyone know?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
The battery may crap out on you in 4.9 years as opposed to 5 years.
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
i figured this was a bs statement from them stupid excuses for useless features
[HTC Droid DNA] cowisland:
The less you use the battery the less it wears out and the longer it will last. This is not bs. Also leaving it charged 100% for a long time also damages the battery significantly.
[Android Themes] MChaotic:
Is there any way to get HTC sense on an ICS rom for the HTC desire? I've had a look at launchers and couldn't find any that really worked. I also couldn't find any sense based roms I liked. So is there any way to put sense on my vanilla ICS rom? I'll be happy with anything in between sense 3 and 4, but I really don't want to change roms
[Android Themes] Shakes27:
Nope, sense is baked in. Not really anything you can do there. The main issue is that sense apps pull from a sense framework-res.apk, which means you can't run them on an AOSP rom. I'm not sure if the desire has a newer sense rom, but if that's what you want you'll just have to swallow the pill and flash the rom. IF it exists. If not check out miui, you might enjoy it.

EDIT: I should learn how to read, don't mind the part about finding a sense rom.
[Android Themes] MChaotic:
Thanks anyway, might look into changing roms as there isn't much else I can do
[Android Themes] Shakes27:
What do you want from sense exactly?

The interface mostly, and the lock screen. I had an HTC Explorer and really miss the look and feel of it. Oh, and the keyboards pretty good
