[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Empgamer:
I have just done a ROM upgrade to WM6.1 and plan to reinstall the various apps I hade on the TyTn II (which is only a week or so old). I have searched on Google and looked in the Wiki, FAQs and searched the forums with all manner of search terms but cannot find an answer to what may be a dumb question.

When installing apps is it better to install on device or storage (where the option is offered)? I would have though Storage better to keep memory on device free but wonder if certain progammes and any files they create when being used are better or essential to run on the device because of either pathname issues or speed of access?? Any help appreciated.

I plan to re-install:

Phat Notes

List Pro

SPB Wallet

Co-Pilot

Sprite Back Up
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
You understand the issues already. I don't use any of those programs so cant comment on them specifically but I install the few bit's of software I do use on my device and only Tomtoms maps, my music and my user created things like docs and photos go on my storage card - thats simply because there isn't enough internal memory to hold all of that and I don't want to run the risk of programs not being available if I take my card out (although that doesn't often happen). I've found that installing Tomtoms voices to internal memory sometimes helps prevent missing words and problems with voice navigation otherwise you could just test out things each way and see which you prefer.

People here have reported they can load many programs at once and the TyTN IIs memory management capabilities keep on top of the situation to prevent running out of internal memory. Unless someone else here has experience installing all those programs both ways, I suspect you'll need to try it and see which you prefer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pdaPhone_TM:
Personally as a guide, any program that requires autostart (e.g. all SIPs, SPB GPRS Monitor), I try to install in memory.

Any other program that starts only when I start them, I install into storage card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] The Reaper:
IMO, its better to load programs on your memory card so that you don't clutter up your phone memory and consequently slow it down (to be honest, i have never faced this on my TYTN 2, but i guess its a habbit from my Atom days...) I only load today plugins (like Ultimate Launch, RL Today etc..) on the phone 'cause these programs don't work if you load them on the card.

I use Destinator for GPS and this program installs itself on the phone by default, so I copy the destinator folder to the card and overwrite the shortcut for the .exe file in the windows>programs folder to make it work from the card...

So here's my pick

List Pro - Memory Card

SPB Wallet - Memory Card

Co-Pilot - Memory Card

Sprite Back Up - Memory Card

I like my phone clean...:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Empgamer:
Thanks. After more pondering I think installing all on the device may be better. I can get a full back of them all then using sprite and, as you say, if I take out the SD, or if it dies, I will have no access to data. The programmes are only small and even their files (which i suppose I could create on the storage) are small. I think that create on device, store on device and back up to storage may be better. I will be unlikely to install much else other than Mobile Shell and Phone suite by SPB.

That said I MIGHT go the Card route. No perfect answer I suppose. I'll try the ROM upgrade then a card install first perhaps. If I don't like I can always re-install on the phone. I suppose it's easy enough to back up the card contents and the back up/synch options with the programmes should allow back ups on the main PC (or even My Docs on the phone).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Prolab:
I second that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Before the Kaiser I used to put the few programs that were really system-related and/or that I'd still need if the card was out (utilities, explorers, startup items, programs that had today plugins) on the device, and all the rest and big apps on the memory card.

But the Hermes had 40MB free when fresh and empty after a hard reset. Now my Kaiser has about 120MB free when empty, so I just put everything in the internal memory, including MioMap with my country's map, and GPS tuner with maybe 10MB of JPG maps. The only exceptions are 2 very large apps (60MB together) that I anyway barely ever use but just have "in case", those are on the card.

And even after that I still have 35MB free on the device :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GWelker62:
It use to be a challenge choosing which ones go on main memory or SD card. Some were a no brainer, like Memmaid or Resco Explorer. The very nature of their operation dictated they are on main memory. As another stated, if it was a start up program it had to be on main memory. Sometimes it was a trial and error to find out.

With the Kaiser and its massive memory increase, now my rule is, everything goes to main memory and only games go to the SD card. I still have over 40mb left, and that’s more than my last phone had to start with!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Empgamer:
Having pondered even more!!!! Think I may go the device route for the small apps AND keep their files on the device (using the SD card for back ups along with the PC). I may do a split install for the Co Pilot sat nav. Seems more sensible to have the APP installed on the device but have its maps installed on an SD. Figure the maps will eat up a horde of memory on the device. I'll likely also use the SD for photos and music.

Having done it all the other way round I'm now ever pondering:

Clear Storage (hard reset)

Re-flash ROM for clean system

Hard Reset again (which seems to be good practice)

Install all in the right places!!!

All this MAY be a bit drastic and I wonder (seeing as everything is currently working!!) whether simply an uninstall/re-install of the apps might be good enough or even a hard reset followed by re-install. :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Hard reset already clears your system, no need to reflash. Do a hard reset and reinstall your stuff, that's it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Empgamer:
Thanks. I ay do just that. Only thing I didn't do (I think) is hard reset after I installed the ROM so I'm wondering whether to bite the bullet and completely do the whole lot again in case in not hard re-setting after flashing I've stored up some future problems.

Also, on the sat nav front, any thoughts on this? I was wondering whether to put both the programme (Co Pilot) and the maps on storage or put the programme on the TyTn and just maps on storage??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] goodpill:
i've installed nearly everything to the storage card. it might be a bit slower but i have had no trouble with anything... so far.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GWelker62:
I have to ask... what is the reason for installing everything to the SD card?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] goodpill:
i like to keep maximum memory free. usually only run a program or two at a time but i have some rather large data files in email etc.

just a personal preference from many years of pda's
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] mittfh:
My phone ('base' G7) had an unplanned swimming lesson yesterday (accidentally dropped into the bath, fished out within a couple of seconds of entry), and while the OS is still functional (evidenced by the alarm going off this morning!) and the hardware buttons still work (holding the power button for ~10s still forces a reboot - whereupon the OS successfully loading is marked by the alarm restarting) and I can do the volume down + power button reboot (which presumably takes it to the boot options menu, which obviously I can't see), but (a) how do I actually power the thing off (other than waiting for the battery to deplete) and (b) how can I enter recovery, so I can hook it up to my PC and backup all the data from it?

(Stock ROM, unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery, Magisk root)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] adinis78:
So i need your help to flash a stable working rom on my SM-P900 tablet.

I have had it for a few years now and i bought from someone that had rooted it. Now i want to use my tab to review photography taken with my digital camera.

Unfortunately my tab is running an old version of Android, version 4.1.x.

Looking for a stable version that still keeps the pen functionality and that allows me to access an external sd card, not a micro sd card like the one you can insert into the tab but one that i can connect to the tab via a sd card readers.

Also a rom that keeps some of the original apps that came with the tab, like google play and the sketch app.

I appreciate your help and again my apologies For putting this here. Thanks.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] adinis78:
Thanks for the reply, have you tried to connect an external sd card using an sd card reader? This is the main thing I want the tab to do, otherwise no point in going through everything
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Just made a test for you on my P900 running on lineage-14.1-20200505-NIGHTLY-v1awifi.zip.

With an OTG adapter one works and the other one doesn't.

So it will depend on the type you've got.

Before you flash don't skip the notice that you need to install the lollipop bootloader before flashing the new TWRP.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] adinis78:
So it can read external SD cards no issues?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
As I wrote one of mine worked fine.

This is the type:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-USB-3...1f0d171adc:m:mXqAHno94_dwBASYwFtZyKQ&LH_BIN=1

The other one is very old and has a separate cable and mini USB input.

Might be the reason.

Can't give a guarantee on yours.

Totally valid..but expecting same level of support from a 600 dollar flagship and 1500 dollar flagship is also not normal.. and that is what I meant by 600 dollars flagship. 900 dollars cut costs has to go somewhere. So as the flagships can be of different range,in the same way generalising as it is a flagship it should be as good as another company's flagship is not a valid reasoning.
