Use Lg Rd2030 As A Backup Media

[Vishal Gupta 4]

Hi guys

i've done one gr8 experiment!

i have LG-RD2030 and my friend also has LG-RD2030

yesterday i went to his home and saw a wallpaper of size 274kb in his computer.

i liked that wallpaper

but problem was i had no floppy.

so i opened bitpim in his computer and save the wallpaper in "wavelet" directory

and then i opened bitpim in my computer and save the wallpaper from "wavelet" directory to computer.

then i deleted the wallpaper from "wavelet" directory.

so we can use our mobile as a backup device like floppy, using bitpim.

Just copy the requested file from one computer in the file system of mobilewith the help of bitpim and then again copy that file to the other computer and then u can safely delete the file from mobile file system.

Great find Vishal,

Now the next logical step would be to find out what is the max file size we could save like this.

I think U can put much more that - a single wavelet on my 7130 is 378 kb big - and I have stored 4 wavelets once - so my guess is it must be some where 1- 1.5 mb!! but yes - may be diff with diff models

thats a good news..!!!!

I think something of this kind was discussed earlier..

Well the space you are using for storing other files is actually reserved

for specific contents such as R-World downloads, and other such stuffs..

hmm,

So another use found for "Wavelet" directory.

All i wanna say now is that dont go storing any important information in there.

Cause that directory is volatile, and you may end up losing data.

hey pretender

if we store files in wavelet

then they are safe untill we download videos from R-World

so we can safely use it as a backup media.

and i check other directories too

such as icndl

but there is some limitations

when i stored that wallpaper in icndl

it was storing

but after some time it gave error

so there is size limitation

i think in all directories wavelet directory is largest

and we can make use of it

Total Memory

RAM 1 M byte

Flash 4 M byte

Java Memory

Heap 160 KB

Flash ~ 600 KB

That's For The RD-2030

maybe this data will help,

for converting the phone into a cheapo backup medium

hey static

can u tell me whats the use of "icndl" directory?

what it does?

and what its mean?

it is an empty directory.

what can we do extra with it?

[StaticElectricity 8]

good question,

well, look carefully at the phone's filesystem

see a folder called "meldl" ??

and then ther'es this folder called "icndl" ??

isnt it?

get any ideas?

well, as far as i can guess just as the "meldl" dir is used to store melodys i.e. ringtones

the "icndl" would have been used for storing icons/ wallpapers

but it.. for some reason , is not used.

that's all i can say
