Pictures/Videos registry hack for XDA 2i - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

As many might have noticed ... Whne you save an image or a video on your XDA 2i it saves the images/videos into a folder for each day naming it with a series of numbers relating to the date ....
anyway i would love to know if there is any kind of registry hack or any other way to save them all to a specified folder instead ... It becomes very annoying finding pictures , when they should all be stored in the one place. :shock:

Need Camera help

Hi
I just found out I have a little problem with my camera. It works perfectly but when cleaning up after all the installation its seems I deleted some of the templates used by the cam. Now I can't do a "picture theme" anymore as I have no templates for it.
Can somebody send me one from his, I only need one to avoid that nasty error when switching through the cam modes. You should find them on you PC in the synced MyDocuments folder under Templates.
Thank you very much.
Please with sugar on top.
I got this from someone in another thread not that long ago. The originals aren't there, but quite a few good replacements...
Just extract the cab file and chuck it on!
Lovely, thank you so much. That are way enough, I only need very few since I dont use that feature at all yet and I dont want to fill my ram with such things. But since I deleted them (dont know why) switching through my cam modes caused an error that no templates are there when reaching picture theme.
Do they install into the My Documents\Templates folder?

HELLO cowboy, I had the same problem few days a go ( see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28308&highlight= )
U just have to put this gif file inside the folder named Models (my documents > models >) and all will work fine...
Pay attention with file syncronisation...wt you erase on the pc folder will be erased on your Magician.
Cheers
Placido
Actually I found out it can be any gif file of those templates so you can chose a few that you actually may use someday. Those two are not really very useable, esp the large flashing one. That downloadable cab contains a few very nice that will work too.

2 questions reg. Camera and MMS

Ive got the S100 and have two questions.
1. Is there any way making the camera saving all picstures in the same folder? Right now its generating anew folder every day.
2. When I receive a MMS it doesnt connect with the contact list, wich means I dont get the name of the sender, just his/hers number. When receiving a SMS it will state who sent it with name taken from the Contact list.
All help appreciated!

there must be some registry tweak! I saw one in this forum, done it, but have no results...
After day-by-day using the camera, I have realise, that it is very comfartable. I mean the different folders every day - pics doesn't mixing.
relax, man, and enjoy!!!
You could install the latest version of the camera software, that allows you to customise how it names the files and whether it puts them in a new folder. While you're there you could try the latest version of the MMS software too, to see if that helps.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Extended_Roms/MDACompact_NL_1.13.125/
Camera_Wizard_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC28_Customize.CAB
CAB-Acrosoft-MMS-2.5.0.28-ENU-MagicianAKU2.6-13May06.CAB
And after you have installed the new version on camera (that don't create any folder, but save directly in /My Documents/My Picture by default) use this reg trick to save the picture where you want:
From a post that I've found in this forum:
"Get you're favorite registry editor (i use phmRegEdit) and go to the following key: HKLM\SOFTARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Image
You should find an empty value called "SaveFolder". You can change this to whatever you like (even invalid paths but it must be able to get created by the camera app). So if you set it to "\My Pictures" the pics you take will be stored in
(Storage Card)\My Documents\My Pictures\(some dated dir)\(somepicname).(some extension)
as far as i could see the SaveTo DWORD represents the storage location (0 = \My Documents, 1 = Storage card)
What i'd like to have is a tweak that does not create those nasty long dir names... just store the pics in "\My Documents".
Regards,
Fossalta
[Edit] You can do the same trick for the /Video key [/Edit] "
Bye bye
yes-yes-yes, that's what I'm talking about... But it is not working with default camera!

This is ...RC23..., but I have downloaded a ...RC28! Any difference? Yes< I found that thread, and alreade read it, but it is very many NEW camerasWizards and I don't understand which is newer...
+ I am talking about ALL .cabs in list of udates! What about their differences? And what kind of apps is they, I mean, what do they do?
6thElement - Thanx, Ill try it out!

Well, installed the "Camera_Wizard_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC23_Customize.CAB" wich only gave me another problem. The camera is only taking pics horisontal...

Well, cant see any difference actually...
Well, the original cab file for the MMS prog would be great as well, since the new one didnt work - at all
There's apparently not much you can do regarding picture quality but the latest camera software patch will fix up the snow problem on your pictures. You will still see snow on the viewer but the pictures will be snow-free
I have installed the rc28 camera and it gives total sh*t to today screen... I can't describe it... some kind of traces of launched apps remains and there is no wallpaper... I've perform the Hard Reset.
Camera app is working, but there is no difference. exept landscape mode onle, mms video mode (don't notice it in default app), and absent day-folders when saving.
ADVICE: DON'T install it!!!!
I don't know about the RC23 or RC28. I installed the patch by ampda (which is newer than RC23)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33305&highlight=
And the camera is great, you can take shots in landscape or potrait mode plus the snow problem is fixed as well.
What CAb did you install? There are some few that all regards the camera..
And does anyone know what the original version of the MMS prog is named, and where I can find it?
/n
There are individual patches but there is one cab that incorporates the patches and update the camera version. File is called
ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB
copy the CAB file to your \windows folder then run it on your handheld. Then make a backup copy the file \windows\camera.exe
The CAB will create a file called camera27b21026.exe or something similar in the \windows so rename that file to camera.exe
And there you have it.
For the MMS, will be something like this file on your EXT ROM
ftp://xda:[email protected]Mar05.CAB
THANX!!
If you install the RC28 camera file you just have to reset your today wallpaper and it will be fine, I think the same happened when I tried 23 too.

UNABLE TO CHANGE RINGS TO STOREGE CARD NO MATTER WHAT I TRY.

Hi all,
i've just bought the O2 exec.
i know that this has been asked a 1000 times already.. ive tried searching all the forums and they have the same hack...
but i've been trying to change the rings directory from "\Windows\ to '\Storage Card\" but some how no mattter what i try, it just dosent show me all the different ringtone that r stored in the "\Storage Card\Rings" folder....
can anyone plz tell me the exact registry entry
any help will do
another problem i have is when i apply the date&time hack for the titlebar, on my today screen, it overlaps the battrey icon... any suggestions...
thanx, frz[/b]
I dont know which way has been suggested before on these forums, but I myself found a way to set the ringtons to any directory on the phone:
I change the following two registry entries to the directory I desire:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\SavedSound
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Sound
For example, I change the data in these two entries to \Storage Card\Music\ArtistName\Track.mp3 from \Windows\Rings\Tone.wav
Seems to work fine for me.
i've been using the o2 mini with the big storage, and i never had a problem changing the sounds folder..
also ive noticed that the gif images i have set for contacts doesnt play.. they r just still images..
any comments?
frz

Anyone knows how to change Notes SAVE PATH in WM6??

Hi,
I already did my research on this topic using the search function provided.
However, I can't get anyone giving the correct solution.
So,
Did anyone here knows how to change Notes SAVE PATH ??
I tried to change the registry in :
(HKLM/Sotfware/Microsoft/Notes) from \Storage Card into \Storage Card\Notes
HOWEVER,
everytime I saved the new registry, and DO a soft reset, it always revert back to the original condition, and sometimes, the registry value is "\Storage Card\Notes" BUT when I save new notes, it was saved in the root of storage card (as usual).
Please help me to find solution for this one
Im using HTC Touch Diamond on WM6.1
Thanks so much guys...

I'm watching this myself.. I just wind up moving the damn things. Once they're moved, they stay where you put them, but anything new winds up in the root again.
I really should look into a better notes program anyway. I have yet to find one that operates in a sane fashion for WM.
Hello every one!
I'm facing the same problem.
Jmohik
Did you solve the problem? can you share the solution?.
I'd been trying to acomplish exactly the same, with no luck. I'd changed the reg keys to target "my" new paths, but the sys just ignore them.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

For myself, I solved this issue the following way:
When you open the Notes program, in the upper left corner you'll see a drop-down menu to select different folders. Choose the folder you want (I chose /My Documents/Notes), and that's it! After choosing it, all the new notes that you make are saved in that folder.

[REF] HTC Album - how to hide folders from

not many responses to this thread, so i don't know if anyone cares
but here is the solution, not too hard
1. on your phone fire up your favorite Registry Editor
2. go to HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored
a. if Ignored key doesn't exist create it
3. create a new String Value and name it anything you like
example: igo
4. set the Data for the new value to the full path of the folder to be ignored
example: \Storage Card\iGO8
note: all sub-folders will be ignored as well
5. restart your phone
note: the folder and it's sub-folders will not show up in Album
now that i can carry thousands of my photos with me
i realize that HTC Album gets crowded with sub-folders/albums
most are sub-folders with my photos and i guess i have to live with that
but also some system and miscellaneous folders show up
simply put a lot of finger scrolling
is there a way to hide / ignore certain sub-folders from HTC Album?
bumping
because i'd like to know if this is possible
i figured if windows and program files are hidden from the list,
there has to be a way to hide other unwanted folders
I don't think there is a way on the HD without something like resco explorer but, on your PC change the folder or file attribute to hidden before transferring to your HD.
bumping the solution
Thanks, this is great tip
tagging this so I can find it after each reflash
If you just want to keep photos out of TF3D album (so it will still appear in albums if ytou launch HTC Album but not in the TF3D tab) and it's easier: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1789
yopu just pick a folder as your favorite.

Hi Sir B, i am quite new to changing software on my phone, do you recommend a Registery Editor that i can use to hide an album as you described, its exactly what i need to do so home and work are kept seperate.
any help would be really apreciated

best thing i can recommend is to continue reading these forums,
you'll pickup many interesting new things and technics
many fine Registry Editors outthere
i personally use dotFred Task Manager it has a very good Registry Editor built-in
easy to use and powerful application
Hi, great tip by the way. Managed to hide the images coming from gAlarm. Is it possible to have the same thing for Music? I dont want those sound files from a third party app to be included in the ALL music tab, my quick fix is to use a playlist Thanks.
Excellent tip mate, surprised you haven't had many other responses!!
You are the Man!!!
I have been looking for away to do this for ages.
Ahh cool. Can this be made into some kind of batch file, so when you flash it can be added right back in?
Actually, is there a way to ignore everything and add the folders you want to include?

after you populate it the way you like export the Registry KEY
import after flash,
or
convert to XML or CAB and install
these topics are covered better elsewhere in this forum,
search for "UC or user customization" or SASHIMI

I am interested in that also. I have my phone record my calls as .mp3, and they show up as music in music player!
Excellent tips! Thanks a lot for sharing. Have been searching around for this solution. Some photos really cannot be seen by others, especially my kids. (U know what I mean?)
Wicked post!
This is a wicked post...
