how to use the Slideshow panel? - XPERIA X1 General

Hi guys, very happy that I have finally received my x1 today
So far I am pretty happy with the device, and installed lots of stuff that works well. However I have tried downloading the Slideshow panel and don't really know how to set it up?
It just says no content found, and I can't figure out how to add content to it.
Anyone could give me a hand? I would assume that it probably requires me adding the files I wish to slideshow into a particular folder, but can't figure out where it is.
Any help is welcomed.
Regards,
Eric.

Hi ! Anyone knows how to change the default folder for the slideshow panel ?

I don't know how to change the default folder without reverse engineering something. The best way is to take a photo, then put all the images you want to slideshow into Device > My Documents > My Pictures > Camera > 100XPRIA
It's not the prettiest way to do it but it works.

Where to find camera.exe?

When I launch my camera, it is coming up part of the screen still showing whatever I had running before starting the camera (usually the today screen), and the controls to get to the settings, change to video, zoom, etc. are not responding.
My thought is to reinstall camera.exe or at the very least, install another copy and redirect to the new copy. Anyone have a cab or know where/how I can get another copy on to my phone? Or for that matter, other (free) camera software I can use instead?
I'm really trying not to hard reset - I've tweaked a lot of stuff onto Ultimate Launcher and Mobile Shell 2.0, and don't want to go through setting it all up again.
Thanks in advance...

The problem is not with the camera app, but with something else you have installed. If you want to hard reset and not lose anything, you can backup your files, or for something like UL, save your ".ini" file. It may help for you to post a screenshot.
Is there a replacement for the default camera app on the Touch? I find the default one horrible...

Save photos/beamed files in memory card

Hi all!
I've been searching these for an hour now....(just hope I've been doing that correctly...)
no clues though, so there it goes:
1.How can I change the file saving location in camera?
2.How can I change the file saving location when receiving beamed files?
Really hoping I am not being a great repetition...
Thank you!
You can change camera save location from the options of the camera to your sd card. However, I have not found a way to change the folder. It's always "/Storage Card/DCIM/100XPRIA/". There ARE in fact registry values which define this path, but changing them doesn't make the camera save to another location.

!! thank you...
silly I am, thought I had searched any menu and sub-menu ...apart from that one....even tried with advance configuration....
I don't thnk it would reasonable renaming folders though cos I believe the current set up helps other applications locating the photos-I think(ie pannel manager when running slide show panel)
Any ideas for the beamed files? SE officially says that this can not be changed.....

I BELIEVE if you use your custom bluetooth software (Such as Persian Blue) you MIGHT be able to set the destination.
There is a great App floating around here to allow you to save your bluetooth sent file Anywhere!!
Do a search for the HTC Bluetooth Inbox!!
Works great!!

TD2 camera: Date & Time filename

Hi all. I've been trying to find any posts on how to change the TD2's default photo filenames to date & time. It's so much better than the default 'IMAGE0001' and so on which says nothing about the picture other than how many photographs you've taken on your ROM before this one. Date & time is also helpful if for some reason the filedate gets broken by copying or making backups. It used to be configurable in the Diamond 1 camera settings. I want it back!
There are some posts about camera filenames but none that I could find were about the HTC ROM camera app. I've tried to find anything useful in the registry, but all i could find there was a way to change the prefix 'IMAGE' to another fixed prefix. It's not listed as an option in the Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3.
Can anybody give me some directions?
I've found two more possible suspects in the registry:
HKLM/software/HTC/camera/captparam/ enabledatefolder = 0
Not sure if this is what I want. I suppose this creates a date folder for every day that you take a picture, but the images themselves are still in the IMAGE0001 filename convention.
Then there's:
HKLM/software/HTC/camera/general/ filenametype = 0
BINGO! Or so I thought. Changed it to 1, nothing happened. Next images still in IMAGE0001 format, even after a softreset.
This key is different on my TD1 and TD2:
HKLM/software/HTC/camera/general/ EnableNewPromptStr4InnerStorage = 0
I have no idea what it does, but on the TD1 (with date filename option) it's set to 1. Changing it doesn't change filename OR the greyed out camera settings/advanced/prefix option. Changed it back to 0.
Tips are still very welcome. Thanks.
*bump*
I am also interested in this. Has anyone make any progress here?
I found the same problem in TP2. When I change filenametype to 1 then soft reset. Prefix setting still grey...
The reason this frustrates me is because I was able to tweak the registry to save my photos to a specific folder on my storage card on a previous device, but no matter what I set the registry to on my TD2, it only saves to My Docs or DCIM on storage card and I have tweaked everything possible for save locations.
Therefore when I copy the new pics from DCIM to my folder, I always have to rename them through windows. WTF?
I've moved on to the HD2, which has the same problem. It seems to have something to do with the storage location: put it on internal storage and you can change the filename prefix, put it on memorycard and you can't.
Here's a fix that works on the HD2, maybe it does the trick for the Diamond2

Great find thanks. I had changed the DCIM to "0" but never went back ito settings to see that it opened up the prefix.
No problem, just help me find out how to tell 'Albums' that the default directory for finding my photographs is no longer the DCIM folder but the My Documents/My Pictures folder. If we get that fixed I'll be 100% satisfied.
Oh and by the way, the HD2 is a killer machine

Do you mean so that it displays in the Manila tab?
If so, just go to the photo tab, select Albums and navigate to the new Album, then in menu set as favorite.
If not, please clarify.
haha that simple! Thanks!

Favourite icons....how to change

Was wondering if anyone happened to know how to change the icons for your favourite internet bookmarks on the internet screen.
Typically when you add the favourite it takes a screen shot of the webpage, but I'd like to change it to a different picture, maybe one I've saved myself.
Does anyone know if this is possible.
Also, I have a T-Mobile HD2, and wondered if anyone knew how to change the web 'n' walk logo that comes up once you have clicked a favourite.
Thank you advance for your help.
1. generate the thumbnails the normal way
2. go to \windows\thumbnails and copy all files to sd card
3. copy the files to your computer and modify them to your likings. make sure you preserve the file type and the exact names!
4. overwrite the old files with the modified ones in \windows\thumbnails
tip:
resize the thumbnails from 512x512 to 128x128. the internet tab will be faster and you will hardly notice any difference in quality.

Don't suppose you can work your same magic and let me know how to change this crappy web 'n' walk logo?

To be honest, I don't really know how to take a screenshot of my phone. Sorry.
But, when I click a favourite, or just click "Launch browser", a small T-Mobile web 'n' walk logo appears on the screen for a moment. It's about an inch wide and just stays on the screen until the browser actually launches.
I think that on non-branded phones, a short HTC clip plays before the browser launches.

ok, first go to \windows\opera9 and you'll find 2 png files:
Opera_loading_Landscape(...).png
Opera_loading_POR(...).png
open them and:
- if they are the ones you are looking for just copy to pc > modify (preserve the names!) > overwite the originals
or
- if they are the default opera spalsh screens with the htc logo then go to registry hklm\software\opera\info\ and you'll find 2 strings: spashscreenlandscape & spashscreenportrait. under the names you'll find the path to the splash screens you want to replace. go there, copy to pc > modify (preserve the names!) > overwite the originals.
i hope this helps, cheers

Was able to check in the Windows\opera 9 folder and it wasn't these pics, so will check the other option you've given later on after work!
Thank you SO much!
