i've got my X10a for almost 2 days, i'm quite new to Android. after load some of my pictures to the SDCard, but couldn't see them within to phone. could someone let me know what format does the X10 support or do i need some other software to view & play the video on the phone?
Well, the x10 supports jpg atleast. But I think that it should support, png and BMP aswell. I never really use anything other than those file types.
as for video, does it support mp4. if you want to play any other formats, you should download yxplayer or whatever the name of the app was

thanks for reply, those are most of my pictures format too but still don't know why they're not show up???
edit:
all my pics suddenly show up. maybe my storage card was being used by some other app or something.
Well, what kind of format of contact pictures you use. Mine are a kind of blurry when people are calling me.
What is the best resolution so you can see them sharp?
Cheers,
Arnold

If the phone is mounted by a computer then your phone won't be able to read the SD card until you eject/disconnect from the PC.

Is it possible to have videos stored on the SD card appear in the video manager interface in the cube? It's strange and frustrating that music files on the SD card will appear in the audio manager, but not pictures of videos, at least that I can find. am I missing something?
Hi, i´m new in this, but:
move your video files to a folder called DCIM\100MEDIA.
It's what I did, and it works.
Probably there is a better way, but i'm a beginner.

Thanks. this works for my pictures, but if I put videos into that folder, I still can't see them. do I need different sub-folders for pics and vids?
I moved my videos from my old nokia to that folder and I can see them in the video app in te cube. Mi software is the Vodafone spanish version, may be differences. Sorry.
What format are your videos in? Probably only works for formats that the camera will take movies in. i.e. not if they're .avi's.

Hello all,
I was curious about the possibility of editing the windows/Transformers.exe to allow you to place other movies into the sd/transformers folder and update the exe allowing you to utilize it as a movie browser/selector. I placed some other movies into the folder and renamed it "movies" however I do not know how to edit the .exe to recognize them or even if this is possible.
I would be curious if this is possible as it would allow you to place shortcut on program grid in Sense for faster/easier browsing of movies.
Does anyone know of any way to place link to a folder into grid. If this were possible the issue would be mute.
Thanks for any input regarding this!
Transformers doesn't have a separate movie browser. It uses the HTC vid app. Its just the way the movies were formatted that make them look so good.

Looks like you didn't really read the OP, I think he's asking if there's a way to add movies to the list that you see after launching Transformers.exe
To OP:
I think it may be possible depending on much of the assembly is hackable

My bad... Reading is fundamental! I'm going to assume there has to be a regedit that points to the transformers movies.
I know this is a lame answer, but why not just put your movies in a folder and fire up file explorer?

Sense style file explorer would look like that, that's why.
Okay, okay. Resco 2010 can be themed to look (and act) a heck of a lot like sense, and it supports thumbnail previews and all sorts of rich media browsing experiences. And it's just a file browser, too.

Thanks for the input. Maybe I will give that a try. I suppose a better solution would be the ability to link to folders thru Sense interface rather than having to open a file explorer type prog.
For now I suppose a folder in the start menu will have to do. Thanks again!
I will try encoding a video file to the same specs as the Transformer movies and put it in the folder. Although I have noticed and mp4 file will use that video player to view the file.

How can we find out the specs for the pre-loaded Transformers movies? And what do you recommend we use to convert movies we may have on our PC's?
connect you phone to your comp as a disk drive. then go to the transformer folder and right click on either file and click properties
Interesting Question
I could be completely reading into this wrong, but let me throw my two cents in.
My buddy and I were discussing how we loved watching the Transformer's movie, especially because you can use the seek function without leaving full-screen mode. If you use windows media player, when you tap the screen in fullscreen mode it immediately reverts back to windowed format.
Someone else had already mentioned above how the transformers.exe uses the HTC video player. However, if you open a program in File Explorer it uses Windows Media player. Basically, I wanted to be able to use the HTC video player for all my videos.
Thankfully this is possible to do, it is just annoying. Here is how you can watch videos using the HTC player:
1) Start Menu > Albums
2) Tap on "Albums" at the bottom left-hand corner (softkey)
3) Under Storage Card or My Device, tap on My Videos (or the name of the folder where you have your videos)
4) Tap on video
By doing this, you can utilize the awesome HTC video player!
I hope this helps with what you were trying to do.
Yeah, I tried the same thing as going through the file explorer isnt one click access (unless you always leave it in the Movies folder). Here's one alternative, but the GUI needs a little work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520604. It would be cool if someone picked up this project and improved it just a little. But, it works at least though.
that program would be awesome if it's polished up.
Yea, I was kind of wanting to encode the movies to avi to save space. I didnt know how to get the shortcuts to link up with the other movies instead, so I havent done it yet.
how bout a shortcut

maybe you guys can help me out...
i removed transformers from my sd card and onto my computer in an effort to conserve space.. but now i realize that i'm not gonna use all the space.. so i decided to put the movies back on sd card.. the only issue is that now my transformers shortcut.. doesn't work.. it gets to the page where i have to click either transformers 1 or transformers 2.. then when i select one of them.. it states that the media cannot be found..
so yea.. i was wondering if anyone can assist me in making that shortcut work again... i'm assuming that i have to direct a file using a registry editor.. or something... i think something along those lines.. i can't imagine this being really all that hard.. so please someone help me out and kinda guide me through it.. any suggestions?>

There has to be and I just haven't found it yet. When I just copy past a shortcut, it never works when I go to the start menu and click on it. Although, if I'm in Windows folder and click on it, it opens the Movies folder.
thanx

Try reinstalling the transformers.cab with the movies already present in \Storage Card\Transformers
I expanded my SD and moved Avatar from the 2GB card onto a 16GB, however i am not sure where i need to place the file so it links up with the avatar icon on the device. Any help would be great!
avatar.dcf goes into a directory called Movie on the SD card
The icon wont work but you can put it anywhere and run it from the movie player.
I downloaded the system dump and tried to install the avatar.apk but it didn't work. Is it even possible for me to install it?

why would you want to its just a shortcut that launches the movie. not the movie itself
Not trying to be a douche but this isnt android development.
Were you able to successfully move the file. I've heard it can't be moved, if it can be moved that would be awesome so I can put my 16GB card in my phone.

I was able to move it to my dad's 8gb card. I put it in the supplied card reader and put it in my computers card reader. Then i attached the phone to the computer with the supplied cable with the 8gb card IN THE PHONE. Next i just did a simple cut and paste with the movie folder on the T-Mobile 2gb memory card.
ETA- It works with the icon too.

ok wen u copied ur 2gb to 8gb u just moved the files, this is wat u need to do so it can work, will work on any size card.
the avatar movie file is a dcf. it loads using DRM protocol on the vibrant. it can't be distributed to another system. unless you can get around the rights usage on it. which i can't. lol
the 3gp file is just a 3 minute trailer the actual movie file is a dcf file and is 1.4gb, the "avatar" icon in the apps menu is an actual app the plays the dcf file for the movie. right now im trying to copy both the dcf and the 3gp file to my sd card from my friends new vibrant then i adb pull /system/avatar/ /android for the apk file to install on to my nexus one. we'll see if the apk will install.

The trailer file is a 3gp but the actually move is a dcf
Adb pull /system/apps/avatar and pushing it to any other phone doesn't work. I think it looks for a signature of the phone model and if it doesn't match up it wont install. Maybe some editing of the files will help make it work. Also with some research of the 1.4gb file dcf file is actually encrypted so either the vibrant or the app has the key. I will look into this further when I get a chance to mess with my buddy's vibrant again. The dcf file has a better resolution than one I can make with my copy of the DVD into a 3gp which is my reason for doing this.

Do you have the SD card in the phone, and are the movies in the "Transformers" folder on it? That's how it should be from stock, but I don't know if you are the original owner of the phone, etc
I am the original owner and the movies are in that folder. Thanks though.
Hey Reynaldo...that is my dads name cool!
When you are trying to click on the movies you don't have your computer connected to a computer with the data cable because depending on what option you select it unmounts the SD card making everything on there inaccessible so it is like it is not there...also...you didn't format your card did you. go to file explored and looks on the sd card and look for the folder that says transformers...if there is no folder then there are no movies. the quicklink might still be there but not the movies.

+1...phone was likely plugged into USB/disk drive mode. Why didn't I think of that? lol
What program are you using to view pictures on the SD card from the dock? Gallery doesn't see them; Just pictures dosn't see them; I can browse to them via file tool, but then can only look at one picture at a time...can't slide screen to see next.
For now, I copied the folder from the SD Card to the internal memory.
I wish it works out of the box just like that.
But I also hit another problem. The video captured from my canon camera (AVI) cannot be played/recognized by the Gallery program.
So, I still need to open one by one using other player. With they all can be recognized and played within the gallery. Oh, well.
(One purpose of me buying the transformer is to view/play the pictures and videos captured by the canon camera during a trip).
Has anyone tried JustPicture ?
http://www.justpictures-android.com/
It says it supports viewing from SD Card. I will try it when I get home later.
Hopefully it also plays my AVI video.

Yes, as I noted in my original post, it does not work. Does work for the SD mounted in the TAB, but not the one mounted in the DOCK.
Quick Pix works just fine. You have to add the directory under settings.
