I've put some icons on my Wildfire (Like 500), and I nicely organized them with 5 folders each containing 100, but when I go to the window to change the icon of an application it just shows all of the icons (500), and doesn't show any folders.
Does anyone know how to let my phone display the folders with icons in them instead of loading all of them in one time?

well, i am not much an expert but why dont you try downloading "picturen lite" from market. and then when you change an icon, select picturen lite to complete the action instead of gallery. see if it works....
Download quickpic from the market.
Also, I had another question.
When opening a folder it gave me the choice ''Open with Pictures/OI File Manager''.
I accidentally did ''Remember'' and I wan't to choose the other one now, what do I do?
Menu> settings> applications> manage applications, go to the app that is selected as default and tap clear defaults.
Go to Settings->Applications-> Manage apps-> choose the app you set as default and tap on 'Clear defaults'
Thanks, both of you !

Hey, some time ago i changed some things on my HTC HD and one of those things is my start menu. When i open the start menu i see a list of smaller icons than you see in the standard start menu. In the beginning you only see the 7 programs that you want your start menu to show. But somehow i've changed my start menu which shows the following now:
Agenda
Messages
Contacts
Internet Explorer
Notes
Telephone
-------------
//Recently opened apps
App1
App2
App3
...
-------------
Programs
Settings
Help
The problem is, is that i forgot how i did this... So i was hoping any of you could tell me how i did this.. If i get the chance all also try to add a picture of my menu and the default menu, so you get a better picture of what i mean.

Using a file explorer, you can add or delete new folders to your 'Start Menu' folder. Name them like: Web, Travel, Utilities, System and Media. Copy relevant shortcuts from you 'Programs' folder in your 'Start Menu' folder to each of these new folders. You will need to use a 3rd party file explorer to unhide system files and rom files to see the pre-installed icons to copy them to your folders. These icons are '.ink' shortcuts. Also copy the entire 'Games' folder and 'Office' folder from your 'Programs' folder direct to your 'Start Menu' folder. Finally uncheck all checked boxes in Menus in Settings page. This will allow all 9 folders to show in your Start menu on your home page, where you can access specific apps much quicker. Remember each time you install or remove a program/game, you have to either copy the new 'ink' icon to your category folder or delete it.
You can also use utility apps like HDTweak & Advanced Config to change size of Start Menu
If you go to Start/Settings/System/TouchFLO you also can change Start Menu size

Start the Album app, go to Menu, navigate to your desired Folder, select it, then go to Menu again and select Set Album as Favorite.

Hey All,
Does anyone know how to move default start menu icons such as Camera..
Just I think the start menu looks messy
Thanks in advance,
Crafty.
if you mean how to rearrange them inside the start menu, simply tap & hold on any icon, then depending on which rom you have, you can either tap on [move to top] or actually move the icon to a new position.
or.. if you mean how to move the icon to different start menu folder, use file explorer and navigate to /windows/start menu where you can cut & paste the icons jnto different folders. if your unable to see or move the icon link files, you can use total commander, which you can find by searching these forums.
hope this helps

Hi,
since i updated my DHD with the OTA update, i can see ALL pictures that are in the phone's memory in the picture galery app..
is there a way to told the picture galery to ignore some folders..
MOD edit: Moved to General
Cheers,
M_T_M
Yes. Add empty file called
.nomedia
In the folder
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
or when you load up gallery, click menu and show/hide folders then untick what folders you dont want to show
the main idea is to prevent friends/child or whatever to see pics that are not for them (like a sexy girlfriend for example)
the hide menu in galery is too easy ...
there is no password or something like that, so if you share your phone for 1 min to someone, he can found the hidden albums in 10 secs ....
I'll try the nomedia hopping that it will do the work...
One last question: how to remove the thumbnails without deleting the content ?
the .nomedia trick worked ...
but i needed to put this file on the parent directory, not the directory containing the pictures

hmm when i start gallery and klick on menu nothing happens, no menu is comming up. i wanna exclude some folders. how can i change that, is there any other way?
is the menu not coming up because its still loading/refreshing?
Update: wow its tricky to get this menu opened up...
i tried to put the .nomedia file in the parent folder, but it doesnt work....
i also cleared the cache of gallery, and after startup the same again.
i would like to uncheck some "system - pictures" wich i dont need in gallery
Question:
is there a programme, which actually shows the folder structure for pictures.
like my pictures -> test -> test1
-> test2
because gallery shows only
my pictures
test
test1
test2
I installed and application called hide it pro today (free) from market, it lets you hide anything with a password. Installs as 'audio manager' and there is a hidden button in that to get to the login screen. Pretty nice!

When I load gallery, if I hit menu nothing happen.
Then I select 'All photos' then hit menu and only 3 buttons appears: 'slide show', 'Define as', 'Select reader'.
So nothing about 'show/hide folders'. Where do you find that ??
Thanks
Other way to hide folder from gallery is to name it ".anyfoldername"
The dot in the beginning is the key. My windows computer would not let me create such folder, so I made one in my phone and then moved files to it from a computer.
By the way, in Gallery all photos are displayed 'flat' whatever the folder hierachy is.
In other word, I cannot browse photos by folder they belong to.
It was possible in my previous Magic with many different ROMs (stock 1.6, Cyanogen,...).
This is quite anoying because I have +400 photos stored in +10 folders.
Scroll down and there you should be able to see the folders...

I had to delete application data through Application settings for it to rescan.
It found my folders

Yeah, this sucks, on winmo htc sense this was possible... unfortunately HTC Sense for android in some aspects has taken a step back...

yeah pretty useless too
the files are accessible uncrypted in a .myVault folder ^^
i first througth the password was crypting the files (because it took some time)
but no the files are freely visible
ok at least there are not in the galery
Is there a way to create a folder/s in the menu and put the applications on it ?
I want to put all of my games (icons) into 1 folder called games.
And some applications into another folder.
Im using CM7 btw..
Thanks.
There are a few apps that allow you to put apps into folders - normally for the homescreen, but actually having folders, a-la windows 6.5, i havent seen im afraid.
Yea, the folderes r not in the home screen.
In the menu, when window button pressed, there is Setup Group option, but when i choose it, it says "You can not setup this group"
Thanks for ur answer btw kinsago
You have to create a new group, then set it up. You can't edit the original group. After you make the new group you can exclude apps though. I still wish there was a way to put folders in the app drawer though, it's a mess with a ton of apps all just thrown in there alphabetically.

Exactly.
So no way to do this at all ?..
You can make a new group/catalog (let's call it "Games") using menu at app drawer. Then scroll right - you'll see empty screen. Now you can setup this group - by choosing which applications (games) should be visible on it. This way you've got main screen with all aplications, but by scrolling horizontal you can choose another groups with chosen apps (Games, Office and so on)
I also do not know any way to create folders at main App drawer screen
Yea, i got it.
The problem is the app icon not moved to the group, still in the main App drawer, just like copying instead of cut.
