Camera Pics Location on 2i

I've looked on the registry and tried fiddling but resulted in a) a crash that required a soft reset and b) message saying couldn't save the file when i changed the picture location to \my documents\my pictures.
Whenever I save a picture on the 2i it saves it into a folder in MD with the date as the folder name, with the picture stored in it. Any way to change this?

Did you manage to get a solution to this - I'm looking for exactly the same answer. There is a possible reg key, but changing that caused problems.

Also for me.
I've a Qtek 2020i from few days and I would like to know store all the photos in one folder.
At the moment I set the path of saved photos (SD card) but I want to have all the photos in one foolder instead of multiple photos in multiple folders. :?
Bye !

Still no work around for this ?

No news for me

I never did get an answer no, and I've given up looking for one myself.

I was thinking of creating a small apllication that you could run to move the pictures/movies from the numeric folders to a default folder such as My Pictures, im reading up on how it could be achieved at the moment.

On my xda 2, I made a directory on storage card, and they are all in that folder. What happens with yours? You can prefix it with anything you like, I call mine pic and it increments pic_001 etc. The settings are under camera, then click the spanner/screwdriver, then click tools, then click options. I changed the prefix to string and defined the string in the next box down under prefix string, the folder is changed under folder by clicking change.

For some reason the "Folder" option is missing on the XDA 2i so even though you can select the location (Main memory or storage card) it still saves it in \My Documents\xxxxxxxxxx <--- the x's refer to the date ie
05071800001 , 05(year)07(Month)18(Day) the rest is the folder number i think ? 00001 ?
Why they never used the same configuration as the other phones is beyond me but nevermind !

Trouble changing the path to the SD
Hi there,
I'm using i-Mate JAMin, win mobile 5 and the only available options here are Main Memory and Network. In other words I cannot change to save the photos and videos to the SD card. Please, help!
P.S.: I also tried setting a new path within the registry settings, changed the path to '\Storage Card\My Photos\' with no luck - it creates the directories under the 'My Documents' in the main memory. It's a big pain in the ass b/c I don't have enough space to make lots of photos or clips.

More Sounds. Any ideas?

I want more sounds on my device much like my PC.
I want a different sound for:
MSN contact online
MSN Paging Me
Calander reminders
Oulook eMail notification
XpressMail eMail notification
SMS Messages notification
And probably others later
Anyone have any ideas as to registry hacks to add sounds for items that use the default sounds and how to change them?
Raptor

you should store any sound media files in MyDocument folder and go directly to Setting-Personal-Sounds&Notifications to set them as you need.

Don't know if you have been to Sounds & Notifications lately, there is a very minimal selection of items to apply sounds too.

I use my SD card for all sounds.
First if you create a My Documents folder on the SD card and dump wav files in there, the Phone App will look in that directory on your SD card and you can choose ringtones without doing anything.
The only directory that I found that Sounds and Notifications picks up is Windows. You can dump WAV files in the Windows directory and it will pick them up under Sounds and Notifications.
For the sounds and notifications though it does not automatically pick up any directory except for Windows folder. (I think. I haven't found any other directories that it picks up. I tried putting WAVs everywhere and unlike for Ringtones the only directory that works is Windows)
Since I have a bunch of WAVs I just use my SD card and I would rather not clutter up my Windows directory or use up the space on my phone.
So what I have to is this.
First go to sounds and notifications and set your sounds and notifications. Just choose whatever sound is available. (Doesn't matter to what)
Then use a registry editor and go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
There are a bunch of subkeys and each pertain to an event. For each subkey look at the (Default) Value and that will tell you for which event that key is for. i.e. for new e-mail the value is "Messaging: New e-mail message"
Then just edit the "Wave" value and set it to your wav file. Do not use the extension though. If your wave file is example.wave then just put in example.
The path I use for my notifications is the following value:
\Storage Card\My Documents\example
Assuming that there is an example.wav in the above directory. Obviously just change the above path to wherever your wav file is. I have not tried using any other sounds other than wav files so I don't know if you can use mp3's or mid or other sound files.
This at least works for the default notifications. I don't know how to add new sound events for the examples you were giving.
NOTE
If you set these registry settings try not to go back to Sounds and Notifications or you will lose the settings. Then you have to set them again using the above steps. When you exit the Sounds and Notifications applet since it didn't recognize the paths you changed the wav files to, it will just put back the default like alarm1 or something so then you have to change them again.
Hope this helps

making custom ringers in sounds and notifications
wussup man.. maybe i can be of help.. i just got my vario a few days ago and ran into the same problem as you. i dont like the default sounds for the sounds and notifications too. what u need to do is if u wanna add sounds to any of those, u need to make sure that your sounds are in WAV format. then they will show up in the list.. hope this helps.. good luck kid

Am I speaking Greek? :-(
But Seriously, maybe I am not communication properly. I want to add sound events such as when a new contact somes online from MSN or any other IM product, I want a unique sound. This is not currently an option in sounds and notifications, I want to add my own if anyone has any ideas on how to do this.
Raptor

Found this on MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...lui5/html/wce50conhidingsystemsoundevents.asp
I guess you would have to add the event directly into the registry. BTW, this is for CE5.0 not WM5.0 but should be something similar of which events might be available.
I found several notifications' keys in my registry that had no Default values (event name) nor Wave (name of sound file). For example when the battery is low it will play lowbatt.wav if it's available in Windows dir. But this low battery event does not show in Start>Settings>Personal tab>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications tab. To add it go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
Create a String value named "Default" and set the value to "Low battery warning". Then go to Start>Settings>Personal tab>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications tab, and there you'll be able to select "Low battery warning" and customize it.
Now if we could only find out what keys define the other extra events.

While we are at it, I found this. Apparently It is for changing the default tap click.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...tml/wce51conwaveformaudioregistrysettings.asp
And this:
Sounds (and soundevents) are all over the place.
So far as I know there are 4 places:
- 21 general sounds in HKLM\snd\ in a 21 line multiz string (possible to include paths) See previous post in thread.
- phone sound events in HKCU\Controlpanel\SoundCategories and Sounds
(don't have a phone so I cannot be for sure)
- System Notifications/warnings in HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications
- Screen Taps & Hardware buttons in WAPEAPI.DLL, WAVE\100 to 103
where HW buttons (Loud/Soft) = 100 and 101
Screen taps (Loud/Soft) = 102 and 103
(see attached image)
The latter have to be transplanted with Resource Hacker. Dunno if you can overwrite the WAVEAPI.DLL in de \Windows folder. But it is worth a try.
EDIT: the waveapi.dll.0409.mui is used on my system which is overwritable ;O)
UPDATE: Works splendid. Very nice sound effects (using all above together) Laughing
ps: don't forget to keep a modified copy on your Memory card. After a hard reset the default waveapi.dll.0409.mui will return from ROM.
(or make a proper backup everytime you change something like I do)
Tip: use sndrec32.exe to edit you wav file and do wav conversion
Tip: if you overwrite a \window system file you can always delete it again and do a soft reset to get the original back.

Hi All my sounds are wav, but they still don't wanna play. I put them in the windows folder, but they don't play. All are 22000Khz 16 bit stereo max 120kb files. So nothing big. But can't make them to play, even if there are selected.
What should I do?

C# ALert Tone Change

Does anyone have the code / API that will allow a program to change a message tone? (WM5)
I've searched about but haven't come up with anything yet.
The idea of the application is to look into a specific folder and read all .wav files in there, then every hour or so change the message tone to be a random file.
Thanks in advance

UPDATE
have changed the solution to overwrite a Tone already set up - message.wav - however I am having problems overwriting it.
It works OK if you go to Sounds and Alerts and choose message.wav and click OK, then run the application - it overwrites successfully, however after that it won't overwrite again
I think it may be due to some caching of the file to keep it in memory for some time, but haven't ascertained this properly yet
I'll let you know if I can find it then will post the application - my main purpose for it is to have a random TV (mostly blackadder) quote play when I get a message

I'm not sure, but to me it sounds like you may have to change the registry entries for the alerts.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\
And look for the one(s) that you need to change.
You can do that easily in C#, there are classes for accessing the registry and making the changes.
Sound files must be stored in the /Sounds folder.
Good luck

Setting custom sliding keyboard open/close sounds

It requires some registry editing, so as usual, mess with this at your own peril.
Here are the steps:
1.) Prepare/get two sounds files. One will be used for the sound when your keyboard slides open, and the other closing the keyboard. I'm not sure what sound files formats are acceptable. The ones that I used, which work fine, are 22khz 8bit mono PCM .wav files.
2.) Name the closing sound #_in.wav and the opening sound #_out.wav (where # is any number greater then 2 because 0 1 and 2 are taken up by the default sounds). I am assuming you can add as many as you want, and just keep them in the numerical sequence. You might be able to name the sounds files anything you want also, as long as they have a corresponding entry in the registry, but again I haven't tested that assumption.
3.) Copy the sound files to the \Windows folder on the Mogul (not in a sub folder below Windows!).
4.) Using a registry editor navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SlidingSound.
5.) Create a new key with value of the next available number (eg. 3)
----A.) In this new key, set the (Default) string value to a friendly name for your sound (eg. Star Trek Communicator)
----B.) Create a new String named in with a value set to name of your sliding in sound file (eg. 3_in.wav).
----C.) Create a new String named out with a value set to name of your sliding out sound file (eg. 3_out.wav).
6.) Close the registry editor, and go to Start->Settings->Personal tab, and tap on the "SlidingSound" icon to pick and test your new sliding sound set.
Here's a link to several slider sounds I put together:
Rapidshare Link to Mogul Sliding Keyboard Sounds
Included are a long and short transformers sound set, and a light saber sound set. The light saber set is courtesy of PDAPhoneHome forums member Wizzums. The long Transformers sound set I made by downloading it off a website, and reversing it in a audio editor for the closing sound. I thought the sound was too long, so I made shortened/sped up version. I also included .reg files you can import, for those too lazy/scared to create the registry entries themselves.

AWESOME. Love the Tformers sound.

if you look at the ppc geeks thread you can see where i also posted a shotgun sound set too
im glad you enjoy that hack i got bored one day and was browsing the registry and saw that set, fiddled a bit (just used logic mostly) and it worked

how about this for the sliding sound?

how do you install/use PHM edit?

please explain how :[

new!
im new to this forum thing. but i have the sprint 6800 & im trying to do this sliding sound thing. but how do i do the registry thing? where do i go for that? is it in the phone or something i have to download? please help!

There is a really easy way to do this on the HTC Wing
1. Set your Sliding Keyboard to Wind chimes sound. 2. ActiveSync. 3. Copy and Paste these two files into the Windows directory. It will ask you if you want to replace/overwrite the ones that are already there. Now when you open and close the Keyboard you will hear The Star Trek Original series Sliding door sound. No registry editing needed. Its really cool.
If you want to save the Wind Chimes for later use just copy and paste the files with these two names out of your Windows directory to a file on your PC.
Enjoy!

One Additional Thought
You can also go into the Registry afterward and change the name from Wind Chimes to Star Trek Door or whatever you want and it will show in the menu on your Keyboard Sliding App.
Also you can change the other two default sounds and rename them.

replace all 3 sounds
Here is a zip file to replace all 3 default sounds on your wing just copy and paste these into the window directory on your phone and replace the default sounds.
You can rename all three
HKLM\Software\HTC\SlidingSound......
0 = change to Star Trek Door
1 = change to Whistle
2 = change to Transformers
Enjoy!!!!

I did this a while ago when it was 1st posted over on ppcgeeks. My problem though is I can only add one set of sounds when i try to add a 5th sliding sound it wont come up on the sliding sounds menu just the stock 3 plus my star trek doors ive done. can there be more the 4 choices or am i gonna have to copy over one. Ive done the same reg edits that i did to make the doors work

i have 6 on mine, stock 3 plus 3 custom
make sure you are adding a new (and unique) reg key for each set of sounds you want

Has anyone figured this out for WM6? I had changed my sliding sounds before I upgraded the ROM, and now when I try to put it all back, the registry isn't the same. Help?

Gah nevermind I'm a blind doofus. Carry on!

If your placing the sounds into the windows folder doesn't it get over written every boot? I've tried to make this work with my tilt using the sounds from this side. I can preview them but I can't get the noise to happen when I slide it. There is no noise at all infact unless I pic the old ones.

I also have custom sounds at my website. I can also make your sounds into a cab installer that will install and un-install the sounds. I have made a few so far. Check it out.
MeGa
PS - Info is in my sig

This same process works for the HTC TYTN II/AT&T Tilt.
This is what I put on mine. It's the shotgun reload sound from Half-Life. There is a short and long version. Short for the open, and long for the close.

cool excellent work guys.... i was actually just thinking of doing that the other day... I have a good 1 to add to the list. Whos a FINAL FANTASY FAN HERE LOL.... Victory sound that would be GREAT to add !! =)

hey wats good i fallowed ur step by step instruction the the wing but i get an error saying cannot copy slider0_in be certain that thurs enough memory(witch i have)that the destination is not write protected and that the file is not currently in use please tell me wat needs 2 b done

this is the one i use...
door opens for out
door closes for in
i made star trek files as well, but the bridge door wav that has saturated the intertubes doesn't reverse well (sounds the same), likewise with the light saber.
i thought about getting the simpsons sounds where ralph is playing with the flag on a mailbox...up = laugh (or out, for us), in = cry (in, for us) but everytime i start going through wav sites, i end up spending too much time downloading things for ringtones and alerts, lol. i have a jetsons messaging notification, and oodles of ringtones and alert sounds now...

I can Chose storage location either to save pictures on Phone memory or storage card . But even when i chose storage card the camera application makes a DCIM folder in storage card and save pictures and videos there .What i need is a cab or a registry tweak to save picture in storage card/My Documents/My pictures and videos in Storage card /My Documents/My Videos directory . as in our old Kaiser days a program named Advance configration tools3.3 can change these settings but this program cant change it in HD2 .It shows the path is changed but the camera still save it to the Storagecard/DCIM directory .

Plz help. Nobody knows how to do it .....?

Im intrested in this too if possible?

I triple that. I want to know as well.
I don't like having contact pictures that I take show up and saved in the same folder as the pictures I take with my camera.

Actually your help yesterday let me adjust the settings back to the original default options (so my pictures again at least showed up in the Sense pictures tab).
What I was originally trying to do by playing around with all of the registry settings was what all these people are asking.
I was trying to set the default folder for pictures taken with the camera as anything other than \Storage Card\DCIM.
There appears to be no way to overwrite this setting.

It never ceases to amaze me how rude people can be when some of us ask simple questions.
I'm sure HE DID search for an answer, but found none, and your reply was wrong. There was NOT an answer on THAT thread.
I read THAT thread and the question is still "up in the air."
As far as I can see, making any changes in the registry is futile with regard to camera image storage location. I've tried them all, including the ones referenced in THAT thread noted above (WRONG!). None work! The pictures STILL get stored in a DCIM folder on the storage card.
So, even I am still waiting for a solution. Oh well.

Is there anyone out there that still has this problem, or even knows how to fix it?
I've changed enableDCIM to 0
Changed HKLM\system\pictures\camera\OEM\picturelocation
to "\my documents\my pictures"
A registry search for DCIM turns up one result, the enable DCIM setting....
All locations that I've checked refer to the "My Pictures" folder.
I've created the folder in my documents, and in the storage card top level, deleted the DCIM folder, restarted the phone and STILL, when taking a picture it goes to DCIM.... Does anyone know if theres a file somewhere where this is stored?? I'm going insane with having to move my pictures from one folder to another all the time...

I had the TP2 before and I was able to just use advanced config to put my pics in to my pictures, and, easily view them from the sense tab, further more, I was able to have the pics named with the date and time, so I would not be over writing any pics after a flash.
I to have fought with this for a couple of weeks and finally just gave up and am currently using the DCIM folder to store my pics.
With my TP2, it worked great, it has to do with the actual camera app, on HD2, you can select your store location from there, TP2 camera app has no option of where to store, it is all handled with registry/advanced config.
Good luck, but I don't think there is a solution to this currently.

Yeah it's odd that there's all these registry entries, but they seem to do nada...

Hi, firstly, sorry for my abruptness earlier in the thread.
I hadn't looked in to the problem, and i was assuming that what was true for other devices was true for us.
So, i had a look at it this evening, (tho im no tech, im kinda flying blind with hex editing) an as expected the save path is hard coded.
Get Camera.exe
Not sure whether you can extract it from the phones windows folder, I got mine from within a
kitchen.
Disable read only file attribute
Open it up in a hex editor and find
line 596,350 (hex 0009197e) or there abouts, and change DCIM to Pics
see two images, (ignore the fact the line number changed in pic2, )
Save Camera.exe, and copy it to your phone, overwrite the Camera.exe in your phones
/Windows/
folder. You might need to use something more than the default file manager, I used resco.
Or you could use a cab to install it.
Next time you take a pic it will save it to Pics/100Media
Notice that Pics is 4 letters like DCIM so the file size stays the same.
When i tried to insert data to call the folder SamsPics, camera.exe failed to load.
I also changed the two registry entries
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Pictures\Camera\OEM\PictureLocation changed from \DCIM\ to \Pics\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\General EnableDCIM to 0
however i didnt do tests between each change, so not sure if they do anything.
(update, i forgot to check at the time and i just flashed back to default so can't check, but i think one of teh flashes I had it working with the Pics path without changing those two reg entries, just the hex editing, so try it without first,.)
To fix manila photo tab showing no images found,
take a pic to make sure folder has been created
then from pics tab
albums - albums - select album probably called 100media
then
menu - set album as favourite
For the prefix IMAG I couldn't find how to change it, other than it pics up from the last IMAGxxx name in the target folder.
There is a section in the camera.exe where the code contains the string \DCIM\100Media around code line 675,954 but changing that seemed to have no effect.
So all in all, not too usefull, can only change to 4 letter folders, cant change prefix, cant get rid of 100media folder, but a step in the right direction., unless someone knows how to replace camera.exe in my kitchen with one of a different file size (or maybe how to trim space from elsewhere to leave the same filesize? I'm new to hex editing, but would love to learn more about hacking files like this, if anyone has any pointers)

I was able to change it to save to the Pictures folder without any problem. I did it on my first try, so I don't know that I even have the error... But what I did was over write the DCIM and 100Media with Pictures; then I 00'd what was left of the 100Media. Same file size, works like a charm. It got rid of the 100Media folder too. My hex structure was weird tho; D C I M (in hex; there was a 00 inbetween each letter). I just followed that format;
\ D C I M \ 1 0 0 M e d i a
overwritten
\ P i c t u r e s M e d i a
then replace each hex value corresponding to the letters in media with 00 (note that the space button in hex is 20, not 00)
