Are you on Windows? You have to reconnect your Desire and enable Mass Storage to see it.

if u modify the autorun.inf on the icon part to say icon=whateverfolder\HTC Desire.ico
e.x ICON=resource\HTC Desire.ico
Then you can have the icon in whateverfolder you want, and it will still be read when mounting the device (if your like me and dont like more than neccessary in the root directory of the SD card.

mmm.... seems that when i copy the autorun.inf and ico file to my sd on the desire.... it deletes the inf file!!!

Thanks for that tiny but nice icon mate

Same here.. if i disable and enable mass storage the .inf file is gone

maybe anti virus software delete it

Don't have such a thing

Its the same for me, even if I make the file read only....

Yeah, it has nothing to do with antivirus s/w ...... my antivirus s/w didnt quarantine anything, or flag the autorun.inf file.... i even disabled the av... and tried again... same issue...!Oh well...

Simple but very good idea! Working well on my desire! Just used the alternative icon with the display on and looke awesome! Thanks!

Thanks ! looks great now and with a personalized name

Tried this a while back, autorun.inf just gets deleted from the SD card when I enable Disk Drive mode.

Absolutely great taste, A+

Same here, since I upgraded to Froyo using the HTC update with sense it kicks off the *.inf from the SD-Card, saaaaaad.
PS: I have no antivirus or else active by the time I tested it.

[Q] What's installed & how do I update it?

Hello
My girlfriend borrowed her dads HD2, and now it stopped working. She talked to him and most likely it requires an update of Android.
I'm usually pretty tech-savvy, but the language spoken on this forum is beyond my comprehension.
So, I have a HD2 with both win & Android installed. To boot into Android i need to go into windows and press two files on the SD-card: "CLRCAD" & "HARET".
The files look like this in Windows (pc):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Her dad mentioned Boxmax 6.5, so I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100560
The files I downloaded from there looks pretty similar, aside from a few additions on the phone.
Downloaded the SD-one, but now i'm lost.
How do I update the phone? Just overwrite the files with the new ones or clean install? If it's a clean install, how do i do it? Do i need to backup something?

Backup all files on the SD card to a safe place (pc).
Delete folder Android on the card.
Copy the Android folder from the archive you downloaded.
Pop the SD card back into HD2, and start Android from winMo (clrcad, haret) or better yet install the exceller autoboot.

Thanks alot, sounds easy enough
When i pop the things back on the SD-card from the backup-folder, I still need to install all the apps and widgets again right?
Edit: Oh, and what about all her messages? Are they stored on the phone?

Yeah, you usually use titanium backup, heh.

Thanks so far for all the help, I got it working fine except, and this might be a really n00bish question, how do I turn off the phone?
Nevermind, found Quickboot

Loosing storage capacity..anyone have an explanation?

Can anyone figure where the missing 2GB or so is gone? Tried pushing files from PC but it failed and the files don't show up but the missing 2GB is about the size of the pushed files that are nowhere to be found...
P.S. tried to push the same files to my Nexus 7 2013 and have the same problem there...anyone know how I could find and delete these files without resetting my device (I've already tried the search function on ES File Explorer and the same storage discrepancy can also be observed from the storage tab in android settings).

Easiest way is just to flash the factory images and reset the partition

12.92gb total, thats what its supposed to be. you dont get a full 15gb to use, some goes to the system. if thats what youre talking about.
or, you are talking about the 2.43gb in the android folder?

that's not the point, the point is there isn't 4.97GB of data there. It should be 3GB at most...and pretty sure it used to be before I tried to unsuccessful push file to the devices.
BTW I was using wugfresh's toolkit when I tried to push the files if that is of importance

did you ever make a nandroid backup in your recovery?
and yea, dont use toolkits. you think they make things easier, but they dont. plus they can cause their own issues too.

[Q] Anyone using torrent on Android?

Im using note3,0 KitKat 4.4.2, and having problem with my microSD card when i downloading via torrent app.
Downloading filed directly into my phone storage works fine, however, i am getting error whenever i set the downloading directory into my extSD card.
Used ttorrent,Utorrent Bittorrent apps and none of those worked for me. Both Bit/u Torrent showed me "Error : write to disk(check)", and Ttorrent showed me 'this folder is read-only, it cannot be selected'. (as thumbnails shows.)
Its weird because i can move/copy files from Device storage into Sd memory card via "my files(the basic app.)", and pictures that i took saves into the extSD card...which means i can write on there while torrent doesnt allow me download into the SD card.
is there any solutions on this? Oh, and im not rooted yet.

KitKat brought a new security "feature", which does not allow any non-system apps to write to external SD card. The only way to remove it is by rooting. A workaround is to download to your phone storage and then, on PC, move it over to the external SD.

I am on KitKat and rooted I used the patch and it works all fine to save in memory card

I use aTorrent.
I think your external card went bad.
Mine did a few months ago.
I had a 64gb that one stopped working.
Nothing was getting saved to it (nothing could get written to it).
It
Luckily it allowed me to copy from it to my desktop.
I'm on 4.3

Welcome to KitKat. You'll find about a few thousand threads on this issue on XDA.
Google added new security settings to KitKat which makes it impossible for apps to write to the external SD without a workaround from the devs, or Root.
Stock has been changed to work (You still can't rename anything, though). Any 3rd party app needs to be changed by the developer.

File Manager
Ive noticed once ive downloaded the file through Ttorrent you can go to the file manager select the the file and just move it to whatever folder you want on the SDcard. I just use the standard file manager.

[Q] Why would Dropsync/Autosync/Onesync not be able to write to emulated/0?

I'm having a strange problem with Dropsync/Autosync/Onesync on my GS4 running the "Mostly Stock NG2 v1.3" ROM -- I patched it to allow writing to the external SD card, but for some reason, even though the sync apps show the external SD card as writable, they don't show the emulated/0 folder as being writable, and the apps don't create their application directories as they normally should -- as a result, even though they can write to the SD card, they can't sync because they can't write to the device to keep track of what has been synced. I contacted the developer but he wasn't able to help me, besides identifying the problem is on the device storage side of things rather than a SD card issue.

I suggest you try a different ROM. There are a lot of important things missing in that ROM. Dialer chooses don't work for one. Almost any other NG2 ROM has the SD Card fix.

Any recommendations? I used to run TriForceROM 5.4 -- I'd like to find something similar, with crapware removed, wifi hotspot added, etc. but not a complete overhaul that introduces new problems.

So far there are no problems other than the minor bugs listed in the OP.
