Hi,
I m using the slide panle with media theme. Now i wish to change the default folder for the Pictures in this.
Currently it picks the images of the folder "Main Memory/My Picutres"
I want to use the Pics folder of my Storage Card. How can i do so.
I tried to fiddle with a registry entry for "default path" but in vain.
Can someone help me??
Thanks
Lokesh
maybe by changing the systems default path?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Pictures]
"LocalPath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures"
did you try to change this key and reset? don't panic if it does not work. just change it back and reset again
I hope you mean Reboot by saying Reset.
I have done that...lets see if it works...
Thanks anyways dear
It doesnot work..

Things I'd like to find :
* How to make the My Pictures panel in the new homescreen to look for pictures in other folders. Any idea ? Apparently we need to hex edit cmhome.dll for that
You can reed it on Dr Martin's thread
If you put your pictures in this location, the sliding panel will read there.
I did it and it works.
@xounet, what location are you taking about. I m currently having my pics at \Staorage Card\Pics.
Do i need to change the folder location or what???
anybody has any ideas how to change it? would bengreat to have access to real album. not gonna store pics in main memory. suggestions needed.
i got partial solution. if you put pics in DCIM directory on mem card they gonna be on home screen!
the only registry entry i found with DCIM value in is
hklm-system-pictures-camera-oem-picturelocation-external
but after changing it nothing happens. anybody knows how to change default camera folder? so all the taken pics are in DCIM folder?
I'm with tepss. I want my camera to simply save to Storage Card/pictures and I'll be in heaven.
This is something even i will be interested in...As you might be aware we can as pf now store pics in \Storage Card\my Pictures folders only and they are pulled in to Home Screen...
Can some Senior member help a way out
? pics are stored i MY PICTURES on mem card and plugin reads everything in folder DCIM so we're looking for changing location in settings in camera to have them saved in DCIM or changing folder read by MyPictures slide. anybody?

Hey all,
I thing UC is great, but I have gotten to prefer the Tiered Autoinstaller that allows me to pick and choose my CABs to install.
I have taken Tiermann's cool app and packaged it for a non-cooked in audience. Add it to your favorite ROMs to quickly pick and choose all your CABs to install.
Find out more about it and grab it here

OK so THIS is a big step forward for the crazy flasher that lies in us.
Time saving, simple, perfect.
Very convenient to use (especially because I already have my CAB collection on my storage card in a folder named CAB...)
Thanks
Choice between Device and SD Card
Hello Bengalih,
is it possible that when i use the TierAutomatic Installer that i have the choise between the Telefon Memory or the Storage Card where the Programm has to be installed ?
I like to install the most of my Programms to the storage card to keep the Memory of the Phone free for the running Programms.
Or doesn´t this make sense ?
Greetings from germany
Jürgen
oooh great!
Awesome THANK YOU!
but 1 question/request
I have my cab directory sorted by different directories, is there a way to checkbox an entire directory? instead of adding each cab in config.sys?
i have directories like
\Storage Card\Games
\Storage Card\Tweaking
\Storage Card\System Tools
\Storage Card\Multimedia
etc. so it would be awesome to just check the entire directory to save overview
Awesome work dude - been looking for an installer like this that runs perfectly on non-UC compliant ROMs! This works flawlessly - thanks!!!!
Is it also possible to install the cabs on the storage card? i dont want my games on my device but on my storage card...

change the default installation directory to your storage card using WinCE cab manager.

The Tiered Auto Installer works by using a built-in copy of Autorun. Since Autorun doesn't allow any user interaction, it is not possible to "choose" what location you want to install.
However, you can use a CAB editor tool to open up your .CAB, and change the default installation directory to "\Storage Card".
WinCE CAB Manager can do it with the trial version.
Thx for the answer
Thx for the answer. I will try the WinCE cab manager

Yes you can do this...with a little elbow grease:
From the TAutoInstall page...
It will find all cab files referenced in the config.txt as well as those found in \Windows, \Storage Card\Boot, \Storage Card, \Extended_ROM, and \Extended_ROM2.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note that the config.txt should be located in the same directory as TAutoInstall, which in my package is \Windows. I have found that if TAutoInstall is installed in another location with a space in the name (e.g. \Storage Card or \Program Files) that it won't function properly).
In addition the following quote:
Note: The default search directories can be overridden by a command line.
TAutoinstall.exe "\SomePath\folder1" "\SomeOtherPath\Folder2"
You can have up to 10 search paths.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In fact, this is the magic of how my packager is working. I have created a shortcut to run TAutoInstall with specific search directories, in this case \Storage Card\Cabs.
NOTE: When you specify directories on the command line it no longer checks the default directories listed above, but it will still check the config.txt file.
Unfortunately it doesn't check recursively, but you can have up to 10 paths. So, to do what you ask you will need to edit my .lnk file:
You need to open the .lnk file in a text editor.
You can copy the \Program Files\TAInstall\TAInstall.lnk to your PC via activesync.
Open it in WORDPAD, not NOTEPAD as it doesn't save them properly.
You will see my syntax:
47#"\Windows\TAutoinstall.exe" "Storage Card\Cabs"
Note the format, specifically the quotes and the number at the beginning. The number is the number of characters in the string minus anything before and including the #. So in the above link there are 50 characters minus 3 (47#). You can modify the shortcut for up to 10 paths, like so:
122#"\Windows\TAutoinstall.exe" "Storage Card\Cabs" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub1" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub2" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub3"
Note that I updated the number to reflect the number of characters in the string minus 4 (122#).
I have not tested it with more than one path, but it should work. I also don't know if there are any limitations as to the maximum length of a shortcut, perhaps a developer would know.
Once you've edited it, copy TAInstall.lnk back to \Program Files\TAInstall\ and you should be good to go. If you have a problem, make sure that the shortcut is being save properly by your text editor. Remove everything you added and re-save and see if the .lnk file still works. If not, then you're text editor probably mangled it.
I would then make a backup copy of the lnk so you won't need to do it all over again.
simple 3-row Mortscript
another "solution" without UC could be a simple mortscript in the cab-directory:
It's not "unattended", but it will do the the job...and you can select the install directory....
ForEach CAB in files (Systempath("ScriptPath")&"\*.cab")
RunWait (%CAB%)
EndForEach

Peter, could you be a bit more step by step with that, maybe putting it into a code box?
I get it, I can read it, I don't know what a "mort-script" in the "cab-directory" would look like (text file?) and where exactly it would go.
Thanks for this thread, guys!

just create a text file on your desktop computer and save it with the .mscr file-extension.
then copy this file including the mortscript.exe to your "cab" directory on your mobile machine. that's it
the "cab directory" is just the directory where you save these two files and all your cabs....
but as i said - this script will just call all setups, all necessary informations are manually - it's just like you click each
cab file seperately in file explorer...
attached you'll find my installer (sorry, the language is in german (NO, i'm NOT german, i'm from South-Liechtenstein )
and it'll write a registry key how many times you've started this script....the first time there is no message, if you run this
script more than once, there is a counter and it will remind you how many times you've started this script... (yeah, i like such things....)
i like the fact that i absolutely know what this script is doing, i can easily choose between storage and memory and if i want to
cancel a setup it's no problem
edit: english script (including mortscript exe is uploaded...hope that helps)

Thanks Peter!! That should really help.
UC is good, but there are so many differences between ROMs that you're always editing the text file and thus prone to making it error out. Not to mention, the Lock/Unlock BS.
I've been using Tier Autoinstall in my ROMs for awhile. Even have a cab for non-cooked installation that puts a shortcut in the same place you do?!? funny how great minds think alike . I'll update this post to put in the link to the wiki about it (once the wiki is back up).

Hey welcome back _Alex_, I thought you were movin' on.
Yes, I actually discovered the Tiered AutoInstall first in your ROM I believe. I know you have a stand-alone UC (which I link on the front page), but never saw a stand-alone Tiered from you.
Although I like the check-box effect to install cabs, the current version of Tiered AutoInstaller (and thus my stand-alone version) is a little too limited for all but automated installs.
If you guys like, please check out my new VIP+bengalih RAW AutoInstaller. Fully MortScript based with quite a few more features!
I was wondering what is the filename that stores the password for Pocket Internet Explorer. If anyone knows, please let me know.
I found in another thread that it is within one of the registry but when I checked my version, no 'password' key was found.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
They're saved in the cookies folder. You can move it to your sd card if you want. Just search cookie in the registry. The default path is in \windows\profiles.

The only way I know is to move them into a different folder. If you REALLY don't want them to show up, you could zip them up and delete the originals. They's about as good as I can suggest I'm afraid. Either that, or stop taking pictures of your girlfriend/gentials lol.
Too much porn on your phone, am I right guys?
Did u try to hide them with total commander or other file manager?

Changing the file attributes doesn't help. The album apps still show them. This is one of the things that bugged me when I made my "Hide Folders" app. It became a little pointless when certain applications didn't care about the "hidden" attribute.
Hi there
I use a Software named "Secubox". With this, i can create a virtual storage card which I can mount and unmount if i need it.
Its also encryptet, so the data stored there is secure and you have no access, if you don't have the password...
Works nice on my HD2, the only solution for this kind of data ;-)
else: put your pictures in a subfolder in Program Files... Album will show them only if you browse there....
Tip with the Program folder does it for me ! thank you!
Hi,photos in touchflo3D come by default from DCIM folder on your storage card . You can create a new folder called from example DCIM2 an put here photos that you don't want to see in the Touchflo3D .

That works for the very front of the GUI, but if you click on albums, you get to see the folders with images in them. I believe the above suggestion of putting your images in a program files sub-folder stops that happening.
Also, if you were to use the pictures & videos app, you can browse the folders all over the phone, so it's still not 100%. I think the suggestion of a secure, encrypted area is the most secure of the lot.
Either that or take my previous advice, and stop taking c**k shots lol.
Hi, I wrote the following script for my TP2 which did the trick. You need to have Mortscript installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548841
Hide Photos
Not sure if this helps but what I do is :
I have on the SD card, a folder with all my data in called imaginatively Data.
In there I have Videos, Photos, Documents, and Hidden.
And pictures I don't want to be seen in Album, I put in the hidden folder.
Then in Total Commander :
Select the folder
Click File
Then >>>>>
Then Properties
This allows you to adjust the attributes.
Click Hidden, and click Recurse subdirs. (If you don't do the recurse, it will hide the folder but NOT the images within).
Then click OK.
Reverse the process when you want to get them back.
It's like 5 clicks to hide, and 5 to get them back.
No need to rename or anything, I found it works for me.
Hi,
create a new folder for private pictures and add to Album ignored list.
Example
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored]
"Maps from TomTom"="\\Storage Card\\Western*"
"TomTom"="\\Storage Card\\Navigator"
"Musik"="\\Storage Card\\Musik"
"MSMetaData"="\\Storage Card\\MSMetaData"
"Camera"="\\My Documents\\Templates"
"MMS"="\\My Documents\\UAContents"
[COLOR="Red"]"Private"="\\Storage Card\\Private Pictures"[/COLOR]
with friendly greet
starbase64
yep
the upper post doesn't work, but no doubt the easiest way to do it is posted up by jaknife with recurse subfolders hide method
Another solution.. in the thread [REF]*Leo Hints & Tips*, at the tip no 64:
"64. Disable Unwanted Folders From Showing in HTC Album
Don't you find it annoying that HTC Album Shows lots of images you don't need to see when you select Albums like GPS poi icons? Now you can tell HTC Album to ignore certain folders.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignored and add a NEW STRING VALUE
Eg if there is iGO8 in the root of the Storage Card you would create a NEW STRING VALUE with Value name iGO8 and Value Data \Storage Card\iGO8
This will include all subfolders inside the iGO8 folder. Save and reset."
works only in HTC Album, not manila interface
Hi,
Thanks to starbase64 and traianboala , I have tried the ignore string key, and works fine in albums program of HTC, but the images still appear on manila Photos & Videos (that is on the manila interface) any solution or another ignore string / list for the manila interface?
Sounds like you got alot of self made home private spicy photo's/videos..
stop taking pictures of your girlfriend/gentials lol.

I Wanted to know if there was any way to change the way the sense photo viewer scanned for files. For example could I get it to only show photos in a specific folder on my SD card. Reason being I have created a separate folder called contacts and I do not want it to display the photos in there.
Thanks
Same question, looking for reply.
yes you can, as far as I know .. go to the folder that you want to show through the Albums then choice the folder Menu>>Set Album as Favorite.
Hope this help
