I had this idea for an app..that would work much like the BT trigger app that just toggles on and off blue tooth.
I know you can do this to add a reg entry to hide folders from the album view:
1.Open the registry editor
2.Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored (create the Ignored key if doesn’t exist)
3.Create a new String Value and name it whatever you want (Example, Garmin)
4.Set the Data for the new value to the full path of the folder to be ignored (Example, \Storage Card\Garmin)
and i was thinking...wouldnt it be great.. a nice little app that you could add some folder paths to, and then you just hit the icon to toggle those folders visible or not visible to the album viewer.
I would try and make this myself...but dont think i have the skillz. anyone know how hard this would be to make? or if it exsits already?

Is there a way to ad more sounds to "sliding keyboard open and close" sound
and if there are were to put them?
Well, the default sounds are located in \Windows and called 0_in, 0_out, etc. Dunno how to identify them or if there are any specifics needed for these files, but why not try making a new set of in/out-files in that dir?
There's also a set of registry keys & values under HKLM\Software\HTC\SlidingSound. You can add other subkeys to expand the droplist, so you don't have to modify existing entries.
Just create a new subkey and set string values:
Default -- set this to the name you want to show up in the droplist
in -- set this to the name of the wav file you want to play when closing the slider
out -- set this to the name of the wav file you want to play when opening the slider.
Once you've made these reg entries, copy the wav files to the Windows directory & cycle power to ensure the reg entries get flushed. When you power back on, you should have the new entries in the drop list and all should be well.
This is GREAT! Thanks!

This is a cab i made... all you have to do is place custom-in and custom-out.wav in the /windows folder for your own custom sounds..
works great took some time but it worked.
if your still lost i can try to help you out mind you i have the at&t tilt don't know if its different directory between phones...
Mods Can we please close this redundant thread. Thank you!
Is it possible to make icons for our folders in the apps menu?
I opened the Office Mobile folder and there was a .ink file with the office icon. I moved it to another folder (named Utilities) and this folder now had the office folder icon. Any hint of how this could be used?
well, windows mobile has a special folder design, no?
Good job on the discovery.
You could probably create custom folders for apps.
It is really very simple.
It's not ink its lnk, a shortcut file. If you manage to open it in text editor you will see a simple text string pointing to a dll, exe or ico file.
WM looks for a shortcut named 'icon.lnk' in folders and if it finds it will assign the folder the icon shortcut is pointing to.
You can look to windows\start menu\programs\games for an example of such file.
Also make sure it has the 'hidden' attribute or you will see it when opening the folder from start menu.
So it was lnk with an "L"? When I opened the file with word, it was pointing to a DLL file and it didn't open quite well with Word.
Thanks for the highlight, I'll try making icons
I might post them later.
I'm having more trouble to find free glossy folder icons than anything else...
Alright, I tried once, failed. Trying again and again!
Yes thats Lnk with "L" as in lamp (sorry, habit picked up from phone customer support)
Do not use Word or any other fancy editor as they do not handle plain text files well and may shove some garbage in there when you save the file.
Use notepad or even dos edit command.

Ok I'll try that, thanks!
EDIT: I found a thread on brighthand that says only DLL files can be used as a source. Then if I'm not mistaken you must specify the code line where the icon is situated. The best solution would be to make a really small app with an icon then use this icon.
I'd try it right now but some piece of **** called ActiveSync refuses to work for a random reason.
EDIT 2: Activesync fixed, now working with a ressource editor and some DLLs to get it all working
Simply copy the .lnk to your desktop (PC). use notepad to editi t.
1. open notepad
2. open file xyz.lnk ....simple.
Alright, here's my progress:
-Downloaded a copy of shellres.dll, the location of the existing icons (because you can't take it from the phone)
-Using Ressource Hacker, I changed the icons (in Icons Group) for iPhone icons (other free icons aren't nice)
-Now I copy the edited shellres.dll to the Windows folder (didn't work elsewhere)
-I make a copy of a icon.lnk file in every folder I want to see the icons of and edit the ressource number to match the one in the DLL.
Here's a standard icon.lnk file: 1#SHELLRES.dll,-8216
Translated to: 1#[location of the dll],-[ressource number]
And edited to: 1#iconpack.dll,-8210
Screenshots coming soon.
Now the only problem is that the whole process is not automated. I don't know much about programing so I can't make a program that makes .lnk that points to the right icon.
There you go! What do you guys think?
BTW it only shows up in 256 colors, which is bad considering how nice the icons were...
EDIT: The whole thing is 1.4 freaking MB in size, so I gotta find icons that come in 32x32 instead of full packs including vista icons. Each icon was 80kb in size...
Try GIMP. It's free (open source) and it can edit icons. I didn't check if it can manage the different images that are packed in a single ico file but its worth a try.
I have gimp but I suck at using it. Anyway those icons are perfect for me but don't hesitate to ask for help to install your own.
I've really made an effort to search the net for my answer and have had no luck. Whenever I open a folder and have files in them (text, etc), the default view is icons. I want to change the view to "list" just as in the reg WinXP OS. Total Commander and other like programs do this but when I open the regular Program folder or one of my own through Start Menu, the folder opens with Icons and text. Thanx.

Certain folders have seperate views, just make sure when you see the view you don't want, you change it. Also, be sure to close (X) out properly to save the setting.
i found a way to use the clocks found on the home customizer on S2U2.
1. open HHC and choose the clock you want to use and apply changes
2. backup the settings under the options tab (will be saved to "My Documents" in file explorer)
3. in file explorer open HTC Backup file and open "Clock" file, there you should see the clock you chose.
4. Back out and copy the "Clock" file and paste in "gfx" under S2U2 (found under "Program Files" "S2U2"). *I did this just for ease of use, so i didnt have to go through 5 files everytime i wanted to transfer a number*
5. open the "clock" folder inside gfx and you will see the attributes of the default clock you are using on S2U2 currently.
6. the numbers being used in this folder are 1,2,3... in the HTC Backup folder, it is different. I am currently using Alien Round and they were labled as HHC...1,HHC...2 and so on
7. all you have to do is rename these HHC numbers to 1,2,3..., copy them, and paste them to the corresponding number in the Clock folder in gfx.
8. You will be asked if you would like to over-write the files, just say yes.
9. You can even change the "am" and "pm" from the files and the colon style.
10. Soft Reset and you should see the changes.
Hope this helps anyone, i thought it was pretty cool, i just figured it out today...I hope its not old news LOL
Hi there,
Quick question, probably a stupid one (I've tried searching for the answer here, but couldn't fin one, probably because it's to simple to mention)
But hey, I'm gonna ask it anyway!
With Titanium on Windows mobile 6.5, how do you change the location of the pictures in the Pictures tab of titanium.
It automaticallly looks in device\my documents\my pictures
but I have everything in Internal storage\my documents\my pictures
I've tried setting the album as favorite, I've tried advanced configuration tool
Nothing seems to work, any suggestions?
Moved as not software release or development.
Please take your time to read the rules..
create a folder in your storage card root and name it PICTURES... all images you put in this folder will automatically show in the Titanium photo panel.

remember the folder name is case sensitive ..."PICTURES" in the root of your storage card...
Thanx!
Got it working now, only problem is, now I can´t get my camera to store the pictures there, even with advanced config tool.
Any ideas?
edit your registry...
go to...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\General
EnableDCIM
change the DWORD value to 1
soft-reset.
now all your cam shots will go to \Storage card\DCIM
and it will show up in the Titanium photo panel... hopefully.
i'm still checking the registry on how to make the cam shots lead to PICTURES folder... i'll keep you posted mate.
Thanx!
It's working!
Old thread I know, but this is a two part problem that took me ages to solve and now it's working on my diamond.
These are registry edits to do two things - change the camera default save directory to \Internal Storage\PICTURES (this makes them show on the main Titanium page), and then make the HTC Album the default viewer.
1. reg edit hklm/software/htc/camera/image
change savefolder 0409 key name to the country code your phone is set to in regional settings (0409 is US English, search google for '0409 language code' to find yours)
change the key value to '..\..\Internal Storage\PICTURES' [without quote marks, note the two ..\'s, this is because the diamond calls it 'internal storage' instead of 'storage card']
2. reg edit HKLM\Software\Mircosoft\Shell\Rai\:MSPIMG
change the value for '1' to 'HTCAlbum.exe'
The last frontier is to change the default directory for the 'all photos' titanium softkey, but it seems to be hard coded. But with this method you just need to choose 'all' from the 'album' menu and it will show all the pics - if you press on the main titanium bar it opens the PICTURES directory now anyway, so you can just put all your pics in there.
