I looked at the whole forum to find a solution to my little issue. But no luck.
Most of the time, solutions described are for PocketPC (Touch, Polaris, Kaiser ...), not for smartphone like the Startrek.
I tried to modify the registry to set \Storage Card\Pictures instead of \Storage\My documents\My pictures. All the tweaks I found on the web and in this forum didn't work.
I want to save all the pictures in \Storage Card\Pictures (or \Storage Card\DCIM. It seems it also works!). Pictures syncronized with my computer and pictures taken with my cell phone have to be saved in this folder in order to be viewed by Cphotos plugin on the Home screen.
The Cphotos path can't be changed without patching a dll.
Does someone know how to make this to work?
At least in the camera settings you can change the path for taken pics to the SD card.
That would be "\Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures" though.
I know, but it's exactly the path I want to change!

Hi everybody
first of all i want to say TNX to all the wonderful people here, who make my HD2 experience so much better
i have a good question which i bet other HD2 owners are struggling with:
i keep my mp3 files stored on my SD card.
Q: i can't seem to find a way to set a certain picture to a certain song in the music player (instead of the default picture of the note icon).
what i'v tried up until now:
- i went to My Device\MUSIC and saw the way the original (crappy) song is set with its own picture, and tried to set my mp3 file the same way with it's own picture, but - no luck, still the annoying note icon..
so.. i give up for now, hopefully someone knows the answer to my question here
thanks allot guys
I think I've got the solution:
Settings -> Manage Applications -> Media Storage and choose clear data, this will wipe the media library database from the phone.
you then have to power down and reboot. Now when you open the music app it will rebuild its database.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

SORTED! tnx to Wilco!
Wilco you are the man
i didn't find a way to delete the media library database from the phone, the solution presented in the thread is meant to work with another HTC device which has different settings, BUT - the issue was the same -
in order to show a photo instead of the default note icon in the music player htc devices require an image called "folder.jpg" located in every folder which contains mp3's, this is the picture which will be shown as the album picture. so in order to show a different picture for every album the albums must be in different folders.
there is a certain BUG which occures when there is no folder.jpg file in the folder containing the mp3 file and you try to add it later, the device has a DB that records every folder you create and it doesn't remember a folder.jpg file in that particular folder so it will not show a picture even if you add one, i still havn't figured out way to clean that DB, anyway, by simply putting a folder.jpg with your choice of image and changing the folder's name to another one, the device will recognize this as a brand new folder and tada! album picture is presented
hope we helped you guys!
thanks!!
Hi, just a simple question for you folks:
How do you import photos cleanly from the i9100?
Kies is a mess: no thumbnail / every single folder is scanned, regardless of .media files / files already imported are not identified as such / no grouping by date etc.
Windows 7 file explorer and picasa are barely better...
Help please.
with any other android phone, you just drag and drop using a file explorer. create a new folder called pics, or put them in the DCIM folder if you want, and let it scan away and youre done.
if the SGS2 is having some specific issue that causes this to not work like it normally does, then i have no idea.
same applies to your music collection too.
I delved deeper into the problem. Switching to debug mode / removing kies usb connexion mode allows windows 7 to display thumbnails, making it easier to import files with live galery.
Nightmare is back with ICS...How the *** do you remove the mtp crap? There's no pure storage connection mode now, is there?
To answer the above remarks, I don't want to drag/drop from a folder. I want to import with some sort of software, so that photos are auto-rotated / erased / tagged.
Cyanogenmod 9 is just perfect for photo import: it only scans the dcim folders and displays thumbnails when importing...unfortunately, I quite like stock ics and I'll only move back to CM9 with jelly bean or when Samsung forsakens us
Help?
Here it is, your posts are really confusing and everything but to the point
Thank you. Above post worked. Sorta. Thumbnails are back.
See screenshot for the mess I'm talking about (only 2 pics to import).
So I just got my flyer. I'm loving it however saving edited files seems to be an issue right now for me. Yesterday I tried to save a pdf with annotations on it and it wouldn't let me. After trying several different things I got it to save as. But then when I went and looked at the files on my SD card I had several partial saves, that all I had to do was change the file extension to .pdf and they were viewable with my annotations.
But now I can't save AT ALL using Polaris office on a word document. I've tried save and save as, as well as trying to save a scribe annotation and just a standard text addition. When I try to save and save as, I do not get any type of error or confirmation, just a quick spinning circle that disappears after a second. But nothing is saved.
Anyone run into this?
Called HTC tech support. The guy on the phone wasn't helpful at all, but I figured it out while I was on the phone with him. File extensions must be in lowercase!
I can save edited docs in Polaris.
In PDF Viewer, after inking and saving as flatten, an error message appears. However, the file is actually saved as a .tmp file. If you open an explorer, change .tmp to .pdf. You can open the saved file.
Hope that helps.
Suppose that into images folder I have several subfolders, say 25. I would like a way to display in Gallery say 2 folders, with the pictures that I desire into each one, without having to physically moving the pictures (because for example each subfolder corresponds to a month, like nokia does: 201201, 201202, etc.)
Any way or market software to do it?
Hoi,
there are severals Gallerys on the market, which can what you want.
The Standard-Gallery app only can display the pics in the way you told.

Well, if there's any, I couldn't find it. The ones I tried are closely similar to the stock gallery viewer.
Any more ideas?
Hello Community!
As everybody might know, the stock camera app saves taken pictures in the DCIM folder (phone memory or sd card - depending on the settings).
Unfortunately, photo files are becoming more and more in this folder, as Android does not create subfolders for every 100 photos or so.
I remember that nokia phones (with symbian) did create subfolders after 100 photos. That was waaayyy better, especially when you are entering the DCIM folder via PC. In Android, if you have many photos in the DCIM folder, it takes such a long time until all photos are displayed in the explorer and are accessible.
My question is: Does there exists a trick / tool / setting that allows Android to create subfolders in the DCIM folder automaticly?
Any help would be much appreciated, an approach without root would be prefered, but if neccesary I'm also interested in aproaches with root.
Hope someone might have some suggestions.
Greeting from Germany!
