Hello Forum,
I have an Evo 3D with viperROM_RC1.3 as my ROM. I am using the RC Mix kernel and it's been working out very well so far. I only have one question. I have tried a search and cannot seem to find the answer to this. My photos seem to be saving to the thumbnails folder located in the DCIM folder. Is there a reason why this is happening? I noticed this when I went into my gallery and saw tons of thumbnailish pictures mixed in with my photos. Quite a pain, especially since the thumbnailish pictures are being uploaded with my regular photos to my google plus account. Any idea as to why there being put into that folder? Thanks for reading.

So I just installed google+ on the phone and tried sharing a specific picture from my phone....
The picture posted ended up being a freaking screen shot of an ESPN bookmark!! WTF?
Has anybody had this problem or is it just a freak accident? I am a lil scared of using it now as there are some crazy ass photos on my phone and I definitely do not want to even accidentally post them.
Maybe I can just put them in a .file but isn't that where they found the ESPN bookmark?
Unrooted... stock...

Delete your /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails folder so that it rebuilds. You should be able to verify this is the problem by opening gallery and noticing that the thumbnail of the image you *wanted* to post opens the image of what was actually sent. After you delete that folder and open gallery things should be corrected. It just sounds like the thumbnails may have gotten mixed up.
If that wasn't the problem, we'll go from there.

Ah... this may have solved the problem. Should have thought about that first. It's been awhile since i cleared the thumbnails.
K.... Another issue.
I turned on instant upload to upload all my pics to Picasa.
It ONLY found my fxcamera folder.... I have like 5 folders with pics in them. Anybody know how Google+ instant upload scans the SD card for pics?
EDIT: Solved...
Google+ instant upload looks like it scans in order of folders and uploads the first folder it finds with pics in it... (First time the first folder it found with pics was FXcamera Folder) for most people it would be DCIM. For now I moved all my pics into that folder (DCIM) but I will take them all out once it's done uploading (4G kills it!)
Then from there on it will instant upload anything that goes into DCIM...
just a FYI
I recently got my EVO 4G LTE, and have been playing with it quite extensively, as well as searching around here to find answers to what I haven't been able to figure out.
There are a few things with the camera and how it handles images that have me wondering:
1) I have shot quite a few photos in 'burst' mode. Now, on my SD card, I have a '100BURST' and a '100MEDIA' folder, with a folder in the burst directory for every set I have ever taken, even if I have deleted all the images in the collection. Is it safe to delete these folders, and what is the point on them?
2) I want to import all my old photos and videos (from my OG EVO) onto the phone, but placing them in the 100MEDIA folder will override many of the new images I have taken as they are using the same name. Is there somewhere to set the naming convention used? I see that several of my old images are using 'IMG_20120519_010400.jpg' method (from when I had MIUI ICS installed). Is there a way to switch to this naming, as it is basically 'IMG_' then the year, month, date, '_', and time? This would help keep the images in chronological order.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give me...
You can move your photos over with no problem. I just transferred my old SD Card from my Evo 3D to my EVOLTE. Obviously I got rid of all the files that no longer pertain to the EVOLTE.
Additionaly, if you erase the burst folder, it will automatically create another one as soon as you take burst photos.

Well as far as your first question, if there are no images in the folders they should be ok to delete. The camera app will probably just recreate them if it has too.
Second question. You are better off placing the images on your computer and using an application to rename your images to whatever you want. You could easily do this with adobe Lightroom. You can download the free trial which should be more than enough time (30 days) to what you need especially if you ha e lots of images to rename. I'm sure there are other alternatives like maybe Google's picasa. But I use Lightroom and it will do exactly what you want.

Hey everyone.
Whenever I plug up this phone, there's DCIM and 100Media and all, but there's no folder that stores *ALL* of the photos on the phone like the 'All Photos' album in the gallery app.
Is there a place to easily view and transfer to the computer ALL of the photos on the phone?
Thanks in advance!
There is DCIM folder which contain all of your photos.
You can copy that folder.
And others are on SD card separately

From what I know, the gallery app just makes an album called all photos. But the ones you actually take are on DCIM and 100MEDIA. If you took photos on another camera app it would be in it's respective folder. Happy snapping!

Hey, thanks for the reply.
But I already knew that. I was wondering if there's a place to easily transfer all of the photos on the phone, not just 100Media and individually transferring from other folders.
So is there such a place?

You should press thanks because it's free.
And no, unfortunately I don't. If there was, HTC would have made life easier.
Nupzz .
There is no folder available called all photos.
It is only a software which collect all photos and show us in 1 place ....that I mentioned you above.
Hit thanks if I helped you !!!
Hello all I rooted again recently after getting the 3 XX update from verizon.
and now that im rooted I cant get gallery to see any images in any folder except what is now taken with camera app.
any ideas.
restarted phone, cleared cache, restarted app, shut down phone and turned back on, tried different camera apps, different gallery apps....... all with same result that it will not see any of my pictures or videos I took before rooting or see any images in any other folder.
so im lost as to what to do to fix it.
Rom is OTA plus rooted is all.... nothing else was changed.
Im still a newbie but I know enough and i cant figure it out.
cheers all.
If I remember correctly, the files are stored in a different place in 4.2,2 then in 4.1.2. Do some searching to find the folder, and move your pictures there

ive tried moving folders and files..... but the issue is that the pics i have are in the same folder as the 1 pic i took once rooted..... so they are in the same folder. its like the gallery wont see anything else but what is taken from the camera now.
just stuck as to why its doing that..... had pics be seen in other folders before. i even have another folder on the root of the phone, well emulated sd card.... called Pics and it does not see those either.
noticed though that the camera does see the pics i took before but when i open the gallery to view those pics they are not there.
even booted into hboot and bootloader then restarted and still nothing.
oh and also i was already on 4.22 stock from verizon..... had some pics and a vid i took.... then rooted and now can't see pics and vid i took before I rooted.
found an answer i think
Ok think i figure out the issue.
the pictures i had on my device were not in a folder that the gallery app recognizes by default, so it was a naming issue and location issue. I moved the old pics taken with my camera before rooting to the folder labeled "Camera" and now the gallery an see all my images.
Before pics were in the folder named Camera....and now they are in a folder named 100MEDIA... very strange but happy it all ok now.
hope my issue helps someone sort out a problem if they ever have that issue like i did.
cheers all
Hello everyone, ever since upgrading to android 10 im having a weird issue with pictures in my phone.
1. im using an chatting app called viber, for some reason i cant share screenshots within the apps photo share icon, some time before my screenshots didnt even show up there, i could find them manually but trying to send it gives "file not found" , now i can see them without searching for them, but still cant share them.
2. other thing is some pictures just randomly disappear from my google photos app, usually edited screenshots, after some time they are just gone.
3. downloading pictures from chat in one of the games i play "rise of kingdoms" also disappear after some time, those pictures are stored in "Pictures" folder created after the first download, but that folder/album later on is just gone from my photos app, those are also in annoying jpg!large format that i cant even open from file manager app until i remove !large extension.
btw all the things mentioned above , photos are not removed, they are still in my phone i can find them all in my file manager but i cant see them in google photos app, i also cant see them from any other chatting app when i want to share pictures. camera photos, photos downloaded with google chrome , seem to be fine and they never got removed from google photos so far.
have a feeling its something related to mi a3's storage managment cause i tried another gallery app and it doesnt show all my pictures as well, anyone having the same issues?
thanks.

I do have the same kinda issue with photos. For example, I want to share a pic while being in WhatsApp, Viber but it won't show me all the folders of the pics. I have to go to Gallery and share it from there.
