Using NRG's ROM I've tried to change the default save location for images\camera pics via Schap's Advanced Config program to a folder on my SD Card (soft reset and all).
This never works, instead defaulting to DCIM. Using the pre-defined \My Documents\Pictures work as well, but I'd like to define my own folder on the SD Card.
Anyone have any success in doing this for image, video and audio files?
Thanks.

some ideas here and here, not sure if it'll work on you ROM though
I can't seem to locate the directory folder that the new firefox app downloads to. anyone?
Nevermind, it goes right to the sdcard, no folder. I didn't see the files because the downloads failed...
can't seem to get the download folder to change.
I went into:
about:config
created a new string: browser.download.dir
set the value to: /mnt/extSdCard/Downloads/
Restarted Firefox
But still the downloads go into the sdcard/downloads
I've also tried:
/extSdCard/Downloads/
/sdcard/
/extSdCard/
/mnt/sdcard
none of these have any effect.
Any ideas?

Im also looking for changing my dl directory. It have work once for me when modifying the "browser.download.folderList" after creating the browser.download.dir string. But after reboot of firefox the next dl will go back again to the sdcard.
Wonder if anyone else could tell how to do it
creating a new string is a good step for changing your dl directory. But you should also add this step to make it work.
Modify the value of "browser.download.folderList" from 1 to 2
Thats it!!

When editing your old posts, try not to delete the original information that could have been useful to others.
People won't have known what value to put into the string.

I hate managing folders so now I use directory bind which allows me to bind two folders together. Basically you create another downloads folder on your external sd card and use directory bind to "bind" them. Checkbox to transfer contents and your downloads (source) folder will be dumped into the empty folder you've created automatically (destination must be empty when checking the box). When altering files in either downloads folder, the changes appear in both. When you look at storage, the original source folder is not calculated into your used internal storage amount even though every other app sees files in there (since that would defeat the purpose). I use it for my downloads, camera and several apps and game folders not designed to be pushed to SD. Instead of continuously resetting app download destinations, I sit back and relax knowing every app downloads to the proper place (minus the rogues who think they deserve their own folder lol). When flashing a new ROM, simply unbind everything first and disable autostart, backup with titanium backup, after restore, you should be good (depending on your new version of android in which case you may need to adjust some settings). If setting up from scratch again, assuming your working folder structure is still in tact, you can bind again without ticking the box (since the files are in their proper place and a transfer is no longer necessary).
You can get it here, it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while, but I've tested it from Android 4.0 through 4.2.2 and it's perfect (settings adjustments will likely be required): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
Hi everyone, was a solution found to that still issue? I tried to move the default download folder to the ext SD card with settings into about:config, I changed as well the "browser.download.folderList" value to 2 and add a "browser.download.defaultFolder" string, but everything failed, please does someone know what to do? Or is there another setting menu or mod/Exposed module to achieve this..?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Use this config (I am assuming you're on 4.4 and have used SDFixer)

Hi, thanks for your help, but it still don't work for me. What I don't understand is that the path can be whether
/storage/sdcard1/Download
or
/ext_card/Download
Maybe you know why? I'm running CM11 nightlies (4.4.4) on Xperia Z2

With a r/w sd? Use a root explorer to find the path to the r/w sd
I'm very busy and sorry not to say anything for long but thank you much for your answer and help.
My path is correctly pointing the SD, I checked carefully the settings and got no success. Then suddenly Firefox began to write on ext sd, but still this is only sometimes! I tried to see if the files type or size had something to do with that behavior but it seems to be just erratic..
It actually seems that it's the "Flash Video Downloader" module who sends files into the internal storage regardless of the browser settings..
I'm a newbie and need help. I have a rooted atrix running Gingerblur 3.5. I have used an app to create a custom ogg file to use as a notification. I then copied the file to system/media/audio/notifications. After rebooting the phone the file shows up in the list of notification choices and lets me select it. However the file is not being used by the system. The file directly beneath it is used even though the custom one is selected. What have I done wrong or failed to do?
Thanks.
handcentSMS has a ringtone picker that works great with other apps.
Edit:
After looking in root explorer.. Put your ogg in
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Not
/system/...

Thanks, but that was not the problem. Like I stated I am new at this, but I did figure out the problem. The permissions on the file were set to not allow the owner to do anything. After changing the owner permissions it is working now. I had to do this in the /system/media/audio/notifications because the sd card location did not allow permission changes.
Thanks again for your interest & reply though.

Sounds like your Screenshots directory is missing, try adding it manually... it is located in /storage/sdcard0/Pictures/Screenshots, if the Screenshots directory is not here you get this error.

If you're rooted you can use xposed module to change default paths.
There's info on a collection that I've compiled here.
Thanks,
Is there any option to do in non rooted mobile
