I have a cooked ROM on my phone which works great.
Using the Titanium interface the "pictures" menu always defaults to the internal memory documents and settings and therefor will not see any photos on my storage.
As there is very limited space on the internal memory (enough for about 10pics) i assume there is a reg setting to change it to look at the inbuild 4GB.
Thanks
i've read a post about this on this forum but not sure where so not my doing but you have to put your pictures in the root of your internal storage in a new folder renamed Pictures :: hope this helps works for me
Thanks
That worked great!!!

My XDA 2s is reporting that 18.49mb of storage memory is being used at present and I only have the default per savebackup there after a hard reset how can I clear the Storage area?
Many thanks
I've cleared everything off the Blue Angel out of the Storage folder and even tried restoring the official O2 1.31 ROM and even on the 1st reload with just the persavebackup folder that contains just a few small files the memory applet reports that 18.49 meg of of 43mb storage area is already used? I'm sure all 43mb this area was available before?
Has anyone any idea what this could be, is there likely to be a hidden folder there I can't see? Is there a utility available for viewing hidden files? I even tried the trial version of resco explorer but it does not show anything there. Or is there a way of moving the persavebackup to the SD card so I can gain exclusive access to storage and perform a format?
Thanks for any help this is really starting to puzzle me.
hello,
i posted already in general but got no answers how to do this, and also posted in different threads.
if its impossible to do please tell me,
but i tried lots of things to change the photo save location but with no succes.
i want it to get them out of my documents and save them on internal storage/Pictures( instead of internal storage/my documents/my pictures.)
thanks for answers.
It seems to detect \Internal Storage\Pictures dir, but I want to be able to point it to my camera saves location.
indeed anyone can help us out?

Have you tried to install "Advanced Configuration Tool" software?
Than, under "Location" you could change the default directory to save image files..

The camera saves to internal storage- my documents- my pictures, so how can this work ?
The picture viewer is based on picture and video viewer and not HTC album which most use, you canot default the picture and video viwer to storage card so here is the conflict.
I have the same Problem.
Changing the Location for the Titanium Picture would be the best .
Because Camera only saves to my documents - my pictures
But I did not find anything like that in registry. But I think it must be there somewhere
ok.I found a solution.Just go with a registry editor (like total commander) to HKLM/software/HTC/camera/image and find SaceFolder_0409.then change it to "pictures"
(that worked for me)
EDIT: IF anybody has problems,just tell me to upload that key
I periodically go into modes in which I need to clean clean clean my computers and gadgets and I was wondering if there was an app or something out there to detect which of my installed programs have been installed on the Storage Card and which have been installed on the Device.
I'd basically like to find what I truly need to install on the Device and reinstall everything else on the Storage Card to save Device disk space.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
Don't quote me on this, but I think DinarSoft MemMaid has something like this. I had it at one time on an old phone of mine. I seem to remember not only having this functionality, but being able to change to and from the other storage (from Main-> Card and Vice verse).
It may have been program specific, but It's definatly worth looking into.
if you goto the following link and go down to "Storage Memory" (maybe a little more then 1/2 down the page), it says that it does have the ability to see "What and Where" things are installed.

Hope it helps.
I could be wrong but if you open File Explorer and look in the Programs folder on "My device" you'll see all stuff installed on device memory and if you look on your storage card there is also a Programs folder with all the programs installed there. Perhaps I misunderstood your question and this isn't helpful - in that case, sorry!

Actually this was the original problem. Programs installed on the memory card will not only put files in the Program Files folders on the Storage Card, but can also install some in the Device Program Files folder, the Device Documents and Settings folder and even in the Windows folders.
Someone from PPCGeeks recommended using SKTools to figure this out and behold: not only a way to see where the install folder is, but you can move it to the card from the device and vice-versa if wanted!
I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 with stock WinMO 6.5. Recently when trying to watch youtube vids I get an error stating "Storage Full".
I have a 4GB microSD card that I install most of my stuff on. The onboard memory shows:
OS Memory = 512MB
Total Storage = 192.80 MB
Used Storage = 185.16 MB
Free Storage = 7.65 MB
OS Program Memory = 288 MB
Total Program = 183.18 MB
Used Program = 105.80 MB
Free Program = 77.38 MB
I'm not a techie so I'm not really sure what the difference is between the OS Memory and the OS Program Memory. I've removed some of the programs from the remove program feature under the settings tab. But it hasn't freed up any space. I've soft reset the device and also ran cleanram on setting #3.
What do I need to do to free up space? I used the file explorer to see if I could locate any items bloating my storage space but had no luck.
Anyone?
Total Storage = 192.80 MB
Used Storage = 185.16 MB
Free Storage = 7.65 MB

theres your problem, you need to delete or uninstall things that are installed to the device, not the storage card, check in My Documents, you might have a lot to delete in there
i noticed when i sync files with my PC using activesync it tends to double up a lot of them every time i sync, so ill have this:
Ringtone.wav
Ringtone (1).wav
Ringtone (1) (1).wav
Ringtone (2).wav
also you can look in program files to see what apps are installed to the device rather than the storage card (look in \Program File\ not \Storage Card\Program Files\)

Thats the thing though. My documents really doesn't have much in it. No music, videos, ringtones, etc. There are a few stray files in the "My Documents" root that might total 100k. Is there a specific folder on the "Device" that shows the installed prgrams to internal memory? And if so is it safe to just delete the folders or should I use in uninstall feature of some type?
anything installed to the device will be installed to \Program Files\ and if there is an uninstall option use that, if not it should be ok to delete the folder if you dont use the app, i dont know what all get installed with the stock sprint rom
and on that note, it might not be a bad idea to look into custom roms, i use energy rom myself (also on a sprint TP2)
Well I went into programs files and found a few stray pieces of software that I originally downlaoded via marketplace. These did not show up in the remove prgram area of the setting menu.
I also found a temp directory that had a lot of facebook album photos cached there. That freed up a little more space. Now it shows I have 20.5MB free. I'll have to scan more directoried and see if I can find more garbage to get rid of.
Thanks.

Clear your browser cache. That helped me.

Hi all.
First thanks to all in these forums. If not all, then most of my questions about WMxx has been answered here. Thanks to all the chefs for cooking ROMS and thanks to all you fiddlers out there making our software much more usable.
I have the HTC HD2 (Leo) and i´m using GoogleMaps a lot. At the same time i have a lot of software installed, taking up quite a lot of space on internal storage - resulting in low memory warnings from time to time.
Moved email attachments to storage card, now there´s only those annoying 20-something MB of cache from GoogleMaps.
This problem has been presented lots of times, but no answer has been given, so i looked in to it and found a solution.
I modified two files in the app.
The two files GoogleMaps.exe and gmm_setup.dll in "program files\GoogleMaps" needs to be modified as follows:
Search and replace (using a hexeditor):
"cache\cache-GLM.dat" with "\Storage Card\c.dat"
and
"cache\index-GLM.dat" with "\Storage Card\i.dat"
PLEASE use the exact names!
Move the two files cache-GLM.dat and index-GLM.dat from "Application Data\GoogleMaps\Cache" to the storage card (root). Rename them to c.dat and i.dat respectively.
Delete the cache folder in application data\GoogleMaps (leave the "application data\GoogleMaps" folder intact).
You are now good to go, enjoy.
For the lazy ones, i will upload the two modified files as a RAR-file. The files are version 4.1.1, latest version of GoogleMaps for WM. Extract and replace the ones in "Program Files\GoogleMaps"
There are now three files:
GM_EXE_DLL_InternalStorageGMFoldert.rar:
Puts the large cache in Internal Storage under subfolder GM (please create this folder yourself) and the index in appdata\GoogleMaps\Cache (Please create the cache folder again).
GM_EXE_DLL_StorageCardGMFolder.rar:
Puts the large cache in Storage Card under subfolder GM (please create this folder yourself) and the index in appdata\GoogleMaps\Cache (Please create the cache folder again).
GM_EXE_DLL_StorageCardRoot.rar:
Simply does what the original did, puts the two files in Storage Card, root.
For best result, start GoogleMaps, go to settings and clear image/map cache and restart, it will rebuilt the cache. Let me know of any errors, i have tested Storage Card with and without GM folder, but NOT Internal Storage.
YES!
That's what I'm talking about
Many thanks
thnx man........
my diamond has "internal storage" instead of: "storage card"
can you make the modified two files to "internal storage" name
thanks in advance
thanks, works great! used the cab installation. is there a way to put the cache files in a folder in the storage card. at present, they are stored separately in the storage card root.
Modified to other settings
Yes you can modify the files to whatever you like (including subfolders), BUT that requires the address-pointers, virtual pointers etc. to be correctly set (as you would increase the file size, thereby offsetting the internal pointers within the files).
This is not my strong point. I have been reading a bit on it, but haven't fully understood it yet. Perhaps some friendly soul here at XDA would be of help?
ok, it's no biggie for me anyways. thanks once again for this mod.
why you just don't install google maps on the storage card and delete the google maps cache in the internal storage (application data/google maps) ? then the cache will also be on the storage card's application data folder. no need to do all this ...
UPDATE
Hi
Well perhaps that works for you, have read multiple threads on several forums describing that it does not work - do you have a working installation that puts the actual cache-files on the storage card permanently?
Updated the first post regarding subfolder and "Internal Storage".
It works for me and not only in one device but also on my Touch Pro and Touch HD.
I delete the google maps application data folder, and the shortcut in the Start Menu.
May be, it is this : even if you install google maps in the storage card, the other installation (which is in the ROM - internal memry) remains in the device and when you run google maps, you actually run the old program (installed in the internal memory) which creates the cache in the internal memory.
so - may be - if you delete first the shortcut in the start manu (and the application data folder) , and then install google maps in the srorage card, so the shortcut in the start menu refers to the one installed in the storage card, it may solve your problem.
Great job, man!
I'm just thinking about this issue and got your thread
