Hello everybody,
is there a way to set the camera of the TP2 that way, that it will create a new folder every day, where it saves the pics of this day?
No. But you can do the following
What I do as a work-around is to have the date&time as the filename prefix. Unfortunately, for some reason, HTC doesn't allow you to do this by default.
You have to use the Advanced Config tool and do the following:
1. Set the camera to save files to "My Pictures" rather than "DCIM"
2. Set the default path for images to "sd card\my documents\my pictures"
After a soft reset, go into your camera app's settings. You should now be able to adjust the "prefix" setting.
Thanks for the answer, but I HAVE found a way that there will be a folder for every single day, named with the date.
Just edit this registry entry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Captparam\EnableDateFolder value 0 to 1
Pics will then be found in DCIM\100Media\XX-XX-XXXX !

1) To edit the contact link Total Commander isn't needed. Use resco explorer, Action, Open Widh, Notepad. Edit, then Save and exit Notepad
2)I've mapped the right key to SEND SMS to the contact
I've copied and renamed, using Activesync, all Dial_Contact**m.lnk located in \Storage Card\Program Files\Excalibur Photo Dialer\ as SMS_Contact**m.lnk (** stands for contact's phone number)
I've opened and modified the shortcut as 44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "+xx-xxx-xxxx" (XXXX stands for the contact's phone number )
3) Using OLDSAP Favorites is easy to rename in CPhotoDial panel, SK2TEXT as Send SMS and the SK2URL to \Storage Card\Program Files\Excalibur Photo Dialer\SMS_Contact**m.lnk
DONE
ill add this to my next rom coming tonight

ah, heck i'll just flash the new rom.
The best way to test if the SMS_Contact**m.lnk works is to launch it from resco explorer. If it doesn't work may be you made a TYPO in the shortcut (forgotten " or UPPER/lowercase problem, double space or no space)
The Correct debugging is done opening the SMS_Contact1m.lnk:
1) LEAVE ONLY
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe"
SAVE AND LAUNCH, are you in the messaging application? YES
2) open again and write
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS"
SAVE AND LAUNCH,are you in the SMS inbox? YES
3) open again and write
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "+1111"
SAVE AN LAUNCH, are you trying to send an SMS to 1111? YES
END
If any NO double check and repeat

i cant get this to work for nothing. lol maybe im missing something. i know ricky put it in his new rom but i just flashed maybe a few hours before he put it out.
so you just synced to your pc, copied over the Dial_contact**m.ink renamed it, edited it (on pc or phone?) then ran it to see if it worked?
nevermind i figured it out.
i had to move the # symbol from #44 to 44# to get it to work
Sorry, it was MY TYPO in the message! !

I have a suggestion, Ricky why u dont do like Kavana´s did with the keymap ?
There´s a problem when u try, using other keymap language, like portuguese, the problem is with the xt9 why u dont use et9 ?
Maybe Im talking a lot of bullshits, but I saw that u are using XT9 and when I change the language nothing happen,
could u check that ?
Tx bro!

Thanks for the break down, missed a space. Works great!!
It's very bad to see that people are using software that I developed for the Shadow: Photo Dialer, CHome Menu, etc... using all the icons that I moded with Photshop, even the same URL for Action Keys... and nobody gives credit for it.
I don't mind sharing software with people (that is why I put together a site for it) but some credit would be appreciated.
Everytime I use an idea from someone (e.g. Dialer using vjay dialer, cyberbuddha's interface tweaks) at least I mention that people in the description of the software.
What is this CPhotoDialer and does anyone have a screenshot?
It's this: http://freddyreyes.com/forums/index.php?topic=286.0
It's not "bad" to see people using it. It's not like you own the software. You just discovered how to tweak Microsoft's software. It IS bad that we're not giving credit where credit is due. But then again, this is a different forum, a different phone, etc.... Credit would be nice, but you don't have to whine about it I've created a few cabs myself with settings for people and not always credit for it. But then again, it's okay... because it's not my software
I was mad at it and wanted to express my frustration....
it's ok no hard feelings....

Screenshots anywhere? or did I miss something that's right in front of me?
Freddy, here's some credit for you: Thanks a bunch! I'm using the hell out of my phone now, and quickly doing almost all the things I hoped I would with a Smartphone, and your tools are a really nice part of it.
I hope that our tinkering helps you in kind, and that you all get your own Shadow forum on XDA soon, so we can share more.
I backed into this solution from reading problems other people had trying to change the location where their pictures were stored.
Somehow my registry got one little bad value and I couldn't take pictures. I thought they were just being saved somewhere odd. But in fact the path was OK, the FORMAT was wrong. This is worth checking for anyone having mysterious problems with their pictures.
Check the registry entry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\General\EnableDCIM
It MUST be set to "0". If it is set to "1", you won't be able to use your camera.
The best I can figure if this is set to 1, then the picture is stored in the DCIM format (at least I think that's a format). You do end up with files in the expected directory, they just can't be read by any of the phone's picture handling programs. So, whatever it is, in the world of JPG this is just about worthless.
Is there a way ti change the "internet icon" to a different home page other than that stupid web2go site? I tried deleting it on Internet Explorer but it still shows YouTube, CNN, ESPN and Facebook. Thanks in advance. It's been bugging me for a while now.
You can edit the InternetPortal-en-us.xml file under \Application Data\Manila to change it. Connect your phone to your computer thru Active Sync, navigate to that folder, move to desktop, uncheck Read-Only attribute, change, save, reapply Read-Only attribute, replace file on phone.
Here is the part that will change the page:
NavigateUrl="http://web2go.com"
UrlText="web2go"
Thanks for the quick response. I can't seem to find the file which is in the Manila folder. Thanks again xnifex!
uh, if it's not there, i really can't help. it shoudl be there though. If its not on yours, i can post mine on here & then you can edit it however you want & then put it on yours. let me know.
That would be much appreciated xnifex thank you!
here is the Tmo default file
make sure to take off the Read-Only attribute so you can edit it in notepad, then reapply the attribute & put it in \Application Data\Manila
you can also edit the 4 bookmarks while you're at it. if you change the youtube one, make sure to copy the code for the icon from one of the other 3 bookmarks so it won't show a youtube icon
Sweeeet! I got it to work, thank you soooooooo much man. It's been bugging me forever! You're awesome!!!

Anybody know how to make the HTC music player (think it's called AudioManager) on the TF3D music tab completely IGNORE specific folders when its creating the library?
I have a folder into which I save recorded phone calls (yes, its legal here in Minnesota, I checked). But if I want to have the music player play ALL songs on random, I'll be driving along listening to music and all of a sudden the next song is a friggin phone call I saved. Kinda lame.
Anybody know how to fix this? I know there is a registry key to make the HTC Album ignore specific folders, so I tried copying that key into the Audio Manager area of the registry, but it didn't work (of course).
Greatly appreciate any help!
I save my ringtones on my SD card so that they're easier to recover after a hard reset or a new ROM flash. To prevent the music player from picking them up, I save them into a zip file. In your case, you'll have to manually move the file into the zip every time you finish recording a call. If that's sounds ok to you, then you can give this a shot.
Yeah, that'd be alot of work for me right now. I'm going through some crap which requires me to save at least a couple calls a day, so having to constantly re-zip stuff would get pretty cumbersome.
Actually though, I might try that. I think the player only refreshes the library when run for the first time, after which you have to delete the .vol file in the Application Data -> HTC -> AudioManager folder. So if that's true, I could zip what I currently have, force the library to refresh, and then unzip and leave them alone.
I'll see if that works, and the player doesn't automatically refresh the library and find those files again.
Thanks for the suggestion...
SOLVED!!!
Sweet!
While using Resco Explorer to try your suggestion, I stumbled upon the solution! I was looking to see if I could zip them directly with Rescoe, which you can't do, when I had another idea.
Using Rescoe, all I had to do was make the FOLDER with the audio files I did NOT want included in the library a HIDDEN FOLDER. Then went to the music tab in TF3D and bam! Those files were no longer in the library!
Sweet!!!
So thanks for your suggestion, it was that alone which made me figure out this unbelievably easy way to pull this off!
Oh, and sure enough, the call recorder still works and has no problem storing the recorded phone calls in the hidden folder. I'm using ACR - Automatic Call Recorder, in case anyone is wondering. It's FREE, and works great.
Thanks!
The Finish In Touch
I Know, double posting, but it's the real solution and i've been searching all over the forum, so to help others i've answered this thread as well.
Here's what i did and found:
EDIT REGISTRY
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\C onfig]
"device_scan_path_type_0"=dword:00000001
"device_scan_path_path_0"="\My Documents"
"device_scan_path_path"="\My Documents"
"music_player_time_mode"=dword:00000000
"music_player_mute"=dword:00000000
"music_player_shuffe"=dword:00000000
"music_player_loop"=dword:00000000
"music_player_index"=dword:00000000
"ring_tone_path"="\My Documents\\My Ringtones\"
"uid"=dword:000113E5
"drag_mute_timer"=dword:00000000
"Resume_play_delay_time"=dword:000007D0
"music_player_volumn"=dword:00000064
"Request_Memory"=dword:00300000
"Enable_ForcePrevious"=dword:00000001
"enter_suspend"=dword:00000001
"disable_mute_hotkey"=dword:00000001
ADD new STRING
"sd_exclude_path_path_0"="\My Ringtones"
ADD new DWORD
"sd_exclude_path_type_0"=dword:00000000
Each folder you want to exclude needs a STRING and a DWORD
The number in above example (_0) is the number of the "folder set" if there's already a number just add 1.
The DWORD 1 means device 0 for storage card
For example if i'll add another one:
folder on device "\My Documents\Recordings"
ADD new STRING
"sd_exclude_path_path_1"="\My Documents\Recordings"
ADD new DWORD
"sd_exclude_path_type_1"=dword:00000001
Restart device (soft reset), no need to hide any folders
Thanks for this
Hi Softappz,
Thanks for this solution just tried it on my HD2 and it's banished those pesky ringtones from the player
Doesn't work for me when I enter
"sd_exclude_path_path_0"="\Program Files"
"sd_exclude_path_type_0"=dword:00000000
It finds some ring tones in the sub-folders. Do I have to specify every single sub-folder?
This will serve me a lot! thanks
Didn't work for me. So I used the solution found here.
Quick note: Total Commander did not make sub-directories hidden as well. I had to mount my sd on my pc and manually set any folder I wanted as hidden. It all works flawlessly now
I still can't get the reg entries to work. I've looked into hiding folders and this doesn't work either.
The only way I can find to do this is to hide the actual audio files. This can be done in total-commander - but as akpidis found out if you want to hide sub-folders and files then you will need to do this from a PC. You can select multiple audio files from total commander (you can even do a search for all .mp3 files in sub-folders) and then set them as hidden, which may be better than hiding all files and folders from PC.
Hope this helps someone. (I'm using TouchFlo2.1)
i have RUU 2.2 on my Incredible. -- it only contained 1 Ringtone (Verizon Default).
my energy is focused towards projects for Cisco VPN and remote server support.
your 1 or 2 sentence reply can save me much time. -- thanks in advance.
where do i add custom audio files so i can quit using this awful ringtone?
system/media/audio
Thanks again!
The audio folder was totally empty. So I took the sub folders from cm6..
I find it interesting that there is a default ringtone if these folders disappear. I could never find the location of the default ringtone named "Verizon Default".
Well I have a similer problem but when I load files into the system/media/ringtones on the Incredilbe-4.06.605.2-Gingerbread-2.3.4-RLS2-Rooted-Signed they wont show. Also the ringtones that show up in my settings ringtones is in that folder so where whould they be.
I have spent hours trying to find them with no luck.
