You don't have to put them in that folder to choose them as wallpaper, just click the "albums" soft-button in the wallpaper chooser, and you can point it to other locations. I recommend just putting them in a folder on your SD card, that way it will save space in your phone's memory, and they'll still be there after any hard-resets. If you don't have an SD card, the normal My Documents folder will do just fine.

I have recently upgraded to WM6.1 (kavanna's) and i have put the rinku iconbar on it and the weather sliding panels, kinoma freeplayer and all teh other prgrams that i have seen that work well. Love the ROM, great work to all, but i just have one question.
How do i get pictures and ringtones for my contacts because right now all i have is the number and name listed and i don't have an option for selecting a ringtone or assinging a picture to them. I have been searching throught the threads for 2 days and the most i can find is little info about a program called RINGO and photo...somethin pro and there wasn't much postive feedback about either.
Please help
Thanks
6.1 same as 6
start - contacts - edit
custom ringtones will need to be on main memory if I'm not mistaken
scroll down to select pics or set custom ringtone

Custom ringtones can also be on the root of storage card.
The contact you wish to add these too has to be in the phone mem not sim
You probably don't see the options for pictures and ringtones because the contacts are stord on the SIM. Move them to the phone memory and it will open up those options.
thanks i had them all on my sim card didn't realize i had to move them back to access those options Thanks again

yea took me a while to figure that too but now that i've found it i don't let those free phone getters laugh at me cuz i can't see the pic of whos calling me. lol
does anyone know the folder structure for making sure, if i store sounds on the storage card, that any alerts are purely for short sounds, and custom rintones selects a folder full of just my ringtones?
meaning:
Custom Ringtones -------> ring tone only folder on storage card
Custom Alerts ------> short sounds only folder on storage card
??? i thought i had it right but my custom ringtones options (all ringtones on the storage card are stored under storage card/my ringtones) ALWAYS brings up all my short sounds too (which are stored in storagecard/my documents).
all my alerts options bring up short sounds only.
Does anyone know of a way to hide folders from the picture album?
By entering the path of the folder you wish to hide in this registry
HKLM\software\htc\htcalbum\ignored\
Note this will also hide the folder from being browsed when selecting an image for TF3D wallpaper.

I don't know why HTC design the album in that way. Don't they know there are so many pictures of icons,wallpaper,backgroud,windows fame etc. in the software installed folders?
I think in many cases its a toss up. Some devices will only detect images or music in the "music" or "images/pictures" folder or some similar setup. But then you have to be careful to always put them in those. If you want to have a more haphazard organization for whatever reason it's hard to make sure the player/viewer will differentiate between program images and the users scattered images.
It can be done, but it can be troublesome.
hello guys, i did own a iphone but had so many problems so sold it and bought the htc one x while i love it and me being a first time android user i have a few questions please needing answered...ok here we go
1, the home screen wallpaper what size do i need to make one for just to have the middle home screen? so it will stay static across all homescreen's without scroll? what dimension's?
2, how do install ringtones, music , pictures as i'm on a macbook, can i just plug it into the usb to computer and drag and drop?
3, can i alter my default icons to different ones like the phone , sms icons etc...to custom ones i'm running stock everything as its brand new out the box yesterday and would like to keep it that way if possible...? is it possible?
4, how do i delete app's off the phone i no longer want?
5, i saw a app UCCW custom clock maker how can i install one's from here people have posted zip file for where do the files go? and can i use them running stock firmware etc out of the box?
1. 1280x720...someone please correct me if I'm wrong
2. I usually connect my phone and then open my phone's drive and extract my music files into the "dcim" folder. However you can also just use a program like windows media player or winamp or whatever else program and it should do the transferring part for you. Same with images, I put them in the dcim folder.
If you want to set a song or tune as your ring tone simply open your music app, touch and hold the song/tune you'd like to usw until an option menu extends. Option should be there, simply follow it
3. Yes, you can. However changing icons might only seem possible without rooting your phone if you use an external launcher. Try searching for "go launcher" in the play store. Or use "nova launcher".. note that you won't be able to use sense widgets on external launchers.

4. Open your app drawer, click and touch an app you would like to uninstall. The.background will turn to your home screen and the top right corner should be highlighted "uninstall". Simply drag your all over.
5. That is something someone else would have to answer, but they would be doing me a favor as well, haha! Good luck with your one x. Welcome on board
shadehh has replied most of your questions but I could add in .
4 . You can go to Setting > Apps and click on the apps you want to uninstall too . You can also download Easy Uninstaller from Play Store to have a more easy uninstalling experience .
5 . In android , we use a file type ".apk" to install stuff such as Window's ".exe" to install stuff and so on . So maybe the zip file of the app you mentioned consist the apk file in the zip and yes you can use them running stock firmware etc out of the box .
You can create a folder called "Ringtones" on the root directory of your sdcard and put whatever mp3 you want to use as your ringtone in it. This mp3 can then be selected from settings -> personalize -> sound -> ringtones.
The same goes for alarms and notifications. Just create folders called "Alarms" and "Notifications" on the root directory of your sdcard and they will be selectable in the personalization settings.

thanks for the help very much appreciated :good:
First off i think CM10 has done a very good job with the wallpapaers but i still like my own custom wallpapers and i would like to move my .png wallpaper onto the CM10 wallpaer folder so that whenever i want to chage my wallppaer there all in one folder. So yeah wheres that folder?
Just make a map on your SD card. Put your wallpapers in there. Then press the 'menu' button on your home screen and choose 'wallpaper' (or something similar). Then browse with the gallery and your wallpaper map will be in there.
You can also browse directly in the gallery and long press on a picture.
Good luck!

Whenever I open the gallery, all of the artwork from my mp3s is mixed in with the my pictures. This makes it next to impossible to find something quickly. Is there an easy way to organize them out or hide them without clicking each individual picture? This seems very dumb. My iphone, nor any other phone I've ever used does this. Thoughts?
In your music folder, put an empty text file with the filename 'nomedia' (without the quotation marks and file extention). Then in settings > apps > gallery , select clear data.

Sorry for being dense, but the hierarchical structure you listed doesn't work.
Did you mean setting>general(tab)>apps?....if so "gallery" isn't listed there. If I go into gallery and try to move the photos, it just randomly moves them around.....no labels or anything. I don't understand. Do I need to go into my windows explorer on my pc to adjust the folders?....that seems dumb that you can't easily do it from the phone.

It normally has to be done on the computer I believe but it might not let the android media scanner find your music or use the pictures for album artwork. I honestly I just use QuickPic and it has the options to hide(.no media) and exclude folders and I just select exclude folders from my main music folder so it doesn't include them.

Hi!
Yes i meant setting>general(tab)>apps. Under apps if you scroll horizontally u will find gallery under 'ALL' tab.
In order to move files, folders or any other operation to a file or folder, you need to use a file manager app. There are different file managers available for android. Personally i use ES file manager. A pretty good app called just File Manager is already there in G Pro. You can use it to manage your folders.
As jesi.james above pointed out putting the .nomedia (sorry i missed the '.' before nomedia in my previous post) file in your music folder will hide the album arts from the gallery but it will hide the music files from the music player as well. I am sorry i wasnt aware of that. i do not store my music on my phone. I listen to it from play music.
To solve your problem, i found that there is an option in the gallery menu to hide/show albums. You can choose the albumd you do not want to see in your gallery. If you have a large music collection, you will have to select the albums one by one. Frustrating.
Next option is to use Quickpic. This is a very good alternative to the default gallery and it gives you options to select folders you want show or hide in quickpic as mentioned by the guy above.
