[Q] Where do pics save to? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello this is my first post so hello... anyway ive searched everywhere for this but cant find the answer... for some reason my phone decided to work like it had molasses inside of it today. Slow is not the word to describe it. nonfunctioning is better. LauncherPro fc like 15 times, Sense also. Nothing different happened exept maybe i got a bunch of automatic updates this morning. but thats it. anyway i wanna hard reset the device(which i really hate to do) and start again... are my pics/videos,taken with this phone, saved to the phone, or sd. what else should i be concerned about loosing.
Amazing there is no way to fully back up your phone... my palms were amazing.... hard reset a million times and push one button and its all back... Sprite was awesome

Pics and videos are saved on the sdcard in the DCIM folder.

[Q] where do our pics get saved to??

I have flashed three different roms idk how many times today, and I tried to check-out my pics and they wernt there. And I don't know what to do or where to look for them at...... plz help..
i cant guarantee this is where yours are but this is where mine are saved
sdcard/dcmi/100media for camera
sdcard/downloads for text
sdcard/download for web
Ok cool I found them, but when I open the gallery app it says no photos or videos found. And the same thing is going on with my music. How can I fix this, I found everything on my sdcard, so how do I get the players to find them??
Unless there is a . In front of your folder it should pick them up automatically try taking your sdcard put it back on see what happens

The Roms I have been flashing are cyanogen 6.1, freak e senseless, and Ava froyo10 would that have anything to do with it?

i wish i could tell you but i really dont know it should be cant figure out why its not
I ask cuz i had trouble with 3d gallery trying to find pics that were in subfolders. I think i was using myns rom.
Im not exactly sure how to make the gallery find them especialy if their not already there, but unmounting then mounting the sdcard or using switch pros feature to reload media would be my only suggestion.
I fixed my problem, i put all my important files on the computer including my pics. Then i formatted my sdcard then i put all of my pics in the DCIM folder under the camera file and walla i fixed the problem.

The album should find them automatically. I took out my SIM card and put it into a friends Evo and my music and photos were automatically compiled. Is your SD card still mounted? Because if so, your SD card won't work till you unmount it from your PC.

I don't know what would cause it to do only that. And I know how you feel, my mom's phone messed up back in 2005 when I had my extensive brain surgery, and all the pics were trapped in that phone, and till this day they still are and can't be taken off the memory and won't turn on.
So I know your fury, but I hope it was a one time thing...

So these files can't even be seen when you have your sd card mounted as a disk drive? You go to your DCIM folder, and your pics aren't in there? I have seen people report of there being a ".nomedia" file being put in certain folders, by certain apps. When there is a .nomedia file in a folder, the gallery won't scan that folder for pics, and they won't be visible in your gallery. Are you sure that something like this didnt happen? I've seen that certain music players can put these .nomedia files in certain folders. For what reason, I'm not sure.
Or is it far worse than that, and all of your folders are actually 100% missing from the card all together?
Yeah they str8 up deleted from my card.. i thankfully use mylookout and miq to backup my pics. I found a lot but my sons r missing from that week kinda ****ty.. and

Well that's odd, and I have no idea what would cause that? I usually copy the contents of my sd card to my computer every couple of weeks, and then just delete the prior one. Just in case I were to ever lose my phone, or if the card went south, like yours did. So I always have a relatively up to date copy of my sd card on my pc.
And you're talking about your signature? How it's showing that you have a Desire HD? That's funny, are you on a port at the moment?

yeah i think im gonna start doing that .. and yeah i forgot i did the virus port LOl.. that answers that question..
i think i asked in another thread about edify.. i been making flashable fonts for myself after reading a how to.. would that cause my card to crap out.. could i not be doing edify correctly?
Well if the edify script wasn't correct, I don't think it would have flashed, but I could be wrong.

[Q] Decks Reloaded Questions(believe me i searched before i did this)

I even checked another one in the similar posts thread before finally writing this up. Ok
heres the skinny.
Rom is obv decks reloaded, as far as i know i have the latest update, released on the 25th of may. 44 mag rls.
i did the custom install and went with just about everything optional. (i also have run it in the standard install, the questions i have remain the same, affected me both ways)
I declined to run dtapps2sd because i have so much music on my sd card that backing it all up before wiping and partioning was just not an option.
Using amon-ra recovery
did complete wipes 3x, plus the wiper zip recommended, i love it. It is dam near perfection. Everything runs better, battery lasts longer, no more sprint nascar updates, no more sprint anything, I still have a wee bit of room left on internal storage, i just have, a few little questions/problems
1.I cannot for the life of me, figure out how to download attachments from my email in this rom, i have tried different email apps, ive tried installing the gmail attachment fetcher apps, everything i can think of. still cant get it to let me download anything, wont even pop up the option, just shows a paperclip, mocking me.
2.this might be my main irritation, i dont know what the deal is, or what is going on, but on my first install, and now randomly on my final, i get a weird, brrrgrgrggrggg dj remix dubstep lag sound while im playing music, and sadly, the dsp settings enabling the bassboost, is actually one of my FAVORITE parts about this whole rom, it makes my music sound great, but when it does that nearly in every song playing. it gets annoying, and im trying to figure out why.
I have a 32 gb kingston card, its always worked great, its not even a year old. and its never had a problem before. i still have 8 gigs free on it. I also noticed, when i did my final install, it seemed to actually stop doing it. Until i tried to plug it into my laptop via usb. Then, it was doing it really bad. Took the micro sd out, put it back in, settled down a bit. but i dont know. its a strange, strange thing. Anyone else having this issue? Or know a cause?
3. The usb tether... I saw this quesiton posted before, and the only suggestion was downloading the same version im already running. It will connect, but then, it just keeps asking to connect again, and my status bar starts bouncing text up and down, just go with a usb sync app from the market? any thoughts?
finally,
4. I know its on there, but how do i install the miui cam, i have a file explorer, i cant find it. Is this because im not running apps2sd? If not, where is it located, i looked under apps and data, i did not see anything, and then if i can get pointed to where the heck it is, what is the process, moving it to the folder the actual camera is in, and renaming it to an apk?
I admit. Im still new to all this.
but i do have much love, and, i owe xda, android forums and max @ evohacks alot of thanks and gratitude. Im doing my best, at giving a little where i can
i was going to post a screen shot,but i cant, because im too new , to show i did buy the xda PREMIUM app, what what hahaha...
any help, especially from one of the devs or a certified super genius on this rom, would be greatly, greatly, appreciated. ****, ill say it right now. help me solve these problems, and i will donate to your cause, buy your t-shirt, subscribe to your twitter, blog, whatever(sell my soul, give you my firstborn child....). Truly. and i stick to my word(especially on the soul/child). BIG BIG THANKS to all the devs who made this rom, TRULY. i FN LOVE IT. and if i never figure this crap out, ill keep using it anyways. Until they make a newer one, or i get my GSIII whenever someone decides to tell me when theyre going to actually release the 64gb version. ok. probably way too much talky. bye bye

I'm not sure about your other questions but at least for this one you need a file explorer that allows you to browse outside the sd card (I use root explorer) and then it is in data/app and is labled "MIUI Camera 17.apk" just tap it and it should ask you if you want to install it. At that point it is just an app on your phone.
For the other questions you might be better off posting this in the thread for Decks reloaded. Once it is in there you are more likely to get a response from rope, jaime or one of the other helpful people using this rom who know more than I do
I had the usb problem as well in fact posted about it a few days ago. What worked for me was the second solution of downloading bootmanager lite from the market hope that helps you!
thank you guys

ok, sweet, yeah i mentioned looking at the other threads in similar mentions when posting this. I saw that. I will try it out, or i can always stick to pulling the card itself and using my adapter.

If you're having a problem with the rom, and can find the answer after searching xda and google, the dev's are usually ok with helping you out. If it is a problem unique to you, they'll try and help you and if it's a global problem with teh rom, they will want to know about it anyways.
btw, I replied to your pm about the file explorer.

[Q] Music not showing up in music player(s) [SOLVED]

Looking for some help here. Long time viewer/poster, first time I've had a problem. Perhaps I can find help.
After a music transfer last night, my phone is no longer recognizing the files in my SD card's Music folder. The files can still be located and played through ES File Explorer and other file manager apps, but all my music players (Play Music, Winamp, stock HTC player) do not show them.
Upon searching the forums and the Internet, I have noticed this problem exists across multiple devices, and the solutions are easy to do and seem to work...for everyone except me. Clearing app data/cache, uninstalling/reinstalling, using SDrescan, searching for .nomedia files (none found anywhere), unmounting/remounting, wiping and reflashing my current ROM (DigitalKarma V8)...nothing works, and I am running out of patience. I am close to completely resetting the phone and reformatting the SD card (after backing up, of course...I'm not THAT stupid )
It's likely I may be doing something wrong, but to be safe, I want to see if there is anything I am either missing or overlooking in order to fix this common yet annoying problem. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah the best step if you've tried everything would just be to reformat your sdcard because it sounds like something broke on that
OH. 1 thing before you do that, make sure that the permissions for your music is set to readable by everyone, hopefully that fixes it

Wait, hold the phone. Using File Manager to search my SD card, I find a whole s***load of .nomedia files. ES File Explorer couldn't find them...guess I found a new file manager lol
Now to delete all those files and try this thing again...wish me luck.
Fixed! Looks like I did miss/overlook something, and deleting those .nomedia files took care of everything. Now that I have my music back (and a new file manager...well, not really new, I've used it occasionally in the past), I can get back to enjoying the piece of classic awesome we call the EVO 4G. Consider this case closed.
Put "[SOLVED]" in the thread title please

That's exactly what you do is delete all those .NO MEDIA files. Also, there's an app called Rescan Media that will work

Upgrade from Nexus 5 to 5X and transfer files

Hello, I recently got a Nexus 5X and am wondering what is the best way to copy all my pictures from my Nexus 5. I've tried dragging them off and pasting them onto the new phone, which does work, but the order gets all screwed up and the time created of each file is not preserved. Is there a way to copy pictures (and perhaps other files) while keeping the original timestamps?

unless you use a very wierd camera or gallery app they should stay in order, since the original timestamp is usually included in the files name. for example 'IMG_20160616_103711.jpg' was taken on 16.6.2016 at 10:37:11. so as long as they are sorted by name the files in this case (stock camera) stay in order.
does the stock photos app sort by name? i haven't been able to make that happen, or find that option.. seems just like it's random? maybe i can just delete everything and reimport while in airplane mode or something so there are no interruptions?

google photos gets instantly deactivated on all of my devices, so i am not sure on that front. it should at the very least be able to sort photos by name or the dateincludet in the images metadata (not the 'last changed' stat) though.
oh ok.. what photo app do you use then? I personally dont like the Google Photos app either, I prefer the old gallery app. Also, thanks for chiming in here!

after quickpic became infested and testing out alternatives like focus, i settled for Piktures which does all the things i want from it, although i had to spend some time in the settings. so far i haven't heard anything negativ either.
