Change the default filename for photos taken with the camera!!
Does anyone know how i can change the taken images from the camera to be named according to the date like yyyy_mm_dd or yyyymmdd cause the way it does name them image## is not good for me cause i take different kind of pics...i have them organized into folders and when i put them there the camera will take again pics with the same counter and i should rename them manually...i'd like to have them named according to date cause this way they are arranged better too....
there was a cab fix for HD2 that added this as an option....is there anything equivalent for wildfire S???
p.s. just bought mine and haven´t unrooted it yet. So far.
Don't know how to change this format :/
PS. You've got to wait for root.

Here's a couple of quick .cabs I created for myself and decided to share with everybody else. "Calibri Mod" will change your system font to the Calibri font. Screenshots below. The second cab "NRG Battmeter" will put a line at the top of your screen that indicates your battery charge at all times. It turns blue when charging, yellow or red depending on the battery charge remaining. Enjoy
p.s. You HAVE to reboot to see the changes made by any of the these two cabs...
Thanks NRG! You mos def have some great contributions! I like the Calibri mod. I tried to alter mine to Lucida Grande myself by just dumping the font in the Window\Fonts folder and doin' the Reg edits, but it just looked too big still. Lucida Grande is a great font though. You might want to try it with something.
PS - What background is that you use?
how can i get these fonts for the wm6.0 offical rom can anyone direcet me to the right link to download and find out how i can change my fonts
thanks guys
i don't see any difference between the battery meter in your thumbnail and the one already included in kavana/ricky's roms. Is there something I'm missing?
its that green bar on top of the screen, almost useless, but probably visually pleasing
and when I installed the calibri font cab it would freeze up my phone periodically for like 10/20 seconds every 5 or so minutes so I removed it....i dunno why this happened.
Hey NRGZ28 Can upload The Chome.dll file for me ,,,, the one where it shows your photos on your storage card on your sliding homescreen .. thank you and nice file....
you can find that in Rickwyatts Kavana Rom thread

Actually, you may not want to use that .dll on that thread.... it shows ALL image files in the pictures on the home screen....i mean ALL ! every .ico file from all directories on your storage card. all temporary internet files with imagees attached. everything! However, if you want to do this without a .dll fix then create a file called pictures in your storage card's root directory ( not My pictures...just pictures) place your pics in that folder and you will be able to see them on your home screen... the only problem is that if you have photos you've take from your camera. they will not immediately go into that folder, so yo'll have to cut and paste them in that folder as you take your pictures from your camera. I'm currently working on a way for the camera to put those pics immediately into that folder via regedit , but i've had no luck so far
If you look in HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/Camera/Image you can edit SaveFolder_0409 to Pictures instead of My Pictures, and that takes care of your folder issue I believe, the only thing is it saves the pictures file into storage card/my documents and not into the root directory. But I remember seing a place that does have the path where the pictures go to, but haven't found it yet.

Naw i tried that.... when you make that edit, what happens is the camera creates the folder \storage card\my documents\pictures and/or creates the folder \my documents\pictures if you have it saved to your local device as soon as you take a picture.. somewhere it still starts at the \my documents folder
i've done a lot of digging and modding with the registry in addition to editing the aforementioned key but i have had no success
i modded everything that started with \my documents or that started with \mydocuments\my pictures hell i even created another folder called pictures in the phones root directory and it didnt make a difference
ohhh NRG, i love the new battert meter thats a really nice touch. Great job

Does the DOT DOT folder work in WM ? Can you specify "\..\Pictures". That way if it automatically prepends My Documents in either the Storage Card or the Device, the .. would take you back to the parent folder (top level) again.
May be worth a try.

Naw it doesn't work. Unfortunately the Key is looking for a direct attribute , not an attribute in directory structure. I've tried the ..\ thing and it doesn't do anything
I have tried the font change cab...but...it only changes my system fonts...
How do I change the home screen font?...
I have edited the .XML and have the font in the windows directory....
Any ideas?
I have added the .XML
What I'd like to know is how you got that battery icon!

NRG Battery Meter?
Is it not this? http://www.saman-cz.com/ppc/index.html?spbattmet.html
No diss intended just thought i'd seen it before.
I never called it mine... I just put it in a cab.

Sorry it's just named "NRG Battmeter" which tends to make it look like it's your's no mention of Saman who made the software.
Any chance of doing a thread on showing us how to incorporate our own fonts? Sure many people would be interested.
thanks bro
Does anybody know how you can add more frames to Camera on the HTC S620. Ive just come back from holiday and when I was using the Camera for a few "fun pix" I was greatly dissapointed in the lack of choice... basicaly it only had four week frames to choose from. So as soon as I got back I went about getting some more frames for my phone.... which I found, but my phone cant find them. Ive already tried adding a "Frames" folder to "My Documents" both on my phone and the storage card but yet the phone doesnt recognise any of the frames. Anybody else have this problem or even better can anyone else give me instruction on how to get it to work?
if anybody wants to know the Camera Software im using is the Camera for Smartphones version 4.52 that came pre installed with the phone as I dont want to be having more than one installed.
Just out of curiosity, what's a fun frame?
I knew the camera software on the Dash could do "effects" like sepia or negative. Never heard of the above.
I am in the same boat, what exactly is a "fun" frame just wondering?
oh, I assumed all the HTC S620's had all the same basic software I wasnt aware that Frames wernt available on all models.
What I mean by fun frames is like Magazine Covers which you select and take a picture with the frame on top of it.
The four that come with the BT ToGo version which I have is one which has two magazine covers on (you take two pictures and they get put into the frame), a cartoony spikey frame, one which looks like a notice board with two pictures on and finally a folding frame that holds three pictures...
the problem is that they are too specific like the memo on the notice board say "I love you" on one and "happy birthday" on the other... and the three way folding frame has love hearts on so it isnt like you can use them on any occasion.
...Picture Themes, thats what they are!!! Mabey I would have got more response if I posted under that.
Yea this is a ROM specific function. I remember having this on my T-Mobile SDA. You could have images pre drawn on the screen with a spot in the middle of the screen so yo could take a picture and use the template around the picture. For example: i had one that was a template of bubbles, snorkle and face mask, and if you got the picture aligned properly you could make it look liit the person you wrre taking a pic of was wearing the snorkel and mask and look like they were underwater. Kinda cool effect. I never noticed this feature on the DASH though.
edit: i just found the templates on WM 6.1 , but the four that are preloaded are pretty lame.
Aaaaahhhhh, never mind Ive found out how you do it...
the trouble was BT never provided me with a manual with the phone, its all done online in PDF format now. But after trawling through the PDF I eventually found out how to add extra frames -
Template Folder (Picture Theme only). By default, templates are
stored in the \My Documents\Templates folder on the device’s Main
Memory. If you transferred some templates to a storage card (via File
Explorer), set this option to Main + Card to specify that templates are
located in both the main memory and the storage card.

so thats where I was going wrong, I had read somewhere that the folder had to be called Frames... when that didnt work I renamed it Template when all along it should have been Templates.
Thanks anyway.

do you have any templates to share?
Templates
Here you go.
Uh, I know it's not rocket science, but my upload keeps failing, I was trying to upload a few templates that I have for the DASH, Excalibur, etc.
Yeah I have found one or two good ones, I will try and post them sometime today
A couple of Wako Jacko's from BoSelecta (one just does the face while the other takes the face and background)
a Shrek and Fiona and a Wanted poster for now...
I think the frames from Sony Ericson phones should work (320x240) so im going to see if I can find them on my girlfriends phone and copy them onto my excalibur. The Sony Erricsons have some great fun frames and to be honest a really good camera built into their phones.
Does the frame need a special neme or extension?.
In Which folder need to be placed?
PS: Sorry my bad English

I am looking for a solution too. There are two things that I hate on my Desire, the missing proper, with categories, and direct sync to Outlook or Thunderbird and the stupid file names that the standard camera produces.
Basically my camera functions, i can see what id like to take a picture of on the screen, but when i save the picture i took, the image is scrambled lines of color. if i transfer those picture files to my computer they look the same, scrambled. So if the camera functions and theyre saving scrambled on my phone im assuming its a software issue with htc's built in camera app and i do not look forward to a hard reset.
I know its been asked before because i just did a ton of research, but is the camera cab file for the rhodium, more specifically the AT&T Tilt 2 available online anywhere, does anyone have it or a way to extract it? Id be incredibly grateful for your help, thanks for your time and efforts in advance.
actually i stand corrected. it is taking pictures properly, because i just went into HTC Album, and the pictures look perfect. In touch flo3d they look scrambled, and i even went into file explorer and saw scrambled photos. so maybe this is a random occurence? but they still always appear distorted in everything else but HTC Album. Now im lost. definite software issue, i still have a feeling the camera cab file would work, unless its touch flo3d corrupt. opinions?
nope. only the thumbnails in HTC Album look perfect, when you tap on the thumbnail the picture full sizes into the scrambling im talking about. definitely an interesting software issue.
anybody? is there a newer version of the HTC Camera cab thats is easy to find and will work? or does someone think its not the camera app? suggestions?
Hey,
Since the last updates from LG (Software version V30C), I'm not able to edit my pictures with the original tools.
I mean, that I can edit the picture, but when I'm confirming the change to save the picture, it's note saved to my phone. Only the original one remain without the changes.
Do you have this issue also?
Nobody can test it on his phone?
