Images and Video folders + streaming media

Good evening all of yours!
After many read threads, i make up my mind and start this new one cos i don t find find any good solution...
Is it possible via registry or an applicationto specify in the HTC launcher a particular folder for images and videos? I would like to open all the images and videos i record on storage card.
Then i found already things about the problem but no solutions really about the way to configure streaming media to open onlines videos like youtube and so on...
I had this configuration once after flashing rom and then i flashed again and i don t have it anymore!!
Thks for any answer!!!

Firstly the second post from you is not a way to get attention, this is a forum and expecting an instant response is extremely arrogant.. please let people have a chance to see what your request is before coming back and wasting spacing on questioning why you were not answered. secondly i would hope that with your arrogance may come the miniscule amount of intelligence it takes to do a search.
So for the first part of your question
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"FileSyncPath"="\\Storage Card\\My Documents"
now all your images and videos will save to the storage card and will by default open from there. From here you should be able to figure out where you need to go in registry to tweak the default file locations.
AS for streaming I have no idea but I am sure that the internet connection you obviously have will yield a result thru some search engine...just like the 30 seconds I took out of my life to get the above result which you should have been doing yourself.

Hi Davidf!
Does your member status give you a bigger a.s than the other ones? cause my arrogance don t even deserve a good evening from you!!!!
I replied to my own post about 5 hours after because i m looking for a solution to this little problem since a while, and yes, was impatient to have a solution!
Thank you for your answer to my first question but you see, my post is not so useless as you are not even able to find a solution to the second one!!!!
And what do you reply to the new ones who keeps asking about the stuck with the bootloader after 1% doawnloaded??? do you shoot them up like you did to me??!!!!
Honestly i don t know who is the most arrogant beetwen us!! So i hoppe that you wont be bothered yourself one day with a little or big problem because if everyone starts to answer like you did, you wille be stucked a long time...
By the way, have a good night and take care
***Sorry for all the other persons who will read this but i think that there is perhaps a more gentle way to answer even if my questions were stupid!!!!***

Moving ANY app to SD on FroYo (or how to Enable all grayed out 'Move to SD' buttons)'

Well after reading the forums I found a lot op people complained about not beeing able to push an app to the SD card. And you don't have to root your phone for it. it will give you access to the 'Move to SD' button regardless if the programmer adapted his program for 2.2 yet.
With ADB you can do so very easy !, and there is no root required.
Perform the following steps :
1. Install HTC Sync (see : http://www.htc.com/ (select your device, download, and install ))
2. Install Android developers kit. (See http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-install-android-sdk-and-adb-drivers-for-htc-evo-4g/ for a detailed how to.)
Start ADB.
Use : adb shell pm setInstallLocation [option]
Where option is one of:
0 [auto] Let the system decide.
1 [internal only]
2 [external]
And you are ready to go.
Maybe you should have a read of the official documentation from google : http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html
to understand what you are doing. And what you should not do (Like moving apps that run as a service to the SD card....)
I did this on my Phone and went to the settings and moved every app to SD. On this moment I have 70 MB free where previously i would have the ugly notification saying I needed to free up space. So this trick really seems to work.
Not everything is moved to the SD card, but about 50% to 70% of an app can be moved. The only app that left a substantial footprint on the device is Navigon. This one dropped from 20 MB to about 18 MB.
Everything is still functional and i have not noticed any negative effects so far.....

Reserved for future use

Just an FYI, but it does appear that there are still some apps that can't be moved to SD card using this method.
Skies of Glory is one that I've found that doesn't give you the option to install to sd, regardless of what you've set the install location to be.
Regards,
Dave

So can you confirm what option you chose? Did you choose option 2? If so, does this set the default, so any new app you install automatically goes to the SD card?

yes I put it to 2.
This will do two things....
1. This will give you the abillity to move ANY application to SD. Not completely, but for a big part. (some files remain in phone rom).
2. Any NEW app you install will automatically install on SD.
For sure there are exceptions, and for sure there will be apps that cannot be moved. But it freed up about 80 MB on my phone, so now i have room for more apps.

Fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

I'll try this with Google Earth tonight. Thank you.

I talked to HTC today about this and they said if I do that what u told here that the 2 year-guarantee will be screwed. So thx but no thx! They also said that in future, when other app-makers will make an new app, it will be the only way to make them via FroYo and then all new ones will be able to move to SD-card. So have patiance before U screw up the guarantee.

ill try it out tonite
hey is there any list of apps and games available online which would tell me the list of apps which support sd card save option.
i tried searching the market for "sd" "froyo" yet i dont think this shows the complete list

If you mean google maps, sorry cannot be done, this is part of OS and cannot be moved.
however :
Google sky map drops from 1.78 MB to 320 KB
Layar drops from 2.76 to 1.06
Systempanel drops from 1.07 MB to 556 KB
etc

Well i don't know who you talked to at HTC, but there is nothig illegal and it is IMPOSSIBLE to break your phone with this.
It could only void warranty if HTC could prove it was not their fault.
Since this is just a system setting invented by google and exposed by google, and documented by google, made possible thanks to HTC's own sync program, it seems very unlikely that HTC can revoke their warranty.
Before they can do such a thing they have to prove that what you did broke the phone. I doubt that they can EVER make it stick.
They also said that rooting would void warranty. But that's no longer the case either !. rooting is legal !.

Well I have heard the other side of the coin as well. Even if I gave u a name of the person I spoked with (it was swedish support) it wouldn't give u any kind of clue at all. But he has spoken with HTC-technicians and they all said that if u root it or as much as change something in the cmd-prompt, it will be f-cked up and 2 year-warranty will be screwed. I talked with him today, maybe an hour ago and I doubt that he talked bs.
So if the day comes and u have to send ure phone for repair, I think they can see what u have done with ure phone. I'm just saying that this thing that u wrote and tell everyone, maybe u shall speak with HTC first and get their approval BEFORE u tell everyone here what to do? It's kind of risky u know.. I have paid 470 EUR for the phone in april, so what makes u think that I will root it or change something in cmd-prompt?
And btw, HTC did also told me that in the future all app-makers will make their apps for FroYo, wich means that in the upcomming future every app will be removable to the SD-card. Kind of stupid to rush things up, don't u think? But okay, it's ure phone do whatever u want...

Sorry but this is utter hogwash! As long as you haven't changed your HBOOT from what it was at the time you got your phone, and can find the ROM which takes your phone back to what it was, there is NO WAY HTC can tell you've done anything whatsoever. Apart from maybe use a SIM Unlock code (which I bought).

Don't know what country you are from. But I know here in holland we consumers do have rights. And I will always win if we went to court !
Furthermore i think the person you spoke with really doesn't know what he is talking about. This is not only a HTC issue but will work on any Froyo phone.... It's just part of the android OS.
If they would not allow it they could have taken it out. HTC froyo is not stock froyo. Some things are modified in the OS to make Sense behave like it does. They could have taken this out but they didn't.
Would be like toyota saying their warranty is lost if you drive with the boot open. Your statement and claims are utter NONSE.
That the person you spoke with doesn't like this setting is totally clear to me. Cause now they cannot sell that 'new phone exactly like the desire but this time with 8 GB internal memory allowing for enough apps to be installed' they were thinking of.

[DEV] importing wifi-direct to SGS I (DEVELOPERS ONLY)

hi
first of all this thread is only for developers.. and the files here are under development and not yet working
I search every where regarding wifi-direct
and i found 100% it is software issue, and the SGSI hardware is compatible to run this feature
then i started the journey on SGSII and I found all the files needed to run wifi direct
it is complicated a little bit to list all the files here
but i will when needed
i modify values (public,string,ids,layout)
layout
drawable
drawable-hdpi
androidmanifest
XML
and added smali files needed
then compile ,,,
when test on device the setting icon itself doesn't appear !
and i think it is an android-manifest issue !
so i decided after 3 weeks of hard working to share with developers to help in this issue so we may get the way to do it
the modded setting file is for JVR 2.3.4 ROM
and it is here
http://www.multiupload.com/VA5LELQF8P
so any help would be grait
juf..!

the good news that there are nothing important in framework.jar

Maybe you can work with zohawkish, he is doing a SGS2 rom port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032599

this is must be done be all developers together

what is wifi direct?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=WiFi+Direct

I'm sorry I am not a developer but I'm wondering why there is so little apparent enthusiasm for this thread?
I've been using the SGS2 for a couple of months now and Wifi Direct just blows me away. I only know one other person with an SGS2 but I can send him megabytes in the blink of an eye.
Samsung dropped the ball by advertising that the SGS had bluetooth 3.0 capability but neglecting to mention that Android doesn't support bluetooth 3.
For wifi direct a bluetooth chip and an N capable wifi chip are required and if I'm not wrong and the Galaxy S has both of these.
Developers should be absolutely striving to unlock the potential of wifi direct in this device. I don't even have an i9000 anymore but the thoughts of being able to do fast file transfers with my buddies who do is my motivation for bumping this post.
It would be a very worthwhile and rewarding achievement, not just for i9000 users but for anyone with a wifi direct device because the proliferation of wifi direct is essential in making it the exciting giant step forward it could and should be.
Thank you juffo for all your hard work in this area.

You should look here, wifi direct seems to be perfectly working on Galaxy S : http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/70131-tuto-le-wi-fi-direct-cest-possible/
EDIT : I forgot to mention, it's in french ^^

He is using an app though (Wifi Cast Lite) - maybe thats all thats needed?

this wont work between wifi cast & wifi direct
it will work only between devices that holds the same app

OH MY GOD,
i never use this line but i think wifi direct on the sgs would be a good time to use it ^^
this would be so awesome and it should definatly be investigated by all developers here ^^
i'm not a developer either but i want to bump this post because this should not be forgotten
all my thanks to the developers already trying to get this working
here is a link for "wifi cast lite" which ,however, emulates wifi direct or something like that ^^
tut for testing <bt and wlan has to be enabled> :
install wifi cast on two devices which are ready for wifi direct but dont open
then activate wifi ap on one of this devices
open wifi cast on this device and configure your ap
open wifi cast on the other device and login to the ap of the first device
now you can transfer big files -100mb+- in just some minutes ^^
this app was shown on ces 2011 and was developed by lg if i understood everything correctly
i also read that the sgs is the first wifi direct certified smartphone ^^
http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...irst-ever-smartphone-to-do-wi-fi-direct/?wap2
edit: definatly certified
http://certifications.wi-fi.org/pdf_certificate.php?cid=WFA8921
maybe this app helps to understand how it is done and how to get this implemented into a rom

I think there is a dedicated app for Wifi Direct on SGS II. Have you tried using that?
EDIT: I think Kernel Changes are required to get this to work.

I will try wifi cast lite later today and then i will report ^^

had no luck today because there wasn't the possibility to test it.
excuse this bump but i don't want to let this thread die ...

tested wifi cast today and wooooow, its awesome bluetooth with the speed of wlan ^^ tested between gt-i9000 and gt-i9100

[Q] noob in need of help with fonts and rooting

salutations, my name is tater and i am a noob . . i have been a t-mobile samsung galaxy note II owner for a little over a month now and i recently found out i have barely scratched the surface when it comes to all this phone is capable of doing . .
today, i was told i could "root" my phone . . what does it mean to "root" your phone? what are the pros and cons? is it worth it? and most importantly, how do you "root" a phone?
my second problem is with fonts . . i have mastered the factory installed fonts and how to use them to change the appearance of my phone HOWEVER, i purchased a few NEW fonts and now, i am unable to incorporate them into the apps i have installed . . i would LOVE to use my "phat boi" font onto some of my images in the gallery . . does anyone know HOW to do this or even WHAT apps out there that would allow me to do so?
ANY and ALL help is appreciated
please and thank you

All right. This one is gonna take time.
To 'root' your phone, is essentially claiming the administrator rights to your phone which your manufacturer has shied away from providing you. In other terms, you can 'install' custom firmware or mods on your phone, after rooting your device.
There are thousands of mods, ROMs and even market apps which can enhance your experiance of using an android phone, and which would only be available to you after you have rooted your device. The risks involved are minimal, specially if you consider the advantages. Due to comparatively recent updates in the field, one does not even loose his warranty.
The method you should take to root your phone depends on your firmware, and needs. I could go on for half an hour on that, but as the subject is already well talked about, just check out this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
The owner is a very senior, reputed member, and a humble genius. He will answer any queries you might have.
Once you are rooted, even though this sounds like a cliche, the world's your oyster. You can find many fonts available here, or download apps like the Rom toolbox etc for hundreds of good fonts.
Use points 2, 3 and 4 of the above mentioned thread to root your phone, reclaim your warranty, and download great apps for N7100 respectively.

For doodling etc, there are various other apps available -sketchbookmobil3, sketchpad, aviary, picssay etc. However I think all of them allows you to write the text only with the fonts package available within these apps. In anycase, once you share an item with a particular font, it woyld anyway only be available to others in the normal font as the font package you installed is basically for your device, for your eyes only. For example, even though I write this text with 'Comic' fonts, you wil only see it with whatever font you have installed.

S20 Compromised, Hidden Odin bootloader + Cloned apps and logs

So to start,
I'm not the typical "my girlfriends watching me" security hackz0r post.
I'm no expert or even close but I do have a general idea of what and how an Android should run.
I detected the device was playing up, slowing down, screen looking blurry. Odd icons in notification tray. But before I go into the things that I don't have data for.
What I do have data for and would appreciate input on is the following.
S20 Ultra Exy
Less than two weeks old
Cloned apps
Adjust system settings
Apps being given permissions and even admin rights.
I have tried to make sense of logs but it appears that the attacker is using a mixture of Dex, Java, Bluetooth and Odin in some remote access capability.
I have tried factory resets and the cloned apps which have been given there own emulated storage that I can't touch on the device.
An unlocked Odin Bootloader! (see pic) that's when I knew I needed more advice. From what I know once the Bootloader has tripped Knox and secure folder won't work.. SECURE folder appears to work..
Ive had apps go into desktop mode randomly..
Look I don't want to sound like that crazy tin foil hat guy, but It is becoming a trend in my trade. I've just listed some of the easily proved things.
I've uploaded logs and screens to the cloud and able to share with anyone who knows this stuff well.
Basically I've got an $1400 phone security marvel that appears to have been Bootloaded and maybe rooted remotely.
I have my suspicions at the office and I would like to try and trace the attackers location.
To be clear this device is no way associated with the infected.
That Bootloader was accessed just by going into the preload process I was planning on trying to wipe the cache and then saw it the Bootloading option and realised this is pretty serious...

This was stumbled upon as I accessed the safe load menu to try and clear the cache partion.
Who's up for a challenge?

whats the challenge? all that indicates is you pressed the buttons to enter dl mode?
meaning bl recovery mode set by key = you held buttons to enter download mode aka bootloader mode.. keys in this case mean the hardware keys i.e. vol buttons, power buttons are "keys"

Lol I was afraid I'd run into your kind...
Read the first post then get back to me buddy. Yeah great job on explaining the buttons I pressed during start up.....
I'm looking for someone who can identify the initial infection which has now been only stock wiped , and then remotely identify the person(s) and location of the initial attack. That person would need knowledge with Dex, Java, SSH, VPN and Tor....
So if you want to re read the first post, take it all in and realise I only showed you a Bootloader on my s20 ultra. Has this remotely deactivated the efuse or is it a well put together series Emulated system files either on my device or locally transmitted? (Data Transfer has been very unusual, last week)
Anyway bud if you can work it out I've got crypto ready
Atleast read the first post before commenting on a picture mate because you look a bit out of your depth now...

With that attitude, good luck getting any advice lmao

Hey, I only matched the attitude given to me! This forum is full of skilled Developers and I was hoping I explained and provided enough information and proof to separate me from the junk.
I was just lumped into the same category of everyone else... I realise there's a lot of... non white hats in here.
From what It looks like on the outside is I have been remotely attacked and bootloader installed. Im not sure if that's common knowledge? Seems like a game breaker. I literally cannot wipe my security s20 device of the infected system apps.
This is your domain, not mine. I wasnt going to back down to the stock standard response of these posts.
I know the device has been corrupted, fact. The pics prove it. Can anyone else get that on there 2 week old stock standard s20? I am still able to open SecureFolder also.
I don't know because information is hard to find. Feel free to PM me.
Thanks

You don't get help by "getting back" at someone who may have misinterpreted your question/problem, or looked at it from a different perspective. There are constructive ways to interact with others, and there are destructive ways to interact. You obviously haven't learned that life lesson yet.
Considering elliwigy has been a member since 2011 and is a recognized developer and retired moderator, I'll go out on a limb and say he probably has more experience with potentially corrupted/compromised devices than someone who joined xda this month.
Good luck with your phone.

See we must have very different views, because I see us all as equals. I was spoken down to and treated like everyone else. Honestly read the response and tell me how that was helpful at all to my post.
So if we are all equal I expect the same respect I give, I think the OP was well written, descriptive and provided proof.
You went out of your way to talk to me about life as if, because we disagree, I haven't learnt what you (better than me) have.
It's OK bud I've been on forums since forums were around I know the whole God complex some people get, Never understood.... so thanks for teaching me about life in Dev forum. I know its easy looking up methods and vunrabilities and infecting devices, and that makes you feel l337.
I think it'd be more l337 explaining to people how the **** a s20 has been compromised with a Bootloader while still having access to SecureFolder. Using some sort of Dex Module and Bluetooth module that have both been edited and converted to run in the system and remain hard to get.
So here ya go mate you want to teach me about life show me your qualifications, quickly explain how that would happen. Then once you've done that I'll thank you, apologise for being hasty under the circumstances and then compensate you what your worth.
Because right now it seems no one can explain or wants to explain (more likely) what has happened...
Anyway I apologise mate if you took it to heart, but I know what its like being the noob, during my research I saw a lot of short answers like I got and then they accept it and leave, I'm after a solution and would rather freelance than corporate. If this isn't the place to find the right Hat then let me know.
Here's a question to break it up
How long would something like this take to Analyize and discover first intrusion?

sounds like you need to odin flash OEM firmware, repartition and wipe
