Photo gallery

How I can organize picture in "Photo" gallery?

If you want separate albums: this can be done, but not from the Photo app itself.
For this you can best use an android File Manager, e.g. Astro.
First create a folder "Photos" inside /sdcard, and then one or more album folders inside Photos. Name them whatever you want!
Then use Astro to move files into the new folders. Go to /sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA and find them Then activate "Multi File"-mode using the Multi button. Next, select multiple files by short-pressing on them one by one, and when you are done choose Edit -> Move. Now navigate to the target folder, and do Edit -> Paste. Repeat for the next album!
You might also do this from your PC, with the phone connected as a USB drive. But I believe the Gallery app needs Image thumbnails to work, which ARE created when Astro does the moving, and which ARE NOT created when you use your PC + USB to move them.
Good luck with it!

how to set some folders to show

is there a way to organize folders for direct access in both gallery and music, so we can see some organized folders in image gallery, and have the option to add some folders to the playlist in music
is there a way to put images for wallpapers in the htc wallpaper preview?
or what is the simpliest way to add wallpaper from any folder?

If you wish to hide a folder from Android simply add a full stop (or a period - US) before the folder name.
E.g - Media --> .Media
If you don't want Android to scan a particular folder, add a file into that folder without an extension, called "nomedia".
E.g - nomedia.txt = Wrong
- nomedia = Correct

good tips but that's not what i want.
what i need is to make some new custom folders and put in there images and music, and let gallery see the images folders, and let music the new music folders, ex. if i paste images in images folder on sd card or in the dcim folder it will not read it, but making a new folder directly on the root sd card with some images will appear in gallery, is ther a way to make subfolders in images folder or any sd card folder appear in gallery and music player.
i want to browse in music player to a specific folder not let it scan what i have.

it seems as one of the weekest point in android, to have the option to browse folders for multimedia is not something easy by native.
i tried a lot of ways to let the device recognise or browse to folders with no success, in fact, music player may browse unfriendly to a specific folder, and gallery may recognize a custom folder on the sd card each time u reboot ur device, but it will not refresh any folders u add, edit or remove, unless u reboot, even force close gallery and then reopen will not do the trick. i tried even (3d gallery, flan, and 3d gallery v2) all have the same no refresh list unless reboot.
SOLUTION:
call it temp or workaround, but it did the trick for what i want and what others may want:
1-music folder (nice browser for music, some will not like the UI, but it's simply a music browser and do what it should do) no eq, no sound enhancement.
2-power amp (advanced music player with good folders support)
3-quickpic (image folder browser, that will do what gallery is intended to do, plus the ability to see all sdcard folders and refresh them at any change with no reboot) and even faster than any other gallery.
this is my experience and tests, please correct me if i'm wrong at any point.

Winamp For Android Playlist

Guys i have searched all over the forum, made a thread even, and googled and i couldnt find the location the playlists created in winamp are saved. do you guys have any idea where it is saved? please help me. im tired of constantly creating new playlists after updating my phone.

This is a guide/ suggestion I done for another forum. It may work on winamp too but I'm not sure
Occasionally I like to listen to music on my phone however there is so many songs I like and I was sick of manually creating play lists on my phone every time I flashed over to a new ROM. I had a quick squint on the web and found a neat little program that creates play lists for you so when you transfer the album or song folder onto your Galaxy S your music player automatically builds the play lists for you!
Here’s my quick guide
1. Download the Playlist Creator program here http://www.oddgravity.de/app-opc.php and install
2. Create a folder on your pc and name it anything you like. I call mine “Galaxy Music”
3. Drop the albums you want on your Galaxy into this folder
4. Open the album you want to create the playlist for then open your playlist creator program
5. Drag the folder into the playlist creator and then all your songs from that album will appear.
6. Choose the file path to save the new playlist
7. Enter the name of the album where it says “name and type” then use the drop arrow to select .m3u
8. Click “Create Playlist” Now your saved playlist will be in the same folder as your songs for that album
9. Once you have created all your playlists for the music your putting on your phone you can drag the complete folder together with the sub folders on to your external sd card
To drag the files on to your sd card
1. Touch Settings – Wireless and network – USB Settings – then put a dot in either 2Mass storage or Ask on connection”
2. Plug your USB cable into your phone and then touch “Mass Storage” then “Connect USB”
3. Locate your external sd card and then simply drag your files on to it and load up. Once loaded up your all done!
Now when you go in to your music player you can instantly touch “playlists” and then choose what album you want to listen to so there’s no need to scroll down your music list to find your favourite song anymore!

I am searching for this option about a long time, i didn't found any solution.Although i am not a programmer so i have no idea how to write an app for this.But i want to add all my downloaded videos to Zune directly from phone.So i just use some concepts and you know what i got,,,the solution.:
'First of all you have to need an unlock ROM with Nokia Bluetooth share app installed or rooted lumia...i am using hd7 and it's work for me.
Now what you do for adding video to Zune is Go to file manager copy your downloaded video and go to application data folder then looking for public folder,open it select the nokia folder then obex folder,,,after that you will see few folders select inbox folder and inside the folder just paste it.Now close it open Nokia Bluetooth share app,you will find your video is saving to Zune wait until video is saved.Now go to Zune you will see your video file under new file section or in videos...please if video file name is change after download please rename it before doing copy and paste otherwise it will save according to the file name it has.

Custom Ringtone

Hey What's up.
I cutted a scene from a Video (TS format), Duration 0:16 .
Then I converted it from TS to Mp3, Wav, MP4, MP4A
and transfered it to the phone. No matter what format I tried, the file doesn't open, can't change the default ringtone
because the phone does not detect it in Files Manager nor Music.
I tried to open the files followed download paths (where it stored on phone) I recieve Error(1). What to do?

Rebbot your phone, to allow the system to poll new files and list them properly, then use a file explorer (I recommend you use MiX File Explorer as it works best), and move the ringtone you've just made to this directory:
storage/emulated/MIUI/.ringtone/
(Or your internal storage directory) then open settings and it will appear quickly. Ringtones can me *.MP3, *.OGG, or even *.WAV I believe. The reason Music doesn't see it is because in the Music app, it filters out small files and short music so it doesn't clutter up if you have actual music there. Below is a screenshot of the default settings:
