One of the on-screen icons when viewing an image in Gallery is "<3 Favourite". Can anyone tell me how/where this is stored?
A load of my favourites have disappeared (the marking, not the image itself), and I use the favourites tag to populate my Covers (screensaver) image.
I recently upgraded my SD card from 64GB to 200GB and whilst the number of files transferred was equal to the number on the original, I'm wondering if the information was stored on the SD card (although I think it more likely on the phone itself) and lost during the transfer. I have the old SD card still and would like to restore if possible. Thanks.
Have also lost my Music favourites. 36 views and no response. Anyone?
Maybe is a stupid thing, but some people might miss it.
Have you searched in the old SD card for the typical folders/files that start with a "dot", and that are hidden?

when i just got a 4 gb card for my Tilt, i noticed that it automaitcally made a my documents folder after i took a couple pictures and had it automatically store them on my card, now when i go to my documents it only show what's in my documents that was saved to the device not what's saved in the card, i have to go to file explorer/storage card/my documents to look at what's on the card, so basically i have to different my documents i have to navigate two, is there a way to fix this so i only have to go to what's on the card, and will i have this probem for any other folders and/or programs were i have to look between the device and card?

1, please use punctuation so that your post is much easier to grasp
2, that is, basically, you want to configure the camera to store its pictures in \My Documents on the card and not in the default \DCIM? The solution is very simple and, actually, I have linked it before (see the Wiki - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...e software & hacking news (11-17-2007) & tips ): http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-K...4/HOW-TO-Make-the-Camera-save-to-My-Pictures/
I think i may have phrased that wrong. Basically I have "My Documents" in two places on my Tilt. One in the device memory and one in the storage card. I didn't create either of them, the one in the storage card was created automatically after i took a pic and it gave me an option were i want to save the pic to (device or storage card) I selected storage card and that's were the second "my documents" file was created. I'd like the 2nd 'my documents" folder to be the main one, so can i just delete the folder in the device storage? One thing I noticed if i got to settngs/menus and see what options i want to put on the start menu, i only have the option of the "my documents" under the device storage, not the sd card "my documents" which is the one i want to use.
Perhaps a stupid question but ...
If you swap from one SD to another it usually shows the first one ever used as StorageCard and the second one as StorageCard2 (guess something like a digital signature like other OS's do) and so on.
So far so good but the registry has links only to installed programs to "StorageCard". Is there a way to either CHANGE the name of additional storage cards that it remains "StorageCard" or an easy way to change ALL setting in the reg at once.
Sure, premises are that all programs exist on each SD card in the right directory structure.
try to use pocket mechanic to flag properties of old and new card
i have no experience just a suggestion

I recently had a problem that may help you out... For some unknown reason, my one and only "StorageCard" suddenly became "StorageCard2". So, I had a "StorageCard" directory that was empty and all my stuff in "StorageCard2".
Long story short, I removed the card, did a soft reset, deleted the "StorageCard" directory with File Explorer, powered off the Tilt, inserted the card and powered it back up. After all that, I had my "StorageCard" back.
Unless there's a script or utility floating around here, you may have to go thru a similar procedure when you want to swap cards.
Note that the "Phantom Storage Card" problem often comes from saving mail attachments to the storage card or having other applications write data to the card while running. The phone cannot release the card when it's removed (no "safely remove" option a la desktop windows), so you end up with a directory in main memory.
If you're encountering this problem frequently and have room in main memory, disabling those options and storing things in main memory often avoids the problem altogether.

Thanks... I thought my problem was related to mail. When it happened to me, the only thing in my "StorageCard" directory was mail. I suspect that I had done a soft reset and my Tilt processed some incoming mail (Exchange) before the storage card was ready to go.
Hello all,
It was suggested to me to post this question here.
I am looking for a way to basically poing any and all possible to the storage card. I think I remember a couple years back finding one for my Hermes here at XDA-Developers.com but now I can't seem to locate it??
I would like it if someone knows how to or an app to do this if they could let me know. I think I remember the other one being a .cab that directed everything to the card.
Does this make sense to anyone?
PS: I know on the camera app you can select the device or the card.
Make it little clear
do you want to receive files(say songs etc) through bluetooth and get them stored in memory card and want to place inbox in memory card ?

Well what I was thinking was I would like any and all files to be stored on the card.
For instance, when active-sync creates a short cut on the desktop (pc) for files to be sync'd there is a list of folders... If I click "Explore" in AS it opens to files on my device. Now if I follow it correctly, all the files in the (pc) desktop shortcut leads to the folders in the "My Docs" on the device.
The last sentenance is what I would like to change, I would like for any and all files besides apps or system files to be stored on the card.
Meaning, no "My docs" on the device memory, just the card.
Is there a way in the registry or something else to change the path for said folders to be redirected to the memory card?
I don't think there is an app that will do this
SKTools has a "move file" option that says it will move the file and update information in the registry, but its not clear if this applies to folders
Now, you could try using a registry editor with find-replace to find all instances of "/My Documents" and change it to something like "/Storage Card/My Documents", then soft reset and see if that works -- I can't seem to find a registry editor that does find and replace like this -- anyone?
Advanced Config Tool (attached) will allow you to specify default locations for directories.
Im trying to upgrade my 2GB standard card to a new 8GB i bought
The problem is, no matter how i transfer - simple drop and drag or a back up program - it always mucks up the order of my photos.
I know this doesn't seem important but its really annoying.
I've tried renaming them so they are the right order in name but the dam phone uses a mysterious newest/oldest tag i can't do anything with
Does any one have a solution or any advice on this?
P.S. some of my photos are pre-cupcake and thus have a different naming system, dunno if anything else is different
It's just something you have to deal with.
The easiest way would be to clone your fat32 partition to the new SD and than resize it.

How would i go about doing that?
i believe in the android code, it is sorted by order added. may be wrong but that's been my experience
Gang,
I believe I've found a thread that describes a problem similar to mine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552826
It talked about the camera folder messing up. But in that thread, at least they can still see the files, but having the wrong file sizes. Mine just vanishes.
Here is what I'm experiencing right now. I took about 10 pictures sequentially, was able to view them via Resco Photo Viewer (This has been my pic viewer ever since). Then after a few days when I wanted to show them to a friend, the contents in my \DCIM\100XPRIA\ folder in the SD card were all wiped out clean! Another thing I noticed is that every time I go into this folder, it takes a while before I get control of my phone again (around 10 seconds after), after that, it shows me nothing. I tried taking pictures again, the camera app was complaining about not being able to take the picture. The next thing I did was to rename the DCIM folder to "DCIM Temp", then created another DCIM folder. I was able to take pictures again, and guess what, all the missing pictures reappeared in "DCIM Temp"! I was able to open the pictures again. But again after a few days, the new pictures in DCIM\100XPRIA have gone missing. I tried the folder renaming technique again but it didn't work anymore. I couldn't take pictures again. The next thing I did was to change the "Save To" option of the Camera App to save to phone instead of memory card. I was able to take pictures, was able to open the pictures via Resco Photo Viewer, but then when I transferred the pictures to the SD card, again I couldn't open the picture. I was thinking it might be a faulty SD card, but how come only pictures that were taken by the X1 camera have this problem? All of my documents can be opened, pictures from other sources can also be opened, videos etc. Only the X1 camera pictures have multiple problems (either vanishing or can't be opened).
I currently have an R3A ROM, with a 16GB Sandisk micro SD card. I never take the SD card out, I always use the supplied USB cable to connect the X1 to my computer as a flash drive. I first noticed this problem when I still had R2A. But I never thought of it as a camera problem, because I just thought the SD card got corrupted when one time I pulled the USB cable from my PC too quickly, and got that "delayed write failure" balloon message from Vista. The symptoms I've experienced that time was the phone being unresponsive for 10secs when I try to go into some folders (like the DCIM folder I have explained at the start of this post). That prompted me to reformat the SD card and took the opportunity to upgrade to R3A. Right now when I step back and try to remember those affected folders in the SD Card (when still in R2A), I seem to recall all of them having at least 1 file that came from the camera app, like:
\DCIM\100XPRIA
\My Documents\My Pictures\Family
\My Documents\My Pictures\Gadgets
.
.
All the pictures the camera took go straight to \DCIM\100XPRIA, I then rename some of them and transfer to these other folders.
Does the X1 camera app have problems creating its output files? If yes, is there a patch or 'new' ROM I can install to get rid of this problem? I really hope someone can help me.
Thanks for your time.
Any takers? I hope somebody has experienced this problem and can guide me through, thanks!
I haven't heard or experienced this problem yet. I think you should try formatting the card again after you backup. Then before reloading the files, test to see if the same thing happens to your pictures.
