To answer your question: You may have missed it, but the name of the

Storage Card into Speicherkarte is valid since 1.66 ROMs. Before (and with

the 2.0x builds it is/was also in german "Storage Card". Hope this helps.

Edit: Hmm, sorry, just recognized that the one using it, uses it on 1.66 GER ?! OK, then I assume he hasn't realized yet, that his Storage Card i just a folder

within the main memory. But it would be an idea, to re-rename the "Speicherkarte" path in the registry to "Storage Card" again. This is possible in the registry.

Don't know the key yet out of my mind, but just search for "Speicherkarte" and you will find only a few keys which are possible. Then rename the string value

and softreset. Should work, but I do not take any responsibility, if not... Btw, this should also work for (all) other languages.

HTCAlbum Cache Patcher

I’ve made a batch file that patches your own HTCAlbum.exe and CameraAlbumService.dll. It also deals with the SD cards not named “Storage Card” It is far from ideal but that’s mostly because my knowledge is limited :D. I’m not a devver.

But you can give it a try if you want.

* Note. The following only works if your card name is written in ASCII characters. This means no Greek, Russian or any Asian kind of name. Even a character like ä is not allowed. Sorry guys.

Here’s what you should do.

1.	Unpack the attachment anywhere on your PC.

2.	Copy HTCAlbum.exe from your device with an app as Resco Explorer or Total Commander into the directory you just unpacked on your PC.

3a.	Here’s the annoying thing, you can’t copy CameraAlbumService.dll directly from your device. So there are a few versions of that file in the attachment below. Copy the version that’s currently on your device to het directory created before. If you’re not sure which one to use, don’t worry. If you encounter problems in Album you can always uninstall the cab.

3b.	Another way to get the right CameraAlbumService.dll is to extract it from the downloaded ROM you flashed to your device. Easiest way to do this is to use htcRIE. This will not always work.

3c.	A third way is to download one of the Manila packages floating around. The file is in Manila_Photo.

4.	Run HTCAlbum_patcher.exe.

5.	You will have to enter the name of your SD card manually. Storage Card is Default, if you enter without input, the cache path will go there.

6.	You should end up with an installable cabfile (4tune Patched HTCAlbum.cab), to be installed on your device. Please report any errors.

I do not expect it to work flawless, but if a few ppl are helped I’m happy :)

Hi 4Tune,

First - It works fine with my 1.66 Rom, thank you.

BUT :

On my device exists the HTCAlbum.exe from the first HTCAlbum CacheMod.cab

If i put this file in the folder and start the patch, this stop with a message that this file already was patched !

So i extract the HTCAlbum.exe from my ROM file put this in to the folder and start the patch -> works fine.

Thank u very much for this great Mod

Hello,

Is it possible to add to HTC Album additional option "send via bluetooth" ?

It is not convenient when I show photos to my friends and when they ask me to send one I need to switch in other application, then find that photo and only then I can send... too much not needed action. :(

Hi 4tune,

thanks for your patch!

I want to report you my experience:

I have the axlor v6.1 rom, based on 2.07 TMOUS rom (italian version, not wwe)

(you can see all specs of this rom in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=610187)

I used your patch with the 2.07 version of CameraAlbumService.dll (that you gave us, included in the patcher pack).

The batch file said me that, by installing the created cab, the Album Cache should be set to \Storage Card\AlbumCache\123456789876 folder....

I've cleaned the original cache folder of HTCAlbum, installed sdkcerts, then I've installed the created cab, done a soft-reset, opened HTCAlbum and browsed some photos....but no new cache dir was created in the path indicated (and in no other place at a first sight...:eek:)

I controlled the original cache dir, but it's still empty...

The manila photo tab does work well, and so it does HTCAlbum...but I can't find any cache dir...

@ 4tune

thanks for your reply....

yes, i've searched with resco explorer the term *album* in whole device:

just 2 folders found...

the original one (HTC ALBUM) in \Application Data\HTC\

and a folder related to your cab in \Windows\AppMgr\ folder (but into this folder there's just one file named 1000.tmp which is only 1kb)

In the HTCA folder in \Storage Card\My Documents (which I used with my previous official italian rom) there is the subfolder cache, but even it is empty

I don't know...yes, it seems strange...

This mod works great but it breaks the album slightly, it stops the album going into landscape mode when tilting the phone, removing this mod fixes it.

I was testing it with Duttys newest 2.1 ROM, will try reflashing again and see what happens.

Works great on Duttys 1.3 though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radeon123:
After a ROM reflash and hard reset after, I installed the HTC Mod, again, it works great and removes the cache from the internal memory but still breaks the auto landscape mode when tilted.

Could be something Dutty upgraded to in v2.1 to that might have broken the mod :(

Edit - Fixed the problem, even though I was using Duttys 2.1 WWE ROM based on 1.71, the CameraAlbumService.dll was from 2.02, noticed by looking at the file size in the Windows folder, used this version and now everything works perfectly and it tilts automatically :D

Hi 4Tune,

I know I asked this before but I see that there have been a few cache mods since and I'm a little confused. I'm on Duttys v0.5 rom and your original cache mod was crashing album/weather etc... Do these new cache mods (on page 6 etc..) allow me to use this app on my custom rom or not and/or do I need t do anything myself? Let me know as I can't wait to re-install it but don't want to crash my device again!

Thanks

**EDIT** My mistake, I've seen the patcher and extracted the 2 files I need from the windows folder. I'll patch them now and try and install the created cab. Hopefully it will work on Dutty 0.5 fingers crossed!

+1 4tune!

I can patch and install your .cab just fine.

But I also have trouble locating the new cache, but I suspect it isn't created due to a differing version of CameraAlbumService.dll that should be on my device? I am using the stock Telstra rom (because i'm an aussie on Telstra!) which is version 1.49.841.1 and I notice that none of your included files have the same filesize. My CameraAlbumService.dll size is 549284 bytes, created/modified/accessed all on 20/10/2009 at 10:55am.

Perhaps this is my problem? When it tries to use an incorrect version of the .dll it doesn't actually create the cache at all?

I removed your .cab and rebooted and cache is back in it's default location.

I also noticed that even though I had 21mb in the Album Cache folder, I only got back about 10mb or less after deleting the files and rebooting?

Thanks for your efforts too!!

No cache files

:confused:

I follow the steps as you described and it worked for me. However, the same issue; no cache files any longer; not in Storage neither on Storage Card. I have looked for them on the whole machine and no track of them. The nice thing is that all works for me as expected. I see the little pictures when openning the Albums as they would have been cached somewhere, but the storage, the storage card and the program memory do not change whatever number of pictures I scroll down and up. It looks like the cache is keep in any share resource that is not visible on a normal operation. I can guarantee that somewhere it is kept, because the scrolling is slow right after a softrestart, and then, it keeps on going fast until next reset. Apart of the curiosity on where the hell the cache has gone, I am happy as my available storage size changed from 60 MB to 115 MB without any direct impact (unless noticiable) on the phone performance. (tested on TP2 ROM 2.07.401 with Manila 2.5.2012 using the DLL from folder 2.07 + 2.09) :)

I will appreciate a lot to get into the WHY of all above, but I already appreciate very much your work. ;)

Hello,

I have seen a great deal of posts on the improvement of the Weather display / animation. Even some complaining about or applauding its functionality. Oddly though I have not seen any that ask if it can be removed entirely.

I know this is personal choice but for me I don't want any weather to be displayed at all. Can this be achieved?

Cheers.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Do you mean the wallpaper animation, or the animation on the clock?
[HD2 General] rphillip:
On the clock.I would really prefer no weather at all on my home screen.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Fair enough. I know how to remove the animated wallpaper, but not the bit on the clock.

I'm sure someone on here must be able to help you though.
[HD2 General] arturobandini:
To disable weather animation.

1 - go to HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila

and change "HomeWallpaperMode" from "0" to "2" you will end up having your static wallpaper but without weather animation.

or

2 - just select animation wallpaper and choose one of your static ones.and that is it! :-)

Neither work. The registry change you mentioned is already set to 2. Actually I did that earlier whilst trying to find a solution. Whatever wallpaper I choose I still see the weather.

[HD2 General] Beefheart:
I noticed that too. I suspect they're connected and it's unavoidable.
[HD2 General] ranster:
I do it in a different way. I dont like the bugie effect of disabling the weather DLL.

You can disable "my location" and choose my location as your default clock.

When you update the weather, it will not be updated for "my location" and in this way you get a cleaner home screen.

Whenever you want, you can choose your favorite location and get the weather info for it.
[HD2 General] rphillip:
I really do not understand ranster. I have "my location" set in the world clock. By saying "disable my location" you mean go to settings/location and turn off "Location Service Settings" and "Programs the Use Location Service"?

If yes then all this was already done. The only effective way to remove the waether in its entirelty is the dll rename but we already know this has bugs. Perhaps you can elaborate if my understanding is incorrect please?
[HD2 General] ranster:
By saying "disable my location" I meant installing the "disable current location.cab".

It's very simple. after disabling it, weather information will not be updated for "my location".

If it was already been updated, wait few days for the weather info to expire. By that time you will have a weather free animation when choosing "my location" in "World Clock".

hope it was more clear this time :)
[HD2 General] rphillip:
Sorry to labour the point but it is not the animation I want to get rid of. It is the entire function. I want to purge the weather in its entirety from my HD2! The nearest thing to that at the mo is to rename the dll mentioned earlier.
[HD2 General] ranster:
So just disable the weather tab.
[HD2 General] rphillip:
:) done that too.
[HD2 General] rphillip:
Sorry to drag this one back up but I just found out that renaming the afore mentioned dll not only breaks wold clock but calander too.

[HD2 General] enzyme:
At least it is finally good to know there are others with my same preference. I just want the animations on the home screen, the image and temperature can go, thats what the weather tab is for.

By renaming that DLL or installing that cab, will I also lose the animations that cover the whole homepage? like the raindrops, windshield wipers, clouds etc.
[HD2 General] pirogof:
yeah i want to remove the animation and the little picture too. i don't care about the temperature. actually the main problem is that they integrated the weather feature into the home tab and didn't bother making any settings for it. There is a weather tab dammit, why is it stuck on the home tab as well? This is just the typical HTC moronity like not being able to use mp3 for alarm tone. what am i supposed to do - use 50MB wav instead on 150mb free memory? (this is a solved issue).
[HD2 General] zakpc klooier:
empty weather info.

Disable auto weather update and uncheck weather tab after 5 days no weather update the weather info is empty.
