Missing Storage Card folder - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

Has anyone experience this? In the Camera option where I get to choose which folder to save pictures to, the drop down menu only offers "Main memory" and "Ext Rom2". The Storage Card doesn't show up. I know about the dopod and missing SD card issue, but my file explorer is able to recognize there's a storage card in place. I tried soft reseting, but the option still doesn't show up. Anyone experienced this before or can offer a possible solution? Better yet, does anyone know of a way to "relock" the Ext Rom2 folder? Now that I extracted the rom files, I don't really need to have this folder unlocked since it doesn't allow me to write to it, so it's just sitting there taking up space. Now I think it may be causing problems and may have something to do with the missing "Storage Card" option in the drop down menu.

Try this reg hack
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image\Saveto
Change 0 to 1
Must soft reset.

Thanks sas. I haven't tried your hack, but I managed to find a hack to re-lock the Ext Rom folder. Now the camera option allows me to save in the Storage card again. I guess the camera could only see 2 folders, so it just omitted the Storage Card while Ext Rom was around.

Storage Card2....Why?

Is it me, or can this forum be a bit hard to search? (using "" or AND doesn't work??) I KNOW I've seen more than one topic on this but I cant find it for the life of me and I'm not getting refined results.
Just encountered that problem where the Wizard suddenly makes a new Storage Card folder and renames the original one "Storage Card2". The new folder has 2 folders to hold mail attachments and a folder for PIE History.
I can see and use all for the files on the Storage Card2 (all of my movies and music and what not) but the associated programs are now looking for them in the new Storage Card folder.
How can I revert this? I can't delete the new and rename the original with the device docked. Getting sharing violation errors..
Anyone have this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Ok so I fixed it....
I took out my SD card.
From File Explorer on the device, I was able to rename the "Storage Card" that was on the Device to "Old". If you now try to delete it, you'll still get a cannot delete Index error.
I did a soft reset and was then able to delete the "Old" folder. I got "system fil" warnings, but it allowed me to delete the whole folder.
I then inserted my SD card, which immediately showed up as "Storage Card", the way it's supposed to.
My programs are now looking for their files on "Storage Card" and finding them there.
If anyone knows why this happens, feel free to pitch in....
I found that this occurred with me if I did any hacks to put internet explorer temp files, Omega One's Journal Bar files or email attachments to the storage card. I expect is was one of the first two that does it on start up and it was rather upsetting at first until you firgure out what to do about it. I've since unapplied those hacks and it hasn't happened again.

How To Install Themes

I've read the Wiki and still can't find it. How do I install themes on my Wizard?
copy the .tsk files into your windows directory.
you mean .tsk?
Copy them to /my documents, and go to /start menu/settings/today, then choose your theme.
I kept getting a message about disc being write protected. Remove protection or use another disc. Any idea what that means? Also do I save them to the phone or to memory card?

Anybody got anything on this?
I said save it to \windows which obviously is on your phone not on the mem card. As for that "write protected" stuff i don't know what to think of it man.
open "my computer", double click on "my mobile device", navigate to windows, copy/paste your themes to windows directory and they will appear in the today theme menu. if you still don't undersatnd then i give up./
You can copy the theme files also to SD card either directly in the main SD card folder or in a folder which does not go deeper than 1 level (meaning: Storage card\Themes\ ) This keeps your precious internal memory free for other things!
I UNDERSTAND what you said and that is what I did. That message is what I got when I did that. I tried it on the phone and the card. Thanks anyway though. Themes are overrated anyway I'm not stopping till I brick this thing!!!!!!
If you copy them on to your SD card, don't put them in any file on there. Put them straight on to "\storage card". The question I have is are you getting the write protected error on your phone or on your computer and if you're getting that error on your computer end can you copy any other files over to your storage card? I was thinking that maybe you accidentally write protected your storage card.

Camera Problem

Just somewhere this last weekend, my TyTn refused to store images taken with the camera on/to the storagecard. I cannot select the storagecard thru the capture-settings.
The storage-card is accesible thru the explorer without any trouble.
Very strange. Have searched the forum, but cannot find a solution, my ext. Rom is hidden. So, anyone experienced the same problem.
I do run Schaps 3.54c

When in the camera application what two locations does it offer you as save locations?
Did you enable the Network Folder? If so see here:
Usually the camera only asks about storage card when you have just inserted a new card OR you have the "network" folder enabled.
Now unfortunately the camera is only capable of saving to one of two locations at any one time so:
If the view network folder is NOT enabled you will be offered:
"Main" or Storage card" and once set it will remember your choice and not ask again.
BUT
with Network folder enabled and a storage card inserted you will:
be asked if you want to use "StorageCard" every time you start Camera, but in camera tools you will only be offered "Main" or "Network" even if you chose the card. It will not set to storage card even if you said you wanted this when camera started.
So, if you want to use main memory with a storage card inserted and don't want the silly question about using storage card each time, then you must disable the network folder. (Use Resco or File Commander to do this - forget now if regukar File Explorer does it)
Equally if you want to save to storage card you will also need "network" folder disabled otherwise it will save to Main memory even when you say yes to Storage Card on start up of application.
The default setting for the Network folder is disabled, so if you are having problems it is likely to have been enabled by using the likes of Resco or Total Commander.

Thanks Mike Channon...it worked very well !!!

Help Getting Rid of Storage Card and Storage Card 2

Friends,
I have searched through the threads and WIKI to try to find a way to get rid of the problem where when you are running programs from your storage card and use more than one, somehow the device starts to register the primary storage card as being on the device, and then treats the actual storage card as Storage Card 2. It's a big problem for me because now none of my programs from the storage card will run from what has now been relabelled "Storage Card 2" on the device. It seems to have something to do with the way the Microsoft programs automatically store to a card for Email and Internet explorer cookies.
I found the following procedure in the WIKI and tried to follow it, but I'm obviously not doing it right. It would probably be very helpful if I understood registry editing better, but I'm not sure what the exact pathnames are that I should follow to make the changes and follow the procedure below. Someone with more computer background would probably "just know." Specifically, how do I get to the IEM that is referred to below?
I would really be grateful if somehow who gets this could patiently explain exactly how to get into the right area of the registry. I don't want to screw up my device.
Thanks.
Phil Butin
Here are the instructions. I just need help being told how to find the IEM reg hack location referred to below, so I know what to change to "test."
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you are seeing Storage Card and Storage Card2 in your File Explorer, follow these steps to fix the problem:
1. Went into Messages-Menu-Tools-Options-Storage and unclicked 'Store attachments on storage card'.
2. Opened a Total Commander (or any other ?RegEdit Tool) and changed the IEM reg hack entires. In the cookies, cookies and history keys, I changed 'Storage Card' to 'test'.
3. Opened IE so that 'test' will be created in the root directory of the Mobile Device.
4. Soft reset.
5. Opened file explorer and deleted Storage Card from the root directory of the Mobile Device.
6. Soft reset. When rebooted, Storage Card 2 should be Storage Card.
7. Opened a Total Commander (or any other ?RegEdit Tool) and changed the IEM reg hack entires. In the cookies, cookies and history keys, I changed 'test' back to 'Storage Card'.
8. Deleted the IEM folder from Storage Card. (Didn't know if this was necessary but felt that it couldn't hurt).
9. Opened IE to create IEM on Storage Card.
10. Soft rest.
11. Deleted 'Test' from the root directory of the Mobile Device.
12. Performed the Reg Hack in this thread.
13. Sent the message attachments back to Storage Card.[/i][/i][/i]
easier Way to do this
Folks,
I found an easier way to do this. You can simply rename the "Storage Card" file in Internet Explorer and the device will then read the real storage card as "Storage Card" instead of "Storage Card 2." Of course, I am now stuck with a folder named "test" that I can't delete because it has a bunch of "index" system files in it. But so far, this seems like it fixed my major frustration.
If anyone wants to talk me through how to delete the new "test" file to get rid of the indexes, I would welcome that.
Thanks.

Storage card always renamed Storage card 2

Hello everyone,
I'm using French Sunrise rom from Miammiam, posted also on this forum.
And since the last version 2.1 my storage card is always renamed storage card 2 after a soft reset.
I never had this problem with my previous rom Sunrise 1.4, didn't have this problem, but I already encounter this issue on some other rom like Leo rom's, and miri's.
I already tried everything I found on this forum or using google.
As informations I didn't change IE cache path, I'm just storing my emails on the storage card.
I hope some one can help me.
Best regards,

I think that you have a hiden folder called "Storage card" on the root of your device.
rename this folder o delete it then every thing will be right.
Hello,
Thank's for your answer but Event if I delete the newly created folder then soft reset the phone, it change nothing my storage card is again named "Storage card 2".
There is no hidden folder, on the root of my phone I checked it with total commander.
On the other hand after deleting the newly created foler called "storage card" then ejecting my sd card and inserting back the card is again called " Sorage card" but after a soft reset it's again called "storage card 2".
In anyway thank you for your reply.

Try using Resco File Explorer and define there that you want to see hidden (system) files. You may locate an original directory with that name.
I had this problem twice. I my case this problem was probably due to starting up TomTom when connected by USB with my computer.
hey if it aint broke dont fix it...
