HTC Album - How to set as default on TyTN II?

[d3sm0nd]

Hey. I have a HTC Kaiser which doesn't have the HTC Album, it has an "Picutres & Video" app but I don't like it. I want to remove it and set the HTC Album as the default. SO that when I'm in Camera mode and click on Album:

it needs to open the HTC Album but how? I saw this:
"- to set album being default viewer go to HKLM - software - htc - htcalbum - default viewer set to "1""

and did it this way:

Then soft reseted the device and it didn't work... it opens the "Picture & Video" again. :(

Please help!

the camera uses the file pimg.exe, which is hard coded in the rom. to get the htc album instead, you'd have to make a copy of the htc album shortcut and htcalbum.exe and rename them pimg.exe and use something like resco explorer to overwrite the one in your windows directory

Can you explane me more, I'm new to Pocket PC stuff. :( Where can I find these files and shortcuts?

Does the "Album" button in your Camera actually open HTCAlbum? Mine still opens the MSapp. This is because it is hardcoded to point to pimg.exe and a new version hasn't been released for the rest of the phones.

What those registry-edits do (and say they do) is to change what is the default open-with program. Essentially, when you click on a .bmp in File Explorer (etc), it'll open with HTCAlbum, instead of the Picture Viewer.

The only way to get the buttons in camera to launch htc album is to make a copy of htc album and rename it to pimg as said. However, this is very buggy due to the way the camera launches htc album. When you click on those buttons that triggers pimg, htc album launches but bottom tray is broken, and you cannot access the "X" button. Clicking on task manager "X" button does nothing. Also, if you cannot go back to the camera, the camera will be running in the background, which causes a bunch of problems until you close the camera from memory management.

Yes, you're right. It doesn't open the HTC Album when I click the "Album" button in my Camera. I won't do this with the renaming.

Problem created.

WARNING following the last suggestion in that link, could result in a forced hard reset. My touch panel was set to 30xxx and i changed it to 400 like it said. Touch screen is dead, and to my knowledge theres no way to fix it on a sprint touch. I tried to use a third party app to control the phone but i cant even click okay let the app run without the touch screen. I can get into the registry and and stare at the 400 number using only hardware buttons. Its just staring at me, damnit i really dont want to hard reset i have alot of things set up just how i want them.

[oui oui]

The best solution is to install the new camera app from Nadavi... the shortcut goes directly to HTC camera album =)
