Organize your pictures into albums
The Photos app organizes the pictures you take or add to your phone into
predefined albums. The following table tells you where to find your photos
both in the Photos app and in your phone's USB Drive storage.

You can use any photo in any album in Photos as wallpaper (see
picture as
wallpaper). The photo does not have to be in the Wallpapers
album.
You can assign any pictures on your phone to one of these albums or to an
album you create. To create and assign pictures to albums, you must put
your phone into USB Drive mode. You then create the albums and move
pictures into them using your computer.
TIP
Besides using USB Drive mode to copy your photos, videos, and DRM-free
music from your computer to your phone, you can also use solutions available from
third-party software developers (sold separately) that facilitate the transfer of
media files to your phone. For more information, open the browser on your
computer and go to palm.com/sync-solutions.
