Organise your pictures into albums

to find your photos both in the Photos app and in your smartphone'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 smartphone to one of these albums
or to an album you create. To create and assign pictures to albums, you
must put your smartphone 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 smartphone, you may also be able to use
solutions available from third-party software developers (sold separately) that
facilitate the transfer of media files to your smartphone. For more information
about the availability of third-party solutions, open the browser on your
computer and go to hpwebos.com/sync-solutions.
