The path for the thumbnails of the images located in the iPhone is: /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/.MISC/ (or instead of 100APPLE we have 101APPLE, 102APPLE etc).
If I want to pick these images directly from these folders, what is the best way to improvise a nice picker like the one for UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary?
I have already seen some attempts using UITableView and UIPickerView. Any other ideas?
Any recommended TUTORIAL?
what is the best way?
I really don't know so ideas still welcome.
Any other ideas?
Yes. Using a thumbnail scrollview.
Any recommended TUTORIAL?
Not a tutorial but even better, sample code. Using sample code from Apple Developer:
Autoscroll from ScrollViewSuite
I previously wrote "Your application runs in a sandbox. This means that directories like /private/var are not available to your application. It is therefore not possible to create a custom picker that looks directly in those folders."
This turns out not to be the case. I am totally surprised that iPhone applications do actually have access to most of the filesystem.

I have finished an online course in iOS development on Udemy and I'm ready to start developing my first (real) app.
My goal is to make a teleprompter app similar to: https://itunes.apple.com/dk/app/video-teleprompter-lite/id1031079244?mt=8
To start with, I would like to create just the moving text. I have looked at various concepts such as Core Animation, Text View, Segue from one view controller to another etc. But none of them seem to be able to display the moving text in the proper "teleprompter way".
I would really appreciate suggestions as to how to start/which relevant concepts to look at in this context.
Try reading up on UIDynamics, UIPushBehavior.

Iam sure this is a dumb questions, but I've been searching all over the place without knowing what exactly Iam looking for. Is there a way to efficiently create a "photofolder" like the one in the standard Photos.app. Facebook seems to have this built in.
I guess I could have "hacked" a way to do it eventually, but Iam concerned with memory and best-practices. I've added an image to illustrate my what I want:
(source: bhs4.com)
So to be short; I want the thumbnail/folder look. Any good guides/tips?
Edit: Iam going to get images the images from Instagram if that matters!
Apple appears to be using a UICollectionView to display the images in a 'thumbnail grid' fashion.
For more info, Google UICollectionView
There are some open-source posibilities to display a photo-browse view controller. Search on github. I have found https://github.com/kirbyt/KTPhotoBrowser, which seems to be exactly what you are looking for, but there are other similar alternatives as well.
Hope it helps!

Now I am making a Electronic album on iPad and I want to show the photos like this:
I have no idea where I can find this kind of control . Does any one know it or some places that I can find it? Really thanks!
We use iCarousel. I've posted a link to the author's github repository, since you seem to be having a problem going in via Cocoa Controls.
Check out this Carousel class: http://cocoacontrols.com/platforms/ios/controls/icarousel
You might try taking a look around cocoacontrols.com. Do a search for coverflow there. This one looks like it might be a good starting place: http://cocoacontrols.com/platforms/ios/controls/icarousel
https://github.com/devinross/tapkulibrary u can make a coverflow like feature with this library

I maintain an app for my business and am pretty much self-taught on code. I understand all of the structural code, and everything is perfectly usable. My problems is with the overall boringness of the looks. Everything is stock iOS from buttons to backgrounds to pinstripes on the list view. Does anyone have any guides or tutorials they used to take a stock iOS app's look to something like the Piictu app? (I'm not looking for something that impressive but in between that and stock iOS; and I'm open to a full app re-start.)
Almost all of controls can be customized with the view properties. and also there are lots of fully customized controls published with its source code.
With iOS5 there is a lot more scope now for customisation of UIKit elements. However, where this is not custom enough for your design then you would need to write your own controls rather than only using Apple'. There are a few good ADC videos on this.

I've looked hard and have been unable to find good websites that have aggregated custom controls that have been submitted by users to be shared with everyone. Does such a repository exist?
I would hope something like this existed considering that iPhone developers seem to be using similar custom controls. In particular, I'm trying to do folder-like tabs on the iPhone (similar to how it is done on websites).
Here's a fairly new site for custom iOS and Mac OS X controls, Cocoa Controls.

joe answered good.
Here are the sites from were you can find reusable components
1) http://cocoacontrols.com/
2) http://open.iphonedev.com/
3) http://cocoaobjects.com/
Here is the twitter account where you can find popular reusable components on github about iPhone or iPad
4) https://twitter.com/#!/github_objc
Are you looking for the graphic design elements like buttons and views? If so, check out the Teehan+Lax iPhone PSD file: http://www.teehanlax.com/blog/2009/06/18/iphone-gui-psd-30/
One source I just found is by Joe Hewitt who made the Facebook iPhone app. He has a bunch of custom stuff he's opened sourced.
