that works if i go to program folder and select album....
but i usually go to programs folder and select pictures and videos....
i just think that program gives u more options to do with pictures ... editing and so forth...
there are two ways to look at pictures... through album program or pictures and video program..... not sure why there are two..? the album program i guess is more finger friendly and doesn't show u videos
i was trying to get 100media folder the default folder opened for pictures and video program... i did the steps u stated above but that only seems to work for album program
sorry, misunderstood you. I use resco photo to do all the extras with my photos, it is much more user friendly than the default. You can set it to open on any folder or even last used folder. As for the pictures and video, I'm not sure. I would'nt mind a similar reg hack for the default file explorer. good luck
I upgraded to Froyo yesterday and was sad to see that the native wallpaper selector for the streak was gone. You now have to crop your image and lose some of it in landscape mode. I happen to fool around with a couple of apps and have found a solution. You need to have ADW Launcher and WallSwitch, both available in the market for free. In ADW Launcher you can choose how the screen display is used. Check the function to disable wallpaper scrolling between screens, this will keep the image centered when you scroll left or right. That's pretty much it for that app. Next, in WallSwitch, make sure your settings are set to auto for Processing Method. That's it!! You can choose to have your wallpapers change automatically, and at different intervals if you like, just an added bonus if you like to have something different displayed frequently, or just turn off auto-switch to keep the same image all of the time.
oh! I almost forgot... very important... in order for your image to show up full screen with these settings, you need to have your image file resolution set at 800x378. I know it sounds weird, but after much fiddling, I have found that it is the perfect size so the app will auto crop and make the image full screen.
Hope this is of help to anyone who would like to try it.
actually 960X800 is the size I use and it fits perfectly....

How are you getting it to go full screen using the stock selector? I can only select a portion of the picture?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I think I've figured this out, the stock selector selects images that are 960x800 (well of that ratio anyways) but when in landscape mode, you only see the top half of the image, thats because the stock selector is catering for both landscape and portrait, so if you turn your phone to portrait mode, then you'll see the whole picture (plus swiping to the sides).
While it is in landscape mode, it is only displaying an image that is 960x480 (if using an image that is 960x800), so if you create a wallpaper that is 960x800, but then have the main image of what you want in the top of the image that is about 960x480, then when on the phone, you select the whole image, you have the main part of the image appear in full in landscape mode.
Example, see the image attached, the area in the box and above the coloured line is what will appear on the phone in landscape mode....however when you turn it in portrait mode, for this picture, you have a white strip across the bottom. Hope this helps people.
The question is, is there anyway of getting the UI to show the bottom half of the image instead of the top? (Using Launcher Pro Plus)
I have more decent images with something that is along the bottom that I do that is along the top if you know what I mean.
Thought I'd Share
Thought I'd share my current wallpaper, managed to find these two images that has most detail along the top half of the image (bar the Aston, I had to mod it slightly ). Again, these are 960x800 images but I've made sure that the main part of the image is within the 960x480 of the image. Oh and for some reason, when the phone is locked or in the clock dock mode, the wallpaper shifts to the middle of the image too, proper weird!
Download JustPictures app from the market, it lets you set the wallpaper without any cropping, i am official froyo and its working perfect and so far I am able to set any picture as my full screen wallpaper, hope that helps....

Just tried this app and I'm still stuck with the square crop box, is there anything in particular you are doing to change this? I find the picture I want, press the menu button, then choose "use picture as..." then "set as wallpaper" and then I have a crop box appear.

Getting the same thing, it still crops it.
Very nice download! Thanks for sharing!
I feel really stupid for asking this, but I have forgotten how to set images as wallpaper. I tried through the stock gallery app, but that only lets you set half of the image as the wallpaper. I've done it before, but for the life of me I can't remember how.
you can try a different gallery app. I use fishbowl and that works good just select the picture press menu, set as, wallpaper then whichever scale you want
You could also long press on an empty spot on your home screen, select wallpapers, then gallery.

Yes thank you, that was what I was thinking of!
Hi All!
I installed a new ROM with ICS 4, this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612140 but, I having some problems with QuickPic. Multitouch for zoom photo don't work, when i try to enlarge a photo, quickpic zoomed it to max.
I wanted to point it in the right topic but i can't (10 post needed), so I reported here.
Anyone have a solution or alternative software!?
PS: With ES file Manager Gallery multitouch working fine!
I have a problem with Quickpic too - when I try to assign a picture to a contact - when you pick a picture, choose 'set as' and then try and assign a picture to a contact it just doesn't work. The picture to be assigned opens up with the margins to be set (edit mode), fades away for an instant and then comes back. When you set the margins and click the floppy disc icon (in the top right hand corner) to 'save' the picture the screen goes black and you have to exit the program. I'm fairly sure that this feature used to work fine up until recently. I've even gone as far as to do a factory reset on my phone, reflash my phone's ROM and reinstall the QuickPic app. No change though, I still can't set a contact picture.
Can anyone help? My phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray.
I use a photo album to store pictures of documents that I can't get a pdf of for work, so I'd like quicker access to it.
Is there a way to pin it to the screen when I immediately unlock it, then I can store it in my work folder
thank you

Go to files, select folder your photos are in, select 3 dots, create shortcut on home screen.
