I have chompsms and I completely forgot what client I set to view pics with but when I look at pics that someone sends me mms they look super small. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well they will generally always look small if you view the picture from the message since most phones resize images to minimize the amount of data that needs to be transferred for the MMS.
So the best way to view pictures from pic messages is to long-press the picture and select Save to SD Card or whatever it says
then
go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
and go to Gallery and Clear Defaults
if you have any other gallery applications, like QuickPic, do the same for that.
then when you click the picture it should ask which gallery you want to use to view it.
i recommend using QuickPic since the stock Gallery on 4.5.91 Android 2.3.4 is awful.
One annoyance of the this phone is that when I try to set a JPG to be a homescreen wallpaper, the aspect ratio that it allows you to crop to is for exactly one screen. Not a big deal if you use Touchwiz since the background doesn't scroll. But for most other launchers (I use Nova), it looks retarded having black space to the left and right of the central image.
Anyone find a workaround for this?
Thanks.
Yes, you need to use the stock ICS Gallery app to do it.
I just figured this out as I am using Trebuchet, there's a thread regarding replacing apps with their stock android counterparts here:

Note that you don't have to replace the TouchWiz Gallery app, you can have both (I do atm since that thread said replacing it broke the camera preview).
Just open the wallpaper you want in the ICS Gallery app and set as wallpaper within it so you can properly crop it for scrolling.

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry if I'm being dense, but when I try to install the Gallery2.apk, it says something about replacing a system app. How did you get it to have dual install?
I just copied Gallery2.apk into the system\app folder and installed it - just hit yes. It won't replace the TouchWiz Gallery app. You get that 'replacing system app" thing with anything you install to system/app it seems... got that when I installed Trebuchet as well, and had both it and TouchWiz accessible till I deleted SCLauncher2 or whatever it's called.

That's what I did, and it installed the new gallery. But when I hit the ICS gallery icon in the app drawer, it just launches the Samsung gallery...although when I hit set as, crop picture using ICS gallery, it works fine. I still can't just launch the ICS gallery though.

Wallpaper Wizardrii lets you crop the image anyway you want, it's in the Play Store.

Go into Application Manager -> All
and scroll down to both Gallery apps. You may need to clear Launch By Default on them both so you can pick which to use again.
All of a sudden today I can't change my wallpaper to a pic from my Gallery. Tried from stock Wallpapers still couldn't, I changed to a Live one and it worked. Tried rebooting, shutting down turning back on and still happening. Another weird thing, when I select the section of the pic and hit save, it generates a duplicate but cropped image as another file...so the wallpaper that I wanted instead becomes another cropped image. Never seen anything like this.
Wallpaper to your home or lock screen? if it's the lock screen that won't change are you probably using a launcher? if so turn off your launcher and go back to TouchWiz first then change it from there also use the default gallery viewer.
Thanks for that, I made the original Gallery default app instead of gallery3d from S2. Shame though, I don't mind using the S3 gallery except that that the sharing options are lacking. Has every option except Messaging, Email etc. The most popular choices are missing even if I choos 'More'.

I know there are tons of image search apps in the Play Store. But I've been trying to find one that comes up in the choices when you try to attach a picture in an application.
For ex, I have a note taking app that allows me to insert pictures in the app. When I insert a picture, the popup menu comes up with the different gallery choices I have on my phone (in my case I have Samsung Gallery, 4.2 AOSP gallery and Quickpic). What I'm looking for is an app that would appear in this menu so I can search the internet directly to attach the picture instead of going into an image search app, downloading the pic, then going back to my note taking app and inserting it. So basically I'm looking for an app that would allow me to skip the downloading the pic to my SD Card part and to attach the pic directly.
Tried Droid Iris, Image Search and many others but so far none of those apps come up in the gallery choice menu.
Anybody knows of an app that does this??
I had a problem with gallery not working so downloaded quickpics and was using default app manger to change settings. Firstly, there was no default app set for most things e.g camera, gallery, browser etc. I selected gallery and it gave me a list of apps to select as the default app - but I couldn't select any of them - I mean they couldn't be clicked to select.
I opened a picture (after freezing gallery in Titanium Backup) and it asked me which app I wanted to open it, I chose Quick Pic and ticked the set this as default app. But in Quick Pic settings the default app part is greyed out even though pictures now open with Quickpic.
I am unable to set any apps as default in my stock 4.3 rooted S3 LTE. Why is this. Any help would be soooooo appreciated.
Thanks in advance
