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.

This is a preinstalled application on the phone, when you go to select wallpapers you have an option to choose from your photos or this preinstalled wallpaper gallery. I would prefer to be able to add wallpapers to this instead of my general photos so they don't get mixed up. Is there a way to do this or is it even possible to add more? I have used astro to locate the location of the wallpapers but it does not allow me to paste any files in it.
*Edit* This would also make it so people don't have to resize and crop the photos, making the multi pane photos the size they are supposed to be.
Connect your streak to pc, go to my computer > removable disc > and you will be presented with some folders 'data', 'download' etc; create another called 'pictures' and within that create another one called 'wallpapers' put your new wallpapers in their.
I just tried that and the wallpaper still does not show up in the wallpaper gallery. The images are still showing up in the photo app which is the thing I'm trying to prevent. I appreciate any help or suggestions though, so thankyou for your response

Can't do it the way you want to wallpaper gallery is on the phones rom It's self. However if you make a nandroid back up and pull it off your sd card you may be able to put your wallpapers in the wallpaper gallery.

Just a heads up to everyone... if you haven't tried the app Quick Pic on your NC, you owe it to yourself to do so. It is by far the fastest and most responsive gallery app I've ever used on Android. Period.
It also makes a fantastic comic viewer if you've unzipped all of the comic images into their own folders.
For your convenience, I've attached the apk.

That one?
Awesome, thank you for sharing!
It's called QuickPic (Picture Folder) in the Market.
thanks! have to give it a try ... stupid question, is there an easy way to uninstall any of the apps and it will do a clean uninstall.
first time playing with android and installing apps left and right but I'm not sure if that's the best thing to do
Okay, that is a fantastic application. Finally, a way to manage mass amounts of photo data.
_Thank_you_
Wow, this app is awesome. Its like gallery app on steroids. It is beyond snappy or responsive. Thanks OP.

i cannot find recent screenshots in my pic gallery using this app. I can only see then when using the original gallery app. Any Help?
after the recent update, quickpic now zooms on double-tap instead of single-tap. I don't like double-tapping/pinch2zoom all the time, do you know how to change it back to single-taps ?
I tried to find the homepage/forum of the developer to ask him that, but failed... -only found some chinese page
there is no settings/preferences button for this app, right?
QuickPic works good for local pictures, but does nothing with remote pictures. JustPictures works great for remote pictures (Flickr, Picasa), but always does a scan that takes quite a while for local pictures.
I use both, depends on what I'm doing.
I wish QuickPic had an option to not disable the status bar.
this app vs google's stock 2.1 gallery any comments?

I'm not sure exactly what the stock google 2.1 gallery is, but if it's the 3Dgallery, or the original Nook Color gallery, then the Quickpic app isn't quite as fancy, but it also hasn't choked on large quantities of very large photo files, which both of the prior mentioned apps couldn't handle. I also had problems with JustPictures choking on multiple folders with over 100 (5+mb) photos in each.
I would list Quickpic as more utilitarian. It does the job, and does it fairly well.
What about Floating Image?
It doesn't help when you want to find a particular image, but browsing a gallery is heavenly in that app.
Great suggestion
Thanks for suggesting this... I really like the Froyo 3D Gallery, but its not as smooth and some things are just annoying, especially when loading new pictures.
QuickPic is damn good for my needs.
i wish there was a good flickr app, with the same layout as quickpic. quickpic is awesome.

Great app, was using just pictures until now which was far better than the standard gallery app.
In ICS, 4.0.x, Favorite contacts show up as big fat thumbnails, which is awful for usability in my case (as per http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=29364 )
I don't have the ability to try 4.1 yet. Does it also force the same thumbnail view, or can we view the favorite contacts as a list now?
It still shows the same thumbnail view as the contract list.
It can support larger images for when people call though. After you upgrade it starts with the same pixelated pictures. You have to go into each contact and set a new picture after upgrading to jelly bean. It let me set then as large as 720x720 instead of the old 96x96.
There is also an app on the forums here, and the Google play store called HD Contact Photos that will let you do up to 400x400 on ICS.

Thank you, but you misunderstand my post:
Thumbs or images of ANY size = bad. I don't use contact photos, so the thumb-based favorites list is not useful to me, and I'd like it to be in LIST view, like in Android 2.3 / CM7.
From what I see, when I go to my favorites it shows the big thumbnails. The settings there only lets you sort by first name or last name. No option for list view.

You're using 4.1, and not 4.0.x ?
I personally have always liked Quickpic vs pure android gallery and Xperia gallery when i had my Arc S. but since i've had the 4.1.2 Gallery on my S3, ive loved the different view options, the speed has been great. I cant see myself having a need to use Quickpic again.
Anyone sitll using Quickpic? if so, why?
Because it will not let me hide albums like quickpic. Change to view only on device but does not save that setting

And Quickpic works extremely fast with quality previews, unlike the blurry images on the the stock SGS3 gallery!

Agreed with the option not saving but i definitely dislike my facebook / picasa pics in my gallery, so i remove them from syncing.
I like the logical sorting option.

Exclude albums from being scanned
Hide albums
Fast even with high quality images
Loads much quicker
The thing that really put me off the stock gallery though was how long it took to generate an image after I took a photo. I'd snap an image, click on the preview button and would normally be greeted by a loading screen that would take roughly 2 seconds. If I use another camera app then hit the preview button and set it to open with QuickPic, the image is there IMMEDIATELY. It's not the fact that 2 seconds is a long time to wait, its the fact that other apps can do it quicker. I'm on CM10.1 and have no need for QuickPic. Gallery is smooth and images are accessible immediately, no loading times or black screens
The stock gallery app annoys me as it does a lot of people with the FB portion, but what also annoys me is how it arranges the photos in my albums. I like QuickPic because I can arrange my photos in my albums from the app, but I cannot send an MMS from that app. Is there an app that will allow me to send MMS from within the app, and also serves as a good album viewer?

Try Just Pictures.
I like it as much as quick pic. I think you can share from it.
Just downloaded it, looks very nice. When I try to send it as MMS there it gives me a list to share the picture, but the text icon is not listed in there.
I just downloaded Gallery ICS, which is the older style i prefer from AOSP

Same problem as the stock gallery app in that it arranges my pictures weird.
Not for me.. it just puts them in different folders (based on actual folders in the drive), and arranges from newest to oldest. I hate how sense separates them into date folders
