Sharing issue with HTC Gallery, very bad UI design! - HTC EVO 3D

When you open the HTC Gallery app, it shows a grid of thumbnails. When you open a thumbnail and touch the MENU button, where is the SHARE button?
I remember in my old Evo 4G, that when I hit menu, there was an option to share that image!
Where did HTC put it? I dunno, it's a pretty terrible UI strategy to remove it from that menu.

just tap the screen once instead of hitting menu. Not sure why they changed it but you should see the double share arrow after single tapping the image you want to share.

Yea instead of hitting menu just tap the image and you will see the share, delete and some other icons appear...
I think HTC put the most used functions into that menu

OMG!! There it is!
Thanks guys!

Hello All
I have a question regarding how to install other shortcuts on the same horizontal spot as the menu shortcut which leads too all the applications when pressed. ( the middle bottom one on the same horizontal spot with all the dots) Thanks!

What is your home application? provide more details
i'm sorry i'm new to this, what is a home application? hmmm.. I'm running a unrooted x10 as of right now... if that helps. Thanks!
The button i was talking about is the center bottom button that becomes a trash can when you try to delete applications from your home screen. I was wondering how I can install shortcuts next to the trash can button. I didnt know x10 was capable of doing this until I used the clean-up.bat that came along with jit. However, I have since factory reset the x1o, and I was wondering how I can get the shortcuts functions back without all the other customized functions that clean-up.bat gives you after you run it. Thanks!

Im assuming you have adw, if so do as i have mentioned below:
Long press empty place of the home screen
select Launcher actions
select Open/close app drawer
Then your icon will appear in the scree, simply drag the icon to desired position on the bottom bar, in your case to the center location
Cheers
What is adw? and how can I find out if I have it or not? when I long press the home screen, it gives me 4 options - shortcuts, widgets, folders, and wallpapers. I do not have launcher actions.... how do I get that? Thanks!
Install LauncherPro, long press the icon, and change the icon, or the function.

I installed LauncherPro and it did it automatically. Thanks everyone!

New to S2 Homescreen questions

Got my S2 today and love it. But I have a few questions.
1. When I delete items on my home screen and don't add any I get this dumb message that stays on the home screen that I can't get rid off it say
"Press and hold this page to add content"
Well I don't want anything on their, so how do I get rid of that?
Thanks..
Never seen that .
Home screen remove app
Edit
Drag icon to bin

Also how do I rename a folder in the app drawer? I've tried everything and I can't seem to get it....

open the folder and long press the name and an edit box will pop up
When I do that it just drags the folder to the home screen. Its a folder I created to put all the bloatware into. I want to name it bloatware, but all it says is folder 1.
Edit
Add Folder
Drag Folder to Page
Enter Name Box Opens
TYPE NAME
Yes
Close
= named folder .

I have a different question re the home screen - can you set screen 3 to be the default screen the phone goes to when you press the home button? Kinda makes more since being able to scroll a screen left or right.. starting at 1 means you can only go one direction..

I'm sorry, what?? What are you talking about? Your post is so incoherent it's frustrating. How does this have anything to do with what falcon26 was asking?
@falcon26: This is apparently another one of AT&T's "bright" ideas, and I agree, I hate looking at it. I wish those fuktards at AT&T would stop wiping their stinky, sh!tty codemonkey fingers all over my device. I can't wait to get my Otterbox commuter so I can cover up the stupid AT&T logo on the front.
Ranting aside, I don't think this message displays on blank pages of the international variant of the SGH-i9100 (someone correct me if I'm mistaken). I'm sure there is a way to remove it, but I'm not sure what that is. I would definitely appreciate it if someone would chime in and offer a permanent solution (i.e. what code/picture to remove from whatever .xml/launcher file/directory, etc.), but in the mean time, I have a band-aid that works around this and ultimately accomplishes the same thing.
1. Go to https://market.android.com/details?id=org.hk.sticky
2. Install Sticky Widget
3. Add Sticky Widget to the screen you want to remove the "Press and hold this page to add content" message from.
4. When you add the widget a preferences screen will pop-up. Set the background to "Transparent" and press "Set".
4. Presto! No more idiot message. Just be mindful of where you put the widget so you don't press it by accident.
@micks_address:
1. From the Home screen, press the Menu button.
2. Press Edit. Thumbnails of all your homescreens will then appear in a matrix, with the "Remove" trashcan icon at the bottom.
3. Press the Menu button again.
4. Then press "Set as Home".
5. Press the thumbnail of the screen that you wish to become the default Home screen.
6. Press "Done"
7. Done

3rd party Gallery share no MMS?

Had my Tbolt (and I'm not rooted) a few weeks now and unhappy that the stock HTC Gallery doesn't let you share an image to MMS while the image is full screen. So I've been trying a few different gallery apps. While they seem to have much better share options, so far none of them include MMS. I've tried Fish Bowl Photo, Gallery 3D and Smart Gallery.
Is there a way to add Message (MMS) to the list of share options?
Never had this issue with my DInc and sad/suprised this is a problem on the Tbolt.
Tap the screen when the image is there, hit the double arrows button in the middle and choose messages.

LOL, awesome. I guess I was assuming it would have been the normal intuitive Menu button. I would have never figured that out accept by accident. Many, many thanks.

[Q] contact icon is missing

I dont know what happen. I woke up one morning and the contact icon on the bottom of the home screen is gone. I usualy have four icons there. Phone contact messaging and application. But now i only have three. I still could see contact icon inside application. how do i fix it?
Open application drawer, menu, edit, long press the relevant icon and put it back? Or similar, I forget the exact order of things in TW.
how do i do that? im running on stock ics. I didnt root
I just told you? What's unclear and why are you going on about root?
In the 'Phone contact messaging and application', click on the application icon.
press the 'menu/options' button - this is the left of the 3 buttons at the bottom of the phone. this will pop-up a menu. Select 'Edit' from this menu.
You can now move all the icons about. You can move icons from page to page and also from the page to the 'Phone contact messaging and application'.
Once you have changed it to the way you want it, select the 'menu/options' button and select Save.
This has been already answered, but I thought I would make it a bit clearer. There is no requirement to root the phone for this as it is a standard feature of Android.

The gallery will have a slideshow button when within a folder where there are a lotta images.. The delete button will be visible when u press on any particular photo so that it is the only one on screen...
For your second qn, there are two buttons in the middle. One for share which contains all the sharing options. The next one can be set to any particular share feature (bluetooth, wifi direct etc) You need to hold the second button with one finger to change it.
Try it out. Hope I helped..
