When viewing an image in the Android Google Plus app, you can "Set as Wallpaper," but not save it, and I can't find the image anywhere on my device (Nook Color, CM7).
I'd like to use some images from someone's G+ album with Multipicture Live Wallpaper. Anyone know where I can find the image after it's set as my wallpaper?
I would love to know this too. can't find it.
Try SD/android/data/com.Google.android.app.plus
I never download picture. Try this location out.

There's no clear G+ folder in that directory, unfortunately. I nosed around in several other folders, but still no luck.

Maybe those photos are saved as cache.

Is there a way to hide or not show each and every image file on my phone in the gallery app. Gallery app shows not only pictures taken with my camera and albums but also images from all my apps installed. Thanks
Put a .nomedia file in folders you don't want shown. If you're unsure what that means, search for .nomedia.
I suggest that you look for an app called quickpic on the market to replace the stock gallery. Once you start using it you won't ever go back to stock. It has the functions which you need.
Thank you guys, I'll try both.

Been using Quickpic now for a long time and it's the best there is.
I'm surprised Google didn't buy this app and add their own tweaks to it as the stock gallery app isn't up to much at all.
Start any folder name with a full stop and it won't be shown in gallery even if file explorer is set to show hidden files

So whenever I take pictures or add pictures to my phone, a separate thumbnail folder with duplicates of all my pictures gets created. I was just wondering what this was? And can I delete it without losing the rest of my pictures?

Freeze it. Backup. Remove.

Can't freeze because it isn't an app...

It sounds like it might be the directory where they store the thumbnails you see in the gallery app. Where is this folder located? I can give it a look.

Ok the folder is located in sdcard/dcim and I'm running cm7. You're probably right about what it is but I was just wondering if it was necessary. It flutters up my gallery with a bunch of duplicates :/.

That's exactly what it is. I'm pretty sure if you delete it, it will just get recreated.

I don't have cm7 flashed ATM, but I know in the MIUI gallery app, you can hide certain areas of the file system from being scanned for images. Maybe there is a similar option in cyanogen?
For any one having issues setting custom wallpapers through an AOSP based ROM, I have found the solution. Upload the image(s) to any host. I simply use my G+ account. Access said site using your device (through the browser) and long press your chosen image until the menu comes up. Choose Set As Wallpaper and voila! A full size, non-cropped custom wallpaper on your phone/tablet.
Thanks always been annoyed by this bit of ignorant setting ,
I would like to chose myself if I would want it cropped or not,
Maybe nice add to remove the cropping in custom roms

You can always use the app quickpic too, much simpler

It does not work for me on AOKP M6. That's why I went through the trouble of figuring this out. There is not an app on the market that avoids the "cropper" on AOSP ROMs in my experience.
Try app in google play called (simple image wallpaper free) after installation you will find the app under live wallpapers and choose you image and set and full screen no croping at all

I think you guys have missed the point. You should not have to download an app in order to set a wallpaper "as-is". The method I posted is quite simple and does not force the download and install of an app and you also avoid having tons of images on your phone at one time. Plus, the 3 wallpaper apps I've tried are full of ads and still force the crop.
I downloaded a full resolution image of the Mars landing site taken by Curiosity, but I think the file is too large for Android. When any app goes near the file it just crashes, that includes Gallery, Quick Pic, and Root Explorer.
I can mount USB to delete it, but before I do I was just wondering if anyone had an app capable of opening it. I really enjoy the zoom feature of Android for looking at pictures.

Whoops, I had to remove the active link because it would kill Chrome on my laptop too... You need to right-click and "save link as" to download it.
I know the image is stitched together, but in one piece it is equivalent to 321.1 Mega Pixels, and I can't find anything to open something that large!
Hi I will dl it in the morning and have a play on my PC but I can't imagine anything that will open it on our tablets.
Have you opened it on your PC and if so what with ?
I guess I'm going to have some fun in the morning.

Yup, windows photo viewer seems to be able to open it with about 20-30 seconds of loading. Windows live photo gallery, which is my default, cannot no matter how long you let it load for... now just to wait until the next picture to see if any of the "rocks" have moved! (Like on Apollo 18)
I get a ton of email that I need to mark as read, but I can't find a quick way to mass select.... Am I missing something?

Here is another trivial one. The sense gallery shows my download folder, which has pictures/garbage from all my exchange email I get in the sense email app. Is there a way to keep gallery from picking up this crap, or change where the sense mail app stores/cache's its images? The .no media file trick doesnt seem to work.

Make a file called .nomedia in the folder. No spaces and nothing else in the file name. Just tried it and it works.

Can you reboot and see if stuff shows up? I still get an "all downloads" section in my gallery which contains a ton of images from html email from the sense mail app. I have the. . nomedia file created as well.

Make sure you have a .nomedia file in the folder with the pics. I made a .nomedia file as shown in the attachment, and that picture immediatly got removed from the all downloads section of my gallary. Rebooted and still not there. Deleted the file and it showed back up.

I downloaded another gallery apps and the no media works, however the attachments were still showing from the email app. Maybe the all downloads folder in the gallery is an aggregate of more than just the download folder on the sdcard? Quickpic suits my purposes though.

It is. It is an aggregate of many download folders.

Interesting, I wonder where the mail folder stores the attachments? I changed the mail app to not store any attachments, and that solved the issue that way too. Thanks!

correct. And if you put .nomedia there and they are in there, it still shows up, which was driving me nuts.

They don't for me. They are hidden when I put a ".nomedia" in there. Make sure you spelled it right and what you used to create it didn't add some kind of extension to it.
