Remove Photo Gallery - Safe? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I'm using QuickPic & MIUI Gallery - can I safely remove the Blue photo gallery?

I did it and no problems original FCs. Just froze it.

Yeah, I always remove the stock gallery. The only problem is, depending on what ROM you use, you might not be able to access your pics from the camera app.

I'm a huge fan of blurred ROMs and have gotten into the habit of replacing the moto gallery with Gallery3D from CM7. Just push the gallery of your choice to system/app and set the permissions for it as the same as everything else in there.

AOSP or Blur
I have the AOSP MMS.apk if you this will suffice.
Is it possible to remove the Blur messaging app so I can use the stock one instead?
Yes you can. It's in system/app, can't remember the exact name of the apk though, and use Root Explorer to delete it.
Bump for later use. Sorry.

Is there a way to prevent unnecessary photoes from loading into the gallery?

Yeah.that's exactly what I want to know.
Is there a way to set which folders to look for when importing photoes to the gallery.!

Kii safe works to hide pics.
Create a blank file with no extension called ".nomedia", without quotes but don't forget the period at the beginning of it, and put that file in the same folder as the images you want to hide, bam, all your porn is safe from appearing in the gallery.

Rename any folder by putting a period in front of the name and it won't show up.
I use QuickPic for my gallery, it's a great deal faster and lets you hide whichever folders from a menu when you longclick the album.

Help with gallery

Hey guys, sorry but i'm a new Android user, and I seem to be having problems with my gallery.
There seem to be hundreds of images of buttons, Facebook buttons etc appearing in gallery, making out very difficult to navigate through, to find an image.
Does anyone have similar problem? And how do you resolve it?
I'm running on unrooted Droid 2.3.5, with the recent ota update. Images ate stopped on media card.

Sorry but still getting used to Swype. I meant images are stored in media card.

The built-in Gallery App that comes with the phone is pretty basic. Because of the issue you mentioned, I switched to QuickPic.
You can tell it to only show certain directories, and it has several other features that the built-in Gallery is missing. Check it out - it's free and downloaded over 1 million times.
there has got to be something that can fix the default gallery app. I like it, but I hate that the gallery is so damn CLUTTERED. I cant even find a picture i took last week because its showing ALL of my damn cached images...
NOT cool, moto.
im actually using the old gallery app off my moto defy. much better with out the clutter
Thanks for the tip. Will download it asap.

Welcome to the Motorola picture gallery app. Same thing happened on my old Droid X. About 50 icons from my Pharmacist Letter app appear in my gallery.
You can organize pics into albums that you name. It's kind of a workaround. But yes, the gallery app will show any pic stored on the internal phone as well as micro sd card.

[Q] Stock Jelly Bean SMS app instead of Samsung's ?

Hello,
I was wondering if I could replace Samsung's messaging app with Google's SMS/MMS app or just install Google's. I really prefere Google's one but for some reason I want to keep a Samsung-based ROM (not for Touchwiz launcher, but some apps like the Camera with no shutter lag, S-Memo which I use with my C-Pen,...)
Yes you can, but you need first remove the stock messaging app

How can I replace it with Google's SMS/MMS app ? Where can I download it and will it work with my Touchwiz-based ROM ?
You can pull the apk out of CM10 build.. Push it in system/app after renaming.. But keep in mind your smses will not be threaded..

Try this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/....com.android.mms&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
I was going to use it myself but decided to stick with handcent which i've been using since GBread.
I expect you can do with this app what i done with handcent, - go into stock app - setting disable notifications, go to app manager the disable the stock message app - setup notifications on new message app and you should be good to go.
The dev also got the google calender etc too.
Hope this helps and works - let us know :good:

I extracted my MMS apk from my cm10 ROM, download it: http://db.tt/kCXioNLo
then use root explorer to copy it to system/app folder.
Then you set the right permissions (all of the first row checked and first of second row only, if in doubt check on the other apps permissions and set the same)
And the look for Semms.apk (or something like this), backup and delete it

I made a flashable cwm package for you .
It does every thing itself.
enjoy,
Thanks all ! But i've no thread in sms/mms, you have an idea ?
You will not get threaded messages in aosp messaging app.. Use the app someone posted from the market.. It is modded to be used in Stock roms

Is there really no way to have threads with the original file ? I remember when I got the Galaxy Nexus for a week, I had threads on my SMS/MMS app. With the app on Android Market I'm having issues with LightFlow and the unread count from Apex Launcher doesn't work

I'm currently on the Sprint S3, and I flashed your package. All went well, but when I tried to send a picture message, it force closed the app. When I tried to re-open the thread, it just force closes.
Btw, is there any way to get the little message icon in the lockscreen for this replacement? I miss being able to slide outward on that message icon to be presented with the latest thread.

Is there a way to replace the stock samsung galery app. I know how to install other galery apps. But I dont know how to change the gallery app which get started if I want to watch photos from the stock camera app.
Install any other gallery app of your choice and then open manage apps and clear defaults for default gallery and then open a picture and set ur New app as default always

Too bad. Your device has a specific forum, you only post there or the Android general forums. Your thread will be moved.
