How can I force the stock gallery on CM7 to refresh?
I have downloaded several images a "download" folder, then I moved them to my icons folder.
When I open the gallery it still shows the images in the "download" folder and I cannot select them for use because they are not actually there...
A friendly advice: Do yourself a favour, install Quickpic and delete Gallery3d.apk from your phone using Root Explorer.

I've been running Quickpic for some time, but there is one bug that the developer refuses to respond to me about: auto-zooming of images.

Hi guys,
I am currently using Ginger Blur 4.x but have been using this p-roms since 1.x one thing that I dislike about them is the change to the gallery app. The default gallery that ships with the atrix works better for me. Is there any way to restore it?
Specifically what is not working well is the way the Gallery stores pictures. I have many pictures saved on my device and when I snap a new picture I sometimes want to preview it right away but the Gallery neither lets me jump right to the picture shown in the frame on the camera nor does it allow me to change the order by which they are presented in the gallery which means in order for me to quickly look at a picture I just took I need to hit the gallery and scroll all the way to the right every time. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Ack just found the answer in the original thread for Ginger Blur.
Instructions as to how I did this:
-Download the Bloatware.zip from http://briefmobile.com/gingerblur-rom-for-atrix-4g
-Unpack the files
-Plug in your phone to usb on your computer
-set it to USB Mass storage mode
-Navigate to System/App from within the extracted folder structure.
-Copy the MediaGallery .apk file
-Paste it to your SDCard
-Unplug your phone
-Using a program like Rootexplorer navigate to your sd card and copy the mediagallery.apk (long press on the file in Rootexplorer)
-From your home directory in root explorer navigate to System/App
-Press the button at the top of root explorer that says mount R/W
-Paste the mediagallery.apk here
-Scroll down and find Gallery3d.APK and delete it
-Reboot your phone
Congratulations !
Thanks all
Thanks for this. The stock gallery is complete crap. it looks nice, but no editing, nor does it work most of the time.
no problem, I am a bit of a newb to android (the atrix is my first droid) so wading into this from very rough directions was something of a guessing game for me. While trying to figure it out I was really wishing someone had outlined the (admittedly simple) steps.
I'm using my evo and my calendar app is from the kings shooter 3d and it's a great calendar app. When I sync'd the calendar app on my ics photon it only shows some of the things. Pretty much anything I manually put on my calendar isn't coming up. I have the basketball schedule, holidays, and other repeating events showing up, but nothing else. I would like to install the other calendar app so I pulled it off the rom and tried to install, but it wouldn't let it. Does anyone know how I can use the calendar app from my evo rom? Or correct the problem from my current ics calendar app? Thank you
Did you just trying installing the apk? Or did you move it into /system/app folder? If you move to that folder with Root Explorer set permissions and reboot it should work. Dont forget to rename the normal calendar to .apk.bak so if it doesn't work you can just rename it back to .apk and reboot and be back to normal.

I pulled the apk file from the rom and emailed it to myself so it downloaded and I tried to install but it wouldn't let me. Oh ok, I'll try your method. I'll have to read how to set permissions. I have a copy of root explorer and that wouldn't work either, but I have Astro and I was able to edit files with it too, but I would like to get my root explorer working also. Thanks wolf

I tried using a few file explorers even root explorer and none will let me change the name. Root explorer actually says cannot be changed because it is read only. I'm using CM7.2 now. How can I make the files read and writable?
As the title mentioned,what should I do?

use file manager, go to DCIM folder, delete .thumbnails folder.
then go to setting, application, all, gallery, clear cache/data. then open gallery again.

paste the the facebook.apk in system/app/here and change the permission to rw-r-r
Make sure you are ROOTED.
For convenience I recommend install an app named ROOT EXPLORER.
*After installing, Download the Latest Facebook.apk extension file.
*Go to ROOT directory > then SYSTEM > then APP
*Paste your Facebook.apk file there.
*Long press on that Facebook.apk file and choose PERMISSIONS
*And Check as shown in figure.
Done
tell in more detail

OK, here you are.
Make sure your device is ROOTED.
*Install FACEBOOK from Play store.
*Install ROOT EXPLORER from Play Store.
*Open Root Explorer
*If you are in ROOT directory, look for folder named " DATA"
*Open that and look for folder named "APP"
*Open that folder and you will find all installed app in your device (except system apps)
*There you will ring Facebook apk file too. Long press on that file and choose MOVE
*Now go back to ROOT directory and look for folder named "SYSTEM"
*Look for folder named "APP"
*Open that, and at the top you will find MOVE HERE, Click on that (Your Facebook file is now moved to SYSTEM>APP)
*Now after moving, long press on Facebook file and choose the option PERMISSIONS
*Check the necessary boxes as shown.
Done
Good luck

You are just modifying the current ROM, Not making the ROM.
If you over right with other ROM while flashing you will loose all the modified data.(like making a Facebook as an System App)
After completion I suggest take a backup of your device.
Edit: If you are getting error, then Move that Facebook file to your Memory Card. After that uninstall Facebook, make sure that FACEBOOK FILE IS NOT ANYWHERE IN YOUR DEVICE EXCEPT YOUR MEMORY CARD. If you find there exist any then Delete that.
Now you are clean, Move that FACEBOOK file from MEMORY CARD to SYSTEM>APP and move there.
After file gets moved, just click on it and choose INSTALL.
Done

Oh man, I thought you just want to modify current ROM.
Off course it is possible, if I tell you step by step it takes long,
I am going to sleep
So I provide you the link for the whole process.
BEFORE APPLYING PLEASE BACKUP YOUR CURRENT DATA.

I am encountering issues with Wolf Launcher. 1. I had to uninstall and reinstall a movie app, but the launcher displayed multiple copies of the app. I could not remove the copies, even after verifying that there was only one copy on my firestick and then restarting the firestick. My only recourse was to move the copies to hidden apps. 2. The delete folder option does not work. After deleting a folder that I created it still remains in my home section. Is there a new release of the launcher that has addressed my issues, or is there a step that I have missed?
What is the name of this movie app? I'm using version 0.1.9.

Cinema HD, v2
I could not reproduce both of these points on my Fire TV Stick 4K and version 0.1.9 of Wolf Launcher. See Video in file attachment.
PS: However, a folder can actually no longer be deleted after a long period of time. Unfortunately, the only thing that helps is to delete the data of the app in the app info so that the created folder disappears again.

I will make the necessary changes based on your advice. Thank you for your assistance!
Easy install for newest version of wolf launcher on my fire tv cube. Loving widget space and the grid guide button on the newest remote gets me back to linear tv. I would pay Amazon $40 a year to replace the ads with a space for widgets!!!
I can confirm the folder deletion bug in the 0.1.9-wolf launcher, but the fix is easy:
1. Unhide all apps.
2. Open the folder.
3. Move all items in the folder to the built-in Applications Section.
4. Delete the folder.
5. Rehide duplicate apps while they are in the Applications Section.
