Hi there, guys!
First of all I would like to say that I find annoying the fact that the phone uses the oldest photos in order to use them for the gallery wallpaper.
I copied some pictures today which were read as older and changed my gallery wallpaper.
I changed the file properties and the files I wanted were the oldest again.
But the wallpaper wouldn't change |(it has happened again in the past), so I deleted the .thumbnails folder and let it recreate them again.
All OK, now, it has used the photos I wanted, but like in the past when I had done this again, in the gallery all the videos have no thumbnail anymore...
Do you know any workaround for this problem?
P.S.: There should be an option to choose which photos to use for the gallery wallpaper IMHO..
Hello,
Try openning "Play Movies" app and click on "Personal Videos".
That re-creates my video thumnails.
Thanks,
dmoney98
Hello my friend and thanks for trying to help!
Unfortunately I don't have such an app...
Do you know where I can get it from?
I searched in play shop but i couldn't find an exact match...
EDIT: Seems like goggle videos is not available for my country. Even trying to manually install the apk didn't work (parse error)
Any other ideas anyone, please?
EDIT2: I used Market enabler and managed to install google play videos, chose "Personal Videos" and it did restore the thumbnails..
Thanks a million dmoney98 !!!!

I cant seem to find a hard fact answer, i have androids default gallery and music player.
Using titanium backup you can freeze then try one day, android if nothing happend you can make a backup and deleted
I did that with timescape n moxiermail, never try mediascape butano thats then way you should try

I've been experimenting with deleting certain apps using Titanium Backup.
Having deleted both Timescape and Mediascape completely, everything seems fine, although I cannot test making calls using the stock dialler as I've deleted that in error but use Google Gesture instead to make calls.
Am going to reflash this evening and pay for Titanium so that I can freeze the apps rather than remove.
I Have deleted both Timescape and Mediascape completely. With no problems that i have found..

Confirmed, I did it the same way.
I didn't removed mediascape coz' the stock camera app won't play your vids if you delete mediascape .

I can confirm that.. why delete anyways, just freeze
How to freeze it?
Get titanium backup pro and click on the app, and you'll see the option to freeze...

I just found out one thing you "lose" when removing mediascape, you will not be able to use a picture as a wallpaper as the system uses mediascape for it.
There's a way to workaround it though, you just need to put the picture you wanna set as wallpaper in the etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/android/wallpaperchooser/wallpaper folder and with that you don't need to crop the picture anymore like when you use mediascape...
Easier way to set wallpapers: Use Wallpaper Set and Save from the market (free)
these are all the drawbacks I found when uninstalling MediaScape (lifted from my customizer thread):
MediaScape
apk: mediascape MediaScapePluginManager
Drawbacks:
Camera App is hard-coded to use Mediascape for Gallery/Share.
Vignette Does well but doesn't help in Video mode.
Means: No easy sharing/viewing for taken videos
No easy way to create a wallpaper from taken pictures.
No way to set contact picture from phonebook. Need to go through Gallery3D instead.
I got rid of mediascape once (on 2.1) and the biggest minus for me was that you can't get high quality picture set for contacts in phone book menu; you actually can't set contact pics through regular edit contact menu at all-you have to use stock gallery but as I said no hq pics, just big blur

I was able to navigate to this folder through root explorer, (I am rooted), but how do I drop my pics in the phone's wallpaper folder?
Thanks!
so whenever I play Words With Friends, the facebook pics from other users show up in my pictures folder, which is annoying because it makes finding pictures hard and its embarrassing because I look like a stalker. How can I change this?
sorry. no idea. i think it's an app thing.
i downloaded vevo or something once because i wanted to watch a video that wouldn't play on youtube.
all of a sudden, ads for "the voice" and stuff started showing up inside my picture gallery.
just did a clean up and removed any apps i didn't use and that stopped.

lol.
I am trying to put some Game of Thrones wallpapers on my Note but I can't get these three specific pictures to show on my phone. I can see the thumbnail in gallery but I can't open it. I have tried multiple apps such as Quickpick and ES File explorer and no luck. At first I thought it was a resolution limitation so I re-sized them but no luck. Also cropped, renamed, changed from jpg to png and nothing. I can still put other pictures on there and those are fine it's just these three images that I can't get to show up. Attached is one of said pictures.
EDIT: Running The Collective ROM
EDIT: I know this is something that I can get around by getting a different file but I just think this is weird and would like to know what is causing it.
Can't wait for tonights episode!!!!!!

I've tried multiple apps, gallery, quickpick, wallpaper wizardii etc. The thing is I can't even look at the picture on my phone at all. I downloaded another file and it worked but I can't figure out why this one doesn't work at all.
Resolution
What is the file resolution? I have had issues when trying to view anything over 1680x1050 I dunno why but it's a hit & miss affair.

The original one is 2025x3000. I thought that was the problem but when I changed the resolution to something I know works I still can't get it to work. There must be something in the metadata that is causing the problem. Maybe I'll check it out with Lightroom or Photoshop.
Is this what you are trying to do?
I clicked on the picture pressed save and set as background
"Since God created man, and man created the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note are like a gift from God, Randal!"
Yup. For some reason the picture doesn't work on my phone. Maybe there is something that I have installed that's in conflict with something else.
Hello
I'm a noob with a rooted HTC One that I just bought. I have very little experience with rooted phones. Never owned one before and never rooted anything.
My phone is working well except that when I take pictures or video, they disappear. They don't show in the gallery. I can find them in the file system using a file explorer. I cannot make new Gallery folders either. I tried installing 3rd party apps and they don't work either. Maybe the file system did not get properly configured. Is there a way to do a fresh reinstall of the default Gallery app? Or are you aware of a Gallery app that will completely install its own system that might work?
I am on android 4.3.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike
Try quickpic, it's free in the playstore.. Not sure what's going on with your gallery to be honest. But I only ever use quickpic gallery on my phones..
