Hello,
I have tested some roms and after a while placed back my original using CWM restore. But whenever i take a photo it is saved under the folder camera under DCIM folder. Before it would save photo also under folders named after the month where the picture was taken. So when i opened up gallery is saw all the months folders instead of only camera folder with a lot of photo's in it.
Do i have to change a setting or am i doing something else wrong?
Thanks,
Francis

Previously, were the photos saved to different folders or did the gallery app make this distinction?
On my stock 4.0.3 ROM all photos are dumped in DCIM. Just like you're experiencing now.

Into different folders under the camera folder.

I hated when Android made the move to the 3d gallery. Anyone know where I can get the old version, and if replacing the current gallery will work with it?
I'm hunting down old roms and backups on my external hd now.... curious if others have replaced the 3d gallery.
Please give input!
I found this from CM 5.0.7... which I think is not the 3d gallery. Will wait till I hear from others before I go replacing..... I'm thinking if I use root explorer and move the stock gallery to my sd (for a backup) and drop this is system/app I should be good to go after a reboot... thoughts?
EDIT: SUCCESSFULLY REPLACED THE CALENDAR (IN MY STICKY THREAD), BUT NO DICE WITH THE GALLERY... NO .ODEX FILE I GUESS? WAS NOT SHOWING IN THE APP LIST. SORRY FOR THE CAPS, JUST DIDNT WANT PEOPLE GOING CRAZY WITH THE ATTACHED FILE.
i say do it
i been replacing everything in my vibrant*de-t-mobiled*
just dont delete the file you replace so if it doesnt work just move it back into system/apps folder you wont know till you try hell i bricked my phone once now know how to not do what i had done last time.
please wait 2 seconds for an uncompressed image, or press Ctrl+F5 for original quality page
I guess this would work if I flashed a deodexed stock rom.... anyone know how to swing this stock?
I cant let this die... suggestions?
Correct me if Im wrong but couldnt you just download a G1 rom running 2.1 or 2.2. Most of these roms have BOTH the old Gallery and the new Gallery installed.
This is how I would go about doing it as I like the Picasa functionality of the new gallery. It would just seem better to have both giving you a choice of better image quality on zoom in the old gallery and Picasa integration in the new gallery.
Should just be able to decompile the APK for the old gallery and rename it to Gallery2d or what not, change the icon and you're set.

You should be able to look at how this was done in Chromatic

Im really not big on the 3D gallery either, and thats mainly because 1) i had a mytouch and a mt3gs so it wasnt the smoothest... 2) i have certain directories thats are "private" and its not cool having them popup with mutliple pics.. haha
But on the Vibrant there was so much good to the phone that it outwieghed the gallery thing. Id like a 2D gallery, but I like the Picasa integration too and also wonder how the Camera would get involved with a 2D gallery.

This is a simple fix. Because you are using android you can hide folders in the same way that you do on any Linux system. Simply open your file manager, Astro should work well for this, find the folder of shameful pics, choose to rename it and simply add a period "." to the beginning of the folder name. So if the folder was called shameful-pics the new folder name would be .shameful-pics.
Now that your folder is hidden, the gallery should not pick it up. If you want to view the images simply open Astro back up and brows to that folder and use the Astro photo viewer to see the pics.
My DCIM folder and sub-folders like Camera, Thumbnails and Facebook are now empty and I REALLY need to recover my photos, someone know a way? Searched with Astro, ES File Explorer, Total Commander even Windows Explorer and found nothing
I have a wallpaper folder at root and the wallpapers are missing too, I think every .jpg and video files are gone, even Instagram and screenshots pictures are missing too... I can find pictures only at ".something" kind of folder,
I've tried unsuccessfully ways like using DiskDigger and Undelete, yesterday was the birth of my cousin and I was the only one who take the pictures
And what exactly did you do to have them gone?

Nothing, I went into the DCIM folder to make a copy and it was empty, in the morning they were there!
The weird thing is that I deleted some blured pictures in the morning and when I tried DiskDigger I could recover the pictures that I select to delete.
Hello!
I know Dropbox for Android (and iOS for that matter) will automatically upload pictures you take with the camera. But I want to have it also upload pictures that I save, either from a text message or from a website. Those pictures are saved to the "Downloads" folder, which I don't think Dropbox is watching for pictures. If I move pictures to the "DCIM/Camera" folder, SOMETIMES pictures will upload, but not always.
So is there a way to force Dropbox to auto-upload the pictures I save? I want that to happen so the pictures will be renamed to the date it was taken, which is why simply sharing them to Dropbox won't do.
Thanks!
Bump..also looking for an answer
Don't think so hmm. Maybe try to force a media rescan via one of those apps on the play store?
Alternatively use an app like Dropsync to do one way uploads or 2 way syncing to any folder to Dropbox.

Dropbox does watch the Downloads folder. Actually, it monitors every folder on the USB storage partition of your phone. For example, screenshots I take on my phone get uploaded to my Dropbox as part of the "camera upload" function of the official Dropbox app, even though I don't get those pictures by using the phone's camera nor are they stored in the DCIM folder.
To see this, take a screenshot of any screen on your phone (for my wife's HTC Vivid it's Power + Volume Up, for my SGS2 Skyrocket it's Power + Home). It'll get saved to /storage/Pictures/Screenshots (your exact path name may be different depending on how your phone designates the USB storage partition of your phone - note this is note the SD card, but the accessible storage on your phone when you mount it as a USB drive when plugging it into your computer). You should eventually see that those screenshots are uploaded to the same folder on your Dropbox as all the photos you take with your phone's camera.
If you're not seeing that, I'm not sure what the issue would be. I'd recommend going to system settings > applications > dropbox > force stop > clear cache > clear data > uninstall, then reinstall Dropbox and set up camera upload again, take a few photos with the camera to make sure it works, then retaking some screenshots to make sure that that works as well.
by default, it upload to "Camera Uploads" dropbox, can I change the default folder to other folder in dropbox? sub folder?
Thanks

No feasible solution
I don't think dropbox watch ALL folders. I noticed pictures for Whatsapp / eye-fi / any other apps which stores pictures in their own folder do not get backed up. Please advise if anyone have solution as to enable users as to which folders they want to upload to dropbox from their Android.
I use these two apps to sync additional folders on my phone to Dropbox's Camera Uploads. It may not be the exact solution you're looking for, but it works for me.

Try pasting photos in camera folder and rename similar to photo taken with camera. That may work

Hi,
I am very interested in these feauture. There is some solution to automatically upload pictures for other location in dropbox?
Many thanks
Hey everyone.
Whenever I plug up this phone, there's DCIM and 100Media and all, but there's no folder that stores *ALL* of the photos on the phone like the 'All Photos' album in the gallery app.
Is there a place to easily view and transfer to the computer ALL of the photos on the phone?
Thanks in advance!
There is DCIM folder which contain all of your photos.
You can copy that folder.
And others are on SD card separately

From what I know, the gallery app just makes an album called all photos. But the ones you actually take are on DCIM and 100MEDIA. If you took photos on another camera app it would be in it's respective folder. Happy snapping!

Hey, thanks for the reply.
But I already knew that. I was wondering if there's a place to easily transfer all of the photos on the phone, not just 100Media and individually transferring from other folders.
So is there such a place?

You should press thanks because it's free.
And no, unfortunately I don't. If there was, HTC would have made life easier.
Nupzz .
There is no folder available called all photos.
It is only a software which collect all photos and show us in 1 place ....that I mentioned you above.
Hit thanks if I helped you !!!
Hello all I rooted again recently after getting the 3 XX update from verizon.
and now that im rooted I cant get gallery to see any images in any folder except what is now taken with camera app.
any ideas.
restarted phone, cleared cache, restarted app, shut down phone and turned back on, tried different camera apps, different gallery apps....... all with same result that it will not see any of my pictures or videos I took before rooting or see any images in any other folder.
so im lost as to what to do to fix it.
Rom is OTA plus rooted is all.... nothing else was changed.
Im still a newbie but I know enough and i cant figure it out.
cheers all.
If I remember correctly, the files are stored in a different place in 4.2,2 then in 4.1.2. Do some searching to find the folder, and move your pictures there

ive tried moving folders and files..... but the issue is that the pics i have are in the same folder as the 1 pic i took once rooted..... so they are in the same folder. its like the gallery wont see anything else but what is taken from the camera now.
just stuck as to why its doing that..... had pics be seen in other folders before. i even have another folder on the root of the phone, well emulated sd card.... called Pics and it does not see those either.
noticed though that the camera does see the pics i took before but when i open the gallery to view those pics they are not there.
even booted into hboot and bootloader then restarted and still nothing.
oh and also i was already on 4.22 stock from verizon..... had some pics and a vid i took.... then rooted and now can't see pics and vid i took before I rooted.
found an answer i think
Ok think i figure out the issue.
the pictures i had on my device were not in a folder that the gallery app recognizes by default, so it was a naming issue and location issue. I moved the old pics taken with my camera before rooting to the folder labeled "Camera" and now the gallery an see all my images.
Before pics were in the folder named Camera....and now they are in a folder named 100MEDIA... very strange but happy it all ok now.
hope my issue helps someone sort out a problem if they ever have that issue like i did.
cheers all
