[Q] Where is my Lockscreen Photo? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there. I am having, what seems like, loads of problems with my phone at the minute!! Now apart from my other problems which I have (in my other thread, if you can help?) I have/had a photo that was on my home & lock screen but somehow managed to delete it from my home screen?? It is however still on my lock screen! Now where is the location of this photo? I cannot find it anywhere on my phone (gallery or in files?) it is not saved on my Dropbox either? I do not know if TB as backed it up or not? I need to restore my phone because of the other problems I have but I don't want to lose this photo, so I cannot restore my phone! Can anyone help me please as it is a photo of my two little boys? Where do I need to look, for the file?
Thanks in advance
Jay

Anyone know what I can do please?
Thanks.

1. Take a screenshot in your lockscreen. ( Power Button + Home Button )
2. Cut the unwanted parts.
3. Done
:highfive:

Good News
The good news is I have managed to find my photo!!! I had backed it up via Kies quite a while back on my old computer then backed up my old pc up onto an external hard drive! So after loads of searching I managed to find the file & reinstalled Kies on to my new pc. I now have my photo back!
The moral of this story has got to be #back up your photos# you just never know what can happen? I still don't know how I managed to lose this particular photo????
A very happy

HTC album(no cab yet!)

I'm posting here so everyone can discuss their tries and possible solutions to get this boy to work on our prophets.
I'm using prophet touch VIII and as I start the app it just shuts down. I'm guessing not having the new htc camera botches this one... but if we install the camera then battery consumption will go up the roof.
So, anyone got any ideas to share?
(Cab is on page 2)
does it actually start before it closes down? when I start the exe the waiting cursor pops up and vanishes... and that's it.

It does the same thing as yours on both cabs
there seams to be a problem with the coredll.dll that is not the same on prophet and the devices the Album is working on... so we need to patch the album to make it work.
It starts to load but it's wanting to start something that is missing so it's not there so it just closes again... it will not help to install the camera 4.11 sorry

maybe prophet touch X will have it but who knows there might be a breaktrough tonight I'm shure I'm not the onlyone trying to get it to work on prophet so maybe someone else comes up with the solution and shares it with us
I think we all just have to wait. Someone will, as always, figure it out at last.
If I had the time to work into programming and stuff I'd love to figure it out myself, but I fear I am lightyears away from being that good...
Check this out. It works on Prophet!

it does slow down my system, too. (mysteriuos 1.0). Good news is that Storkwong has redirected the needed files' pathes to an excluded folder other than the default windows folder to minimize the effect of slowdown^^ >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341131&page=3
the speed might be dramatically improved if it is incorporated in the cooked rom at the first place^^

that combinatiom really works,it shows every pictures from my SD card,not only from My Pictures folder. thank U Gullum once again.

But,it is probably my stupidity,what is a move to get at menu,to see all pictures after I saw one in big format?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
just a single tap and a menu pops up with some options press the bent arrow
this menu can also be called by pressing the midel button of the phone
I'm trying the Album, and I like it very much but I have problem with the zoom function. It' very difficult to use the zoom in command.
Another thing is that after Gullum suggestion (every time he has the answer) are showed all the picture present in the pda, I mean also the gif file form internet site. There is the way to open only the picture present in My Document folders?
Also it acts strange sometimes,when I choose picture from album to view in full size,and then get back to album again and choose other picture,it shows me that picture for a second and then shows the previous picture i choosed.
It just stuck at that picture and it shows it from time to time.maybe I was not quite clear but problem exists.
thanks for middle button,I have missed it somehow!

How did you end up with blank screen?
If you do not need your data you can perform hard reset by entering SPL mode.

He told me that he was making a foto and then the screen suddently cames blank. It is a HW fault from LCD.
And if you take a look to my thread topic you will know that I won't hard reset the phone! :cyclops:
Thanks anyway.

One way to check will be see your Skydrive online. Most likely (if you enabled it) your latest picture would have been saved in the cloud.
If you find your pictures in Skydrive Cameraroll, then you have it saved!
Is it just pictures you are after? Or even SMS etc?

[Q] Recovering data from broken screen S2

Hi guys,
I'm trying to help my friend recover data from his galaxy S2 with a broken screen. It turns on, receives calls etc but you can't see anything on the screen.
His contacts are not in sync with gmail, is there a way to set this up using a PC and leaving the phone on so that everything will sync?
I think the most important thing is his contacts, maybe some pics and apps if it's possible. thanks!
U could probably use ADB to pull em off i would assume, long as u know where they're stored.
Thanks! Do you have a guide for dummies on using ADB to do just that?
Search is your friend, there are tons of guides on XDA. What ROM is your friend running, do you know? I was thinking that if he's running stock maybe you can use an MHL adapter to hook up the phone to an external display.

[Q] Black screen - possible to back up?

Hi there, a long time reader of this forum. First time posting and grateful for any advice please?
Will keep it brief, Galaxy S3, phone works but black screen. Cannot see or do anything with it but can hear it working and see notification light etc. About to send it in to be repaired by Three UK. They have advised me it will be reset and lose all data. I obviously don't want that to happen but I've been either too (a) stupid or (b) lazy to back up before, take your pick which one.
Question is, is there any way I can back up now without being able to work the screen? Can I view the screen and control the phone on the PC somehow? I've searched other threads and found a mention of androidscreencast but it seems that is for rooted phones only? Mine is standard stock Three UK firmware, never been touched etc.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated folks, thank you.
Teamviewer quicksupport. You'll have to kind of guess the location of the notification and the app etc though. I know there's yhe adb backup option if you wish to try it.
Lemme add to this when I get home. Will try figure out whereabouts you need to touch to get the app set up. Don't try downloading it yet.
[Edit] tried it and it won't work. Too much typing and sharing code involved to see it work properly. I guess you have the adb option left.

Do Stock Kindle Apps work on other devices? Answer: No.

Hi folks,
i just googled my ass off, thinking someone must have had the same idea that I just came up with. Unfortunately to no avail.
Is it possible to run some of the stock kindle apps on other devices?
The reason I'm askin is that I just saw my dad usin his KFHD7 calendar application and I liked it better than any other calendar app I've seen for Android.
Could anyone provide me with an apk? Does the kindle even use APKs for its stock apps? My father is unfortunately not a root-guy, so I cannot get the files from him. I'd really like to try it on my Asus tablet and on my HTC One X which both have similar display resolutions.
Thank you very much in advance guys, really appreciate your efforts.:good:
EDIT, see below: Answer is No. Apps do FC instantly. Please close topic

i simply deleted all my kindle apps, not deleted, moved to sd card them all and backuped them all without anty problem, my tablet work without them, but i think they dont work for other devices
Don't know but I've zipped up a few (Calendar & Email) if you want to test them, not sure if they rely on other resources or APKs?

@persano: I'm afraid I don't really get what you're trying to bring across - are you saying you backuped your kindle-apks and could provide me with the calendar? I'm not sure...
No offence intended - might be a langauge thing...
edit: @Gilly10: Thanks, I'll try them out right away!! :good:
edit2: Jeeeezz, seems as if my provider is slowing down media fire on purpose. couldn't even load the webpage on my pc. had to use my phone to get there. now the download of 10ish mb is taking ages. i hate it. 81% and pending /rant
OK. The file finally arrived.
The good thing is: My question's answered now.
The bad thing is: The answer is 'no'.
App FCs instantly, no matter if it's installed by tapping it or if it's put into /system/app with appropriate permissions.
Tried it on an HTC OneX with a custom Jelly Bean Mod. Could install it, couldn't start it.
Tried it on an Asus Transformer TF101 with Stock ICS. Couldn't install it at all (package name already in use).
Thank you for your quick help guys!
Thread can be closed!
