I never loved Sense but I have learned to like it but I have 2 issues:
The main issue is the HTC gallery. I think is junk compared to stock. I have a lot of galleries on Picasa and Drop box. All of my Motorola and Samsung phones that have the stock gallery must store the thumbnails locally where as HTC download them each time. It takes forever to find a picture I am looking for. Also you have no ability to text or email a picture from one of those sources. It only sends a link that does not work unless I give my login and password. I have instead try to open it myself from the browser and then download it and send.
The 2nd is the htc text message app. Every software revision I have tried does it. 1, On the text notification from the lock screen, if someone texts you as part of a group message and you drag it down to directly go to it, it brings you to the single thread you have with that contact, not the recent message. The 2nd issue is many times I open I thread, it starts at the top of the thread. This could be months or weeks back and that scroll bar is a pain in the ass to grab to keep pulling it to the bottom.
Please let me know if anyone knows of a ROM or Mod I can try to fix this. Every Senseless ROM I have tried still maintains the HTC messenger and gallery.
Thanks,
Dave
I know on sense 5 the messaging problems are fixed, but not the gallery issues you listed.

So is there no rom that removes the HTC gallery?

You can install a different gallary, like the stock(4.2) one.

It might be a good thing that the DNA gallery has to download the pics from cloud services each time. I have a Note 2 and it caches Facebook and Dropbox photos and it was filling up my phone memory (you can't switch it to SD card) and the gallery was STILL super slow.
With only 11 gigs of usable space on the DNA, we don't really want it caching all of those photos.

This didn't used to happen, but I noticed it about a month and a half ago. Early on with this phone picture messages would come in fine...I could click on them and they'd look normal when they open up in the gallery. Those messages from then still look fine and function normally. But any picture messages I've received in the last month or so don't work right...They download to my phone (when I have mobile data on, which makes sense), but there's a play button over the picture. When I click on it it it opens up the photo but it looks tiny and I can't zoom in or anything or open with the gallery, etc. If I longpress the message without opening it, it only lets me play as slideshow which is still reallllly small. If I "download attached to SD card" it saves in my file system and when I open it up later it looks normal. But I don't want to have to download every picture message I get to my SD card just to look at it...
What's the deal here? I use GoSMS but I got this problem sometime after I started using that. Either way, the problem occurs in my stock app as well. I can't remember if this coincides with when I flashed GingerBlur or not...
FYI, this happens when I get messages from any iPhone AS WELL as friends with android phones. Any thoughts?
EDIT: also, if anyone thinks it IS GoSMS though, let me know! I don't remember this happening when I first started using it, but I dunno I'm willing to try all possibilities. Maybe a rogue setting in GoSMS is screwing it up?
Not GOSMS. I get the problem with the GingerBlur messaging, as well as stock Atrix messenger.

Interesting, so that should mean GoSMS, the GingerBlur flash or the stock GingerBread messaging app aren't causing it...hmmm...
This is an android issue. Had the same issue when using my nexus one, Dell streak 5 and now the Atrix. It sucks. Never found a way to fix it. Some messages used to come through fine but I haven't notice any work lately at all. They all come through like a small video file and are much smaller in size unless I copy to the sd card.
I'll try to grab some friends phones ( evo 4g, epic 4g, droid x) and see what it's like on their phones.
I also noticed that with animated gifs as well! They are showing up to people as pics only and are very small in size no matter how big they originally were! It's quite aggravating and I tried gosms, handscent, chompsms, and a crapload of others and none are working right!
This is not a problem... This happens when the MMS has several "slides", for example, a picture and some text.
If it only includes a picture, you see it directly.

I see. That's quite absurd, and even if it isn't a real Android problem, this should be changed...
It gets really annoying that even when I get a single picture in a text, it plays it like a slideshow. Is there any fix for this, or any other way to disable it?
Aside from getting Handcent or GOSms that is.
Running CM9 btw.
Might want to post in the cm9 thread that you're using. It might be a bug with the rom that the developer could fix.
Nah, it's like that in every rom I've used. It's not a bug, its a "feature" of Android.

Not a feature in any android rom I've used. Never have I gotten a single pic come thru as a slideshow on stock messaging or handcent.
You can long press on the message and press on download attachments. Then you could watch the pictures full sized on the gallery without any forced slideshow. I know it doesnt really fix things, but it's the workaround I use.

Yes that happens when its more than one picture for me as well, but OP is stating its a single (1) picture that shows as slideshow.

Everywhere I've seen, even for other phones as well, single pictures play back as slide shows for people, where you click the picture icon, and a play, next, and previous icon show up at the bottom.

That's strange cuz I click on the pic and it asks which viewer I want to use when opening.
Hey everyone, currently running AOKP's newest rom and I noticed I am again having the issue where multiple pictures in one MMS are viewing as a slideshow and not as individual pictures.
In the past (and based on my searching) it appears some ROMs have fixed this issue, but all the ones I could find were about 6 months to a year old. I am weary of flashing any of these as since the phone is now running ICS instead of GB, I don't want to mess anything up.
So, anyone know of a fix, or if an older version of mms.apk will work on ICS?
I'm hoping this is just something no one knows and I didn't ask a retarded question
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I'm pretty sure that's a "feature" of the stock mms.apk. It was like that on stock GB too, and still is on stock ICS (the leaks and stock I9100 TW-ified ICS). Coming from an iPhone, it annoyed me too at first, but I got used to it eventually.
Uhhhh,
On my device running AOKP, I have multiple pictures received in one MMS conversation and when I tap on it to open, it opens just one, that one I tapped, not a slideshow. Don't know what happen to you.

When you say mms conversation are you referring to a single mms message with multiple pictures or a thread with multiple pictures? I ask because there's a difference.
With an iPhone you can include multiple pictures in a single mms. That shows as a slide show for me. If someone sends a single picture it shows like normal. 3 pictures in 3 separate mms show as normal too.

In bold, I meant the latter.
Anyway, with AOKP, I can't attach multiple "picture" in the same single mms but I can add a slideshow, which allows me to add more than one picture.
Again, it's on my Tx end, I don't know how the Rx end looks.
I've been looking for the same thing to remove the slideshow but no luck. Eventually gave up and went to Go SMS pro and have never looked back. Love every service of it and it doesn't display multiple photos as a slide show

So with every HTC phone I've had in the past 3 years, its always had the option when long pressing on an image in the browser, to allow you to share it directly with other applications. I would use this feature everyday when sending out MMS messages.
Since updating my HTC Rezound to ICS, that feature is now gone. It would seem that ICS doesn't have this option anymore. I've had no luck in finding an alternative way to accomplish this.. Has anybody had any success in finding a workaround or a way of getting this feature back?
Thanks.

Been looking for the same thing since I've got ICS. My most requested feature. Figure anything out yet?
The chrome browser when long pressed gives the option to share. When selected it gives a list of option to share to i.e. email, text, social media. Is this what you are referring to?

I can't comment on whether or not chrome does this pre-ICS but post it does not. We are specifically looking for the option of long-pressing on an image and being able to share it through sms (not just the web address) or email, etc.
i guessim confused. i still have the option to longpress and save a picture then send it via eamil, text, etc.. from my gallery.

That's so backwards.. /sigh
I just tried this in Maxthon browser and it gave me the option to share....
I installed maxthon browser and while it does have the ability to share the image, it doesn't share the actual picture, just the url or of the image itself. This isn't the same as the other HTC phones where it would literally paste the picture to whatever application you specified.

Which means that it saves the image then opens the message app and attaches the pic to the message automagicly. You just have to so it manually now I guess.... that's kinda lame.

It does suck to have to save it to the gallery to share it. I came from an iPhone 4 and it was a nice feature to long press on an image in the browser, copy it, then paste it in email, messages or whatever. A 2 step process now takes 8 steps but it could be worse I guess. I wish there was a fix for this but I don't think we are going to get it.
When I took some pictures and opened my gallery I noticed a "Blinkfeed" style gallery with "Friends" etc.....Here's the thing...I don't want that crap in my gallery...I actually like Blinkfeed in that it is basically a nicer looking widget for my social apps...but I don't care to see that **** in my gallery when it's already on my homescreen.....I've tried to find ways to disable it on facebook...but to no avail....I'm kind of confused as to why it's even on there and not just the pictures I took or downloaded....Not sure I described exactly what I mean....I'm coming from a Samsung Infuse and never saw that...although it's gallery file manager was crazy enough.

Click the menu button in the top right (The three dots) then select ADD ONLINE SERVICE and just unselect the ones you don't want to see
Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed with that as well. I don't have Facebook, and I also turned off syncing with Google Photos, DropBox, Flickr and Picasa. Yet, I still have a blank "friends" block in my gallery. I'm not sure how to get rid of that. Went into "apps" and tried the method of deleting the cache and data and starting over, but it's still there. Oh well.
