Has anyone figured out a way to attach downloaded images to SMS/MMS? Often I'll download pictures to send to friends/family/etc and I haven't found a way to attach a downloaded item.
Images downloaded don't show up in Gallery. I can't share from Downloads because the sharing feature doesn't list Messenger as a target. When I try to share from Messenger, the Picture option allows attachment from Camera or Gallery... neither show downloaded images.
Anyone have any ideas? Super frustrating.
I am able to. I choose to attach a picture, select gallery, then switch from events to albums in the upper left and there is an all downloads folder there to choose from.

Is there a way that i might be missing to hide albums in the gallery application? I know u can put a "." in front of the folder name to make it hidden to the whole device and possibly add 3rd party applications to hide folders but i just wanted to hide folders i have with icons in them, only in the gallery but still have them available when using other apps, that way i can still customize with the icons

Try Gallery Excluder. Easy way to choose folders that you want excluded in the gallery.

Make sure you don't exclude your music and movies folder though.
If you put a text file in the folder and call it ".nomedia", then none of the images in the folder will show up in the gallery.
Unless you're really attached to the stock gallery, I'd recommend trying QuickPic. It lets you hide or exclude folders and numerous other things, it also loads much faster than the stock app.

like he said copy this into the folders you wanna hide your pr0n in, it will also hide subfolders too
this works for music images, video ect...
i attached it because its hard to create it under Windows
unzip and place .nomedia in the phone folder

using this would hide the folder from every app though correct
like if i went to Launcherpro and wanted to change an icon in dock .. when i looked for that folder it would not be found.. really only wanted to block in gallery not the whole system
I'm having issues with this. My Nook app, for example, dumps huge folders of pics (from ArticleView I think) in the gallery. I've checked some albums, and they already have .nomedia in them and they still show in the gallery. I tried a few apps to hide the albums, but that breaks the functionality in the app too. Any solutions? This is really annoying.
try the app quickpic does an easy job of hiding or excluding folders.

When you manually copy the nomedia file you have to wait for the gallery Db to refresh to see the results.
If you download 'gallery excluder' it will add a nomedia file and allow you to force the media database to update whenever you'd like.
Is there a gallery/mod that functions better with this device? I've tried a couple but they don't show 3d pix or vids.
My complaint with stock is that you can't share directly from the pic. You have to back out to view all, then select share, then click the pic. Same goes for "set as" and delete
Thanks
We all had these moments when we just had the opportunity to take the perfect picture, but the camera app slowed us down and we missed it.
Thats why i came up with an idea which will allow you to take photos from your homescreen / anywhere with help of one of the hardware buttons without opening the camera app first.
This is where you guys come in. How do i go on from here and is this something you can achieve with the app tasker?
Would appreciate if you could give your thoughts or put me in the right direction if anything like this already exist!
Im using the galaxy s2 if that would make any difference
Managed to do something almost as good as i want it, its a tasker widget which open the camera and takes a picture.
Its a bit glitchy since it wont take a pic 2 of 5 times and it back out to fast if i add an option to either go home or kill the camera app.
I can post the tasker profile if anyone would like to take a look at it and help me out.
Take pics without opening the camera with tasker + instant upload & auto delete pics
I know this threads pretty old but it doesnt seem to have been fully answered and i wanted this function so... After lookin around i found this post but it didnt do what i wanted, tasker has been updated a lot since this was originally posted so...
A little more googling was done and a while later i came across a way of taking photos without waiting for the camera app to load up...
Create a widget to take a photo instantly without opening the camera by long pressing your home screen for the add dialog, selecting widgets and add a tasker, task widget.
Create a new task and name it
Add a new action - media, take photo
Set parameters - choose camera to use, specify filename, set naming sequence to series/chronological, check discreet for no sounds
*(uncheck 'show in gallery' if using the method described lower down to upload and delete photos with dropsync)
OK this and choose an icon. Then add the widget.
Click widget to take a photo.
A folder named tasker will have been created in /DCIM with the photo in.
I added this as well to save me from filling my phone with photos.
I'm assuming that you have Dropbox already for this...
Download and install DROPSYNC from the play store.
During the setup you will be prompted to link folders -
Link your /DCIM/CAMERA folder on the phone to the Camera Uploads folder of Dropbox
You will be asked what kind of sync you want - set this to upload and delete.
Turn on instant upload and set parameters as desired.
Now your phone will auto upload your camera's pictures straight to Dropbox and then delete the original on the device immediately. Make sure dropsync is not checked in any task killer you have as instant upload may not work.
You can change the dropsync linked folder (or add another if you have pro) to /DCIM/tasker to have your instant snaps instantly uploaded and deleted from handset.
NOTE:
I dont think this requires root access
Is there any way to have images folder wise in sense 5 gallery app?
I created a folder & pasted some pictures into it but still the pictures show up in camera shots & not in a folder created...
Thanks.
You really need to explore more friend
When you open the gallery app, you have three options there - My photos -Online Service Gallery - Camera shots
Select My photos - it will take you to events
Click on Events (on top) - in the dropdown you'll see Albums
Select Albums - there are all your images in folders you created/have.

I had earlier already explored everything, then also the folders didn't manage to show,then I created a thread.
Still didn't find that particular folder I created, though I can see other folders such as screenshots etc..
(I had created the folder in DCIM from es explorer where all the camera images are stored.)

I see ... it is the way it is in Sense 5. Any folder created inside DCIM, all images are shown only in Camera shots.
I have the same thing in One X and One (M7) which are running official Sense 5 4.2.2 and 4.4.
Put the created folders out from DCIM, you will see them as albums.

No.. you can't with the gallery app.
But you can hide them with a workaround. Just simply drop a blank .media file inside DCIM. All images inside DCIM will be hidden. To see those images in gallery again, delete the .nomedia file.
You can copy the .nomedia file from sdcard/android/data/ if you don't want to make one.

Thanks.:good:
Does anyone know of a camera app that can create folders for pictures taken? What I wanna do is...I have to go to different locations sometimes and take pics of items. I'd like to be able to open the camera app, select or create a folder with the item's home address so I know which pics are from which location.
Thanks...
