Im now on Android 4.4.2 KitKat with CM 11 and theres no option to add an album in the Gallery app... is there an option do download a previous version of the gallery with the option to add albums?
Thank you
There are some free gallery apps on the Play Store which will save you the hassle. Otherwise you would have to find the appropriate gallery .apk that can run on your rom and by using root explorer replace the one already there and then set permissions. Make sure you have searched this fully, this sort of question may already be answered and an extracted file of the old gallery may already be available, also make sure the previous version has that option or this will be pointless

I looked around and couldnt find anything myself. Its possible to extract it from the files of an older version whose gallery you want but i cant help you there sorry . Also i never needed the album option, so you can try a couple of apps of the play store or post in the original rom's thread as a request and there the devs could help you
Drop the gallery app to system/apps in place of the gallery app you have .
You are on non Samsung firmware so presume GApps should have gallery .

Okay,, I uninstalled something called inputmethod.Latin-20(and a bunch of numbers or what not after) and it totally messed up my swype keyboard (continuously force closes). Can't for the life of me figure out how to restore it, can anyone please help? I know that titanium backup on sd has a zip of it and a properties (?) file of it, but can't find it in the list on the titanium app to restore it... Please help!!!

In your titanium folder, there is a long name apk file. You find the file that include your file name (removed). Rename it same as original and use root explorer copy back to /system/app.

Thanks for such a quick response. I think you are.talking about this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
Well problem is I was.only able to download two .bin files and one .php, otherwise I get taken to a site that asks me to register (without letting me know if this will get me the file or not) and one says the file was removed... Or am I just too much of.a noob, lol?!

Unfortunately I did download that package but it seems its not helping at all! Thanks though... I guess it may have been worth mentioning that my gmail app does the same thing... Like the keyboard, I can open it and see my mail, but once I try opening an email, force close (?!)... I also remember I removed system apps that were spelled in the com.inputmethod.Latin-20(and a bunch of characters), because they looked like leftovers of system apps I no longer needed, now my dilemma is so huge that I just NEED to restore that functionality to my phone! Any suggestions??

which one you've downloaded?? xRecovery .zip file or System app .zip file?
you should download 2nd one....there you can find all the stock applications...just push the required missing application by ADB cmd or you can use mRush mode tool. which is very easier......
Am I gonna need my pc?? I have ADB, but was hoping I can fix it now. Im ready to reflash if necessary, but in doing this, am I safe if everything is backed up from before the problem with titanium? And if I have to do that, would it not make more sense to go for a 2.2 aosp like freex10 beta4 (or is there something better out yet)? Thanks!
I have always kept the Google Search widget on my homescreen. I have a son who is curious about everything, so I'm often searching things, and I used to touch the mic button to play a song from Google music or dictate a text.
I've had a lot of trouble with my Vibrant lately and have finally gotten FishmanMod Blue 2.2 Frankenstein Slim to work for me. However, I have lost the search widget. When I try to add it from my widget list, all I get is an empty box that says and does absolutely nothing.
I went to Google Play and it said that Search isn't compatible with my device. (The photos looked like Google Now...)
I have tried searching the forums, and came across an .apk that I tried. I moved it from my downloads folder using Root Explorer into the /system/apps folder and rebooted.
Still the same result.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks for reading!
when you found the widget and moved it in ROOT did you change the permissions then reboot or just moved the file and reboot ?

I changed the permissions. Basically what I did was looked up the thread where Woodrube said how to install GTalk as a system app. I copied those instructions in order to move this .apk. The permissions I set are:
Owner: Read, Write, Execute
Group: Read
Others: Read
None of the special permissions are ticked.
you dont need execute bro just check read on owner/group/others and check write for owner reboot and check again also you made sure you deleted the other one that was kinda there but not working ??

Reset the permissions as you suggested. I looked for anything else with "google" and "search" in it and found nothing besides what I knew I had moved there. Rebooted, same results. I only see "search" in my widget list and it is still an empty box.
Okay, looks like I'm just completely missing the Google Search apk. I installed a 3rd party widget from the Play Store, and touching the mic activates the voice search (because I have it installed) but tapping anywhere else on the search box does absolutely nothing.
I need to look for the Google Search app itself. Any ideas on how to get it? I can't find it at all on Play store. I need it for 2.2.
im so sorry mama excuse my stupidity and do you have any other 2.2 roms ? you can open up the rom on your phone or computer and open the system folder and look for the google search apk are you familiar n doing that again my apologies

No problem. Please don't apologize. I fully realize and accept that I'm totally in the minority here. No big deal at all. Just struck me as funny.
That's a really good idea. I'll try that. I've got the voice search shortcut on my homescreen, and I can use that. I just dislike change.
Hopefully all this will cease to be an issue when I get my new phone. The Hubs (DigitalMonk) thinks I should wait for the new Nexus to come out on Tmo. I'm not at all sure I don't just want to stick with what I know and go with the SGSIII.
I feel you honestly I love the nexus but I always feel like those phone are never giving enough power etc for they to be top dollar phones and the last 2 had problems with the bootloader and recovery being wiped and volume /power buttons becoming disabled ill stick with what you know samsung phone might be plasticy but there solid IMO but if you was to get the new.phone its like trying to keep up with buying jordan lol stick to something you like not because its new but because its easier for you

Okay first I need to know what Android version you are running. If you are running 2.x, you can only use the old Google SearchBar Widget version 1.x. Do not try installing Google Now to Android 2.x because it is incompatible. You can extract the Google SearchBar Widget from gingerbread "gapps.zip" files: http://goo.im/gapps
If you are running ICS roms and want to use Google Now, there are modded version to make it working.
If you are using Jelly Bean roms, then you should be able to install Google Now from the Market.
If you are installing Google Now to Jelly Bean by manually moving the apk file to /system/app, the app needs a lib file called "libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so". However, the name of this file can change depends on the version you are using. This file is located in the \lib\armeabi-v7a\ folder within the apk file itself, it needs to be extracted and moved to the \system\lib\ folder. If you install the apk using conventional method, it will automatically extract this lib file to the necessary location, so you wouldn't have to worry about all this.
It's not recommended do this manually, but by either flashing the patch, or installing it from the Play Store.
Here is the patch for ICS roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835199
The patch for Jelly Bean roms is located at SlimRoms website in the addons section.
Well, my girlfriend updated her Galaxy S3 a couple of days ago, and suddenly the gallery wouldn't work. It just showed up as com.sec.android.gallery3d in the app drawer. I've done everything in my power, even rooted the damn thing, but nothing seems to work.
Amidst my ferocious attack on the problem I seem to have gotten rid of the "faulty" gallery apk and can't find a good one via google that works.
Odd thing is that at first the com.sec.android.gallery3d app was missing from /system/app. When I did a search for "gallery" I found SecGallery2013.apk that was called "com.sec.android.gallery3d" in it's properties. Kind of like a symlink I think.
That original SecGallery2013.apk is now gone with the wind for some reason (my ADHD took over a while). I actually found a com.google.android.gallery3d that works (but not original) and com.sec.android.gallery3d-2be92cef98aab5194d4ae68382324577.apk (took away the number at the end of course) that seems to be the original, but crashes constantly.
I'm at a loss, hence why I did the topic name "need stock apk", as that might fix things.
Though somewhere on the filesystem (I'm still somewhat of a noob as to how android is built) there were once a folder called com.sec.android.gallery3d which is not there anymore. Any attempts at installing the apk has, obviously, also failed.
I've read almost every other possible solution, but all of them seem to be under the impression that I would have the sense to backup every single thing...
Help!
What android, firnware are you running right now?
You can get the gallery app from any STOCK BASED flashable zip (many lite version roms available in this forum). Just open the zip, look under system/app or something similar, take the apk file, put it in system/app of your own phone with rw-r-r permissions, then reboot.
Stock system apps can't be just installed, they must be manually placed in system/app directory.
Try to flash Google Apps from CWM or TWRP (I assume you already flashed CWM or TWRP with Odin)
A brief explanation of Google Apps:
Apps like Play Store, Gallery, Camera, etc... Or the stock proprietary software made by Google are all in this one zip file called GApps, All you need to know is how to flash ZIPs (easy as 1,2,3) and the GApps for your android version.
Other options:
Find another 3rd party Gallery alternative from Google Play (EASIEST)
Flash CyanogenMod or an alternate ROM (Too risky just for getting gallery back)
Just get the images from the device to your computer
Well that's all I got, PM me if you need anything, hit "Thanks" if I helped you
Hi, i got major problem! Im using i9300 and Slimkat 4.4.2 rom, newest version.
I installed another cam app, Snap cam and changed folder where app saves pictures. Same folder that my perviosly cam app use: Sdcard1/dcim/camera
Then screen went black, and i realize that ALL MY MEDIA FILES ARE GONE. In this folder but in all other folders also. Like whatsapp folder all pictures are gone!
I think it is impossible to delete +300 pic and many videos in 1 sec, so can somone tell me where the hell is my all media files or are they really gone?
Tryed to search on ES but cant find any... Gallery say no files detected....
Thanks.

This usually happens when installing a new rom as mentioned in the above guide..I have never known it to happen when changing folders but worth having a look anyway..

Download a rom based on the same update version you are on and extract the files you need and replace in /system/app with the right permissions and reboot.
