I'm using CM 11.
After taking a photo, there's an option to slide the finger and view the images (and the other images taken by the camera).
In my case, for some reason, the order is reversed! It shows the first image ever taken first, I have to slide thousands of images to get to the new image.
Any solution?
Thank you
Any idea?

There is no option of "sort by", there is "group by" which creates annoying folders according to time periods, which isn't what I wanted..

That's what I said, there is only "group by", which isn't the same as "sort as".
I don't want it to be grouped into days. I want to see everything spread sorted by time.
It is indeed sorted by time, but in the reverse order..

Well it does work, but I really want to use a stock app from a trusted source, and not an external paid app.
I'm sure there's a solution to this bug..

Hmm a stock app from a trusted source huh? If you can learn a lil Java and some minor hacking skills you can always decompile the camera app you "trust" and hunt for the code where the sort operation takes place which I expect to be done by an object of a small private or public class that implements comparator, for reversing the sort it would be a single line of code like comparator.reverse( theArrayListofpics); also it could be totally different simpler or complex code depending on the app, or you can avoid all the above pain in the ass and use a not-so-stock 3rd party apps like Focal by one of the CM devs.

Is there any way to change the camera photos to "newest first"? Right now my newer pictures are at the bottom and it takes a while to scroll down
Has anyone tried this, seems to be the for Nexus One though? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804161
+1 this drives me insane. i have a ton of pics and having to scroll through all of them to see my latest is just stupid
Try QuickPic

It's in the market too but it won't display pics in 3d
I hate this problem too, a workaround is to open the camera app and click the preview box in the corner. That will allow you to view the most recently taken pictures first, and when you switch to grid view it will start at the bottom.
Did you know that, when scrolling through the photos, there is a function similar to what you get in the addressbook (People)? Once you start scrolling and the little scrubber/scroll bar appears, grab it and move it manually. It'll allow you to fly through the images in a second. As you're doing so, it'll even give you a pop up of the date of the photos where you'd be if you stopped scrolling. I hope that helps.
I think the other annoying thing I've seen in every Android phone (or not seen) is the ability to choose a folder before/as you're taking photos where it will save to. On top of this I don't like the HTC photo numbering scheme (image sequence) instead of time stamp as a name. I prefer the time stamp as you don't have to worry about duplicates, repeats, or conflicting names when moving and shuffling photos from phone to phone or computer for backup.
Hey there, don't post often but I have been having an issue with my i777 and GT-N7000 where pics taken in portrait will be turned sideways when sent via MMS. I have dinked around with it a lot in the last couple days and found a decent solution. Its a 3part fix that needs 3 apps. First download the new Handcent 4.0 (maybe other text apps will work, handcent is just what I am using) then get Camera Zoom FX, and Lightbox. With these three apps you can get around the problem easily.
First open up Camera Zoom FX, go into settings, and under the "Save" menu, check off "Auto Save" (before doing this, none of the photos I was texting were saved in the gallery) Now open up the Camera +Lightbox app that was included in your Lightbox App download. When prompted, choose "Camera Zoom FX" as your default Camera. Now finally, open up handcent and send a picture text. When asked for the default camera to use, choose "Camera + Lightbox" as your default camera.
All your portrait texts should be sent correctly. I searched all over the web for "sideways MMS" and found lots of questions but no answers. If anyone has something easier please advise, otherwise I hope the info above works as well for you as it did for me!

After I take a pic in portrait mode, I go into my gallery and select the picture I just took. Then I hit menu and select edit then crop. I make sure to fit the whole image inside the crop bars as to not cut off any of the picture. Then save. The picture should save as a new image or edited image. Select the saved image to send as MMS and it should stay in portrait mode. Works for me without the need for extra apps. Hope that helps.

Yep, thanks for that. I knew this was possible if you were texting something already in your gallery. My post was more geared to snapping from Handcent (possibly others) and immediately sending without any additional steps. The info above does nothing for sending a pic already in your gallery and you still have to do the crop trick you suggested to get those to go out correctly. This whole issue is so irritating to me, it can't be that hard for Samsung to fix, surely they know about it?!

Hey all, I don't know that this is necessarily a phone-specific question, but the first time it's come up is with this phone, so wanted to post it here just in case.
I'm trying to use Tasker to randomize my wallpapers using this method. I'm having a devil of a time identifying the path to locate the various wallpapers. They are all in a folder sitting in the top level of my SD card called "Wallpapers."
Astro displays the path as "mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/Wallpapers" but that doesn't work. I've tried other variations on that theme, too, and none of them will work, either.
What am I missing? Can anyone help a dude out?
Thanks!

This is what I was thinking.
Also, I feel like I've seen it referred to as sdcard2 in ADB on some devices... so try sdcard2/Wallpapers.
Also, I believe when you add the display action there is a search icon in the top right corner of the popup that brings up the gallery and you can select from there directly.

Been searching for over an hour between google and XDA.
I am simply trying to find a photo viewer and slideshow app that does true fullscreen. Some people claim it's not possible. But the Youtube app does it perfectly with full screen video. No top bar and no soft buttons on the bottom of my 4.2.2 tablet.
So far all the apps I have tried, at best will hide the top status bar. But many apps of various uses, do that.
Does anyone know of any photo apps that can do this? And if there truly is none currently, I should start looking into what it would take to write one.

QuickPic and JustPictures, both do not do true fullscreen. They still have the soft buttons at the bottom which they turn into 3 dots. They only hide the top status bar.
With the Youtube app, when you play a video fullscreen, it's true fullscreen. Both the top and bottom Android bars become hidden and the video uses the full pixel count of the screen.
There are plenty of apps that hide the top status bar. I don't remember the names of all the apps I have tried, but so far none of them hide the bottom soft buttons like the Youtube app.

Sorry, I guess I am not being specific enough. It appears that my original thoughts are correct. There simply are no apps that will view photos on demand or present a slideshow using the full screen. I will have to research options for programming my own app to do such a thing. Though if it was a simple thing, I am pretty sure ALL the apps would offer it, at least as an option.
Another thing I didn't mention in the original post is that I know there are workarounds such as using the app mentioned above. But I am trying to specifically find an image viewer and slideshow app that will do true fullscreen. And I was using the Youtube app as an example.
Given that apps like Hide Bottom Bar, exist. I would think the method used in that app could be used within image viewing and slideshow apps. So I wonder how it's done code wise.

Hiding a Nav Bar (i mean totally hiding) is quite simple ... You could use it to make your app (if you're planning to)
Code:
View view = findViewById(R.id.scrollView); // scrollView is the parent view of that activity layout
view .setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);
I just now tested it and it works ... :good:

Thanks. I will try it out. I would love to write my own full screen image viewer and slideshow app. This would be a perfect excuse for me to try.
One thing I noticed in the reviews and the notes for the Hide Bottom Bar app, is it mentioned it requires root for JB. And one reviewer said it doesn't work on 4.2.2. I wonder if your code example works on a non-rooted 4.2.2 like the Google Nexus 7 and others. Though I don't have a non-rooted 4.2.2 to test it on.

Hey guys,
I haven't done Android dev in a long time, but I'd be very interested in starting again just to figure out how to make all (or at least a few of the major) apps work in dual screen stretched mode like Chrome does. I'll have the phone by tomorrow, but does anyone know where to even begin looking into something like this?
If we can figure out how to make it happen, I'll gladly start modifying apps and share them so that they can be stretched across the dual screen. I'm sure it's just a flag in the App Manifest or something very straight forward like that.
Any devs with any pointers?
Here's the contents of my app Manifest of chrome on my Note 10+.
https://pastebin.com/14nWYsD1
Can anyone please paste the manifest from their G8x?
If you have Solid Explorer, on the left slide out tab, tap on Applications, then in System Apps find Chrome. Inside there's a button on top that says "Browse". Just tap that and the manifest file should be in the root folder (first thing you see).
Could someone please paste their Chrome manifest file from there?
Thanks!
For example, in the Samsung one there's a few tags like this to enable Samsung (and Note) specific features within Chrome:
Code:
<meta-data
name="com.samsung.android.sdk.multiwindow.enable" value="true">
</meta-data>
<meta-data
name="com.samsung.android.sdk.multiwindow.penwindow enable" value="true">
</meta-data>
If we can find something like this for the LG sdk, we can enable split screen mode in any app we want.
I will extract my own Chrome app manifest tomorrow, but I won't be able to modify an existing apps until Monday or so. .
For completeness sake, and for anyone else who wants to follow along, here's the manifest from the LG G8X Chrome app:
https://pastebin.com/cz3zLrXq
Todo: find something LG Specific in the new manifest, copy it over to manifest files of other apps and see if it works. Unfortunately this is going to take me a while since I don't have my PC this weekend. More to come this coming week!
Update: looks like both versions are the same. Which means the info is not in the manifest file. I'm not sure where else it would be...
Will keep looking this weekend...
So it looks like I'm using this thread as a progress marker.
I found an app called "second launcher". Trying to see if this is a lead or a dead end.
For those interested, here's the manifest file:
https://pastebin.com/YgyLUgJn
This might be of particular interest...
Code:
<provider android:name="com.lge.secondlauncher.allapps.AllAppsDBProvider"
android:readPermission="com.lge.secondlauncher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"
android:writePermission="com.lge.secondlauncher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"
android:exported="true"
android:authorities="com.lge.secondlauncher.AllAppsDBProvider">
</provider>
Thanks for this, man. I'm shocked only chrome and whale use wide view.
You probably already know this, but:
The second launcher is the home for the left screen. I'm using Nova Launcher right now and it only affects the right screen. The left is still using Second Launcher
Hey, yeah I gathered as much. I'm trying to see if there's a list or something in this app that is basically an allow list.
What I found interesting is that on apps that are allowed to stretch, when they do stretch across both screens, it affects everything not just that app. The keyboard, notification shade, task bar, etc etc. This capability exists, and there's just one place where there's an allow list somewhere. I just have to find it...
Including when taking screenshots.
All I did between these two screen caps, is press the wide view button. I took the screenshots from the hardware buttons so it's a system wide recognition of the new "wide" state...
I just learned a couple things:
1. Wide view is definitely just a resizing of the screen/elements. If you have wide view on and you're asked for a fingerprint, the whole thing breaks. The fingerprint symbol is in between the two screens and you have to tap it to enable the scanner on the main screen. I.e. you need 2 fingers to use it. (Screenshot below).
2. I found LG development site with a guide on how to enable widescreen view in apps. It seems a bit incomplete, but I'm looking into it.
3. Wide screen works in 2 different modes: 1) the entire Android interface stretches across both screens, the break in the middle is not handled and it's a bit wonky. 2) The app knows there's 2 screens and behaves accordingly. Only certain activities are opened on the second screen and there's information exchange (i.e. gallery app/camera app).
This second more seems a bit more involved/complicated. The first mode just tells Android that the two screens are just one big screen, feel free to stretch across. This is the one I will focus on for now. Maybe if I get time, I can make apps behave across both screens.
What this means: you probably won't see an app which shows independent "panes" like Gmail across both screens, or an e-reader with pages across both screen, unless they are specifically coded by the original developers. A lucky break could be if the app is coded as such, and could somehow be convinced that the doi is changing or it is now in landscape mode. Then it could switch to it's different configuration.
Anyway, let's see what I can uncover. Maybe on Monday I will dust of my old laptop, and try to get the LG dual screen demo app working. Once it does, I can try to extract and modify currently installed apps.

2. Where did you find the guidance? All I know is the old dualscreen api sdk with no wide mode
Have you tried force all apps resizeable & secondary display option in developer menu?
I also think there is some kind of lists for dual screen wide mode supported apps. Just like the lists of some apps to access certain features (auxillary PentaCamera, multi window etc)
Have you tried to launch QSlide on wide view mode? There's a developer kit to launch some apps using qslide

Lg has a link to their LG Dual Screen SDK on thier site. Looks like a great start
EDIT: It also looks like the system uses Googles Foldable screen API 29 even though my phone is only running Android 9. I assume this means that the device needs to have the "resizeableActivity=true" in order for the Wide View button to appear. I am looking through Whale and Chrome now to see if that is indeed the case and if an older version of either without this snjipped of code supports wide screen
Looks like it's probably "com.naver.WhaleMediaStandaloneDualFullScreenActivity" where things get interesting... Looking through chrome now
Within the manifest of Chrome:
Code:
<activity theme="@7F14024B" name="org.chromium.chrome.browser.media.PictureInPictureActivity" exported="false"
excludeFromRecents="true"
configChanges="0x00000D80" noHistory="true"
resizeableActivity="true"
supportsPictureInPicture="true">
</activity>
Final edit: AAAANNNDD here's the manifest for whale:
Code:
<activity android:theme="@7F140101" android:name="com.naver.whale.dualscreen.DualScreenTabActivity" android:exported="false" android:taskAffinity="com.naver.whale.dualscreen" android:excludeFromRecents="true" android:configChanges="0x00001FB3" android:windowSoftInputMode="0x00000010" android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
[COLOR="red"]android:resizeableActivity="true"[/COLOR]
android:supportsPictureInPicture="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.naver.whale.dualtab">
</action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE">
</category>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
So I'm pretty sure this is the puzzle piece we need. If we can root the device, we can force this activity any app an force full screen.
Though, Gmail has this and it does not do any sort of multi screen view for me... Hmm...
Yes! Thank you!
This is what I saw earlier as well, that it says it used the Google foldable APIs but did they back port it? I assumed (like most Android manufacturers I e. Samsung) that they just developed their own thing, so I was surprised to see them mention Android foldables.
Do you think all it needs is the resizable activity true in the manifest? If that's the case, I'm going to try it on some of my apps and see what happens!
Will report back later tonight!
I don't know for sure if it's the only thing, but Google's Dev notes on foldables mention this specifically, good luck!
I may mess with something here or there myself, this dual screen thing has a ton of potential
Yeah so I don't think that's it. I checked GMail and also checked Google Maps. Both of those have this in their main activity but neither of them support it. It may be PART of the puzzle, but it's definitely not the missing piece. Will keep looking further.
So I found something that bothers me a bit....
http://mobile.developer.lge.com/support/forums/sdk/?pageMode=Detail&tID=10018522&listPage=%2Fsupport%2Fforums%2Fsdk%2F
Thank you for your interest in LG Dual Screen.
Unfortunately, 3rd party apps can't use the APIs. Because those APIs can use only LG System App.

God, I really hope that's not true. So far it seems to be. Since Chrome/Whale browser, etc. are system apps.... Google Maps is not, so it can't... same with GMail…. honestly if this is true, I might return this phone. This is huge for me....
Ignore that, I think this is only valid for those specific APIs that the person in the forum referred to... please ignore my comments, carry on...
I was able to have the device spit out information about the two displays that are available. The second display definitely comes up as an HDMI display. I think I have a lead on how to get full screen apps to show up. More to come.

I was able to have the device spit out information about the two displays that are available. The second display definitely comes up as an HDMI display. I think I have a lead on how to get full screen apps to show up. More to come.

You can install 'Sentio' and 'Taskbar' now. It's like Samsung DeX, to trigger HDMI mirroring

So I found something that bothers me a bit....

God, I really hope that's not true. So far it seems to be. Since Chrome/Whale browser, etc. are system apps.... Google Maps is not, so it can't... same with GMail…. honestly if this is true, I might return this phone. This is huge for me....
Ignore that, I think this is only valid for those specific APIs that the person in the forum referred to... please ignore my comments, carry on...

Some Korean apps (not system apps) can use dual screen perfectly. So it's not true. I believe it's like how LG older Multi-Window feature works, there are some lists of packages names for supported apps. There's also a way to build the code inside an app

Yeah so I don't think that's it. I checked GMail and also checked Google Maps. Both of those have this in their main activity but neither of them support it. It may be PART of the puzzle, but it's definitely not the missing piece. Will keep looking further.

Can you open a link in chrome or whale that will trigger Gmail or gmaps to open automatically?
Make sure you've enabled force resizeable app apps in developer menu

Just tried it, unfortunately it shuts down wide screen moose and opens Gmail on the main screen only
Also, have those apps a shot. You can do some dual screen settings, but nothing like one large screen. Maybe I didn't go through enough settings, but I couldn't get the second screen to play nice

Tried both. Neither of them saw the second screen until it was pushed over to the second screen, then I had to re-enable settings and permissions. They basically just behave like two independent devices... it's very odd.

Do you know which apps? Are these available in the app store? (Even if just Korean version of Play Store). Could you tell me which ones (or send me APKs of them) so I can try them out/look through them?

Yup, I've enabled the setting, enabled the flag in ADB, nothing happens. Gmail or Maps just instantly close down wide view and open up on one screen.
