Hey guys.
I'm coming from using the Galaxy S3, and the default application (Gallery) was beautiful, in that I could manage my photos (delete, move, copy etc).
Also, everything was easily accessible because it was all organised in folders, where as this seems like a cluster**** to me, where I can't even find the pictures that I just took, unless I looked really hard for them.
Isn't any of this possible in the Album application on the Z2?
TIA

That's why I don't use the default Album app, and switched to using QuickPic instead.

You get to the folder view by pressing the album icon on top left.

I guess you have taken too many photos on your storage card. Just get a bigger card or transfer some of them to your PC. As far as I know the fb and other pics r only saved as thumbnail and 1095 thumbnails don't eat that much space.
nah u not getting it, my problem is that everyones profile pictures and everything else and all my game files and all my icons are on my album as if i took a picture of them........they got there on their own somehow, i have no idea how and i dont want to delete them and then all my stuff stops working.
isnt there a way to just make things go back to normal how they was before?
Tell us more about your album settings, what ROM are you using and is your Album on storage card or main memory?
look at the hints and tips sticky (very first one), in there are the registry settings you need to alter to ignore certain folders and keep your album uncluttered.......
Its here........... and its tip #66
it has nuthing to do with the rom cause i had the rom since i got my hd2 nd i had my fone for a while now....and yes its on sd card

I guess so....
If the problem is number of pictures presented in album, not the space occupied, then maybe try setting one chosen folder as your favorite album:
"To set a favorite album
The Photos & Videos tab on the Home screen displays photos and video files from the current favorite album. By default, the Camera Shots album which stores the photos and videos you captured using the Camera is set as the favorite album. You can change to another favorite album, if preferred.
1. On the Albums main screen, tap Albums.
2. On the Albums tab ( ), tap the album you want to set as your favorite.
3. Tap Menu > Set Album as Favorite, and then tap OK."(as stated in the RTFM, p.248)

I am new owner of the Unlocked Streak. It came with the 2.2 and I am kinda loving it. Have already applied the performance pack and the quadrant scores have kind of doubled from stock ~800 to ~1450 with the performance pack.
Overall I am really loving this device.
Just need a little help in few lousy areas (have already tried searching the forum/web)
1) How do you edit stage UI widgets ? I need to bookmark my webpages on the Web widget but I dont see any option to add my own pages.
2) There seems to be some kind of issue with my Contact widget as well. I have like 150 contacts on my SIM card and I tried importing them to my phone. I could do that but when I get into the Contacts Widget/application, I am just not seeing anything there. Instead it tells me to do the same thing that I just did, that is to import contacts.
I used some other contacts application from the appstore and the other app can see those 150 contacts but again I am unsure if that app is seeing the SIM contacts or not.
3) On the same lines, can I bookmark my favorite music albums in the Music Widget ? Currently everything seems to be random in that widget.
I know I might look like a noob but for a while I am with this new possession of mine.
Looking forward for the help from you guys.

The widget reflects the favorites that you have saved in the browser. Edit and/or save favorites in the browser and they are reflected in the widget.

The contact widget displays the favorites you have set in your contacts list. When in the contacts app hit the menu key and select display options. My contacts all are from my Google account, you may have to select something there to show contacts that are only on the phone. Once you can see your contacts in the contact app tap one to display details and then tap the start in the upper right corner to add it to your favorites (and to the widget).

I don't see any way to create shortcuts on or customize the music widget. You can create shortcuts to a playlist. Hold you finger on an empty area of the screen until the menu pops up.Select Shortcuts and then scroll down to Music Playlist. Tap on that and you will get a list of your playlists to choose from. The shortcut created will open the music player with that playlist. You can put the shortcuts in a folder to keep from hitting them when you don't intend to.
Edit: I also see that the widget displays a quick link to all of your playlists.
Thanks brother. Finally i was able to make the desired changes.

Glad you sorted it out.
FYI - there's a thanks button on posts. Click it when you get a helpful answer.
Oops. Will take care of that next time. Thanks again.

The thanks button helps make the forum better.
It keeps a bunch of thank you posts from showing up in long threads. Sometimes the thanks post comes so far after the post it thanked you have no clue who the person is thanking.
A post with a LOT of thanks shows that it was useful and therefore the content might be given more weight.
A user with a lot of thanks show that the content they post is valued by others.
Users who use the thanks button contribute to the forum by making it known which posts are useful, which users are helpful and keeping threads shorter.
It's a very good system. And you're welcome - enjoy the Streak.
Hi,
The same "old" question...... Is it possible to hide some folders from the stock Gallery in andreoid 4.1.2 (stock) ? ? ? I tried the .no media before - but its seems like it also hide the folder from the music player What I am looking for is a solution to hide all the Album pictures, so it does not show up on the gallery. I tried Hide It Pro - but it seems not to be stable.
Any help
Thanks
Just use a different gallery. I recommend Quick Pic, it's really fast and blows the stock gallery out of the water and it's less than 500 kilobytes in app size. Also, file hide pro will work with quick pic, but since Quick Pic is awesome, it does not need file hide pro, cause it has built in album/picture hider.
Check out "QuickPic"

Hi,
Thanks - but as i stated in question - I would like a solution for the stock gallery and not another 3. part app
Add a file called .nomedia to the folder and it will hide the pictures

YES - but it will also hide the content from music player - as I also written in my post .............................but thanks
This may not be very convenient for you but you can move the things you want to hide onto your laptop ?

Nope other than creating a folder with name starting with a '.' and putting all the stuff you would like to hide in it (which eventually hides them from music player also) there seems to be no other way to do this especially since you don't want to use third party apps
Been trying to find a good photo folder app since the DNA stock app leaves much to be desired. Any suggestions?
Also looking for a wallpaper setter app that doesn't crop wallpaper. Suggestions
Check out droidiris+
It's a paid app, but it's absolutely brilliant.
It will suffice both of your needs.

Yes got the app great but it takes my 540 x 960 wallpaper and enlarges it. I chose that size because I like it on one screen rather than a scrolling wallpaper, am I making sense??

I'm quite fond of the stock app... What exactly do you dislike about it?
It puts all the photos in 1 folder and doesn't make separate folders. You can't add a wall paper that is full screen, crops it

Ah; I see. I only use it as a gallery. I use other apps for setting my wallpaper, and the only images created by my phone are from the camera - which I would expect to go into a single folder. The folder is sync'd with my desktop (using a great app called FolderSync), and it is there that I will do any post-editing or folder/file management. I essentially use the DCIM folder as just an "incoming photos" and then the gallery app will nicely pull everything in from both it and the folder-managed content.

Oh, and as for the wallpaper setter, try Wallpaper Wizardrii; I've used it in the past to get full-res wallpapers. With the slide show live wallpaper from HTC, I've never really had reason to do static wallpapers anymore.
I do not get a delete icon or a trash can to delete photos.

I was confused by this at first too. When you first open the gallery, you'll see a bunch of pictures - but that is an album view. You need to click on the album and that'll take you in to another view. Once you are in that second view, click and hold on the picture you want to delete and it'll get a checkmark near it. When that happens, you'll see a trash icon at the top right.
Take a look at the screenshots I took to help illustrate:
This is a shot of when I first launch the gallery app
Next, I clicked on the "Camera" gallery
Finally, I clicked & held on the image (or video in this case) in the top right. when I did so, it put a checkmark, and you'll see the trash icon in the upper right (checkmark and trash both circled in red.)
I hope this is helpful.

This. I've used it since it was released and it kills every other Gallery app on the market, including the stock Android one.

Are you trying to delete pictures from picasa albums? If so, you can't do this using the gallery app. If you press the menu button, and go to content to display, you can turn off picasa.
