I use an album called quick pic, you can "hide" folders which is handy because there is not a great deal I hate more than having album covers in my pictures folder.
Cannot create new folders though due to 4.4.4 sd write protection
Quick pic is very nice app, but it's really annoying when you have a lot of albums and you have to wait for thumbnails to load each time.

I cant seem to find a hard fact answer, i have androids default gallery and music player.
Using titanium backup you can freeze then try one day, android if nothing happend you can make a backup and deleted
I did that with timescape n moxiermail, never try mediascape butano thats then way you should try

I've been experimenting with deleting certain apps using Titanium Backup.
Having deleted both Timescape and Mediascape completely, everything seems fine, although I cannot test making calls using the stock dialler as I've deleted that in error but use Google Gesture instead to make calls.
Am going to reflash this evening and pay for Titanium so that I can freeze the apps rather than remove.
I Have deleted both Timescape and Mediascape completely. With no problems that i have found..

Confirmed, I did it the same way.
I didn't removed mediascape coz' the stock camera app won't play your vids if you delete mediascape .

I can confirm that.. why delete anyways, just freeze
How to freeze it?
Get titanium backup pro and click on the app, and you'll see the option to freeze...

I just found out one thing you "lose" when removing mediascape, you will not be able to use a picture as a wallpaper as the system uses mediascape for it.
There's a way to workaround it though, you just need to put the picture you wanna set as wallpaper in the etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/android/wallpaperchooser/wallpaper folder and with that you don't need to crop the picture anymore like when you use mediascape...
Easier way to set wallpapers: Use Wallpaper Set and Save from the market (free)
these are all the drawbacks I found when uninstalling MediaScape (lifted from my customizer thread):
MediaScape
apk: mediascape MediaScapePluginManager
Drawbacks:
Camera App is hard-coded to use Mediascape for Gallery/Share.
Vignette Does well but doesn't help in Video mode.
Means: No easy sharing/viewing for taken videos
No easy way to create a wallpaper from taken pictures.
No way to set contact picture from phonebook. Need to go through Gallery3D instead.
I got rid of mediascape once (on 2.1) and the biggest minus for me was that you can't get high quality picture set for contacts in phone book menu; you actually can't set contact pics through regular edit contact menu at all-you have to use stock gallery but as I said no hq pics, just big blur
Free X10!

I was able to navigate to this folder through root explorer, (I am rooted), but how do I drop my pics in the phone's wallpaper folder?
Thanks!
Hello
I'm a noob with a rooted HTC One that I just bought. I have very little experience with rooted phones. Never owned one before and never rooted anything.
My phone is working well except that when I take pictures or video, they disappear. They don't show in the gallery. I can find them in the file system using a file explorer. I cannot make new Gallery folders either. I tried installing 3rd party apps and they don't work either. Maybe the file system did not get properly configured. Is there a way to do a fresh reinstall of the default Gallery app? Or are you aware of a Gallery app that will completely install its own system that might work?
I am on android 4.3.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike
Try quickpic, it's free in the playstore.. Not sure what's going on with your gallery to be honest. But I only ever use quickpic gallery on my phones..

It worked! Great idea. Thanks!
I'm not loving the stock gallery app on the Z2 because of the lack of ability to make folders. So I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for a way to fix this or a better gallery app.

You can use Quickpic, but you won't have X-Reality.

I don't think lack of X-reality is the main problem.
QuickPic is great and can be linked to your camera app too. However, due to KitKat limitations, you won't be able to delete/move/edit pics via QuickPic if images are on microSD.
If you're rooted, then not a problem.

Google's policies for Kitkat are insane, Apple style.

Agreed rooted does bypass the annoying SD issues of Kitkat but devs are already wising up to this. Whilst Quickpic and others can delete,edit etc, some apps already can such as ES File explorer.
i.e. made my SD card the default for the camera. Took some pics. Used Quickpic to view and delete some. It appears deleted but reopen Quickpic and the pics reappear. Strangely enough, even via PC it didnt show all the pics that the phone was showing (nothing hidden etc) however using Es File Exp i was able to delete the unwanted pics.

You need to edit the platform.xml file under system/etc/permissions/ in order for any "USER" app to edit the external SD card.
This is a KitKat issue (not Sony).
Google for instructions.
Another alternative : Gallery Google as on Nexus 5,bonus : you can watch photospheres you made with Google camera from Play Store.
Nice extra to have on your Z2.
The only problem is that it is mixing random pictures in camera folder. There should be a different folder for the pictures taken be the camera.

For large amount of photos and when caching yep.
Great features but lacks the speed of others like quickpic

I only have about 10 photos and one hd video. Could it be because I have changed the read ahead to 2048

Collections?
The other option is just to use Play Memories Collections instead of folders. Yes, this uploads your photos to Play Memories as well, but it does at least allow you to group and categorise the photos on your phone.

There are two apps in playstore, they worked well for me, search for 'nomedia' in playstore
thanks for the help
Again the title says it all thanks for your help everyone
I accidently deleted, and I don't even know how, a stock photo editor, so if somebody could just upload a backup for this apk, or give me a link, i would be most thankfull
Same problem.I install Quick Gallery problem solved....
Thanks, but that's not what I want. I'm looking for the editor that comes with the phone (lg g2 mini), i really liked it, it has some cool features and i'd like it back... And btw, is that editor comes within the gallery app or those two are separate apps?
I think you need google+ app installed to edit pictures in stock.
I know it sounds strange, it's Google making you use their products

It's not necessary.. I've disable G+ app and edit is done with stock gallery app..

There's a world of difference between enabled and installed.
When I uninstall it the editing features are gone, reinstalling brings the feature back.
Thank you very much indeed
