Seems like such an easy thing to do but I'm having trouble figuring it out, I'm trying to organize my pictures a little bit better and I heard everyone raving about quickpic. My question to everyone is theres gotta be a way to create not just an album but be able to create a folder so I can stick albums together and organize them a little bit better rather than having 40 different albums. Learning out to do albums was really convenient and very nice but now that I have so many albums I need to organize them a little bit more so there a way I can stick them into groups? Thanks everyone for any and all feedback

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to the wonderful world of Android with only a couple of days with my Dell Streak. There a couple of things that I'm trying to get used to but the native photo view is not one of them, I really don't enjoy swiping through masses of pictures from all sorts of folders. The album arts, old photo's and new photo's all mashed together into this time line thing.....anyway of viewing pictures via folders?
If anything, coming from an HD2, I thought Resco Photo Manager was an awesome app, not only was it good at viewing pictures, it also allowed me to edit pictures easily (actually draw on rather than sticking clip art onto) with a good zoom while doing so too, nice layout and folders for different pictures finished off with the ability to upload pictures to facebook all in one. So the question is....is there an Android app out there that is very similar to the Resco Photo Manager program?
I've tried AnDrawing but I can only zoom in a little and when I do so, the image becomes really really blurred even though it shouldn't as it's a high res image.
Any advice would be much appreciated!!! Thanks!!!
Sorry; in the sameboat with you!
I know how you feel, I too used to love Resco pro on my touch hd, the editing features were brilliant. I've been looking for an equivalent for my streak but have found nothing that matches it yet. I use my phones as photo viewers quite a lot and hate the way the built-in viewer displays the photos as a timeline because when I got it I downloaded all of my favorite pics -about 1500- it thinks they were all taken on the same day, searching through them is painful.
If you like editing your pics, I like Colour-Up but it's limited to the one function, you can get some good results with it though. Photoshop.com Mobile is pretty lame and more limited than the built-in editor. As for detailed drawing/editing, I've found nothing yet. I'm not sure but I'm sure I heard Resco were developing for android, but don't take my word for it!

Adobe Photoshop Express in the market. Don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for.
There's also Picsay available, both it and Photoshop have good editing features but Picsay has a better file/open system. Neither of them are photo managers though.
Nope, photoshop is no good; it also mashes all pictures into one giant lump, and then to add insult to injury, has no zoom, and displays the highest Rez pictures like they are candid pics snapped with a cctv. Avoid like the plague!

Well since i update it to 2.1 the pictures are grouped into the folder i have put them into and i dont mind. lol but i know what you mean loved Resco.. i hope resco make a android app hehe
the program is pretty good but i have a problem. i wanne change the backround image from my homescreen with that programm but it doesnt changes the spb mobile 3.5 backround...and in spb i just cant change 480x800 as backround
Hi,
I liked how the gallery app syncs with picasa straight away, but it doesn't give me access to my 'favorites'. My wife uploads our baby pictures to her web albums and she is a 'favorite' so i can easily view pics via pc. it would be great to somehow access her web album by phone. seems like it shouldn't be difficult to do, but i haven't figured it out.
does anyone know whether it can be done? if so, how? if not, can someone recommend a good alternative?
thanks!
Not sure if this will help as I manage my photos on picasaweb a very specific way. Once I've uploaded pics to Dropbox, I go to picasaweb on my laptop, go to my Dropbox album....click on edit....then Organize And Reorder....
From here I select or CTRL select multiple images, and MOVE them to another folder or an existing folder...that folder then appears in the Gallery as a seperate picasa folder. This method can get a bit unwieldly if you have TONS of folders on picasaweb, because they ALL will display in Gallery. But if your careful to organize well this seems as good a way as any..Only takes a minute or so to do unless your moving tons of pictures around....Hope the idea helps..
thanks. that might be worth a try.
i was really hoping for something a bit more automated since my wife usually takes care of the photos. seems duplicative to have two sets of the same web album, but if that's the only way...
thanks again!
Well, I have looked at all the 10, 20 101 and THE best app webpages from searches on google... I have looked at all the posts here that include words like photo, gallery, picture, viewer, album.....
Lots of hours spread over a handful of days just looking for one app. here is what I am looking for:
I am looking for a simple app, that kinda works like Gallery, maybe even with the interface of 'Photos' from iPhone. It should be fairly easy to use, few controls on the screen, and allows me to specify which folders to look in for photos, much like "PowerAMP" allows you to specify folders to look into for music. The reason why the last is important; I have a few games that will from time to time download updates and part of those updates are assets like texture files, music files, sound files for effects, and short video clips (Gameloft games are the ones to blame for this). I hate how I open Gallery and it shows me ALL files with a compatible file extension.
Can anyone think of an app like this??? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Best one I've found so far: JustPictures!
It's so good that I am using it in place of the buggy gallery app. I think it does all the things that you are looking for as well as another nice function: it will synch with any public Picasa, Flickr, etc gallery. It's like having thousands of pics locally on my phone, except they are all stored in the cloud.
Well, that was it! Perfect! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the recommendation. This app is just what I've been looking for.
Now that I've received my Samung/Google perks ($50/$25) does anyone have any app suggestions for a college student? Or maybe just cool recreational apps?
What I currently use my Gnote14 for:
- Taking notes
- Reading pdfs, annotating pdfs
- Reading textbooks
Recreational use:
- Editing photos
- Uploading pics to social sites
Snote bombed for me as I was really hoping it would be like the old one. Now I have to find a replacement. I've been put on to Lecture Notes, but has anyone purchased the Pro version and is it worth the purchase? I didn't see an importing pdf option for that one.
I used to do a lot of photo editing before I decided to go back to school (9 year break) so I'm pretty much out of the loop in terms of updated photo editing apps. I'd like to start using my Note to start editing again and use for class projects, any suggestions? I used to use Photoshop Touch but not sure if there is anything better out there.
Thanks for your suggestions, I appreciate it.

For notes use S-notes or Lecture Notes.
For reading annotating pdf's, ezpdf.
For reading textbooks ezpdf.
For editing photos snapseed or pixelr express. Photoshop Touch and Picasa are also good options. I prefer simplicity.
To upload pics just use the official social media site.
You can import pdfs on s note and lecture notes. Lecture notes handles it better but I prefer s notes pen tools like handwriting to text and all the diff pen customizations

Hey there, I've had an android phone knocking around for some time but only recently started really using it. The main reason I need it is to organize my self, my work and life.
So with this in mind I went and got Any.do and such apps but as I downloaded opened and discarded them I started to find that they all seem to run into the same grave limitations. I have a room full of lists on bits of paper and what I want is to keep them on my phone. But the apps I try offer the option of creating a list and that's it, about 70% of them I discarded because you cant even change the order of the items in the list which is useless to me as i need to write them in priority.
The next problem is that apps such as Any.do which is the best I've found so far can create folders such as work and play and then one long list of everything i will ever need to do at work. I have many tasks to do at work and those tasks consist of other lists of tasks and so on. For example I need to sort out transport up north for a group of people to do a job so I have a work list with the current jobs on it and on it is this job's name, on another bit of paper iis a list of things i need to do for this Job. One of the things I need to do is sort the van out so under fix the van is another list of things I need to do to fix the van, in that list amongst other things in insurance, so i have another list of things to do to get the insurance.
This is how it all works, breaking big tasks down into smaller and smaller tasks till life is all clear and doable. One folder labeled WORK with all these things listed is useless. Great for doing the shopping or organizing a party but no good for organizing your life unless your life is painfully simple.
Because the method of lists within lists is so old and simple and suited to an app I presumed they'd all be able to do it but I cant seem to find one anywhere and I've been at it for a while but then I can barely turn the thing on. So please anyone who knows where to look or what I'm doing wrong I'd appreciate some guidance.

sorry, but you are searching for an notes app, am i right?
i suggest you to try google keep, easy to use, reorderable, you can set alarms and its in the google enviroment.. so it is synced between devices and browser
.. or ask the nsa for help, if you forgot something
I'm searching using the terms: Organization, to do list, Productivity and things like this to try and find an App to help organize into one orderly document of easily assessable lists of what I have to do.
Google Keep is another one that you can make lists in but the list's can not reference each other so you can list everything you have and need to do and buy and so on but you can not group or nest the lists beyond the first level much like the other apps I've seen. You can list WORK,HOLIDAY,SHOP,PARTY and then within the WORK list you can list NORTHERN JOB, FRANK'S, TAX RETURNS. But then that's it. You cant list anything inside TAX RETURNS. It's to basic to organize anything beyond odd jobs and the shopping.
It is one of the ones that is reorderable as in you can move the order of items in the two lists and synchronizing and alarms and all that is fine but I just really need a simple but effective app that allows me to create lists to organize what I have to do and in what order.
I guess I can do it by using folders inside folders with names on them for jobs but it seems like a hell of a work around. Be easier to just live with all my bits of paper but I'm sure there are apps out there to organize things in a little more depth than things like Google keep, I'm sure just not looking in the right place? Anyone?
