Hello,
four days ago, the gallery in secure folder removed the option to move the pictures out to the normal gallery.
Do you have the same problem?
Where can I report the problem to Samsung?
Yep same. It just happened to me today and I am unable to get them out... Not sure wth happened but that option is gone!?!
Same thing happened to me. I figured it out.
They updated so you cant move pictures from the gallary app, on the secure folder menu u have to chose my files then images and the hold the picture u want to move out and press move out of folder.
Well that's a bunch of pull.... moving it.... just another step to do

I hated when Android made the move to the 3d gallery. Anyone know where I can get the old version, and if replacing the current gallery will work with it?
I'm hunting down old roms and backups on my external hd now.... curious if others have replaced the 3d gallery.
Please give input!
I found this from CM 5.0.7... which I think is not the 3d gallery. Will wait till I hear from others before I go replacing..... I'm thinking if I use root explorer and move the stock gallery to my sd (for a backup) and drop this is system/app I should be good to go after a reboot... thoughts?
EDIT: SUCCESSFULLY REPLACED THE CALENDAR (IN MY STICKY THREAD), BUT NO DICE WITH THE GALLERY... NO .ODEX FILE I GUESS? WAS NOT SHOWING IN THE APP LIST. SORRY FOR THE CAPS, JUST DIDNT WANT PEOPLE GOING CRAZY WITH THE ATTACHED FILE.
i say do it
i been replacing everything in my vibrant*de-t-mobiled*
just dont delete the file you replace so if it doesnt work just move it back into system/apps folder you wont know till you try hell i bricked my phone once now know how to not do what i had done last time.
please wait 2 seconds for an uncompressed image, or press Ctrl+F5 for original quality page
I guess this would work if I flashed a deodexed stock rom.... anyone know how to swing this stock?
I cant let this die... suggestions?
Correct me if Im wrong but couldnt you just download a G1 rom running 2.1 or 2.2. Most of these roms have BOTH the old Gallery and the new Gallery installed.
This is how I would go about doing it as I like the Picasa functionality of the new gallery. It would just seem better to have both giving you a choice of better image quality on zoom in the old gallery and Picasa integration in the new gallery.
Should just be able to decompile the APK for the old gallery and rename it to Gallery2d or what not, change the icon and you're set.

You should be able to look at how this was done in Chromatic

Im really not big on the 3D gallery either, and thats mainly because 1) i had a mytouch and a mt3gs so it wasnt the smoothest... 2) i have certain directories thats are "private" and its not cool having them popup with mutliple pics.. haha
But on the Vibrant there was so much good to the phone that it outwieghed the gallery thing. Id like a 2D gallery, but I like the Picasa integration too and also wonder how the Camera would get involved with a 2D gallery.

This is a simple fix. Because you are using android you can hide folders in the same way that you do on any Linux system. Simply open your file manager, Astro should work well for this, find the folder of shameful pics, choose to rename it and simply add a period "." to the beginning of the folder name. So if the folder was called shameful-pics the new folder name would be .shameful-pics.
Now that your folder is hidden, the gallery should not pick it up. If you want to view the images simply open Astro back up and brows to that folder and use the Astro photo viewer to see the pics.
I have a problem.... i loaded Android and it is good, a couple of cons but all great but on return to windows mobile i found that my pictures on the pic tab had 99 photos... All i could see was android pictures etc. these pictures were not photos that i tould but the thumbnails from android. On my sd card i have a DCIM folder and in there i have my windows mobile pictures that i have taken. Also in the there is a folder called .thumbnails
I new this must come from android beacuse in the root of the sd card is a . files...
Anyway, i moved this thumbnail folder to the root of sd and started android. everything was as it is... i turn off then on, loading windows.... and check photos tab... still there...look in file explorer... it created it self a new one.
The problem i have is that it clogs it up and slows it down while i am scrolling through for a picture.
IS there any way to fix it?
HD2
Android 2.2 (if needed)
Cookies home tab editor (again if needed)
IF THERE IS ANY THING ELSE TELL ME....
Is this in the right forum?

i just want to know of there is a gallery 3D for Windows mobile
If is it would be great. If not... there's an idea
hi, i encountered the same issue, still figuring how to fix it too...
now all in the picture tab on hd2 wm sense, are the thumbnail pics from the android.
initially, i thought the sdcard was corrupt, but i found the .thumbnail folder in the dcim folder on the sdcard... and all the photos are still intact.
anyone can help?
Using HTC Album, browse to the folder you wish to see as your default and then from the Menu within HTC Album, set it to be default view in Sense(not sure of exact wording or menu order but I know this is possible as I've done it.
thanks for the reply, base on your reply, i managed to search for another solution,
http://www.jayceooi.com/2010/02/08/how-to-hide-folders-with-pictures-from-htc-album/
the above link shows how to hide folders within the dcim folder from htc ablum
both which i had not try, will try both later when i'm back in winmo.
hope either one solves the issue.

well using what you have told me i have found the steps you are talking about...
you go to htc sense picture tab and press album. from there you press albums on the left.
it then comes up with a list of pictures folders etc, choose the folder you want (if you had it like me it would be 100media . then click on it.... choose menu a click use this album as favourite...etc.
there you go no android pics clotting up your htc
if you go through the "leo tips and tweaks" thread it will give you the reg entrys to ignore certain folders from the htc album......
i usually just delete that folder once a week to stop it building up and up...
I'm just wanting to add a few additional albums to the gallery so I dont have just one massive folder...how can I do that?
Add an album to your SD card and it'll show up in the gallery.
I tried doing that recently cause that's what someone else told me but it never showed up...exactly where do I put it?
Anywhere on the SD, on the root or in any other folder. Sometimes your gallery will automatically scan for new media and it'll show up, sometimes it'll be a day or so before it'll show up. I don't know how to get it to search manually, there may be a setting if you hit the menu button while in the gallery. There is an app called SD rescan (I think that's the name) but it takes forever.
Thanks for the info, I'll try again
Still no joy, I put the folder in 2 separate places and it still isn't showing. I'm at work but will post where I put them later today.
Maybe try a reboot to see if that will rebuild the library, or download and run SD rescan
Hello all I rooted again recently after getting the 3 XX update from verizon.
and now that im rooted I cant get gallery to see any images in any folder except what is now taken with camera app.
any ideas.
restarted phone, cleared cache, restarted app, shut down phone and turned back on, tried different camera apps, different gallery apps....... all with same result that it will not see any of my pictures or videos I took before rooting or see any images in any other folder.
so im lost as to what to do to fix it.
Rom is OTA plus rooted is all.... nothing else was changed.
Im still a newbie but I know enough and i cant figure it out.
cheers all.
If I remember correctly, the files are stored in a different place in 4.2,2 then in 4.1.2. Do some searching to find the folder, and move your pictures there

ive tried moving folders and files..... but the issue is that the pics i have are in the same folder as the 1 pic i took once rooted..... so they are in the same folder. its like the gallery wont see anything else but what is taken from the camera now.
just stuck as to why its doing that..... had pics be seen in other folders before. i even have another folder on the root of the phone, well emulated sd card.... called Pics and it does not see those either.
noticed though that the camera does see the pics i took before but when i open the gallery to view those pics they are not there.
even booted into hboot and bootloader then restarted and still nothing.
oh and also i was already on 4.22 stock from verizon..... had some pics and a vid i took.... then rooted and now can't see pics and vid i took before I rooted.
found an answer i think
Ok think i figure out the issue.
the pictures i had on my device were not in a folder that the gallery app recognizes by default, so it was a naming issue and location issue. I moved the old pics taken with my camera before rooting to the folder labeled "Camera" and now the gallery an see all my images.
Before pics were in the folder named Camera....and now they are in a folder named 100MEDIA... very strange but happy it all ok now.
hope my issue helps someone sort out a problem if they ever have that issue like i did.
cheers all
hello dear members,
i tryed to get rid of the .thumbnails folder (found on internal Storage - DCIM) because its that huge (3 GB) and every time i deleate it it slows down my Phone, the ZU gets really hot and that for about 10 minutes and after that the folder is back again containing all my Photos in a smaller version + an huge file that is as big as all the original Photos on my SD-Card. I would be very happy, if the folder would be history.
Does anyone has this Problem too and would help me, please? Thanks :laugh:.

If you use the Album app this will happen. The .thumbnails folder has reduced size images of every .gif, .jpg, .mp4, etc type media file on your phone. Not 100% sure if this works but if you create a file " .nomedia " in directories you don't want to show up it will not cache them. Delete the .thumbnails and reboot, bring up Album (I use QikPic instead) and it will re-cache them.
If you have a rooted phone I believe you can use Titanium Backup to disable the Album process. That will keep it from creating the cache but it will also mean Album won't work.
By the way, I have had an instance where the process was running continually and would never complete. The reason turned out to be a corrupted file. I had to go through thousands of pictures to find the one causing the issues. If you see a file that doesn't have a thumbnail that's a likely candidate.

By removing this folder, your gallery would have black squares and with no chance at getting any ideas about what was what. You can delete the folder, but it'll come right back again once you open your gallery. It's not possible to permanently remove it. The problem here is that you have way too many photos on your Ultra.
I have 279 thumbnails which uses 86MB. You must have thousands of photos, so there's nothing wrong with that folder, it's the amount of stuff you have in your gallery that is the problem. Time to clean it!

Yes, that's the media_scanner running wild. But no wonder it takes several minutes to scan when he has thousands of photos on his phone. Move them to your Dropbox instead and use that as a gallery when you want to look at them. No caching or thumbs.
ok, i`ve got a solution i think (works for 30 mins right now):
deactivate the Album App under apps
deleate the .thumbnails folder
create a new file whith ES Explorer named .thumbnails
reboot (dunno if necessary)
activate Album again
reboot
open Album, wait 10 minutes
check if the folder is still there, if not its a sucess - (till now...)
