[Q] photo gallery + drop box - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Everytime, I reflash or lose everything on my galaxy s, I have to punch in my gmail account details, and every time in my photo gallery there would a a "folder" called drop box. I do not really remember if I did create a drop box account, but yet there seems to be photo there. Is there any where I would be able to check my settings for my dropbox account?
Piccasa also shows up and I know that is linked to my google stuff.. but is drop box linked to google as well? Because I tried to log into dropbox.com using my google account and it says that there is no such account yet, my gallery shows a picture, I supposedly put into drop box?

It's probably a folder on you SD card with a picture in it and the media scanner has found it and the gallery displays it.

Yeap just checked.. the folder was named dropbox and it was on my picasa account of all places.. sorry to have wasted xda's time.

Help

[Q] How to edit Share Menu in Android 2.2?

Hey all,
I'm new to Android and tried searching the web and here and found nothing.
Is there any app I can download that will allow me to edit the Share menu?
I have a bunch of apps that came with my Galaxy S that I don't use because I replaced them with better apps (i.e, Samsung email, default SMS app) but they continue to populate in the share menu.
This is driving me crazy. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

i have the same q.?
bump. you guys get it figured out? i have the same issue and posted in another forum asking the same thing. you can keep an eye on it there too in case they answer first. (i am bmoons on that one)
it wont let me link over there yet but its on android forums dot com
This is a known problem.
I think the way the apps appear in the menu is their manifest xml includes details that allow gallery to draw the details as opposed to them pushing their details into an editable menu.
So, delete the apps with something like super manager (rooted).
funny thing is i used titanium backup to uninstall the stock twitter app and its still there. some of those apps dont even have options. i use an app that downloads youtube videos and its in the share menu for some reason. i tried it on a video i recorded to see if maybe it would upload to my account and it doesnt do anything.
i hope they fix it. i dont like that picasa is an option but not even loaded on the phone anywhere that i can find. havent gone in with a root explorer. mostly because i know i will get cocky and delete stuff and ruin the phone
There's an app for that... almost
Andmade Share gives you a configurable Share item where you can edit what appears in its sub-menu. Second-best to what the OP requested, but better than nothing.

Replacement gallery.apk to enable picasa sync

Hey everyone,
so I was unhappy with the fact that I could not sync my Google+ albums to my Gallery app. Somewhere on the web I found another thread supplying a version of the gallery that needed to replace the original one (using Root Explorer and a little bit of fiddling I think), which worked great and I was happy.
Two days ago my phone was stolen though, and I'm currently setting up the new one - for the life of me I can't find the modified gallery.apk again though, and/or the thread showing where to get it and how to replace it to get Picasa sync back.
So does anybody here happen to know what I'm talking about and give me a hint on where to find the .apk and how to replace it to get Picasa sync back?

[Q] Dropbox Question.

Hi.
I like the idea of auto upload camera shots into Dropbox and am going to use that from now on. I just have some questions if someone can answer them?
1. My main problem at the moment is that I cannot get rid of some of the photo's in DBox. Every time I delete them on my PC they reeload from somewhere. I then go back to my phone and they sync up too. I can't find the source from where they are coiming. Are they on my phone syncing to my PC or are they on my PC syncing to my phone? I can't delete them on my phone as it doesn't have that option, only to share or refresh.
I had a lot of Zoe files/pics and CTRL - A deleted them all, about 500 of them but these 45 or so won't go away. does anyone have any ideas?
2. I see with the new update that when you sync to DBox using a Zoe now it only gives you that first still, is this the way it was meant to be? I had read somewhere that it would upload the 3 second clip and the first still photo. Am I mistaken there?
3. Although I haven't tried it yet, does longer video sync with DBox automatically?
If anyone has the inside info I'd be really grateful for your time and ideas.
Hope that's not too much, thanks in advance, Ste.

duplicating pictures from message app

Hello all,
Found a really strange thing.
I sent a picture from the stock message app ( also on t-mobile) . when I delete the picture from the gallery, it deletes the picture from the camera folder, but then adds the picture into a picture folder.
I have tried deleting the picture folder, but it keeps coming back and duplicating the images. I have tried this on all 3 of our Note 5's and it does it to all of them.
I have not been able to find a setting to turn this off, or a reason why it does it.
Anyone else know about this ?
Noticed that too, seems that itll create a separate folder with all the picture messages you send via text
Yeah, this is annoying. It's really one of the only gripes I have about the phone that I can't figure out. I don't want to use another gallery app and I don't want to root. Not sure how to fix it.
I hate this so much does anyone know how to fix it?

You just need to look at the camera album instead of using the time view.
That doesn't work.
Is this happening to anyone else or just some people?

Gallery problem mixing all photos in Camera Roll

Im having a problem WITH the gallery and is that when i receive a pic from let's say a whatapps group chat, it appears in the camera roll of the stock camera. Is there a walk around or fix to this?
Maybe change the gallery for another?
In the s7 this doesnt happens.
Thanks for the help
I'm facing the same issue, whole gallery is messed up. I have thousands of pictures neatly sorted in different folders and gallery mixes them all up together and shows them in date order, absolutely the last thing i want.
post a fix if you find one.
Bump
anyone having this problem?
not having this problem.
Are you guys using "Albums"?
pictures or events will go by date
albums will be by folder A-Z and in each photo it will be by date

No dont use it. But i use other apps and there photos either go into a folder download or its labelt with the apps name.
So it could be a problem with whatsapp downloading into the dcim folder.

Oh ok i think i get what your saying.
You go to gallery and its in WA alone with your camera folder download etc...
But when you open the camera app and scroll through the pictures. You see all your folders mix in by date?
VS only whata in the camera folder?

Exactly. in the s7 you will see only the pics taken not every pic by date
Yea i just tested that out.
I dont remember it doing that on the s7 edge.
It probably has to do with the new camera app.
If enough peopke submit it to samsung via online chat or calling then. They will end up fixing it.
Simply tell then its a Security risk.
I remember they updated the s7 edge. Befor you could doble tap to open camera. Take a picture then view the other pictures in the camera phot.
When they updated it it has a lock screen and wont let you view the other photos until you unlock the phone.

Is gallery part of Samsung software or is it part of Android?

gallery is android but the camera app is sumsung.
And the problem is the way they are talking to each other.
but both app start from the basic android code so its possible they coded the gallery different, but most of the time the gallery remands the same and the camera app is the only one that gets change.
I remember pull camera app from different phones long ago.
When you open gallery, it defaults to show all pics together, from all different folders, sorted by date. Now, inside gallery you can choose albums tab, that shows it properly in folders, but when camera access gallery, you dont get album option anymore and it's a mess. It's gallery issue, I don't like the way it works now, but I guess I would have to be rooted to install older version? And we don't have root yet, SUCKS.
