Is there an app that would turn the gtab into a digital picture frame? I was hoping to find something that could stream pictures from my nas when I am not using it...

you could also put your photos in a folder or up in a folder in picasa and than when you load up the gallery just go to the folder pull up a picture and hit "slideshow"

THANK YOU very much for fining this. I have been looking for something like this for some time now. This works GREAT at the office and would probably work even better for those that aren't supposed to have 'personal' items at work
Interesting. I'm gonna try this out. Is it capable of "streaming" photos from my network? <-- to find out.
Clock App
The included clock app has an optionto play a slideshow, just hit the picture icon.

hello,
I'm searching a app that uses the front camera of the kaiser as a webcam for the kaiser itself, not for my desktop computer, my goal is to chat and webcam when I am in the car, or on holiday, just like a videocall. Is that possible??
thnx
Sorry No Hopes
When i was 2 my Sr. Brother spoiled the fun about Santa before my Mom Tried

yes but that ar both the options I don't mean, because it makes your phone a webcam for your desktop pc, not on the phone itself...
Try Microsoft Portrait.....
Its been around a while, but it works.

This looks like it, but I can't get it to work with my msn messenger...
I have another question... is it possibile to broadcast my webcam over an ip-adress, because then I could watch that cam with a program like ViewCommander. That way I could set up my webcam at home, leave my computer on to broadcast and monitor everyting.

I don't know if you guys are familiar with Winamp but I use it on a everyday basis and wondering would there ever be an app that can access the server to connect to my phone
God I would love that app.
Or better yet, a remote for Songbird.

I agree, i use winamp very frequently, and would love to control it remotely. The only way i can thing of is via some sort of web front end. Search the plugins on the winamp site and tell us if you find anything of value.
I looked but many of them seemed unsuitable.
Try the BrowseAmp plugin for Winamp.

Nah we're looking for a winamp remote CONTROL, a bit like how gmote works, except specific to winamp as gmote seems to launch its own player and i'd prefer to be able to contol winamp using a normal app.
its possible to do it using the andriod-vnc-viewer, but its not that easy, gonna check out browse amp and then edit the post
Edit:
Tried BrowserAmp, Wow, its badass. http://www.thasler.org/index.html

Hello everyone.
I was adding some files to the Galaxy S. Now I want some of them to be hidden so that they do not show in gallery or video player (incase of videos) for everyone and I can make them visible when I want them. Is it possible? If yes can someone please tell how to go about it or is there any app for it?
Regards
keep a blank file with the extension .nomedia in the folder that you want to exclude from media scanning..
You could also use "Vaulty Free" app that moves selected images and videos into a virtual vault which then requires a password to open and view. This also ensures that they do not show up in gallery and video player.
Hope this helps.
put the files you want to be hidden in a folder, and put a dot '.' before the name, like this:
.folder
this will hide it if you have, 'show hidden files' unchecked in options

I tried vaulty free. It looked to be a good app which would do the job but somehow when I locked videos through vaulty free they showed as "Images" in the vault! which wouldnt play. Also it took quite some time for 1 video too be transfered which was about 40 mb. So I guess it would take too much time if the quantity and size is large.

I had known about the nomedia trick but it displayed the files in the "my files" option. Adding a . before the name looks promising.
When done with nomedia file I guess it would solve the purpose. Would have to try this combination.
Thanks for the help folks.

The default action when you login to Vaulty is to display the stored images. Click Menu --> Videos to see and play the videos. Yes it does take a long time to transfer large videos.

Did that but it doesnt show anything when "videos" is selected and when images is selected files are show but they dont play!
Strange!! It works for me perfectly. I am assuming that you are able to play those videos outside vaulty using the stock video player.
How did you add the videos to vaulty?
The way I added is while the video was playing in the stock video player --> Menu --> Share Video --> Vaulty Free.
The only issue I have with Vaulty is I can play only one video at a time after which I will have to reenter the password.

Hmm yeah that is strange indeed. The videos work fine in the stock player but arent recognised in the vaulty free. It may work again if I reinstall the app but I will first try the other method as I would have large no. of files and adding them with Vaulty would take much time and as you just said it wont help if I have to enter the pass again and again after watching each video!

Exactly. Thats looks easy and fast and I would be trying it 1st and hopefully it will do the job!
Running Vegan 5.1 and would like to keep photos on the internal memory rather than the external due to the loss of media files/.nomedia issue. Gallery doesn't seem to be finding anything on the internal memory and I don't see any way to modify where it looks for photos.
Any suggestions?
I load all my pics on Flickr and use flickr companion to view them all.
I know it's not exactly what you are looking for but an option. and less space on your Gtab taken up.
Try Just Pictures! I have found it to be one of the better gallery apps and it's free.

Thank you! Getting this for my phone now, as well. I loved when Sense would load Facebook, but after switching to CM6.1 I lost that feature. Looks like I'm going with Just Pictures! all around now!
Wow, you guys are right! I actually had downloaded it (JustPictures) earlier today but didn't spend enough time with it (I had downloaded several and didn't see anything I liked initially).
On a deeper look, this thing is fantastic! Thanks!!
It even has the ability to disable a .nomedia folder so it can view the files in those folders!
This app is awesome!

I'm an active flickr user and can't get slideshows to work in landscape on the g tab.
It works in portrait but I get the "!" in landscape. Does flickr companion do slideshows?

Does thus feature disable the "protective qualities" of .nomedia as well(please say no!)?

I haven't had the problem that people have been describing (deleting media not in the .nomedia folder), so I can't say for sure. Only way to test it is for someone who is to give it a shot and report back.
I'll be releasing a free and paid version of this as soon as the SDK is finalized. The paid version will feature a higher limit on the amount of photos you can cast, customizable timing between photos, more image transitions, and perhaps control over the slideshow itself.
Cool! I will definitely be picking up a picture app as soon as the SDK allows. And I'm sure I am not the only one looking forward to casting their photos to their TV.
Will you be able to pause, skip, back up, zoom etc?
Also, any plans to allow multiple users to create a shared queue from separate phones ... like the YouTube app allows?
Working on controlling the slideshow now. Then I'll be working on adding photos to the slideshow from the same device. I'll look into a shared queue, that's a good idea. Thanks!
Definitely keep us informed on your progress. I like the ability to flick through pictures on the phone and mirroring it on the TV. Is this a function that your app will have exclusive or is it an ability the stock gallery has as well?
Good news and bad news Scott:
The bad news is that flicking through the photos at the end had no effect on which image was shown, they were just in the same order because I set that album to cast. I apologize for making that unclear in the video. However, in the final version, slideshow control will be in the notification dropdown (4.1+ required), or from a controller app.
The good news is that the app you see in the video is the stock gallery. The app I wrote simply adds the Chromecast as a "share to" option at the top. That means that you will have the ability to cast any image system-wide, as long as it has a share button with it.
Why not just use tabcasting with Google+? It's free and you can create whatever album you want.

Tabcasting doesn't work from android.

This is great stuff but I hate being force to select the pictures before chromecasting. I would want this to work just like the native gallery app but with Chromecasting in that I bring up the gallery and select to cast. Then I can flip through pictures and if I stop on one for more then 1 sec (configurable) then it will cast that photo. This was I can flip through pictures casting them on the fly...
I'm looking forward to seeing this app released. Being able to cast the gallery is something I definitely have been looking forward to.

This would require a rewritten "Gallery" app, adding swipe listeners and whatnot. I'm just trying to keep it simple. My app doesn't show up in the app drawer, it's treated more like an extension of Android. I do appreciate your feedback though, it's a great idea. Maybe someone will pick it up.
Wouldn't it be prudent to expect that most, if not all, gallery and slide show apps to have a Chromecast button in the future?
