I was wondering is there an app that lets you view photos similiar to astro file manager, that shows small photo icons at the bottom when u are looking at another photo, and that also lets you rotate the picture by making half circles or whatever on the screen?

When i choose jpg files from gallery, they are not full screen. Gallery crops the images to make wallpaper.
When i use add/ wallpapers/wallpaper galery or just galery, they are fullscreen.
But i have more pics in my sdcard.
Why if i choose from gallery they are cropped and not not quality?
How can i add my pics to gallery menu. Add/wallpaper/gallery.
Where are these pics are stored?
Don't know how to answer to some of your questions, but try Wallpaper set and save from market, it's very simple, but works.

I downloaded a 1280x800 wallpaper on Google images but when I go into gallery and press set picture as the picture is way to big and I can't fit the box around the picture..
Download Wallpaper Slideshow from Market. Use a file explorer program like ES or Root Explorer and make a folder called wallpapers. Move your wallpapers into that new folder and use the program to point into that folder. That should fix your problem.

i can't find the app I searched for wallpaper gallery on the market but couldn't find it
Grab a copy of wallpaper wizard from the market. I had the same frustrations as you before I found it but now life is good

I found out about this recently
I found those programs to slow down the xoom a lot. Scrolling through homescreens goes jerky etc.
In the end I wrote my own livewallpaper that just sets a completely static image as the background at full resolution without any cropping. When you turn in portrait it uses the center third of the image.
I think the issue with the other apps is on every frame update they appear to reload the image so it is acutally doing full screen animation but with the same image all the time. I made my wallpaper only reload the image when the orientation changes.
It's pretty buggy at the moment as if you load a massive image it will force close due to lack of memory. Also the wallpaper picture doesn't reload until you change orientation. If I get time to sort these bugs I'll put it up on the market.

Widget size and gallery pics questions
1 - Is there any way to make the widget bigger to fill the 5 column screen? I can use Spare Parts app to make the program screen fit the note screen, but what about the widgets?
2- I noticed that after installing CWM, I can not see any pics stored on my USB storage section via gallery, not sure is this from the CWM or not, but I did 2 reboots and saw the media scanning is on and completed but can see any pics stored on USB storage and must be moved to sdcard (not the external, I dont have one) to be seen in gallery
Stock widgets can be resized by long-pressing then releasing. You will see a grid and you can drag the bottom right corner to any cell.
I use ssLauncher and it allows you to resize any widgets, although some stock widgets are not there and some do not behave well. It also allows movement / sizing almost to the pixel if you wish (20 pixels is default).
As for the images not showing up, look in the main memory area for a file named .nomedia (preceding period, no extension). It may be hidden, and it may be in a lower directory. This prevents the media scanner from searching that folder and any child folders.

Yes I know this, but they are not stock widgets, they are installed apps widgets.

I know this file , people added it to prevent pics from shown in gallery, Even I took a video and it did not shown in gallery!!!
I did not added, but when I looked for it Found it in (application-->SMemo) in 4 different folders, I deleted all of them but still can not see my pics in gallery and each time I reboot the phone 2 of these nomedia files come back in application-->SMemo?
Please Guys I still have the gallery problem, any pics added in usb storage does not show up on gallery
I don't know how to resolve your problem but I find quickpic gallery to be much better than stock and you can specify which folders you want to be visible.
1. All stock widgets are not resizable, few of it can resize in stock.
2. Replied at your other thread
Hello,
Has anyone experienced a problem trying to set a wallpaper in portrait orientation from QuickPic? In my case, if I browse the gallery in QuickPic, find the picture and try to use the HTC Gallery (Sense 5.5, Android Revolution HD 53), it simply doesn't open. If I try to use QuickPic itself, it only allows me to crop using a fixed landscape cropper.
Please give me some ideas how to get rid of this annoyance.
Thanks!

Yeah. I get the same thing. Unfortunately I think it's an issue with QuickPic. I think its default is to assume that the homescreen is to use scrollable wallpaper, so when you swiped through your different homescreens the wallpaper would shift along with it. That's how it was on my previous phone (HTC Inspire). And it's not actually setting it to landscape by rotating the dimensions. It's setting the width at 2x the screen size. The screen dimension of my Inspire was 480x800. If I wanted to use scrollable wallpaper, I would choose an image 960x800.
Since the m7 doesn't use scrollable wallpaper in the stock launcher (and I don't think there's an option to turn that on, but I could be wrong), QuickPic kinda screws that up. So it's better to use the stock Gallery app to set wallpaper. It will set the correct aspect ratio with the crop tool. Open the Gallery app, find the pic you want to use then set as Wallpaper (not QuickPic Wallpaper). Or you can go into System Settings>Personalize>Wallpaper, Select Wallpaper from Gallery.
On a related note, some 3rd party launchers allow you to set the wallpaper to be a single screen or scrollable. I use Go Launcher and if I have it set to single screen, I can use QuickPic to set the wallpaper and it sets the crop tool with the proper portrait aspect ratio.
Thanks, sharksfan7! I figured it might be something of the sort. I'll send a note to the QuickPic developer, maybe he/she will be able to sort this in a future update.

However, that brings me to my second question: the stock Gallery app does not open if I browse to the pic in QuickPic and try to set it as a "Wallpaper". Any idea what might be causing this? Anyone?

Noticed that as well. Again, probably a QuickPic issue. If you have Google+ installed you'll probably see a "Wallpaper" option using Google Pictures in that Set As list as well. If I select that, the whole thing just crashes.
If you go directly into the Gallery when you want to set wallpaper it works as it's supposed to.

Strangely after reading this, I went to QuickPic to have another go at setting a wallpaper and the 'crop box' was in portrait mode! Either coincidental or random update or I just chose the right picture!!
Hi everyone - on all my previous Galaxy phones I could add Direct Contacts widgets to my homescreen. I would get a small photo of the person whose contact it was, and then if I tap that picture, I have the option to call, text, etc.
Since switching to my S23, when I create that widget in Contacts it creates a shortcut with a photo, but in the lower right corner of the photo is a small orange (or blue if its the google contacts app) "contacts app" icon to show which app the widget came from.
It looks bad and covers up a chunk of the person's contact photo. It only started happening when I switched photos and I cannot figure out why or how to get rid of the little icon superimposed on the contact photos.
Anyone know what I can do? Thanks
Install Mad Contacts?
no way to somehow disable that app icon? is that new somehow? cant figure out why it didnt happen in the past and only started now.
in fact some of the contact shortcuts I imported when I switched phones still retain that look but any new ones I add have the icon...
