zoe mode allows you to create a nice slideshow from pics you took. in this mode you can also selsect by hand with pic you want to use in the slideshow, and oh surprise, it s still grab picture you didn t selected :/ any idea why?
It does the same on mine aswell.
When you choose "Select Content", how many pictures does it let you choose from?
Mine shows 3/13 so if yours is similar then it could automatically choose everything because there aren't enough images to choose from.

even if you choose 13 pics it ll still pick up some xternal ones to your selection :/
Yeah mine does the exact same thing, and I know two other guys who have the same issue.. One way around it is to view content first in "album view", under "camera shots". Then press and hold the zoe clips you want, select "move to", then create a new folder and transfer the clips you actually want to see there.. Now when you return to "events" you'll see the album you've just created alongside today's events. Just select all the clips in that folder and your done.. It is a shame that you have to go the long way round to do such a simple task though, has anybody heard any info on a possible update to sort this out?

Hello All,
Does any one know of a nice app to lock pictures on your phone ?
Cheers
Steve
what do ya mean, such as not being able to delete those pics?
No, so that other people who pick up my phone do not see some of my pictures.
sorry, i did not make that clear
put the photos in a folder & name it ".private" (or any name but with the dot ".") the folder will be hidden & the album app doesn't scan it for pictures. & whenever you want view the files, just rename it by removing the dot "." from folder name & start the album app... now all those pictures can be viewed.. again if you want to hide them just rename back with the dot. but it takes a couple of minutes for them to be removed from albums automatically.
Hi,
I just want to share my app with community - the app is called SpyCam and it's pretty simple - you can use it for taking pictures using the main camera in predefined interval. The pictures are then saved into Saved pictures folder in Pictures Hub. But what is so unique on this app - it works under lockscreen - that's right, you start the photo shooting, press the on/off button to turn off the screen, plant is somewhere and let it take photos secretly
Note the app must be in foreground when locking using the on/off button to take pictures under lockscreen, it can't work in background.
I tried to put it on Marketplace, but it failed two times because "it appears that this application promotes spying". According to the certification guy it's not allowed in certain countries to have such app. Strangely there is lot of similar apps in MP for recording sound under lockscreen, so I don't know where is the problem.
I had big plans with this app, because the idea of taking pictures under lockscreen is quite tempting, but with the fail during cert process I don't have strength to develop it further. (Skyrim is more important right now I got even somewhere my technology demo based on SpyCam for storing taken pictures on SkyDrive, so it basically works as a live webcam - you can watch what's going on in front of the phone on Internet, but it's not stable enough for general release.
Feel free to use it under condition you wont try to publish similar app on marketplace Let me know, how it works. Note although it's not 100% stable, it should just work most of the time. I'm using there a bit of thread magic to handle all that PhotoCamera callbacks and async calls for taking photos and storing them, so nothing is guaranteed
And one more thing, you just need Mango and regular dev unlock. Interop unlock is not necessary Tested on HTC HD7
Don't hesitate to share it using Twitter or other media
my address: twitter.com/martinsuchan
Edit: uploaded two screenshots
Also my second try in MP used different name for the app: 'myCam', but they rejected it with the same message
Edit: This app does NOT work on WP8 as I have just discovered, it even causes freeze or random reboot!
Good work Sir!
Shame the Marketplace Police have no sense of humour
N3croman
cool app , thanks man. upload in marketplace
Works exactly as you said . I am getting a video done will post it here. Reviewed it on WPXBOX. com However I dont get to understand how to make it work under lock screen. I tried pressing the camera button when locked but nothing happened.
Check out the video here.
Under lockscreen
You need to check the "run under lockscreen" option in settings and then restart the app (press Back button in the main screen and start is again).
Then start the shooting (optionally wait for the first pic to be sure), and then press the on/off button. Now it should take photos in selected time interval.
Note the app must be in foreground when locking using the on/off button to take pictures under lockscreen, it can't work in background.
If you have selected 5s interval wait about 20s and then press On/Off button again, unlock the screen and if everything worked as expected there should be new 3 or 4 pictures
this app is great and cool and has a big potantial
well done (graphics, functionalities...)
ty
but can i wish a request, could you add a feature to enable flash/led on photos? (i know that this make the app less spyfull... but i'd like to keep pics during nighttime, i.e. of my pets while sleeping or to see what i did while dreaming ^^)
fyi
tried on omnia7 interopped latest fw
Thanks. Yes it took me time to realize on this. But loving your app here.
You might think of integrating it with Dropbox or a cloud service to give option to someone to upload it right there. Just an idea

I realize some countries may not allow it, but couldn't you just submit to certain countries?
Rename the app to "Time Lapse Capture" and change the description to be as such. Problem solved
Very good thank you
Awesome app with great potential
As suggested in a previous post I would resubmit as a time-lapse photography app, that's what I have downloaded it for, I will test it while climbing mountains and then relive my route after. What's the chances of of getting a 5 min interval option. Great work don't give up on getting it on the MP pls
Hi,
Your app sounds like a good idea. Will try it.
Don't give up, good luck with the re-submit!
Great app!
Have great protential too bad MS isn't into great apps :-(
Nice app, thanx

Evening all..
So I've had a quick look through the forums, and not really seeing much about this...
I'm finding that the stock album/gallery app, although brilliant, is really annoying me! When you load the app, it shows the "Pictures" tab.. which appears to be ALL images it finds on the device (regardless of '.nomedia' files exising) The thing I'm finding the most annoying about this, is if I send someone a photo on whatsapp, or they send me one, it shows in this pictures tab. So If I take a picture, then send it to someone, it shows up as a duplicate image. A bit frustrating because I like the app!
Has anyone found a way of making it respect .nomedia files? Coming from CM10.1 on my old phone, so used to seeing it all in different folders.. can't remember if they were hidden before or not..
Thanks!

Yeah, I was thinking about where I would store white/blacklists for media if I would be ignoring the tools that have been given to me by Android OS (given the fact that they are ignoring the .nomedia files). As my phone is not rooted I am not able to explore the sqlite databases, but maybe someone with a rooted phone could have a look? It's a long shot, but it's worth trying . I'll be rooting my phone as soon as it's possible without unlocking the BL (and I know I might be waiting for a loooooong while, but it happened with the Motorola RAZR, so I figured as this device is officially unlockable developers might be able to find an exploit sooner?).

First thing I tried, thought maybe I was making the .nomedia file incorrectly. No dice i'm afraid!
.nomedia should work, but it might take a while before the media library does a full rescan. Reboot the phone, connect it to PC and move a file to it, ... Those things could trigger it.

the same thing is annoying me!! i came from s3 and i was using a custom rom with i don't know which album type... i've been looking all over the place for a solution or a way of porting the album from another rom or the phone!! is there any?
I also like the Album application and wish it gets "fixed"
Sony disregarding the ".nomedia" files is weird, since its android's standard way of dealing with media, although the ".nomedia" files are a really bad solution in itself since they provide no configuration options: Either you have media scanned or not (I hate having album covers appearing mixed up with my photos in the gallery, but cannot add a ".nomedia" file since that would make the system not find my music). Adding files with a specific key name in a folder manually is not a user friendly way of managing what folders to scan.
I always wondered why Android does not provide a system level interface to define what media to scan and where.
PS: The N900 provided a file where the scan paths and supported file types could be configured. I feel like android gave a step back in this regard comparing to maemo/meego.
Have you guys find out any way to hide images from Sony album app..?

If you have a folder with pics which you don't wanna see in album app:
create a text file on PC with name .nomedia without content (nothing before the point!). Then move the text file in to this folder.
Hmm or is this only for songs??!^^ you have to try
You can also use apps to hide pics or videos like keepsafe or something.

Aha, ok.
And then you have to delete .nomedia and take it again in? Or doesn't will hide again?
And when you restart?
We have to clear cache of album and media storage everytime to hide images in album app
Ok.. Thx for trying. Then the only thing which we can use is an app..

This super annoys me to. In fact a couple of things annoy me with the app.
Here is my wish list for the Sony Album app.
1. That upon opening, it should start with the "My Albums" tab
2. That there be an option to sort photos other than date.
3. That when I want to select a wallpaper form my album app right from the home screen, I am not bombarded with the whole long list of 5000 photos. It should present me with folders to choose from.
4. If it wants to stick to displaying the "Pictures" tab as default upon opening, it should at least start with displaying only the camera album. Then a small shortcuts to enter all folders at once.
5. If it wants to stick to sorting only by date, it should at least follow the exif data of pictures. Sometimes after flashing a new ROM, I find my taken pictures in wrong orders. Most recent at the bottom and old ones at the top.

I cant get the phone to stop automatically selecting photos it deems highlights from any album on my phone.
I uncheck the highlight from custome albun it was moved to, delete it from highlights album... Within the hour the phone has added it back in.
Please God someone help... This is a GIANT PRIVACY ISSUE
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
If I'm correct it highlights the pictures you click on (view) the most it's not a privacy issue since it doesn't even transmit the data to HTC or anyone else. It happens to me too from time to time.
So a highly connected device moving files from a protected location to a shared location by itself is not a privacy issue?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
It doesn't move the location of the picture, it just links it to a folder in the gallery for quick viewing access. That's all.

I see what big is talking about though. If someone is looking at his phone, someone might see pictures they weren't intended to see that would otherwise be hidden from view.

Then un highlight them? If you say it keeps highlighting photos you don't want to be highlighted then it'd probably be a good idea to go into settings>apps>all>media storage and clear the data from it, as well as the gallery app. Then do a reboot and let the gallery settle
This also drives me crazy. I'm constantly un-highlighting my photos and there's no way to turn that feature off

This.
I did this on my first day. In the settings of the gallery app, go to hide albums, and check the albums you want to hide.
This is actually a cool feature and it's even cooler that you can opt out of it. I see no privacy concerns at all. If someone is looking at your pics, your entire gallery is there for them to flick through.... unless you are seriously concerned with someone knowing which pictures you look at most frequently... in that case, don't let people get to your phone.
EDIT: I just realized how angry my post sounded... that was not intentional. I hope I didn't come off as a jerk!
Does the highlight album take up storage space?
This is a privacy issue...My highlighted photos go up on Twitter. I don't even post any personal pics on Twitter, or face book.
I'm very pissed with this auto feature. If I wanted someone to see them I'd post them.
How do u permanently turn it off. ????
Hey guys,
This is an app I've been working on and wanted to share it with you guys. Development has been slow, but it's going to start picking up and wanted to get some constructive feedback from you guys. It's a simple app that locks the picture on top of you lock screen so you can show it to friends, family, etc. and they can't scroll through your other pictures. If they try to go into your phone, they will be locked out. It's a paid app (only $1), but if you really don't like it the play store offers a refund within a time limit. If you're really interested in reviewing it and giving me feedback but don't or can't pay, send me a pm and I can make you a beta tester. Thanks! Link to the play store is below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edragone.lockpicture
Description:
This picture lock application allows you to show only the photo you choose to other people. There is no need to hide your photos in hidden folders in advance. You simply go to your gallery, select the photo you want to show others, click on the share button and select picture lock. Whoever is looking at your selected picture is locked out of your other pictures and your device.
