[Q] Dropbox Question. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] photo gallery + drop box

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.

[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?

Photos not showing up after taking pictures

ok i searched this issue but found nothing useful or helpful to fix this but every picture i take seems to dissappear after a few minutes and all i get is a gray triangle with an ! mark inside it for all pictures taken by the camera. anyone else have this issue?
im on bady boyz rom
rooted s-offed
h/k m8
No body is having issues with pictures not displaying correctly?? Im on ViperONEM8 rom but it did this on the stock rom and badboyz as well. must not be rom related but i dont know so sum one have any ideas what the issue is? thanks
Have you tried changing the storage location? Also, are you restoring your gallery each time you try a new ROM? You could have the folder hidden on accident and as you restore the gallery that folder becomes hidden again. See if you cannot find the photos another way, for example: Quickpic or ES File Browser.

thank you for helping.
unfortunately yes i did try changing the storage location, in the camera app i changed it to ext sdcard & phone storage both same issue. also i used the Xposed module "Downloads2SD" & "Pictures2SD" both to change the location but still same issue. as for restoring my gallery, no i dont restore it at all when installing new rom. unless somehow it automatically restores from my google account but i dont think it does.
I also have used Root Browser & ES File Explorer to look in every directory on phone and sdcard for the pictures and they cant be found anywhere.
thanks again for replying and trying to help appreciate it much. any other ideas tho?

What happens when you use a different camera app? If that doesn't work either I would suggest an RUU. If an RUU doesn't work I would suggest returning the phone.

still not working with other camera apps. im gonna try RUUing once and see if it still does it. i took a few pics today and all seemed fine until i went to view them later on then they were just displaying the gray triangle thing.. one pic was there and viewed fine one sec then the next its just like the others. i just looked in the gallery now and it shows the previews of these pics but i tap to open them and get the triangle again. its weird & really frustrating i took tons of great pics over the time with this phone and lost them all from this, except of course the stupid test shots ive taken of my wall or whatever pointless shots.. they seem to stay fine its just the important ones that wont.. aarrrghhh gonna RUU right now.
here is a screenshot of what displays for the pictures.. View attachment 2782818

I am having the same issue i moved all my pictures to the external storage card to free up space but now the pics are in limbo i cant find them i just have the triangle where they use to be. the same thing holds true for apps
im beginning to suspect that KK write protection with the external sdcard is the culprit for this but im on viperonem8 and have tried the fixes i found that are suppose to fix the write protection issue and still having same issues. so anyone have any working fixes at all please let us know thanks

I am having the exact same issue and it is frustrating as hell. Especially when I get a great picture, then I go to show someone and it is ****ING GONE.. The only way that I can seem to save them if is when I take them, I immediately share them. After doing extensive research, I have narrowed it down to 2 possible issues.
1) The SD card is somehow corrupted, I purchased a 64GB SD card from eBay and I just recently read about an SD card scandal that was going on which could be the culprit. To test this, I am first going to try with a smaller card that I know works. If that doesn't work, I am going to have the pictures stored on the phone and see if that keeps them.
2) This problem really started to show itself after I downloaded an app called OneGallery, I don't really know if that has anything to do with it, or if it is completely coincidence. If replacing the SD card doesn't work, deleting this app will be the next step.
I love the phone too much to just turn it in or swap it out.

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?
