Small SMS Pictures Task & Ktoonsez AOKP JB Rom

Hi, I run the latest built (9/26) on my phone.
I'm only getting small MMS pictures when sending/receiving text messages with no way to zoom in. If I save the picture to the SD card and open it with Gallery or a similar app I can see the full sized picture and zoom in and out.
I tried using Handcent, Go SMS Pro and Chomp SMS and set the settings in the apps accordingly to have a full size MMS picture. What am I overlooking here? I can't figure it out.

It seems like the usual MMS behavior...

Does that mean that it is supposed to be like that? I know in older builds (I'm using this ROM for about a month now) I didn't have this problem.

How was it like? I've never seen this :/

Isn't it Q&A ?

In the conversation nothing changed, but when I tapped on the picture in the conversation I used to get a full screen picture. Now I only get a really tiny thumbnail.

Just wanted to answer my own question, in case someone else has the same issue.
To update this ROM I mostly used OTA updates for simplicity. Over time I had a few issues piling up. So I decided to do a clean install via CWM etc. And now everything is back to normal again. Hope that helps someone.

Contact pictures

I'm sure this has been answered but the 'search' function on the app sucks. Anyway, the contact photos look horrible when on a call or any time bugger than a thumbnail. Is there anyway to make them better? Not so pixilated?

I personally ask all my friends to send me a good HD picture of them... set it as their contact pic and I'm set .. if anything look thru your friends Facebook pictures and press the menu within the picture ... set as... contact picture... there you go.

Take/use a pic with a higher res....
I feel like I'm missing something terribly obvious to warrant asking a question like this

I'm using fb pics to sync with contacts so maybe that's the problem.

[Q] Is there a way to date and time stamp photos

I know these boards have little time or patience for noobies. ( I did enjoy the pre registration video)
I have followed the instructions and done my homework.
Can anyone help me with a way to get my photos with a time/date stamp on them ?
First I was surprised that the GN2 did not have this feature and all of the APPS that I have found so far are not worth p--p.
Thank you for any suggestions or comments.

Ok like this? Very easy. Just enable gpd tag. Aldo while on the photo in your gallery you can also at a "weather tag" as I did.

If its for legal purposes and its an old photo, it is in the properties of the picture.

U see it in gallery. You tape on the picture and shows you the location. Also you can go under settings and view more info tells u under "details" even tells you the longitude and latitude

I think he wants it physically "stamped" on the photo. So if it were to be printed etc, the date would show up on the photo regardless. I'm sure there are photo apps that can do this, but I don't have a use for it, so I have never really looked.

Galley Rant...

I am getting so frustrated with the stock gallery. I actually installed the 4.2 gallery so I can change my stupid wallpaper. I deleted the gallery cache and everything I try won't fix this junk. Deleting the cache for the gallery used to work but now it still acts real slow after. Does the gallery act up on custom roms also for anyone? If not I might get off of stock rooted and actually install a custom rom.

I have never had gallery problems at all. Ive set all my wallpapers with it. I also have over 700 pics and videos and it wont lag at all even with airview enabled.
Whats your problem specifically ? You just cant set wallpapers?

I get major lag (like the gallery takes up to a minute to generate my pictures) when I try to set a wallpaper from settings - Display - Wallpaper or when I open my sms app and try to attach a picture from there.
I never have lag if I go straight into my gallery. I can set wallpapers and share via sms from the gallery without lag.

QuickPic, ftw. Have not used stock gallery for more than 5 minutes total since purchase of Note2.
Slow to load, can't hide folders...
The sidebar feature is nice, but not worth it.

i saw the title and thought this had something to do with pirates.

This is probably happening because you have you google pic syncing and Dropbox and Facebook if you stop your gallery from syncing youll be good to go

Thank you for the advice. I just turned all the syncing off and my gallery still runs real slow.

It's never going to get faster.. It's garbage. Get quickpic and be done with it.

Works fine for me.stock rooted

Whenever I try to attach a picture the gallery comes up blank intermittently. At times it takes forever for the gallery too load

Turn wifi off and see if that fixes the lag problem

Slide show???

Ever since I flashed the prerooted stock rom from xda, my picture messages are both received & sent in slideshow format. My wifes s3 is untouched & does not do this. Her pics come in as a full screen picture & not as a slide show or video format. Is there a setting somewhere I am over looking? A line of code that can change this? Or should I try replacing the messaging apk?
Any help or suggestions are welcome

Here is my version info. Just stock & rooted.

Any ideas?

The only time I get slide show us when it's more than one picture Sent. If it's just one it come in normal. If it's a slide show just long press, hit save and they will go to your gallery where you can view them in their entirety and delete whichever one you don't want.

Yes I have been saving the pics to the memory card to be able to see them.
Mine always comes through as a slide show format even if it is only one picture.
It's pretty annoying......
I know this is not normal behavior, but cannot find a way to correct it......
If I flash a shock messaging apk in place of the existing one, do you think this might help?
The one I have should be stock but came with the stock/rooted rom I downloaded from xda.

What rom are you using? Maybe I can link you to some other sms apps you can try.
