Yet some might say root or use diff launcher or..., I hope this might be considered in next ICS updates:
Launcher: ability to hide app icons in drawer if I want to.
Data usage: ability to prevent app from using wifi beside mobile data foreground & background if needed (firewall).
Gallery editor: frames effects.
Email (not Gmail): more refresh options such as every 2 hours & from time to time....

Only one atm : Reduce lag in scrolling on some occasions
1) Reboot option when holding the power on/off button
2) Easier way to mass text people
3) Ability mass select individual text messages (in each thread) and then delete them
4) Better stats on what is using the battery
5) When saving panoramic phots, do it quicker and don't delete the picture if the phone locks before the picture is saved
Increased video recording frame rate and enhanced stabilization, reboot option, faster unlock time from the lockscreen to the camera app, enhanced UI responsiveness, built in memo app and voice recorder app, photo editing app kinda like the one on the GS2 and battery saving tweaks

Make the back button relevant when multitasking. Right now, if I hit back after switching from one app to another, I go to the home screen instead back to the previous app.

the gallery should be able to open jpg files that are in a .nomedia directory and go to previous or next pic like it where a normal picture...
this worked that way on old android version
since ICS if i open a picture in filemanager that is in a .nomedia directory, the galery does not known how to open it...
its ok that it is not shown in the gallery app by default, but if i open it from filemanager it should open ...
Mine would be sort the browser out :
Permanent desktop option ( like browser+ has)
Smoother scrolling
Rewrap text as an option
And i hate the way when tap in and then out it has rerender it , kida reminds me of checkers
Still think its the best browser iv used but fixing these is a must
I'd like to see a higher res and flash for the front camera.
Consistent ui!

The application I want to talk about is PicSpeed Wallpapers.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcnNkZXYud2FsbHBhcGVycyJd
A promising application which offers pretty good wallpapers, in my opinion. However it is more than a simple wallpaper application... Not special in a sense where it gives you super exam cheating skills (which I so desperately need right now)... but it gives you MUCH better cropping for your wallpapers in the Gallery app .
So how do you use it and how much better is it? Well to use it start by getting a Wallpaper. So once you got that on your phone go ahead and open up the Gallery. Find and tap on the image. Now hit the menu button and select "Set picture as" (on ICS) or whatever you need to click to set a wallpaper. You will notice a pop-up comes up. The normal options would be contact photo and wallpaper (and maybe whatever else you have), but now we are introduced with the option of "Set as Wallpaper" - with the PicSpeed icon beside it. So tap it (of coarse). Underneath the image will be three images. The first (left) crops the image to use just the middle (based on dimensions) and is not a scrollable Wallpaper. The second (middle) gives you the traditional full-use of the wallpaper in a scrollable state. The one that is most interesting is the last (right) option. This one offers a custom crop. Which means you can make the wallpaper scrollable or not and perfectly set the crop to whatever you want. So once you use the right custom option go ahead and hit the set option underneath it to the far right.
I think that is amazing finally a way to break the terrible cropping options the Gallery gave us. At first when PicSpeed released an earlier version the wallpaper would auto resize and mess up the image. They have updated the app since then and I no longer have to re-set the wallpaper on boot. Another bug I noticed is I cannot set a Wallpaper 'properly' with the traditional set wallpaper function my phone offers me, after I use PicSpeed to set a "custom" crop. This is easily fixable. Go into Gallery and the set the wallpaper with PicSpeed (again) with the Wallpaper with the traditional (middle) option. Or you can just reboot your phone, either way works.
Well yeah I just wanted to share this new amazing application with you all . You're welcome all! No more terrible cropping options YAAAAY!

Simpler way
I found that the Galaxy app in the S3 only crops to portrait too. Simplest way I found was to extract the Galaxy2.apk from a Nexus and install it on the S3 (or replace it entirely) and us it to set the background. You then get the portrait and landscape cropping so you can then have a decent scrollable home screen wallpaper.

I dont know if this thread is still active, but I have been running into issues lately with pic speed. I have used it for a while (on my original vibrant) but now im getting issues. Im trying set an image as my background and crop it. Works fine. Crops for me I get it smack dab center and everything is nice. I turn on the scroll function because I just want the static image. Spits out the image and my wallpaper is great, but as soon as I turn the phone into landscape mode, regardless if im in an app or not the image gets distorted and its annoying as balls. Can anyone help me out?
No one know about this app

Hi all.
I have some questions regarding the new camera app in 4.2.
Why is there a difference between the camera I open from the lock screen widget and the actual camera out of the menu? For example when I take a picture with the widget camera, swipe to the left so have a look at the picture, I can only "delete" it. There are not the regular options like "share" or anything. I first have to go back, unlock, open gallery, find picture and then "share". Why is this??
Also, when I take a picture and afterwards have a look at it in the gallery, it actually captured more of the thing I wanted to take a picture of (I think about 10% at top, bottom, left, right). Has anybody else this issue?
And of course, the very frustrating lag when turning the device from landscape into portrait or vice versa, but like I read in other topics this is everybody's issue.
Thanks all!

That is for security reasons. Otherwise anybody who gets a hold of your phone could share your pictures anywhere he wants. If you disable your unlocking option (or set it to "move finger") you'll get the full menu including the icons for sharing.

This was most likely the reason.
But, correct me if I'm wrong, the camera can only be accessed via the 'Slide' screen lock, which isn't secure at all.

you can also acces the camera using a lock pin. i didn't try with other security means (pattern, faceunlck, etc..) but i guess it's the same thing. personally, i like this feature a lot.
I'm having trouble adding images from my computer to the gallery on my OG. Is there a specific place I need to put them in order to view them and set them as my Lockscreen Wallpaper? I've tried moving them around on the internal storage but have had no luck. Do I need to put them in the system files or what?
Are they already on your device? If so, can you view them via the gallery? If so, open the image you want, then hit menu, set as, then lock screen.

In addition to the above, for organizational purposes, in the internal storage, find the pictures folder. Inside there, create a folder named Lockscreen. Place images in there. This is not necessary, but may help in locating the files more easily.

After updating to JB, my lockscreen image is stuck too. I can only change to a wallpaper gallery image. I cannot change to any other gallery images: regardless of which image I choose or what folder it is in, it will not change unless it is a wallpaper gallery image. I select a new image, set it to lockscreen image, and the old image remains.
This is a bug.
After researching, it looks like factory loaded lock screen wallpapers are incorporated into the .apk for the lock screen. That's weird that you are having problems getting custom images to stick. I had never tried it before because I like the car wallpaper, but I just successfully changed my lock screen image to this:
I have the same issue. When I select a picture from the gallery and resize it reverts back to a stock locksceen image.

Are you running "Lifeless" too?
I hate to ask but while the topic is still on Lockscreen wallpaper. I feel like asking a question regarding this.
Is it possible to have multiple wallpapers for the lockscreen?
By this I mean you have Wallpaper1 as a lockscreen. Then if you turn off the screen then when you turn on the phone again then Wallpaper2 will appear? Is this possible?

Not with "Lifeless" Rom at the moment. I would suggest asking the developer of the Rom to include it in the next upgrade or instruct you on how to do it.
However, I think I also remember seeing a "Lockscreen Launcher" app that had that feature but I can't be sure.
I tried installing images everywhere....still no luck. Changing it one time to a gallery image automatically changed it to my google account pic, WHAT THE HELL? If anyone else is having this issue I think it would be best to let the developer know its definitely a "bug", unless there's a genius out there with a quick fix.
i had to do a factory reset to fix my lock screen. its a nuisance but worth it to have my personal picture as the lock screen

You can disable the one in the main part of the gallery, hit the 3 dots on the top left and you can show/hide which images/folders you want.

Hi, thanks, but that's not where I am talking about. If you hit the Gallery icon on the desktop, then tap the "All Photos" row, at the top of the All Photos screen there is a preview movie that scrolls through all your images with music that auto plays after about 3 seconds.

Yea don't think there's as way to remove that one. Don't really see the point of it either, I mute the music to at least stop that part. The only other solution I can think of is to use another gallery app like quick pic.
I think it's really obnoxious and useless and it got me in trouble when it blasted that awful music in a really quiet environment when I was trying to show someone some pics. It's such a bad feature in fact that I am considering selling the phone for one that gives its user more control over system functions like that.
Thanks for your help though, appreciate it.
Just use Quick Pic. Very close to stock aosp gallery.
Selling the phone over an app seems fairly extreme. ?
