Hi all
My stock S3 came with a nice widget that rotated photos from a folder on my SD card, but I lost in when switching to CM10
I have multiple photo folders I'd like to add
Do you know of any widget apps (paid or free) that will allow me to select multiple folders to include into the rotation ??
Thanks in advance

The PhotoGallery widget that's part of the google gapps does this. Well, it lets you pick one album, or shuffle all.
Thanks
Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I meant one that rotates the photos automatically (without having to scroll down)
Not a big deal but was just curious

The Google Photo Album / Gallery doesn't automatically scroll through photos. This is one missed App from TW. I also like the S Planner app but the Wizz Apk is suffice for now.

HTC's Photos app doesn't show the photos on my SD card and neither does Gallery (the cooliris Nexus One app ported to Incredible). How do I get photos to show up? Arr, it's driving me nuts!
Edit: SOLVED, see below.

I fixed this using the free "Gallery Enabler" app from the Market. I definitely recommend it!

I tried that app and thought it was great too, until I couldn't find any of my music playlists.
I think it hides folders from other applications besides Photos.
If you have problems, open gallery enabler and check all folders before you un-install it.
Then the right way to fix it is to open the Photos app on the phone, clck on the menu button and select "Settings" and then "Default Albums" then select the options you want from there.
If you're wondering how this application works, it probably just deletes/adds the hidden .nomedia files from folders. Those files restrict applications from having access to the media by signaling the android media scanner to ignore them. For instance, if you put one in the root of your sd card, the system would ignore any media on your entire card.
In theory, it's a great idea.
The problem is that all of my music is organized in folders and each folder contains the album art for the album.
So blocking the folder with the album art so that it does not show up in the gallery also blocks the music file from different media applications.

Ah, you're definitely right. All my music stopped showing up. However, once I went back and enabled all the folders and applied settings in Gallery Enabler all my music showed up again and the photos were still fixed. I suppose you could use Gallery Enabler once to "force" Gallery and Photos to see all the folders.
Changing default albums in HTC's Photos app did nothing to make media show up again. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Un-installing gallery enabler brought my music back but not the playlists, I had to manually re-build all of my playlists again.
I like to use ADW launcher. Unfortunately I also liked to use the HTC Sense picture widget that displayed a picture and when clicked took you to the picture gallery.
I have not been able to find an app that satisfactorily emulates the HTC widget.
Could someone make one?
The only requirements are stated above. That it displays a single picture that when clicked takes me to the picture gallery. You can put in more options like a slideshow option or whatever else you can think of. As long as I still have it only display one picture.

I have tried this one. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it to really take me to the photo gallery it just opened the picture viewer where I could only see the one picture in the widget. If I could get it to actually open the gallery where I could view other pictures and open up the camera, then it would be worth it.
I would also recommend turtle photo frame from the market. It does a slides with the widget that pretty cool. It has white and black bordered widget too which means it goes with about everything. Check it out.

heres something i figured out, that will probably suit your needs. i used launcherpro plus which lets you resize widgets, but also allows overlapping them. placed a 4x4 turtle photoframe widget, then re sized it to 3x4 then placed the gallery and video icons and resized the widget back to 4x4. clicking the picture switches to the next or i can click the buttons on the bottom to go to their respective apps.

This is interesting. I might do that until a better widget comes along.
hey, guys!
I've owned several htc devices before and really liked the way their gallery was set up to view the pics without breaking them down into folders. Is there any way to make the stock gallery look like that? (just pictures organized by date they were taken, not separate folders those pics are in) Or maybe download an aftermarket app? I've tried quik pic on the note, but that app didn't have those options.
Thank you!

The stock Gallery application should have a drop down menu in the top left corner that lets you sort by Album, Location, Time (taken), People and Tags.
Hi, I search in many different topics but without answer. I also installed gapps and so on, but still cannot force gallery to show my google plus photos. On stock ROM it just works out of box, right now I use Cyan and there I can't use this feature.
Why I would like to have those photos in gallery app instead of using g+ photo app? Because I want to have a widget on desktop with those photos (with out update of album), and so far it is only method which I found (default gallery widget + Gplus sync). Do you have any ideas how to fix it?

5 BEST ANDROID APPS TO HIDE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
1. Hide Pictures Keep Safe Vault - is one of the best apps to lock away your personal pictures and videos with ease. The app makes it effortless to simply store away your videos and photos in a safe vault. The separate gallery is kept hidden from the regular ones. I have used the basic version of the app for a while and it worked perfectly.
2. Gallery Lock (Hide pictures) - is one of the most popular apps around for Android. Almost every friend of mine recommends this free app for daily usage. I was pleasantly suspired to see the robust feature list of this app. Gallery Lock comes with almost every feature you would want from an app that hides photos and videos for you.
3. Hide Something - Photo, Video - With Hide-Something, your public gallery remains available to your friends, family, and coworkers. And your hidden images are only for who can unlock. With Hide-Something, you can customize your gallery when you want to show different photos to different people. With Hide-Something, you can share your photos and videos easily, even hand over your cell phone to others and no worry about your privacy.
4. Gallery Vault - Hide Video&Photo - comes with a simple and understandable interface and a good design. You simply need to move the images to the GalleryVault and they will be kept safe behind a lock code. The app also has the option of making the launch icon hidden; virtually making it completely concealed from your device.
5. Hide Pictures & Videos - FotoX - allows you to store your private pictures and photos in a secret gallery. If you want, you can take a picture directly from the app itself and it will be stored instantly. It is a great way to avoid the extra work of manually selecting pictures and hiding them in a secret vault.
