Save Attachments Directory - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Is there a way to change where attachments from MMS save to? or an option to select where.. instead of everything going to downloads.

i've never seen an option to select a location to save attachments. not in stock or aosp. it would be a nifty feature though. this may be an option on a 3rd party messaging app.
there are also apps like Save MMS on the play store that you could explore. cheers

Sense Messaging Without Sense

Is there a way to install only Sense Messaging in a No-Sense Rom?
I would love to install CM's RC2 but I really enjoy the Sense Messaging app (particularly it's ability to rename MMS on the fly if a file by the same name exists).
stock msg app is practically the same thing. also there are numerous other messaging apps such as handcent and chompsms you can try.
if all you're worried about is the app overwrite a previous picture, stop. you know all your incoming mms are saved to your picturemail website = http://pictures.sprintpcs.com - right?
I'm not worried about it overwriting, I want it to rename the second pic a different name on it's own. With the stock app, whenever i saved an MMS, if I already had a pic by the same name, I would have to go into a file explorer and rename it before the stock app would save it.
The sense messaging renames it on its own.
then try handcent or chompsms. most everyone uses handcent.

[Q] Choosing Default Programs

I get some emails with jpeg files in them. If I want to view them, in K9 it gives a choice to view or save. I can not view because the only two programs that it gives me the choice of are rockplayer and esvideo player. If I save then I can open with picture viewer. Is there to set the default for jpeg files to be the program of my choice?

All defaults are handled from here: [Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage Applications] and you click on the application. Once in you can click "Clear defaults" if any are set.
However, sounds like nothing is set to default cause it is giving you a choice. Not sure where the stock picture viewer is but might try dl a viewer from the market then selecting it as default for those type of files. Should work then.
I'm using K9 as well and pictures open up fine without having to save them.

Most do just ones that jpeg it is recognized as a video rather than a picture. Have a viewer will look to see if it gives me a choice of extensions to choose from. I tried opening it with the native email program and it opened fine just not with K9.

Have you tried Quickpic from the Market? Good pic viewer.
Did you change your gallery default settings?

HELP! Lost option to attach picture from my gallery when using MMS

I am running 4.1.1 Jb. I installed new camera and gallery from 4.1.2. I erased old gallery since the new one works fine. But now when I go to MMS and hit attach icon, the new gallery is not on the list to choose from, and the old one isn't there cause I deleted it. I have to got to gallery and Share now, but I want the option to do it in MMS! Any way I can set what programs I can choose from when I hit attach in mms. I tried clearing and I don't want to change roms.

So wait.. you deleted the stock galery? It's needed for quite a few apps.. I would get it back if I were you.
I'm usin, the 4.1.2 gallery fine. I just lost the option to attach in mms. Every other function is fine. When I click attach (paperclip) icon isn't there. But it's there in Gmail.

Oh, completely missunderstood that.
Using the stock messaging app? If so, top right corner, there should be a attach option which brings up a pop up with these options: Pictures, Capture picture, videos, capture videos, etc..
If you're using another messaging app, then Idk

Changing the "recent contacts" messaging app when sharing.

There is a REALLY cool feature I'd like to be able to utilize where the G4 pulls up your most recent contacts when you start to share something.
*see attached image* (names and numbers have been edited out for privacy reasons)
Only problem is, that even though my default messaging app is Next SMS if I select one of these recent contacts at the top. It still opens up "messaging" to send the message. Which actually is very limiting because it doesn't like not being default with MMS's.
Is there an easy way to change that behavior?
Thanks,
Gilligan

How do I get rid of Wego and Booking.com icons?

Attached a screenshot.
How do I get rid of them? They are not in the app list in settings and if I hold down on the icons, the only options are Select Item and Add to Home. If I just tap to open, it just says App does not exist.
I'm not rooted. This happened right after first setup.
Looks like a bookmark that you added to desktop, and then was restored from the cloud incompletely.
Did you use an alternate browser on your previous phone/firmware?
Do these sites appear on your current browser's bookmarks list? Maybe add those to the launcher to see whether it'll "overwrite" these old entries

From a fresh factory reset, before even signing in with my account, and before even connecting to WiFi, I did the de-bloating first. My guess is that something interrupted the process of setting up these shortcuts after debloat.
I never used the browser (chrome). Would these be related to the Samsung browser maybe?
Tried to clear launcher app data&cache?
I ended up just installing the actual apps in the play store, then immediately uninstalling them and that did the trick.
