so I really like the albums app in hyperdrive but I am having an issue with it while using handsent SMS. if i get an mms pic and tell handsent to open in albums the pic does not display. works fine if i tell it to use the gallery.
any ideas?

besides the whole iphone bubble thing ( which im sure will be fixed with themes ), i think the stock messaging app is a winner this time around. especially the new landscape preview mode. also i dont know whats different in this gmail version but i no longer get the "ghost" emails ( when the message counter says i have unread messages but i cannot see them ) good job samsung..
I like it as well but for some reason I can't get my ip camera video attachments. I can see them on the regular gmail app but not on the stock email app. I get the email with the attachments icon but nothing shows to click to preview.

I made a mental note to try out Go SMS but I never really got around to it actually, because like you I thought the stock messaging app was pretty sweet.
i wish there some more customization like you can do on MIUI and handcent like - mini window, etc
I'm using the stock MAIL app, I prefer it to the Gmail one. The text app I replaced with Handcent.
I use the Yahoo email app, works great.

I Use the yahoo email app for my yahoo mail.. I use the built in gmail app for my 3 gmail accnts
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
I'm trying to use the stock email app isntead of downloading the yahoo mail app and using the gmail app.
I like that I can set the background to black with white text.
My only issue is that I'm not liking the lack of push notifications.
I can set it to check every 15 minutes with an notification on my status bar...
That seems almost better than push? (As far as it not sitting there nonstop checking for mail). Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I'm really digging the little animation where the text slides over to the pane, and I also love the window view in landscape. The next SMS app is one of my favorite "tweaks," on the device.
The stock SMS application is good, but the iPhone-style bubbles are ugly, and not having the option to change them or their colors is terrible.
With that being said, the worst part of the stock SMS application is the over-compression of MMS photos. Sending photos to friends is an embarrassing affair. Your 8MP photos get compressed to usually between 25KB to 50KB, at the smallest resolution ever. I'm all for saving network throughput, but come on. People on larger resolution devices (iPhone 4) can't see anything. Disappointing.

It's my guess Sprint is the one to blame with over compression of MMS. I had this exact same problem with my HTC EVO 4G.
I broadcast texts to about 30 people on a regular basis and the built-in SMS client won't send to more than 10 people at once no matter how big the group is so I can't use it. Wish I could fix that - I'd rather use the built-in app so it would work with the lock screen. Or it would be nice if you could make other email/SMS clients work with the lock screen.
I like both stock apps looks good and functions well.

Just pull the CM7 messaging app from a rom and slap in the system folder and change permissions Then reboot.

On my LG Thrill I used to use Go Contact Widget, then "Photo Contacts Widget" because it has larger contact icons. Both showed the pictures very clearly. Any contact widget I've tried on my SGIII displays their picture rather blury and pixelated. However When I click on their picture and it brings up the option to call/text etc the resolution is perfect.
Anyone have any input/advice on this?

Have you tried any of the apps available to sync HQ photos to your contacts (IE: Haxsync, etc.)? That may make a difffence.
May I ask what contacts widget you are using with your phone??? Any I've tried won't work.
Jelly Bean has also moved to using higher res contact images natively, so perhaps when this update hits it'll rectify this.

Sync the pictures with something like Facebook Contact Sync from the market that bring in HQ photos, it makes a difference.
What contact widget are you using on the S3? Are you using Touchwiz as your launcher or a 3rd party? I haven't found a single contact widget that works with touchwiz unless I use a third party app to sync the pictures (but then lose syncing other info from facebook.)
My facebook pictures were syncing just fine with gallery 4.2 but now they do not show up. If I do a system restore and open gallery 4.2, they show up for a split second then they are gone....with the gallery only showing pictures on my phone. Does anyone know all the settings thst I need to get them to show up again?
Would also like to add that my dropbox pictures no longer show up in the 4.2 gallery either.
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
Every time I want to post a picture on Facebook or Whatsapp, the default camera app opens up, I take the picture, but instead of asking me to confirm and send the picture, it just lets me keep taking more and more pictures and I can't post it. I would have to take the picture normally and then go back to the app to choose the picture from the gallery. Does anyone know a fix for this?
