I need to backup these photos because I'm going to wipe my phone. These photos are of higher resolution than what would be synced to my phone through GMail.

I always assumed the contact pictures were not on the phone and were synced with Gmail. My Google Voice does not show contact pictures whenever there is a data/sync issue.
If you have taken the pictures with your camera, they should be in sdcard/dcim and if you have downloaded them in the sdcard/download, but that you probably knew already.
To be precise, I was wondering where Google stores the specific pictures shown when you use the People app. I do have the uncropped photos but it would be nice if I could take the cropped version and overwrite the low quality pics Google sync from GMail.
I believe with ics it's a system app called "contacts storage" that you can back up with titanium or the like.I can't confirm but that is my guess. Gl!

Only problem with backing things like this up is it can cause issues if the system app version gets updated by asop. I wish android would sync all these kinds of things in the cloud. having to "remerge" all my contacts every wipe is annoying as well.

G+ and G+ Messenger were among the first apps that I disabled when I got my nexus. They keep coming back though!
Is this a known issue? Just me? Help!
I would have help you but I love G+. So sorry

if you're rooted, have you tried just deleting the apk's from /system/app?
Although you have them disabled, make sure that you are not Auto-Updating the app in the market. Not sure if you need to just disable auto updates for them, or you need to disable it for all apps.
I have noticed the SAME thing......
I have disabled G+ and Books and Earth and a few other Google aps and they AUTOMATICALLY un-disable them selves............
G+ is what could be considered a "core app" on ICS. It's interconnected to a lot of other functions (just like Google Talk or Google Maps).
If you don't like it, just sign out of/never sign into the G+ service and don't use it. This will spare you quite a few problems you may run into otherwise.
I am rooted and have disabled the majority of GApps... Never had them re enabling by themselves and never had any problems.

I find this very annoying as well as I try and uninstall tons of apps

They should at least give us a way to change how the list is organized.
I can't even see all of the apps I've ever installed online. The list stops at F.

Because there's so many, mine stops at M. If you go to Order History (or something similar), you'll see every app you've downloaded in chronological order.

Known issue for Android app
Hey, I can't post the link (I'm new), but if you google "delete old apps google play store," the first entry is Known issues for Android apps.
"Deleting apps from My Apps/My Orders
At this time, there is no way to delete records of old apps either on the Google Play website (play.google.com) or from the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app.
We know that some users are looking for a way to delete old apps from Google Play, and we'll certainly take this into account as we work to improve the Google Play experience in the future."
Guess we'll have to wait.
Can you install the HTC Apps from Google Play?
Then disable the Google apps like: Calculator, Calendar, Chrome, Photos, etc?
And one more question, are the dialer/phonebook, messages, music, notes (Scribble), voice recorder and tasks google or HTC apps? (I hope HTC)
Anyway, if it doesnt. If you extract the apps from any M9 rom (maybe deodexed), could you install the .apk files?
Also, does it have the grid view on Recent Apps? (Please say yes)
I would like to know if this is possible as well. I prefered htc apps over Google...
From what I have seen and read you can do this yes.
Yes, this is possible.
My mind is a little blown that some people have these preferences, but yes, you can.

People have different tastes.
Like some people prefer Touchwiz/Xperia/Optimus/Miui/etc over AOSP, because each of these skins add something new that appeal to a certain group of people.
The big advanatge of HTC apps is that they are not completly linked to all the damn google stuff. I want to use the playstore for apps, but the other stuff is mostly an invasion of privacy...

Well, I mostly prefer Google apps, but the HTC Music player is awesome, so yeah that's the first app I'll be installing when the 10 hit UK market
HTC uploaded Boost+ on Google Play.
Guess what was in one of the screenshots.
Sense 8 apps.
See for yourselves.

Who's the say that isn't from an M8 or M9?
Anyway I believe if HTC makes it available you can get it from the Play store. If not then you may have to sideload it and hope it works.

Most HTC apps can be downloaded from the Play Store on the 10. However, one that is not compatible with the 10 is the HTC gallery app.

Is there a work around for this yet? I hate using Google photos...
Tried extracting the Gallery.apk from a M9 rom but it kept force closing.
I don't mind Google Photos as an app to create and save my pictures, but it's absolutely not ready to be integrated into the camera app. It takes way too long after taking a photo to review and edit. And forget taking a burst of photos, you have to wait literally a minute or more to see them.

3 choices:
-you could use Team Fulmics's ported apps
-you could download ICE ROM for M8 and extract some themed Sense 8 apps (but low chance for them to work... Althrough they are running on a Sense 8 rom)
-there was some thread on XDA where somebody actually ported some apps especially for the HTC 10
Imo, you should the second idea, because the Sense 7 apps would not quite fit with Sense 8, so better try some themes ones first.
If they dont work, just try the other things.

Because of the status bar. Is the stock google one.
HTC One M9/M8 doensnt have that.
So... I think HTC has made new apps, but they are not releasing them for some reason. :/
I can deal with almost all of the changes that they've made but I'll tell you the one app that I'm really missing is the HTC music player. I found the APK file online but every time I install it the app force closes
I don't particularly care for the Google photos app because what it would like to do is upload all of the photos from my phone to my Google account and I don't necessarily want that to happen. I actually hate the way Google handles most of their data collection. So I've made it a habit of mine ever since I started using android to go into the sink settings and turn off everything except for my Gmail.
I'm pretty comfortable with the way things are now
I have slowly gotten used to the Photos app from Google...
I did try to side-load HTC Music Player, but it keeps crashing on me... if anyone has a stable version, please let me know. Google play subscription isn't available where I live, so casting is disabled and I can't use my wireless speaker system...
Good grief, can't use the HTC Music Player app and can't edit the quick settings so there's a huge amount of pap in there at the moment. No interest in using Google photos or most other Google apps, seems to me like HTC has sold a bit of its soul to Google and left out some of its good apps like the gallery. If i wanted a stock launcher and all that Google crud I'd buy a Nexus device.
Strange, HTC Music player crashes but not Htc Music widget.
I see that there is no stock gallery app on this phone. Looks like Google wants you to solely use photos. I almost don't mind, but, I'd really like to manage the pictures and videos that are saved to my phone. Does Google still have one that I can grab even with an apk online? If not, what do you guys and gals recommend?
Please and thanks!

Still using QuickPic. I really like the built in crop/resize editor, fits right into my workflow.
People slam Quickpic because they got bought from some shady company but I haven't seen the app do anything bad.

The built-in photos app will let you manage your saved pictures/videos on the device. What exactly is the issue?

I think the problem is people moving to Google phone after being with phones by LG or Samsung. Not sure when Google officially made the switch over to Photos, but it definitely was around in 2015. When I got the Nexus 6P, I noticed it didn't have a stock gallery app, so it was extremely weird for me at first.

My issue with Google Photos is that I cannot change default view to device folders. I have to swipe to select everytime I use photos app. It results in mobile data usage as default view is photos that are in cloud storage.

Well, that is true. It defaults to a 'view' mode that sorts each picture by day. However, I have the cloud feature disabled for me, so no data usage. Photos behavior has always been that 'view' mode though.

People are not blinded by this! It is the fack that you are unable to access your album's w/ 1 click & the grid style layout is favorable! And do not touch Google photos if you don't want to bring every photo in existence to your device...but you are unable to force stop & still be able to take a pic! I'll say it again... Google's ability to store & display albums is still lacking.

Welcome to the forums and bringing back a thread that is soon to be ONE year old! [emoji112][emoji112][emoji112]
I actually love being able to see all the pics I've ever taken with Google Photos. That's why I've uploaded pics even from old point and shoot cameras I had. And the ability to search by person, places, or things is amazing.
