Hi everyone. So, I hope the title is clear enough. I use the original OxygenOS gallery and i wonder if there is a way to have the "home page" gallery be the collections one and not "photos" when I open the app. I'm guessing, can I use something like APK edit to rewrite that specific code? I'm not an expert but I guess is not a very difficult process.
Btw very unexpected low options gallery for a OnePlus.
Attached pic to be more clear. (Italian language for who ask)

I've been trying to replace the Gallery app with Just Pictures.
However I use LauncherPro and when using it to change the default icons in the dock, LauncherPro defaults to the Gallery app.
When the Gallery app is not installed, it claims there are no pictures on the phone at all.
Anyone know a solution?
I was wondering about this also... but about Picture Folder, so I've contacted the developer if he could somehow add an option to set default wallpaper or that is shown in this menu, but didn't get an answer.
It's related to the framework of SGS i guess, but i'm pretty sure someone knows something about this and i've already used the search button and couldn't get an answer.
So if maybe somebody knows anything about this, could you please share the info, or at least point us to the right direction
EDIT:
Picture Folder has been updated and is now called QuickPic and it has an option to set wallpaper, but it's still not shown in LP for icon selection...
Gallery App - Sort Images / Change Order
Hello everybody,
I'm new to this nice device so I have a question, I already did some research but i couldn't find a solution!
In the Gallery App, it's shows the last picture at the bottom, and not as first. This is very annoying when you have like 100 pictures and you want to Share the last one, you have to scroll all the way down to select it. Is there a way to change the order of the Gallery App?
Tried:
- Changing the order the 100MEDIA Folder in Astro File Manager *not working*
- A lot of research on the web *found nothing*
Maybe i just looked at the wrong place, if that's the case: please let me know!

Solution: use QuickPic

I'm a new GNex owner, and having used other Android overlays such as HTC's Sense, I was wondering if it's possible (if there are any mods possibly?) to do:
- Link Facebook status updates with contacts
- Link Facebook pictures with contacts
If the two above are not possible:
- When setting a 256x256 picture that is good quality as a contact picture, is there a way to have it remain good quality? Every picture I assign contacts looks like crap and pixelated
Adding on:
- Is it possible to create folders in the app drawer?
- Is it possible to change the color of a new message in the text messaging application? When you get a new text it's white instead of light grey, and it's hardly noticeable which conversation is the new one.. is there a way to set the new conversation (in the message inbox overview) to say a light blue that matches the rest of the UI? Or even have a notification beside the message (where it displays all the messages) to let you know which one if the new message?
Thanks.

**I believe there is an app called hacksync or haxsync (not sure on the spelling) that lets you link up contact pics through facebook. having never used it I can't tell you if it is in the store or here on XDA. I would do a search and I'm sure you'll find it.

**Unfortunately this is a problem on Google's end. The servers they use to store contact information on have very low picture resolution. like 96x96 low. Solution: in the account settings, turn off sync google pics or use hacksync

**Neither one of these options are possible unless your rooted. even then I haven't seen a mod for adding folders to the app drawer. It could be out there but I doubt it. There are mods for changing the apperance of the stock msg app but you are limited to whatever the themer wants it to look. (I actually feel the same way about the calender ut so far I haven't seen a good replacement theme for it yet). however, if you want full control to customize your SMS the way you want, you can either download GO SMS or Handcent SMS from the store. Both offer full customization for all aspects of the application.
I hope this helps

HaxSync (and others) will link photos to contacts from FB.

Not to my knowledge. Definitely not in stock.

Alternate SMS apps can surely configure colors.
Thanks for the responses.
I downloaded HaxSync and it's awesome! The pictures are good quality and it shows recent activity from my contacts.
I'm going to try an alternative messaging application. If I have two messaging applications open though at the same time (does the stock messaging app run as a background process all the time?), will it slow my phone down?

It will run, and is required to fetch the messages. It won't slow anything down.
Go launcher EX allows you to make folders in the app drawer i believe.
I havent used it for a while but its a really good replacement launcher and has tons of features.
You might like that.

It'll be fine mate, just remember to turn off the notifications in the stock messaging app.

Not at all. Just disable notifications in the stock app and you're good to go with the replacement.
I'm on stock yakju 4.04 and yes, I'm able to create a folder and drag it to my app tray.

And how exactly do you do that?
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.
I've installed Google Photos but every time I go to edit I get limited options. I'm assuming this is an LG thing. The editor that opens from my Google Photos app in my GPe device. And the options and editing is much nicer.
Anyone notice this or have issue with the default edit options?
I have tried and tried but the only editing functions that work are the crop, rotate. Everything else is there but is non responsive!
If I go into the photo gallery and look at a picture and click the little pencil to "edit" it will bring me to the edit screen but it won't let me do anything within the editor without crashing .

There is an update. It works great.
Yes! I'm not happy about it either. How do you go back? I actually called lg and the guy I spoke with said it maybe the Android software that's caused this. I don't know becaus I deleted Google pbotos, I lost editing options under my galery. When I reinstalled Google photos the editing options came back but still limited. Any idea how to go back to the old way?
If you want to apply more edit to the photos, install Snapseed. The LG stock gallery will open up Snapseed for editing/stuffs.
Not bad I must say.
