hi , i really confused why the album photo gallery of android 4.1 or 4.3 is too basic and have not any setting or advance option !!

i cant sort picture by Date or Folder , there is no tab for separate Video and image

i can use Quickpic but it really question for me why Android developers design Album Gallery Like this !!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Simply bcs most users care more for eye candy and lesser for an efficient photo gallery. I mean as long as there are alternatives, why should I complain? I don't depend on my album carrying a Sony logo.

For a 2 weeks journey to China I was given a local Iphone. My world was shattered, I am still devastated how this can be the god that people queue up for @ 4am before the shop opens.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arioman:
thanks for reply .

you know it`s strange for me more than be have complain

yes of course we can use alternative gallery apps like Quick pic . they fast and with a lot of options and Facilities

but they use a space and Rams . also They add Additional switch ( icon) when we want to select a pic or video
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
To my opinion QuickPic is a full replacement, and it needs only 1/8 of the space. Certainly you do need root to reclaim the space. The integration with Android not as perfect as Album, but is good enough, IMO.

There is also the ICS Gallery but it does not necessarily mean better functions.

I as well don't like the current drive to oversimplify and cripple things to such an extend, that they actually get difficult to manage.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
QuickPic hardly uses RAM, is a lot faster, a lot more versatility and options, and if you're really worried about having to press an extra button to open a picture, next time you select a picture or video to be opened, just choose QuickPic (or any other app of your choosing) as default and forget about it.

I'd imagine a stock app doesn't have the full attention of a developer if the same developer is working on the ROM, which is why developers that focus on only one thing or app generally have a better functioning app, such as QuickPic, for instance.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
With AT's help you may take a look at Albums's details such as Activities, Providers, Receivers, and Services. That may explain where a lot of the attention lies.

I'd also use another camera app. The Sony camera can be on by 3.parties without user knowledge. I am using Open Camera. It's a lot like Album vs. QuickPic.

Bounties are not encouraged on XDA, however some have resulted in needed breakthroughs.

A legitimate bounty should be started by someone other than the recipient, preferably an established member of the community. The recipient should be aware of and endorse the bounty and agree to its purpose. A set goal should be announced and totals kept current. No money should be collected up front but pledged to be sent to the recipient's donation link once goal is reached. Please also note bounties should be for significant critical development projects, not to get your favorite developers a new toy....that is what their DONATE link is for.

Hi all,

I have a audiovox smt5600 and when i had WM5 installed, I noticed that my BT headset would trigger the headset profile. When i flashed back to WM2003, I found that this no longer worked (however plugging in a wired headset would work).

Does anyone know how I can get a BT headset to trigger the headset profile ala WM5? Any workarounds?

Hey All,

I was asked to review the Exo Skin by Xgear. I requested the White Carbon skin and I have to say it looks great on my black S5! I only have the back installed as I have the Skinomi Tempered Glass Screen Protector on the front. Installation was quick and painless. Literally just place the skin where you'd like it to be and take a hair dryer to it. This helps it conform to the phone and adhere to it. The skin is made from 3m film and has a nice texture to it. You can feel the ridges from the "carbon fiber". I haven't been able to test durability yet and my phone probably wont get a real good test as I typically keep my phone in a case. However, I do think this would stop small scratches and the like whenever I do have the phone out of its case.

I'll get some pictures up tomorrow. I took some on my old phone but lost them like an idiot when I was doing a factory reset for my Gma :P

Check if the nib of the pen (the small white part at the end) can be pushed inside. If it can't be pushed, pull it out gently. There should always be some play in the nib to allow for pressure variations. Had the same problem. Worked like a charm for me.

Do backup your internal memory to pc etc and firstly try flash without wipe. The worst thing that can be is bootloop. If your phone stuck on bootloop you need flash again firmware with full wipe. After that everything will be ok

Hi everybody! I'm asking for help to build a ROM for a friend and I. My phone is a 03 but he has a 06 (C690x) He likes my phone so he wants something similar.

I'm running a very very modified .136, I even made mods on the mods! #YoDawg

This is were the trouble starts: I edited a few lines on my Framework to allow it to rotate the lockscreen and even rotate in all angles. Framework can be downloaded here But If I do a factory reset the phone gets into a bootloop. To solve it made a flashable zip with the stock deodexed framework.

I edited the .xmls with Advanced apk Tool

I'm facing another similar bug but this time with my Settings.apk. I added Smart call Handling From this thread If I do a factory reset the phone boots, but gets in a force close-loop because settings has stopped. I even made a zip with the stock framework and settings to avoid bootloops after a factory reset. Everything works just fine, but in the event of a factory reset being necessary the phone will bootloop until. How can I solve this 2 problems?

And now I need to make a flashable .zip, one for my C6906 and another for a C6903. Where do I start? I have a TRWP backup just the way I like it, minus the framework and settings. Can I use it to build my ROM? And how will I build a C6906 ROM from a .ftf?

All help is greatly appreciated

Hi everyone - I am having a similar problem

I have a new GPS receiver and have established a bluetooth partnership and done the outgoing port to com0 which is the default.

Tom Tom is installed and when I try and configure it I am not seeing all the options shown on the website. It just says no gps detected or something similar. I am sure its something simple.

Can anyone help please?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dew.man:
There's a program CreatePorts that is floating around (you'll have to do a search) that allows TomTom to see additional com ports in the Bluetooth GPS setup. I used this same program on my Samsung i730, and now on the 8525.

You just paid your GPS with the PPC, create the outbound port (in my case I used com 2), run CreatePorts, and then go in to TomTom GPS setup.

Once you get it set up, you don't have to run the app anymore, and TomTom works great :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mobilecat:
OUCH

I tried running this but i can still only assign certain points from my bluetooth manager and dont have these displayed on the tomtom menu.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nicky:
When you go into the GPS Status settings on Tomtom and tap configure, have you tried looking to see which com ports it lists and then going back to the bluetooth settings and doing trial and error to allocate any of those port numbers as an outgoing port for your GPS unit?

For my genuine Tomtom GPS unit, I did not even have to set up a port, I just had to pair the device but when I used a friends alternative brand of GPS unit for a short while, I was only able to get that one working under Com port 4. I can't quite remember but it may even have been a case that Com 4 only became visible in the Tomtom GPS configure menu after I had allocated it as an outgoing port for the GPS device (sorry, it is a while back so I can't quite remember the order in which I set it up)

Hope you get it sorted :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mobilecat:
arghh

I a so annoyed. I did this and had no luck. Later on I did something and got the option for port 2 and used it and it was great. I had to do a soft reset for something else and I cant do it again. tried everything.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mobilecat:
MMMM

Happy yet frustrated

I have deleted create ports from my device as it only works once. I have reset my device. I reinstalled createports and extracted the file. I then saw port 2 straight away - the one that had been missing in tomtom.

The only problem is that if I do a soft reset I have to do that again!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nicky:
It is very frustrating trying to get some of these things working. Have you thought about upgrading to Tomtom 6? you may find you have less problems getting the pairing and ports working right.

Failing that, I am sure you will be able to get it working again, just keep trying all the com ports one by one until you find one that appears in the Tomtom configuration. Like I said, on my XDA Vario II (Hermes) I managed to get it working on Com 4 and when I had an XDA Mini S (Wizard) I seem to remember that it was either Com 6 or Com 7 which worked on that one.

You might want to check the bluetooth settings for security and beam as well. Try turning security off (ie. passkey required off) and make sure the beam setting is ticked to receive all incoming beams.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you :)

Pairing TOMTOM 6 with Bluetooth GPS (easy) - Kaiser

First after reading the posts I thought I had to reinstall Tom Tom or install another software. Luckily, I paused and read the message when I was about to configure my other bluetooth receiver. It said, first you must establish your bluetooth connection. Well, I lied coz I did try to go on and couldnt find COM 0 or whatever you guys have said.

But that's what I did, eventually. Paired the device as BT GPS, check the serial connection (not sure if secure connection needs to be checked but I left it unchecked to find out later). After that go to com port tab, and click add new port ie selected COM0.

Then go back to TT6 (restarted in my case), and to other bluetooth gps receiver then found COM 0 in there. Voila!!

Chose COM0, but still got no gps device message. Waited for about 2 mins while reading further into the posts and now my TT6 is working.

You could call that strike of luck I dont really care but yeah.. saving some batt power on my kaiser for the bank holiday;s trip. Have a great one everyone!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] audiobastard:
no one seems to have mentioned this

Don't forget to go into external gps in your devices settings --> connections tabs and assigning whatever com port you're using in the hardware tab of external gps. Some roms might not have this. Just a suggestion because I couldn't get my gps to sync without setting hardware port to the same value as the outgoing com port I set up in bluetooth settings and the com port I used in my software. So, in short there are 3 places to set the same port value: external gps in connections menu of settings, the software, and the bluetooth comm manager settings. Hope this helps. BTW, I don't use tom tom, but thought it might be helpful
