Hi, found you had this xda thread so better to comment here than on the "wild jungle"s Play Store opinion center:

Tried many gallery apps and this is my favorite (also paid the pro version), just there is a deal-breaker issue: Once i have copied some photos and videos on a new folder, when i try to delete them it always crashes, without deleting the media files. This happens 100% of attempts and curiously only in those files.

Some comments to add: Tried deleting app data and cache with no success. I use a custom ROM (Havoc - Android 9), i know there might be some restrictions on support for non-official ROMs but i think might not be related to the custom ROM (every other app runs stable).

I'm able to provide logs reproducing the issue if needed.
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
Hmm we will check in backlog to see about these crashes
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Just a note. Been using this pretty extensively with Android Q Beta 2 and haven't found any issues. Nice clean app experience.
[Android Apps and Games] heisert:
No answer bout my Premium Icons update (two months in still nothing).

Feel slightly fooled. Maybe i move to oxygen. When i bought icons ive got them a few days later. He also has over 7000 icons already.

Sorry but i hate Memoria. Before u started this Project you give us weekly icon updates over years.

(Thank you for this!)

Yes my Post is a little hard but its a shame= You have so much artistic talent. Really! Every Day i check the Playstore if you Update your icon packs. But still nothing. For me its a suprise how the new icons look like. It's like to get a new weekly cartoon Magazin as a kid.

I liked the idea behind the Premium icons to give you xtra dollars and more motivation. But i only see Memoria Updates or a new (semi-finished) icon pack.

Maybe you read this Post right... Iam really a Vertumus icon packs Fan!

Viktor turn the time back & if you have some time, draw a few icons
[Android Apps and Games] mobbdeep:
I don't have that option.
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
Hey bro, sorry for waiting, working on it, should be soon. I got kid few few weeks ago and its mess :D quite hard to focus and work when baby is in the house :highfive: but things are cool now, so Premium updates will roll much quicker

Hmm that is really strange
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
Happy to hear this!
[Android Apps and Games] jho55:
Glad to here that you got kids. I hope everything is fine.

I think fixing performance issues like the one I reported is more important atm than a new icon pack. Currently I cannot use Memoria because it is so slow.
[Android Apps and Games] cyberhern:
How is this possible? Everyone including myself on Q beta 2 has no access to their pictures

[MENTION=2909862]Vertumus[/MENTION]

Could you please fix the image cropping feature ?

I had to roll back to stock Galaxy because I use that feature a lot.

Thanks!

PS: I know you are busy, tyt. May I know whether it's scheduled to fix in the upcoming update or not.
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
We are working on it!

We are working on that too!
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
Can you describe step by step what issue you have with cropping and if you could, upload screen-recording so we can see what you are doing on your device when you cropping

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Apex``:
It would be super awesome it besides rotating, there would also be a mirror function to flip the picture horizontally or vertically. (E.g. for selfies)

Besides that, loving this app. It's awesome
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
Cool idea, we will see what we can do about it :)
[Android Apps and Games] x3m.zone:
Even if i buyed the app, i reverted to embeded Gallery app. Every few days my internal memory are full because of Memoria app cache.

Waited for an update, but it's not comming.

Keep up the good work. Gonna try again at some point.
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
Hmm, really strange, we will check this
[Android Apps and Games] gitzz:
Allow us to view the hidden folder when we open memoria through other medium like when we want to upload something from chrome and we access memoria and cant access the hidden folders.

Still no update :confused:

If he does not have the time, he can not ask for extra money for premium icons and then not do them. My Boss would fire me... Yes ive got two Kids also.
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
Hi guys. Is there still something going on here? After a fiery start activity seems to be going down?

Or is there another place-to-be to follow development? Telegram?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
The wife/girlfriend of the dev has given birth to a child some time ago, so the dev is busy handling his child ;) Give it some time, he will be back when things settle down a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] O's:
When I uninstalled the app, the folders I marked Hidden in Memoria stayed hidden when I brought up the TW stock Gallery. How did this happen, and how can I unhide those?

(Likely purchasing Pro soon, by the way. Trying lots of gallery apps and finding more to like there than most others.)
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Use a file manager to check whether there is a file called .nomedia inside the folder you have hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] O's:
I have been using this site and flashing in general WAY too long not to know about that. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Maybe, but Memoria hides folders by placing .nomedia files inside them which aren't deleted if Memoria is uninstalled.

Delete the files, refresh your media cache (use an app or reboot) and the folders should be unhidden.
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
I had the same issue the other way around, not being able to see hidden folders from Quickpic.

Had to first unhide them for them to appear in Memoria
[Android Apps and Games] O's:
So I used Root Explorer and deleted every instance of .nomedia on the SD card (only place I'd used that in Memoria), then wiped cache/dalvik. The files and folders still won't appear in Gallery or Samsung Music. Other ideas/steps?
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Clear data for media storage and reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] O's:
Never done that before. That fixed it. Much obliged!
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
Bug: When viewing hidden albums, hidden folders on the external SD card are not shown. Only the hidden folders on the internal storage are shown.
[Android Apps and Games] AngelsnBeans:
Very nice app. I love all the possibilities to adjust the look and how the media is sorted:good:

Premiun version bought!

The only thing which has to be improved is the perfomance. When i take a picture and open the app it takes a few moments until the album is refreshed and the new picture is shown.

But i've read that there is an issue with loading all the media when opening and the devs are looking for a solution.
[Android Apps and Games] geekymr:
Wow its working really awesome. Thanks for a nice photo album app.
[Android Apps and Games] ThomasHolley:
Thanks dear, I was lookijng for it.
[Android Apps and Games] bzhindi:

I'm already using Google photos it's amazing.
[Android Apps and Games] Lycox:

I love this app. It's my go-to gallery app, it has completely replaced Piktures for me.
[Android Apps and Games] mobbdeep:
Definitely enjoying this gallery app by far to this day. I just have one question, is there a possibility to add creating albums within other albums?

Eg. I have an album called "iPhone Repairs" and want to put other albums inside that one. Similar to subdirectories inside a root directory.
[Android Apps and Games] tronchi:
In devices with notch (pocoF1 in my case) the top of the screen don't appear correctly
[Android Apps and Games] hilfebitte:
album visibility not working

open app, give storage permission, app starts loading all my pictures (including music art for 5,000+ songs lol)

go to settings, choose to include only DCIM>Camera

leave settings, silly app still loading music cover art

exit app, clear cache

open app again, still loading cover pictures

hit refresh, continues loading music cover images each in its own "album"

for the moment, uninstalling it and going back to the old, fast and reliable Quickpic (neutered version)

plz fix otherwise not functional

Samsung on Android 8.1
[Android Apps and Games] palorent:
I cant find Google Photos View in the App?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
What do you mean with "Google Photos View"? There is no Google Photo integration right now. You can change the basic desigh theme of the album view via Settings -> Theme -> Card view of Albums (or similar).
[Android Apps and Games] palorent:
OK,sorry,i understood it wrong.

Thank you very much:good:.
[Android Apps and Games] mobbdeep:
I can't seem to figure out why Memoria isn't loading in my pictures from Google Photos. I can see them in the Google Photos app but they're not stored locally on my device. On my OP6T, it found the pictures just fine but on my OP7P, it's not finding them.
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Maybe because this functionality is not implemented yet...
[Android Apps and Games] mobbdeep:
Makes sense. What do you recommend as the easiest way to sync my Google Photos to my device so that Memoria can then detect them?
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Don't know a single app with this feature. For Google Drive sync there's a lot of apps but not for G Photos.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Trying to free up space on my device and removed all of my backed up photos yet Memoria still holding onto 10GB. Is this thumbnail cache?
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Recicle bin?
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Doubtful. I only had 11g of pictures on my phone and recycle was set to 30 days yet there was 10gb of storage. I cleared app data and it was gone with no issues
[Android Apps and Games] hilfebitte:
still not working for me

it doesn't respect the visibility settings. i have it set to only show DCIM>Camera but this silly app insists on showing the thousands of folders with cover images of my music library

can you please do something to solve this behavior so it can become usable?

thanks in advance

Samsung device, Android 8.1
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
If you post the same polite feedback 3 times you will get a prize.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Not sure what you are doing wrong, but for me it was always working as intended (via Settings -> Album Visibility, then selecting which folders to show). A proper log file might actually help solving the issue.

BTW: did you try to clear Memoria's app cache after applying the filter rules and/or rebooting your device?
[Android Apps and Games] mrjuniork:
As much as I appreciate all the functions and customization that this app offers, it's just not that snappy. I'll always end up using stock OP gallery app coz is so much more faster. The app loading duration, the folder opening delay, browsing through the pictures, swiping etc.. All that is much slower than anticipated. I really hope this can improve, coz then I'll be using Memoria and nothing else. And I'm sure that this is possible, as it is obvious what a great dev you are!

Keep up the great work and thx for what has been done so far. Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] Roger.T:
Why should others do something if you yourself are too stupid to set up the app properly?

[Android Apps and Games] Sander9847:
He's right though I have the same problem, the albums visibility option doesn't work in settings. I deselect certain checkboxes but when going back and opening the setting again it's checked again.

It doesn't seem to save properly or something.
[Android Apps and Games] bobo_15:
Will there be the possibility to order albums manually?
[Android Apps and Games] Molt:
Will there be support for moving/live images soon? I really like that app!
[Android Apps and Games] Roocher:
Hello, is OneDrive Integration planned for the future?
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
At the current development rate I estimate about 2027.
[Android Apps and Games] molitar:
I could not get the app to hide sub-folders at all.

Videos

|---- Standard

|---- NSFW

|---- folder 1

|---- folder 2

So I told it to hide NSFW and it reports it will hide all under that folder but I still see the sub-folders. Is this a broken feature? I was interested in this app as it had a vault and I was planning to vault the entire folder if it worked good. But as vault does not work unless I purchase I have to test with hide.

[MENTION=2909862]Vertumus[/MENTION]

Hey there. Just wanted to ask you, if you could give an update about the current state of this project. That'd be appreciated, since you know for sure, communication is the key :)
[Android Apps and Games] kundifon:
Dear Developer(s) of Memoria,

you did a great job, because you created an develop a good gallery app. May I suggest you some improvements, feature requests and let you know some small issues for rework. Please take this as positive feedback.

1. overal speed: Currently the biggest issue is overal lack of speed. Pictures loads really slow, also sliding animation while browsing is laggy and slow. On my old phone (Samsung S4 mini with lineageOS based on android 9 pie) is Memoria almost unusable. Sorry it's really critical and it was much better in earlier versions.

2. Dark stripes in picture browsing: User interface in picture browsing need a small change, improvement. Those two dark stripes heavily affect the appearance and cut away quite big area of the picture. This is quite big issue I think.

Make this stripes more transparent or at least let user a choice and add a transparency set slider in the settings. All in all Memoria is nice personaled gallery with a lot of customization options. Add this suggested too.

Alternatively you can separate with a thinn line instead of dark stripe.

3. resizing and sharing: This is a new feature request. When you want to share pictures (via gmail, outlook,... etc.) ask for resizing before sharing. This save a lot of time and automate adding atachments. If possible please add in near future.

4. picture size info: You added a nice new future, controled with gesture. This is info about picture. I suggest to add an info of its size in megapixell to resolution. See anotated printscreen.

5. search, rename and tagging: In order to use search function there is defenitely a need to rename the pictures. Think about mass rename photos.

Another related thing are tags written in the file (like exif/iptc data). There is a standard way and many photo managers use this way (eg. google Picasa, ...) . It's platform and software independet. Don't forget to include tags in search result!

Sorry I can't publish pictures on this forum, wich have to be attached to this description. So check your email.
[Android Apps and Games] tremarley:
The title says "GOOGLE PHOTOS ALBUM VIEW" Where can I find this in the app?
[Android Apps and Games] Seosam:
Is the app development still alive?
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Probably dead. Icon packs are more profitable.
[Android Apps and Games] xSUMx:
Nah!!! Personal family business with the main Dev... Hope all is well and the app can get a needed update!!
[Android Apps and Games] San Diego:
Well uh I have no family business with the dev, but judging by his actions:

1. no update in over a year

2. I try to buy pro version, get charged and then.... Nothing. Still get ads and no extra features. (mod edit: some content removed)

3. This app is dead. Look at the devs Twitter feed. 100% icon packs only.

So.... App is deprecated and look elsewhere.

HA!! (mod edit: some content removed) took 3 of my payments (because it didn't show that I had received the purchase , just looked like the payment hadn't gone thru, but it did!)

(mod edit: some content removed)
[Android Apps and Games] trivjednom:
Well, I guess I invested in a project that is already dead ..? It would be a shame, as it was quite interesting ... But it's 2022 March and the last update sometime in 2019.
[Android Apps and Games] trivjednom:
Did they call you ..? Are they interested in improving ....? They could insert a video in front of the starred images
[Android Apps and Games] mrjuniork:
The dev hasn't been active on XDA for more than 2 years, so yes, it's safe to assume that this project is EOL
[Android Apps and Games] trivjednom:
Oh, that's why it's clear why Google play puts it on sale 😂😂
[Android Apps and Games] Pavamarea:
Could someone point me to an app similar to memoria? Because I already saw that it was added, it doesn't work correctly with sd card ext on android 13. I also paid for nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Not sure why you'd pay for the pro version of an app that was last updated over three years ago without checking to see that the free version works first.

Simple gallery is probably the closest gallery app to Memoria.
[Android Apps and Games] dobi3:
As Spanna said try Simple Gallery Pro.. It's open source.. Get from

Simple Gallery Pro - Apps on Google Play

Photo editor & gallery. Crop pictures & edit photos offline, no wifi!

play.google.com

Or

From F-Droid

Enjoy 😁 😁 👍
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Memoria was originally based on Simple Gallery's source along with code from Camera Roll (which also, it seems, is not being updated anymore).
[Android Apps and Games] dobi3:
I use this from F-Droid

Icon packs are much more profitable, they don't stop.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Vertumus' icon packs haven't been updated since early 2021 either but I still use a couple.

Memoria still works fine for me on Android 13 too.
[Android Apps and Games] Pavamarea:
I bought the app when it was still in development. What attracted me to this app was the vault. But during that time I was using versions of the original MIUI, MIUI 8, 9 and 10. When I decided to take my POCO F1 to the custom roms, I went for Android 12, I stayed there for a few months without any problems with Memoria, when I just went to Android 13 is that I noticed that there is no more support due to the lack of response from the developers regarding my problem with writing to the ext SD card.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Sorry, can't help there as my last few phones haven't had external SD cards.
[Android Apps and Games] Pavamarea:
Don't worry, I'm testing Simple Gallery, it's really interesting! I am very grateful.
[Android Apps and Games] Pinder4u:
Am definitely going to have pro version of this... Can we have a recycle bin option also.. it's good to have to have a recycle bin we want to restore some files.. am using simple gallery and I love recycle bin thing.
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
Hey,

yea, BIN is on our to do list and should be implemented soon and you will like our BIN, since it will be a bit really cool, with some options :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Seosam:
Thank you for your wonderful app!

Is it possible to hide the "hide album" in settings?
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
Hey,

can you be more specific? You want to Exclude hidden album from the app? If yes, first UN-HIDE that album > then go to settings > Albums Visibility > un-tick that album to exclude it from the app
[Android Apps and Games] Seosam:
I mean to exclude the feature to show hidden folders. My wife don't understand the difference between safe and hidden folders. So it would be nice if she only have the feature safe and normal.

(Sorry for my bad English)
[Android Apps and Games] hnkotnis:
Beautifully made application, with every piece of UI thought over and whole lot of customization available, these are rare features in many apps. This is going to replace old version of QuickPic I was using before Cheetah took over it. I'm going to buy the Pro version. The app won my heart right when it first started up with its initial loading animation. Kudos to you!

One feature I would like to request is a toggle switch in settings to disable deletion of albums. I've seen a lot of people (especially senior citizens) delete whole album by mistaking album thumbnail for actual image.

Another is ability to show album size in its properties. And if it is possible sorting of Albums by user preference. (An example is Piktures gallery app on Play Store where you can drag the albums up and down to sort as per your wish).
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
Hey,

some of your suggestions are quite nice, we will see what we can do about them :)

Regarding deleting, in Settings > there is option to toggle on/off delete confirmation dialog, if you turn it on, it will always ask you are you sure you want to delete an item

Cheers

Hey my friend,

What seems to be the issue? All Facebook is Facebook SDK, because we need it for ads inside app, FB are paying ads the most. Google thing is for Google ads, analytics is just simple analytics that google provide, crashlytics is for tracking crashes, Firebase is another thing for bugs and crashes in the background. With this we are able to see how app performs and Mopub is also ads. Nothing suspicions and nothing to go inside you privacy or jeopardize it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
You are most welcome my friend :)
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
Hey,

many thanks for the support and rating, really means a lot!

Can I ask you just for one more small favor even though I dont feel comfortable asking it :(

Can you go and hit that 5* star rating button on FREE version also, many users are slamming our rating with 1* mostly without any particular reason :crying:

Here is the LINK https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.memoria.photos.gallery

Once more, many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] GreatLordAnt:
Really loving this app, will probably go pro shortly.

One suggestion would be the ability to not show videos. I like my picture viewer to show just pictures I use sobering else for videos. Cloud would also be good but you're already working on that one.

Keep up the good work guys.
[Android Apps and Games] Seosam:
Free and paid got 5 stars!
[Android Apps and Games] Vertumus:
Hey,

that feature is there already :) just press 3 dot menu > filter media > and just un-tick videos :)

Let me know if you need further help
