[Q] Photo gallery locking up - Samsung Infuse 4G

What's the deal...almost every day if I open my galley it'll sit there for a few minutes and than my phone will reboot. Not sure what the issue is.

Install "QuickPix" from market. Its better than gallery.
Better still, if u r rooted, u can choose to either freeze the gallery app in TiBu, or rename the apk to bak in root explorer, or delete it altogether.

I have the same problem, ended up installing Fish Bowl Beta as nothing seemed to work to resolve the issue but I'm going to check out this Quickpic app now.

Gallery

The stock gallery will not stay open, it opens and closes. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks
I have been having the same problem lately. Can't figure out why.
Haven't seemed to have any problems.
Had the same problem, so I started using a free gallery app called QuickPic.
You have a corrupt pic file, look for one in quickpic that won't allow you to open it and erase it.

I tried that and no joy. Anyone have any other ideas?
Here's what I found, I wiped my SD card and removed Camera360 Ultimate. The Gallery opened fine, I re-installed Camera360 took a picture and the Gallery FC. That seems to what is causing it for me.

Gallery app

I have been using my infuse for about a month now, coming from using iphone since it came out long ago.
One of the most annoying things i have noticed is when I try to see a pic or a video using the default gallery app, it shows all the folders with images eg.music albums, is there an app or a way of just accessing the camera folder only?
Thanks .

Copy a blank text file with the file name ".nomedia" into each folder you don't want to appear in the gallery.
I've been using Quickpic from the market on my cappy instead of the gallery for a while now. Really like it and you can hide or exclude certain folders. it's a bit faster than the stock gallery (at least on the cappy anyway).
I think there may be a way to keep the gallery from looking in certain folders similar to how you can block sound files from music players (put a .nomedia file or something like that in the folder you don't want).

Its blazing fast even on Infuse. Replaced my stock gallery app immediately!

[Q] Delete ROM default launcher????

I've read what I've been able to find so far about replacing launchers and still little confused. If I download another launcher from the market can I then use TB to delete the launcher in the system folder? or do I actually have to replace the launcher in the system folder? I flashed Valhalla BlackEdition and can't read Chinese in the 360 launcher.
BTW I just don't want multiple launchers if I don't have to have them.
Simply place another launcher.apk in your system/app folder keep the 360 launcher until you have verified the other launcher works.

I hated 360launcher as well. Do what the post above recommends. If it's moved to the system, then it cannot be deleted... easily. Make sure it is a good launcher though- one that wont start force closing constantly. After you are sure that your launcher is installed any works, use a program, such as root uninstaller, to get rid of 360 launcher.
I got rid of it and it worked fine. Do not, I repeat, do not get rid of Amazon MP3, or any process related to it. It will cause random force closes, with no fix.

I use adw (only launcher installed on my phone)
and I deleted anything with Amazon in the name including mp3.
I have yet to experience any fc. So something else must of been causing your problem.
I'm running octane 3.0 (completely debloated of course) at the moment, but I was on Valhalla black before this.

I use Dolphin HD..
I also delete anything Amazon on every ROM I have flashed and I've flashed just about every ROM in our forum. I have never gotten force closes related to removing Amazon apps.

Can you update us on that please?
Didi you rename the launcher or keep the original file name?
Considering that this thread had ALL its activity in January of 2012... I'm guessing what was done 20 months ago doesn't really matter that much to Shady anymore.

How to get rid of carhome???

Ok, so I got a g2x eb rom, faux kernel and a magnetic holster on my belt.
The problem is, carhome keeps popping up every time I place my phone in and take it out. Freakin annoying.
Nothing is working and I can't find carhome launcher apk ANYWHERE, only carhome apk.
Tried:
1. Un install through ti bckup and android
2. Dock no app and other apps that should stop carhome from starting
3. Pm packages disable through terminal
4. Delete apk altogether...
Nothing is working. Any suggestions?

have you tried removing it via adb? I mean, delete it, reboot and you may get an error if s/g tries to launch it. Also try an app called app quarantine, I use it to freeze apps and I know it works for car home. You can also try a program called ROM Tool box, by JRummy. If nothing works, get a new ROM, or reflash as it could just be bugged.
Thanks.
The problem is, I unstalled via titanium. No apk of carhome.
So there is no apk to quarantine or stop via apps.
I think my problem is that the carhome launcher is the pia. I can't seem to figure out how to disable the launcher. No launcher apk anywhere.

Have you tried using Bloater app?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I did the following to get rid of it:
1) extract the cahome.apk from the ROM zip file and install it.
2) Once installed it should show up in titanium backup
3) tap on car home in titanium backup and click wipe data and then the uninstall.
4) reboot,
That should remove it .

I used Rom Toolbox from the app store and uninstalled it. Poof its gone and no issues! Just go into the apps section and hold car home, then select uninstall.
Glad one of.my suggestions worked. Please hit the thanks button.

Yeah installing /uninstall doesn't work. For some reason it always comes back.
I got a diff app, disablecarhome on the market and that one finally seems to work.... If that acts up again I'll try the apps mentioned.

Oops, nvm, was reading the post on a bumpy bus, thought the person who said they used ROM toolbox was you. What app exactly did you use and why?
I am not an advance user, but I did managed to removed that piece of **** carhome without ****ing anything up.
1) Install Root Uninstaller. It is a free app on market. (I assume you have root access, since you said you are using faux and eb rom)
2) Find Carhome, check it, hit Backup in case you want it back, then uninstall. The apk should be saved on your phones internal sd right now, back it up to your pc as you desired.
3) At this point, your phone should pop out something about kineto (sp?), crashing. I've try anything I can think of but nothing will back you out of that error loop. No fear though! All you have to do is pull battery out
4) Turn the phone back on, now enjoy your phone without that piece of **** app bothering the **** outa you
Freezing it should also work since it is not available in app drawer.

If it's just the stocks app, you can move the apk from /system/app to somewhere on your sd card (for backup purposes). Any root file explorer will allow you to do this. OR, you can just freeze it with Titanium.

Truff, this man speaks it! FWIW, I'd just freeze in TiBu.
I feel like a better option would probably be to figure out WHY the stocks app is using so much CPU...when I was still on the RUU the app rarely did anything even though I put stocks into it and such. Maybe something's wrong?

Maybe syncing in the background? And if there's no connection it could be looking for one constantly.
