I love sense 4.0 roms but I hate how the HTC Gallery handles Picasa pictures. When I want to email it or send it via mms it sends a link and not just the picture.
In AOSP roms it sends the actual picture. I searched in the marketplace but cannot find an app that is like the AOSP gallery app... Any help would be appreciated.
I tried PicasaTool by COLIFER LAB, free on Google play, sent a link and the picture too; give it a try.

I am coming from a vibrant and I love having access to my picasa web albums in the main phone gallery. I can not find a way to do that on the MT4G. Anyone know if it is possible?
Thanks!

Nope it is not possible out of the box since sense comes with its own gallery app. you have to wait till someone port the Android gallery app for MT4G
its called Gallery3D, its free in the market. works just like the n1
I'm currently using Gingerbread Sense Rom for my DHD, however the only reason I use it is for the Facebook integration, the style of the message app is nice but not dissimilar to the stock app and the rest is quite similar or easily replaceable.
Is there an app I'm not aware of that recreates the Sense functionality for non-Sense roms? Would rather use CM7 Nightlies but I do like the contacts and Facebook integration.
Though it us not very sense like, try "go contacts". It is miui like and actually very good
Sent from my glacier using XDA App
Truthfully the design doesn't bother me it's the Facebook integration (automatic pictures and statuses), the auto-linking contacts based on name etc
If you purchase Launcher Pro they have numerous "sense-like" widgets including one for contacts. There is also a free app on the Market called Photo Contracts widget that is similar.
........
Thanks, Colorize does a similar thing too but is there nothing that replicates just how integrated Facebook is with Sense UI? The official Facebook app itself is awful with contacts so I recall... It's nice to just have pictures automatically updates (SyncMyPix is fine but it to be done automatically without extra apps is far better!)
Hi chrisa86,
I'm totally with you. Yesterday I flashed CyanogenMod on my Desire. Coming from a sense-based ROM, specially the Contacts App is a pain. I want my nice and clear list with links and Facebook back!
I don't mind Widgets, because I'm using Launcher Pro, but the App itself.
So far, I tried Youlu, but is it more at the stock side than on the Sense side
Unfortunately, there is nothing like the Facebook integration in Sense. And the latest Gingerbread update even went back in terms of the Facebook/Android connexions.
That's the only thing I miss from Sense ROMS actually...
Yes, I just flashed Redux rom (which is very good by the way) to try gingerbread, and I'm badly missing the HTC contacts as well.
Additionally from facebook integration, there's also something missing: the ability to type a person name's directly from the dialer (aka Smart Dial : http://www.mobisleapps.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screen-shot-2010-01-12-at-4.16.47-PM.png)
Any workarounds ?
Dialer One in the market has smart dial. You can set that as your default phone app.
Yep, I should have done more research before asking. I just realized that there are numerous alternative dialers.
However, to get back to the OP question, nothing like sense contacts (for facebook sync) at the moment, right ?
I bought my Thunderbolt on launch day and have been waiting patiently for some custom ROM goodness. The one thing I really would like to have now is the Picasa sync in the gallery. I'm not sure if I can just download the 3D gallery apk and install it like any other apk and have it work. Anyone know if this is possible or do I need to root and such now? I was hoping to wait to root till things are a little further along and there were more options for doing so.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You just need the old gallery app thats on the market. Works with that.
I too would like to see some built in support to add Picasa sync to other things as well though. I was upset they pulled it
I just use + Gallery, works great and synced my Picasa albums. Free on market. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tml.media
I have the Picasso for HTC sense sync apk. I will post it when I am back on a PC. It will work natively with gallery. All my pics are on picasa too. Not sure why its not in by default.

Try JustPictures!, best gallery app imo and it syncs everything: Picasa, Flickr, Facebook, SmugMug, ...

I'd like to get a hold of that as well. I'm using a 3d gallery I got from I believe a nexus 1, and it works fine, but I'd like to use the native gallery.
EDIT: here's a link to the gallery I'm using. http://db.tt/zETbnJQ

picasa apk
here you go. this installs fine on the bolt. and works with the native gallery app too. enjoy
I wonder why HTC would leave this feature out? I'm going to try one of the other apps mentioned. I miss my pics!

Is this legitimate? The apk has a lot of permissions.
I recently changed from CM9 to Fallout 2.0. I like having the Sense UI back
What annoys me is that the contact pictures in this Sense-ROM look really crappy. Using CM9 I had hi-res pictures everywhere. It looked especially great when accessing a contact or getting a call.
But now on Sense 4 it looks very pixelated.
FYI: The pictures are synced from my google contacts.
Is there a possibility to improve the quality of the contact pictures?
i find that stock cam(endymion) has a much better quality than cm7 which i had previously.
Did you try to reassign your photos again to the contacts? I did that and it works when I change roms instead of using Google's back up assistance contact photos because I had that same issue.

Look at the application from the maker ultimate call screen hd

Swyped from my DesireS
Or ultimate contact sync HD by lowveld...

Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!
Reassigning the picture on the phone did help. But I already assigned the hi-res pictures via gmail. This gets tedious if I have to reset each picture on the phone. Unfortunately this seems to be the only option.
Well, installing applications for additional functions is not what I was looking for.
I really was hoping for a setting I did not see. Because the contacts look great as they are without any tweaks on the phone when using CM9.
I'll try Ultimate HD Contacts and give a feedback
[Update]
Ultimate Contacts HD crashes when I tap a contact...
Hi guys,
I basically just sold me SG S3 and swapped it for the HTC One S, which might I add, was a good decision! I'm by no means a power user and definitely rate the aesthetics and build quality from the One S over the power you get from the S3. Just my preference really.
Anyways. one thing that's bugging me with the One S, which is probably a HTC Sense thing.. But the Gallery app sucks! When using my S£ (and previously my Nexus S), I was able to view Picasa Albums as if they were stored locally. I.e. if I wanted to set a photo somewhere in my Picasa albums as a desktop image, I cannot seem to do it in HTC Sense.
Where as with my old Nexus S and SG S3, I was able to view the photos stored on Picasa as if they were local files and do with them whatever I could do with proper local files.
I can see my Picasa albums, by selecting "Albums" from the top-left dropdown and selecting "Picasa Web Albums", but cannot really do anything with the photos other than view them!
Anyone know why this is/what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Nik
I was having the same problem, even with the AOSP gallery on CM10 that's supposed to sync with Picasa. I found a version of the AOSP gallery somewhere on XDA that actually works though. Try searching around XDA or the Android Market for ICS gallery or maybe JB gallery or even sideload the gallery from your SGS3 backup if you have it...the version of the Gallery.apk that works for me is 1.1.30682...
