[Q]Dropbox Gallery Integration - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Is anybody having issues getting the Dropbox to integrate with the stock Gallery app? Everytime I try to select it from the drop-down list the Gallery app FC's.
I have a Rogers One X with SuperCID. I ran the 1.85 AT&T RUU on it and installed CleanROM 2.1.

I have the same issue on cleanrom 2.1 and now 2.2 as well. I'm not sure if this was happening before I started using cleanrom. Hopefully someone has a fix for this.

There was an issue scrosler stated in the cleanrom thread about there being a problem with dropbox and gallery but I thought I remember seeing that it was for people who flashed and were not on the 1.85 ruu.

Same here. On stock, 1.73, I remember it working cause I was like, that's pretty cool. Haven't been able to get it to work for quite awhile now (I'm on 1.85 running clean rom but was on 1.82 prior and it was a no go with it as well). It really was the only reason I was keeping that gallery app cause I normally use quikpic or some other app instead. With space being so limited now, most of my pics are up on either dropbox or facebook so it would be nice to have that integrated (and working).

so I never even noticed that you should be able to view your drop box gallery from your phone gallery (if Im seeing/thinking this correctly). But when I click on the drop down and select drop box it says there are no folders to view, am I missing something?

Do you have it set up to automatically upload pictures you take? AFAIK, It will only show pictures that are in the dedicated "Camera Uploads" folder that is set up when you enable this option.

Same issue on the Modaco ROM (which I baked to be as close to stock as possible, ie. no vanilla stuff.)
And my Camera Uploads folder looks fine when I log into the website... however, I think it contains pics from my old phone, since some of them date back to January. Maybe (but not likely) this is a problem. I'll try clearing the folder and see what happens.

Well, this may not be very helpful information... but when I delete the entire "Camera Uploads" folder from my DropBox, the Gallery app does not crash. It does, however, tell me that there are no albums, so it's useless. As soon as I take a photo and it uploads, Gallery starts crashing again.

[APP] SnapSwap - Android Photoswap clone

Hi all
Im new here so I hope this is posted right. Ive developed an Android app that is similar to the iPhone Photoswap app. For those not aware, Photoswap lets you take a photo and send it to a random person, and you will in return receive a random photo back. You can then take part in picture-conversations with the person who you received a photo from.
Ive had a couple people testing my app and it seems to just about ready (apart from using the default app icon), and I'd like to put it out there for others to start using (and hopefully provide some feedback on ) Im new to android development (although not new to programming itself), and this is my first android app. IMHO it works better than the similar Picswap app that exists already, as this doesnt force-close constantly or throw-out error messages regarding "corrupt" images
I have attached the APK with my post for anyone who wishes to download and install it
There is a known issue with the app at the moment that it does not (at least on HTC devices) delete any photos that you have taken, and they still appear in your Photos app. From what Ive found, using the camera Intent saves 2 copies of the photo to the SD card, and Ive only found one path from the URI to delete (so 1 copy is deleted, but the other remains). These can be deleted from the Photos app still however, but Im looking into how to delete these automatically from the app also.
Edit: The app also starts with a blank screen (no default image yet), just press the menu key to begin
Edit 16th September: New APK uploaded, fixes some threading issues and adds debug log output. Please download and install this as the old one may continue to run in the background and not pause properly when changing apps.
For those having issues, please use aLogCat (from the market) and filter by "SnapSwap" to access the debug log. Please PM me a copy of this along with your phone model and android version and I will look into it Most issues so far seem to be with Cyanogen Mod and Motorola users
hay, i'm one of the beta testers,
and this app is really nice
i hope the optic would be a bit better in the next beta , but it makes fun to "swapping" pictures with other testers !
it is much faster then "a world of photo" it never take longer then 10sec since i get a picture
Really nice and weLL done
Greetings from germany !
Thanks for sharing!
Im going to try make an icon for it soon along with a default image to be shown as well, and adjust the polling time with the server for replies (or even look at adding a push notification system to it)
Just updated the APK in my original post to fix some bugs as at least one user was not being assigned a unique ID properly, updated the server to watch for this also.
For those that have already installed the app, I recommend installing this one over it
If those that have installed it could provide some feedback it would also be greatly appreciated
nice idea i like it , i will share my photo with others sounds good
i will feed u back
I downloaded, installed and when i took a pic it immediately force closed.

There has not been any unwanted material sent via it as yet. Im looking into the best way to ban those that would at the moment. As it is currently though, devices are only identified via a unique ID provided by the server the first time the device accesses it, and this is extremely simple to get around if I were to "block" a device.
To those that have had force-closures: Can you please let me know the following..
1) Do you have an SD Card installed?
2) What device are you using?
3) What version of Android are you running?
Works great for me on Samsung Vibrant. I only get one copy of the pictures (that I take), then of course the temp files SnapSwapImg.jpg (the last pic I took) and SnapSwapImg2.jpg (the last one I received). I totally dig the application! You can reply to pictures (of course, with other pictures), receive replies, and even continue your "pic conversation" with that individual. Yeah, you could end up with a dude's (or chick's, though I doubt there'd be many complaining) junk in exchange for your picture, but putting in any kind of regulation for something like that just ruins the whole point of the application. Can't wait to see this adopted by more people.

Gallery.apk

Requesting stock Gallery.apk if possible. I've found numerous .apk files regarding this but nothing for our Samsung Galaxy Tablets. My model is from Sprint so not sure if it needs to be the same .apk from the carrier or not. Much appreciated, thank you.
Number22 is a XDA member who developed open-source improvements for the stock Gallery3D.apk. You can search this forum to find a download source (there's an official discussion thread started by Number22 about his custom build). His version removes the sensor (battery-draining) bug, and enables better picture resolution, faster indexing, etc. Worth trying in my opinion.
Thank you for the suggestion but that is what I have currently and I am still getting the Force Closed errors. It was my mistake in the first place not to backup the original apk file but what can you do. I'll attempt to re-install it again and see if I have any luck. If anyone does have the stock application it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Edit : This is the post you are talking about, correct? I still am getting the FC issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752007
I can confirm the fc errors with the gallery apk by number 22. Its a shame considering the fixes made in his apk. Fc occurs after reboots and reinstalling will temporarily fix it.

If you are trying to get higher resolution images take a look at Large Image Viewer, when you compare a picture in the stock Gallery to LIV the differences are very evident to see ~ especially when you zoom in close.
Thanks man I appreciate that. At this point though I am still in need of the stock gallery app to keep my tab from force closing and forgetting icon arrangements every time I power cycle

Instagram hangs on processing

Hi Forum
I bought HTC Sensation two days back. Instagram giving me problem. It stuck on processing, and my phone goes unresponsive. I have to put my battery out. -a thing that I dont want to do every time-.
How to get rid of this issue? Any one having issue with Instagram?
Thanks for your time.

Are you trying to process pic from gallery and not from the current pic you took with the camera?
The issue happened when I process pic that I just taken. Once issue happened when I process the pic that I took from stock camera. And second time issue happened when I took picture from Instagram camera.
In both ways, app read the pic from gallery. Am I right?

That's a problem with instagram , even myself have the same problem. Instagram cant process picture from the Gallery. So you must process it immediately after you took it from camera. Also the ugly thing when you try to load from the galley you notice the confirmation message at the back the Green and Red button, when i use it for the first time thought someone was calling. LOLS, so live with it or uninstall
I picked a existing picture from gallery and it successfully uploaded. But when I select the picture that just taken by camera it hangs.
By this, it means I should give it a delay. And then upload pic on Instagram.

Are you rooted and running a custom ROM or are you stock?
If you are rooted, flash the attached file. It's the newest GL 218. It helps FPS and boosts the performance of your device. It will also help with your Instagram issues, specially if you are rooted, the older GL versions had issues with it.

I wanna say there is a way to flash even though you have S-On. I always root, so unfortunately I don't know the process or any guide that might help you.
You might want to check into that. There may even be another way that I am not aware of. It's something worth looking into if you want to fix instagram.

My phone suffers from the same problem.
I believe it has something to do with the HTC Gallery because in AOSP/CyanogenMod ROMs this never happens to me. After you share a photo from gallery and it hangs, if you check your DCIM folder in the SD Card after 5 minutes, the .thumbnails folder has a lot of space taken. (Mostly from 500-1.5GB for me) If it's empty the app hangs and freezes. Don't know why but thumbnails folder get full after the app freezes and those files are temporary and get deleted after some time for me.
You just gotta live with it and hope you're lucky if it doesn't freeze, or use an aosp rom.

I am also having the same problem. It's driving me crazy having to take off my otterbox and removing my battery every time I want to post a pic. Nothing has been working. Clearing data, uninstalling, force stopping, my phone just keeps freezing.
If memory serves, it's to do with the OGL that HTC have used. If you want to fix it, you'll need to use a custom ROM.

installing Instagram to the Internal Storage fixed this ! ...but filters don't work all the time
I'm using MildWild's Rom (HTC Desire), it has this option to install apps to your internal, even though app2sd is installed
other solutions I found(didnt work for me, might work for others) were:
-Instagram>Settings>Advanced Features>Use HQ Image Processing
-Go to Developer Settings>Force GPU Rendering
-Crop/resize to 612by612 before uploading (Filters work if I use this)
-Dont use filters
-Use instagram itself to take teh pictures

[Q] Help with deodex'ing

Hello all.
So I've been doing a bit of work trying to get Youtube links to work properly on AT&T ROMs (namely 1.85.)
Now, on Rogers ROMs, this isn't a problem. Click a youtube link, and it will ask you what app to open it in. I understand that this feature has been crippled in the AT&T ROMS due to the Apple patent infringements. So, I want to pull the Browser.apk from a Rogers ROM and put it in an AT&T ROM. However, I'm running CleanROM, which is de-odexed. I've pulled Browser.apk and Browser.odex from the Rogers 1.73 ROM, pushed them into /system/app/, replacing the de-odexed apk that was in there. And fixed the permissions of course. However, the "Internet" icon doesn't show up, nor does it appear in Settings -> Apps.
So, can anyone help me deodex the Browser.apk/odex from Rogers 1.73?
Yes, I'm aware that the apps in 1.73 might have framework differences that are causing it to not work, but I'd still like to try it out.
(As for more details on the youtube fix, I'll be posting that info in the General section.)
I'm actually pretty sure that the youtube clicking thing doesn't depend on the browser you are using. Its an apk in /system/app called HTCLinkifyAdapter or something like that (HTCLink_____, i forget ).
I'm saying this because even using Chrome Beta the links don't open in Youtube.

You're correct. As mentioned in the post I made in the General forum, you need to remove HTCLinkify. Once you do that, links from external apps stop working with the stock browser. If you remove the HTC Browser and use Chrome (or any other 3rd party browser,) then the youtube app functions the way that it should. That's why I'd like to deodex the HTC Browser from a Rogers ROM, as it *should* (but not necessarily will) work fine.
I still have a few other things to try, but I'm bogged down with paperwork tonight.

[Q] Is there a solution to seamlessly group texting with multiple Iphone users?

I'm not referring to the groupMe app, because they'd also have to install that.
I've tried Go SMS, pansi SMS, chomp SMS, and they don't seem to do it perfectly.
When I receive a group text from an iphone user, I want it to make a new thread with all members of the group text, where I can seamlessly respond to all users. Moreover, the stock app does this in a way that my response is not received as a group text on their end, but simply a message to them (as well as whoever else was in the group). Thus, the response goes into our 1v1 chat thread.
All I want is a plugin, rom, app, anything that solves this ridiculously frustrating issue.
I'd like to know as well. I have not been able to find an easy way to do it. I'm guessing it's Apple hating on us Android folks.
GoSMS does it very well, subject to a few limitations, not sure why it is not working for you. A couple of things to keep in mind.
1) The proper threading is not native but is run after the fact. This requires that the message be fully downloaded before it is properly threaded. This can take 10-15 seconds, if you open the message during that time it will not thread correctly.
2) Unfortunately the app will notify you twice, once the original message is received, and once it is recategorized. I handle this by shutting of sound and vibration in the app and using Tasker instead. If two notifications arrive within 15 secs Tasker just ignores the second one.
From what I have been told Handcent will do something similar
The GoSMS / Handcent implementations are ****. Sorry, but they are.
I've heard tell that Android finally put native group SMS / MMS into Android 4.2, which will likely never come to our phone officially but hopefully we'll get some of the benefit at least as things trickle down in the development community.
I'm also trying to find a solution to this too and I'm always hoping that every update of Go Sms and Handcent fixes this feature. Like one of the previous replies above stated, GO SMS will give you double notifications. It's annoying because it slows down your phone if you get too many all at once.
I've found that Handcent works better than GO SMS because it only notifies you after the message has been downloaded and you don't get double notifications. However, it's still flawed because sometimes your messages hang and dont download properly unless you physically click download. Also, sometimes when you're sending a text and try to hit send, it looks like it sends but just disappears. If you wrote a long message, you would have to re-type it all over again and hope it sends correctly the second time.
If you install CM 10.1 (android 4.2.2), this group messaging feature is baked into the rom. This is probably the best experience I've had to get the group messaging to work. It works like how an iphone user would see it. However, CM 10.1 still has some minor glitches that made me temporarily go back to sense roms. With every nightly, things seem to be getting better though. I will probably try it again in a couple weeks.
Currently I'm back on Viper using Handcent.

I've successfully run a CM10.1 mms.apk in CM10, but I've never tried this with Sense. Do you know what ROM that mms.apk file you have is actually from? I know CM10.1's mms.apk is compiled to require a minimum of JB 4.1, but versions from other JB 4.2 ROMs might have possibly been compiled to require JB 4.2
FWIW: mms.apk file is normally located in the /system/app folder, which requires root permissions to move a file to. File permissions might also need to be modified. Sense doesn't normally has a mms.apk in there since the stock messaging app is built around Sense and I believe the name starts with "htc", but I would assume a new mms.apk would at least run. I'm not sure whether this file location and permissions are actually part of your problem
update -
I've tried the entire process of putting the app in system, setting permissions, and installing, rebooting etc. No avail. App still force closes as soon as it opens.
I think the problem is in fact something to do with sense. I deleted the old messaging app as well first but that didn't do anything either.
Damn.
4.2.2 MMS force closes on viper 4.1
I uninstalled all the htc language packs, htc messaging. Install mms.apk.
I can get the app open, change settings, type a message... But as soon as I add a recipient it force closes.
Since I can do the things I can with the app open seems as though it should be able to work
If there is anyone that wants to work on this? I don't want to bug Turge with it.
Which mms.apk did you install?
