When attaching files to gmail emails, you go to the "open from" menu. There are other areas that takes you to this or a similar menu. Is there any way to edit/mod/hack the items/apps that show on the list of available selections? See pic.

i don't know about mod/hack or etc.... but the point is, you get to reach every location for selecting file you want to attach. you got file manager, that's all. unless you want to less the options etc..
Thanks for the reply. But yes, looking for less options and choices as I only use 4-8 of the choices and many I will never use.

They seems to be the default options of the app itself, maybe there are some ways ti less them or alternate app for gmail. I'm not aware of any relative app for specific limited options. Maybe there won't be any but might be possible doing modifications. Lets see, incase someone here have any info/help on that.

I was wondering if anyone knows, or has looked into at all a way to change the names displayed before widgets on the home screen. Like change "Google Talk" to just "Talk" Or "Google Voice" to just "Voice"
Sorry if this has been asked I didn't see anything when I searched.
It has been asked, but i think it envloves taking apart the files included in the APK and then adjusting them as necessary. But, doing that requires that you have the ability to resign the file. It's seems like alot of work. Also notice alot of the programs are called com.*** this is a java naming convention that tends to be passed off to lots of programs.
you could also grab a program called AnyCut. it lets you create shortcuts for anything, including people (straight to text or call), programs, certain settings, etc, and lets you name it whatever you want
its free in the market.
Thanks for the info, I'll check out AnyCut
Anybody know if theres an app that will automagically move pictures taken in a geo location and move them to a folder or highlight them somehow? Every day after work I end up full of pictures that I need either deleted or archived on a daily basis
Any help is very much appreciated.

The stock Gallery app does this.hit the menu button on top right and select 'Group by". You then have the option to set location as the sort method. I too have to delete boat loads of work photos and find this method a lot easier.

Hi I need pba ic scrap 8 gb 16gb so my contact no is 9899961391 same as what's app
good app
Doesn't work for me. App themes work, but nothing shows in the gif window no matter what I search. Share button doesn't do anything either, but that could just be because there is nothing to share. Gif Overlay is set to be allowed to draw over other apps in my device btw.

That should only happen if there is an error contacting the server for the search or parsing the search response data.
Could you check adb logcat messages? You should see some error there.

Got it to work! For some reason it didn't work until I disabled my VPN. Then after a successful gif search I rebooted the device and it seemed to be working fine with my VPN. It works great now for most apps, but for the few that it doesn't, is it possible to maybe allow for the Gif to be somehow copied right into whatever text field you're in or is sharing to the app the only way? Great app though btw. Thank you!

I could copy the url to clipboard on long press a gif.

That would be cool. I guess there's no way to really copy the image itself to clipboard is there? Only text? I've been looking for an app that does that myself for a long time.

As far as I know, you can copy the image to the clipboard. The problem is that the app where you are pasting will not understand you are pasting an image unless they have implemented that.

Generally, when you touch and hold an image in an app you can share or download it and share it to wherever, but i don't think I've ever seen a "Copy to Clipboard" option except when copying text. I see what you mean about pasting the image though and maybe a gif would be even more complicated to do that with.
I wonder if it would be better if you set it the touch and hold the image function to download the gif instead. Then you could add it anywhere.
Changelog 1.4

Thank you! I tried it out and for some reason I'm still having connection problems. Even turning off my VPN doesn't seem to make it search. I noticed that sometimes when turning off my WiFi connection it will search right away, but not all the time. I wonder if I'm the only one having this issue. When it does search it does appear to download, but even when searching my entire sdcard for "gif" or ".gif" or even the name that it says it saved as afterwards I can't seem to find where it saves. It seems as if maybe it's not really saving, at least as a gif. Can't find it when opening the gallery either. Opening it in gallery from the download notification does show it, but it doesn't allow you to view any details on it either, nor does it let you share it when opening it like that. URL copy works fine, though maybe a toast message saying it's copied would help to let people know that it has copied, otherwise, unless you try to paste somewhere it appears as if it's done nothing. Share works fine as usual. Anyhow, I hope this helps. Thank you!

I've a attached a verbose log here for you to look at in case you need it. Had to zip it because apparently 2kb is too big for text on XDA? Anyhow, I hope this helps. Thank you!

Can't see anything weird in the logs.
The download triggers the android downloadmanager so the file can go to some weird place like /data/data/com.android.providers.download. I could change it so it goes to the downloads folder but then I need to add an extra permission.
And yeah adding some sort of message or toast is a good idea.

That would be great. I think I figured out that it goes to "/data/data/gif.overlay/cache/image_manager_disk_cache". The files in there were ".0" format, but when I changed it to ".gif" they showed the gifs I was trying to download. Assuming those aren't just the cached images from the search that is. Regardless you can't really access them or share them when they're outside of the sdcard.

No the ones inside the gif.overlay folder are either cached images from the search (those are not the final version but downsampled images to make it faster) or files saved before sharing. The downloaded ones should end up as giphy.gif somewhere where the downloadmanager puts it (in my case /data/data/com.android.providers.download).

Yeah. Just checked and you're right. The gifs do go to"/data/data/com.android.providers.download/cache/". Strange that they weren't showing up in my system wide search. Regardless, it would be cool if they could go to the "downloads" or "pictures" or a "/sdcard/Gif Overlay/" folder or something. Then there would be no end to the possibilities.
Now I just have to figure out why it's only connecting like half the time. Just tried again and it worked. Earlier though it wasn't. It must be something on my end. Not sure.
EDIT: Downloaded "Advanced Download Manager" from the Play Store and set it to auto incercept copied links for now, so that now I just have to click the copy function in the app and ADM asks me where I want to save it to. Clean flashed a new rom too and now I'm not having any more connection issues btw. Must've been something blocking it on my old configuration.
Changelog 1.5
* Added option to select window position.
* Bug fixing.
In the stock app, Files, I select some file, then click 'More'.
In the pop-up menu, what on earth does the menu item, 'Move to Safe', mean?
If I have moved some file to safe, then where and how to find this file?
Thank you in advance.

If you go to files, you'll notice bottom right is a folder named safe. It means its name; it is where you keep those documents you want no one to see. Maybe financial records, picture perhaps, that church video or a recording that's personal.
You can secure it with pin and fingerprint. After that, you can't access those files through the normal channels but will have to go through the safe.
There are several ways of adding files to the safe one of which is through the safe itself.
Another way is the one you mentioned; by selecting and sending.
I have all my academic and financial records in the safe....

Hi people.
No matter what I try, I don't get the bluetooth option when I want to share a file. I've even paired with the other phone, tried other file managers, but no luck.
I'll select the file, select the share option, and then get a popup listing what appears to be frequent/recent contacts over various apps in the top row, then a row with what seems to be frequent/recent apps, then an app list, but nowhere is bluetooth an option. I've scrolled up, down, left, right, I've done everything obvious and slightly less obvious that I could think of. Is this a bug, or some stupid security setting or something? The internet is full of bluetooth related issues with the Pixel 2, it seems, but none I've found addresses this issue.
Regards

Bluetooth can only share text files and photos , so it depends on what type of file is being shared. If you want to share other type of files(other than text and photos) then just rename the last part of file name to txt,pdg, mp4, the Bluetooth share Option is available after being shared just rename file to it original name the file will be back.

That most definitely is not a limitation. I can share that same file from another phone over Bluetooth.
