[Request] Mod for Gmail app and Camera app

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to mod the gmail app so that it allows you to download attachments directly from the app rather than just previews. Also for the Camera app when viewing pictures you have taken, is it possible to mod it so u can change the picture by swiping like in the gallery instead of using the stupid forward and backward arrows? Any devs wanna give it a shot?
The camera thing might be possible... the gmail thing... well, the gmail app is closed source & proprietary....
pretty sure froyo has direct download from gmail
anyone wanna take a crack at modding the camera to do this?

haha i just checked the camera app and it does open the gallery so you can indeed swipe to go through your pictures. You should just wait for froyo

ok heres how it is: apk files emailed show "install"
picture show "download" and 'preview"
unknown doesnt allow anything i dont believe. The attachments are context based on whether you can download. Do you have specific file types you want me to check?

Where to find a pic that is saved as a wallpaper?

Hi I am trying to retrieve a photo that has been saved as a wallpaper on my gfs Samsung Galaxy gt 15500.
When the photo was taken it was saved to the sd card but as some stage the sd card got corrupted and as far as I know she got rid of it.
She needs a new phone but refuses to do so without the picture (its very personal and cannot be recreated). Is there anyway of getting it?. I have rooted the phone and when into data via AstroFileManager but I cant find it anywhere.
I have also tried Wallpaper Set & Save but it is not compatible with 2.2.
Any help is appreciated as my life wont be worth living if I cant get the pic
Thanks
I have an idea
Use go launcher, hide the dock, hide all icons, hide the status bar and then take a screenshot!!!!

Thank you so much QuantumFoam.
Ill try it out later on her phone. If all goes well it means I have that important picture for her and I get a new phone to play around with.
I rooted it, updated the firmware and flashed a new kernel already and the thing is flying........let the flashing of the rom commence!!!

Big thumbs down on that.
Downloaded and installed go launcher ex. It immediately changed the background to some stock picture of the sky.
I changed back to my original launcher and the picture that I was trying to save is gone. This is not good.
The photo still remains as a contact pic, but yet again I cannot find anywhere its saved. Its as if its in a cache somewhere.
Does anybody have any ideas? (I didnt want to get into detail but the picture is of somebody who passed away and is very important to my gf)
You didn't mention that it's as a contact pic
There's a way to see your contacts on Google
Open Google on your computer, go to the more tab and click Even more. There should be contacts there

Hi @Flyview cool concept. You asked for feedback. I think you should allow the transitions to be slower 2 seconds is to fast.
I don't really understand the seconds of the transition is it random ?
You might want to show a small overlay as a tutorial on first start I found the one tap to pause which is nice and the two tap to like, but I liked a picture without knowing what the 2 tap would do and I don't know which one it was
I'd like a go back feature too, if you see a picture and right when it disappears you notice something but you can't go back, so just a see previous like a swipe right.
Living in Paris I learned with your app that most pictures on instagram are of the Eiffel tower
Getting a blank screen many times.

It will show a new picture whenever there is a new one available (up to minimum of every second), this will be configurable. I have to think of a good way to show previous pictures. I was thinking the old ones would become scrollable below but if someone new comes to the app they may think it's like Instagram where the point is to scroll down. And yes, intro overlay should be added as well. That's awesome about Paris haha!

What mode are you in? Are you watching a tag or area?

good idea, but this is what I get right after connecting. no access to anything!
btw does it work with gps only or can it localise based on network?

Hmmm that's not good. Do you have Google apps installed? What's your Android OS and ROM? It'll work with whatever location provider is available, GPS is not necessary.
Do you mean "Google apps device policy"? no
I run 4.4.2 on Asus A86 device
@Flyview nice app i have few suggestions
1. Ability to select the distance range for nearby pictures
2. Ability to click the user of the pic uploader, which takes directly to their profile so that we can follow them.
3. Custom picture refresh time.
4. Add an overlay which has buttons to Pause/Play Previous/Next buttons.
tried uninstall, reinstall and login.
there is an error warning warning telling me i have to enable cookies in my browser, or disable private mode? then this blank screen all the time. only way to reach login page is uninstall/reinstall

Oh ok that makes sense then. You need to enable cookies in Chrome (or whatever browser the Instagram login page is using). Otherwise LivePics can't log you in to your Instagram account.

well i checked and cookies are enabled in every browser installed: default, chrome, firefox, opera. not sure witch one instagram is using. will dig deeper in settings.
Same problem, I only get a white screen. Running KiKat on a stock TMobile Note 3. Tried clearing data. Hangs on login screen usually, then it will give the login/cookies error message. If I get past that, back to white screen. Tried uninstalling, then reinstalling - same results.
04/14 - update installed this week - fixed the problem - working fine now.

So do you ever see the screen where you enter username/password for instagram or does the message come before that? A screenshot would be great!

(Photo Gallery Issue) Photo Preview After Taking Pic

Hi All...
After taking a photo you should be able to tap the pic preview next to the capture button, but when I tap the preview it directs me to another picture that's in my gallery....not the pic I just took. No matter how many pics I take, it always redirects me to the same pic I took months ago....not the pic I just took.
I hope my explanation is good enough to understand and maybe someone could help me out. This is so frustrating because after taking a pic, I have to go back to my gallery to make sure it looks good enough before trying to take another pic.
Please help and I will hit your thanks button for days.....
Hi, try to clear the app cache and data from the app info screen, do the same with the gallery app.

I am very happy for you! When I read your first post immediately I believed that it's a problem with the date of that picture. Cheers!

Question Since the May update, the camera doesn't show the updated pic immediately after post processing. Is this happening to anyone else ?

After the May update, when I take a pic and open it directly from the bottom left, after it finishes getting processed, I have to go back to camera screen and open the pic again to see the final version. Normally after getting processed it was automatically showing the proceesed version. Is this happening to anyone else ? I tried clearing the data of camera and also gallery, still happens.
Nope, mine shows up as soon as I take it. What settings are you using on the camera app?

I'm talking about the special occasions where the pic is still getting rendered when you open it from the bottom left. If it gets rendered before you open it, it shows the final version yeah, but i'm not talking about that. Before the May update it was showing the final pic after the processing gets completed. Not using any special settings that impacts this.
I have no real delay between taking the picture and it shows in the little circle on the bottom left of the camera app. That is what you are talking about, correct.

Are you also on AVDA?
Just tried it in portrait mode. I took the picture and directly opened it. First it shows the clear background and after some milliseconds the background got blurred. So I would say I do not have that bug.
Which effect are you using, which device and camera sw and so on. Something must be different.

Portrait effect is different, i'm not talking about that. Portrait effect processing is also fine on mine. No, nothing is different and this problem exists on May update, confirmed on Reddit too. It happens on normal pics, not portraits. Also i'm not using any effects, I think you're not understanding the problem.

The problem is clear on my first post and title. Not any processing is missing. After you take a pic and immediately open it from bottom left, if it's still processing, it still shows the old pic after processing gets completed. You have to go back and open the pic again to see the final version.

The flow is most likely clear, but what kind of processing is missing?
I was able to see late portrait processing, but you mentioned it is not what you complain about.
Is e.g. HDR missing in the fast view?

I really don't know how clear I can make it anymore. Look, after you take a pic, it automatically processes the pic you know that right ? Sometimes that process takes long, and after taking the pic if you open it from the bottom left immediately, it's still getting processed and you can see a loading icon at the bottom. After it finishes it should normally show the final version, and it was doing that before the update. But now, after it processes, it still shows the unprocessed image and you have to go back and open the pic again to see the final version.

Therefore I was asking already which processing is missing in the first view. In other words, how can I see the bug you are describing. What is the visible difference between the picture you see when you open fast and when you open it again later?
Especially identifying the "sometimes long" would it make it much more easy to reproduce.
Because if I open the picture directly after having taken it, it looks the same like opened again later. (Except my portrait example.)

Bro. Nothing is missing. The picture should be different looking most of the time after processing gets completed. I can't say directly “this is missing”. That's not the problem. Yeah I also have AVDA, but people on Reddit already found out that it's happening because of the latest version of the Gallery app + if you're on May update. And it gets fixed if you uninstall the updates of Gallery.
Looking different = image processing missing. E.g. missing blue sky due to not done HDR processing?
A link to Reddit would help, because if I open the pictures directly they instantly look the way they should do (except portrait a.s.o.). But maybe the processing is too fast in my case.

Image processing is not missing. It's just not showing it after it gets completed (it shows if you go back and open the pic again). I think since you think you don't have any problems you can leave this thread, it already got polluted by various misunderstandings by you.
Please be so kind and share the link to the information on Reddit. Thank you.
Edit: Found it by myself
https://www.reddit.com/r/S22Ultra/comments/ufllsz
No further information, except that it is a Snapdragon and mine is an Exynos one.
(It is not worth nitpicking if image processing is (not) missing when it is not shown...)
