Hi all,
I'm pretty new to the wonderful world of Android with only a couple of days with my Dell Streak. There a couple of things that I'm trying to get used to but the native photo view is not one of them, I really don't enjoy swiping through masses of pictures from all sorts of folders. The album arts, old photo's and new photo's all mashed together into this time line thing.....anyway of viewing pictures via folders?
If anything, coming from an HD2, I thought Resco Photo Manager was an awesome app, not only was it good at viewing pictures, it also allowed me to edit pictures easily (actually draw on rather than sticking clip art onto) with a good zoom while doing so too, nice layout and folders for different pictures finished off with the ability to upload pictures to facebook all in one. So the question is....is there an Android app out there that is very similar to the Resco Photo Manager program?
I've tried AnDrawing but I can only zoom in a little and when I do so, the image becomes really really blurred even though it shouldn't as it's a high res image.
Any advice would be much appreciated!!! Thanks!!!
Sorry; in the sameboat with you!
I know how you feel, I too used to love Resco pro on my touch hd, the editing features were brilliant. I've been looking for an equivalent for my streak but have found nothing that matches it yet. I use my phones as photo viewers quite a lot and hate the way the built-in viewer displays the photos as a timeline because when I got it I downloaded all of my favorite pics -about 1500- it thinks they were all taken on the same day, searching through them is painful.
If you like editing your pics, I like Colour-Up but it's limited to the one function, you can get some good results with it though. Photoshop.com Mobile is pretty lame and more limited than the built-in editor. As for detailed drawing/editing, I've found nothing yet. I'm not sure but I'm sure I heard Resco were developing for android, but don't take my word for it!

Adobe Photoshop Express in the market. Don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for.
There's also Picsay available, both it and Photoshop have good editing features but Picsay has a better file/open system. Neither of them are photo managers though.
Nope, photoshop is no good; it also mashes all pictures into one giant lump, and then to add insult to injury, has no zoom, and displays the highest Rez pictures like they are candid pics snapped with a cctv. Avoid like the plague!

Is there any way i can have a photo editing on my touch pro is there a free software out
Don't know about freeware but I am using resco photo pro and it works great for me for basic editing. Fast and easy.
+1 for Reco, spb imageer will do too..not free
Try Spb Imageer
Though it isnt free, i reccommend that you try SPB Imageer. They give you a 15 day trial and the trial starts over everytime you hard reset or clear storage. This is good for me since i hard reset usually twice a month.
Try this one http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pocketpicture-v2-2.html

Has anybody seen the nintendo picture morphing program in the commercials? Does anybody know of a program like this for the TP/Fuze?
I found this video on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xv6uGiXa10
Looks to have some cool camera features. I think it would be fun to have a program like this made or ported over to be able to play with contact pictures with out having to down something to a computer. Then having to ps or some other program
pocket artist is really good, as well as photogenic. they aren't free though, but they have fairly advanced photoshop-type options.
Ya I have done some more Googling since this post and found both of those programs. They both look good but for $50 bucks I don't need them that badly.
Well, I have looked at all the 10, 20 101 and THE best app webpages from searches on google... I have looked at all the posts here that include words like photo, gallery, picture, viewer, album.....
Lots of hours spread over a handful of days just looking for one app. here is what I am looking for:
I am looking for a simple app, that kinda works like Gallery, maybe even with the interface of 'Photos' from iPhone. It should be fairly easy to use, few controls on the screen, and allows me to specify which folders to look in for photos, much like "PowerAMP" allows you to specify folders to look into for music. The reason why the last is important; I have a few games that will from time to time download updates and part of those updates are assets like texture files, music files, sound files for effects, and short video clips (Gameloft games are the ones to blame for this). I hate how I open Gallery and it shows me ALL files with a compatible file extension.
Can anyone think of an app like this??? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Best one I've found so far: JustPictures!
It's so good that I am using it in place of the buggy gallery app. I think it does all the things that you are looking for as well as another nice function: it will synch with any public Picasa, Flickr, etc gallery. It's like having thousands of pics locally on my phone, except they are all stored in the cloud.
Well, that was it! Perfect! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the recommendation. This app is just what I've been looking for.
I like the Idea of HTC Scrybe very very much, not last because of the much rumored Microsoft Courier.
So far I've only seen it taking screenshots and editing these with the pen, which is of course the first step.
But I'm thinking of live pdf editing and stuff like that. I want to open the Script for my lecture and add notes to it with the pen, or take a photo of the blackboard and insert it into the pdf, you know things like that.
Will these things be possible with HTC Scrybe? I think only taking screenshots and editing these is a bit uncreative and not realy productive and/or helpful
I've had the same concerns, but if you look on youtube and search video, you will see ones where someone actually writes something in the notes application, which sync automatically with Evernote. The writing seem to work quite well (i.e. small enough to actually write words and sentences on the 7" screen), although I am quite interested to see a live demo.
You can also find videos where people edit documents with the pen, including scribbling in books, PDFs, etc. Not sure whether or not these are saved as pictures - seems to be the only way (?), and then forward these as email, and so on...
It's a shame the only release dates I can seem to find point to an early May release...

If you setup your lectures in your calendar as recurring appointments, you can scribble notes in the calendar entry and at the 'next' lecture, you can pick up where you left off. This would effectively build one long note for each subject. This is one of the many killer features which are difficult to appreciate until you use it.

Hmm... that's too bad. HTC's site show's this as a function of Scribe... maybe its a different app shown in the intro video. It starts with the user typing noteson a blank page, then taking a picture and adding to the notes, then handwritten annotations with the pen, then recording sound, and playing back the sound via the notes...
In any case, I still find myself preferring pen and paper to my iPad during meetings eventhough the convenience of electronic notes with sound is a powerful tool. We'll see if the magic pen or smaller form-factor of the Flyer solidifies the change.
I think the notes app can do everything you need including the taking of hand written notes, typed notes, sound, pictures etc all in one note.
You can also edit PDF documents with annotations etc and save those back into the PDF in 2 different ways. I have no idea yet if you can do any more advanced PDF editing such as changing the flow of a document with an image.

Yes, after reading a few more reviews, it sounds like the Notes application can do the notes and sound sync... though there may be a problem with the granularity of the notes and sound sync.
Definitely looking forward to getting a small-form factor, full-featured Android tablet.

htc's custom app can sync audio and pen. there are no OTHER apps that do that, meaning that unless someone extracts htc app, we can't do that on other tablets.

That makes sense. Not enough real estate on a phone to take notes. With the stylus concept, HTC definitely needs good apps which utilize the ped. The Notes app actually sounds like Soundnotes, which I use on the iPad. Definitely has the same quirks (per a recent review), and definitely not like the livescribe pen.
Hopefully we get a few more options as android tabs become more popular. I desperately want to go all electronic with my workflow, but can't seem to get away from paper for notetaking... I do scan those in for archival purposes. ;-)
I thought I'd start a review page for the Touchpad. I got my Touchpad on Tuesday and have spent a good bit of time with it. In general, I see a lot of potential. I am disappointed that it took so long and isn't better than it is.
Now I understand most of the poor reviews that the unit has gotten. Comparing a first generation product with a 2nd or 3rd generation product doesn't is not likely to be very positive. But, most of us thought, between HP and Palm, the unit would be a lot further along. Perhaps HP is too big to be creative and responsive enough for a fast moving market like phones and tablets. However, to be fair, the things the unit does well, it does very well. And, what it doesn't do well, it generally doesn't do at all.
First, the weight. Personally, I like the feel of it. A few ounces either way really doesn't make much difference. It has a good balance and feels solid.
Second, the WebOS. I am new to it, but so far, I am impressed. The multitasking is really well done. The setup on the unit was simple and logically organized. There is a somewhat intuitive feel to the interface, even though if I knew more, it might be even better.
I setup my Exchange client with no problems and it works well. I will try to add some more accounts later for testing.
Now for the items I am disappointed with. I know it sounds like I don't like the unit, but I do, and it is so close. But, unfortunately, close only counts in horseshoes and nuclear war.
First, as far as I can tell, whoever designed this either never used an iPad or Android tablet or didn't use it much. They don't understand the first rule of the smart device market: You have to have some key working software. Okay, there is some, but in general, it is a real disappointment. There will be lots of other things needed, but everyone wants video, music, news, and a way to move data around. A lot of people will want a time manager, too. If you missed that in the design, you missed the key items.
It plays MP3s well, but without Pandora, it doesn't really matter much.
The worst thing so far is that the video player is useless. Most of the videos I see and use are AVIs and they don't work at all. And only about half of the MP4's have worked so far. One of the top priorities needs to be a movie player that isn't useless. Something like VitalPlayer for the Android.
You also need a good news reader. If you have an Android you get News360 or Pulse. Where is the comparable product?
Oh, by the way, it isn't terribly easy to find anything in the Appstore. It doesn't give enough granularity. It is hard to find the diamonds amoung the trash.
The other item that is needed is a file manager. Something like ES File Explorer on the Android. It allows you to move files from the LAN to the Local file structure and to move files inside the unit. I know the idea is that WEBOS handles it. But as far as I can tell, I have to hook up to a PC to move files. There is a paid app in the app store, but it doesn't do enough.
I have used Android up to this point. A year ago, it was pretty bad. But, today it is a great competitor. WEBOS can be there, too, but it can't take very long or there won't be a market. If HP is counting on business users only, they are probably DOA. From what I have seen, other than e-mail, business use takes a back seat to personal applications on tablets.
What do you think?
7-25-2011 It is getting better
Today, I downloaded KalemSoft Media Player and Gemini File Manger. They each fill at least part of the gap in the functionality of the Touchpad. The KamelSoft Media Player has added considerable functionality to the media play including additional codecs for AVI, etc. And, the MP4s that didn't work with the built in player seem to work with it. It is a $6.99 item but, so far, it seems to be a good investment. I had to add an app to my Android 2.2 unit to get the same capabilities, so it is makes sense that I will have to do the same for a first generation WEBOS tablet, I guess.
The Gemini File Manager is a valuable addition, because it has a nice two column, full screen, interface and has networking capablities. Currently it only works with Dropbox. But it is a step in the right direction. I had to download a file manager, ES File Manager, with this functionality for my Android also, but it was free. ES File Manager allows local network connection, which is pretty useful. This is pretty inexpensive at $2.99 though.
Last week, I downloaded SpaZ HD Beta Preview 1 to use as a Twitter client. It is worth a look. I have enjoyed learning how to use it.
I have download several news readers, but so far nothing that is as good as Pulse or News 360. NewsRoom is a start, but it is still in the phone format.
Pandora works, but it is in the phone format. And, that doesn't really matter much to the functionality.
So things are coming along. With a few more apps, it will be almost as good as my Android for my daily use. Android and iPad have a lot of apps, but how many are of any real use?
There are a few things missing. A working RDP app is essential for small businesses. A solid time management package that interfaces with Quickbooks would be useful, also.
Agreed, thanks for that review

Well, I am wrong about at least one thing. There is a Pandora app. It works, but it is a phone app and takes a little getting used to. But, it seems to work well.
I bought Newroom hoping it will be like Pulse. It is also a phone app and will take some work to get used to. But it might do some of what I want until a better app comes along. I also bought TapNote for Touchpad which I think will be a good tool, and Internalz, so I can get to the file structure. It is a phone app, so it will be a little strange until it is upgraded.
I downloaded TED, which is a source for seminars that seem to be pretty diverse. The first one I watched was great. It showed off the video pretty well.
I'm still impressed.
I prefer to buy the Touchpad than iPad. Because Touchpad is a way better than other tablets but is a bit buggy yet, but with time and devs, all can be solved.
Good luck with devs and with OTAs touch pad FAIL and webOS phones are butt ugly with a nice OS

I would have to add that the font rendering is the ugliest since Windows 3.11. Seriously. The UI itself is beautiful, but reading web pages or mails hurts your eyes after a few minutes. The fonts look like they are smudged, like the screen is blurry. It is a huge fail and the biggest downside IMO. Sure, application load times are really bad, and there are no apps. But apps only need to be loaded once, and the number of apps might change. The incredibly distracting font rendering won't go away

Can't wait for Android on this thing
I bought one of the firesale units and starting playing with it. I have some questions:
1) It don't seem to support ad-hoc wireless networks. Is there any software I can add or configuration change I can make to change this? I have a Windows Mobile cell phone that can share its connection over wifi, but its ad-hoc only.
2) I put some pdfs and an m4v and flv video on the device, organized in folders. I go in acrobat reader and it seems to find the pdfs, but just puts them in a single list, rather than showing the file hierarchy. I would like to be able to browse the file hierarchy and touch a file and have it open in an appropriate player or reader. I have a lot of pdfs to put in the device and they need to be organized, not one big list.
3) Acrobat reader and Quick Office seem to be a little slow to load. I am wondering if there is an app that is quick loading that will show a file hierarchy and show or play pdf files and videos, similar to GoodReader for ipad?
4) Is there anything that will play .flv video files? The m4v video showed up in the photo viewer, but not the .flv
Thanks in advance.

Picked mine up Saturday morning and found that article yesterday. By all means do what it says, helps a lot. The more I use my touchpad the more I like it. Great little $100 investment IMO. Really wish there was a Wordfeud or Words with Friends app for it though. Preware should be installed on every WebOS device.

Thanks a lot for this link! I don't even have my touchpad yet but i look forward to being able to poke around with it and get every ounce of performance possible.
Are there any other good resources for WebOS tweaks or mods? Ultimately i'll probably put android on this thing (once the devs do all the hard work) but in the meantime, i'd like to see just how usable the device is as-is.
my gripes:
browser - not as good as Android's. some pages had minor render issues, some menus didn't work right. some flash videos would not play.
browser - only way to go "back" is the back arrow at the top left corner so you have to keep your thumb near it.. awkward to hold. why no left swipe or something?
lists, any - no scroll bars! i added like 100 bookmarks then it's a pain in the ass to get from top to bottom. have to swipe down like 10 times
camera - no app is included to use it other than skype.
video player - videos files are shown as group of big icons, no way to change that to a list view, and the space allocated for the name does not have enough characters
no way to change the icons on the taskbar?
serious lack of good apps that are designed for touchpad .. maybe a dozen that i ended up keeping.
no included rss reader, calc, notes, etc.
i don't believe the Bing navi app has 3D mapping or live rerouting (for use with tether) and i didn't see any in the market.
no voice to text function ?
doesn't support mkv or avi out of the box (same for Android, iOS) .. have to reencode videos from usenet. there is a (1) paid app that can play these apparently, haven't tried it yet
no video out, rear camera, back / search / menu buttons, low-res screen, heavy... but you know that going in.
App Store - no sorting options (ie, #downloads, #reviews)
.....
things i like:
hardware is solid, battery life is impressive, viewing angles excellent, and the GUI looks polished. OS is reasonably responsive and stable (after ota update). basic functions (wifi, web, email, IM, a/v playback) work as expected.
good deal for $100.
I like my 32GB Touchpad so far, I applied the improvements and it does seem better, I have to try the overclock. It's good for the price I paid, but not for it's starting one. I'd still like to see Android on it and I hope there's more development both on webOS and Android for it.
For your news reading needs you could try the Mosaic app, it's similar to Pulse with its own twist.

You can by going into the Launcher and touching an app for a few seconds so you can move them around.
I just emailed HTC about it. I even had to send a photo I took with my Hero with time stamping enabled to show them what I meant. The only thing they can tell me is that it just isn't an option on the Evo 3D. They also told me to look on the market for an app that'll let me add that functionality. Is there such a thing?
I'm adding the same example photo I sent to HTC in this post, so everyone will know what I mean by time/date stamping.
I really don't get why it isn't a standard option.
I was going to add a poll to see how many of you out there think this should be an option added to the camera app, but I can't seem to figure out how to add a poll. lol

i do think it is very odd the camera app does not provide an option for a timestamp and i too have used this feature in the past and think its a good idea.

But again, how is a time stamp on the actual photo a benefit over including the time stamp in the image file metadata?
Back when photos were on film, burning the time stamp into the photo itself was the only way to know when it was taken. But these things are digital. Metadata is a much more elegant way to track all sorts of information (like geo tags) associated with a photo, and it's how all the information is stored in the photos the EVO 3D (and pretty much every other digital camera device) takes. Most photo organization software (like most MP3 software) makes extensive use of meta tags for sorting and searching your files. And it doesn't muddy up your images to boot.

to illustrate the otherside of the viewpoint you've expressed and address your question.
i guarantee not every android user understands metadata, nor knows how to use/where to find it. i find it comical imaging my parents trying to locate the metadata of a picture they took on their phone.
for those people who still print out their images and want to scrapbook/put in photo albums, they might prefer having the time/date stamped on the front of the image itself.
some people prefer timestamps printed on their photos and some people do not. having or not having timestamps on photos is a matter of personal preference and is a legit request as an option, especially given i've had the option of printing timestamps on the images i've taken with previous android phones.

Well then go to the official HTC Community forums and make the request.
My X10 didn't have the ability to print time stamps on the photos, neither does my wife's text messaging phone. I'm not even sure if either of our digital cameras (a Digital Rebel, and a Canon point-and shoot) have that capability. All I'm saying is people have to move with the march of technology.
And on a related note: can you imagine your parents even having an EVO 3D?
Here's something. Wouldn't it be possible to just take the setting from the most recent Sense before Sense 3 and add it to the settings in our present camera app?
I'm no programmer, (or I'd just attempt it myself, lol). Just putting it out there so maybe someone will consider it.
The reason for time/date stamping ON the photo in addition to the metadata is the fact that most people, at least in my opinion, when attempting to retrieve the date of a certain photo on the internet, would rather just see it printed right on the photo than have to download the image and look for it in the image info.
Now I'm not sure if I'm just missing it when attempting this or not, but I went to a random site, right clicked on an image and went to View Image Info, and didn't see anything at all about a date or time the image was taken. Only when I actually download the image then go to Properties>Details do I see an actual date/time.
I didn't mean for this to be a debate or anything. Just feel it's wrong not to even give the option anymore. It's not like something like that takes up a lot or space or processing power, or even time processing the photo.
I think It's cool when you need to provide a day and time for a pic that you want to upload online.

I'm no programmer, (or I'd just attempt it myself, lol). Just putting it out there so maybe someone will consider it.
The reason for time/date stamping ON the photo in addition to the metadata is the fact that most people, at least in my opinion, when attempting to retrieve the date of a certain photo on the internet, would rather just see it printed right on the photo than have to download the image and look for it in the image info.
Now I'm not sure if I'm just missing it when attempting this or not, but I went to a random site, right clicked on an image and went to View Image Info, and didn't see anything at all about a date or time the image was taken. Only when I actually download the image then go to Properties>Details do I see an actual date/time.
I didn't mean for this to be a debate or anything. Just feel it's wrong not to even give the option anymore. It's not like something like that takes up a lot or space or processing power, or even time processing the photo.

i didn't want a debate either so i stopped replying as it was clearly off topic.
copying the settings file from a previous sense version of camera which supports the time/stamp, *could* work, assuming the current camera.apk supports time/stamping and they just forget/intentionally didnt add it to the options menu inside the camera.apk.
i dont have a previous sense phone, like the EVO, handy to pull the camera settings file from /data/data ..
on the EVO3D the settings file is: /data/data/com.android.camera/shared_prefs/com.android.camera_preferences.xml
an example adb pull command to copy it to the local computer:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.camera/shared_prefs/com.android.camera_preferences.xml c:\com.android.camera_preferences.xml
i do wonder how adding time stamping to the picture would work in 3d mode ... i wonder if that presented an issue so they scrapped it ... just speculating!

Ya know, I never thought of that as a potential reason for leaving it out. That's probably it too, not that we could get an official answer to it though, so speculation will have to do, but I do think you have it right.
I DID hear early on in the threads that it was possible that panorama and burst mode, among other things, weren't acting right for one reason or another, and those functions were pulled right before release. Makes sense that panorama or burst wouldn't work right either in 3D, so it stands to reason.
Still though, it would've been nice to have those options for 2D pictures. It's a shame they couldn't figure out how to disable those options when the 3D switch was flipped, if any of this is really the case even. lol
