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.

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!

Well since i update it to 2.1 the pictures are grouped into the folder i have put them into and i dont mind. lol but i know what you mean loved Resco.. i hope resco make a android app hehe
the program is pretty good but i have a problem. i wanne change the backround image from my homescreen with that programm but it doesnt changes the spb mobile 3.5 backround...and in spb i just cant change 480x800 as backround
Hi,
I liked how the gallery app syncs with picasa straight away, but it doesn't give me access to my 'favorites'. My wife uploads our baby pictures to her web albums and she is a 'favorite' so i can easily view pics via pc. it would be great to somehow access her web album by phone. seems like it shouldn't be difficult to do, but i haven't figured it out.
does anyone know whether it can be done? if so, how? if not, can someone recommend a good alternative?
thanks!
Not sure if this will help as I manage my photos on picasaweb a very specific way. Once I've uploaded pics to Dropbox, I go to picasaweb on my laptop, go to my Dropbox album....click on edit....then Organize And Reorder....
From here I select or CTRL select multiple images, and MOVE them to another folder or an existing folder...that folder then appears in the Gallery as a seperate picasa folder. This method can get a bit unwieldly if you have TONS of folders on picasaweb, because they ALL will display in Gallery. But if your careful to organize well this seems as good a way as any..Only takes a minute or so to do unless your moving tons of pictures around....Hope the idea helps..
thanks. that might be worth a try.
i was really hoping for something a bit more automated since my wife usually takes care of the photos. seems duplicative to have two sets of the same web album, but if that's the only way...
thanks again!
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.

Flyer has palm detection and fine pen options for detailed notes. Only issue is that the touch buttons are not palm friendly.

I'm sure there are Android apps for taking notes... hopefully there are a few that sync with Google Docs or Dropbox... and record meeting sounds.

there are no other note taking apps that sync audio and pen input as of now.

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 have a lot of pictures at home in my personal computer.
Now that i have the prime, what app is the best to view all of them without transferring all of them to the memory?
I was thinking of an app like tumblr or similiar, where i upload all the pictures to the site and can view them that way
Use Google+,
uploading the pics are dead-simple,
You photos streamed onto your tablets (through stock gallery app) when there's internet connection,
and you can choose which albums you like to make Offline available,
It's perfect
JustPictures! free and works with Picasa, Flickr, Smugmug, Facebook, Photobucket, Windows Live, Tumblr, Deviant Art, Imgur, MediaRSS and local files. It's one of my must have apps.
Your first thread in the Q&A forum wasn't enough? I would imagine XDA has a problem with duplicate threads started by the same user. You may want to just stick with one of them.

No one answered me on the question and answers, and re-read my thread and figured it was an app question....it got your attention though
+1 for JustPictures. I use it for my Flickr collection, and it's better than any dedicated Flickr app I've tried.
I am hoping to find a Scanner app that will let me scan a page by literally *scanning* it with my camera, slowly sweeping the page. Similar to how you can take panoramic photos, and it stitches the images together behind the scenes. I want to use OCR to scan a page into text, but the I find the quality usually isn't good enough for accurate OCR.
Does anyone know of one? Thanks
Don't know about panorama but but did you try Camscanner? It works like a charm. Download it from the market:

Yeah, actually that's what I have now.
Tried emailing a scan to my laptop and my ocr program got nearly anything right, lots of random symbols.
I will try again with better lighting but, surely, there must at least be some app to stitch photos together? Where you take 3 or 4 pics and it fits them to make a seamless high quality image?
