Hi,
I am using Cobrato's MIUI ROM and I noticed that the EXIF data for the photos taken with my phone saves only a few fields of data (Camera make, camera model, date modified). Earlier, photos taken with my stock ROM saved all the exif data including ISO, exposure time, digitization time etc.
Now I want to ask:
I have noticed that the "camera make" and "camera model" data are taken from the build.prop file.
Is it possible to copy some amount of code from the stock build.prop into the MIUI build.prop so that the EXIF data is replicated in the photos?
130 views and not a single response???

Is there an app like that? I'd like to:
Browse all my photos (thumbnails)
Select some (or all) that do have geotag info (so those thumbnails need to be clearly marked as such)
Remove geotag info from all selected in one swoop - remove from ORIGINALS, leaving the rest of EXIF data and the file timestamp untouched. Simply, make it as if the photos were taken with the geotagging turned off.
I found the app "geoLLERY", which does 1 and 2 ok (having to navigate to the gallery folder every time is annoying though), but doesn't do batch and actually doesn't remove the geotag but lets you fake it.
Another question, if I may: Does anyone know a reason why the camera app would turn the geotagging option back ON, without me going to the camera options and setting it explicitly? I'd post it in ViperXL thread, since that's what I have on my HTC One XL, but I'm not allowed to.
Hi,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 with CyanogenMod 12 (12-20150420-NIGHTLY-jfltexx). I've been using the standard Camera app (reports itself as com.android.camera2, v2.0.002) for the last few days with geotagging enabled. When I open a photo in Gallery app and choose "Show on map", it does indeed open Google Maps and show the photo's position correctly. But when I download the photos to my computer and try to use them anywhere else, like in "photos" on Google, it cannot recognize the geotag. I checked with some EXIF viewer if it has some GPS data written in the EXIF header: no latitude and longitude data, only two fields: GpsImgDirRef and GpsImgDir which are meant to store the direction where the camera was looking.
My questions are:
Where is the geotag stored? Is it somewhere in the file (which sounds obvious) or maybe anywhere else? I've just browsed through the source code of Gallery app and it seems to use Cursor and some queries, which seems like some database/SQLite stuff? I didn't dig deep enough to find out exactly.
How can I retrieve the GPS data for all the photos at once or - which would be best - save my photos with a proper, standard EXIF fields for GPS data?
I'm attaching one of such photos. When I choose "Show on map" in the Gallery app, it shows Google Maps with these coordinates: (60.908626,7.212069).
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
I almost have the SAME problem with my Galaxy S4. The phone itself stores EXIF GeoTag location in decimal with maximum precision, whereas the image transfered to PC shows coordinates in degree/min/sec format WITHOUT fraction of seconds, which misleads exact position to be set.

Any help is appreciated.
So like most people, I take lots of photos on my phone.
I'd like the following:
1. Local backup of original photos
2. Photos in albums online
3. Ability to securely share (ie. not public link)
4. Mirror of photos on phone so I can view without internet (lower quality cached version is fine)
This is my current process.
1. Sort through and delete crappy photos
2. Adjust photo RGB curves for dynamic range (A Better Camera would do this automatically, but my new phone doesnt support it)
3. Copy photos to computer.
4. Sometimes I filter them through Noise Ninja, if I do, then I copy the new ones back to my phone.
5. Sort them into folders/albums
6. Upload via Picasa
Now I can view photos on the web or phone sorted into albums.
Problems:
1. Picasa wont upload at the new higher quality
2. Process is tedious
3. Google Photos doesnt seem to keep a cached copy so what's left on my phone is the original camera roll which isnt sorted into albums. I could do that ofcourse, but then I'm doing everything twice.
4. No "auto-back" so if I ever lose my phone, I lose whatever I have processed yet.
Google Photos seems pretty good if I use their auto-backup. I could then copy all the photos to my computer as well so I have a backup of the originals. However, then I still have to sort into albums twice.
I'd appreciate any suggestions that would allow me to do what I'm looking for.
I transferred my photos from my old device to my new device. So what happened was, the dates of the photos I transferred also changed in Google Photos (I have them both backed up to the cloud & offline).
The thing is, I forgot the dates of the photos with wrong dates. How can I fix them? I know I can see the correct dates in the file names of the pictures.
But, here's where I got ANOTHER problem. I have pictures that are backed up on Google Photos, that aren't on my device, and have wrong dates. That means I can't possible know the exact dates of those pictures.
Can you help me? What do I do? I really hate a disorganized photo library.
Unfortunately I can only describe a similar problem, not a solution, sorry.
Anyways, when moving my photos from my z3 compact internal memory to the SD Card, the photos filestamps changed to the timestamp of moving. So they now show almost the same date and time and of course are entirely disorganized.
I know there's also the EXIF date and I'm wondering if there would be some way to change the filestamp to that intact date & timestamp?
Hello
when I'm using Komoot and saving my tour. The Photo manager deletes pictures during the tour, I think. The new pictures are ported into the bin. I have to recover them afterwards.
Any possibility to change this behaviour?
