[Solved[ Renaming photos/videos? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there an option to rename the photo/video once captured?

Open gallery and any;
Tap photo > phone menu > rename
Tap on video > tap again (do it's full screen) > phone menu > renameVideo
You can also use any file explorer to rename any file as well. Just Babita navigate to the file (sdcard/DCIM for camera photos and videos), long tap and you will have a list of options, including rename.

What gallery app is that?? The GS3 Gallery app should have icons next to the selections and all of the selections that are in the post above yours. And did you try scrolling down the list?

Just the standard gallery app.
I am using the CM ZOOM rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698273).. if that changes anything

Yep. I would say it does. A file browser will be your best bet then.

Instructions posted twice previously. And the OP didn't bother to try...... or answer
Maybe try another gallery app from the market? Plenty to choose from, probably better than stock.

Not of your renaming multiple files in the same session
The thread title or OP did not state it must rename with gallery.... (do I gave two options).
So if you must use a "gallery" app exclusively to rename, using a different gallery app to what you have, then your problem will be solved
Please let's us know if it works ok, and then rename thread to [solved]. Cheers

use root explorer
navigate to /system
press "Mount r/w" button at top, should now say "Mount r/o"
long-press build.prop, choose "Copy"
press "Paste" at bottom. Creates build-copy.prop.
long press build.prop again, choose "open in text editor"
look for "ro.product.model=SGH-I777" and replace the I777 part with I9100
press "Mount r/o" button at top, should now say "Mount r/w"
reboot
hope this helps

everytime i try to change the 777 to 9100, and save it , it keeps reverting back to 777 and doesn say 9100 when i look at it in the text editor again.. am i doing something wrong?
Are you using root explorer? Is build.prop the only file that does this? Can you edit your backup?
I saw another person had issues like this on an sgs2 and root browser worked for them.
I think root browser is available on xda but I've never tried it.

its not saving it in the backup file either on root explorer or root browser either. i'll edit it, then save the file and then try to reopen to check if it changed, and it goes back to i777. am i doing something wrong?
Are you hitting menu save changes? I've never ran across that problem before.
If its in r/w mode and you're hitting save changes, I'm at a loss.

ya, no matter what i used, it would never save it on the phone, so i just edited through my computer and dropboxed the edited version in, and rebooted and now it shows my phone as a i9100.
one problem though, it now tells me that i have an invalid license with swype and i cant use it anymore? anyone know what to do with that?

If you change back to i777 the game will tell you it's not supported and to request a refund when you launch it.

I cannot get this game on my phone. I had the same problem as others where u would edit the build.prop and it would switch back after a save. So I used other methods like propeditor.apk or doing it the dropbox way. Both after reboot showed the i9100 but the game still doesn't show up in the marketplace. Any suggestions?

Can't put a file on desktop

I know that i am probally missing something simple but -
On a S3 how do i put a Excel file on a screen?
It won't let you right click and copy and paste. However, if you select the file and hot control+c the go to desktop and hit control+v it should work

I think he's referring to putting it on the home screen of his GS3....correct?
Yeah
this may or may not work. Also there may be an easier way. I downloaded Astro file manager from Google Store (free app)
Went to home screen, long press and select Short Cuts (I use Nova launcher)
Then selected Astro from the menu
Astro should open and you should be able to browse to the file you want. I didnt have an excel or document to use. I just tested it with a ringtone and it added the ringtone to home screen

[Q] Remove camera shutter sound

As the topic states, how do I remove the shutter sound when taking pictures? Putting the phone in silent mode does not help. I am on the latest ics retail.EU rooted. And also for video recording please
Thanks
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
im having the same problem and its annoyinggg...i tried using the rom toolbox build.prob editor to edit the line [ro.camera.sound.forced] from 1 to 0 hoping that it would work but nope..no luck!
Open up the camera app. Press the menu button (at the bottom of the phone). Press the gear on the menu that opens up. This is the camera settings menu. Scroll all the way down to the bottom. There is a setting there called "shutter tone". Just unchecked the box next to it and that disables the camera sound.

Try the following things:
-Download a different camera app (I don't use the stock one, mine is much faster, but I forgot the name)
-Check if all the sound levels are all the way down. Settings --> (device) sound --> volumes (Music, video games, and other media)
-Double check that you have the shutter tone unchecked under the settings in the camera app (the very last one)
Works on my Verizon Razr Maxx on ICS just fine, no sound.
So easy if you are rooted. Use root explorer or es go to /system/media/audio/ui and delete or rename camera_click.ogg

Guide for XT910 ICS uses
You have 2 be rooted.
1. Go to system/build.prop
2. Edit build.prop (I'm using Root Explorer)
3. Go to ro.camera.sound.forced=1
4. Replace 1 and put 0 ( ro.camera.sound.forced=0)
5. Save it
6. Reboot
7. Now go to camera settings, and switch of the sound

Xda needs to split the RAZR sections XT910/XT912
XT912 has no "ro.camera.sound.forced" in the build.prop
So on XT912 you can rename the camera_click.ogg to camera_click.ogg.bak and have no audio issues.
With the XT910 they force it in the build.prop.

No worries, XDA really needs to make 2 separate sections for the RAZR. Someone can easily brick there phone by following instructions for another version.

You can enable this function by editing build.prop file if you are xt910 user or fallow dave5777 if you owning 912 version

Slide it out, and you get a bar of controls. Go all the way to the left, and press the gear.

There is another, simplest way to edit build.prop
You can use free app called: build.prop Editor. I didn't test it yet, but my mate recommend me this app as the easiest one.

Hide files in android

Hello guys. I was nokia user since 6 years & I'm new on android. I just want to take information there are many file managers which have attribute option to modified any file.... i.e to hide files simply on their original path whatever the files stored anywhere but in android, there are also many file browser but these don't have attribute option to hide, mean there is only every separate application to hide files. It does not matter but the issue is that these applications hide the applications as well as it also moves the the files from its original path which i don't like. Can any kind man tell me the any file browser with attribute option to hide files or any hide application without moving the files. Thanx a lot for reading & suggestions.
Use root explorer...to hide a file in android simply put a (.) Before the file name..without the brackets..itll hide itself without changing its location but in root explorer ull havta go into the preference and uncheck show hidden files also!

if you're using touchwiz launcher if you press menu there is a 'hide applications' option where you choose which ones you'd like to hide from the app drawer (if that's what you're talking about - not sure when you say hide 'files')

Hide files, make them invisible from a normal directory listing. The answer is correctly given above.

[Q] How to draw on photos?

When I pull an image up from my gallery and click on menu -> Draw on Image it overlays a watermark and makes it gray. How can I draw on a photo without this ****ty watermark?
The simplest way is to download the photo editor that Verizon excluded from this phone... You can get it in the themes and apps section..
Once you install it... go to your gallery and select a photo... hit menu > advance edit....
You then select photo edit and you can write on photo....
Might want to try first before downloading to see if phone has app....
Hope it helps...
