Is there a way to change screenshot location so Google photos don't upload them??
I saw about an app but it's payable and I wonder if I can avoid it...

Why not just disable uploading of that folder in Google photos app?

There is no option to sync only the screenshots folder. This one is integrated in Camera folder. This is a Samsung "feature" and I don't like it, too. [emoji2955]

[Q] Video thumbnails problem

Hi there, guys!
First of all I would like to say that I find annoying the fact that the phone uses the oldest photos in order to use them for the gallery wallpaper.
I copied some pictures today which were read as older and changed my gallery wallpaper.
I changed the file properties and the files I wanted were the oldest again.
But the wallpaper wouldn't change |(it has happened again in the past), so I deleted the .thumbnails folder and let it recreate them again.
All OK, now, it has used the photos I wanted, but like in the past when I had done this again, in the gallery all the videos have no thumbnail anymore...
Do you know any workaround for this problem?
P.S.: There should be an option to choose which photos to use for the gallery wallpaper IMHO..
Hello,
Try openning "Play Movies" app and click on "Personal Videos".
That re-creates my video thumnails.
Thanks,

Hello my friend and thanks for trying to help!
Unfortunately I don't have such an app...
Do you know where I can get it from?
I searched in play shop but i couldn't find an exact match...
EDIT: Seems like goggle videos is not available for my country. Even trying to manually install the apk didn't work (parse error)
Any other ideas anyone, please?
EDIT2: I used Market enabler and managed to install google play videos, chose "Personal Videos" and it did restore the thumbnails..
Thanks a million dmoney98 !!!!

[Q] Photos not saved to Gallery. Gallery folders missing

Hello
I'm a noob with a rooted HTC One that I just bought. I have very little experience with rooted phones. Never owned one before and never rooted anything.
My phone is working well except that when I take pictures or video, they disappear. They don't show in the gallery. I can find them in the file system using a file explorer. I cannot make new Gallery folders either. I tried installing 3rd party apps and they don't work either. Maybe the file system did not get properly configured. Is there a way to do a fresh reinstall of the default Gallery app? Or are you aware of a Gallery app that will completely install its own system that might work?
I am on android 4.3.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike
Try quickpic, it's free in the playstore.. Not sure what's going on with your gallery to be honest. But I only ever use quickpic gallery on my phones..

Photo editor

I accidently deleted, and I don't even know how, a stock photo editor, so if somebody could just upload a backup for this apk, or give me a link, i would be most thankfull
Same problem.I install Quick Gallery problem solved....
Thanks, but that's not what I want. I'm looking for the editor that comes with the phone (lg g2 mini), i really liked it, it has some cool features and i'd like it back... And btw, is that editor comes within the gallery app or those two are separate apps?
I think you need google+ app installed to edit pictures in stock.
I know it sounds strange, it's Google making you use their products

It's not necessary.. I've disable G+ app and edit is done with stock gallery app..

There's a world of difference between enabled and installed.
When I uninstall it the editing features are gone, reinstalling brings the feature back.
Thank you very much indeed

I dont like xperia album, any suggestions?

I dont like xperia album app. I am not able to Create a new folder even. I really like samsung gallery app. Is there a way to install it? Or do you know any other Solutions?
My Device is Non-rooted.
Try app called f-stop

I use an album called quick pic, you can "hide" folders which is handy because there is not a great deal I hate more than having album covers in my pictures folder.
Cannot create new folders though due to 4.4.4 sd write protection
Quick pic is very nice app, but it's really annoying when you have a lot of albums and you have to wait for thumbnails to load each time.
