that works if i go to program folder and select album....
but i usually go to programs folder and select pictures and videos....
i just think that program gives u more options to do with pictures ... editing and so forth...
there are two ways to look at pictures... through album program or pictures and video program..... not sure why there are two..? the album program i guess is more finger friendly and doesn't show u videos
i was trying to get 100media folder the default folder opened for pictures and video program... i did the steps u stated above but that only seems to work for album program
sorry, misunderstood you. I use resco photo to do all the extras with my photos, it is much more user friendly than the default. You can set it to open on any folder or even last used folder. As for the pictures and video, I'm not sure. I would'nt mind a similar reg hack for the default file explorer. good luck
If, hypothetically speaking of course, I had some pictures in a folder containing a .nomedia folder to hide them from Album, is there a way to use them as wallpaper? I have tried setting the wallpaper using Astro as the selector instead of album and I can browse to the image and select it but then it freezes and never gets to the screen where you crop the paper. Also, even when using "normal" images, I have noticed that when I go to change the wallpaper it will hang after I "Select wallpaper from" Pictures, necessitating me pressing the back key and having to restart the process. It always starts the second time but is quite slow.
Any ideas?
I think you can use those pics as wallpaper by browsing to them with a filemanager....
Then just push on the photo and select the menu button in the lower left corner.
Select set to background...
That should work...
Hello there,
After installing the new rom from sony at first I was enable to place a contact picture as landscape mode when resizing on selecting the image.
After a while, didn't understrood if it was because i installed any program, it become to resize as a square and then when you go to contacts window it stays zoomed and not nice.
Any way of changing this?
maybe the old pictures back after the auto sync?
Same thing here... when i try to add pictures for contacts, some pictures asks for a landscape crop, while other asks for a square crop, without any recognizable pattern of behavior.
Sorry, but i still don't know what to do.
(Did you installed Gallery 3D?)

The SE stock ROM automatically tries to merge all of your phone-only contacts, SE Sync contacts, Google contacts and Facebook contacts together. Unfortunately, if you have the same contact on more than one service, then the same number shows up several times. Also, the phone-only contacts use the "landscape"-type pictures, but Google and Facebook use square pictures, and I think these photos override the phone-only ones.
What I did was to edit EVERY contact, press Menu and select "Split". This separates them (took forever). Then, I went to the phone book, pressed the "Groups" button in the upper-left corner, and set it not to display any Google or Facebook contacts. Now all contacts use the "landscape" style pictures.
The SE phone book merging stuff is TERRIBLE. Why would I want to see the exact same number or e-mail address two or three times? Why wouldn't I have the same number in all services (especially if I can sync my phone contacts to Google)? How is that useful? If it prevented numbers from showing up multiple times, then I might use it.
Found the problem,
When you install 3D Gallery 2.0 and uninstall the original one or you have an custom rom just with 3D Gallery 2.0 it stays on the square, if you install the original one it all comes to be normal with the wide picture format even if it is a Google contact.
The Google contact will stay with a crop and less def image but the phone shows the high definition wide that you choose
I have been trying to delete photos on my tab all day and unsuccessfully doing it. I have heard doing it from Google and Picasa but I don't upload my photos on there. I have long pressed on the photo and it doesn't give me an option to delete it just to select and ok with the check mark in the top. None of the photos were taken from the tab but were imported via bluetooth. I can't even delete screenshots. Anyone else have issues with this or know how to fix it?
So long pressing doesn't give you a trashcan icon at the top right of the screen? (just to the left of the menu dropdown for rotating and cropping)
long press the photo, see the trashcan at the top right, tap the trashcan, it will ask you to confirm delete. You don't drag it to the trashcan, you tap it. Took me a couple tries to realize that.
hi all,
anyone has issues with magazine unlock? on my Mate 10, i choose only my own photos as the Magazine Unlock and it worked fine.
on the M20P, it seems that it doesn't even show the pictures and instead, choose the default theme wallpaper. i could choose my own wallpaper but it's not rotating between the images i've added under 'Added by me'.

5) press power button and you'll see your problem is solved.
Hi,
I have the same problem. My lockscreen is set as "unlock magazine" but I've no picture of "the magazine". I only have the default wallpaper linked to the main theme.
The lock is unlocked and I can't do anything to change that, even if I disable unlock Magazine / reactivate, or reboot the phone.
Btw I don't know if it's linked or not but my theme app is also empty, I can't load any new theme apart the preinstalled ones. And unfortunately there is no way of restaure these applications (just empty cache for theme and disable / reactivate ).
Sorry for my english btw.

Because of the gluegate, they gave me a new phone. Fortunately Magazine Unlock does work.
I also found why theme app didn't work. Morocco wasn't recognized at first as a listed country for Huawei Services. I wasn't able to login Huawei cloud or any Huawei service included Themes. But the 122 previous update fixed it.

e_mc-square Given me the idea of locking the wallpaper and to solve most of your concern on those downloaded Magazine picture.
To solve this issue just on the lock screen, each picture file that you don't want / flip to the picture &
On the bottom as you will see the lock, delete, love, share & setting (buttoms)
Just press the trash can which is delete the picture. this solve the issue of showing unwanted downloaded magazine file.
I am happy with it now...!!!

After a lot of fiddling about trying to turn off all groups of pictures except mine, I stumbled into this method and it worked fine. Only took me a few mins to individually delete all the photos that I didn't want.

So for this problem follow these steps, I worked on it for 2 whole hours and finally worked it out (huwei p30 pro) i think it works for all android phones tho
Steps
1. Go to album - > more albums (others) and click on the magazine unlock album.
2. Delete all photos you dont want to have and put the ones u want to have on you screen in the album
3. Block that file (right above button next to the +)
4. Restart your phone
5, deblock that same album file and go to your unlock screen, than delete all the remaining photos (while you are on your lockscreen) of those old unwanted ones
6. And you are done!
Notice!!!! Be sure to diasble all the kind of grams you are following in setting - > begin screen and unlock screen - > magazine unlock screen. All those you'll have to disable. And one more thing, while your disabling these 'grams you' ll see 'my gallery pictures. Be sure to add the same photos you want to have on your unlockscreen so you have it twice! Once there and once in your original album of the 6 steps you did ( total twice!)
