The Gallery app lets you sort and view photos by Time, Location, Album, and Tags.
Time sorts photos chronologically; Location groups them by GPS tracking.
Album seems to group them by their folder's name.
But Tags doesn't seem to have any use. Every photo is listed as "untagged." The Xoom's Gallery and Camera app don't offer any way to to add a Tag to a photo.
And when I add photos taken and tagged from within my Droid X's Gallery app, the Xoom's Gallery app doesn't seem to recognize their tags.
Has anybody gotten the Gallery's Tags option to work?
Could this be a bug in Honeycomb? An unsupported portion of Honeycomb in the Xoom? Any ideas?
Honestly the gallery sucks... is it just me or are pictures just not sharp in the stock gallery? Quick pic seems to be the only one to show sharp images

I have same problem with Transformer.
I think this is honeycomb bug, but I cant find any other gallery that handle tags properly. Even picassa uploaded photos lost their tags, but doesnt work photos from sd card tagged in win 7.
But i have some tags, i dont have idea why some photos has tags others lost them
I am very thankful to you xda guys. Now is a new problem. When I browse my photo album or brows in tab itself and than I see that I always get three files with names such as PC_C_3 or diffrent in the folder application data/htc/htc albums/cache. It has a size of 11 mb this uses up my internal memory. Of I delete these files nothing happens in my album. What is this? And in folder application data/htc/htc album I get first five photos of my albums in diffrent and squeezed resolution. If I delete them than other photos look horrible on the photos and videos tab. Please help!!
I have a few different "Albums" (folders) that I like to be able to see in the Moto gallery app, but when I click on settings > Albums, it shows EVERY folder that has a picture or video in it. Which means every music download folder I have shows up since it has album art and every video/movie shows up that is in a different folder. So I have 100+ albums to scroll through to find the ones I want.
I tried deleting them, from within the gallery, but it deletes the actual folder on your phone/SD card....In the HTC gallery, you could use a feature called "Hide albums".......Is there anything like this for the Moto gallery?

if your albums are in different folders you could make a file using es file app and name it .nomedia and it wont show up in your gallery app. but if all your pics are in the same folder then none of them would show up in gallery.

No, they're all different folders. I have my basic folders I want to keep: Camera, Pictures (which I keep older pics in), Screenshots, Downloads, Wallpapers, ect... Then I have 97 music albums, each in it's own folder on my external SD card and then a "Movie-TV" folder with sub-folders in it: Doctor Who, Fringe, X-Files, and other nerd titles. All of these show up in my gallery.
I'll try the .nomedia trick, but adding that to 100+ folders is going to take a few minutes.... I was hoping there was an easier way, like there is on the HTC.

as far as I know this is the only way
You could just use quickpic gallery? It's nice, quick and light. And allows you to hide folders in bulk. It adds a .nomedia to them.
Also... If all the folders you don't want to see are in a single folder, you could put the .nomedia at the top level to have the others ignored...

Yeah, I've used QuicPic before and really liked it... I've heard some "bad things" about the latest update, or at least the new company that bought it?? I may give it a try anyways, I have nothing against a new company unless they introduce ads or something?
I also found the HTC Once M9 gallery and camera that works perfect on the MXP... I may just use that. The camera seems to work pretty well with our phones too, I may have it for my 2nd camera....and for when I hand my phone to someone to take a pic of me and they ask "where's the picture button"?
Creating a .nomedia file in the Music folder works.

Just got a used MXP last night after I broke the One Max I had been using and there weren't any good One Max's for sale. Big screen, stereo speakers, sd slot.... perfect. Had all previous HTC phones back to ppc6800.
I miss my gallery and Music HTC apps. I have 50gb of organized cd's on my sd card and I see the pictures in the gallery as all separate folders. I renamed my old sd card camera pictures folder from 100 media (htc save location) to camera (mxp save location) and it shows my camera roll with all 4,000 pictures and whatnot and adds new pics right inline. Kind of solved my gallery problem if I just stay out of the "albums" spot and just leave it on "Camera roll"... I now have camera roll, and videos as separate spots, but that doesn't help for screenshots or downloads so much. Don't use those that often I guess anyways.
The old HTC Music app would just simply be a music player and not mix in download/online material and try to sell me stuff. Its showing albums twice in my list as some are online and some are downloaded. I often go up north out of cell range for all weekend and play music in the truck and cabin the whole time. Streaming isn't an option so i'm in the minority that still buys lots of cd's (digitally) and downloads them and keeps an sd/computer/ full. Open the old music app hit one play button and it was back on the shuffle all, or a quick scroll down through all artists and whatnot to pick an album.
I know its the first day and I will get used to it. Man, I'm b*tching alot. haha.
Where did you find the camera and gallery files... and can you find the music app too?? I'm sure there are good 3rd party apps too, I just haven't had time to play with the new device yet besides setup.
Thanks!

Hey man, it's been about 6 months since I had my MXP (have a Nexus 6P now).. But, I believe there are some here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/htc-blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438
If you can't find what you want there, you can search that sub-fourm and I know there is another one or two threads of HTC apps floating around in that section.
Good luck!

This is amazing, Thanks for the lead.
I was holding out for the new Nexus devices later this year but the One max just wouldn't make it. ha
So, for whatever reason whenever I go into my gallery it just seems as though my phone refuses to load GIF images or just refuse to load the pictures Into their full resolution. Any fix for this?
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA Free mobile app
I use quickpic for gallery and photos for cloud backup. Can't speak on gif functionality, but its worth a shot imo.
I was just about to make a thread of a similar problem I'm having... My gallery sometimes completely fails to load any album thumbnails and names, but you can enter the albums (everything is still lacking thumbnails). It's very aggravating and it causes Documents to crash often.
Since moving to S8+ from other android phones, this issues was irritating me. While in camera app, if I go to gallery, I want to see only photos taken by camera and not all the media from whatsapp, facebook etc. The suggested solution of adding .nomedia in those folders did not appeal since that would impact other applications browsing those folders too. So this is what i have done and it works well enough for me.
Samsung gallery app has setting to ignore albums, so I went to that setting and checked all the albums except camera. This was manual and I had to check a lot of albums. After that was done, gallery shows only camera roll either in camera app or outside camera app.
I installed another gallery app (quickpic from xda - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-gallery-quickpic-based-4-7-4-t3790425) to browse different albums including my photos.
That seems like a good solution for non rooted phones until samsung improves their gallery app
