[TIP] Create albums in gallery - EVO 4G General

So I've been searching all over to find out how to create different albums in the gallery and came up with a bunch of info but none of it worked till i found out that it is simply creating a folder of what you want the album named as and place that folder on the root of your storage card. Simple as that.

Having my pictures all unorganized into a single gallery folder is unnerving!
Gonna try this asap, thank you

What do you mean? Can't you simply remove or delete the media from that folder or delete the entire folder itself on your sdcard?

Yep, easy as that.
Heres another tip.
If you don't want a folder with images to become an album add a . to the beginning of the folder name.
This is the linux equivalent of "hidden" in windows.

what is the name of your widget app for the volume control, I see in bottom left pic? does that independently control those feature?
it's name is AudioManager and yes, you can independently control volume.
You are not running HTC Sense UI? What do you use?

I can vouch for that app. just don't forget to turn it off! I ended up with a folder with 130 screenshots once.

Haha yes for sure. I usually disable the shake to screenshot. pulling down the notification tab and waiting 5 seconds works for me. Far easier than using the SDK method mentioned earlier.

Sony Album App Sucks!

Whoever decided that it shouldn't support folders should be fired.
I guess QuickPic will have to do.

I use titanium backup to freeze or delete the cloud album plugins, of course you need to be rooted. wish they would integrate dropbox

Maybe you can disable the cloud album plugins from the apps menu in the settings. Which doesn't require root.
I wish they would include an option to set which tab (Pictures or My albums) we would like to have as default.
The only one thing sucks in Sony Album, is the widget. I cant select pictures to be show, they are all mess up.

No it doesn't at all.
They should have made it make a lot of sense by making it display Albums first as default then pictures sorted by months on the second tab. Just like apple photo gallery. Nonsense.

Ok. I don't usually use the cloud back up for photos and the play memories. I have them all on my external memory card.

[WIP 5/3/14] CSC Feature edits for GS5

CSC Features are cool because you can enable little features that are for whatever reason turned off by Samsung. Here are some that I have found across the internet.
A.) PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE MESSING WITH THIS!! Either make a backup in recovery, or make a backup of your feature.xml by copying the original/unedited to your SD Card.
B.) Download a root browser and grant it root permission.
C.) Go to system/csc/feature.xml
D.) Find the lines that you wanna change, and change it to what I have underlined/bolded. OR some are not in there and you can just add those lines right in (lines that are not in that can just be added will be highlighted in blue). Make sure the new lines are between <FeatureSet> </FeatureSet> . Now it's time for the features that can be enabled:
1. Enable call duration in call log: <CscFeature_Contact_DisableCallDuration>false</ (thanks to @eyecon82)
2. Enable camera shutter sound on/off menu: <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
3. Add an exit menu to the stock web browser: <CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>true</CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>
4. Enable infinite scrolling in home screen and app drawer: <CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>false</CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>
5. Enable scheduled message: <CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>
<CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>
6. Enable prompt to select recording mode: <CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderEnablePromptPopupToSelectRecMode></CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderEnablePromptPopupToSelectRecMode>
7. Enables Rotation control icon in Gallery: <CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>true</CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>
8. Stock browser requests Desktop site by default: <CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>true</CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>
E.) When done make sure you save the changes, and reboot.
F.) ENJOY!
Gonna be working hard on this tonite peeps to ensure which ones are working and which are not... just gotta get thru stupid work first! -__-
Expect a nice update tonite peeps. PLEASE if you know anything about this stuff, feel free to add on!
Good stuff man! I did the shutter sound and exit on stock browser. I'm not sure if it pertains to what I did or if it would have any effect on it (I doubt), but I lost my ability to press and hold to get punctuation on my Samsung keyboard. Lol

Any idea if the radio can be disabled/enabled thru csc features? In Australia, there is not radio on the s5. Not sure whether it's a hardware or software issue, but in others.xml file there is a line for <CscFeature_FMRadio_FrequencySpaceAs>100</CscFeature_FMRadio_FrequencySpaceAs>

I believe with original Touchwiz home, you have to MOD the TouchwizHome.apk to have infinite scroll through pages, as seen in MOD faster touchwiz launcher thread (see Index for easy link). Works from just apk push and no csc mod.
Also, here are the screenshots I promised. Says "null" for feature but my be able to MOD but wonder what it does...

Hey Joe. I'm thinking I may have deleted something else while doing my entries for enabling something. You think me doing that may have borked something? Would you happen to know the entry for the keyboard symbols.
Sorry to bring back up. I just got to thinking about it again and its bugging me (I don't even use the keyboard anymore lol) but good chance for me to learn something if another member has this problem.

You honestly probably did delete something man, you should've copied the original/unedited to your EXT SD Card so you had a backup of it just in case you fudged something up. I'm sorry but I do not know the CSC edit for keyboard symbols
