In a way I like the stock image viewer apart for 1 major flaw!
It shows every single mage that is on the device
Looking for a alternative which you could set folder it will display.
I'm using 1.6
Thanks

Yeah. The stock viewer is horrible.
Try - JustPictures!
I haven't found a better image viewer - and being a photographer and designer, it's pretty important to me.

Thank that is exactly what I was looking for, being able to show only specific folder & some extras like showing facebook,flickr etc pictures is a bonus.

Create a .nomedia file in the folders you want to ignore

Photovault and videovault work well, but they are very simple, the beauty is that they hide select photos/videos from other apps. No bells or whistles included.
I'd suggest backing up all media before trying the .nomedia trick as for some reason when I tried it, it decided to delete all my media that wasn't in the specific folder I wanted to hide.

Anyone have a better option for Facebook then the Android Market place app? It keeps having an error when i try to do mobile uploads and in general is not very good. Thanks in advance
Uploads of pictures? it gives me trouble from time to time. Just wish it didn't direct to the mobile site other than that it is as good as iphone version

I use the actual web page.....well I try to until it changes back to the facebook touch...grrrrr
It makes sense as the screen is so big
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yes Facebook is not the best. I have no problems uploading images, but the no landscape mode for the home screen, as well as not being able to click youtube links really annoys me.
I think facebook just needs to buckledown on this. With android being the most sold phone os in the past 6 months... yeah facebook lets update that app, becasuse right now it sucks.

Hi
Try the app 'bff photo' for uploading pictures & video works very well. Videos cant be uploaded from the web page using phone. But as fazzibear said the web site is best as screen is big enough.

I agree! Facebook app is not very good.
Android and Facebook is huge... no excuse for the sucky app.

Anyone with any apps that can do folders.. google forgot that part of the story...
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
search the market for the following:
astro file
es file
File manager HD
you mean all those apps can create a folder on my desktop to put my apps in them??
Try Simi Folder, from the Market. I haven't tried it on the tablet yet but it works great on my phone. It may be just what you're looking for, considering there's no means to do it inherently.

Can you please explain yourself in a bit more detail? Maybe explain exactly what you want to achieve or what you're comparing this functionality to? Then members can probably help you a bit better.
I too thought you just wanted to manipulate files on your tablet. I have no idea what you mean by "create a folder on my desktop to put my apps in them".
I am talking about creating a folders on my main screen so that I can put my games in one folder just like how we do it normally on our Android devices. So that i can have a shortcut on my main screen for my games. Hope i was clear enough??

Ok, you mean the Home Screens. Sorry, I thought you meant the desktop of a computer OS like Windows 7 or OSX. In which case I was stumped.
There's no option for that on the A500 it seems. Not sure if that's due to Acer or Google. But you can put your games in the Game Zone if you wish, I use that as a replacement for Home Screen folders. Just go into your app drawer and look for the Games shortcut. It also links to Multimedia, ebooks and social so you can throw those kind of apps into those areas as well and switch through quickly.
Hope this helps.
simi folder is good and free.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/simi-folder-widget/com.th.android.widget.SiMiFolder
not sure how it looks and performs on the tab...
or folder organizer
http://www.appbrain.com/app/folder-organizer/com.abcOrganizer
theres also a free lite version
both are actual widgets which then are used as "folders"
nor real folders with drag and drog
Folder organizer is fine, powerfull.
Thanks guys...

Hi. I'm new to the forums, but just figured this out - so be gentle.
This basically tricks apps into thinking your phone is a Nexus One
Download and install the netflix.apk (not sure if I'm allowed to post - I'm sure you can find it.)
1. Copy /system/build.prop to a local directory and change the following settings:
ro.product.name=libra_passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.product.board=mahimahi
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys
2. replace /system/build.prop with the edited build.prop
adb remount
adb push yournewbuild.prop /system/build.prop
3. Reboot
4. Enjoy
How to I get to step one? Sorry I am a noob to this. Please help! Or could you post the modded apk?
Any side effects of changing those settings?
Here are some better instructions.

I used this method and it worked great.

Same play for 2 seconds and then goes to the main menu screen. Both on 3G and Wifi.
I might get a membership for this, but I don't have an unlimited data plan and don't want to think of the charges I'd ring up. If I'm at home with my wifi I'd just use a TV.
Unless there's a way around that?
I just installed the Netflix apk file and it worked like a charm. I didn't edit anything. Also as for data usage refer to this http://blog.netflix.com/2011/03/netflix-lowers-data-usage-by-23-for.html. it mostly depends on your settings but it can, in turn, consume quite a bit of data.

Is there a way to download the entire movie at home and watch it later while out and about?

You opened it with read only privilege. You need to open it with a program that has root access.
You did make a backup copy first, right?
I used es file explore and I clicked the boxes to grant root access. It says error and just reverts back to what it was

I'm not sure if this applies to android, but there is a sort of "anti piracy" measure that comes with how video files are played on windows and mac systems. taking a screenshot of your desktop always returns a black screen of where the video is at. There are some softwares out there for pc and mac that can override the settings, but I do not know of one for android. There's probably one, i just dont know it.
I've used an app called "freeze frame" to do what you want.
Sony has an application on the market for this called Frame Grabber

Bumping coz i want to know the answer as well! I cant get calibre to recognise the tablet and so cant use that either!
Try creating an empty .no media file in the covers folder then rebooting the tablet.

Just to clarify the above poster, get a file browser app if you already don't have one installed (I use EsFileExplorer).
1. Navigate to the folder where you have all your audiobooks stored
2. Tap the menu button > New > File
3. Rename the file ".nomedia" (no quotes)
You don't need to put anything in the file and now all the files in that folder will not show up in your gallery.
Thanks u guys rock!
