cant view jpgs??

I didn't post this in the post root problems because up until yesterday I had no problems and have had root since it was made available.
I can't view jpg files in my file explorer any more. I was using Astro up until yesterday but the beta expired so I downloaded Estrongs, which I love, other than the fact that I can't click on a jpg thumbnail to view it. I get "Sorry, cannot start this application" at the bottom of the screen. I was using Astro viewer as default prior to uninstalling it, but assumed I would be prompted to reset a new default program. Ive cleared any defaults on the camera as well.
Maybe it should be mentioned that I also thought it might be a limitation of Estrongs so I tried Root Explorer and same deal there. I take a lot of pics with my phone and look at them quite often so I need to figure this one out. If anyone has any ideas on what to try I would sincerely appreciate it.
Worst case scenario I deal until the devs here earn some more donations by giving us CM6......hopefully.

Is MMS still working for you?
I've got the same issue.
No Pictures and no MMS possible.
In my case, I guess, its because I deleted Mediascape (and or the Gallery App?).
As I don't have any BackUps, I'm waiting till next Root release, and will not delete them anymore...

Try downloading another picture viewer - like Piqture for example, and see if you still have the same problem..

Japp, that did the Trick for me. Gallery within PiQture works, and MMS are available again
Thanks Pal.

Nope i tried piQture and im still getting the same notifications. I also have just pictures installed and i dont even get asked to set it as default.
I can get the mms and see the thumbnail view of it in my conversations, but when i touch the pic to enlarge it, i get the error? Really irritating :-[

Well i reinstalled astro and everything is fine now. My annoyance is that i actually wanted to use Estrongs. Liked the feel of it better. It must occur since i uninstalled mediascape and astro had the only image viewer. Other 3rd party apps just didnt work as well. Now i have to stare at the adds in astro :-(

Open youtube video in high quality

Hi, the galaxy s has a beautiful screen and a powerful graphic card. It will be a waste if viewing video in normal or lower quality. However, when loading from youtube, the default video mode is normal quality, and it's quite troublesome to change the mode every time. Anyone knows the way to change the default to high quality?

download this youtube addon and install it on your phone.
it will enable a "HQ" button next to the play/pause buttons in the lower right corner of the display.
i think this also enables playing videos in HQ everytime you start playing a video, but I can't test this since I'm waiting for a replacement SGS.
regards

Wish program do you use to open this file "YouTubeHD.apk"? Can`t do it when i use winzip.

If you google youtubehd.apk you'll see a lot of results that suggest people are ripping the EVO 4G's youtube app and putting it on their phones. I'm not the original poster, but will assume that's where this is from before I hear otherwise.
I wish I'd thought of ripping the various apps off my EVO 4G before returning it to Sprint for a refund.

That would be exactly what I did, and I thank you so much for posting this

Thank you for this.
It looks like an official app.
Why do not google update this like the other apps?

it doesn't work for me.. it won't let me open saying it's not an authorized app from market..or something

here :
YouTube v1.6.19e.apk woks great on my desire & Galaxy s

thanks for the reply, but i'm getting the same message.
when i try to launch the file using ASTRO, it says install blocked, and says for security reasons, its set to block installation of apps not sourced in market..

Go to settings then applications -then click unknown sources, should work after that

ahhh i dont see unknown sources.. whats happening!!
sorry to be a bother

Well there is the HD button and it's defaulted on HD in JP3 firmware.. That suggest it will be so in the future official release too.

What phone do you have? The Captivate has had that removed from it. You can still install with adb or a sideloader app, I believe.

Just updated the firmware - and still this is needed. Thank you again!
However, it seems to default to normal quality, when on 3g network. I wish I could force it to hd/hq all the time?

[Q] Photogram App

Hi,
My wife has a photo app called photogram which is a photo editor. I believe it came from Samsung. This app lets you colorize your photos, make them look antique, build a collage, etc.
What's weird is i can't find it in the Zune or Samsung marketplace to download to my phone, any idea where to get this from??
Thanks!

I have the same app. It seems to have disappeared from Marketplace a few days ago. I'm not sure what happened.

That stinks, it's one of the better photo apps. It was only up for a couple days. Hopefully there is an update in the works.

I hope you're right. I tried to help a friend load it on his Focus, and that's when I noticed it had disappeared. I do not want to reset my phone until it's back (not that I need to, but if I did)! lol

it might just be removed because of a bug the developer of the app has the option to un-publish it or update it. most likly they un-published it.

The App is back in the Market. This time it is even listed under Samsung Zone portion of the Market. The HDR functionality is amazing.

go to samsung zone in marketplace
it's there in the samsung zone under marketplace...pretty cool little app! 5 stars! I must admid the "Now" application by Samsung is much better after recent update! Uses Accuweather for weather and Yahoo Finance for stocks, but no live tile yet. Oh well I think the live tiles could use too much data if not careful.
ATHIX

Its under the samsung zone.

[Q] Android Convert From Apple - Photos Question

What up peeps! I decided not to go with the iPad2 and wait on the galaxy tab and man am I happy. I love this device so far but unfortunately I have never worked with Android before so some things that I figured would be pretty self explanatory aren't quite that. I did some searching around this forum and havent seen the question asked so here goes. I connected my Tab to my PC and moved all of my photos into the the photos folder. However when I go to my gallery native app, my photos do not appear. I tried to go into the settings to see if I could map my gallery to the photos folder but to no avail. Where exactly am I suppose to load my gallery images to for them to show up when I launch the gallery app. Second question related to gallery, I can get to my photos folders using any one of the file explorer apps, and view my photos there but when I try to set them up as my wallpaper, they only take up a portion of the screen instead of the whole screen like the native wallpapers. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance for any help! Much appreciated!

Reboot and your photos should show in gallery. I believe the only folder that is auto scanned for changes is DCIM/camera.
The wallpaper is an android thing, it sucks. There may be an app in the market to set wallpaper, but all the ones I have seen always crop and zoom. I think I saw something in the general section of the transformer forum for setting wallpaper.
BTW the resolution on the default wallpaper is 2135x1408.

Thanks Daniel. You are the man! I thought it auto scanned each time you opened Gallery after I saw the images i moved into the DCIM/Camera. They are all where they should be now! I have to agree about the Wallpaper. Its pretty jacked up with the always crop and zoom. I'm going to head out to the market and see if I can find a better wallpaper app. I'll look in Transformer general section to see if I can pull the name of the app! Much appreciated!

Wallpaper Wizardrii is the answer to all funky cropping
Daniel-
You are the man. I found this over in the Transformer general section. Works like a charm.
Finally a Fix for your Wallpaper Re-sizing/Cropping.
1.Download: Wallpaper Wizardrii - Free on Android Market
2.Preferences: HD Image Size - Change to 1600
Image Compression - Change to 100% (actually equals 0 Compression)
3. Enjoy your full image.
For Fun turn off wallpaper scrolling when you set your Image and watch your Home Screen Fly!

I also use a feature in an app called Gallery Excluder that allows me to force a scan of all files at my leisure.
The purpose of the app is to exclude folders from the scan, but one feature is to force the scan of all folders. It works well.

I will have to try this one out too! It hasnt been 24hrs yet and Im already down to 10gbs left on my 32gb GTab! LOL Im loving every minute of it.
Now the next question is do I root it so I can tether it to my iPhone! Still searching the forums for an alternate solution but so far every app I downloaded doesnt even see my iphone as a wifi hotspot! LOL

just try QuickPic instead of the default gallery , it has all these features inbuilt.

iPhone 4 or 3GS?
I don't think the 3 can create and infrastructure hot spot, only ad-hoc which takes rooting to connect to. I could be wrong about that though as I'm not an Apple guy.
If you have a 4, TetherMe is an app that should allow you to create an infrastructure hotspot and your 10.1 will connect to it.
Or you can just get a Nexus S 4G like me with infrastructure mode out of the box...

zte locker apk

Hi, i was wondering if someone had an apk of zte locker. I would like to have the app on other devices as i love the app.
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure that's gonna work.
If we grab an apk from the Axon 7 system we'll need it's libs too and the libs are probably optimized for the Axon7 and nothing else.
Sorry mate, but you probably won't be able to get it running on another device without some tweaking.
It's possible we could port ZTE Locker to a different ROM on the same device but even that could prove difficult.

I was looking for the same thing, but what I really want its just the wallpapers.... does anybody know from where the ZTE Locker gets the wallpapers?

Google Wallpapers has a feature where it'll refresh the wallpaper daily.

yes, but the wallpapers from the ZTE Locker app are way better (IMO)

Good chance I'll be diving into the ZTE locker apk to try and get some information on where the wallpapers come from, and with what encoding they're stored. I mean it has a way to save them so if I can reverse engineer that I could theoretically make a tool to download them all without even using ZTE Locker.
I think ZTE Locker is actually made by a different company, but I forget the name

just FYI, im pretty sure the app save the wallpapers in a folder call "utooolockscreen", but the files are .uwp
Changing the extension to jpg, bmp or png does nothing.

Ah thanks!
Utoooo, that's what I was trying to think of. The package name is com.utooo.lockscreen something or other.
And thanks for the .uwp info.
Don't they have a way to manually save the wallpapers though? I imagine that just does a proper conversion to a more standard format, it was either PNG or JPEG, don't recall.
Hopefully I can get started on this tomorrow, but as for now I've a last-minute Valentine's day gift to worry about :/
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk

When you mark a wall as Favourite it gets downloaded in JPEG format. Seriously, can anybody export and patch ZTE Locker to work on other phones?

Yeah I'm working on it. I find it doubtful I'll be able to totally port it over to another device. It's more likely I can find the source of the wallpapers and implement it into a different lockscreen

Poking around in my decompiled ZTE Locker, I've found 42 default wallpapers.
Some of them I've never actually seen in the rotation, which is curious. Others I've seen quite often. Doesn't seem like it's perfectly random.
And they actually misspelled the word "default" on two of them haha
I figured I'd upload them to AFH and link that here since I don't think this is worth a new thread. I suppose if someone thinks it is, you're welcome to start one.
In the meantime I'll keep looking into how they download the other wallpapers, besides these 42.

Found something very interesting:
From this web request "http://rms-deu.ztems.com/ZteLockScreenAPI/updateProgramList.json?model=ZTE%20A2017G&product=P996A04_N&device=ailsa_ii&brand=ZTE&version=7.0&userName=1234&screenSize=2560x1440&branch=TYPE_ABROAD&imei=<youremei>" you will recieve a json string. This json contains (if the request was successfull) a list of "resourceList" which contains some information about the pictures currently available like the url from where you can download the image.
I just created a small application which does exactly that and it is working perfectly fine.
This could be easily implemented into an Android app
Not sure though if permissions from ZTE would be required but I guess they are.

In Android 6 it had the option to download them and they'd be saved as regular jpgs. So if anyone knows the address of the server, which is no doubt somewhere in the app, we could just directly download the files. My phone was wiped during my upgrade to Android 7 and I lost all of the ones I had saved. In Android 7 it doesn't seem to be working at all anymore, it comes with 21 and it never updates for me no matter what I try, and unlike the Android 6 version before you can't just force it to refresh and get all them you want.
Edit: Just saw the post before mine.

Did you remove "<" and ">" in the IMEI parameter?

+1 to this. It is a a nice replacement for the ZTE locker on RR. Now it doesn't change wallpapers every time you press the power button, but it's better than nothing. Sucks, though, I can't seem to hide sensitive notification content?
