Gallery Hide Items Missing - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Im on Stock rooted MF9, and I seem to have lost the ability to Hide Items within the gallery. Handy feature, any clues out there. On a side note does it move the pictures or just change the file name?

Replacing notification icons

I assume this would be appropriate in the development forum, move it if it isn't.
Would it be possible to replace notification icons (one at a time) using root explorer in r/w mode? It seems that if you find an icon that you would prefer, name it exactly as the one that is being replaced, then remove the old one from framework-res.apk/res(whatever you are replacing), and paste the new one there, it would work. Right?
Should this be done on a "test" ROM using a PC, then flashed to the Aria? Would those paths be available if you navigated into the ROM using Windows Explorer?
I have used the UOT kitchen, but I don't want entire icon sets. If I select them individually, would they replace only those that are of identical notification value? Would it replace the BT connected icon with comprable icon, but only that icon, leaving the rest of the stock Sense set intact?
I am also interested in replacing notification icons that are packaged in Tasker. I would do the same process, navigating into that app. Should I try this or is it known to be impossible?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What ROM are you using? I did exactly what you described on CM6.1, replacing some status bar icons with their Sense equivalents.
I was even able to replace some notification icons in apps such as Music, Gmail, Email, etc.
I used Theme-Pro to do it and pushed all changes to phone in Recovery mode:

I'm a big fan of the many ADB "helper" applications on XDA, search around.
Tyr it, if you make a Nandroid backup, you've got nothing to lose, right?

[Q] Sharing images: am I missing something?

Normally in the Gallery application when you have an image showing on the screen, you have an option in the "Share" menu to upload to picasa. I know that my device is syncing my picasa web albums as the couple of images that I have previously uploaded are showing up in the Gallery. So it's odd that I don't have the Picasa option in the share menu. Also, aren't you supposed to be able to scroll the share menu? I've got quite a few items in that list and I'd be surprised if it doesn't go beyond the top of the screen (I know for certain it does in landscape mode....still can't scroll it).
Am I missing some option that I've overlooked? I'm moderately certain that Picasa showed up on a cyanogenmodded mt3g.
I have Picasa in my share menu.
Is it towards the top of your share menu?
I don't recall if it was at the top or if it would be alphabetical.
It's near the top, they aren't listed alphabetically, seems like just a random order.
That's what I was afraid of.
Though it would be nice if I could scroll the share list menu....
Not that I use picasa all that much.

[Q] Gallery Pictures as Wallpaper

When I browse in my Gallery it shows all the folders that I have locally as well as all my Google+ folders and on other devices I've been able to simply click on one of those images and set it as a Wallpaper. Now that I've got the GS4, I don't seem to be able to do this any longer and when I go through the Wallpaper settings to choose a picture it only allows me to use local images (same for contact images). Is there any way to change how this behaves?
Also, is there a fix for the weird treatment of landscape pictures (rotating them)?
Thanks.

Gallery Hidden items lost!

Hi, one of my friend has an Galaxy S4
he had some photos and videos hidden in the gallery and today, he was trying to hide some new ones which didn't show the hide option
so, we cleared the cache and data of GALLERY from the Application manager
since then, we've been unable to find those hidden items
Can anyone tell what happened to them?
(however, we discovered that files photos/videos that are on SD card don't show HIDE option in the stock gallery)
but lost those hidden items that we hid earlier
anyone has any idea where they'd be? Changed Location or gone?
Thanks

Change default contact pictures?

The default Samsung smiley face icon that shows up for every contact by default is awful.
Is there a way to easily replace it with another image? Is there an app I haven't found, or a flashable icon? I don't want photos synced from social media, and I don't want to manually edit each contact photo. I just want to quickly replace that image with something uniform.
Alternately, what system app is actually involved here? I use DialerOne for contact management, but each entry still points to system contacts with that horrible icon. Is there a dark-themed system app available without changing my whole ROM?
I'm running RicksRom 4.4.4. I've been searching for a solution without success.
