Syncing Picasa with my Gallery - I need help

**gregs1213** · 07-31-2012, 03:06 PM

I've searched a bunch of threads, and nothing has helped. Most threads are how to remove it.

I'm on jellybean if that makes a difference, I never had it sync'd with ICS.

If you're asking how to sync Picasa to your phone, go to settings>accounts and sync and check sync Picasa Web albums.

I don't have that option though. I have Facebook, Google and Add Account. When I click add account, I get "Corporate, Email, Facebook, Google"... My account is already sync'd with my G-Mail...

Isn't your Picasa account same as your Gmail account?

I'm not running JB but shouldn't be any different. When you go to account and sync, isn't your Gmail account listed?

Yes, I got to "Setting -> Accounts -> Google" and I click that.. These are my options:

Maps and Latitude
Search
Location
Google +

So when you go to settings>accounts and sync then click your Google account listed there, you don't see things like sync calendar, sync contacts, sync gmail, etc?

I don't know, maybe it's something to do with the jb rom you are running.

Normally when you first sign onto the phone with a Google account, it syncs Picasa Web albums by default, which is why there are a the threads about removing it.

Sorry couldn't help.

If you're running Jelly Belly 4.0 to 5.0 (5.1 may also have the problem), it's the Gallery app. You'll have to replace it with a previous version. Will have to look up the app, but I think it's called GalleryGoogle.apk and use it to replace Gallery2.apk in system/media.

Yes, I have everything sync'd.. There is no Picasa, but there is Google Photos.. and that is sync'd as well.

I'm going to try and find the other gallery app like the poster above me suggested.

Thanks for all your help!

Hey it worked!! Thank you!

Someone made a flashable zip that replaces it for you!

I found it here on the third post down:

Edit: Haha.. Just noticed my camera is now missing.. It's ok.. I just downloaded "Camera ICS"

Cool, glad that worked. I had to do the same thing, although I just replaced the app so I still had the camera. Many of the newer ROMs are having the issue. I had read something about how Google is doing something with the camera and gallery apps that has caused the mess. Hopefully it'll get worked out and we don't have to revert back some of the apps to keep the photo sync working.
