I managed to get the Nexus One gallery working on my Desire yesterday. I found this tip via Google and hadn't seen it on here so I thought I'd share:
h tt p://nimbu.amorvi.com/20 10/04/add-the-nexus-one-gallery-to-htc-desire/
The Nexus One gallery is a bit slicker than the standard HTC one, allowing you to view your photos on a 3D wall, and sort them via date.
One drawback is that the camera link doesn't work. There's also been some debate as to the display quality of the images when displayed in Gallery. Some people think there's colour banding. I've seen some evidence of this too. Still pretty cool though.
Enjoy
is that not just the same as this other post?

It looks really nice but at loading pictures the default photo app is much faster!

Has anyone else noticed this? When you go to Photos on your Desire and browse them - even if full screen - they never show up sharp, but bit blurry. If you zoom in/out on them they soon sharpen up. Weird.
Just wondering if its an issue with my phone or general issue.
Sorry few posts this morning... Its been a Desireble morning.

There's an explanation for that..

Thanks for the link. I agree with the many opinions that this is an issue with resolution, NOT color depth. The pics are blurry - not sharp.
Hope this can be fixed soon. I use the Photos gallery to show pics to friends etc and it doesnt look impressing.

I think you're mistaking the Cooliris gallery you find on stock 2.1 with the Photo gallery on the Desire which is HTC's own app for Sense UI.
Look up Cooliris and Nexus One.

My mistake. I've not got my Desire yet (Roll on, Monday) so just thought they'd be using the same gallery app.
If you find any information on this matter though, keep us posted.
To the OP, could you elaborate? Are these pictures you took on the phone camera? Did you sync them from your PC and if so did you just drag and drop them onto the SD or did you use some syncing software i.e. Doubletwist? Did you download them from the phones browser and if so was it over Wifi or 3G?
I just sent over a large photo (4656x3600) and it's sharp in preview mode and zoomed in. I synced some photos using Doubletwist and it reduced the size of the photos without me knowing...so it wasn't the phone. Pictures I've taken with the phone are also fine.
Its most noticeble with photos taken with the Desire camera. If you zoom in or out they sharpen, otherwise they are bit fussy.
Please check if the zooming does any difference on yours?
I'n not having this problem at all with my Desire.

Yes, I see what you're talking about. The picture isn't shown full resolution until you do some zooming in or out.
I must say, personally it's not that big a deal, and I can't seem to find any way to change that behaviour.

Yes, but that just degrades the visual quality WAY more than the HTC photo app.

It does?? I heard it is a great app...
I'm not having any such problem with either the photos app or the Gallery3D app
They show blurry as the system is showing a lower quality thumbnail that it has saved so that browsing between them is quicker. Once you start zooming in it loads the full size image and it becomes sharper.
any update on this , as a photographer i have my portfolio
on my Desire handy to show my pictures to anyone that is interested..
but it always take me to zoom them in a little to render them sharp which is a pain in the but when wanting to show them off in a quick manner...
if not any good alternatives then the gallery...
Does anyone have Gallery 3D successfully working on the EVO and syncing photos with picasa???
If so, how... and can you provide directions.
Thanks!!!

From what I've read, the Gallery 3D has bugs (crashes when you use the camera). Anyone know of a more bullet-proof way of synching Picasa web photos with the Evo? How about a Picasa-like photo viewer on the Evo that will edit & organize photos like the Picasa desk-top application?
Try this one...it works great.
i've been using 3D gallery on my EVO since the first day I got it. It's been flawless and it's extremely smooth as well. You probably just got a bad apk. Try the newer ones, you'll love it.
Thanks david279. Your attached APK worked great on my Evo.
Many thanks, I appreciate it.
When you open the camera via the gallery, it only gives you the ****tiest resolution, it hasnt been properly ported to the evo yet
also zooming in on a photo makes it look like its crap in 3-d gallery, its like its zooming in on a low-res sample and not the 8mp image that it is. If i zoom in with htc's gallery it looks incredible.

Works fine on my phone as well... for the record, you do have to wait a bit for the image to full load when you zoom in. It will zoom in pixelated and then after a bit it will sharpen up and look the way it should.
Here's the new working link.

there you go guys.
Unfortunately the pictures viewed in the Gallery won't be loaded in a higher resolution when zooming in. Can anybody confirm this?
Confirmed, this application ideed doesn't refine when zoomed. Didn't do with Desire neather. I would like to have a HTC album application. That one does zoom and refine...
Search image viewer on market,it should work properly
indeed - but this gallery is a great looking app... don't want to give it away ;-)
The problem is that there's nothing to refine. What I've read in the reviews that the image app makes a smaller version of the original image. So you are looking at less the pixels than the original image. Stupid but hey, It's not a camera.

Thanks for that - can now see pics in much higher res, but the app lacks a few basic gallery features, such as rotate, swipe/move to next pic, etc. Any alternatives?
What about installing the nexus one gallery app like what we did with the milestone?

Pretty stupid indeed, with a gallery you want to watch the original images... Not some thumbnail. Hope this will be fixed in the future...
Hello all
prehaps im missing the point, and it is just that its in 3d. but why are so many people interested in gallery 3d over the stock htc desire gallery.
stock has access to facebook and seems faster.
whats so good about it?
The 3D gallery is more polished and visually appealing. The HTC gallery on the other hand is better optimized. It's faster and it renders pictures at a higher quality when you zoom. Depends on what you want really. I used to have the 3D gallery and even with the quality hack it didn't render pictures as well as the HTC gallery and it was a bit sluggish on the Desire.
also dont know whats all the fuss about gallery 3d
there is nothing 3d about it - yeah, you have to tilt your phone (and you have to get it right or else it wont register the movement) and tiles of pictures shift to the side
dont see any real use to it - it doesnt even have that "cool" factor since its useless
+ its slow as hell compared to normal gallery
Yeah i hate when it is included in roms as i do not use it at all. It's so freaking slow. HTC Gallery everytime where possible.
lol, so glad its not just me, know to work out how to package a rom after i remove it each time....
gallery 3d has integration with picasa web albums. that`s why ivuse it.
Is it possible to put HTC Gallery instead of 3D in Custom ROM?

I have my contacts in the people app linked to their facebook profiles ,there contact pics seem very pixelated where as on my desire hd they were fine ,is there any way to alter them

Yeah i have the same problem to,i think is a HTC problem.I edited a contact and selected to take a picture.In the galery the picture looks good,but when it calls it's verry pixelated.
Did you noticed that it flickers a bit when you scroll down?
Its a common problem for all devices on ics. Google ics contact pic resolution and see the results.Google dropped the ball on this.

Using HaxSync worked great on the Galaxy Nexus because it synced high resolution contact pics from FB. I'm using it on the One X and although it syncs, the pictures are still pixelated . Dammit HTC!
this isn't a new problem is it? I had this on my old desire and google and facebook pics were pretty bad.
Isn't there any app on the playstore that has the option to view the full screen picture of the contact?I mean,on IOS when somebody calls you,the picture apears on fullscreen.I am thinking that if we use some apps we won't have this problem with the pixelated pictures because it's a custom app wright?
Maybe we should write to HTC so that they can come up with a fix for this..its really annoying..

Yeah, it's called HaxSync. Works great for Galaxy Nexus, but I tried it on the One X and the pictures are still pixelated. I think it's because of Sense.
I don't think so.After posting in this thread i tryed something.I had some old pictures taken with a Nikon camera in my PC,so i tooked a picture with my wife,put it on dropbox,after that i've downloaded that picture in my phone and set it up as picture for my wife contact.Now when she calls the picture is absoluthely amazing,i mean,no pixels involved.Could this be a size problem?The pictures that were taken with the Nikon had 4240X3680 resolution.
I also wondered, why is it so damn stupid quality... it isn't difficult to make it high res..
using Haxsync too, it's better than standard..
Go here for the best app
