[Q] Trying to Install 2D Gallery? - G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps

Hi to all =]
Well it pretty much says it all. I got my phone rooted and tried installing Gallery.apk *using Therminal Emulator on the device* before that i uninstalled the 3D Gallery (personally i just find it kinda sloppy >.< ) aw btw Im using HTC Desire Z
the problem is everytime i try to install the 2d gallery it says "incompatible" etc. Can anyone please help me? Ive been searching and reading online for ages and nothing works >.< adb its not really an option for me coz i have no idea how to use it - i tried many times and somehow failed a lot
Am very new with all of this so please if you could keep it simple =]

Bump Bump for this.
Switched back to cm and really don't like the 3d gallery. I have it uninstalled but need the 2d gallery, without having to load the other ROMs and pull it. Let me see what I can come up with..

I used adb it worked for me
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk
adb push Gallery.apk /system/app/Gallery.apk
hope this helps

Thank you sir!! I just uninstalled 3d with titanium and d/l that file and opened straight from my phone (to lazy to walk to the pc, lol)
Again thanks Slake!

Awesome. I tried the adb commands and it worked. Thank you.
Anybody have the original Gallery3D.apk in case we want to go back after trying this? Could you keep both on there?

I have tried to keep both galleries on but i couldn't figure out how so i gave up..
but here is gallery3d if u ever need it..

THANK YOU!!! I love the way Gallery 3D looks, but my LORD is it slow! 2D is much better!

3D gallery sucks poo covered monkey tails
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6

not too happy with the normal gallery either.
try quickpic from market, its nice and fast.

[APP REQUEST] Help getting HTC Album to work in cm6

So I've been using the 3d gallery or whatever comes with Froyo its Gallery3d.apk
Anyway it totally sucks. It loads slow and half the time it doesn't even load all the photos. Personally I don't care about the lame 3d effects etc. I just want to load my pictures and show them off..
Now the HTC Album loads fast and shows all pics instantly.
Has anyone got the htcalbum.apk(from the offical htc 2.2) to work with cm6? I have tried flashing the .apk in a zip but it won't show up in programs.
Anyone have any ideas on getting this to work?

I think we'd have more luck trying to get droid 2.1 gallery to work

Quote of the year. I couldnt agree more. I know HTCAlbum is sense-integrated, so idk how much luck any dev would have getting it on a senseless ROM... but ANYTHING other than the 3DGallery would be faster i would think.

i bet if you made an update.zip and pulled a few framework files from /system/framework from a sense rom you might be able to get it to work. might want to check to see if it uses any htc libs too.

Need help finding HTC gallery.apk

Give me a minute ill test it on cm6 and let you know
I dont know if this is from htc but somebody got it from the incredible and its the gallery and it works perfectly on the evo
That one didnt work either. I would love to go back to the htc gallery also, hate the the 3d in cm
bump...anyone gotten this to work on CM6? I hate how slow 3d gallery is.
any HTC app is going revolve around sense and (more than likely) not going to work on a sense-less ROM. Trust me, I'd LOVE for that apk to work, because i LOATHE the 3dGallery.
I highly doubt cyanogen would even think about messing with trying to get it to work. if i knew more about sense and its framework, id dive right in and try to get it to work, but i know nothing about it.
theres another thread about this same thing here

Wow, that 3d gallery works really well on the evo, installed it just fine on stock 2.2 The only one i have found so far that is smooth, and retains the 8mp camera functionality. Where did you find this from? I notice the icon is different too from the stock android and HTC gallery. Can you get the gallery from 2.2 to work this well on the evo?
Bumping this because I also can't stand the 3D gallery and was wondering if anyone had any luck getting HTC Gallery to work on CM6.
Or are there any other galleries? Can't seem to find anything in the Market. Someone should kick Google in the google for coming up with the crapass 3D gallery with blurry previews and slow performance

I use the one that is posted in here..I found it somewhere else but I have to go in with root explorer and delete the gallery3D.apk then flash the above .apk in a zip through recovery.
It at least loads faster and loads all my pics everytime..
Have you got a flashable zip of the gallery you're speaking of? I only see it in the thead as an apk. Thanks!

You can only flash this with clockwork because I dont know how to sign .zips.
Thanks sir. That gallery worked for me but looks and acts just like the 3D gallery on my phone (only difference I notice is that the icon is different and it doesn't work with the camera) so I went back to the CM6 default 3d gallery.
Still wish there was a simple 2D Sense-like gallery for CM6
Good news - thanks to androidforums I was able to find the old AOSP 2D gallery. I've installed it and it works great on my 2.2 evo with CM6.
The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the little thumbnail in the camera. When you touch it, nothing happens (after uninstalling the 3d gallery that is).
But, you can press menu on the camera then click gallery it works!
Anyone who wants a 2D gallery on CM6 I highly recommend this. Multi-touch pinch to zoom works on photos as well as swipe for next.

[Q] Stock Gallery

I posted this on the CM Slide forum but I haven't gotten any actual help yet, I'm hoping someone here on XDA will be a bit more helpful
CM6/7 comes with the Gallery3D apk, which looks nice. However, it's slow. I hate opening it and sitting there waiting for the pictures to load, especially in folders with a lot of pictures.
It's even more annoying when I am trying to send an email/picture message and I have to sit there for a couple minutes waiting for them to load.
Does anyone have the stock gallery apk, or a good alternative? Or ANYTHING which will help whatsoever?
Thanks
So I don't know what this is, but the thread looked similar.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775897&highlight=gallery
You could try that out, the file on mediafire there is Gallery.apk, but I haven't tried it out.
Thanks for the quick response
I actually did try doing that, it worked but it was very..unorganized, I guess. And no way to change it around to make it better
I'm currently using JustPictures...hoping to pull the stock gallery from my girlfriends Slide when I see her..but I was hoping maybe someone had a nandroid backup or something.
I looked in the stock Eclair ROM and it' says HTCAlbum.apk. I'll upload the .apk for ya, I hope it helps you out somewhat.
EDIT: AlbumStuffs.zip has 3 files, the .odex and 2 lib files. Lemme know if that helps out Now I'm interested in if this works.
Thank you!
I'm going to try it now, I'll edit this when I find out what happens.
*edit*
No good. I get Application Not Installed.
I'm currently trying to push to /system/app via ADB, hoping that helps.
Any ideas on what might work if this doesn't?
Thanks!
**edit 2**
ADB install gives me Install Failed Missing Shared Library, I'm guessing there's another file that goes with the HTCAlbum.apk, maybe an odex or whatever?
Would you mind maybe doing a quick search for anything associated with it, and upload if you find it? I'd appreciate it
Thanks again.
i would like the samething. i hate that the 3d gallery lags!!
well, I've tried pushing those files, fresh installs, and a few other unorthodox methods... can't seem to get the 2D gallery working from the HTC based Album. I'm not a dev at all, so I really can't do much else to help out here. Maybe a dev will glance over here while they are bored and looking for a project or something? Good Luck though, hope you are able to get this working.
You can't pull the stock gallery for several reasons. One, it's odexed, and our rom isn't, which might be why you get app not installed. Frameworks aren't compatible. Even if it was deodexed, it wouldn't work, since stock htc apps are tightly tied into com.htc.resources.apk and other htc and tmobile framework apk files which cm roms don't have. It is probably impossible to run htc system apps as standalone apps on other roms. Personally I don't have gallery issues running cm7, but if you do you will have to find a market alternative.
You can also select a tool like astro when attaching images when it asks you what you want to use to select an image, if you are having issues with the stock gallery from google.

[Q] Android pc emulator with clockworkmod on??

hey guys,
just curious as it would be much easier to test out roms out before we flash them to our phone...
is there any way to install cwm onto an android emulator or make an android emulator that accepts the .zip files (the compressed rom) so we can view it on the emulator thats on the computer.
no worries if theres nothing like it but it would be alot quicker and easier.
Cheers
Bump for this. I would also like to know this.
i read somewhere that u could run android on ur computer... not sure about clockwork though... dont ask me for the site cause i saw it while i was on StumbleUpon
yeah its in the android sdk on google... trouble is its horribly slow and doesnt run clockworkmod unfortunately....
no worries if there isnt, its just the fact that it would be very nice to test a rom on the pc without having to miss a phone call or spend the time installing a rom then realise it was a waste of time lol.
fingers crossed something pops up in the future ay?
I think I saw a company working on a seamless VM sunning Android for Windows PC's.

that link has instructions on getting an old CM on your emulator.
if you're kitted out with the stuff to build CM from source, you can build for the emulator, then put your .img fils in the emulator's avd directory, and it will work.
it's amaingly slow though
yeah i know its pig slow lol
i like the idea of the vm android
every android emulator ive tried so far is really slow, even on two ssd's in raid 0 lol
well thanks for the help guys any more ideas keep them posted as it may help others

Can i get teeter again !!!

After i rooted my desire and flashed many roms i remembered the HTC awesome game (teeter) ...i searched about its apk and got it ..but when it opens it says that it can be only displayed on htc devices ....
Lool ..its desire hhhhhh
So what ?????
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
haha remember that game for the short time I played it, quite good fun!
However, it is an HTC game, so will likely only work on sense based roms.
Teeter probably checks this on startup, since you're on PA, it doesn't recognise it as HTC firmware.

I was trying to move this game and weather widget to CM 7, but pretty all HTC apps in /system/app consist of 2 files: apk + some library(?).
As far as I remember, copying just the apk caused FC. I haven't succesfully copied this second file, because the system was then extremely unstable and I have given up.
But there are few Teeters on Android Market, none of them so nice, but still
yeah i tried that too
