How do I get the stock Android Photo Gallery in Sense?

I hate to say it but I actually prefer the candy coating user experience of Sense to that of Stock Android. While playing with CM5 there were many things I liked and many I didn't. As a result I went back to Sense. Perhaps it just because it's what I have grown to know over the last couple days.
Anyway, the one thing in CM I really did like was the Photo Gallery, which included Picasa. Anyone know what I can do to get that Photo Gallery into Sense?
I think I might play with some other Sense ROMs today. Maybe someone has already done the work for me.
Thanks in advance for any help.

i may be able to make a zip for you. wow im busy tonight. i have to make a theme for the droid/milestone, a theme and two zips for sense roms.

I don't mind doing it myself. I just need a push in the right direction. I'm technically inclined but 3 days new to Android. What exactly am I looking for? Is the stock Photo Gallery a widget or app of sorts?
If you are willing to send me something later, that's cool too. I'm just trying to suck in as much info as possible. I don't want to cook or anything but I'd like to be able to have better control of what I can do to my existing ROM.
Thanks!

it is an app. if you want a zip i can make one. if not, the app is located in the system/app folder of cm5. all you have to do is put the app in the tools folder of the sdk and adb push gallery.apk /system/app in rcovery.

Ok, cool. My plan is to play with adb today and install wireless tethering and update the kernel to support true AP Mode. I'll see what I can do with this too.
Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how I make out.

update- the app is called gallery3d.apk

So I installed the app and it seems to be working just fine. Thanks.
I'd like a widget or something for it so it's open on a home screen without needing to open the app. Additionally, is there any modding of the app file that I can do fix or remove the camera button. It doesn't seem to work in Sense.
Thanks again for all your help.

not that i know of.

Yeah, I just extracted it from CM after I got the name. I thought it was also a widget but it's not. Thanks for the other post though.

There is the possibility it could also be a widget. I may be mistaken, but I think unless you actually installed the gallery, in order to use the widget you'd have to delete some file. Again, I may be mistaken, I haven't tried this.
EDIT: I'm just thinking this because I remember in order to properly remove the Facebook/Twitter/etc widgets from stock, one had to remove some sort of database to force a widget database refresh, because it only does that on a legit (un)install

[Q] How to replace icons?E: 10-23

I would like to change some of my app icons could anyone help a total nube?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Edit: I'm going to put together the information I've learned from asking this question and the links and post them here thanks to everyone that helped me I know I still have allot to learn so anymore info would be greatly appreciated

There are a couple options afaik.
You can use ADW Launcher, which will let you choose any picture/logo/icon for any app you put on yr homescreen. I use almost all Launcher Pro icons in my ADW Launcher.
Or, much more involved and complete, rip open the apk in question and replace the icon with one of ur choosing.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

I was thinking of trying to open the apk because I like sense but not shute what programs I need or what to look for but I'm willing to learn.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

You really just need the program 7zip.
After you have it set up, right click on any apk, highlight 7zip, and pick open archive. The icon you'll want to change is in res/drawables andshould be called icon. Be sure any new icon you put in there is the same format, size and name. I have never made my own icons, just used others, I recommend icons from droidicons.com/launcherpro That may not be the exact page, but Google it if you like the minimalist theme.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

Thanks I'll give it a try in the morning I'm trying to use riptide's glass icons just to make everything match but I think I'll look at the others you suggested too and post some screens when I'm done

change icons
You need a program called NinjaMorph its not hard to learn biut once you do you can google any image and use it as an icon to the apk of your choice.

****, Ninjamorph looks like a sweet idea, haven't used it yet, but may have to give it a try.

Keep in mind that NinjaMorph only works on System Apps and does not work on Market Apps. If you want to change Market Apps the only way to do so is to open the apk and insert them.
[Obviously, you could use an alternative launcher but that only changes the icon on your home screen and not in the Apps Drawer]

Yeah, I have always just used 7zip to edit the apk's before install.

Sorry, there is a bit more to it.
You also need to delete the META-INF folder and resign the apk.
I use this signing tool APK Signing Tool
It's an edited version of a zip signer. I didn't make it, got everything from this old thread Editing APK's

Thanks good thread. So using these will rewrite the meta file that I delete? After I do this I assume that the market apps will have to be manually updated and edited again.

Yep, a new meta-inf is built for you.
When there's updates for apps, it sucks, gotta redo everything
I went through and did all mine to Launcher Pro style icons, thought I was done, then the updates start rolling in and screwing with everything. Now, when I try a new ROM, I just preload it with all my edited apps before flashing, makes for a bunch of work up front, but it sure is nice to just flash, sync, and go. Then I disable all updates until it looks like something important is fixed/added.
And slightly off topic, what's the deal with market app developers putting out like 27 updates every week, driving me crazy. I know I have a lot of apps, but it seems like every time I look, 19 updates available. And I gotta go look at change logs and waste all my precious time at work when I should be getting stuff done, it's all their fault when my crews production runs low

I know exactly what you mean but it seems like some of them update everyday. Thank you for all the help was hopeing to be finished tonight but my nice just crashed my computer but as soon as I get it back up and going I'll be good the one good thing about it is it gives me a chance to do a dual boot with linux

[REQUEST] 2.3 sleep/wake animation EVO port ~

Not sure if anyone's trying to get this already but I would like to have the sleep/wake animation (looks like old tv turning off) that is new in gingerbread 2.3.
I am running myn's rls4. (He has 2.3 the keyboard in his first post now btw)

I'm with you on this one. Of all the small cosmetic changes I've seen with gingerbread, the wake/sleep animation is definitely the coolest. I'm also running RLS 4.

I too am excited for just this ONE feature. lol

Add me to the list!

If its in there I will find it

Reading in the forum from the hacked sdk version echo released that feature is not in it. Could be wrong though.

You are correct, I am running that version right now just playing with it. The sleep/wake animation is not there at all

I was browsing the other forums last night and found a sort of user made one, I think it was in either the N1 dev scetion or the Incredible. Not sure which one I saw it in. Yea it was in the Incredible section.

Thread moved to Q&A.

Here is the animation re-made (I removed the 'HTC').
Use rootexplorer to search for 'shutdown.zip' or 'downanimation.zip'
It will most likely be located at /system/customize/resource .
Rename my upload to what you find in your rom is named and replace.
*note*
I cannot find this in myn's rom so it is probably named something different =/ SO, this is totally experimental.
Please let me know what you guys find.

I don't seem to have to folder on my cyanogen 6.1 or that file is there somewhere else it would be or named.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

FYI
Even if this did work (which it won't on myn's rom as he has no shutdown animation in his build) This zip would be modding the power down animation, not the sleep/wake animation.....
But, feel free to let us know if your rom has powerdown animation and if this worked for you =)

yeah i didnt get any animation sorry bro

I would give just about ANYTHING to get this working on my EVO with WarmTwoPointTwo RLS 5.
I tried the Cyanogen7 nightlies and the screen off/on animations and the black menus were the only thing I liked. There is a mod for the menus now, so I just NEED the tv on/off animations.
I am very very much interested in this.

UOT Kitchen - Post your UOT Kitchen work here!

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but maybe this would be a good starting point for us to post our own UOT Kitchen interfaces, give tips for other users on how to utilize every function the Kitchen gives us, and basically show off our work!

quick question, how do you use the stuff created from UOT kitchen? is it just simply installing something on your phone? or you have to push the files to your phone to certain paths?

You have to upload files to
Uot and then it will give you a zip to flash. I've been trying to use it with CM7 but I'm not having too much luck. I want to change my icons, battery, notification bar, ect.but I'm having a bit of trouble. All that really changes is the variety, font, and some colors of the notification bar.

This should be in themes and apps section, but anyways.
I am updating my CM7 theme and when I am finished I will post it in our themes section. I have used the UOT kitchen in the past but found there were things I could not do with it. So that is how I got into making themes. Flashable, MM, and Tmo theme engine are all pretty simple, just pick your poison.

Its just kinda weird that a systemUI.apk from Sense 3.0 will work even with those weird strings but a systemUI.apk from any of the current 2.1 roms on the forums won't even work.
What happens is if I grab the systemUI.apk from any of these 2.1 that has the quick settings with sliders and put it in my rom the status bar won't show up. Theres no force close...nothing.
