I'm really not a fan of the froyo/gingerbread 3D gallery, the effect is cool and all, but it's distracting and makes it annoying to use. On top of this, in CM7 the gallery seems to be giving me some battery drain due to the sensor usage for that 3D effect; yesterday the uptime for sensor usage on the gallery was 16 hours. Is there either a way to disable that 3D titling stuff, or a better replacement gallery? Now that I'm on CM7 the ONLY thing I miss about sense is the stock sense gallery, it was simple and streamlined. I don't suppose I could install the Sense gallery on my AOSP phone? Or some other gallery that isn't so flashy?
I use QuickPic & I completely removed Gallery 3D. You'll be surprised at how fast it is.
Perfect! Exactly what I needed. I will test drive it over the next few days, but already it's light years beyond that gallery3d application. Hopefully the various applications I use can recognize it as the gallery of choice with no problems, but I don't foresee any problems.
Thank you!!!
+1 on quickpic, only thing you cannot seem to set it as default for is if you are recording a video and then click the little thumbnail in the top right corner, works with camera though.
Eep... Just noticed that within Gallery3D also existed the picture frame widget, but I just downloaded from the market "Clickable Picture Frame" and it's higher quality than the stock android one. Also you can click on it to have it do something (open a contact, call a contact, text, email, etc). All is well in the evo universe today. I love this forum.
Quick pic is great...along with Hide It Pro LMFAO.

I recently switched to the Epic and love the device but the camera app on the epic is not very good. After you take a picture, there are no sliding animations, I really miss the auto rotate when you are viewing pictures using the camera app. Is there any way I can link the camera app to the gallery to view pictures, or is there another suggestion?
Thanks
Camera 360 is pretty cool
At this point I don't even care if it will play a slideshow. I just want it to scale properly to a 5x4 area and not have blurry pics.
Try "Photo Frame Deluxe" by Big Ideas Software. It's in the market.

Didn't show up when I searched. I'm pretty sure my protected apps are showing.
Launcher pro plus had a great picture frame widget!

Android Photo Widget
There is a free version and a paid for $2.
I just found it the other day. I think its fairly new.
Choice of various frames or no frame, sideshow from specific folders or all pics, choose how often to change pics.
It has a limited selection of widget sizes so its best paired with a launcher that resizes widgets like ADW EX or LP.
It does an excellent job rendering the pics. I think I'm going to go with the pro version.

I use "Big Photo Frame", works perfectly. Has the options for 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, and even if you use adw, you can still resize to your homescreens layout and it'll look proper.
hey all
i would just like to start a thread talking about the motion capabilities of our phone, commenting on them, and also thinking about new motion uses that may be able to be implemented into roms!
firstly, i love the motion features on the phone, i use the zooming very often in the gallery and browser. I never use the motion to switch icons from screen to screen, particularly because i only use 1 homescreen and i use ADW and i dont think it works with ADW.
one thing that bothers me is that the two finger motion zooming does not work when you are viewing images in the camera app, you HAVE to be in the gallery app. why when you click on the image icon in the camera app it brings you to a different viewer and not the gallery, is there anyway we can change this?
maybe it would be pretty cool to be able to switch pages in a program like Google Currents by quickly flicking the phone left or right from your wrist....any thoughts?
id like to see a feature like the incredible 2 has, that when your phone rings on a table, the volume of the ringer quiets as you lift it up. i would like this in addition to the flip mode, which is pretty friggin sweet too
what great ideas for motion features do all you have? and what do you think about the current useage of it?
Hey guys,
I have been searching the forums and found no answers on this topic. I wanted to know if there was a mod for enabling scrolling vertically (up and down) in the stock photo gallery app instead of horizontally (left to right). I really hate scrolling horizontally to find photos. I would much rather be able to scroll through photos up and down. If there is any possible mod or alternative app to accomplish this, please let me know!
thanks!
I'd be really interested in this too. I love the stock gallery and take a lot of Photo Spheres, but I really can't stand the horizontal scrolling!!! Its totally not intuitive.
I think QuickPic is great, but the lack of Photo Sphere integration is a bit of a let down.
I'm guessing as this post is two years old, there's no easy solution...

QuickPic and the Google one are pretty much your best bet (that I know of).
Anyone here use this? I try to snap a pic in landscape and it saves it sideways. I can always rotate it, but I shouldn't have to. Camera ICS saves them correctly.
Using Tiny's CM10.1 rom.
Does the same for me. Cant find any setting to change it. I dont actually use the app anymore, but bought it back at christmas time when they had the sales for 99 cents. Thought the effects were cool.
Just realized that it does work... The wrong way. I turned it volume buttons down and landscape worked the way it should. There doesn't seem to be a reverse landscape option though. I think I'm going to email them and ask about it.

I always hold mine that way to take pictures - and I use Camera Zoom FX a lot, I have no use for the effects but it's one of the few camera apps that handles display rotation correctly. The stock app is the worst, it rotates the whole display and with the glitchy preview it's a nightmare. Camera Zoom FX rotates the buttons and nothing else, much less stressful on my poor Dinc's GPU. It does only work in two positions though, but I never noticed that before and I take a lot of pictures (it's easier than writing stuff down - lol).

I do like the stock camera and the way it's integrated with the gallery, but it just sucks on the Dinc. CZFX is a really good alternative. Camera ICS is nice but I like the look and features of this one more. I emailed them on the 21st. Still haven't gotten a reply. Volume buttons down just feels upside-down to me. lol. Hopefully they'll implement a reverse landscape feature sometime. Until then, I can deal. Just made it my default cam and assigned it to the Search hardware button. I don't use it anyway, so it's nice to have a dedicated camera button. I use QuickPic as a gallery, so I deleted the Gallery2 apk. Freed up some system space. Default gallery seems to take forever to refresh after I move pics around with a file manager (even after hitting refresh).
