Sick of Gallery - replacement? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm pretty sick of the Android/Cooliris Gallery app. It's just a pain to use, and forcecloses more than is acceptable. Can anyone suggest how to install another one, maybe HTC, Motorola or Samsungs version? I didn't mind the HTC gallery when I used a Sense rom, but I've not tried Moto or Sammy.
Where would I find such a thing, and would it install just like any other apk?

Try quickpic from the market. It fast, simple and if I remember correctly free.

Just downloaded Quickpic, and I'm likin it a lot - thanks for the suggestion

You can use system app remover and remove it from the rom. After you've done that you can use the alternate gallery app that comes on the phone ir find a replacement online, but the tom should come with two gallery apps if im not mistaken.

I've just used Titanium to uninstall the standard 3D gallery, and as above, currently enjoying the speed/simplicity of Quickpic

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

Android Stock Gallery

Hi guys,
Well i was on my mates nexus 1 the other day and i went into his gallery section and found it was different to htc layout, i dont know if all of you have played around with the gallery on nexus but its pretty neat! nice 3d layout, pinch to expand tiles or hold on tiles, i liked the whole setup.
Anyway i was wondering is there any way i could get this gallery instead of htcs' own ui one, not that the htc oneis bad, just like the nexus one better.
Anyway im on a debranded htc desire 2.2.
Thanks.

what a great find indeed, it removes the problem for blurred images when opening in the original gallery.
thanks for posting.
I used that for a while, but even when using the 3d gallery with the "fix" I found that the default gallery show pictures at a better quality.
cooool
first time i see my desire struggling to process
If only there was a car dock apk file to install to the desire.

Gallery replacement apps?

The gallery app on my g2 tends to be stupid when it comes to seeing when new files have been added to the sd card from somewhere other than the camera app. Any better alternativs?

I would looking because I hate the stock gallery. I use b&b gallery from the market. It's not the prettiest and looks like the g1 stock gallery. But it works great, is quick and what I was looking for. No glitches and I can see all my pics! Hope that helps you.

Yeah I realized that later. I only had the stock rom for 2 hours when a bought the phone. :/
The only time my gallery acts up loading new pics is when I reboot my G2, but I expect that

It's cool because you can view your photobucket, flickr, picasa, facebook, and local galleries from the same app. (if you use all those services)!
Couldn't find b&b gallery..Just pictures is a good app tho..Reads my pics from my sd unlike the stock gallery 3d. Was having a bunch of trouble with the stock app..Thanks a lot

I need the stock gallery too. I didn't realise that I cannot use quickpic to assign pictures to my lockscreen and now I can only use the default wallpapers.
I made a backup using titanium before I deleted it but for some reason the stock gallery won't restore from the backup.
can anyone send to me as well? I also uninstalled the stock gallery app. Many thanks.
To all. To be honest... downloading quickpic from the market is better than stock gallery . Have a look
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
Like some said, you need it for wallpaper settings. Some options are gone when you uninstall the gallery app.

Have you tried setting your lock screen picture without the stock gallery installed? That's where I ran into trouble. Re-installing the stock app fixed mine.
The problem is in Lock screen wallpaper
You can't change it if u don't have stock app...
P.S Thank You for the link !
Yes, I have too managed to uninstall the stock gallery app, please can someone pm it. TIA
The 3D Gallery app is quite funky, I just need to change my lock screen image.

[APK] New Camera & Gallery with Photosphere 100% Working, NO ROOT REQUIRED

Yesterday where leaked details of a new camera application in the HTC One and Galaxy S4 Google Play Editions, which added new features and some small change in its interface. And as expected, hours later, we can download and install the same version on any Android device.
To install the new gallery and camera, all you have to do is follow the next steps:
Go to Settings > Security and activate the checkbox "Unkonw Sources"
Download the APK file
With a file explorer (IE: ES Explorer or Astro), find the file on your SD and just pick the file and install the new Gallery (New camera included with the gallery)
Enjoy the Google Experience camera and gallery on your HTC One or in almost any device
If you have a Nexus or stock Android Experience device, this app will replace the current camera and gallery. If you have a Sense or other kind of Android, you will notice 2 new apps in the app drawer called: Camera and Gallery which belong to the new gallery and camera (no sh*t Sherlock ).
So far this has been tested on an HTC One, an Oppo Find 5 and in an Xperia Z and it's working in all of them with no issues so it will probably work in the rest of Android devices. Also, Photosphere and Panoramic options seems to be working to in all the Android devices with no need of ROOT or anything so, go ahead and try this new camera and gallery.
Source: El Androide Libre
PS: I've tried the APK myself and it's working like a charm. I can take photopsheres and no issues so far.
Link 1:
Download APK here (Google Docs)
Link 2:
Download APK here (Dropbox)
REQUIREMENT
The app requires that your phone has a gyro sensor (different from accelerometer sensor). Ensure you have this first before installing this app. You can check the "sensors" section of your phone on GSMArena if you don't know if your device has it.​
I must be dreaming, wow great job to all involved ripping through this stuff and releasing things only hours after the darn thing came out!

Photosphere just fails and goes back to the Gallery running CM 10.1
Installed and it works, however I end up with yellow lines over my images (just with this new camera, the stock one works fine).

Not sure if you noticed the "Source: El Androide Libre"... I don't know who leaked the apk but the source was from "El Androide Libre" website.
So I've give the proper credits, I never said that I released the APK, I only translated the information from the other site and included my own dropbox link just in case.
