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
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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

indeed, they are the gingerbread version it looks like. nice find!

yeah give them a try, they look really good

it seems whatever CM7 version mods he has on his website are using the old update method, so wont work with CMR3. and pushing the framework-res.apk manually gives a boot loop, so hmm. ill have to contact him and see whats up...

You just have to use amend2edify I think that's what its called there is a script floating around that makes things work in 3.0

thanks for the tip. i also found out that the CM7 versions on his website arent for the DInc. the folders within the framework-res.apk all have "-v4" tacked on the end. example: they are named "drawable-res-v4" instead of what the DInc CM7 has "drawable-res." and you cant just rename it because then the XMLs wont link to the files properly. and i dont know how to compile those so, ill have to see what i can figure out... thanks tho.

When you did this, did the Skin even show up for you to choose when you restarted? Another person was telling me they had that problem.

I just tried this on my phone, it seems to work as well. I just extracted the images from the drawable.* folders and replaced the ones inside of the Blackboard.apk (Renaming it didnt show up. Had to leave it the same name. I'm not exactly sure how to sign a skin and edit the rigth xml files yet lol)
DL this file, use root explorer to place in /system/app and give same permission, restart and then select it. The preview still shows Blackboard, but the skin is WarmZ
I think that should do it. deleted it twice and set it back in the /system/app and it works. Hit the thanks if so

Yea. It's because the clock widget itself has been skinned. After skinning them to match everything else, it looses the flip animation

[Q] Will ViperPad App Work On NON-Viperroms?...

Hey XDA'ers,
Quick question, just wondering if anyone would know... I'm running Viperrom Synergy, and I wanna upgrade to EG22. But I LOVE my viper pad. It's an app in my app drawer... Think I can move the app to SD or computer hard drive and then move it back to the phone after upgrading to gingerbread?
Just curious to see if anyone's done it before...

Yes I've been running it on EH06 for the past week and its working like a charm =D
Im actually porting the themeing from VIPERrom SynErgY.... you should check it out

Just download Swipepad from the market. Its the identical same thing. And you'll receive updates now. That's wut I did when I lost my precious viperpad.
If u require viperpad for sum reason still just extract it from system/apps in viperrom and paste it into system/apps on ur new rom and restart.
