Yep, that's it!
I actually prefer the ICS gallery as it utilizes the screen real estate much better. With it you can see almost 12 larger pictures as opposed to 9 smaller ones on the 3D gallery. Plus it doesn't get all wonky if you don't hold the phone straight. Oh yeah, you also lose the pictures editing option with the 3D gallery.

Hated the old Gallery...I welcome the new one!

It is still in aosp if anyone wants me to build it.
Edit: I lied. Its a different one.

But some people (like me) don't edit our pictures! Plus if we do, we can always go back to the old gallery! I like options! That's why I have an Android phone

I like this app. Ist simple, fast and clear! Takes a Moment to load the Thumbs, bat after that, i love it. Not that overloaded like Gallery 3D.

Put it on ....not bad ... it is fast ... installed on my sd card as well ... so fine ... it's nice to see all the pics at once and not get sea sick !!
Not impressed. I got 324 hi quality backgrounds. It caches the folder but re caches them again when I scroll far down or up. Gallery3d caches it and keeps it. Much better.

Picture orientation = FAIL

* Temporary fix, use the vignette camera application *
I love the SGS2 but it sucks extremely that you are pretty much forced to take pictures in landscape mode as any pictures taken in portrait mode are send upside down in landscape... This appears to be a Samsung issue with most devices.
Does this bug anyone else but me? Me having a major OCD for this.. makes me miss my old EVO 4G
Any fix to this other than having to try and edit the pictures or taking pictures in landscape.
Here is a link to further describe the issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ure-always-returns-1-for-exifinterface-tag-or
EDIT: For anyone who wants to attempt and fix this.. Found this old thread form 2010. They used a custom patch/fix to save the correct orientation.

You can't do that when it only rotates the pictures when you try to send them via MMS.

Yeah I noticed this on my samsung captivate and thought oh well It is maybe a software issue. I flashed CM7 and CM9 to my epic touch just now to test out if it was the way software is coded but no... Same results. Must be the way hardware is setup.
have the same issue. my girlfriend and i both have the epic touch, and the mms pics are never sent in a straight orientation. therefore, we just use dropbox.
Is this actually unique to our phone? I'd be surprised if so. See, most phones and cameras handle rotation not by actually taking the photo in portrait, but via EXIF metadata that notes the orientation in which the photo's supposed to be displayed. I'm guessing the MMS software is merely ignoring this EXIF data. The photos display fine in everything else that supports it, but the MMS app doesn't. If that's the case, I would assume this is more common than on merely our phone.
That said, I rarely if ever use MMS anyway. If I can email the photo at a much higher quality, I normally prefer to do so.
If anyone is a dev that happens to read this... In an older samsung model they fixed this annoying bug with a custom package. I'll attach them to the OP in case anyone wants to try and compared the fixes to try making us one.

Neither have I that I know of. I just tried it to make sure I was not just over looking the issue.
Either orientation saves the way I took the pic, and sends that way as well using GOSMS.
I think when I send a portrait picture with the stock messaging app its fine but when you use handcent it turns it sideways.

That's odd, trying emailing yourself the picture. I encounter this issue while using a skype sharing conference with ex co workers. I also have it when trying to send pictures via MMS. I even encounter it when sharing pictures on simple chatting applications. I'm convinced it's a samsung issue that they choose to over look lol =(
Using Vignette camera application... I'm able to successfully share pictures I take in portrait position with it! I thought I'd let others know. =)

Thats exactly what happens to me. It seems Samsung has a weird way of determining orientation and their messaging app is built to send them correctly. However sending thru third party apps, uploading to fb, or even xda app you get them sideways. This is very annoying and stupid and is a Samsung problem on all their phones.

Why wouldn't you take a pic in landscape? It has only been since the iPhone era that people have really started taking photos and videos vertically, and personally, I can't stand it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I usually always take pictures in landscape now just because I don't want my friends to have to keep turning their phone to view it. If I take a picture of someones face then I might take a portrait picture. I emailed Handcent about the issue a few times but they never replied back.

Rotate it once the wrong way, then rotate it back, and it will save as the correct orientation when you go to send the MMS.
Annoying, but not the end of the world.

Premium Suite Upgrade!

Yay multiwindow.

Contextual Awareness
(1) Page Buddy: Your phone will smartly predict what you intend to do according to your actions. For example, when you plug in your earphones, the device automatically opens up a page with the music player.
(2) Contextual Menu: When you list up apps, you can now choose to see the most frequently used ones first. Especially convenient when you’re looking through apps to find files to attach.
(3) Contextual Tag: When you take a picture on the phone, you can tag the weather, date, and place immediately.
*Enhanced Features*
(1) Multi Window: You can open two different apps at the same time into two different windows on the mobile screen.
(2) Auto Share Shot Pairing using NFC: By setting the camera to ‘Auto Share Shot’ mode, you can quickly share your photos and videos by simply tapping their GALAXY S III with other NFC and S-Beam enabled devices
(3) Reader Mode: You can easily control the size of the text on your browser! Also, you can just click the webpage to share it!
(4) Facebook Lock Ticker: The easiest way to see your Facebook News Feeds – set your phone to show it on your lock screen.
How do these new features sound? Exciting? But wait, we still got more so come back soon for part 2!

Before everyone points it out we've had "reader" since ICS... not sure why it's called a new feature.

Considering most of these Note II features are not even available on the T-Mobile Note II, I'm not hopeful about the prospects of Tmo ever pushing this out.

MULTIMEDIA
Paper Artist: You can make a picture like a pop artist. Change the moods of your pictures whenever you want.
Low Light Shot: It’s always tough to take pictures in dark places. So the Galaxy S III with Premium Suite has a Low-Light-Shot function.*Get your hands on one and check out the difference!
Best Face: The problem with group pictures? Somebody always, ALWAYS blinks. Well, Best Face is your solution to that. Best Face takes 5 consecutive pictures and lets you choose the best face for each person among those shots.
NEW FEATURES AND BETTER ACCESSIBILITY
Easy Mode: For first-time smartphone users and/or those who are really really, well, lazy. This function helps you set up the most five frequently used widgets on the home screen, so you don’t have to be tired of looking everywhere to find those apps.
Sound Balance: You can adjust the balance of volume one each side of earphones.
Setup Wizard: After turning on your cell phone, you can see the accessibility menu right away on the screen.
Easy Snap: With ‘talk back’ and ‘face detection’ on your settings menu, the Galaxy S III tells you how many faces it can detect on the camera preview.
Multi window, awesome

How do I get my old camera back?

I recently upgraded to 4.2.1(ParanoidAndroid 2.9.9) and the new camera(which I assume is the standard Google 4.2 camera) is very basic, and very weak compared to what I had. The old camera(which was also Google stock) had a lot of filters built in, and some hilarious distortions such as "Big Eyes" and "Big Head". My kids LOVE those. They are now gone, as is most of the awesome functionality I had. In it's place is Photo Spheres which I personally consider useless. Is there a way to get my old camera back? I don't want to be stuck on 4.1.1 forever but I hate this new camera!

You can install camera ICS from the market. The layout isn't exactly the same ( I assume it's mimicking the ICS camera layout) but it will give you back the filters, funny faces. And yes I wondered the same thing why did google remove them. Kids get tonnes of laughs out of those. I'd love to know how those decisions are made... 'Hey you know those features we've had in the wild for over a year? Yeah let's remove them'
my exact thoughts also, when i had the 16gb nexxy i updated and was VERY annoyed to find the effects deleted, so much it was one of the "cons" that pushed me into refunding for a non-updated 32gb version
im still 4.1 now lol i seriously dont understand why google would :
A: release nexus 7 without a camera app.....(yea i do know why but lame excuse)
B: when you update to 4.2 it deletes any camera app and replaces it with dah dah duh daaaaa a broken one with non-working photosphere.....wtf?
sooooooo mmmmm yeah ill remember this thread when i come to updating

First of all, the app doesn't know which way your camera is facing, nor does it care. Second, I didn't even try it on my Nexus 7, I tried it multiple times on my Galaxy Nexus. Still broken. Never got a decent result. You may say it's operator error, but that's a ridiculous statement as well because it's pretty self explanatory.

ok so look basically it would be very stupid putting diesel into a petrol as it wouldn't work......
acer made it to remove any cam app we had previously then installed a app exactly the same but without the working effects, .... only 1 broken one..photosphere,
saying that its supposed to only work with a front face cam....well then why go to the trouble of jacking our old app and putting one with a feature we cant use......? :good:
Just saying, the app does know which way the camera faces... I assume something in the data for the camera tells the app its front facing. This is probably useful for apps such as Skype too.
When you try photo sphere, it says sorry not supported with front camera.

the strange thing is, you would think panoramic shot wouldnt work, yet in the cam effects pre-4.2 you can use panoramic efect albeit frontcam only, it did work thou.
i think photsphere from front cam, while your in the middle of the shot with the world spinning around you would be a great effect anyways.

[REQ]Landscape Bootanimations

Is it possible to have a landscape bootanimation that is sized correctly?
I always use my tablet in landscape mode, I have the rotation lock on. So a custom landscape boot would be awesome.
Possible?
Possible? yes, but in my experience it was never smooth, unless it was a static image. The image has to cover the entire screen(1920x1200) otherwise it will stretch to portrait itself and look ugly. Imagine images with a size of 1920x1200 moving at 24 frames per second and you get an idea of how sloppy will move. But a static one or really simple one I guess it could do the job. Gonna try that one tomorrow.

Awesome. :thumbup:
Here you go:
View attachment bootanimation.zip
The image is rotated the original landscape intended mode(nexus logo), camera on your left hand and the micro usb on your right. I don't know if you have noticed but every boot animation when it's about to show the lockscreen, they sightly move if you are holding the nexus landscape or have the rotation to landscape mode lock. That can/will happen to this one as well, the image may be landscape but the booanimations for the Nexus 7 were intended for a portrait mode, anyway, it looks great, I think I may do an AOKP one in landscape.
Looks really good. Now I just need a landscape splash screen and my tablet will be complete. :thumbup:
