Thought I would start a thread here instead of littering the development threads. I always delete the stock gallery app in favor of quick pic. It's not perfect either, but it's functionality exceeds googles gallery and then some.
Here is the issue. Prior to Jelly Bean deleting the gallery had no effect on the camera. However now deleting the gallery also deletes the camera. I have tried installing the camera app from CM9, as it is separate, but it still won't work. Camera apps from the market seen substandard, and I'm not looking to spend $ on an app that isn't great.
Does anyone have a solution to this? I guess I could just leave the gallery installed and set quick pic as default.

There you have it.
I hate the stock gallery app as well, but it seems Google fused it together with the camera. Think of it as the Google+ and its Messenger app.
No harm in leaving the Gallery be.

Maybe you can freeze the Gallery app with Titanium Backup? But I don't know if this will have the same effect like deleting it. Just an idea...

gallery combained with camera gives speed at launch, plus i love quick pic too but i find so much slow latest so i stick with stock ones as i prefere now most!
I tried quick pic for a while but I just couldn't take the "loading" between each pic when viewing them.

I wish the Gallery app on the Nexus 7 showed the photo description or caption or whatever Picasa calls them. No point in adding them if they don't surface on the photo. Yeah you can dig into the menu and see them but that's not good enough.
Going to look for better app but it has to pull images off Picasa web/Google plus. Suggestions welcome.

I use justpictures most of the time. Speedy gallery IMO. Not sure if thats what you are looking for though.

Thanks I'll try it out.

As far as I can tell justpics can only pull pics off picasa that have been uploaded via picasa. My pics going to Google plus do not show up unless in same account.
I too am looking for a good solution to house my pics someplace and have a good view to see them an the ability to upload them easily from phone. Seems the best thing so far is paying 2.99 a month for a high capacity photobucket account. Free would be ideal

I am getting so frustrated with the stock gallery. I actually installed the 4.2 gallery so I can change my stupid wallpaper. I deleted the gallery cache and everything I try won't fix this junk. Deleting the cache for the gallery used to work but now it still acts real slow after. Does the gallery act up on custom roms also for anyone? If not I might get off of stock rooted and actually install a custom rom.
I have never had gallery problems at all. Ive set all my wallpapers with it. I also have over 700 pics and videos and it wont lag at all even with airview enabled.
Whats your problem specifically ? You just cant set wallpapers?

I get major lag (like the gallery takes up to a minute to generate my pictures) when I try to set a wallpaper from settings - Display - Wallpaper or when I open my sms app and try to attach a picture from there.
I never have lag if I go straight into my gallery. I can set wallpapers and share via sms from the gallery without lag.
QuickPic, ftw. Have not used stock gallery for more than 5 minutes total since purchase of Note2.
Slow to load, can't hide folders...
The sidebar feature is nice, but not worth it.

This is probably happening because you have you google pic syncing and Dropbox and Facebook if you stop your gallery from syncing youll be good to go

Thank you for the advice. I just turned all the syncing off and my gallery still runs real slow.
It's never going to get faster.. It's garbage. Get quickpic and be done with it.

Works fine for me.stock rooted
Whenever I try to attach a picture the gallery comes up blank intermittently. At times it takes forever for the gallery too load

Did you clear data after you stopped sync? I'm sure you did just checking

Can anyone recommend a gallery app that isn't QuickPic? I like it, but I can't share photos via mms using the stock messaging app. The developer attributed it to HTC "not allowing it anymore."
Sent from my HTC One
I just tried to share a picture from solid explorer, and the stock messenger app isn't an option.
From this I presume that no other photo galleries or third party apps will work either. (Sharing other content to the messenger app works, just not pictures)
I use JustPictures! (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.justpictures). It can access my PicasaWeb and SmugMug photos as well as what is on the phone.

None of the alternate photo apps allow sharing/sending via MMS and its REALLY annoying. Wish I had a better answer! Bothers me greatly too! (stock gallery app sucks imo)
Personally I think the stock gallery app is the best of any of the phones I've had in the last year. That doesn't mean I like it all that much. Quickpic was my go to over stock Google, which completely sucks, but I'm in the same boat as the rest of you with the One. Sorry no help, just joining the rant.

Sorry if this had been asked, I'm running omega ver 7 on my T mobile s4, everything works flawlessly except camera. It takes photos well, and i preview them and they look fine. But when I share them in Facebook, messages, Google drive, or anywhere else the image quality gets much worse, and even blurry, it's almost like it coverts it to a lower megapixel photo. Anyone had this happened? Any suggestions?

I am running omega7 on m919 with no issues on camera what so ever. sharing pic on facebook, mms, google drive, dropbox, etc, etc. did you change any settings? what's your setup? what kernel you running?
I did not mess with the settings, running kt kernel. Did you try pinching to zoom after sharing the photo? Sometimes is not as noticeable until you zoom in.

Facebook and others compress their photos. They will always be blurry when zoomed in

messages will get compressed and idk about google drive...
pictures that i want clear on facebook get resized first on photoshop and then i click on "high quality" in the fb options.
for messaging, if i need the picture clear i just use dropbox and send them the link to the original image.
dropbox > google drive...just saying
Ever thought about actually posting this in the omega thread?

The last time I flashed omega rom the hotspot wasn't working ... did you guys had the same issue? ....

I am stock, no root or anything. Whenever I open my gallery from another asp to upload a picture, for example from Facebook I upload a picture from my gallery, my gallery is blank. But when I go to my gallery everything is there. It's happening on every app. I did an Odin back to stock so everything should be like new.
Also somewhat unrelated, they seem to sometimes become unsynced automatically sometimes.
