Picasa sync alternative - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys, I heavily use the picasa sync feature of the stock gallery, I have about 5-6 albums there plus instant upload. I like to have all these folders synced in the stock gallery, which is y google photo sync is pretty important for me. But what pisses me off pretty bad is then I cant use the awesome camera features of cna/aokp/cm etc(I use camera zoom instead). I have tried searching for a suitable gallery replacement app on the market with native picasa sync but to no avail. Fish bowl seems quite nice but no picasa sync.I know, I might me missing something here....but any ideas? I really want to use all the camera features!!!!

Personally, I use Perfect Tool for Picasa, which has a gallery and lets you edit/share albums. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=larry.zou.colorfullife&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImxhcnJ5LnpvdS5jb2xvcmZ1bGxpZmUiXQ..
Also, Cool 3D Gallery should do the trick.

Ummmm.... I don't like perfect tool so much. Gallery3d looked like it would do the trick but when I try to install it ,says app cannot be found. Can someone please post the apk?

no 3d gallery in froyo?

why wasnt it included? this gallery is way cooler than stock android or htc sense gallery
probably not the right place to ask, but I noticed that in 3d gallery you cannot share a photo through MMS, while in the regular Desire gallery you can. In 3d gallery, the share menu does not have as an option share through messaging. Is this true or is there something wrong with mine?
thanks!

its because if htc includes it , its highly likely that it will work better , less buggy, and more responsive, can u post the file youre using?
its because the 3D Gallery is a nexus one app, not a htc app lol here is the apk you can install it normally, also this is the version called Gallery 3D not just gallery so it dosent clash with the native htc gallery app

From What I Understand Its A Photosharing Application It Has Numerous Filters It's A Pretty Neat Little App It's Supposed To Come To Android But.. As Always Taking Forever.
Hipster is similar, although not as good as instagram.

Lightbox, comes with its own camera app too.
Streamzoo
Streamzoo is a great one.
instagram is cool!! hope it comes out soon for us!
I use Flickr. Been using it for a long time. The official app is great too, comes with many filters.
In my opinion, 'Magic Hour' beats out Hipstamatic/Instagram. You can make your own custom filters, but the best part is that it comes with a 'filter market'. Other users upload their custom filters and you can download them, all for free. It's amazing.

If you do a little research on google... the android instagram app is currently in development, and has been for a few months. Dont know what takes so long...

Not To Sound Like An Ass:
But I Did Look Around And I Also Stated That It's Supposed To Come Out For Android In Post Number 3
From what I understand, Instagram is actually the combination of an app providing photo filters like lomography cameras, AND a "kind of" social / sharing network to post and share his pictures.
I guess if you're interested in sharing picture, flickr or picasa can do the job, while for photo effects you can use many apps like paper camera, fx camera and nulmerous others...

[Q] Photo Sphere Panning On PC

I love the new photo sphere effect that comes with 4.2.
However, when you look at it on your pc it is just a panoramic jpg.
I have heard that you can upload it to Google+ and see the effect there.
Is there any offline PC application that you can use to view the panning effect?
You can get the 3d effect on Google + using Chrome browser on your cell phone.

Thanks for replying.
The problem isn't seeing it on my phone.
I can see it just fine in the Gallery.
The question is how do I see the same effect after I have taken it off my phone and onto my PC?
AFAIK you can only see it in the gallery, google plus, and Google maps. but i haven't really looked into any other method of viewing them.

Alternative to Google Photos?

Not a big fan of Google photos app. And I really miss the old AOSP gallery app. Seen a few apks on XDA, but none seem to have a functional photo editor. Anybody else in the same boat? Would love to hear some ideas.
I've been trying Piktures. Pretty nice so far. Has an combined photo mode for people who like that all in one photo gallery like iPhones, and can also swipe to get to individual folders like all other androids. Also has a hidden photo feature for those who need to creep, lol.
I'm not sure what you're looking for when you say a functional photo editor, but I use Focus as an alternative to photos.

What I meant is that there are some apks floating around XDA for AOSP gallery app (on older Android versions) and when you try and edit a photo with it, the app crashes. I'll check out your suggestion
Following. I hate the Photos app. I use Dropbox and have my camera uploads go there. I don't need cloud storage, and the interface is poor imo. I use Snapseed to edit photos right now, but would like a gallery app that has simple functions (crop, basic color and brightness changes, etc.).

Old cm gallery apk I've been using for years, has always worked fine.

I also used to use Piktures and liked it a lot. I've recently grown to like using the Photos app though...

I keep wanting to like it, but it's just so busy looking. I wish there were a more simplified version.
I've always been a fan of Motorola gallery. I usually just save an apk in my Google drive and install it when I root/get a new phone. Only crappy Part is after you take a picture and click the thumbnail while still in the camera app, it default opens in Google photos.

I keep trying gallery apps here and there but I still revert back to good old QuickPic v4.5.2.2 (the version before it was sold to Cheetah)

I love the Photos app. The built in editor is pretty good and you can't beat the unlimited cloud storage. With that said, my second fave gallery app is QuickPic.
Google Photos has been my go to for a long time and does well everything I need.
Only thing I don't like about Photos is easily organising the photos. I have say my "Instagram" (device folder), backup to Photos. However then I have to create an album called "Instagram" and sort through the huge list of pictures to move them to their respective folders.

Simple Gallery
ez pz lemon squeezy. No ads & lots of customization, active developers...
I hate the new Google photos app too, and don't like the sync. I signed out of the app in the settings and it's just like the old gallery
Cmgallery 1.1

Google Photo Help?

So I have tried to find the answer with no luck. How do I switch my text app, Facebook, Instagram apps to use Google photos as the default instead of Samsung photo app?
It will use both, just add a shortcut to Google Photos on your homescreen where Samsung Gallery was and use that instead
That definitely didn't solve the problem. It's just using the Samsung photo gallery, and doesn't even give me the option to make Google photos as my default.

Try setting google photos as default app for photos will do.

I am having the same issue. There's no way to change the stock Gallery app to google photos. When I had my pixel, my apps would source directly from Google Photos, and I guess I was spoiled. Even if a photo wasn't downloaded and I selected it to send, it would forward it after it downloaded.
It's a pretty dumb situation honestly with this phone. Your text app you can use the Google photo app, but anything else like , IG or Facebook you have to go into Google photos app and download it to the phone so the picture you want to post goes into the stupid Samsung gallery. I bought the app that someone had suggested to disable the Samsung gallery app and it didn't work. Also when you disable the app, it effects other apps on the phone, so you are pretty much screwed. Besides the fingerprint scanner, I think this whole, not being able to just use the Google photo app as default for everything is the next biggest ****ty thing about this phone. I still love the phone, but you pay the big bucks and you still have to deal with issues like this, when phones half the price offer these two things better. Oh well I guess?
