[Q] Stock Gallery Quality issues? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hiya all, just got my brand new Note 2 today, and I went to go read some pictures that contain a lot of text in them. When I zoom in, the text quality is immediately hindered, as though if it were a thumbnail and I zoomed in on it. I downloaded Quickpic fron the market and opened the same images, but they are perfectly fine. What gives? Ill upload screen shots in a second.

Forgot to mention that I am unrooted. Also I normally use quickpic, except that recently its been having issues selecting itself as the default app. Across 3 seperate devices, on 3 different versions of android, the apps permissions never stick. So id rather just use stock.
As you can see from the pictures attached, the stock gallery app has issues. Its the same image, which was an original screenshot from a computer. I took a screenshot on my note both in full frame and zoomed in. Is there a fix? Never noticed this issue until I was forced to go back to stock gallery.

They are the same for me. I run both apps. No distortion in stock gallery app.

Are you rooted? I notice that on XDA premium when I click images that it produces the same effect, but when I view the same thread in the browser it looks fine. I wonder if its and issue with not being able to load certain sizes of images? Like it can only dedicate so much memory to any picture at any given time? I dont know.

[Q] Hulu Application

I don't know if anyone is working on that Hulu app but it kinda really sucks that it can't zoom automatically. So I made a Hulu application but with zoom functionality and a sort of lights out functionality.
any suggestions as to other things I can add to it?
EDIT: It is not finished, but some asked to see it so you can install it and try it out. It has some bugs atm but if you want to see where I am kind of going with it push it to your phone. Also note that this has the same limitations as the other Hulu application you need to have that custom edited flash install.
Start a video, then press the menu button and hit the Zoom button.
You'll probably notice that the background looks strange I was in the process of restyling it.
NOTE You need the modified flash file, you can get it from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752582

Contains a modified flash file. So uninstall your flash, and then install that one.
problem i'm getting with hulu and other flash stuff is the sound is slowed way down
There's a fix for that. Look in themes and apps for stagefright fix. I let it play like that to scare the **** out of my son with my demon phone lol.

This app does not seem to work as good as the other one floating around. The video seems to stutter and stop a lot and I get the "the video is not optimized for mobile" which I dont get any of that on the other version. Also the video, when zoomed to fit the screen, is jerky where with the other app, its is 100% smooth.... Also at one point, the video pixelated and then the program shut off and i was back at the sense screen.....
as far as Zoom, on the other APP, I just use the pinch zoom and get it to fit the EVO screen as best I can...

Bonsai v4.0.1 and the Modded Gallery..

Hey everyone.. I've done a little digging and I can't seem to find a solution. I am currently running Bonsai 4.0.1 and love it.. but I noticed that their modified version of the gallery doesn't allow me to set my own photos as scrollable wallpapers. Static single panel only. I tried pulling the Gallery apks from Syndicate and Midnight.. but they both have the Gallery Sensor bug. I can live with just rebooting my phone whenever I change wallpapers, just curious as to the existence of a Modded Gallery 3D apk that doesn't drain my battery and can set scrollable wallpapers. Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

I have Bonsai 4.0.1 and the modded Gallery and mine scrolls just fine. Never tried a photo but am using a jpg of a Thor movie poster that scrolls. I made sure I cropped it in landscape size. Have you tried quickpic? Maybe it is the order of how I did it. I long press on a blank homescreen or blank area, pick wallpaper, then the Gallery comes up to pick the picture. Crop what you want and set it.

Hmm.. I just flashed in the original gallery apk from bonsai 4.0.1 and cropped my photo in landscape and now it scrolls, but with black bars above and below the image. When I use the Gallery from SRF or Midnight I can crop in either portrait or landscape and wont get the bars..

That is strange. I don't get any bars. I had to actually add some black edges to my Thor background so it is visible above the launcher icons.
I can't imagine that they would have packaged to different galleries between the time you flashed it and when I did.. would they?

I doubt it, although I did had an issue where Gallery icon was labeled "false". I had to remove it with sdx app removal tool, download Gallery 3D from the market, then replace that one with root explorer with the apk pulled out of 4.0.1 install. Don't know if that changed the way mine handles pix and wallpaper or not.
I've never had any problems using the included 3D Gallery in Bonsai to set scroll-able wallpapers. I just tried it again to make sure and it still works, although I normally use Quickpic as my go-to Gallery app.

Same with Midnight which uses Bonsai as its base. I use QuickPic and erase Gallery with Root Explorer. Works perfect

Sounds like something flashed incorrectly or got funky during the download. At anyrate, I've used Quickpic and Just Pictures before. Suppose Ill just go back to using those. Thanks a bunch for all of your input.

No you'll have duplicates. I have CM 10.1 and I deleted the CM gallery.
I just flashed this and now neither of my cameras or gallery's will connect. Is there a way to uninstall it?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yea... I tried it on TW and now it says can't connect to camera.. I backed up before so no biggy.
Sent from my Galaxy s3
from what ive searched and found around the xda site is, you need to tap the screen to focus every time before you take a picture or you will get camera lock ups and can not connect to camera. if you have gotten that message, just reboot your phone and remember to tap the screen before every picture taken.
The back camera works fine. I have to do the whole tapping the screen to focus before taking the picture thing, but thats not much of a problem. But if I take a picture with the front facing camera, it reboots my phone and obviously does not save the picture. Anyone know a way to solve this?
(I'm running 4.2.2 Illusion ROM for SGS3)
Install omega rom. Indie has modded them and photo sphere is working without any problems. You dont even neet to tap to focus before each photo. When you install omega be sure to select the 4.3 camera option in aroma installer

4.2 camera pics won't save to gallery.

I've flashed the newest aosp camera with photo sphere and everything works except nothing is getting saved. After I take the picture or shoots to the right like normal but doesn't actually save.
I've tried deleting the Samsung camera n gallery plus each one individually but to no avail.
So after numerous Google searches and trying different searches on here I figured I'd just drop a line n hope for sone help. Using stock rooted odexed mc2.

Google camera lens blur?

I just updated to Kitkat and installed the Google Camera from the Play Store. Loaded it up to try Lens Blur and noticed it doesn't do anything. It takes the picture and processes fine but then the button to change the focus is missing. Just share, edit and delete. Has anyone else had this problem?

The option to edit the blur effect is in the Google Photos app

Thanks for the reply. Weirdly that option doesn't seem to be there. I can't figure it out. Works fine in the nexus tablet. It looks like it stops processing around a third of the way through and then goes to the photos app.
