Is there anything better then the default galler in SGS?
I'm looking for the best application to view my images.
JustPictures is very good. In the settings you can get it to show the images at their full resolution and quality, something the default app can't do.

Nice app!. I don't think it can't replace gallery3d as it's more complex and probably less user friendly, but is good to have it as a complement

Gallery3D doesn't work on froyo 2.2.
I am using the one that the SGS Tools provide under Upgrade stock apps.
I believe it comes from the HTC Desire in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752007
there is currently a problem with thumbnails not showing in the correct aspect ratio. Hopefully it will be solved soon.

That's because you're trying to replace a system app -
Also on its market page, it says 2.1+ not only 2.1

I've removed the system app with titanium backup.
i've installed the app from the market.
It seems exactly the same as I had with my SGS when I bought it.
The only difference is that the animations are smoother/slower.
Also, I didn't understand if this app is the same from the link above (XDA forum).
Can it view large images? Why does it take forever to render images from picasa when I use fast wifi connection? <- same behaviour as the original app
The best is Picture viewer free in market
Gallery3d apk
Though I don't use Gallery anymore, here is the link. I now use JustPictures.

?? The gallery app of froyo on samsung roms is Gallery3D...
By the way is there a way to restrict the folders that will show pics on justpictures. It shows a lot of icons or album covers and I dont really need it (I know I can do it with .nomedia but that's really tedious...)

So, the problem u r having is that JP is showing even the album cover thumbnails. Is that right?
Go to Add Account->Local->Root path
Type the desired media folder you want to b displayed. Don't put in the folder containing album cover. Now when this is done u can delete the original Local folder.
Hope it solves ur problem.

Or just hold your finger on the folder until a menu comes up. You can set it to ignore the folder, when it lets you edit the path you can set it to ignore your whole music folder
Picture Folder
i like Picture Folder (free on market), just hoping that developer adds option to change wallpaper (without default gallery installed)
haven't tried JustPictures though...
floating Image is great
JP has an annoying bug
Take a photo in portrait mode.
Enable zoom at original resolution.
Zoom into the portrait photo and it starts changing orientation.
picture folder for me... you can specific what folder you want to show..
Well, this is embarrassing.
Something I just found interesting about (what I assume is) a TW limitation?
When I want to take a picture to attach to an SMS, or attach an old picture to an SMS, I seem to only have the choices of the stock cam and stock gallery apps.
I thought that perhaps I had inadvertently set a default in the first day of ownership (although I don't remember doing so, and I am fastidious about these things), but there were no defaults to clear, either in the MSGing app, or the cam app.
While I find being forced to use the stock gallery for attachment annoying (I like QuickPic far better, for several reasons), not the end of the world.
But I use Vignette almost exclusively for taking pics, and having to close txt app > open vignette > take pic > close vignette > (wait for pic to process) > open txting > attach pic... P.I.T.A.
Am I missing something obvious? It's been quite some time since I used TW stock for any period of time. (On my E4GT I used anything but TW for the last 6 months of ownership...) But even then I still seem to remember TW offering me a choice of installed cams for attachments. Is this a Note II "thing"? Or something in the newer iterations of TW?
Thanks for reading, comrades-in-nerdiness.
Clear defaults in the gallery app?

There are no defaults to clear in the cam, gallery or messenger. I am literally forced to use the stock cam in attaching a pic to a msg.
Can someone confirm that this is the case on stock for them as well?
Or perhaps confirm that on a different rom its Not the case?
(fu*king spam, thanks for the bump)

I downloaded the quick pic and I get no option to use it when picking a picture from the messaging app. Maybe contact the developer about it.
Edit: actually it might be how the phone software is meant to handle attachments. I installed another gallery app and it doesn't show up either.

thanks, if you're on stock, than I consider the issue confirmed. for stock at least. with gallery.
anyone on any other ROMs can confirm?
(I already assume that anything AOSP does not have the issue, but I am wondering if any TW base ROMs have tweaked something that would allow for other apps to be used as either defaults.)
I've only had the option to use stock camera/gallery on TW.

When choosing to add an attachment if you choose take picture it defaults to the stock camera. But when u chose to attach an image and click on the stock images symbol you get options to choose from different apps. And quickpic pops up fine for me. Just downloaded it since above poster mentioned it.

thanks for that! would never have found that, counter-intuitive! (also, I tend not to attach many images from the gallery, usually take them on the spot.)
(found another cool little thing, if you long press any icon in the attachments menu, takes you to the app properties...)
still hoping to find a way to use a better/different camera app in attachments though. hrm. far more important.

What I hate is when browsing the gallery if you have your dropbox synced to it you don't have an option to share. However I do for my Facebook pictures which is also an online service. So in order to share I have to go to the messaging app and click attach from the dropbox in the attach photo selection I posted above. If you attach directly from dropbox it created a link to visit instead but if you use it from the massaging app it loads up the photo.

At least for me. I loved being able to snap a pic with my big camera, have the EyeFi upload it and sync it to Picasa, and have the picture in my JB stock gallery on the Nexus 4 automatically. The Sony Gallery will pull the Picasa images, but I have to manually tell it to refresh and it takes a LONG time.
Once the image is downloaded I can't share it from there, I have to download it and then go look for it and share it. It also downloads a small version of the image.
I was able to install the stock JB Gallery app but I was missing the components to sync Picasa. Still need to work on fixing that. Anyone use something that would make things better?
I don't know if this will help because it probably is quite obvious to you already, but have you tried using quickpic?

Oh that's not the way it's supposed to look? Haha. I had never used Quick Pic. It looks pretty good, but it doesn't have Picasa integration, so it doesn't add much value here.
I did find that I can pull the Picasa pictures more easily with Google +, but I still have to download them and then share them. It only shares to Google +. At least the resolution of the downloaded images is much better than what the Sony app gets and the pics are already synced when I open the app.
It looks like the Sony gallery does not use the Android sync service and pulls its own version of the images.

Someone over at Android Central pushed out the stock Nexus Gallery/Camera app from the new Samsung/HTC Nexus-ified devices. I just installed it and it works perfectly on my C6506, and Google+ Photos/Picasa is working like a charm. Gotta say I love the stock Nexus Gallery.
Give it a go.

Great! The only downside is that we won't be able to make use of the Bravia Engine, but oh well.

They want all of your Photos not only the ones you choose, I mean in case you want to use the sync option, which is (would be) a nice feature.
Would be very easy, I think, to add options like "Folders to sync"...."Folders to show"....and something like that, that makes the User the Owner of the Stuff
But these are Questions like, why we don't get an option to fully Access our Phones "Root" by Clickin......is all about the Money they make by Advertising "non Know Users" and so on....FTI.

Have you tried holding the pic down to lock it that will hide it you can also do that for a whole folder.

No option to lock any folders on mine. I had to do .nomedia in Explorer to get them to go away. Temp fix.

I have a similar problem, I also want to hide some folders in the stock gallery.
You cannot lock an folder, just single files, but that's not what I want, because then I cannot access those files with my filemanager, too.
I don't want to lock them, I want to hide them. As far as I see it, there's no method to do this.
And using the .nomedia or similar workarounds won't work too, since the files are on my external SD card.
I do not want to use third party apps, there must be way...

Any reason why you refuse to use third party apps? Quickpic works so well that I hadn't considered the stock app even slightly when I got the G4. Ability to sync photos with drive and Dropbox along with added functionality like hiding albums is the reasonwhy the stock app is considered inferior, at least IMO.

I'm with you on that. The only way I was able to satisfy this need was to put a .nomedia file in the folders I wanted to hide.

Well, I don't want to download and use apps that I wouldn't need.
But I just gave QuickPic a try, and I gotta say, this is pretty good. I'm gonna use it instead of the stock gallery now. It's faster and has the ability to hide albums.:good:
You can.lock files with a passcode or pattern. Hit the 3 dot menu under gallery. You might have to go to settings security to enable it first.
Naughty naughty pictures probably. Put a file with a file name of ".nomedia" in that folder, any text editor can create a new file but make sure you save it with the .nomedia filename.
Very naughty. Don't want my nieces to see when they play games but want them stored for... I actually don't even know why. I don't even look at them.

placing a .nomedia, hides everything from Gallery and Music. Please help!!!
Settings > Content Lock > Choose pattern or password. Once enabled head over to your gallery/folder and press the 3 dotted thing located on the top right hand corner and press 'Lock'.

I don't think you can do this. When hiding ("locking") in the stock Gallery, you literally lock the file: it gets encrypted. So you cannot open the file with a regular file manager anymore. Thus I believe the stock Music App cannot read the files either. When you lock each album art seperately the mp3s will still be there in the music app, the album art won't however. I can only advise you to choose a different app for your gallery. I've been using QuickPic for a while now and it's really good (and can hide your album art).

I have a Pixel now. Is your google photos updated? Have you tried using a different gallery app to see it they play?
Does your phone not play gifs stored on your device's memory or any gif?
Try to access a website with gif in your browser and check if it plays them.
