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.

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.

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.

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

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..
Hi Folks
i have just reaslised that all the photos that the gallery imported from my facebook & picasa accounts are all jumbled up, they are still in the correct folders but the pictutres are not in the correct order
Can anyone else confirm this is happening to them?, at first i thought it was just the fb photos and was going to remove the account & sign in again to see if that fixed it, then noticed the picasa ones as well, so cant really see it being both accounts having problems, seems more like a phone software problem?
Thanks
Pete
Thats strange. Mine is sorted in alphabetical order. First whats in the phone a-z then facebook a-z. Im using a Custom Rom so dont know if thats the reason.

Hey have you ever tried quickpic?
- It easily replaces the standard gallery in Android...
- Bobo
I encountered this problem first when I upgraded my SGS2 from GB to ICS. The gallery on the Note in JB still doesn't seem to be fixed.
It has to do with the GPS tag. When you have a mix of GPS- and non-GPS-tagged images in your gallery, the sorting goes bananas.
Hope it gets fixed some day... meanwhile you can indeed try another picture viewer instead.

Thanks all for the replies, glad it's not just my phone. I used quickpic before, will give it a try to see if it works but really like the stock gallery so hope they get a fix sorted.
Pete
Just tried quickpic but unfortunately it can't display Facebook albums
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.

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?

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.

I know this is old but I'll just leave my two cents about a Gallery I just found yesterday: F-Stop https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fstop.photo it's a nice and fast Material Design UI, has the most EXIF data I've seen on some galleries out there per photo, doesn't have any ads and has some nice features like protecting some photos or albums with a password, after Piktures (was a bit slow) and Google Photos (didn't let me do something as simple as renaming a photo from the viewer) this is what I used in the end
with me, sony album is the best
I see that there is no stock gallery app on this phone. Looks like Google wants you to solely use photos. I almost don't mind, but, I'd really like to manage the pictures and videos that are saved to my phone. Does Google still have one that I can grab even with an apk online? If not, what do you guys and gals recommend?
Please and thanks!

I think the problem is people moving to Google phone after being with phones by LG or Samsung. Not sure when Google officially made the switch over to Photos, but it definitely was around in 2015. When I got the Nexus 6P, I noticed it didn't have a stock gallery app, so it was extremely weird for me at first.

Well, that is true. It defaults to a 'view' mode that sorts each picture by day. However, I have the cloud feature disabled for me, so no data usage. Photos behavior has always been that 'view' mode though.

People are not blinded by this! It is the fack that you are unable to access your album's w/ 1 click & the grid style layout is favorable! And do not touch Google photos if you don't want to bring every photo in existence to your device...but you are unable to force stop & still be able to take a pic! I'll say it again... Google's ability to store & display albums is still lacking.

Welcome to the forums and bringing back a thread that is soon to be ONE year old! [emoji112][emoji112][emoji112]
I actually love being able to see all the pics I've ever taken with Google Photos. That's why I've uploaded pics even from old point and shoot cameras I had. And the ability to search by person, places, or things is amazing.
