Gallery apps that aren't QuickPic - One (M7) Themes and Apps

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."

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.

Over Compressed MMS

Does anyone else notice when sending MMS the pics are of the worst quality? Im using FC14.
MMS pictures have always been compressed to lessen the file size.

If you want something near stock Calks E4GT 2 v1.2 which is FC18 might be to your liking. He has adjusted the MMS compression among other things. Only word of warning is the rom uses the Rogue Repack Kernel so you might have an app or two that will require a sd card dismount to install. The only one I have is Team Viewer.
If your on stock FC14 might give FC22 a spin see if they adjusted it at all.
Yes. Use handcent or another third party messaging app it does a better job at it. I touched on this subject a while back. Whenever I would send a screencap people wouldn't be able to read it bcuz the writing would be blurred. Samsung did a horrible job on the mms compressing in this phone. Never had this issue on the galaxy s epic. Handcent was a life saver for me my pictures are of higher quality now!!

Only issue with the suggested apps is that they do not allow you to select email addresses from your contacts list.
For example, if I go to create a new message, and I open my contacts list in either GoSMS or Handecent, it shows me all my contacts and their phone numbers, but it does not show their email addresses. If I wanted to send the message to their email, then I'm stuck using the default messaging app. Granted its a small price to pay in the end (its free), but optimal settings would be to completed remove using the default app and using one of those free apps instead.

If ur emailing the pic why not just use the built in email app or google email. You can share pictures that way too and there's no compression.

Camera

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.

Uploading multiple photos to Facebook

I was very disappointed to learn that TW can't natively upload multiple photos to Facebook. HTC and everyone else but Crapple can do it.
What app do you guys use? Or How do you do it? One by ONe?
Wow... I'd like to know as well.
I use Friendcaster, Best Facebook app by Far.. and you can multi post photos. Theres also Tweetcaster for twitter too.

Thanks, I tried using Friendcaster but it crashes and the adds drive me nut.
I think the newest update to the Facebook app allows you to upload multiple pictures in one post, but you must add them one at a time.

Talk to me like I'm 5 about the photo gallery app.

I'm having a problem with regards to the photo gallery displaying way too many photos and only want to display photos I have stored on the phone and the Instant Upload folder that google plus generates. What do I have to do to make this happen?
I've gone into picasa web galleries and deleted a ton of old ones which aren't relevant anymore, but no matter what I try my gallery app is a mess of photos from posts on google plus with no recognizable folder structure or organization at all.
Should I just give up and use gallery only for local photos and then the google plus app for viewing the instant upload folder?
Is there a third party app that will do what I want?
I really can't help you with the stock gallery app as it blows IMO.
QuickPic from the market will let you display or hide anything you wish.
I love quickpic but it's local files only isn't it?

Settings/accounts & sync / click on you Gmail account(s) and uncheck the photos so it doesn't sync with your device.

Galley Rant...

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?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
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

Turn wifi off and see if that fixes the lag problem

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