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.

I use lightbox, the built-in filters are pretty cool and it's community is growing
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...

You should definitely give EyeEm a try.

You obviously miss the point of instagram. It's not just for filters.

Did anyone notice that the pictures you take when using instagram are much lower in resolution than the ones you take when using the stock camera?
Unticking the "advanced camera" option under instagram settings doesn't do much since you're gonna have to crop your picture again.
Any thoughts?

Yeah that's instagram for you, the pictures are resized to crap.
or taken in a lower resolution using their 'advanced' camera in part of the app.
Just the way it is.
That's just how Instagram works.

Images are always cropped down within instagram. Even the images you took with the stock camera you upload there. Just take a look into the instagram photo folder on your internal memory. They're all cropped down BADLY.
Thats just how Instagram works. Small images means less traffic and faster loading times. Thats why you cant watch images in full screen within the app either.
Thanks guys, I thought so.. this is getting annoying!

Damn, I wondered how they got the pictures to upload so fast!

Sorry for thread-jacking but is there any way to take pictures with Instagram and not have them uploaded? Many times I just want to make tests and it sucks that I cannot simply choose to save the files to a folder instead of uploading the pictures.
doe anyone else notice that instagram links do not open the instagram app on the HOX? For instance a tweet of the form instagr.am../asdhjd/ would give the option of opening with the instagram app on my SII but on my HOX it just gives the browser option..

Yes, just don't click upload... The pics will be saved in the instagram folder on SD

It does save the photo but it doesn´t apply the instagram effect. It also won´t let me choose the default folder or to set "never upload" as default.

Works for me. Take the photo, apply the effect(s), hit the arrows in the top right to take you to the tagging/upload screen, then just back out again. The processed photo (with effects) will be in the Instagram folder, the unprocessed photo will be in the normal camera photo folder.
Thanks. I didn´t realize it copied the photo with the effect to a different folder. All other photo apps I use automatically copy the photos to the android default photo folder.

Yea, it will copy the untouched photo to the normal photo folder, and the effect photo to the Instagram folder.

I much prefer to take pictures with the stock camera then use instagram to crop and upload, but thats just me.
yeah but wouldn't it be hard to judge how the photos should be taken because only the middle half of the photo will be cropped and uploaded onto instagram.
so can anyone give me so info how the sync works in the photo gallery app? after the n7 is been syncing the Google Photo feature should i be able to access my photo in the gallery app without need to be connected to the net? if yes.... it does not work by the look of it .
i have about 15gb of photos on picasa.
thanx

I believe you need to be connected to the internet to view the photos unless you enable offline viewing in settings of the gallery which will just download them. I don't think you can fit all your photos unfortunately
What does sync do then? ??
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.
Or maybe this is not what you're looking for? I dunno what you mean by photo editor

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

Hi.
I don't have root. I need to set it up after taking a photo or video, clicking on a photo or video in the camera app to open the photo or video in my own gallery. I use my own application for photos and I use potplayer for videos.
Thanks.

Which camera app are you refering to, miui stock or other? Can you not go into settings/app defaults and alter/clear them from there so that you are prompted next time you click on a photo within the camera app...
I have a stock camera. I don't know where in the settings to do this.

The stock camera app opens recently taken photos in itself (the photos are opened in the Camera app, not the stock Gallery app or something else), and it doesn't provide an option to open them in neither the stock Gallery app, nor your own gallery app of your choice.
If you'd like the Camera app to open those photos in the stock Gallery or an app of your choice, post a suggestion to Xiaomi to add this feature to the stock Camera app.
(And just to clear any confusion, this has nothing to do with app defaults, like the ones that ask you whether to open YouTube links in the browser, or the YouTube app)
