Hey is there any gallery app which is fully supported with Google cloud photos. I still don't understand the navigation of Google photos. And I would prefer something simpler

Hi guys, I heavily use the picasa sync feature of the stock gallery, I have about 5-6 albums there plus instant upload. I like to have all these folders synced in the stock gallery, which is y google photo sync is pretty important for me. But what pisses me off pretty bad is then I cant use the awesome camera features of cna/aokp/cm etc(I use camera zoom instead). I have tried searching for a suitable gallery replacement app on the market with native picasa sync but to no avail. Fish bowl seems quite nice but no picasa sync.I know, I might me missing something here....but any ideas? I really want to use all the camera features!!!!
Personally, I use Perfect Tool for Picasa, which has a gallery and lets you edit/share albums. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=larry.zou.colorfullife&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImxhcnJ5LnpvdS5jb2xvcmZ1bGxpZmUiXQ..
Also, Cool 3D Gallery should do the trick.

Ummmm.... I don't like perfect tool so much. Gallery3d looked like it would do the trick but when I try to install it ,says app cannot be found. Can someone please post the apk?

Hi,
I swithced my HTC One to Google Play Edition last night. Howerver, I didn't find the stock Gallery App. Can anyone help me and provide the apk file?
Thanks,
Salah
I'm not sure, but have you tried "Quick Pic"... It's similar and free on the play store.
Stock gallery is photos I think, not 100% sure. But do you have photos on your phone? The Google app?
Yes. I have Photos app. The only problem with that app is no offline mode for Google+ albums.

And your battery will thank you! ?
The gallery is part of Google Camera app. Find and install gapps package.
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 was looking for an alternative also found this. Pretty nice gallery app.

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

I use Google photos to upload some of my pic and quickpic is a pretty good one i use it to organize my other pics.

What do you guys make of this Camera App, as an alternative. Never seen it talked about but looks interesting:

Live Bokeh locks up after taking a picture.
I'd honestly rather use the default camera app. If I'm going to use a camera app that doesn't work 100%, I'm going to be using the Google Camera app.

For the Google Camera App it definitely worth keeping an eye on:

So I have tried to find the answer with no luck. How do I switch my text app, Facebook, Instagram apps to use Google photos as the default instead of Samsung photo app?
It will use both, just add a shortcut to Google Photos on your homescreen where Samsung Gallery was and use that instead
That definitely didn't solve the problem. It's just using the Samsung photo gallery, and doesn't even give me the option to make Google photos as my default.

Try setting google photos as default app for photos will do.

I am having the same issue. There's no way to change the stock Gallery app to google photos. When I had my pixel, my apps would source directly from Google Photos, and I guess I was spoiled. Even if a photo wasn't downloaded and I selected it to send, it would forward it after it downloaded.
It's a pretty dumb situation honestly with this phone. Your text app you can use the Google photo app, but anything else like , IG or Facebook you have to go into Google photos app and download it to the phone so the picture you want to post goes into the stupid Samsung gallery. I bought the app that someone had suggested to disable the Samsung gallery app and it didn't work. Also when you disable the app, it effects other apps on the phone, so you are pretty much screwed. Besides the fingerprint scanner, I think this whole, not being able to just use the Google photo app as default for everything is the next biggest ****ty thing about this phone. I still love the phone, but you pay the big bucks and you still have to deal with issues like this, when phones half the price offer these two things better. Oh well I guess?
