I have become really frustrated with the 3d gallery app. It takes forever to load my pics. When I first had the phone it was fine, but ever since the 1st update (JI6) it has been slow. I am now running Nero V3 with voodoo, and it is still slow as ever. It seems ridiculous, this phone is really fast especially with this rom. Is there a way to make it run faster, or a better gallery app. I sometimes use justpictures, but don't like the interface as much as the 3d gallery.

installing a lagfix may do the trick

Why not try another app, not the gallery:

On first opening, you have to let it build the cache thumbnails, after this it will be a little faster ..... Most don't do this, and especially if you have a lot of pics, it will load slow, and try to build the cache every time they open it .... So just open it and let it for its thing ... Also you can browse to to your sd cards, to the DCMI folders, and delete the thumbnails folder , then open the gallery app and let it rebuild .....
Try the hacked gallery from SGS Tools.

I just tried this, and after the phone is off for awhile it goes back to having to load all of the thumbs again....takes forever. It's as if it's creating new thumbnails every time I open the gallery.

SGS Tools can be found in the market. Just click "Upgrade Stock Apps" and then pick the "Modded 3D Gallery".
Hope this fixes your problem.

I have sgs tools, but maybe it's un old version, it doesn't have an upgrade apps option. When I go to the market I only find sgs toolbox and sgs unlock. Neither of those have that option either. Is there another way to get sgs tools, or does it not work with jl5 maybe?
I dont think thats it, Im on Nero v3 right now which uses JL5 as a base. Try clearing your market data and force stopping it through Settings>Manage Applications.
In any case, heres an apk of SGS Tools (which should be the most recent version).
cool, thanks for the file i'm trying it out now, I appreciate all the help
Hey that's what XDA is here for.
Let us know if it works.
so far so good, the modded gallery ls nice and fast. My only teensy weensy complaint is that when you open a pic from the album it takes a little longer to load and is pixelated during the process, but it's MUCH better than it was.
Thanks again

I found this in the Desire Z forums and tried it out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9685595&postcount=13
So far so good. Found all my pics and the camera button is even linked to the HTC camera, so it can easily replace the Sense App.
Hope this helps someone.
Works awesome, takes a sec to load pictures but everything is fully funtional. I don't really like the htc gallery. The only thing that sucks is that the camera takes you back to the htc gallery if you hit the gallery button on the camera app.

Any chance this gallery links to your picasa albums? I have some albums that I enjoy pulling wallpapers from, but Sense gallery doesn not pull them into the phone.

sweet, I know what I'll be getting after perma-root gets working.
Man this is the first time I've seen the 3D gallery move this quickly. I liked the look of it on the Hero, but it was slow to load.
After the initial load up there is no hesitation on the Shift.
This isn't going to make my phone go nuts, is it?
When i had a Moment, if the stock gallery and the 3D gallery were even installed at the same time, not running, it would make the phone slow down like crazy.

My Shift is running just fine with it and stock gallery. But my Moment didn't have problems when both were installed either.
It's not only about the slowness but the 3d gallery is very unstable even when it comes as stock on many phones if not all the thumbnail cache is a pain in the butt... deleting caches with Astro to rebuild then use it a few days then again black squares as thumbnails.. Nah! I rather use the stock sense gallery works great!

I had those problems on my Moment but not on the Shift. It is slow to load the thumbnails for the first time but when you've got 20GBs of photos on Picasa that you'd like ready mobile access to it's the way to go. I'm actually really impressed with it. The only problem is that it keeps asking me for permission to sync with a gmail that I've already turned the sync off to and that I've already denied access to.
I recently upgraded to GSB v2.1 from my previously non-rooted bog standard Eris and am amazed by what I had been missing out for. I'm still pretty much a complete newbie to the whole custom ROM thing though, and have a few questions that may be quite stupid.
1) I'm getting force close crashes w/ the Facebook app. It'll load for a second and I'll see my news page, then force close comes up. Do I just need to reinstall or ... ? Edit: Facebook seems to be loading now, without force close issues. The problem was very repeatable (every time I tried to open the app!) last night, but seems gone today. Ah well, good riddance!
2) While trying to play a vid from Youtube, the sound is working flawlessly but the video doesn't seem to be advancing. I can move forward manually but all I get are still pictures from the video. This is using the browser that came with GSB; I haven't yet tried to get any other apps.
3) My wife's phone seriously needs this too, but she's leery of wiping her phone of apps. What's the best way to backup apps from a non-rooted Eris?
Thanks in advance for any answers you guys can provide!
Download titanium backup for the apps I'm new at this too I'm unsure about your problems with Facebook and YouTube did you wipe the dalvik cache?
Sent from my Ginger Tazz using Tapatalk
I did wipe the cache, although like I said, I haven't put any apps on here yet, so no harm in just wiping it all again and reflashing the rom to make sure it works. Thanks for the titanium backup tip!
No problem gsb is a great rom these Eris devs do awesome work I use gsb 2.0 no problems I'm trying Ginger tazz now I think battery life may be a little better but both are excellent. You should totally hook your wife's phone up too

I think the Youtube thing is a known issue, and I'm guessing that it's just because Cyanogen Mod 7 isn't completely done yet, so maybe it'll be worked out over time.

Just to let you know, you can wipe the Dalvik cache any time you want to, even after loading apps. It'll just longer to rebuild it when you reboot, but it can help solve issues sometimes.
Welcome to rooting!
That's great to hear! Well, it's not great that youtube doesn't work 100%, but at least it's not some weird problem particular to me. Lol.
I have to say, I really really have grown to like this ROM very fast. My wife is clamoring for it even knowing she's gonna lose all her apps. Any tips on how I set my contacts to import Facebook profile pics now? I did it before, but have no clue where that was or where it may have moved to now.

best option i found for backing up my wife's apps before flashing from stock was to use "universal androot" to root (it is a software root so there is no rebooting or flashing or really any risk of loosing aps). then you can install titanium backup. it will even backup protected files since you have root. when titanium backup loads, hit menu->batch and pick the backup all new apps and newer versions. after flashing, load titanium backup, menu-> batch and pick restore all missing apps (i restored them with data, but many people have had to install the app only and then put back in the other info). FYI i rooted several (5) phones this way. if you install rom manager from the market and install a recovery (clockwork or amon's) from the rom manager, you can turn phone off, then hold vol down and power on to boot to recovery. from there you can wipe and flash. it is the easiest way to root and flash a new rom imho.
sorry figured i should answer your post i quoted. lol. if under menu-> accounts and sync->add account->facebook. input your info and select sync all or sync current contacts. it should pull in the information. if you have different names for people in your contacts and your facebook (ex "wife" in your contacts and "jane" on facebook) you can "sync all contacts" and manually link them. contacts->long press on contact->edit contact->menu->join. this should link you contacts with their facebook info. the facebook pics will sync it just takes a good bit of time sometimes.
i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right
Best ROM on XDA

I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

I have this issue with every rom ive tried on my gtab. So now I pretty much just install clem's kernel everytime. Plus it gives me CIFS so I can stream media from my windows pc .

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!
DeadEnd
Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.
1. What would you recommend as a good client for the PC for transfering files via Bluetooth? i mean somthing better then the built in Win 7 client.
2. Recently i discoverd QuickPic which is absolutly much better then stock Gallery in terms of customization. but the weird thing is that everybody claims it loads pics much faster then the Gallery while every time i load it, it takes a second the get the sharpness right, even though this is the 20 time i load the same pic. im talking about a "second" that you will notice! i tried everything to fix this including uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing cache, moving the files from the external SD to the internal, formating and changing rom's and its still the same though no one else ever mentioned that problem..is it just with me? i wouldnt want to give up QuickPic so fast..also, any other gallery i tried does not have that delay effect for fixing the sharpness. please advice what could be the problem.
Im on litening ROM v4.2 if thats matter.
Thanks!!
Any help?

hi there.
the devs' of one game (EA's monopoly) were so brilliant to forget to hide their game's pictures and other media from android gallery.
I have added the file .nomedia in all folders that contain the game media, cleared gallery data and rebooted, but the pictures still show up in gallery.
what am i doing wrong?
Would've thought the file would do the trick. Strongly suggest QuickPic. MUCH faster, lighter and has more options. The gallery is a cpu hog.

yeah that's what i thought.
used quickpic on my other phone, liked it. generally want to go stock as much as possible though... weird that it doesnt work the way it should
so there is no known solution for the monopoly issue? its too bad, i really like the game but its messing up my gallery so much

Unfortunately I couldn't find any
I put .nomedia file in every possible sub-folder and rebooted, but the media still showed up. Kind of weird, because ".nomedia" should and has worked in the past... so kind of a combination of EA making this blunder in their game design, and something wacky about the GT ROM not properly rescanning media files...
I ended up deleting the files and uninstalling the game, periodically checking the market whether EA has updated the game... I also sent them a bug report to their support Email in their website (although for support they do not have Android as a platform listed... go figure...) -haven't received an answer yet
^ certainly understand your thoughts... just curious though... the stock gallery is a cpu hog. why not just freeze it and use quickpic? You know from using it you could easily hide/exclude the galleries you did not want scanned/shown and the Tab has proven to run much better for me without the stock Gallery.
I know you mentioned staying stock as much as possible.... just felt I'd beat the drum a little more for those who read this later.

no prob.
i used quickpic on my old Galaxy Tab (and my wife still does).
Gallery in Honeycomb just has a pretty good integration with Google+ and Picasa.
quickpic is a good app, can recommend it definitely.
right now i however just wish that EA would take android programming more serious... it tells me a lot that their user support pages don't even list Android as a platform... they haven't really arrived here yet...
I also have this problem, tried everything and my gallery is still full of monopoly trash . Sad cause I liked the game.
Have you cleared app data for media storage in settings/apps?
not entirely related to your issue, but an interesting side note.... When i plug in my nikon sd card via the usb adapter gallery refuses to show the contents, but quickpic works fine
Never had this with my other droid devices, so defo something odd on the tab re gallery/media scan
