Has anyone been able to port a different gallery app? For instance the 3D one (don't know what it is called). The stock picture viewer is slow to render and a bit bothersome...

And another one that quite a few people like, QuickPic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866827&highlight=gallery
The 3D gallery is available on www.sdx-developers.com under the Samsung Moment downloads. It works great on the NC.

Thanks, but Quickpic only looks at the SD card. Any way to make it look elsewhere?
Seems the same with Google Gallery. Will anything work?
Thanks,
kev
I love the cool iris gallery but it only shows the SDcard as well, which makes me mad
Has anyone tried JustPictures on their NookColor? I use this on my DInc for pics and love it. I am getting a NC on Friday and am hoping to be able to set my photos up the same on both devices this weekend.
Me too. Stock gallery is crap, for sure.
I tried installing google gallery and it wouldn't let me, I'm on 1.0.1 rooted
I use a modified 3D gallery for the Samsung Moment (actually modified for the Spica) ... camera button removed, solid black background, and no flickering thumbnail artifacts.
I've attached it for you!

Hey folkes, I searched the forum on this and I could not find anything to help me.
Was wondering if it is possible to replace the Nexus Gallery that is in the KaosFroyo build with the stock photo gallery. To be honest the Nexus Gallery runs slow on the Eris and I hate having to wait forever for it to laod up when I want to show someone a picture.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
ive been using the gallery extracted from the white widow 4.6 rom on kaos froyo ,i installed that gallery 1st then deleted the gallery3d using root explorer with no problems. that gallery runs awesome,it is listed as ww optional installations in the zip file.

I tried to install the 2d gallery into Kaosfroyo, but didn't have any have luck getting it installed, and up and going. I did notice that after the 3d gallery finished indexing all the photos it did get a lot quicker. I would like to keep thing simple though just for the sake of ease of use.
I found this in the Desire Z forums and tried it out.

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.

It sure does.
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.

You don't need root. Just install the .apk like any other app.

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.
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

Yes and yes
hey guys, i have (again ) a question.
my gallery app is very slow when stating it takes some seconds to do anything because its loading. so i wanted to ask you if there is any solution to that.
i already used some other apps. eg. quickpic is great but the only problem with it is the resolution when viewing pictures. i have screenshots attached.
pls help me, cause gallery or viewing pictures is one of the most things i do with my phone.

I had the same problem and even I deletted this gallery ap, because I'm really happy with quickpic!! I didnt notice this less resolution you mention... Even more, taking into account our little screen
I would recommend to use quickpic because its the fastest one, and I see my pics perfectly, but if you have this resolution problem lets see if there is someone who can help you
The stock gallery app is.... garbage IMO. Its constantly reordering my images to some arbitary order instead of by name (very annoying because i have pages of documents scanned and named by page number), just overall it feels rather clumsy, it doesnt animate gif files, no respect for .nomedia, etc.
Yeah, technically this is a question but here goes: What gallery applications do you use? If you could rip the gallery app from any device which would you choose and why?
Personally, im thinking of trying to rip the gallery app from the S2 or the galaxy tab, i know the S2 works well with gif files and thus far has not given me the amount of pain the Asus one has.
what do you think?
only thing I hate is that it won't allow you to rename files in there. so i use Asus file manager to rename. for the pictures or whatever you don't want shown, Quick pic works perfectly to hide whatever you don't want shown. I noticed GIF. don't animate in there also. they do in quickpic. but that's not a big deal for me. Other than that, I actually like the gallery app. its way better than my Ipad stock gallery app. I haven't came across another gallery only app. I'd be up for trying one. as long as its one that doesn't need to make duplicate copies to fill up its own gallery.

+1 on quickpic, you can do so much with it.
put folders the way you like them, move pics around easy and it makes any pic you look at nice and big.
i will never use anything else and ive tried a few.
I also use QuickPic. It is the best gallery app on Android, hands down. Not only is it super fast and responsive, but it is rock solid and has tons of file management and editing options that don't exist inside of the stock Gallery app.

+1 on quickpic - however has anyone used the gallery app on MIUI 4??
I used it on my old desire hd, it was pretty nice!
Gave quickpix a try, it does everything i need. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
