Anyone else on StreakDroid 1.9.1, notice some of the images in 3DGallery are out of place? this link has a .zip to a nice one that works. I used the old_gallery_high_res_for_stock_camera.zip, had to clear cache after installing. but it seems normal and better. *thinking of doing a honeycomb themed gallery/cam theme* (Gallery Blur background really bugs me.)

having second thought about gallery/camera, after stock camera dissapointed me today. Will probably end up doing anyway in the next day or so
3D gallery bugs me so much that I pretty much use quickpic exclusively anymore. However, I seem to always be using 3d gallery when showing pics to people because of its Picassa integration. Would love to see you retro fit the app to use the honeycomb city background.
You're keeping notes of all these theme changes right? So we can change everything around to an ice cream sandwitch color scheme when the time comes ;-)
Btw, no link in op.
forget icecreamsandwhich theme, we'll have the whole ROM!

Can anyone recommend a good gallery app, paid or free. I installed gingerbread and although I like the new gallery it's just so slow. It never loads all the thumbnails so I can't tell what each picture is without pressing it.
I appreciate any suggestions.

I use QuickPic -- its free on the market. Great gallery app, fast, smooth, loads up images in NO time.
I'm using Gallery+ right now cuz I hate 2.3.4's Gallery, gotta try that QuickPic one.
I use Quickpic. Love it.

+1 for QuickPic
will have to check it out; i HATE that the new gallery is all timecode based; i have all my pics (i am a published pro photographer and cameraman) organized meticulously and the new gallery wont let me just see everything in the old froyo file system. plus it is (WAY) slower and will not properly load thumbnails so 95% of my shots (which i keep in full res on the external SD card) show up without a thumbnail or title.
totally unacceptable to me. also i dont do social networking (AT ALL, i call/tango/skype if needed and talk or text but i prefer REAL human interaction) so tagging etc is useless for me.
+982343 for QuickPic
Super fast, and also renders images you use for WALLPAPER without any quality loss; if you set a wallpaper using the stock gallery vs quickpic you will see a stark difference.

yep, i noticed this straight away, with the wallpapers, and luckily quickpic does them perfectly, best gallery ive used.
Is the crap quality wallpaper thing a problem with the atrix gallery app or is it the same on other phones?
You guys are all correct, Quickpic is great. I need to start recommending it to people. Thanks again.

Another vote for Quickpic here... Flashed 2.3.4 a few days ago and I have been more than disappointed with the new stock gallery app. Quickpic is definitely the answer. It organizes everything for you.

Quickpic has my vote! So much easier to use!
Agreed quick pic is great but I also use b and b http://gallery.breadandbuttertool.com/ which has better folder options in certain circumstances imo. Those 2 though are all I need really!
quickpic!!
Quickpic is about the best.
But one feature that they ALL lack is an ability (option) not to recursively show subfolders.
ie, I have a folder called pets, and inside two more called cat, and dog. From the main gallery I only want to see pets and any images in pets. If I want to dig into cat or dog, I want to see those as subfolders. Just like folders in Windows.
If you like the idea of this, send an email to the author of quickpic. I requested this and he likes the idea. He said maybe if more people request it.
Okay, my personal mission aside.
Has anyone frozen (TiBu) the stock gallery app? I don't like it, and I'm tired of it littering my /sd with cache folders all over the place.
Yet another vote for quickpic.
Hey guys. I did a factory restore on my phone for reasons unrelated to the gallery, but when it was done, the factory gallery now works flawlessly. It loads up almost instantly and the thumbnails are perfect. I still think I like quickpic better, but I thought I would let you guys know what happened.

I have tried a few gallery apps because i totally hate the stock gallery app as well. I love how smooth QuickPic is. They recently released a latest version of this app, making pinch to zoom look like eye candy.
Have a look at this youtube link and see for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQdOwRCh__g
*Note: This is the old version of QuickPic though....the latest version is WAY smoother.
I thought maybe this is a kinda fun topic, where also Rom Developers can look in what users want. The question is: What would your rom look like?
Let's start mine!
Tweaked to the bottom
Very Long Battery life!
Minimal Theming (I like some AOSP theming, however don't make all the icons green)
Samsung Camera
MIUI Theme Options
Meego Launcher (new Nokia phone?)
Superb Speed
Ice Cream 2.4 ofc (haha)
Without Samsung Bloatware
With ALL ACC Syncs (Samsung, Twitter, FB etc.)
Now it's your turn!
MORE Eye Candy(No offense I h8 TW 4.5)
More AOSP roms like CM7 and MIUI
More options like in CM7 and MIUI
Battery life
OC 2Ghz
No social network capability whatsoever
Monochrome theme/icons
No status bar clock
No google maps
No lockscreen clock
OC/UV
No Samsung apps except camera (hacked), browser, Polaris
No stupid ****ty SMS bubble theme
Except for the latter, this is exactly what I've got too - thanks Leo, Hacre, Jkay, and the people behind ADW, WL and EDT tweaks
Just the bubbles to whack...

I downloaded - possibly from the Themes and Apps thread (although I can't find it again) - an ASOP (I think) version of mms.apk. It is simple, professional black on white, with some shading, but each message appears in a simple block - like a table - rather than as a bubble.
I have attached the file - use with care as I can't find the original instructions. From memory, you need to stick it on the phone (/system/app) via Root Explorer or equivalent. Make sure to take a backup of the original file first. Reboot, enjoy.
Wish I could locate the original thread so I could credit the originator.
My ROM would make me a sandwich and do my homework
Is there a way to get the gallery to work like it did on the Droid X? When I want to select a wallpaper or change an icon it shows me everything on my sdcard. I would like it to show me the list of folders so I can choose where to look. Can anyone out there help, I just received my DroidX2 today and this is driving me crazy when trying to set an icon or wallpaper as it list almost 5000 items.
Gallery 3D
Does gallery 3D let you find your images via folders when changing and icon and wallpaper? This new gallery is terrible, I do not want to scroll through 4739 images to find the one i want for an icon or wallpaper.
That's why I recommended it...
Install it and give it a try. With that many folders and pictures it will take a long time to load fully the first time. After that it should be good.
Thanks downloading it now and installing it. Here's hoping it works, this new gallery BLOWS LOL! If it will download that is another issue with this Droid X2 half the time downloads don't seem to work and I have to reset the phone to get them working again sometimes reset multiple times, and I have 4 bar 3G. I miss my Droid X.
Well I have restarted my phone 3 times have all bars 3G and the file still will not download. I never had these problems on my X.
I would try clearing data on your market app. You won't lose anything except the "Automatic Updating" for each app.
You rock. Gallery 3d finally downloaded, and it does what I want for wallpapers and icons. WOOHOO! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
How do you clear market app data?
Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - All Apps - Market - Clear Data
Thanks again. This will make the phone a little easier to bear I wanted the Bionic LOL.
No problem. The Blur gallery is cool if you only have pictures from your phones camera, but totally unacceptable otherwise.
I think the Bionic people are gonna feel stupid when the Prime and some other phones hit soon. It's not that much better than our phone, save the LTE. Especially if you flash a ROM, such as Eclipse. Runs very smooth and fast. And a replacement laucher like Launcher Pro is a must.
Good luck.
new to RAZR after 3 years Of samsung Touchwiz UI.
Have to say this, the motoblur light is incredible to me. I have never loved a UI so much before. Having had AOSP gingerbread and touchwiz gingerbread, i can't believe this is still gingerbread. I have no desire for ICS anymore. My friend has a Nexus with ICS and I find it boring compared to this.
Have to ask, how is this light? It seems like a complete gingerbread makeover.
My favorite features:
1. cool toggle for mute on lock screen.
2. Favorite contacts widgets with pull down
3. Social networking combo with better comment support than facebooks own app
4. swiping pages transition glow.
5. Honeycomb like resizing, drag and drop to screen.
6. Folder groupings and animation for it.
7. messaging looks like iphone.
8. MUSIC APP. wow. This is just amazing. (internet radio, podcasts, my own stored music, music store). The way it automatically downloads lyrics and shows them as the song goes. etc....... ++++++
9. clearing out individual notifications.
10. Weather widget
How is this motoblur light again? wow, what a phone!
-New overwhelmed user.
Having used Touchwiz and stock Gingerbread, as well (as well as CM GB and several others), I agree completely. I never thought I would say this, but Blur is better than stock. Hell has frozen over.
Blur=root and put stock rom
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
I too am enjoying Blur on my Razr. Love the Favorite Contacts and Weather widgets. The Dock looks gorgeous.
I came from the Eris with sense. Tried every ROM possible with many different launchers, but have no pressing urge to switch besides backing up my homescreen setup which isn't a big deal since I'm not flashing ROMS every week.
I actually don't mind the blur either. I run adw though because i don't like the blur icons and like the swipe up-down feature of adw. Blur runs smoother but that's to be expected.
I also like the Blur and stock widgets are actually usable. I especially like stock corporate apps like corporate email, tasks and calendar. I use it on daily basis to accept meeting etc.
I saw several reviews that said this is the first phone without blur. They were either really wrong or misunderstood this phone.
OK guys so nothing magical here but:
i instaled HOLO Launcher today and:
its SUPER costumizable.
I got finally mine FULL screen now; no botom or top bar needed so can use FULL screen all the time.
Ill post some screens l8er on; would love to post a vid on how smooth all works if i would know how to capture it. Runing Lee HC rom ofc.
Super sweet!
So as promised a very noob video from me, but ull see base idea of what i am talking about.
Definetlly NOOOOOOOOOOOO lag on mine HC HTC Flyer.

I love it even more now!!!
As u see no honey bar, so taking advantage of FULL screen. Runs great mine TV2Go app, movies ower lan with BS Player.... wooohooo
All thiw with thons of widgets(active) on each screen...
Flyer stays responsive even after big apps being run...
Tried it, not bad, lots of grid options, like GO and ADW. Still has the honey bar. Kind of laggy when you load up widgets. Deal breaker is none of the wonderful Sense widgets, especially email. Does not implement the ICS tablet interface, only the phone style. Dearly wish sense would get the customization for grid sizes.
I simply used honey hide to gain extra space for widgets
