I like viewing facebook in my dolphin browser, or even the stock android browser. It's a nice way to see the news feed, the only problem is viewing images is a pain. For some reason, all friends photos are cropped, unless you download them. Screenshot attached.
What's wrong?

Edit:
Notice how the "like" "thumbs up" image is cut by about 80% - you can't even tell it's supposed to be a thumb any more.

I am looking for the following that I haven't been able to find by searching:
-Widget with different sizes
-Widget will automatically slideshow from selected drawers at a set interval (with random as option)
-You can scroll through the photos by swiping, preferrably seamless (with the help of a launcher that allows scrollable widgets I guess) so you can scroll really quick
-Clicking a picture will bring you its source
Would this be possible (or is there such a widget already)?
I have not found anything like this but would love to have it.
Would like this also... thought i'd 'bump' the short thread.

Great idea.. Whoever decides to jump on board should test with one of the new 7 inch tablets as well.. Having extra screen estate means bigger thumbnails for Widgeez especially anything picture related.
Multi Picture Live Wallpaper does more or less what you want.
You can have an empty screen and cycle the background.
Obviously not a widget, but it comes close to what you want.
(can't yet add the link for you unfortunately)
I know exactly what you might be looking for...
I had a "Sony Xperia Arc LT15a" on gingerbread.. and it had a scrolling gallery widget where the pictures shuffled in folder order when you touch the widget and I cant find it anywhere. If anyone can find anything similar msg me please!

Its good but what I'm really looking for is simply an automatic slideshow version of the stock android photo gallery widget. I like the way it stacks the photos, shows them in high res and responds to flicking through them - I just wish it would animate automatically!
I need slide widget 'xperia style' too. Is it present?
Up!
Hi guys,
I do have the SGS2 since last week and I think it is a very good device. However, I am coming from a HTC Desire and I got used to some things, which I cannot find on the SGS2:
a) the browser: There is no text-reflow on pinch2zoom and the double-tap is sometimes not zooming enough and I hate to scroll text horizontally. Is there any alternative browser that can reflow text on p2z or even better any chance to get the HTC Browser somehow running
b) the dialer screen on HTC had a very nice and big contact picture and the contacts were shown very well in the phone-book app. With the SGS 2 the pictures (especially the ones synchronized with Facebook) are not shown properly - they look very blurred, are small and the aspect-ratio is wrong.
Any ideas how to improve this?
Regards and thanks!
i think blurring is due to the amoled resolution issue, the screen is big but dpi is not enough, or there might be software issue using 16bit color not 32bit color
16bit vs 24bit colour wouldn't cause blur. I rather suspect face book is the prob.
Maybe grab an image through web browser and assign manually to test

In the stock browser, go to Menu -> More -> Settings and check "Auto-fit pages". This will make double-tap zoom and reflow to much more readable levels. Having this setting checked is standard on most phones, for some unknown reason Samsung decided to change that.
If you want to try an alternative browser, Dolphin HD is excellent (and a much nicer visual design is in the works, coming with the next release): https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser&feature=search_result
wow, this was really helpful. Now just a different dialer or getting syncmypix working, then I would use GoContacts!
opera mobile supports text reflow.

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 really like the Sony Cradle, but there's one thing that's been bugging me since I got it.
I'd really like to use my tablet as a photo frame when it's in the cradle, and there's the Gallery app to do just that. But unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of settings.
Rather than just pulling in any photos it finds, I'd like to just display a specific folder of images (In an ideal world, it'd hook into Flickr and pull a particular set in, but that's probably asking too much).
Failing that, it'd be great if other applications - including an alternative "gallery" app - were available.
Other options should include duration between pictures, selection of transitions, how to deal with photos of different ratios, and choosing whether to pan/zoom or not.
Has anyone got any solutions?
install quickpic (alternative gallery, fast and free, lets u define paths)
go to settings, applications, gallery
clear defaults
see if quickpic now comes up as option when u dock
Any word on how this worked? I'd like to have something like this, but can't try it until I get home.

edit:
tried it. still only gives the same options. =\
QuickPic is indeed a much nicer program than Gallery, although it could do with some transitions.
Unfortunately, only the three "official" Sony apps come up as options to auto-start when you dock in the cradle - Clock, Gallery and Chumby.
I'm not sure what special inclusions are required for third-party apps to work like that...
Well, quickpic needs some development
Quickpic is nice, but still, what's bugging me is:
"Can't sync Picasa or Facebook or other web albums!"
An app where you could choose whatever album you wanted (including Picasa) I would give a fair amount of money for.
Hey guys I've been having this problem on every custom ROM. All pictures on fb using any browser look really small.. In the news feed, pics look normal, but after I click on them, they look realli small. Like a thumbnail.
Does someone knows how to fix this?
