MUST BE ROOTED
the gallery app that came with the phone is lets just say horrible so i asked in irc if anyone knew of an alternative to the stock gallery...riggsAndroid forwarded me a copy of the 3d gallery apk and it worked with a few modifications to the permission level! So with that being said and with his permission i am sharing this info with all of you.
MUST BE ROOTED
to install the app you will need to be rooted as this needs to either be pushed via adb or using rootexplorer... and you need root to modify the permissions to rw r r using root explorer. MUST BE ROOTED
I take no credit for this discovery other than being a test bunny to verify it's working status so please say thanks to riggsAndroid for providing me with the direction!
MUST BE ROOTED
I will host the APK as i am not sure if it falls under warez guidelines or not so enjoy!!!
MUST BE ROOTED

3d gallery?
On the stock gallery there is a setting that lets you connect straight to your Xbox. Haven't tried it yet though

I found out on the first day of having the phone that the stock gallery app was just horrible. I went to find the 3D gallery APK but just found it on the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cooliris.media&feature=search_result
It works fine on my Photon. No root needed.

Wow - you guys are right... when I go to the market link online I see the Photon is grayed out. I just installed it last week though through the market on my phone. Can you try to just look up "gallery" in the market and see if you can install it? It shows up as the first search result on my Photon.

not stock 3d gallery
That's the one... I think the issue is that if you try to install from the Market on the Web, it won't let you. If you look it up on the Market on your phone, you're fine.

I think that's what we're trying to straighten out. This thread was started by someone in order to get the 3D Gallery app on to our phones - -but the method requires ROOT. Myself and someone else have said there is a version of the 3D Gallery app on the market that will install on the Photon WITHOUT root if done from the phone's Market (not on the web).
However, there may be some confusion as to whether or not we are talking about the same app. I have used the stock Android 3D Gallery app before and the one I just DL'd and installed from the Market on to the Photon seems to be the same. If it is, then that would be the method to use since it does not require root. However, if the app referenced in the original topic/post is somehow different then I think we'd all like to know (since it requires a bit more work to install).

ah ok......i understand now....
Yes the 3d gallery. Pulled it right from a old cm7 nightly and it installed with no problems.

Another good one is QuickPic which allows file management and better thumbnails. Much better than stock Gallery.
Installed the newest Energy Rom. Flashed the stock kernel so that way I wouldn't have problems. Everything seems to be working right except for 2 things:
1. Screenshots
2. Sim Toolkit
When I press Power + Home.... the screen flashes and it makes the sound and says "screenshot saved to Camera Shots" but when I go there, no screenshot gets saved....
Its frustrating because I use that feature A LOT!!!!!
I don't know whether I should have posted this in the development threads or here.... I just know there are a lot of good people here that might know how to fix this.
When I try to open Sim Toolkit ... it says "Sim Toolkit is not ready or unsupported"
How do I fix this?????
Did you upgrade your SIM Card when you got the Amaze?
As far as the screenshots go I'm using Energy and it works fine. Do you have enought space on your sdcard?

First have file explorer and look either on your SDCARD (Internal) and under DCIM folder it is there if it is not look in your SDCARD2 (External) the mountable one and look in the same folder as i mention from the above..
Second if it is still not there pull or edit your build.prop using the file explorer with root permision and find the ff. Line..
If your
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = false
You need to change it to
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = true
and go to your cwm and clear dalvik-cache
Otherwise just download any screen capture app on the market like shootMe or ScreenShot It

About the SIM Toolkit it a carrier based tool for stuff that the older phones needs like for ringtones read/backup contact if your sim contacts are full etc.. since older phone dont have nor didn't have market like the android market to get stuffs like what we have today..
As for 2.3 android stop or don't have support for SIM toolkit anymore nor i think newer SIMs for it is not needed for the most anymore.. cyanogen MOD 7 still have that tool but it is laggy as hell and most of the time doesn't work.. still you can access the menu and stuff but not fully working..
Couldn't find the screen shots anywhere... neither the internal nor external... so looks like I have to do step 2 that you mentioned.... so my question is... where do I find these files???

Go in to your root which is / then find the System folder then scroll all the way down and you'll see a single file which is build.prop
Open it and edit and find those line that i mention..
But first backup your build.prop first. Just copy/paste it somewher on your SDcard

I opened up build.prop and everything is set to true... so I'm screwed... I might have to reflash the rom... using outside apps to do screen caps is NOT an option...
Thank you for all of your help!!!!

Ahh I see,, well good luck and if the problem still arise then maybe Post on the Energy™ Rom thread instead here to get better help since the problem is in the ROM you've downloaded it self..
As for me I set Mine to False since i have the app ScreenShot It and i just shake the phone and it does get screenshot than pressing the Power & Home button.. just for my preferences =)

I fixed the problem by reflashing the stock kernel (provided with the Energy Rom) and then reflashing the Rom itself... seems to work.... hopefully it wont mess up again.... or I'm gonna have to remove Energy Rom.... and I don't wanna do that...
I honestly do not trust certain apps... specially if they weren't built into the phone's o/s... I'm very picky that way...

Just a side note, if you are not using the sim that came with tour amaze, or equivalent, meaning newer sim, your amaze will not be able to really reach its full potential. I can confirm a major diference in dl speeds and connectivity between older sim and the latest ones.
Just a thought.

So I did a lot of searching to find out what the Sim Toolkit actually does. Didn't find anything, found where to get it, but not what it actually does.
Any explanation?

I've installed it by putting the apk into system/app changing the permissions, rebooting, and then installing with root browser from system/app. The thing is that it says that there's some kind of network issue, but I read somewhere that its because Samsung blocked its servers. And they say that there's a lot of stuff it can do that vlingo can't plus it talks back like siri

The network error issue is because it looks for I9300 string, which is specific to Galaxy S3 (they are not making it easy for everyone)
Here is the link to the modified apk which already modify within the apk to pass the I9300 back to vlingo network: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664785
download the "Modified APK" to your SD card then uninstall the previous version before install the new one.
Just install like any other normal apk. Hope this work for you
Be sure to let us know if it works!
i tried it once...after reading a lot...i downloaded the signed apk file and changed permission and then try changing your build.prop
change the product and device to GT-I9300
thats capital i at GT-I9300
then u must be on ics rom

Don't you know one apk can add two or more icons for different things? Like camera.apk in sense ROMs adds both camera and camcorder , like just gallery.apk adds gallery+camera on few jellybean. It could have been similar thing with Google+ though its not.

An icon is one thing, but it was referenced in one of the posts above as a Google+ settings app. It doesn't appear to be that but instead an icon that gives access to the settings in Google Play Services 3.0.
I just cleared data for the "Google Play services" app and now I have the icon in my app drawer.

To apply it you have to go to the themes app that came with the phone. Them click on the tab that says "me" on the bottom right, then click customize and click on text and your downloaded font should be in there.
