i have deleted it on root by a mistake
i dont have any gallery app and no gallery app from market works
Back up any apps & data you don't want to lose & then factory reset.
Try searching for Gallery3D(was leaked from initial phones with such gallery)
I lost it too..
Try QuickPic, its good.
Use the 3d gallery, it same as the stock one

Is it possible to use default music player on Creed's Rom ?

I have found many people eagerly looking for ways to install default music player just for two reasons
1. that small button top left saying 5.1ch
2. we can easily change music from notification bar
So friends is there any way we could use default music player on Creeds ROM or is there any other player that supports these features ?
PS: I use Player Pro which is beautiful but lacks only these 2 features.
i'm using default music player in creeds rom

download rare's file and place it on your sd card
using root explorer, go to sdcard folder then copy the file after that set the permission from r/o to r/w so that you will be able to bi-pass normal permissions,
paste it in system/apps and press down the file that you have pasted and scroll down and go to permissions then set it to
r(check) w(check)
r(check)
r(check)
then restart the phone

I will tell you one simple method ,just copy the app(whose icon you want to change) from system/app using root explorer and paste it to sd card after that paste it to desktop ,(note:you should have 7zip or winrar installed),right click on the app and extract it and then open the extracted folder app and goto res/drawable-hdpi and change it with ics icon from another app by same method,now right click on the app and click open archive,now delete the res folder from there and paste the folder(res) from the extracted folder and you are done now copy the modified app to sd card and remove the system app with it

Change the .apk to .zip and extract the aplication to find your image change it to transparent and compress files again to zip and normal comperession method with win zip or win rar then change the .zip to .apk and replace the new aplication with root explorer and restart .....enjoy

Easy solution
you can just try this mod in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797064
you will be able to remove the bottom line completely but not the upper line
and it's more customizable than stock

i cant do this.. whenever i change the .zip to .apk and bluetooth it to my phone the outcome is Home.apk.zip (the icon is in zip icon)
Use 7zip it will alow you to open the apk file so you can edit what you want when your finished it will be ok to run on the phone just flow the popup and save new setting and mods when asked ie just don't close it until you get the popup

Copy the apk that u want to mod to system with permission to rwrr
Open ninja morph
Select new project and find the apk
Close ninja morph
Go to root ekplorer
Find on sd card androidthemes
Open the project and open folder res
The icon that u want to mod must be renamed with the same name
With the icon that u want to replace
So it must be replaced
Like ic_blablabla
And another icon
Maybe on drawable hdpi, mdpi
U can replace all of them with ur new icon
After all have been replaced
Exit from root eksplorer
Open ninja morph
Select finisihing project
And yes yes
Go to root ekplorer again
And place your modded apk to system/app
Reboot

Not only on the drawable u have to change

Open every folder and search the icon
Dont use the pro version of ninja morph

Done it. Tried both methods and worked. What's unusual though is FACEBOOK & GMAIL. The apps never changed their icons until i uninstalled them first. But when updated from playstore, they go back to original.
