I got the phone in April and took out a lot of the bloatware through adb. I was using Adobe Clip for most of the video stuff I do, but I just realised how sweet the default V30 Video editor app is. I also can't access any of my high-speed footage without that app apparently.
I want to put it back on the phone but I don't want to have to do a factory reset just to get the one app back since it's not rooted so my backup will be limited.
Are there apks for the default apps anywhere? Or does anyone have a way to pull this one specifically?

I'm noticing in my gallery that I have random ad pictures downloaded and I was wondering what's the cause? There are about 4-5 ads so far downloaded into my memory card which are in jpg or some sort of picture format.
i read that some games (like WWF, for example) will save some pics on your sdcard, which may appear in your gallery.
Oh really? Is there anyway to disable that? I don't want to keep on deleting random ads..
you'll have to have root access, and you will want to block ads via hosts file..
some roms do this, i belive cm7 does, unnamed does, dont know about others..
you could probably find an app in the market to do this also..
or buy the pro version of said app (if it has one) and you wont get ads..
Don't feel like rooting my phone... :/ Guess I'll deal with the ads then
Use QuickPic from the market to disable those folders. Or you can manually add .nomedia file in each directory to disable the photo viewer from opening that folder.
You can hide it with QuickPic and still use the default viewer.

Hey, I'm new to this.. First time Android user who jumped from the iPhone 3GS because of how awesome the reviews were for the GS2! Anyways, I had the same issue and did some research and found out the ads for me were coming from Shazam.. A few days ago, they released an updated version of the app and under the changelog apologized for the issue.. Since updating, I haven't seen the ads again in my Gallery.. So if you have Shazam, I would check the market for the update!
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.

I use quickpic, I've always used quickpic so I'm not sure whichother I'd use

+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!
This is my first thread so, here it goes... I got the new LG F60 and i just ADORE IT... But, there are a couple of issues... First of all, it says the phone needs to have 4gb memory and i get only 1.3 in my settings>apps and the same in settings>memory.
When i got in settings>memory it said i had 1.3 free and among other stuff last on the list in MISC it said that my system data(yeah in misc) took up 2.3gb! That's enormous! So i tried googling the issue but i came up with nothing, i tried the forum on android central and no solution what so ever, so this is kinda my last hope.
Oh yeah, i did a factory reset and it didn't help at all, same size remained...
Also, as noted in my manual, i was supposed to have these apps but i don't: quick memo app, default gallery app, calculator app, video player app, radio app... Only gapps and the very basic ones that come with the phone... I have no idea how to fix it if it's possible or what the problem is... Here are some screenshots that might help a bit(note the last image is after the factory reset, and it says that the whole partition is 1.3 gb when i connect it to my pc and all together in settings>memory it says it has 4 gb):
I have one and w_8gb i love this cell.

I bought this phone today and having the same issue . I want to return it back to the seller but not possible because i have broken the seal of the package. This really sucks, no room for install applications.
I had the same problem. I bought additional SD card class 10 with 16gb storage, downloaded bunch of apps (for gallery, even the photo app - the stock one isn't that practical) and thats it. F60 is running the stock 4.4.4 kit kat so that is why we get so many Google related applications and no custom ones. Hope this helps.

hello i have the same problem, a lot of space is used by system but there are not a lot of lg apps mostly google [email protected], is there a way to get the lg apps back meteo and all that you said?
i must root it to clean up the system (but its not my phone so i'm not sure) but how can the system tale 2.4gb and there are no lg apps... i don't understand
but the phone is great no problem my mom loves it, but it's ssoooo strange not having lg apps and still system use way to much memory.
I have a Virgin Mobile LG Volt and all I did was update it and then root it. I don't have a custom rom or kernel, just rooted stock rom. If I'm using the Facebook app, I can upload photos no problem, but the app slows my phone down so much that I needed to get rid of it. When I use a wrapper, I cannot upload photos. I can get to the upload photo screen, but the button you tap in order to select a picture from the gallery doesn't do anything. I've tried it with multiple browsers and just about every wrapper in the playstore.
Any suggestions?
Hi All,
Anyone here have any issues with Smartshare.Provider killing your battery remorselessly? I can never make it happen but at random times sharing a picture results in my battery being almost completely drained in 2-3 hours. If I remove it I have no gallery. Please somebody help me be free of this on a permanent basis? This little thing is making me hate LG with a passion!
Nobody??
Have absolutely none of you run into this? I can replicate this on 2 LG G5's running 2 different roms. This isn't an issue with a specific rom but rather a **** sharing service included by LG so that you can share your selfies to an LG Smart TV. I don't even have a smart tv and this service is ruining the use of this phone.

I don't use Smartshare at all, I have removed it via the Fluence HD patch. Also, why would anybody use such an App at all? Just share your screen via Chromecast and start some gallery app.
If you are rooted, you can also use the Fluence HD patch to debloat your device, or you can manually uninstall system apps with tools like 3C Toolbox (available via Play Store).
In case you aren't rooted, you should be able to at least freeze such useless apps.
This should work for you if you cannot root your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
Again it happens.

I don't use it. When I tried to rip it out I broke the gallery. It pop up at random times and just annihilates my battery. How do I know it's happening? I feel my pocket heating up as my battery hits 20%, in fact it just happened again and I haven't shared a single thing today from my phone. This is just a terrible piece of bloatware!
Also, I am on RomAur 1.1. Will that patch work for my Rom?

Since you are rooted, you can use 3C Toolbox/ Titanium Backup/ something similar to deinstall it. If it breaks the LG gallery, so what? Install another gallery and call it a day.

I'm on RomAur too and have had all the SmartShare apps frozen with Titanium Backup from day 1, no issues with my Gallery at all.
There are 4 SmartShare apps listed in TiBu - all 4 are frozen and Gallery still works. Maybe try TiBu yourself
Victory! So far...

I just took another swing at it and it works. This time it looks like it didn't wreck the gallery, even after reboot. LG really dropped the ball with that little gem.
