(REQ) Gallery alternative - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

Is there an alternative to 3d gallery for aosp? I have lots of pictures and 3d gallery takes way to long to load. I looked on the market and couldn't find one. Thanks in advance.

Search for gallery 2d, its really the only alternative.

Wow. OK well thank you. I can't believe we only have 2 options to view pictures. I would think there would be tons of them! But I guess the coding is still a little new so I'm hoping some day that will improve

OK I found one that works well with aosp. But I can't upload it because I'm mobile. If anyone is interested hit me up and I'll get it to you.

Here you go, straight from jaybobs vanilla build.
2D gallery and camera hacked to open 2d gallery instead of 3d.
If you want to use this you'll have to do:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
adb pull /system/app/camera.apk*
adb pull /system/app/gallery3d.apk*
then
adb push camera.apk /system/app/camera.apk*
adb push gallery.apk /system/app/gallery.apk*
then
adb reboot recovery
The * = corresponding file names, I may be slightly incorrect. Im downloading the files now and will upload shortly.
Also to mention, you could simply delete the stock camera and gallery with a file explorer that has root (ala root explorer) but you NEED to push the new files over. Wouldnt hurt to do a fix apk uid mismatches afterwards either, which is why I added the code to reboot to recovery.
Edit: If adb is foreign to you just pm me
Edit Edit: Not that it matters now, but I used the pull command in the code above instead of remove.

to be honest i dont think its because the coding is still new, i think its because the gallery 3d looks like the first thing google didnt simply throw together to make an interface. Since they put time into it, it looks nice and is very usable contrast this with the music player for example and it seems obvious why everyone and their uncle has an alternate one, it simply looks cheap while functional it isnt very classy looking
thats just my .02 cents on it anyway

Agreed.
The 2d gallery is a little bland as well (whats up with the goldish color???) but I actually like the layout of it better myself.

oh i agree, i like the 2d gallery better myself infact i will prolly edit and reflash aospMod with those included for myself very soon potentially with my theme built into it.
in this respect this is where i think senseUI is superior their camera and gallery apps are awesome, i just wish in order to use them i didnt have to get the rest of their bloatware that i never use to go with it

Camera and Gallery were nice, and the fb pictures were so easy... when you didnt end up with triples and everybody from your friends list on your phone...
I like Sense, but I like Vanilla more.
I will say I'd rather have Sense than TouchWiz or Blur.

You can try JustPictures! from the market - free. It's not great, but alright.

I use "Large Image Viewer (AppBrain Link)" sometimes as an alternative.
Otherwise I just stick with 3D Gallery seeing as it doesn't give me too many problems.
Even though I have easily over 30 directories (including sub directories that load on the main screen) each with 10+ images, some with over 100. All different sizes ranging from theme/icons for ninja/metamorph to full blown wallpapers @ 1920x1200pix

I hated this problem. In fact, because of it, i just spent $13 on a class 10 micro sd card at newegg.com and voila! problem solved (yes the hero is capable of writing/reading at class 10 speeds)

Yup! When i first got my class 10 it took a few minutes to cache everything but now all my pics load in under 15 secs (and i have over 700 pics) before this, i had a sorry class 2 card that took AGES to load, even when chached. Thank god those days are over

That's the exact same thing I ripped out of Jaybob's build and attached above.
I just also attached the camera that links to 2d gallery instead of 3d for those that want to use it permanently.

[REQUEST] Take Desire Camera to Cyanogen?

As it says really.
I tried the Desire ROM for a brief period today and I've got to say the Camera/Video app is gorgeous.
Love the wide screen and face recognition.
I'm presuming this ISN'T a HTC app so it can be ported across?
Anyone willing to try?

wow lol. you think megapixel has anything to do with anything lol! 80% of the time you noobits make me laugh. the camera.apk is supported with multiple framework images and htc's custom files. Theoretically it is possible to build their code and images onto our framework and merge some necessary files but it will take tons of time and knowledge. So I'm basically saying it wont happen anytime soon and when it does you should donate to the genius who did it!

Yo Hero what is your problem calling me a noob. I don't know Java, one of you biggest fan but keep talking down to your fans and you will end up fan less.
Do you know what?
I wouldn't care anyway. the camera is never going to be brilliant and I bet it would be difficult to tell the difference.
Shame it would be so complicated though.
re: the Camera - no flash or 5MP support yet. Altho, having snooped around, it does support Cameras up to 8 Megapixel! Still investigating...

This is per Paul in the Desire thread. SOOOO, the camera is MUCH better all around, not just with it's face recognition, etc...
Its file from Desire ROM. Try to install.
But I like 2.1 stock cam better.

My bad bro I truly am sorry. I just have alot of pent up rage from modaco. That guy ticks me off. Just try not to answer questions with false info yanno what i mean. but on-topic i have just tried porting framework.jar,easopen,pimlib,and htc.resources with proper permissions and correct .apks and it does not seem to get past the 1st boot screen. will post back later with newer results. btw I really just want my HTCMusic.apk!!!!
You can definitely see the difference. The biggest one is usability. Then for lower light shots, you can use a manual ISO settings instead of the automatic one, I tried it with ISO200 and there was almost 0 noise compared to the automatic ISO. Then you have click to focus and automatic face detection + more.
HTC Camera on Cyanogen will be awesome.

[Collection] 715 + Wallpapers Resized for Evo (960x800)

Okay, I know there are a bajillion wallpaper sets out there, but I thought I'd share mine. If anyone is interested in zip-file downloads rather than browsing through my dropbox, I'll post some zips.
All of these are wallpapers I've come across for my desktop. I tend to lean toward the cleaner, more minimal side when it comes to walls, but there's a little variety in there.
I'm aware there are a few duplicates, I haven't had the time to go through them all. I plan on adding more as I have the time.
I'll also note that none of these came from Zedge, Flikie, or any other wallpaper app. Some of these may be found on there, I don't know because I don't use them. Point is, I resized them myself, so it won't be redundant if you use those apps.
Only a few of these wallpapers were made by me, the vast majority were made by other, more talented, individuals.
Anyway, enjoy!
Wallpapers HERE!
Okay, I finally reuploaded the zips through megaupload. I split it into two sets instead of one... I can't remember the logic behind doing so at the moment, but it is what it is.
Set #1: 302.51mb --> Walls 001-500
Set #2: 245.71mb --> Walls 501- 868
DISCLAIMER: You won't find any (half naked chicks, automobiles, evil clowns, or whatever you guys are into. Sorry. I'm not a girly girl, so no pink or unicorns or care bears, but it's all fairly gender-inspecific.
04/30/2011: Added 153 to the dropbox gallery. A lot of landscape/nature walls with other stuff mixed in.
10/31/2011: I've been working on these slowly and adding them to Photobucket. I have around 4000 total (eek!) and I don't think Dropbox will allow for the amount of space I'd need to upload them all. Photobucket = unlimited storage for free, so I went with that. I only have a portion of them uploaded over there, and I separated them into subfolders based on my tastes. However, what I like may differ from what you like, so glance at all of them. I'll try to add tags so they can be browsed that way (I've tagged a couple, but not enough to matter), but my free time is limited. Many of those on Photobucket aren't in the zips or on Dropbox, so check out the new ones here.
Awesome.... Thank you for this. You can never have too many options for walls
id love to have the zip if you have it! thanks alot and great work!!

I'm not a "bro", I'm a girl/woman (ughhh, "woman" makes me feel so old), but no worries. I get it all the time online. Luckily, there's no confusion in real life.
Annnnd, I should have known I couldn't upload a 450mb file to xda, so I'm uploading the zip to my dropbox. Once it finishes syncing/uploading, I'll post the link here. I feel like there's a way to get the link to download the entire gallery folder as a zip, but for the life of me I cannot find it.
My computer says 1 hour left on the upload. What is up with my connection? Oh well, as soon as I get the link I'll post it here.
Oooh. I'm sorry xD

Oh an FYI to anyone else -- my browser couldn't tell the size of the download. Just be forewarned, it's big (I mean of course it's big, it's 700+ wallpapers!).
Total download was 447.28 MB.
Thanks a bunch! It's hard sometimes finding good wallpapers. So many of them are full of artifacts or are just too small. You'd be surprised how many people seem to think a 480x800 phone needs a 480x800 image as wallpaper.

Oops, I totally forgot to warn about the size. I'll add it to the original post in a minute. Yeah, I noticed when looking for wallpapers for my phone that some of them were wayyy too small, like 2/3 the size or less, so I stopped looking and just used my desktop collection. I resized them for more space on my sd card, but also for the convenience of everyone else. I like sharing

SPB mobile shell 5.0 beta

I have it working on my Droid x its awesome. But some apps that came with it don't work. Other than that the 3d ui looks great. Runs great. Is anyone else using this app? If so what do you think of it?
This has been labeled as warez in xda since it's a leaked beta. But I suppose people can talk about it as long they don't share the apk file..
I've played with it for a while but because I can't choose the default phone and browser app, I stopped playing with it. Also eats lots of ram.

I really doubt that's going to happen. SPB is a big company from what I understand (google them).
---
Anyways, I did try it out, but had to remove it since I kept getting unending "Activating..." and reloading.
But my impressions while I did use it were:
3D look very cool. But not especially useful.
Instant tap and click widgets very useful and great idea.
Lack of app drawer is undesirable.
It has some cool stuff, but isn't anything "groundbreaking" imo. SPB charged consumers about $30 for this on WM and Symbian I believe, doing the same on Android would be quite insane (considering it doesn't add any huge benefits like it did for those OS). I'm curious to see what they plan to charge, and it's something I could consider using as my default launcher... but nothing truly fantastic about it imo.
I used SPB at great lengths with my Windows phones. It was a resource hog, but it still ran smooth and looked awesome.
Didn't know they were actually working on Android...cool
Yep says its not compatible with my device.
works with the epic unfortunately.....

It takes forever to load on my Samsung I9000, but works well once it does. Amazingly smooth and the widgets look great. Could take some getting used to though!

[SOLVED] Can I Copy Spare Parts from CM7 to Infused?

What kind of problems would I be looking at if I copied/installed the Spare Parts apk from CM7 over to the Infused v2.0.2 ROM? Would it work or would it seriously screw me up? I'm only interested in getting it because I have screen density set to 200 right now and some of my apps don't fit the entire screen. I've found fixes on a couple of the apps, but not all. I remember on my Aria there was an option I chose in spare parts and it forced everything to resize. I think it was the compatibility mode setting. I don't want to install CM7 just yet. Waiting on bluetooth support.
BTW, I did search first but didn't find the answer in any other forum. However, my search-fu is kinda weak. lol
Thanks for any help!

The market version has advertisements added. Really shady if you ask me, taking a free open source app, putting ads into it, and then throwing it up on the market.

just to tell you, the Evo3D 3D camera is terrible. Well, not terrible, just... the 3D effect isn't as good as the Optimus3D. I've had a friend who took a 3D picture of me in 3D with flash and I took of him in 3D without flash. Both agreed that my picture was much better. And I tested out his 3D flash in a dark place. Trust me, it's not that good. When its light, Optimus3D has better 3D pictures. When its dark... the flash in the evo3D gives some light, but 3D effect is much much less too.
What I'm saying is, I wouldn't give up the excellent 3D image technology that LG has just for a tiny not useful brief of light from the Evo3D. Truthfully, the tiny flash isn't too helpful for the 3D. If you really want to take 3D pics in a DARK place, better to carry one of those huge and super powerful flashlights.
Sensation? Sense right? I was saying before how sense wasn't worth the time and effort to port. My reason is because, although its nice to look at, it also does drain more battery and takes up a lot of memory. Most of the people I know with Sense ended up switching to another launcher just days after using it. I'll admit that Sense looks BEAUTIFUL!!! But, after looking at it for a while, even pretty eyecandy gets tiring. The friend who had a Evo3D was very happy with Sense. However, he didn't feel anything special about it after about 3 days. I should also say that he quickly switched to Go Launcher EX after I showed him the Sphere transition effect in the app drawer. He hasn't regretted not using Sense yet. Don't think he will.
Porting a rom is possible, but a very long and complicated process. There's compatibility and stability issues to look at and fix. Its not worth the effort to do it especially when you think about how it'll be a never ending battle with bugfixes.
Personally, if you're just after gingerbread best to wait for LG to do it. People has waited this long, they can wait a bit longer. They've first announced the update to be in September I believe and then they announced that they'll delay it till this month or possibly next month for testing purposes. Just keep waiting, at least they tell you the reason its being delayed. Better than them just delaying the update for no reason. At the moment you know Gingerbread is almost here, but they're just at the stage where they want to make it as stable and bugfree before release. Personally, I feel that's much better than releasing some halfassed rom that has more problems than you can report. I'm sure some of you have been there. Haste makes waste right?
The testing stage for a product typically takes a long time. Some people spend months to test something before they release it. Its not like they can just develop something, throw it onto a phone, use it once then release it.
So, for those who are too impatient for the soon to come gingerbread release, my advice is just wait a bit more patiently. The more you rush them, the more unstable the release might be. Though, I believe most people are just upset due to an inferiority complex. Don't like to see that other people are getting a newer version of Android while their own is prehistoric. Don't worry too much about that, not like you'll always have the best and latest.
I agree to @DevJackey
moving from HTC Sense to other UI , it may take 2-3 days to adjust!
I am alive evidence of both HTC 3D EVO & LG-920 & LG-SU760 (special edition of LG 3D for SK Telecoms)
after several hours and capturing few pictures , I rushed back to shopkeeper to return the set and got back the LG 3D from him...Thanks God , I already experienced LG else could thought HTC EVE 3D is reality as best and this is how 3D works ... hehehehehehehe
LG works good even in room light. I think it just software issue and LG will release something to trigger FLASH in 3D. So better to wait for while , if LG will not do it , I am sure our XDA Developers are wonderful guys
First decide, What you want from 3D ?, 3D experience or UI (sense) + 3D Flash (and how many pictures you capture in dark)?
And don't forget the Real3D framework from LG. If you port the Evo 3D ROM you gain Sense and GB, but you lose Real3D, so no 3D app from LG will work on that ROM.
Thanks for your advice and also I say dark I Meen with my bed side lamp on but it just looks orange and grainy but I took a 2d image in the same lighting with flash and it was so much clearer
If your saying sense isn't that great can you maybesuggest a loader that uses little memory but Is sexy n smooth atm im using ice cream sandwich loader thanks

I suggest Go Launcher EX.
Wish I used it before I bought LauncherPro and ADW, but I guess the money's gone to a good cause.
Go Launcher is free. It's light. Its smooth. Its sexy.
A lot of themes on the market. Has its own Go Launcher Widgets that are pretty good.
Lots of customizations for the appearance.
Lots of beautiful transitions in both the homescreen and the app drawer. What stole my heart was the Sphere transition effect in the App Drawer when its in Horizontal Loop mode.
You could have folders support inside the app drawer and delete apps straight from it. There's a feature borrowed from iPhone where you can create folders and then drag apps and drop them onto those folders. Cool part is the app drawer transitions work inside the folders too.
Go give it a try, play with some settings, download a few themes, fall in love, have a happy romance, and enjoy the good life.
Since its free, no reason not to try right?
I think maybe I should work part-time as a App Promoter.

Screenshots: Sorry, since I just uploaded them to my dropbox account, I'll just provide links to there.
Home Panel. Its the panel that has the most widgets I guess... You can definitely see how the theme is.
App Drawer. Looks nice in the App Drawer too.
Fav Transition. Yup my personal favorite transition effect of Go Launcher is the Sphere.
Just incase you were wondering how come I have empty spots in my home panel...
