(REQ) Gallery alternative

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.

i really just want motorola to stop with blur, they finally have their phones to a point where they dont break or lock up or power cycle constantly (heres looking at you every nextel they have ever made), and then they ruin it with that stupid software they use

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.

Best camera app?

Would love to know what you guys think is the best camera app. (I would also like it to work with the front facing camera)

The only app I know of that can use the front facing camera is Tango. Tango is for video calling, works like Qik.

Fx camera is free and really nice IMHO

vinnette seems to be the best at the moment

That app turned my crappy Milestone 2 camera into a quite decent one. So much I paid for it and I don't even use the effects you get when you buy the app.
Om my friend's SGS he didn't think it made much of a difference tho.

I really can't spot any difference between the stock camera app and the 3rd party ones. The only app that has made a difference for me was HDR camera, but you have to keep the phone steady (absolutely steady, not in your hands, it has to be on a support or something) for like 7 seconds. Its not very practical but if you're looking for the best qualitty it is for you.

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 didn't know that but I can't post links anyways. I can't wait for it to be out of beta. I might buy it.

Did you get the gallery app, weather page that comes with it to work?

Yeah i like the look of SPB more than Honeycomb. I hope its doesn't get bought by RIM like they did to TAT.

Its faster than ADW EX for me.

Anyone get it to work with the evo?

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.....

Does it say spb loading overtop of that?

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!

Is there a Camera upgrade app for the Camera on CM7?

I just installed CM 7.1.0 from MikG and the camera leaves much to be desired. There are few features/options, the UI feels like my original Droid and there are no special effects or ability to mute sounds like shutter and what not. Quite frustrating this past weekend when I was at a wedding and wanted to take lots of pictures but it was quite other than them reading their vows and what not and after taking only one picture I put my phone away because it was so loud. I miss the camera from MikG and wish I had the special effects like some of the newer camera versions. Can anyone help me out here? Prefer a Camera app that also has the video in it if possible. Maybe just a newer version of the stock Camera or ??
Thanks!

Here is the Miui camera.

Trying to avoid flashing another ROM right now because I'm pretty far on a game and last time I tried flashing a ROM the Titanium Backup didn't work & I had to start over again so I'm not looking to chance it again right now.

It will add a 2nd app. The miui camera is your best option, and its free. It's really good and works great with every aosp rom I've used.

Trying now....

Alright, installed it and LOVE it compared to the stock one included w/CM7. My only problem is that the effects list is missing the only one I would ever use and that's an HDR setting. Other than that I just need to figure out what all these settings mean. Burst? Shutter? Anti-Shake? Where's the user manual?

Thanks for the link but that thread pretty much only talks about how to focus a photo and how to focus on something that isn't centered. Not much discussion about anything else or any of the other settings.

Thanks for the information. I think I'm going to use the MIUI camera for the time being so no need to modify any files for the time being.

Well this is what I use on CM7 and this is the "FREE" version but they also have a paid version its better than the others i think. It starts with a grid but you can take it off in settings.

Same issue here as the newer's have the pano effect, etc. and are sweet.
As an alt to the miui one, you should checkout camera 360 also. Used to be a paid app, now free and has a lot of nice features ....

It's free now?!? I used that when it first came out years ago and loved it but the devs did some crazy crap (GREATLY reduced resolution of your photos and a few other things that I personally think is wrong) to the free version to get people to pay for it and so I abandoned it because I don't like those tactics. If it's completely free now then I'm all over that!

paper camera is cool.... its in the market

Is there any way for the MIUI camera to use the volume rocker as the shutter button? That's the only thing from the stock camera that I miss.

Bah! I hadn't yet noticed that. That was a great feature with the stock camera app and I hadn't yet tried the volume rockers. My single biggest gripe with this phone is a lack of physical camera button. PITA when you're trying to take a picture and you can't quite see the screen because of the angle.

A good gallery alternative?

I'm looking for a gallery to use as the stock one is terrible in my opinion. And it got even worse after the last update - no control over the albums. No options at all and ugly, scattered interface.
I tried google photos but it's not better... Tried a couple more from PlayStore which were also bad... I'm coming from LG and their gallery is amazing, but I couldn't run the .apk on OP6.
So, I'm curious to know if someone else here thinks the same and have found a better gallery app to use?

I have been using App Simple Gallery for the last few months. It serves my purpose, may be worth looking into that. It has a free version, try that first.
