Hi
the image quality in 3d gallery when i zooming is very bad
pixels are very big
the thumbs resolution is low and the image on zoom have bad quality
any idea for improve quality or increase thumb resolution ??
TNX , Sorry for my bad english
Sometime the gallery screws up the cache..
inside your SD there is a folder that holds those thumbnails as cache.
You just need to delete that folder and open the gallery to re-cache.
it should be solved.
Some galleries get confused or make a error or gets confused by other similar gallery apps.
unless the pic you are viewing is just.... small.
thank you for reply
but this is not my problem,all thumbs have good quality in normal size ! but when im zoom quality .......
what is folder name ??
is there any way to use 3d gallery whiteout thmbs ?use original photos ??
You are not making sense, it sounds like you are zooming the thumbnails.
When I zoom a pic the quality is fine.

Mediascape an default gallery have bad zooming. Zoomed images are blurry.
My solution to this was downloading the free gallery application QuickPic. Picture quality at it's best.
Try it.
Yeah ok what ever... but i use "high def" only so it's pointless.
But thanx.. ok.. is this a spam bot?

Quickpic is the DAMN BEST!!! So fast, extreme high quality!! 3D gallery doesn't stand a chance.
Ive been using Quickpic for a long time now....I could never go without it. There isn't one other gallery app available that can stand up to it.
Thank you man
Quickpic is good app and it creates maximum resolution thumb from pic
But has not graphically effect like 3dgallery

actually you don't really benefit from 3d gallery other than 3d eye candy, but at the end of the day you just want your images to look fantastic rather than your gallery.
I think the 3d gallery was like the one that came with the ipad, its rather eye candy than useful. IMO only.
Indeed Quickpic is very cool. The old Sony Ericsson phones had some cool music player and gallery. I meen the series like C905, or w810. It seems they don't make it like they use to.
Quickpic is fantastic, cheers.

Hi all,
Not sure if this happened just after the update to the 24 firmware, as I only just noticed it... but have you noticed that images do not zoom properly in mediascape...?? - it's like a crappy 'digital' zoom on a low resolution image (probably one reason why photos taken by the camera always look so crap - because Mediascape does not display them in their full beauty)
Let me give you an example:
The wallpapers here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6994126&postcount=1 look great as a wallpapers... nice HD image, stretched all the way to the edges of my screen... However, if I view the same image in Mediascape it shows up with an actual size of about 1x1 inch, and if I zoom in, instead of getting a nice HD image, I get exactly what you'd expect if I zoomed in on a thumbnail - a horribly compressed looking jpeg.
Is this a new issue? was Mediascape always awful like this? is there a fix...?
Bump.... anyone?
Yes I noticed the same thing on the 20 software as well. Pictures look great when set as background, but viewed in Mediascape they look all blurry, very annoying!

Is there any good image viewing SW out there... usually, if I take a photo, I'll zoom in close, just to make sure it's not too blurry, and nice and crisp - currently I can't do that.
nothing worse than taking a good photo, and finding it just looks awful when blown up.
Astro has a 'better' image viewer, and while you can't zoom in, at least it's not showing a horribly compressed image.

SE probably did this so you can fling between pictures very quickly (this was first introduced on 020). However in order to make it so 'quick' they had to compress the pictures a lot.. Bunch of amateurs really..
I suggest you download JustPictures from the market. It is as fast as Mediascape, you can do the 'one-finger-zoom' and the images remain sharp.
Thanks for that - Just Pictures works a treat.
Cheers
The Gallery app on our phone doesn't increase the detail of images after you pinch to zoom. Does anyone know of a way to fix this or a different gallery app that will do this properly?
If you view pictures directly from the camera app, it shows the full resolution of the photo when you zoom in (but its slow to pinch to zoom). If you do it from the gallery app, it just scales a lower resolution rendering of the photo to fit the screen, but it doesn't actually re-render the image at full resolution (but its very smooth). I'm looking for something that works like the iPhone's gallery app, which scales as you zoom so that the interface is smooth, but once you stop at a certain zoom level, it re-renders the image in a higher resolution (aka best of both worlds).
Just curious, which rom are you running?
I'm running JI6 Froyo. I noticed the same issue on JH7 as well...
It would appear he is correct! Even on a 5MP picture of the underside of my car, I can't get any more detail then I do looking at it normally.
I experience the same thing; my gallery also takes its sweet time to notice new images from downloads or edits in Photoshop. I suspect most of these anomolies are due to the beta Froyo I've been running since it was leaked.
Gallery just sucks , it always had crappy zoomed quality with no details , Be it my Nexus one with eclair -> froyo to Cappy eclair -> froyo.
Its as if your watching thumbnails and not actual pictures.
There was modified gallery a while ago in Nexus one forums not sure if its still around, supposed to be better then default one.

Dunno why camera shots are coming out low res (I'd imagine that it's just the gallery program that sucks), but downloaded photos on JI6 are automatically resized to 305x203.
I actually remember reading some article a while back that talked about this issue (the gallery being low-res), and mentioning that this is by design. Apparently the developers decided that UI speed is more important than photo quality. I wish I still had the url to that article..
Also, forget searching for 'gallery' in the market. All the search results are retarded wallpaper/mostly naked girl spam. I wish spamming the market with valueless programs was a hangable offense.
Have you guys tried the apk from HERE? I have it loaded and while it does load alot slower it does seem to be higher res. Give it a shot, You will have to copy over the current APK in system/app with something like Root Explorer, or uninstall the gallery then try to install. I could not get it to install but coping worked great
I also remember reading an article that explained that the Gallery purposefully did not display images in their native resolution.
There is a free application in the Market called, "Floating Image" that will display images from any folder of your choosing as well as Flickr, Picase and Facebook in a floating collage of pictures. You can then tap on one and use multitouch to zoom in on the photo in it's full resolution.
I use it to display my camera roll as it allows me to see my photos in much more detail as opposed to the built in Gallery that I can't stand. The only issues that I have with it are that it stutters a little bit when using the high resolution thumbnail option and that it cannot see hidden folders.
I think the gallery is opengl-based and it treats photos as textures, which are limited to 1024x1024 res.
If you don't mind losing the 3d effects, download an app called JustPictures!. It's now my default photo viewer. You can double-tap to zoom to actual size or pinch-zoom. It's fast and free.
Bonus: slideshow live wallpaper
Did some searching and found an article that talks about the issue:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2362605,00.asp
Apparently Google chose the cool 3d gallery instead of better image quality. Its clear to me why lowering the image quality is wroth it for making things smooth, but I don't know why the app can't render more detail after you zoom in. Anyway, JustPictures! works pretty good and does show better details. Its a bit slower (and the stock gallery isn't particularly fast), but it gets the job done. I wonder if JustPictures! is the best solution out there or if there are other apps worth checking out as well...
Previous posters are correct that the lower image quality is part of how the program was built. However, there is an article on this site that has a link to the HTC gallery version which can improve the quality, but still is not truly 1 to 1 quality, jest better than stock.
Why did (the dev) put the gallery apk in ROM ... Lots of people do not like this (slow and so on) Why don't they put JustPicture! instead ... ? It's a "break yo legs" apk !
Give it a try ! And tell me what apk are you currently using as picture viewer...
gallery is indeed slow (even though it creates thumbnails) and buggy (sorting bugs, zooming sucks)
unfortunately, JustPictures! doesn't show videos (i take both pictures and videos, i need to see them in the list)
quickpic (though not perfect because it's still slow) is my choice right now
I agree with quickpic because for me its way fast and loads the thumbnails almost instantly. Even on my epic it was fast. I just use root explorer and delete the stock 3d gallery. Its slow and its just taking up space on the phone.

+1 for quickpic, it works great for me!
+1 for QuickPic!
quickpic all day, hides folders, shows videos, plays gifs, can select certain folders so i dont have 100 different folders of album art, and stupid fast compared to 3d gallery app

Because many users have pictures stored on Picasa, and the 3D Gallery from Google is accessing them directly. Another thing is that there are no issues when applying wallpapers or dock and icons.
Hi there youknow that there isnt zoom in gingerbread nexus s and i want to know will there be in ice cream sandwich?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I don't think there will be.
There should be. Currently sent my Nexus s for repair so cant check but i watched a video demo in youtube and i think i saw there is zoom.
No, camera zoom will not be present in ICS but if you really want it Get Camera Zoom FX from market, it has digital zoom.

That's the only kind of zoom you're going to get on a mobile phone in the near future. It's called digital zoom, and that's what pretty much all mobile phones (including Galaxy Nexus) have.
I think the feature will be available to only capable devices as far as i know our Nexus doesn't support zooming although it might be possible that in ICS they implemented digital zoom which is of less quality
There's no point in a digital zoom, you're simply cropping a section of a picture.
Without a lens that can zoom, there's no point in zooming.
I thought it was confirmed that the base firmware reports to the rest of the system that camera doesn't support any type of zooming, including digital on the Nexus S.
The Galaxy Nexus does though. Sometimes digital zoom is better than no zoom when you want to quickly focus on a particular subject and that you don't want to fiddle with desktop editing software.

I try a lot of camera apps to replace the stock one (very slow under my point of view) and finally I found the best one: Camera JB+
It works like a charm, very fast, with very cool animation effects and working photos and videos without problems, I recommend you 100% for our Galaxy R:

Yes buddy....It's one of the best that's available..For an alternate, i suggest Camera Zoom FX.
Pros of Camera JB+:
Nice UI
Assign Hardware keys for Focus + Shot
Easy accessible controls
Nice animation after taking a shot that moves to the gallery (Almost like a Iphone camera. I like this much)
Panaromic shots
Associated gallery
Cons of Camera JB+:
It doesn't have the setting to change the Metering Mode
I will try Camera Zoom FX then, it seems cool.
Tks selva!
