Replacement Gallery Options? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Has anyone got good suggestions for a replacement Gallery for the SGS2?
I find the installed one very irritating as it annoyingly snaps the columns of pictures to the centre of the screen and its sometimes hard to get the column I want!

Okie dokie... I found QuickPic on the Market which seems OK.
Any better suggestions?
Would another phone's gallery work? MIUI, Moto, Sense?

I use Quickpic and it works awesome for me.

Look for a good photo widget

I've been searching for a good photo widget to put on my home screen (im using launcher pro)
I can't seem to find a good one on the market. I am pretty much looking for one that is kinda like the HTC Sense UI one with the photos and you can set it to click on their pic and it takes you to their contact page.
basically looking for one that has somewhat large pics(at least the size of the sense one) and it goes to the contact view when pressing..
Doesn't seem like much to ask but I havent found one yet.
Anyone?
For anyone not running sense and miss the contact pic widget check out Picture Dial on the market.

Dump slow photo gallery

I dont know if are like me and HATE the stock photo gallery for HTC and vanilla android. I hate it and have been looking for a viable replacement since I got this damn phone. Boy have I finally found what I been looking for.
The app is called Quick Pic and its on the market. Its is everything the stock should be and more. You have the ability to hide certain folders within the app or hide them from all apps. Its quick and hasnt froze yet! Search for it !!! Its amazing!

Very nice find, and thanks for sharing. I've been looking for something as awesome as this.

Stock android Dialer and Contacts app?

I just got the sensation today. (I'm coming from nexus one running cyanogenmod). There's really only a few things about sense 3.0 that I like. The camera app, the lockscreen, some of the widgets, and the quick notification widgets (although I like cm7's implimentation MUCH better). Anyways I'm hoping that once the bootloader gets unlocked we'll be able to get cyanogenmod on it, but until then is it possible to get a few stock apps on the sensation?
The only things from sense I'd maybe like to keep in a more "stock rom" would be the camera app and the lockscreen. Everything else I don't really care for. =\
I want the these apps.
* Dailer
* Contacts
* Gallery
U don't like the smart dialer? It's leagues better than the stock dialer...

I made the same transition as you. At first I hated the dialer and contacts, but they've grown on me.
However that gallery does suck total nuts. You can go in the market and download gallery 3d which is (as far as i can tell) the standard gallery you're used to. I'm using it and it feels right at home.
I absolutely can't wait until we can have CM7.1 on this thing.
Also.. is it just me... or are you totally missing the trackball? I keep trying to adjust the cursor with it when editing text just to get disappointed that it's not there...

No...I hate it. I've accidentally called the wrong person already because it doesn't ask if I want to call. Also it isn't showing contacts pictures when calling? Wtf? It just looks ugly to me compared to the stock android dialer. The contacts app is worse. AOSP contact app is so much simpler looking and just all around better.

I hate the gallery app, it sucks so much. Also i've taken a few pics that auto upload to google+ and it shows the date it was taken as jan 1st 1970. WHatttt?
I've only had it for 8 hours so far, and i've already done that at least a dozen times. I used the trackball just for going back a little to make corrections. Going to take a bit to get use to, but in time I will.
I can't wait for CM7.1 on the sensation. Sense to me is just ugly. I like gingerbread's status bar, and the notification widgets in cyanogenmod so much better than sense...It's ugly. Also I don't see the point of putting the recent apps in the pull down bar....
Good thing for launcherpro plus
I am also hunting for the AOSP style dialer...initially when the MT4G came out and was rooted you could just push the contacts/dialer apk to system/app and change the permissions and it would work. I have had no such luck with the Perma-Temp root on the Sensation...

I'm in the same boat here and can't stand the dialer or gallery. Thanks for the tip on Gallery 3d Picked this phone up because it looks and feels just like a larger faster version of the N1 and I figure it will be rooted sooner or later.

I guess it just comes down to what you're use to. I'm use to the 3d gallery because I've had the n1 since launch. I'm trying out quick pic though. Anything is better than the gallery app on the sensation. Sense really has left me a bit underwhelmed. The only things i'd want to keep from sense is the lockscreen and the camera app.

your right. I had n1 at launch too. I wanted to like the gallery cause it looked cool, but didn't function that well. Plenty times I has to reboot just for a pic I just took to show. I found Quick pic and been using it since
Lol @ that 3D gallery. I hated it on my MT4G and this gallery is cool IMO. Didn't like Touch Wiz on the Vibrant or Sense on the MT4G........flashed a 3.0 rom and loved it. So I bought a Sensation. I'm just curious to know why buy something you already know you don't like? To each their own.

Full screen Gallery widget??

Hi,
Does anyone know of a full screen Gallery widget that is available for the Note?
There was one on my HTC Desire that was really nice, you could scroll through the photos on any folder without leaving the front screen.
Doesn't seem to be one about, and the stock pictures widget is rather poo!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
I've been looking for something like this for a very long time, and the closest I've found is one of the widgets in SPB Software's launcher app. You can only run it while using that launcher though, and that kinda sucks...
I miss this from my HTC Hero days. How come no developer thought about it?

Background Pic Not Scrolling?

Is this a new feature of the newer GB releases? I'm running dman's stock tweaked ROM over Entopy's 4.4.12 Kernel. I seem to remember them scrolling before. I have the home screens scrolling over a picture that doesn't change to show more of the picture whether going left or right like it used to.
Normal? I think it is. It sucks, as it's hard to "setup" or crop a picture correctly using Gallery to get it to come out right.
Thanks for tolerating newbness.
Idk but switch launchers if it's bugging you...
No scrolling is part of TW I think... at least on the note it is...
Switched launchers and solved my problem

Yeah, unfortunately, wallpaper doesn't scroll by default in UCLB3 Gingerbread. That can be fixed by using the TW3 launcher from an earlier release that still had wallpaper scrolling, or by using another launcher.
Thanks guys.
I'll track down another launcher. Recommendations?
