Best photo gallery app? Or: how to revert to Sense gallery?

I'm using Fresh 1.0.1. I downloaded the Vanilla apps, and apparently there is no way to un-install them. I'm happy with vanilla lock screen and vanilla clock. But I do not like the new gallery. I wish I could go back to sense.
So my next best option is to just get a new photo gallery app from the market. But I can't really seem to find one.
Any suggestion?

flikie with 3d gallery add-on

I'm using Fresh as well. For me, I just freeze Launcher Pro using Titanium. (You must have full version) When it completes the "freeze" and you hit the home screen it should ask you what you want to use, ie. Sense, Launcher Pro, Android Mate. Select Sense with the "remember" option and you should be set. You can change back by un-freezing.
A word of warning- if you upgrade Launcher Pro or Flipz drops in a new version and you un-freeze a older version you may go into a FC loop.

EDIT: I posted in the wrong thread! sorry.
But since I did, i might as well be somewhat useful. I was linked here by this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729888
its a thread to find replacement apps for cyanogen vs sense. I very much dislike the "3d gallery" provided by cyanogen. I like a simple file viewer. problem is, if I use something else to browse my files, and click "set as wallpaper" it seems to be conflicted with the 3d gallery program. I then went in to system/apps and removed 3d gallery, but now i cannot set ANY wallpapers. any ideas?
EDIT: Ok.. I think i'm just on crack... everything is working as I want it to now... who knows. I usually screw up more than I care to admit

Scoll and scoll some more, why you get a ton of themes before you get the actual launcher, despite searching for "ADW launcher" I don't know. It's there as I've got it.

It is on the market. It's just that the market is Flooded with ADW themes and stuff, it's nearly impossible to find it.
Do this, Search ADW. Click on ANY app made by Anderweb. Scroll down and choose "View more Applications"
You will now see ADW.Launcher.

Got it searching anderweb, again though install unsuccessful. only apk i found was a modded sense style one went on no probs but couldnt change the theme

Well, I also found it was quite tricky to search for it...
but here you are!
just use the barcode, I'm sick of searching through market.
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-adw-launcher-FEjB.aspx

Hmm. I have installed it myself and it is working...
I have a x10a device, with the Global 2.1 FW to x10i. Shouldn't make a diff though. Makre sure you have removed all other ADW instances and clear the SD card for anyt trail folders, reboot and try again.

See attachment, what's on mine and works with my theme, but one or two icons will stay default, so you need to open your framework-res and figure out their new names.

Hmm still wont install, ust says application was not installed! annoying stick with launcherpro i think
not sure if im liking this forum theme change...

if you rooted your 2.1 X10 you need to the market Fix for it to work.
I use the SuperOneClick root with market fix

I didn't have to, just searched the Market and installed it.

I just wanted to know is there any benefits from using a launcher now that I'm on 2.1, I use to use ADW before so I can have more pages but now that we officially have 5 I'm not sure now

A Few App Recommendations

Just a few recommendations for people who haven't stalked the market lately. I'd highly recommend checking these out.
1. Amazon Appstore - Google it, it's not available on the Google market but from the amazon website instead. Gives away a paid app for free every day and it is very seriously awesome. I now have WidgetLocker, SwiftKey keyboard, Angry Birds Rio Adfree, Soundhound Unlimited, and more. All for free.
Amazon Mp3 - Now includes a music player and widget, and both are seriously cool. Go to the Amazon site and sign up for the Amazon Cloud for free and you'll get 4 gigs of free storage that you can store music in and play from the Amazon Mp3 music player.
Go SMS Pro - The new version of the go sms app. Blazing fast, great popup, widget, sms backup features, beautiful themes. It's the complete package really, and runs perfect on the Hero.
Launcher Pro Plus - There is a new unlock key for the full version for those who don't use Paypal. The latest version has a few new transition effects that run very well on the latest Gingerbread roms. Launcher Pro Plus is the all around best Launcher on the market as far as I'm concerned. Very stable, very fast, very smooth, and very customiseable. And has a great backup feature for flash addicts
Edit: A few more to add to the list
JAMT CM7 Themes - Search for the black and white versions on the Google Market. Free and paid are both very good, the best I've seen so far I think. I bought the pro white version simply to support the dev, the free version is basically the same minus battery percentage in the status bar
Quickpic - It's been mentioned in a lot of threads but it still needs some more attention I think. A brilliantly fast and smooth alternative to the stock gallery
Sleek Camera - For CM7 users this app is a must have to improve camera quality. The only other app I've found that comes close is the flashable zip Miui Camera(not the apk version) which will not work with 3.0.2.4 Clockworkmod. A must have in my opinion.
Opera Mobile Browser - Bigger and badder than Opera Mini and any other browser. Probably not to popular with minimalist fans but this browser is a very pretty and solid browser with a great development team. The latest version has a new ui and is very stable in my experience

i was taking a stroll down memory lane and have been using a stock sense rom and had the amazon app store installed. i just flashed CM7, do you know if i can reinstall the apps i downloaded for free without any problems?

Yep, shouldn't be a problem. Just log back in to your amazon account and they'll be on your apps list to reinstall. I've done a full wipe to test it.
Edit: As well, all apps from the Amazon Appstore are upgraded from the Appstore so as far as I know, there should be no issues between it and the Google market.

sweet just did and had no problems at all. as a bonus, i was actually able to install angry birds rio this time around on gingerbread.

Thanks OP,
I agree with all your apps youve posted but i have yet to try the amazon app.
If i may... i'd like to reccomend a few as well...
..if you are really into music (like i am) and have lots of gigs on your pc (i have about 500 gb) then the app {Audiogalaxy} is a MUST.
For all the music on your phone and a sweet-arse EQ you gotta have {PowerAmp}. my fav.
{Flow} for a flawless facebook experience. way better than the regular FB app, but not themed all purdy-like from our guys here at XDA. maybe soon??
...for an awesome clock/weather/system-info Widget, look no further than {FlipClock Blue Magic Dark}
{Music Junk} for downloading that song that just popped into your head.
{LCD Density Changer} i believe it changes the dpi of your screen.
{rootExplorer} my favorite file manager.
{Tweetcaster} my fav twitter app next to TweetDeck. has a killer blue themed interface and sweet Widget.
and i use {YouMail} for my voicemail needs and i have no complaints. i really like how you can change what greeting plays if the incoming call is either blocked/unavailable/or someone specific.
...and my favorite Camera App has got to be {Vignette}. it has sooo many filters/effects and takes the best looking pics imo. better than MIUI i think.
thanks XDA

I'm using a new SMS app called GeekSMS that popped up today. Minimalist and sleek, I dig it.
I agree about the Amazon Appstore. There are a lot of haters but yesterday Wolfram Alpha was free. Can't complain about the quality free apps of the day.
I really like GO SMS but I'm using Geek SMS, it's less weighty.

If you back them up with Titanium, they'll reinstall no problem when you flash a new or different rom.

Gotta say, that app is pretty unbelievable. I'm having problems getting the popups to work but it is very very fast. Very stable too, no force closes at all and loads fast too. I'm probably going to uninstall Go SMS for now and try out Geek for a few days

->For those who can't get it work straight, uninstall previous version, then install the new one and it should work.
->If not,
1. Use Root explorer, go to /system/app
2. Mount the system to r/w.
3. Copy/Paste and Replace apps to /system/app folder
4. Now press & hold app and select Permissions
-tick all boxes in the first column
-tick top box in the second column
-don't tick any box in the last column
5. Reboot, you're done !

Thanks... launcher apk work very fine and smooth.

Hey, as an aside, this isn't actually the ICS launcher. It's one that has been put together to look like it. It's available in the market here https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.SyndicateApps.ICSv2&feature=search_result
Ta,

Lol epic fail...
That launcher isn't nearly as good as the actual ics one. I'm surprised it fooled so many people.

arrr...i was excited when i saw launcher...but that's not the official one.

Still like the look-a-like launcher and will probably keep it until the real one is posted...
//Static

The launcher is really convincing, you people should try it, really fast and smooth

The launcher looks nice, and it's very smooth, but sometimes it crashes in the app menu (you have to install default music player I guess). I know it's not even the real one ported, but it looks kinda' nice.

the launcher & APP is just for SE stock??

[Q] (Q) Can I change the app launcher in a theme?

I'm not sure I am asking this correctly. but I am on tweakstock 2.0 with the BlackNBlue theme (by Stranula). I was using CoreDroid (by ztkryan) and liked it but there are few things about BlackNBlue that I like prefer. However, I love the vertical scrolling 3D looking app launcher in CoreDroid (pic). Is there a way to keep BlackNBlue but use the app launcher screen from CoreDroid? If so, how do I do that. (also, I am not sure launcher is the correct term but didn't know what to call it). Thanks.
EDIT: FYI, This question has been answered.

You simply install it and when you hit the home button, you'll get a choice of launchers. Pick the one you want (and set to default if you desire). However, if I'm not mistaken, CoreDroid uses EclipseLauncher2, which is only available in Eclipse or that theme. If you save the .apk off, you may be able to install it and use it, but I won't swear to that. You might want to try Go Launcher EX from the Play Store. You can customize it to look and act pretty much exactly like EclipseLauncher.

It was a bit of a surprise to me, but the CoreDroid launcher looked the same when I was on Eclipse 2.0 as it did when I tried the Coredroid for tweaked over the weekend. I just wasn't sure that the launcher had it's own .apk file. Does anybody know the name of the launcher in CoreDroid for Tweaked? or where I look to find it if I go back to CoreDroid temporarily.

This does work shrike. Just copy EclipseLauncher2.apk, put it on your SD card and install via RootExplorer. I used the one in ROM Toolbox Pro. It's a pretty dang good launcher if you ask me.

It's the EclipseLauncher2 from Eclipse 2.0 and from the CoreDroid theme in Tweaked 2.0.

I wasn't sure either. I just thought I'd try it out and it worked. I did however have an interesting expericence when I installed the CoreDroid theme over the blacknblue theme with EclipseLauncher2 running on the blacknblue theme. When my phone rebooted my status bar was gone and I had no homescreen because the EclipseLauncher kept on force closing relentlessly. I had to install Tweaked over the top and start over. I'm guessing that this was because the CoreDroid theme already uses EclipseLauncher2 and the old one that I had running on the blacknblue theme became corrupt when I installed CoreDroid. Y'all might not ever experience this, but just in case, this is a heads up!

Thanks to all. I installed using CWM. Seems to work fine. I didn't realize it would take over my Home screen as well so I back to the 3 screens when I prefer just one but its kind of neat having both of them as an option.
