[Q] How to access Androids Standard 2.1 Gallery?

Hi guys!
Now that we have 2.1 and Androids nice gallery, is there any way to get a simple shortcut to the android standard gallery in the app drawer instead of Mediascape?
I know its there because some Apps that let you choose pictures for whatever reason use it and not Mediascape, but I have not found a way to simply open it from the app drawer...

i have found the APK for gallery but doesn't seem to work, have a play see if you can get it working?

No luck here...
dammn SE, could have at least given us a choice

Lol man just download ADW launcher and create a shortcut fot the Gallery activity
it actually works
people in this forum seem to surrender too easily

Or you could just add the Picture Frame widget to one of your home screens. Clicking the widget takes you to the 3D gallery.

Picture Frame takes you only to the 3D Gallery once and when u select the pic u want to use u cant go to gallery again just by clicking on PF widget. What to do then? I want that gallery and not mediascape

I swear I saw it one of the eary vids of 2.1 :s

Creating a shortcut to the gallery activity works nicely, thanks mate!
Would be nice to have it appear in the app drawer though...

But is it possible to get the shortcut over to the standard SE launcher in 2.1? I kinda liked the new default launcher, well compared to the old one in 1.6 :-D

Most of all because it looks more like ADW

stock music
IS THERE the stock music player in 2.1 or are we still stuck with timescape

I think its this app: http://www.cooliris.com/mobile/nexus-one/
I already tried to install it but it fails to update or start.

They are all there, just hidden that is all.
the APK's are sat in system/app/ in the root directory and the handset.
All you need to do is make a link to it and and you will have them there.

Oh thanks Chewitt, I didn't know there was a built-in media player in 2.1. That one works fine and is very fast! Fu mediascape

yeah its called Music.apk

ctrl folder gives you link o 3d gallery and a folder option

Also with LauncherPro
A. Now, that we have 2.1, I recommend using LauncherPro instead of ADW - it is much more powerful
B. As suggested for ADW - if you want to create a direct link for the original gallery APP and the original music app, just create activities shortcut (you will find the gallery and music apps in the activities list).

install either launcherpro/ADW dont set them as default home. turn off phone/restart select home and not either of the installs (launcherpro/ADW) you've done. now your in the standard home page select the shortcuts you want to drop on one of your 5 screens and its done. i've got the gallery/picture frame and music player, then uninstall launcherpro/ADW, your shortcuts will stay but the option to find them will be gone from the shortcut maker menu

i think this will work

or try the apk on xeviro's post

[Q] is there a way to take the widgets from launcher pro plus?

is there a way i can take the apk and look into it and take the widgets that are in there and turn them into apks that i could install and use? i really like the calendar and texting widgets but id like to try out some other home launcher while using the same widgets. is this possible?

Try downloading apps like pure messenger widget or pure calendar widget or pure news widget. They can be themed to look like the ones in sense ui, which is what the launcher pro ones are based off of.

I take it from you answer that there's no other way to use launcher pro plus's widgets in other launchers, right?

[Q] Widget like Sense Photo Album Widget

Hello Everyone!
I've got an HTC desire, and recently flashed Cyanogenmod. But, the only thing that I miss from Sense UI, is the photo album widget, the one where you could swipe away all your photos. Is there any identical alternative to that, or is it possible to install it into my new rom? Ive tried some Google Play widgets, but not quite the same as the Sense's one

No answer?? At least, tell me some widget that is very similar to it? Thanks

Replacement for photo gallery

Is there a decent replacement for the Sense photo gallery widget?
I'd like to get the flexibility and customisation of a different launcher, but I cannot find any gallery widget as good as the Sense gallery. Actually, I cannot find ANY photo gallery widget. I would have thought this would be a no-brainer; a way of accessing all your pictures from the home screen?
If only Quickpic did a widget.

I use Slideshow (Homescreen widget). It's the only one i found that works somewhat close to the Sense widget.

QuickPic.

Quickpic, I had it on my G2, but now find the stock hTc gallery to suit my needs just fine.

Easily the best alternative! :good:

As great as Quick Pic is, the original OP said he was looking for an alternative that has a good widget. He even says in the OP he wishes Quick Pic had a widget so he already knows about that app.

[Q] Looking for Picture Widget similar to that in JellyBean 4.1

Hello All,
Can someone please point me in the direction of a Picture Widget similar to the one in JellyBean v4.1
I really like how you can have the widget flip through images that are assigned in a gallery folder.
Now that I am using a 3rd party launcher I cannot access that particular widget goodness.
T.I.A.

Which one? Any screenshot?

Hello webharsh,
I dont have a screenshot at the moment.
I wasn't anything fancy just a built(stock) widget that was nearly the size of a homescreen, displaying only one image at a time. The coolness was being able to flip through the images.
T.I.A.

I have JB on my phone bu there is no fullscreen gallery widget.
Are you looking for Sense Gallery widget instead?

Auhhh that could be it.
Is it as I described?
T.I.A.

I don't know of any other widget which can give you almost full screen photo widget.
But give a try to android stock gallery widget from any AOSP ROM (or CM10/AOKP). They are pretty .

Thanks webharsh!

Try using CM based ROM (bruce JB or AOKP) if you haven't used yet. You will be thoroughly amazed .

Coo!
Thank you!

I think you are talking about "Photo Album" widget..
See the screenshot.
If this is the widget you are talking about, then sorry to say you can't have it on a third party launcher. It's a Sense based widget and can only be use with HTC Sense.

Thank you anasmunir!
That is the exact widget I was looking for.
Sadness to be so close an yet so far.
