Hi guys,
I basically just sold me SG S3 and swapped it for the HTC One S, which might I add, was a good decision! I'm by no means a power user and definitely rate the aesthetics and build quality from the One S over the power you get from the S3. Just my preference really.
Anyways. one thing that's bugging me with the One S, which is probably a HTC Sense thing.. But the Gallery app sucks! When using my S£ (and previously my Nexus S), I was able to view Picasa Albums as if they were stored locally. I.e. if I wanted to set a photo somewhere in my Picasa albums as a desktop image, I cannot seem to do it in HTC Sense.
Where as with my old Nexus S and SG S3, I was able to view the photos stored on Picasa as if they were local files and do with them whatever I could do with proper local files.
I can see my Picasa albums, by selecting "Albums" from the top-left dropdown and selecting "Picasa Web Albums", but cannot really do anything with the photos other than view them!
Anyone know why this is/what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Nik
I was having the same problem, even with the AOSP gallery on CM10 that's supposed to sync with Picasa. I found a version of the AOSP gallery somewhere on XDA that actually works though. Try searching around XDA or the Android Market for ICS gallery or maybe JB gallery or even sideload the gallery from your SGS3 backup if you have it...the version of the Gallery.apk that works for me is 1.1.30682...

Mediascape is good but i want a simple gallery app.
where can i get one?
any of the following will do:
-HTC Sense album
-1.6 Album stock
-3D Gallery
-A better gallery in the market
thanks.
PiQture; I've tried it, didn't like that much. Looking for a better one
photoSlide on the market. cool app
Ive tried the 3d gallery but it wont install on my x10. Ive put justpictures on which is pretty good but annoyingly scans every folder so even icons from my sat nav show up. Had to go through and exclude every folder except my pictures folder and now i like it. Id prefer if there was an otion to only look in certain folders though from the devs.
I would like the HTC gallery but cant seem ot get that installed either. Ive the HTC keypad installed on here so thought the gallery would be able to work too
I look for the same thing
Mediascape is painfully slow to browse pics.
I tried several apps but noone was good.
I didn't find PhotoSlide on the market?
Is it possible to use Android's stock one?

I am coming from a vibrant and I love having access to my picasa web albums in the main phone gallery. I can not find a way to do that on the MT4G. Anyone know if it is possible?
Thanks!

Nope it is not possible out of the box since sense comes with its own gallery app. you have to wait till someone port the Android gallery app for MT4G
its called Gallery3D, its free in the market. works just like the n1
I bought my Thunderbolt on launch day and have been waiting patiently for some custom ROM goodness. The one thing I really would like to have now is the Picasa sync in the gallery. I'm not sure if I can just download the 3D gallery apk and install it like any other apk and have it work. Anyone know if this is possible or do I need to root and such now? I was hoping to wait to root till things are a little further along and there were more options for doing so.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You just need the old gallery app thats on the market. Works with that.
I too would like to see some built in support to add Picasa sync to other things as well though. I was upset they pulled it
I just use + Gallery, works great and synced my Picasa albums. Free on market. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tml.media
I have the Picasso for HTC sense sync apk. I will post it when I am back on a PC. It will work natively with gallery. All my pics are on picasa too. Not sure why its not in by default.

Try JustPictures!, best gallery app imo and it syncs everything: Picasa, Flickr, Facebook, SmugMug, ...

I'd like to get a hold of that as well. I'm using a 3d gallery I got from I believe a nexus 1, and it works fine, but I'd like to use the native gallery.
EDIT: here's a link to the gallery I'm using. http://db.tt/zETbnJQ

picasa apk
here you go. this installs fine on the bolt. and works with the native gallery app too. enjoy
I wonder why HTC would leave this feature out? I'm going to try one of the other apps mentioned. I miss my pics!

Is this legitimate? The apk has a lot of permissions.
Since 3D Gallery drains the battery, What do you use?
I've found Gallery+, any experiences on this version?

There's also Photo Gallery Fish bowl, looking promissing

I believe Quickpic is the Gallery replacement of choice:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result
I'm going to try it myself now as i'm sick and tired of the default Gallery!
i use the normal one
I prefer the one in HTC Sense to a stock gallery. The 3D Google one is problematic and slow.
I just tried Quickpic and love it. It has all the simplicity of the Sense gallery and is a bit faster at loading.
As DarkGently1 already mentioned, Quickpick is a good choice. It's got a clean UI, you're able to hide specific pictures and folders and more features.
hum
I have QuickPick, very great
Installed and...loving it so far. Yes the default Gallery has pretty effects but Quickpic is just so much faster and easier to use. The additional features are useful without being unnecessary bloatware too.
I'm using HTC different photo gallery...
I want to use another one but it seems the stock one is the fastest..
I use the standard gallery on my phone. Think it works quite well.
I like to say hello to everyone as well, since this is my first post!
I am not much of a believer in replacing default apps, but, on using Quickpic, I just had to shift. It's that good, and, on a low end device like my Wildfire, the difference over anything else (Including CM Gallery 2D - Gallery 3D doesn't work) is as big as night and day.
Sold on it completely, and its definitely for keeps.
normal one
Quickpic is one of the best
QuickPic is very fast and a great app for local images. I use gallery3d on my phone, as I have a large number of picasa web albums, and those integrate well with gallery3d. Last version of QuickPic that I used did not support the online galleries... *however* it's blazing fast!
yes, we must wait for next release of quickpic
how about droidiris?
HTC Desire's stock gallery.
Yes, quickpick is the best out there and I've tried a few.
For now I use stock gallery3D from cyanogenmod 6.3.0 for milestone but I will try quickpic as soon as I solved the problem that market sees my device as not compatible with most apps.
Quickpic works for me.
I like Mui for both the camera and the photo gallery on the DINC.
I'm coming from a One Plus X before getting a S7 Edge 935F.
Very happy about the hardware but the software is not as friendly as on the One Plus X.
My mine problem is that I can't see "Photos" (Google Photos) in the Gallery.
On my old device it was an album inside Gallery. Made it easy to share a pic by SMS, FB and IG.
Is there a way to get this back on to my device? A mod, a hack or simply a setting I can't seem to find.
Thanks for your help!
Install the gallery app from the one plus x? Seems like its an app feature that samsung doesn't have.
