What's the gallery changed at all? I thought it would be axed but ive seen the icon on the nexus 5 hands on videos, wasnt Google Photos supossed to replace it?
Nothing happened to it. The Gallery app also serve as video player, sometime it is the Camera as well (not sure on the Nexus 5).

hi all,
just wondering whether some of you noticed the lag in loading the gallery?
or just after taking a picture, the newly taken picture takes a really long time to load?
i suspect its something to do with the usb read speed.
Same here. Sometimes it even needs a reboot until newly taken pics show up in the gallery. I just use the filebrowser to display pics.
I think the gallery never really worked fine i already had issues on my n1...
I've found that when Bluetooth is on, my Gallery lags badly. But it goes back to normal when Bluetooth is switched off.
The gallery app seems to try and discover all of the pictures on the phone...that's maybe what takes so long? The other day it discovered some album art- I don't want album art displayed in the gallery.
I have also noticed it takes a couple minutes to add a recently taken picture into the gallery. Weird.
same here gallery lag ...
any fixes for this yet?

You can exclude any folder on your sdcard from displaying pictures in the Gallery by adding a blank file named .nomedia into the folder. This tells the media scanner to skip that folder when indexing the sdcard. Two caveats to that: first is that it excludes sound files from the music player also, and it excludes all subfolders of the one with the .nomedia file in it.
The lag in having a pic you just took is also annoying. You could probably force a faster review by getting that app from the Market that forces a fresh run of the media scanner. Google must have built some delay into the stock scanner that keep it from constantly running to improve battery life or phone performance. The media scanner sucking up resources was a common complaint on the SGS i9000 forums for a while.
I'll bet you could write a Tasker profile that forced a fresh scan after any new pictures are taken. That might backfire in terms of performance though.

^ Truth.
And I've also experienced Gallery lag. It's really frustrating.
Maybe it's just me and it's a my phone issue but ever since i have started to root and build for my phone and download news roms i've noticed that the regular gallery does't have the animated thumnails anymore. I know it's minor but i just wanted to know if any of you have noticed that also and or know how to get it back animated.
I don't recall stock Gallery ever having moving thumbnails. I'm not saying it didn't but the only place I've seen that is in the Video Player on Touchwiz and Touchwiz roms. My thumbnails for recorded video and video on my sd card animate just fine. That doesn't happen in my Gallery app but it works fine in my Video Player. I'm currently on CleanRom 2.1
yea that's what i was saying my gallery and everything else works fine it's just it doesn't animate the thumbnails of videos like it used to, maybe i'm just overlooking something but if you any review of this phone completely stock you'll see what I'm talking about just in case you don't remember it.
Hi,
I came from an old LG G3 but before that one I used to have the Nexus 4.
With Google Camera i was able to shoot photos and then watching them with the old Google (Stock) Gallery found in Nexus 4. That app allowed to watch such images rotating and tilting the phone and even creating small pianets.
Now on my Oneplus 6 I was trying the GCam port and I was shooting some photosphere but... In the stock Oneplus gallery I can't see them in other ways except on a single rectangular image. So I tried Google Photos (that I thougth it was the successor of Google Gallery) but even with Google Photos I cannot see photosphere in a good way.
How can i watch them rotating and tilting the phone, or creating planets from image etc like we used to do back in the years?
Thanks
Google photos allows you to do this if you click the compass in the lower left.
No it don't.. Maybe GCam mod don't "mark" the photo as photosphere?
You can view them with the original apk or maybe google photos
Hi,
First off just want to say I am a long time XDA fan from way back to windows mobile and I am in a bit of a crisis state currently. I have always been anti apple and drank the android phone coolaid forever but I am struggling currently because I have a very strong desire for the live photo feature. (Video before and after every picture I take WITH audio) I know the pixels have motion photo and all that but without sound it is so much less. I have found that camera MX supports this but google photos doesn't detect the live photo aspect of the picture to upload it.
Everyone around me thinks I am going crazy causing I am thinking of putting up with all the things I hate about apple just for the live photo feature. The camera is my number one used item on the phone so that is why I would think of switching. I am a Dad of 3 and love these short videos and take way to may pictures.
Is anyone aware of a way to get google photos to detect camera MX's live shots? Or get audio on google motion photos? Or some other app that can do this?
Not sure if this is posted in the right spot so mods please move if needed...
Has anyone been able to test this yet? Do instagram stories and pictures still look bad when using this Samsung device. I know there were ramblings about social media app optimization for the camera but it has really died down recently. Anyone have input on this or tried out the phone with Instagram Tik tok and twitter.? Thanks in advance!
I want to know this too. I have seen some obscure videos on YT showing this, but i don't trust them.. I remember on my Huawei P20 pro snapchat activated the different zoom-cameras/lenses while zooming.. I've missed it since..
What I would like to know is if it comes preloaded with all of the Farcebook suite of apps? This is the most annoying part of owning a Samsung device.
Tl;dw: Instagram can use the ultra wide and 3x telephoto, snapshat supports all 4 lenses and night mode as well. finally up to bar. iphone has better video on snapchat due to being smoother
