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
[APP] Gallery and Music Launcher for Xperia X10 2.1

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).

Tal.

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
I cannot find the shortcut for the stocks app from the app drawer. I can get to it by creating a widget on the homescreen, or from the Apex launcher, but not from the stock launcher.
Anybody else facing the same issue?
It's the same thing for Polaris Office too. Weird.

I did this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26193552&postcount=2
to put it in a folder on my Home Screen.
Weird. I wonder if this is just a bug, of if AT&T hid this on purpose (and if so, why?).
I assumed there was no app for viewing MS Office documents, and went ahead and installed Office Suite (which I had luckily gotten as an Amazon "free app of the day" a while back). It wasn't until today that I tried to open an Excel document, and I was given the choice of opening with Polaris or Office Suite. I was like WTF, Polaris is there, why isn't it in the app drawer???

Yeah...I can't seem to find SoundHound in the drawer. Sucks because I actually want to use the app and can't access it. It doesn't let me delete and download in Google Play.

If you open the Music app, Soundhound should be listed there. Seems liked they tried to unify things a bit by throwing Soundhound, TuneIn, etc. under the Music app. Also, if you install Pandora or other music apps, it should automatically add a shortcut in Music (at least it did for me), and you can also add other shortcuts manually. But that doesn't fully explain why TuneIn can be found in the app drawer, and not Soundhound.
Is it possible to set a different camera app as the default when using the lockscreen's native swipe-left-for-camera gesture? Failing that, is there a lockscreen widget for opening the camera, which will let me choose my preferred default?

Anyone? I've heard that you're supposed to be asked which camera app you'd like to use when swiping on the lockscreen. Can anyone comment on this?
I like the way you can scroll through photos in your gallery on the stock launcher; however, I use Nova Launcher. I cannot find the stock gallery anywhere; I've just been through all the activities available to your when you create a shortcut to an activity, but all I can see there is the settings page for it. Is it possible to use this on other launchers?

not directly
unless someone port it as a widget app for 3rd party launchers.
(I m not sure but i think there is no project like this unfortunately)
:good:
Recently upgraded to 6.0 but now my messaging app no longer uses Quickpic. How do I change back or at least have the new gallery sort by album by default?
