Does anyone knows a good, smooth Photo App? - HTC U11 Questions & Answers

Hi,
As HTC Album is not avaiable for the U11 (does anyone knows why?) I have noticed that the Goople Foto App is crap. It have the same folder for Fotos, Videos, WhatsApp, Self-nemed-Folder like seen in HTC Album, but it needs 8 seconds to start up, and if I scroll down up to 2 Minutes (!) to display Fotos older then a month! Absolute unacceptable!
May that happens because I have disabled the sync with google -but I don't want to get my Fotos (taken, and/or saved from other sources) online. (there is no "cloud" -there is just another owned computer!) I make my backups for myself.
If there is a good Foto App out there which compare with these minimal requirements? (Sort and don't need to be synced)
Best regards

Try quickpic from play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder

Oh, yes! That seems to be a very good app! Thank you very much, Sir!

I suggest also piktures. It seems little better

I'm running viper Rom and it has HTC album app.

You can enable Sense 7 apps, including HTC Gallery, when installing.
I agree about the Photos app and dirty flashed the Rom without Photos.
But in stock HTC Gallery is replaced, unfortunately.

You can get the HTC gallery app from here. Just download and install the APK

If you are using the Google camera it works. Only with stock app have that problem. IMO HTC gallery is much better than Google gallery.

simple gallery aps god appa, htc gallery works for htc u11 but use photo editor not working

Again, with Viper ROM I only have the HTC Gallery app and it does launch through the camera app. The photo editor also works including face swap, etc. There are no issues at all. Plus the VIper ROM is pretty sick...

I am using motorola gallery app,it's great and u can add photos in a really nice way,not just filters,almost like snapseed app,found it here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-moto-gallery-2016-devices-t3524427

Also checkout @fransisco Franco's app. It's called Focus

These are Very good
-pikture
-FOTO
-F-Stop
-Focus
All playstore

The old HTC (m8s) Gallery (49MB) seems to work well. Haven't done everything but it crops and shares to twitter....here is the link please get your dropbox and sideload it so you don't bump toward my dropbox download cap.

I've been on viper from day one, so I just flash the update over my existing setup. I'd flash an older version that has it, then flash 1.8 on top

Now I haven't actually updated to 1.8 yet, but I have downloaded it and you had me wondering so I took a look, and I believe it is still there. And I am glad cause I can't stand Google photos app.

Patched 3D Gallery APK

****EDIT****
I found it after a little more digging! Sorry about the premature post. For anyone else interested, I have attached the APK.

Thanks for the quick response dude. I posted a little earlier than I should have...im just impatient.

Im not sure, it just said install unsuccessful. I didn't try the one you posted above, since I had already found and installed one on my own.
The one I attached installed fine. Of course, its slower than the HTC gallery, but for some reason i prefer it.
It works! nice! thanks

How has this been modified?
The best difference is this one syncs with your Picasa web albums. It also looks alot nicer than the stock photo album but does load slower. I use it because Ive got about 8000 pictures organized on Picasa and Id rather not use memory card space for them.
I believe this one is the modded vanilla android 3d gallery with the resolution cap fixed and it loads faster.
Write this its great! Never knew about the picasa sync. Anyway to show only pics from camera? Right now it shows all pictures on phone. Thanks!

place a period in front of the folder that has pictures you want to hide. For example if you have a folder on your sd card titled pictures rename it to .pictures and it'll be hidden from the gallery. Keep in mind youll have to use astro or estrong to view those images again

I think its the same one. I was simply looking for the APK. Once found it, I edited the thread and posted it for those that were interested.
does this one allow you to share to "messaging" on sense roms?
It does with handcent
This gallery is force closing like crazy on my Evo. Anyone else experience this?
Does this really load faster. I love the look of the 3d gallery but it loads painfully slow, especially when opening a picture from when you go through a file explorer or an email.

[App] Camera & Gallery App from S4 Google Edition

Hi there.
A new camera mod/app from S4 Google Edition has leaked. You can install it like a normal app and you don't lose your Sense camera! I gave it a short try and it seems to work, but i had not enough time to test all (especially photosphere, but it should do). Also the Gallery is included.
If you wanna try, you can download here: http://goo.gl/02po9

I did not change the img quality (its on 5 mp) and for me it works. All pics are fine and i can watch them on gallery.
I have just tried it on my stock K2_UL running 4.1.2. It installs just fine, the gallery app works, the camera starts, but it doesn't seem to be able to focus properly, even in perfect lighting conditions.
Working GREAT on my Boost SV. Thanks bro.
Nice that it work for you bro, you got a pm.

I use always sense 5 camera.
I think the most interesting feature of this camera here is photosphere.
Change photo/video storage location?
I installed this on my hTC One SV on Boost mobile. The camera stores videos/pictures on the internal phone storage partition. Is there any way to modify this app so it stores the photos/videos on the external SD card? I've tried going into Settings->Storage & changing camera storage location there. This camera does not seem to be affected by that setting.
Thank you for your help...
As it seems that S4 Google Edition has no external sdcard i don't think that there is an option for that.
This camera works better than the stock/Sense5 one. Stock camera often takes blurry photos.

...but it causes random freezes, like i explained in another thread:
I believe that my problems lie in S4 Camera app and not in internal memory switch or dropbox... That saddens me, because S4 Camera app produced much better pics than the stock Sense camera
I dont know why and how those freezes happen, but it happens after taking the picture, when screen turns off. When phone freezes, picture (file) gets corrupted and unreadable.
I also remember one time happening when gallery (S4) remained opened and phone screen turned off.
While i had dropbox auto-sync enabled it happened more often, but turning it off didnt make the problem to go away, rather it made it happen slightly more rarely.

If anyone has a solution, or advice on the matter (that does not involve removing the app ) i would appreciate it.

Why? The Gallery app was only on the previews cause it was the AOSP app, same with messeging and browser apps. Once the factory image came out it reverted back to GApps and they were removed
There was never the new lollipop gallery app in either previews.
Check this and you'll know. Material design: http://youtu.be/Q8TXgCzxEnw
Im not sure how i feel about google not including an AOSP gallery and forcing me to install google plus so i can use the photo app or use a thrid part app since kitkats gallary FCs when i try edit my pics. I wonder if google is breaking any kind of antitrust laws with its unfair and deceptive practices because if anyone decides to puchase a stock lollipop phone their only option to view thier pics is to either sign up for google plus or download a thrid party app.

Can anybody tell me which music and picture app they show in the Video?
Thanks!
Absolutely hated this. Dont wanna use no crappy G+
The G+ gallery is terrible, an average app developer could reimplement a better version of it in half a day. Quickpic isn't a valid alternative if you have your images on google's cloud. Quickpic max rex is 2048x2048, and doesn't support geotags from picasa cloud, while the old aosp gallery didnt have neither of these limitations. Plus quickpic doesn't support photospheres. I wish there was a valid alternative, but atm it seems that we are stuck with sideloading a 2011 aosp abandoned apk
Try Pikture, a material designed Gallery app, beautiful and fully fonctionnal : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.diune.pictures
They said that the old Gallery app will not be present in the Lollipop version. I don't like this either, maybe if we had waited for the OTA, the old Gallery app would still be there. And it doesn't necessarily need Google+, you can log out of Google+ inside the Photos app.

I'm not really sure what's the fuzz with quickpic is about. The app is stuck in 2012. As I said, it has severe limitations when dealing with cloud images from Google, like the lack of support of geotags, or higher resolution than 2048x2048, or photospheres.

Default Gallery App Change

Hi
Seems like Google Photo's is hard coded to be the default picture viewer.
If you install something else you are not prompted to choose the new default as you would expect.
Disabling google photo's and trying to force new default doesn't work either.
Perhaps with future ROM?
Anything anyone achieved without root etc. till now? Thanks.
Reorienting back and recent keys seems like a no go either, what do people do to get round that?
Thanks for any tips already.

Tryna different camera. Counterintuitive? Maybe. Probably. Definitely. But you will get the option that you want.
But this has ALWAYS been the case with HTC. I have installed the HTC camera app on other phones, and it was imperative to have the HTC Gallery app to be able to review the photos after they are taken. I know that it's a different gallery app that we are taking about, but I think have the Camera App is the real issue here. The app defines the default photos app.
I may be wrong, but that's something that I discovered a while back.

You could use a custom rom like leedroid, there you can define your favorite app for pictures and it will launch from the camera.
And you can use custom roms without root.

install htc album from apk mirror, then disable the google photos app. It should default to htc album then.
It should but it doesn't, and I don't know why... When I disable google photos and install htc gallery nothing hapens when I try to open photos from camera.
Any fix for this yet?
Would love to see a fix too!
I got around all the little issues with Photos by disabling that app.
Then got "QuickPic" from Google Play and made it Gallery app in it's settings.
Aggravation instantly gone. Works fine without giving an argument about everything.

on our rom you can pick any gallery app as preview album in the camera app.
I've tried many apps as I've never really used Google photos before and had no luck with any. But I've started to like it now. Especially since they added opening straight to albums in the settings.

Alternative to Google Photos

Has someone any idea if there is a Original HTC Gallery app for u11 plus? I definitely hate that stupid Google Photo app... No way to uncheck uneeded folders, no way to sort A to Z, all folders are displayed in a malicious unsorted order. So if there is a way to get HTC Gallery App running on u11 plus I would be very happy if someone could point out some advices. I don't look for other third party apps In playstore btw... I'm just looking for the HTC app. Thx guys.
