Hello,
I recently flashed Android Oreo on my OnePlus One (LineageOS 15) and I noticed that the gallery built-in app looks like the Android 5 one. It really lacks in design which surprised me. I installed open gapps and everything and just wanted to ask if the built-in gallery app is supposed to be Google Photos for ANdroid 8? I really don't like the layout of Google Photos and to be honest the built-in gallery is extremely fast. I tried different gallery apps like Simple Gallery or Piktures which have stunning design and layout but still... built-in gallery is super fast at loading photos.. Yes, even faster than Google Photos.
If I am missing something can you please link me to an apk of the Android Oreo gallery? If what I have now is the actual gallery.. well shame on you android 8.. there is literally no design to it.. it's like the only app that feels like has been left behind.. Phone, contacts, messages and all the rest of built-in apps have an updated material-design and all... except the gallery.
Thanks
You have to flash OpenGapps Stock version to get gallery replaced by Google Photos app.

I don't want to have Google Photos to replace the built-in gallery. I don't like Google Photos cos built-in gallery is better and faster.. just lacks in design and I was wondering if it is the correct gallery and just stayed outdated..
Is google photos supposed to replace it? Is that why they don't update it anymore?
Which rom did you flash give me a link

Since 3D Gallery drains the battery, What do you use?
I've found Gallery+, any experiences on this version?

I believe Quickpic is the Gallery replacement of choice:

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.
Its fair to say that the Android 4.4 Stock Gallery is literary useless. CM Gallery Next is a fair choice. Quickpic is great but looks bland. But I still need a gallery app with Quickpics performance with much more simple intuitive user interface which has the editing functions of Stock Gallery. Not a photo editing app like Snapseed or Pixler but an app which has everything. A simple looking, eye catching user interface with more performance.
If there are any apps,please mention them..

Motorola Gallery....

It's a nicely themed version of the stock gallery. includes all editing features and whatnot as they are identical except for appearance.
To get it just search for an apk or zip and flash.
Hi there,
I've installed the 'Google Camera' app from the Play Store. But it doesn't seem to come with a default gallery, so I only have the HTC Gallery.
Which is fine, except if you take the special pictures the Google Camera can do like Lens Blur or Photosphere. If I want to view a Photosphere I know have to start the camera, click on the 'review pictures' icon and then swipe till I find it.
Isn't there supposed to be a stock gallery or something with it?
How does this work on the latest Nexus devices and / or google-play-edition devices?
If that 'Google Camera' app comes stock on some devices, there must be a proper way to view the pictures you took with it I assume :S.
So, I've done some research into this and I'm struggling to get any results. I have noticed since installing 5.0 Lollipop, the default 'Gallery' app has disappeared and has instead been replaced with the 'Photos' app which comes built into Google+.
I've personally never found any use or need out of Google+ and always disable the app and the 'Photos' app.
Doing this however, now leaves me without a gallery.
I installed Cyanogen's gallery from the Play Store, but this is not automatically set to a default and so when I'm sharing or sending images, the gallery app to open images does not appear.
When I installed the APK for the KitKat gallery, it embodied itself into the 'Photos' app and when I tried to open it, it crashed because 'Photos' is disabled.
Any ideas?
QuickPic beta :thumbup:
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm in the same boat as you. Loved the Gallery app and don't find the Photos app useful at all.
Which Gallery APK did you install? I installed the one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/app-4-4-apps-hangouts-google-launcher-t2506344
It works, is in the menu prompts (when opening files), etc.
The only thing that doesn't work is the "edit" function since I'm guessing the links the to the built in photo editor are busted with the 5.0 update. So basically if I need to edit a photo I used Photos, but everything else I just use Gallery.

Download default Android 4.4 Gallery from here.
It works just fine in Android 5.0.
So I have mostly moved away from EMUI, as much as I can anyway, got way to used to Moto/Nokia devices with pure Android... Using Nova Launcher Prime, Google Photo, Google Calendar, Google Calculator, etc. and even though I have set defaults to these apps, like the default Gallery App to Photo in settings, in apps like Facebook when I go to post a picture or something it still is using Gallery to get me to pick the photo.
What do I need to do "fix" this so everything uses Photo? Use adb to disable Gallery (it's about the only thing I can think of I haven't tried)?
I do not think it's possible, I've also uninstalled several apps that come by default on the phone and I tried to use Google photos but according to a thread I follow to disable apps by adb, If the native gallery app is disabled, it would not be possible to access the thumbnail in the camera app. If you find some way to make it work, it would be great to know it too.
@acejavelin I'm with @Frankgefre . It's not only the non-working thumbnails. The Gallery is bound to the camera app. It provides features like adjusting the strengh of the bokeh effect or rendering a 3D-Panorama.
Thanks! Guess I'll just keep things as is.
You can try disabling it by adb, I'm using Google Photos instead of Emui 8 gallery app. Thumbnails works.
After that you can install again gallery app to your user 0. Or try with new user. Then use adb to remove gallery app.
This is basic behavior for the apps like Facebook it needs permission to access the Storage on your phone that includes Gallery and Photos, you can forbid this permission in phone Settings / Apps / Permissions.
