I'm using Fresh 1.0.1. I downloaded the Vanilla apps, and apparently there is no way to un-install them. I'm happy with vanilla lock screen and vanilla clock. But I do not like the new gallery. I wish I could go back to sense.
So my next best option is to just get a new photo gallery app from the market. But I can't really seem to find one.
Any suggestion?

I'm using Fresh as well. For me, I just freeze Launcher Pro using Titanium. (You must have full version) When it completes the "freeze" and you hit the home screen it should ask you what you want to use, ie. Sense, Launcher Pro, Android Mate. Select Sense with the "remember" option and you should be set. You can change back by un-freezing.
A word of warning- if you upgrade Launcher Pro or Flipz drops in a new version and you un-freeze a older version you may go into a FC loop.
EDIT: I posted in the wrong thread! sorry.
But since I did, i might as well be somewhat useful. I was linked here by this thread:

its a thread to find replacement apps for cyanogen vs sense. I very much dislike the "3d gallery" provided by cyanogen. I like a simple file viewer. problem is, if I use something else to browse my files, and click "set as wallpaper" it seems to be conflicted with the 3d gallery program. I then went in to system/apps and removed 3d gallery, but now i cannot set ANY wallpapers. any ideas?
EDIT: Ok.. I think i'm just on crack... everything is working as I want it to now... who knows. I usually screw up more than I care to admit

If it really works and does the things it was designed for, I will never, never install this.
Would be the final surrender and is a perversion of Android.
This does not work for me. I uninstalled FB and FB messenger, installed the 3 APKs found on that site. Logged in to FB and FB Messenger but there is no "Enable Facebook Home" option in the FB app settings. If i choose to use the FB Home launcher, i get a black background with the little circle icon with my FB display picture in it.
the resolution on our phone is 1280x800 is it not? that website lists the max res that is compatible as 1280x768.
Edit: This is on a Samsung JB DXLSE rom, maybe you will get a different result on a non-touchwiz rom
Worked for me... and I uninstalled it just 3 minutes ago Just wanted to see whether it did work. I get my FB picture in the middle and when I drag it I get a camera on the left (Doesn't work?) apps at the to along with status updates and on the right I forgot... either way it is now uninstalled.
Oh, and I was on Asylum CM10.1

I guess you need facebook camera app. Black screen for me but now works fine! Anyway ive uninstalled it because i dont want friends or unknow people as my wallpaper... the idea was great but... it's not what i want
I really don't see the point of the Facebook app. It's like going back in time, as you lose the flexibility of the Android OS, without any widgets or customization of the home screen. Does anyone else see any use for the Facebook app?
4.1.2 JB LSZ Union ROM v5, KSO Modem, speedmod K-5 kernel, Carrier: AT&T (US)
Don't work for me
The facebook app provided just gives me 'error try logging in again later' message. I tried the facebook app from play store but there is no option to enable facebook home.
Stock LSZ (rooted)
Edit : just read somewhere that facebook has just blocked the dev version of facebook!
same here when "error try logging in again "
They need to fix the FB app, not create a new one. When you use Facebook Home, it feels like using iOS, really fluid... but when you use the Facebook app, looks like a primitive java app, even the Facebook for every phone JAR its better than the stock android app....
Sorry my bad english
Can't see this catching on for more than five minutes while people test it out, the reason I use Twitter over Facebook is so I can choose which pictures I want to have rammed down my throat, Facebook is ok, but it really depends on your friends and what causes, situations and inane conversations they choose to share, and to have that plastered all over my home screen instead of my 3d fish or some other funky live wallpaper, with widgets that feedback up to date information is beyond me.

Facebook Home really sucks bad! I'm never going to use it. All I see is memes and funny pictures on my lock screen. And most of all, FB Home is such a battery hog!
after installing facebook home, it is mandatory to reboot, but will not work
used for 5 minutes and then took off yesterday, is slower than normal application
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?

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.
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.
How is it 2022 and I can't SORT ALBUMS BY NAME?!? I'm starting to really miss my note. Why can't I COPY media to other albums? I'm also really missing the ability to visit the source website of a screenshot.
Am I missing something here? Are there secret settings that make the photos app function like every gallery app I've used for many, many years?
You can't arrange apps in app drawer by your own order, there's no settings for this. There's alot missing with oneplus firmware,
