I've had enough with the stock gallery app. So many issues like, slow to load albums, mismatched thumbnails, ... weird issue where I click on a saved attachment and see an old photo that's long been deleted. Frustrating to say the least.
Anyway, I've looked but haven't really found a worthy replacement app. I want an app that can do everything the stock gallery can do. Find all my image files on my SD card and organize them accordingly.
Quickpic.....all day. Try it, its free and frequently updated.
+1 on the Quick Pic. You can even tell it which folders to include and/or which folders to exclude.

Thanks, just what I was looking for!
Yeah it's super fast after the first time you look at a pics because it saves the cache.

I noticed that, that's a great feature! I actually find myself looking at my photos more. Always dreaded using the stock gallery app.

For real....way nicer to just spend a minute looking at pics. HTC should take a note.....
It also saves the zoomed version so its effortless and not dreading to look at photos.

Here's another vote for Quickpic. On AOSP roms it is a must have, but on Sense I can live with HTC's gallery.

+1 on QuickPic. Best ever!

how come when I open photo gallery and open the pics they are blurry until u resize them? It isn't blurry where u can't see it but u can definitely see a clearing up and sharpening of the image if u resize it. This is really annoying me for some reason.

I have that same issue. I have had it with rooted and unrooted EVOs both on the 003 and 004 versions of hardware. It seems to happen on pretty much all sense roms too. guess its a small sense issue, but it is annoying.
Its just the app fully loading the full resolution of the image. An 8MP picture has a lot of data, and in order to speed the app up, it renders a lower res file first, then completes it a second or so later.
Is there a way to have it load it all to begin with.
Sent from my rooted HTC EVO using the xda app!
Nope, as it states above, if the app loaded them fully before displaying the usability of the app would take a nose dive.
I suppose you could look for a different gallery app in the market, but I am sure they all follow the same principle.

so you just want a big hourglass rotating around while the picture loads?

I nabbed the Gallery 3D app too but, either it's just me, or it's rather irritating. When you click on the photo icon while in camera mode, it doesn't take you directly to the last picture taken; just plops you right down at the beginning of your camera album and makes you scroll through all the photos (annoying if you have a lot). Can't remember whether stock gallery was weird like this.
Stock wasn't like that, it went directly to the last picture taken. Did you get the 3dgallery+ from the market or the official apk? I'm using the 3dgallery + and it does that.

I got this from the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cooliris.media
Wouldn't be surprised if it's the wrong one. If so, could you link me to the one you are talking about? Searching 3dgallery just comes up with a bunch of non-relevant apps.
Moved to general as not android development
Oops....mine does the same.....i ripped it from a rom

As far as I know I haven't seen anyone post anything concerning this. I used the nexus one before coming to gs2 and it's gallery was smooth. Is there anyway to fix this? Or is it just me.

My gallery works great. You might try going to settings, applications, all, gallery, then clear data. This should just clear the thumbnails. The OS should rebuild the database for the gallery the next time you use it, but after that it should be smooth.
I would recommend backing up all of your photos first, just in case this deletes all of your photos instead of just the thumbnails
Use quickpic
Don't worry, it's due to get replaced soon
It can be ROM problem,for example in Skarbnic ROM the thumbnails are blurred a bit.

It's so much better! (reminds me of my i...)
Thank you!
I like the stock gallery app. My issue is that it is keeping my album art in its own album (1separate album per cd), so it is making my album view pretty extreme. I know I can sort the view some but it does not limit the amount of albums.
Anyone know of a setting to limit this from being viewed in the stock gallery or another app that may help?
Thanks

You may want to try Quickpic from the market. I am not sure if it has the same limit issue, but imo it's much faster and better organized than the stock gallery app.
It's one of the first apps I install when I get a new phone.

+1 for QuickPic.
It really is the fastest gallery app around. If you don't mind the fact its UI is minimal, and that it doesn't have the AllShare DLNA baked in, give it a try.
QuickPic is my favorite gallery app by far! ICS Gallery has potential but not quite there yet, although I'd imagine an iteration of that is what's on the GS3. But yeah, QuickPic > *
Thank you all. I am ill give it a shot.

Had to come back and say that quick pic is perfect! It let's you exclude folders. I thanks again.

Anyone else notice....it seperates the pictures all over the place inside the app. Anyway i can move them around into proper spots. Example, it has all my dled pics in three different downloaded folders...i just need one.
totally agree.
cant wait to root so i can get the stock ics gallery back
agreed! Looks cluttered and ugly. Are there any recommended apps to use in place of it?
I personally use tsf gallery widget, more cool! And fun!

On that note, does anybody else notice the images don't rotate when you select the View>Change screen orientation>By Orientation sensor... I only get rotation when I have the main rotation set in the OS
Quikpic is by far the best image app.
I use Sony's album app. I think its the best

I have tried to push several gallery apps and they all have the same look, I really hate the stock SG3 gallery app, what I would like is to have the same look as the gallery 3d version. I have tried quick pic, and its nice but I don't like the new look I really enjoyed the old 3d look. Anyone have any luck trying to get it installed, I can't get the gallery 3d apk to install. Thanks for the help
This thread delivers! Both of these recommendations are lightyears better than the included gallery. Thanks. Never really knew that I had such a problem with the gallery.
