Icons, games, graphics, and UI look gorgeous. On the other hand, normal photography that appear just normal on my laptop, appears on my Galaxy Tab not as clear and the quality sucks. Anyone experiencing the same? I have Honeycomb 3.1 -3.2 is not yet available for my region. Thanks in advance!

In my case, graphics are awesome. In fact photos on my tab look better than their copies on the desktop.
The only thing, if you choose to set a small image as your wallpaper or lock screen, it does not look as neat. You need to use either the default ones, or some high resolution photos.
It does not look nice while browsing or on background apps. The pics that's preloaded on the Tab looks great but others are not. Weird!

Photos are not the same resolution as preloaded images first of all.

Does anyone have an idea why the default Gallery app doesn't show full-resolution images, but rather a crappy down-sized and heavily compressed images instead?
I've tried some other gallery apps, but I really like the look and transitions on the default app - everything is good, except the resolution :/
Also, if you have any other good gallery apps to try out, I'm all ears. My problem is that I need to carry with me a very large amount of photos (several thousand). I've downsized them to fit into 1200x1200 resolution box, but when viewed through the default app, they suck immensely.
I believe that is Android's fault. The stock android gallery downsizes all pics. If there was a similar gallery app (transitions and look) but with full-size pics I'd be interested too!!!
Same problem here. Though it's still far from perfect, the best viewer I've seen so far is JustPictures!, which can handle hires images quite correctly.
I have the same problem and as I am a photographer and use the Tab as my portofilo I have found on the market for free the app Large Image Viewer.
That will display the images as I want it to see.

Indeed. Stock Android apps suck at any decent media viewing or editing. Its also why every photo editing app downsizes your edits to a pitiful 1024 resolution. Its an OS limitation I believe.
Um, Google. What the hell is the point then in better cameras & higher resolutions if you're crappy OS can't handle editing them??
Someone buy Google a clue.

Does it work for the tab?
I had to root first to remove the old gallery before installing the modded gallery.

Yeah, same here - a photographer After that I've uploaded most of my archive in a resized, but still high-res mode, and saw that horror on the screen... Bah! I'll check out that app, thanks!
Photog here too... the modded gallery looks like a nice option, but I've been using the app called just pictures from the market(as mentioned by obi4d above)... it allows you to specify the maximum res for zoom viewing (up to original size), and for the most part it is very smooth and clean... a hiccup every now and then with 18mp 300dpi jpegs, but it's free and doesn't require root... it also can connect to several photo sites (flickr, picasa,smugmug, even facebook etc...) to remotely display your galleries much faster than the browser...

I use Number22's Gallery3D app, which fixes the sensor battery bug and provides full resolution picture views. I also use JustPictures from time to time.
What about EXIF data. I know 'JustPictures' displays EXIF but what about 'Large Image Viewer', does it too show EXIF material?
If so which is considered to show the greater additional material?

I have installed the molded gallery from the SGS Toolbox but my images look fine (as did they before this).

I would like to use my Xoom to load my photography portfolio on to show prospective clients. Does anyone know the best resolution to load photos at? I loaded them at 1280x800 and 300 ppi, but they look very pixelated. Has anyone had better luck with other resolutions? Am I missing something?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
The default Gallery seems to pixelate pictures. Use QuickPic (Market Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result) instead and you will see your pictures in all their glory, regardless of size. The one downfall is it does not sync with Picasa like the default Gallery does.
Nice... I like the additional options available.
I second the recommendation to use QuickPic for hi-res photos. Works great for HDMI-out to full screen LCD too. Hopefully they'll update it for better transitions...
That did it! Thanks!

Love the Layout, has a good feel to it.
Love the fact that the s3 has no apparent banding on most screens however ive noticed on the google email creation page there is banding ... also where the same blue is used (mainly on email sign up pages) the same banding is there
Has anyone else got this ?
Every other page is crisp and no banding i just wonder more that worry why the google page has it ?
On my note a lot of pages have banding so im not that worried its a 1000% better

I was always under the impression that was actually the design of that background image.
Hello.
Try that...
It will fix your problem.
It will work to any rom you have.
Credits goes to Zabalba for his work.
It is a default ugly background that appears in some settings/apps. It is the wrong choice of background as it makes the amoled black look like lcd black if you don't know it is the background.

hi there, whats it do and how do you load it ?
do you have to be on rooted device ??
im on uk unlocked firmware
Bad Things
-Color Scheme
-Launcher
-Error in Callender sync (only in some devices)(thanks to smashbox)(can be fixed by doing a full wipe/restore)
To Make it Good
-Use Nova Launcher (in 8x10 grid) (thanks to aletheus)
Seems somewhat more responsive than Honeycomb though (not with Touchwiz). But still testing.
The looks is according to one's taste, I suppose--I liked the (pure) ICS look on my Galaxy Nexus so have little complaints here on the 7.7, especially after I switch from Touchwiz to Nova Launcher (same on my Nexus).
Added screencap of my homescreen. (Nova Launcher, Suave HD icons, Simiclock Widget.)
I don't know what condition your tablet is, but mine is noticeably snappier.
Just like EVERY SINGLE DEVICE I HAVE UPDATED TO ICS from GB or HC base
- Nexus S
- Motorola Atrix
- Sony Tablet S
Where did you get ICS? P6800 hasn't got official ICS yet.
Update: Ok, it seems that there is a torrent with some ICS update. Need to investigate more.

Yeah, it hit the forums yesterday morning. What a great un-birthday present from samsung!!!
On topic:
I am surprised to be loving touchwiz! Its certainly not lagging, the entire device is much faster. I draw using sketchbook pro and photoshop touch, so the "force gpu rendering" under settings>development seems to have even sped up drawing capabilities. Lag is barely noticeable, whereas before it was inhibitive.
As far as colors, OP, you mean color sceme for ICS?
I'm disappointed to see color banding in gradients still, thouh it does seem a little better now...

The Austrian ICS update does have TouchWiz. It's the new look of TouchWiz 5, as also seen on the Samsung Galaxy S III. There are many new features to explore under Apps and Widgets.
I've put on forced GPU rendering. Touchwiz still seems slightly (but still noticeably) laggy, albeit less than HC
