Stock sgs3 gallery app sucks - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

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!

Quikpic is the best app out there.

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

yup, like many other things, the gallery app is a big disappointment.

I am rooted how would I go about getting this? Just find the file and push it to System/app and change perms?

Agreed, I have tried quite a few, and always go back to this one.

Quick pic doesn't plug into Picasa either.

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.

For those that prefer using the phone's browser over the XDA app

I made a request to get a dark theme added to XDA and was thinking that if enough people showed interest it might get the ball rolling. The purpose behind this is that a dark theme would improve our battery life as I'm sure all of you know how these screens work.
Before the peanut gallery chimes in, I have no interest in using the XDA app.
Well the premium app has a black theme, have you tried that?

Your in luck, this has already been done. I don't have the premium app, but I am using the dark theme. Just go into settings, it is there.
:facepalm
Forget I even said anything
edit: Just so nobody takes the above comment wrong: I DO NOT LIKE USING THE XDA APP. I want to add a dark theme to XDA's UserCP options.
I'm not sure why you would want to request a feature you wouldn't use, but more power too you..
I originally opened this thread because I was curious to know why someone would rather use the web broweser instead of the XDA app. So whats the pro/con?
I wanna a thanks button on this app

Where are you getting the idea that I wouldn't use it?
I just like the browser version better. I have it as a bookmark in my LP dock pop up which takes me directly to general or development. With the Miran browser I have other forums in different tabs so I can go back and forth between them easily. Its harder for me to navigate the app than it is to navigate the browser. Also when people reply using the app, 90% of the time it gets put in the quote box and and looks like and an empty post when in fact the reply is jumbled in with someone else's post (see post #4 as an example). The only benefit the app has to me is that the text is formatted a little better for legibility but that can be fixed in the browser by simply double tapping the page and zooming in.
This is how I'd like it to look like.

Stock gs2 gallery app is fast but isn't smooth

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
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.

Been on different ROMS too , and all the same probleme , gallery could be smoother if I can say ^^ .

But one can use alternative viewer from the market while waiting for a fix ^^

Good gallery replacement?

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.

Replacement for stick Gallery?

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA
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.

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.

Camera working nice on cm11

As u guys are concernd abt d camera quality on cm11 .. I have found a solution .... Just download the app named focal(beta) from play store ... It works very good and fine than the default camera ...
Sent from my GT-I9082 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Its worlds most buggy camera as far as i have downloaded it 5times for me
developers are like gods
For Me, Stock Camera is better. Focal is still in beta and buggy. Hope the dev team will fix that soon.
Focal used to be included on JellyBean CMs. It's buggy as hell.
Besides default CM11 camera is good enough, with quality almost matching Samsung's camera... the only downside is the slow camera preview.

Can you paste the link to the play store?

This is that cool app...
Btw... It is possible that it is set just on 3mps or 5MP...so just check every single setting and understand app completely before using for clicking....
Hope i helped
