[Q] Animated GIF Player? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got an animated GIF of an Android beating on an Apple with a bat but it runs like crap through the gallery app preinstalled on the Captivate (at about 1fps). The Irony, is that the IP4 plays it perfectly. It looks like an issue with the Gallery app as it played fine on other androids on their built in photo viewer. Is there a setting to make it play better, or a better app to do it?
Thank you

For playing animated GIF:
1. Download Opera Mobile (non Opera Mini)
2. enter in the address bar
file:
3. Select your gif
It works without HTC Sense

thx
thanks a lot , great help .

Better than HTC Album?

Hi,
Anyone know application like HTC Album but better?
An application that can view IMAGES and VIDEOS .. but it is finger friendly, easy to operate (zoom, delete, go back).
HTC Album is ok, but it could not view videos ... and sometimes very hard to zoom (does it really work???).
Thanks.
PocketCM image viewer IMO is the best still image viewer, unfortunately will not preview videos
I used to use HTC album, tried PocketCM picture viewer and liked it, but found it too hard to navigate. It would zoom in when I didn't want it to, change pictures accidently. Now I use A_C's S2V, really like it, quick and easy to zoom in and out with the D-pad.
Hi,
use resco photo explorer
I agree, in my opinion, S2V is the best software to view still images.
I'm not sure if there are any softwares out there made to view still images and videos. I think it's one or the other.
I use right now HTC Album 2 with SJ's Full Player plugin so I can play video directly within. Not the greatest but it will do for now.
I think the best solution is using resco photo explorer
Eyephoto's pretty good too, no video though...
Kinoma Play
I've heard good things about Kinoma Play, http://kinoma.com/play/
Being commercialware, I have yet to try it.
how can i change the sort order in HTC Album?
first image in preview is the last in explorer and so on
i would like to have it sorted upwards

You probably have an old build of HTC Album. The stock build on my HTC Touch Cruise zoomz very easily (via touch screen and jog dial). I once tried an XDA build, but found that gestures would often cause rotation when I wanted to zoom, and zoom when I wanted to rotate.
As for videos, HTC album does preview them, but when you click on it, it opens them in Windows Media Player. Is this the behavior that you experience?
You could try the new HTC album floating around from the Opal/Manilla 2D.

Best youtube app?

Can someone give a link for the best utube link please?
I have tried a few different ones
Google Utube - takes ages and keeps on buffering
A bigger/nicer utube app (Same as the one on panels)- takes a while to load the programm
The one that smaberg included in his rom - i get stuttering
whats your advice?
youtubeplay. best there is. search. watch. save. extract .mp3. hands down the best. it just needs updated lol
I too would like to know, since the HTC youtube port lags A LOT.
my post is invisible
I'd like to know too. Based on your experience, what's the best?
I pref the fullscreen youtube app that also come as a panel myself
don't use the panel as it's just a launcher for the program but install the panel
because it install the app too
I'm using coreplayer to play youtube videos

[Q] Why cant my N1 view the animition of a .gif picture?

It really grinds my gears that my N1 cant play the animation of a gif picture while I am viewing it in the gallery. My brothers samsung behold can play them and even add them for a contact's picture and still play the animation when he gets a call from that contact.
I know what you mean. My Hero would play gifs in the gallery and so does my friends Captivate. According to the specs the Nexus One supports the .gif format and they play fine in the browser. Weird.

Yeah i know, i just posted this in case any one knows of an app that will make it play outside of the internet browser.
I believe android lacks support for gifs.
Havent seen a single android device that could view gifs. Ya it sucks

Gallery application

Hi I use cyanogenmod by mdj but I don't like the 3d gallery which comes with it. I have used in the past some sense roms which had the much better htc gallery. What s your opinion on that and what app do you have to suggest me?

Quickpic is fast and nice...
yes...Quickpic... is very nice app thx
JustPictures is very fine...
If you want a simple gallery viewer with nice thumbnails, ability to exclude whatever folder you like (ie. system folders with icons etc) then Quickpic is one of the better ones out there. Tried just pictures and the like, Quikcpic leaves it for dead in terms of usability.
Dual file mgr wasnt bad either (acts like a file explorer just like a PC so you navigate to the folder opposed to every folder being viewed. Like on a windows phone).
+1 on quickpic. I also didn't like the 3d gallery and looked at a couple replacements and quickpic was the best becuase it's nice and simple and has thumbnail preview of pics

Animated GIFs

I'm currently running JVP and I have no animated GIF support. I actually can't remember if I have EVER had support for them, but a friend of mine has a Desire HD, and sure enough, the sock browser plays Animated Gifs, as does his Google Reader app.
There is an option under his Internet Settings to enable GIF animations. Is there a reason why Samsung has excluded this feature, and is there a way that I can enable / add support?
Thanks in advance.
try a different browser dolphin hd, firefox 5 and comment... pretty sure it works in our phone!!
Only other browser I've tried is Opera Mini and they don't work either. Also, they don't work in Google Reader app, whereas they DO work on my friends Desire HD.
Not really interested in using a different browser, I'd rather get them working in the default browser, like on the Desire HD and apparently in some custom ROMs for the SGS too.

You have right. Last time gif animations was supported in Froyo 2.2.1
From Gingerbread 2.3.X dont any gif animations in any browser, and this is BIG MISTAKE from Samsung company or Google company...
