[Q][Mod] Gallery 3D battery drain - LG Optimus 2x

I have noticed that the Gallery app slurps most of my battery, about 30-40%, sometimes more than the screen. Googling it i found out that there are several devices having this problem, they traced it to the gallery keeping up services in the background that are not actually needed. For some devices, there have been Gallery mods that address this problem. So here's my questions:
1. Are you having the same issue?
2. Anyone thinking about making a mod of our own?
(As soon as I get home I will try those other mods on my O2X, maybe they will do).
Using CM7 latest kang (31+).

Install quickpic, that way you don't have to use the gallery anymore.

[Q] mdeejay's ICS ROM and picasa sync

The gallery app is not showing my photos from picasa albums and I can't share them. If I view a gallery setting, it is empty.
It's a known bug of all ICS rom? Any solution there? When I tried first ICS from st.matt (4.0.1), so it worked there.

Cm7/cm7-based bug report

Maybe I'm missing something,
but I think a cm7/ cm7-based-roms bug report thread could be useful.
Please don' ask for solutions, just report.
If you don't experience the reported bugs you can still contribute by posting your full hw/sw config.
Please, follow this scheme when you describe your system:
HW:LG Dual,
[back cover: "LG-p999;gf10 w81; 3 0 7; SC30310"];
[sticker:" LG CE 0168 !; IMEI : ***; SN : 103kpuu026***;LG- P990; MADE IN : KOREA];
Battery: 2011.03.09;
SW: [BB20110725(it20q),Temasek135(default ril); 216-1000Mhz]
Op.: Wind Italia
Let's try.
Temasek 135, bb0725 : Deleting photos using gallery's delete command doesn't work.
It apparently works, but after a reboot, photos come back in gallery.
Try out quickpik. In every way better than gallery app.
Sure, quickpic is great.
Did you experience the same bug with standard cm7 gallery?
If so, please thank the first post
Bug: temasek 135 : settings->cyanogenmod-> input -> volume wake selected.
volume volume keys do not always wake the phone.
Edit:
Volume wake always works if there are certain kind of notifications
pending (facebook, active downloads from playstore).
In ICS there is something similar, and it is a CPU related problem. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33151340
Edit(2): also in temasek135 it is a cpu related bug.
The solution proposed in the above post works also in tm135. But partial_wake_lock reduces battery.
Now the question is:
Facebook notifications have the same effect of a partial wake lock ... are those notifications cause of a partial_wake_lock?

Easy way to get thanks? I'm on it!
Maybe polls would be better.
Maybe it's a problem with the thumbnails not deleting?
Gallery is working for me fine. Also volume buttons always wake up phone (i use it very often).
I don't know what bugs are you saing. CM7 has stable release so all things should working including this two fuctions...
@Chris : eheh. I understand, but a poll is not great for a bug report.
The "one post, one bug, (multiple thanks)" is to keep the thread as clean as possible. The gallery bug has already been reported, and it is not a thumbnail question.
@Rayman: "Stable version" in the operative systems world has never been a synonymous of "bug-free".
Windows 95 was a "stable version", when it was released.
Obviously bugs are subject to lots of variables. Some systems experience them, some others not.
That's why I proposed the thanks mechanism.
Now, please, keep on topic.

CM7all : deep sleep bugs.
(This seems to be also an ics bug, it should be hardware related (read below)
Symptoms : in deep sleep
1)alarm doesn't work;
(Stefan Gundhor tried lots of combos of roms/bb/rils / kernels/ alarm apps: no success. )
2)wake on volume keys doesn't work;
3) plugging USB charge doesn't wake phone.
The only solution until now is preventing deep sleep, with increased battery draining .

Gallery does not show Google+ photos

Hey guys,
once again, gallery app issues. Even on JB, my gallery does not display my Google+ albums - and I have no idea why. Right now, I also have a Nexus 4 here, which does this without any issues and right from the start. I don't think I'll swap it for my Razr i, cause the battery on the Nexus is much much worse, and (compared to the Razr i) it's huge.
The weird thing is, the option "make available offline" in gallery settings is there, so it seems like Google+ albums *should* work.
Am I the only one with this issue?
Is it possible to try the vanilla google gallery app, or is that a no go because of the different hardware architecture (x86 etc)?
- hendrik
AFAIK we already have the vanilla Gallery app, just compiled for x86 but the app itself is the same vanilla app as on ARM.
Thanks for the info!
Am I the only one with this problem, or is this regular behaviour on the Razr i? If I'm the only one, it's probably not because of the app itself at all. Anyone?
I noticed the current Google Gallery APK to be much bigger than ours, so it might be quite a different one - why can't I just install that one? Does anybody know? It says "couldn't be installed" when I try.
Nope, I have this issue, too. I haven't really looked into fixing it, but I'll keep an eye on this thread.

The MegaPack that is offered in the development thread fixes this by installing the original gallery app and camera app. Unfortunately it's not working for me yet as I'm using the home made fastboot that already incorporates the SD card patch. With the MegaPack the storage manager crashes because it is trying to find /storage/sdcard1, which isn't there.

Improved stock Gallery

Hey all. For anyone that hasn't already done so, the gallery app from the V40 (I'm guessing) is compatible with our devices. Personally feel it's a big improvement over the original.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/lgele...-release/gallery-7-0-45-android-apk-download/
Edit: I've also updated the stock camera and quick memo apps using the current ones on apk mirror and they work well. Mileage may vary on all of this as I'm running a bunch of magisk modules (anxious by whiskeyomega for example which already mods the camera) so that's why I'm not giving a feature run down of each since it may differ on stock devices.

That's the same camera version in my module, Whiskeyomega (not tagging to not bother them) was just where the needed code for the dual speaker and DAC code was from.
Warning for others: Anyways you should always be weary of updating OEM apps via regular install methods (outside of the Play Store) as they aren't always uninstallable via regular methods. And you'll have to delete the data/app/*app name* folder in twrp if you ever end up with a non boot or something.
Also if you ever do want the updated versions from newer phones just download roms, kdz, dumps and extract what you want. You can get newer stuff sooner.

Very good point. I made the mistake of assuming everyone has a recent backup....
Just now I almost had to restore my phone thanks to some apks that I wanted to try out. So please don't be a guinea pig with this kind of thing unless you know you can revert back to a working version if the worst happens. (For reference I tried updating system ui, network, and settings packages that were all just posted recently and ended up uninstalling those due to system ui loop and then subsequent crashes)
That being said, the gallery app seems like a pretty safe update across the devices but everyone's risk is their own to take.
A bit of offtopic - as i browse apkmirror's LG software (https://www.apkmirror.com/uploads/?q=lgelectronics) i can see that there is for example newer version of FM radio. Did anyone try it on V30? How do i know for what phone is this version?

Did not work for me, even when tried as a system app. If you want the FM radio app, I am fairly certain the one ported from verizon in the LG v20 forum works fine.

From the same page I updated my LG Home and Music. I do like the UI improvements on those apps. But I realize those are draining my battery! The screenshot below shows what I'm talking about.
Is there a reason why newer version demands more battery?

You can uninstall an OEM app that you tried to install but didn't work. Just go to Apps & notifications/App info/ then choose your app. If your OEM app doesn't have the uninstall option, look at the top right for the three dot menu, then select uninstall updates. Now your back to where you started.

It works, but not with default theme.
I was able to install almost all updates except FM and I have stock LG V30+ Oreo
NOTE: Don't update system UI, I did it and lost navigation bar and notification bar.
Also if anyone get's into any issue or fc, simply go to apps and from top right three dot menu, select uninstall updates. you should be good to go after that.

Did you install the lg home latest version successfully?
Since yesterday the weather app is crashing when I leave it. I don't know why, nothing has changed but I think is for an update of google play service. It's only my thinking not sure about it.

Alternative widget for Photos/Video?

Are you on the stock rom?
There is a similar widget built into the default Lineage OS gallery.
I'm on the stock rom, and don't plan to root this phone for awhile. The last time I looked for a similar app on the Play Store (I was hoping to use Nova Launcher), I couldn't find anything like it. I had one page in my stock launcher dedicated to the Photo/Video widget.

See if you can get the widget working from this gallery app. This is the Lineage OS one I mentioned before.
Thanks! Works, but not like the old one...
The old version would display one picture or video at a time, was scrollable, and clicking on it would take you to that object in the Gallery app. It can be resized to fill the whole page. That's what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help, though!

Happy to help.
My last suggestion would be to look for an older version of the Sony Album app on Apk Mirror.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-mobile-communications/album/album-9-8-a-0-8-release/
Find the version that still has the features and see if it works on Android 9.
No luck so far...
Could it be possible to copy it from Z1c or Z5c? It was a system app.

You might be able to find the same version of the album app on APK mirror that is on the z5c. You should be able to see the version number of the app in the app info page in the settings.
Or try extracting it from the z1 or z5 if you still have them. I am not a developer so I don't know if this will work for you, but I usually use "my apk" from the playstore to create an APK from apps on my phone. Then you can try to install that APK on the XZ1c.
my apk link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andatsoft.myapk.fwa
Awesome, I'll give that a shot. Thank you!
Animated Photo Widget + does the trick!
