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.
I'v been trying to find the Gallery 3D app for Hero (with pinch previews) but I can't find it Does anyone have a download link for it?
go to market and type on search bar : gallery 3d and you can find it.
hum..... I'm finding a 3D gallery without picasa sync.... anyone give a suggestion for me?
If you are looking for the standaard Gallery 3D just make a kitchen here, http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/newk/newk-fv170.php
Make your mod, and then extract the mod op your computer,
then your can find Gallery 3D
It has to flash in recovery , Why don't You try elelinux one?
Does 3D gallery work well on hero?
Mine is very slow on loading pictures.
No, it's too laggy.
elinux rom come with it. so far no lag at all. but maybe lag a bit while load the picture from device.
elelinux has no log here for me
Okay so I just found some cool new apps that work on Vegan GTAB5.1.1...
task manager
improved performing gallery3d
launcher2 with wallpapers fitting entire screen...not zoomed
app center ( for market )
screen shots below....
3D Home is another home launcher app but in 3d...
video player app is also different and now all videos fill the screen. HD video plays smooth now and is in sync. This only launches from the 3d home app
programs app is in 3d and only launches from the 3d home
Never got the 3d launcher you show in the picture. Launcher apk didn't have any kind of options to edit either. Looked cool in the pics, sticking with launcher pro for now.
Do we need to move the .apk's to system/app then change permissions for this to work?
Can't wait to try these out when I get off work.

I believe it was launcher2.apk for 3Dhome. It states that it is 3d home when you install it. Simply place these apk's on your sdcard and install with file explorer of your choice. The 3d home doesn't allow additional widgets just launches the better apps. The other home launcher allows for full widget support and full screen wallpaper. No forced zooming on your wallpaper after you select it.
This is a neet launcher. Thanks. You were right, I loaded the ilauncher.apk. I just converted my sealab 2021 DVD to flv so I could take some laughs on the road this week. So fare the video looks great and no weird sync issues. Very cool. Just wish now I could use the movie player outside this launcher, its snazzy but I always(after a few weeks) end up back with LP.
Thanks again
Can't get it working

You have to install all of the apks that are associated with the 3dhome.
programs.apk, shuttlevideoplayer.apk, gallery3d.apk. The only widgets that work on the 3dhome are the two that came with it. Weather and news.
What to search for in market?

Thanks, Tested all ok on vegan but uninstalled didn't like the rights they requested, I have only kept that market...

I was able to get it installed but the only problem I have, is the music icon isn't associated with anything. So whenever depressed nothing happens. Do you have any idea what is wrong? Also this is by far one of the best docks that I've seen to date. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
on 3d launcher cant get widgets on home screen
anyone figure it out??
I have tried the 3D launcher in the past, but due to complications, and not linking and customization available, it wasn't for me.......too bad though it was different!

-PowerAMP (the best music player, i just love it) if u like to listen music i recommend thi
-Skype (like on pc only cant make a video call)
-dead space (best graphics, cool stuff)
-my tracks (a great app for trips, hikes shows avarage speed, top speed, total distance, your track and so on ;D)
-tuneIn radio (if u like to listen radio)
-Astro file manager (browsing through files, copying, extracting, etc.)
-Unified Remote Control (perfect when ure listening music, watching films etc. on ur pc, adjust volume, set full screen, change to next song, + youtube remote control, mouse itself, watching photos - its like a remote control of ur pc, like a tv remote ;D)
and rest of really cool games:
-need for speed shift
-nova
-doungen hunter
-sandstorm
-AirAttack
almost forget my favorite game of all times - Speedx 3D never got bored
Nice Thank you !
For games, I should mention Asphalt 5.
It works like a charm on some ROMs, without overclock.
The video is fine with Chainfire 3D and setting the quality to low, but on some ROMs is is just slower or the response to the accelerometer is.
Gameloft doesn't like X8 and the Asphalt 5 free won't run.
So, just download the game AND data from the internet and follow instructions.
need for speed shift working on stock rom
but on GingerDX 017 not working

How did you get adobe lash player, I cant find it in the market.
+ the apps are free
+ widgets, icons and the user interface is beautiful
- many Sony and Google apps have become big and heavy pigs in terms of app size as wll as memory foot-print
- user interface, settings and options have been stripped down or hidden, sometimes to a level that cripples the app
- permissions required are numerous, sometimes without any connection to the function of the app
I personally found that functionally there are sometimes better alternatives. I personally like the VLC player much better than Movies and Walkman, even though it still has some rough edges.
What clever replacements are you using for Messenger, Album, Calendar, Phonebook, Musik Player, Movies, Barcode Scanner, File Browser, Internet Browser, Contacts, Email, Maps, Notes and the likes?
Album - Quickpic
Video - MX Player, because can be used together with Bravia (HW+)
Music - PowerAmp Trial Version, it's free but trial XD But you can still used =)
File Browser - ES File Manager and X-Plore
Browser - Baidu Browser and Opera Mini
Notes - Sony Note stock and Colornote
Personally, I don't care about beautiful UI, what I need is easy and simple navigation =)
Jet Audio Plus and Root Explorer are must have apps for me, along with Chrome!

I tried Jet Audio. It would be a typical example of what I mean. Walkman has 11 Mb and not even half of the functionality. I am looking more for "lean" alternatives. But for someone who loves listening to music Jet Audio is a great alternative, same as PowerAmp.
Personally I don't like Chrome. I am using Dolphin. It is the best I found for me, but not completely happy.

On the long run what works best has a straight design. Bauhaus. I think an app can be beautiful and not be worthless eye candy at the same time. I tried some Notes apps and found you are right, Sony Notes is among the best, and it IS simple and beautiful.
QuickPic is a golden tip. 0.5 Mb vs. 13 Mb of the Sony Album. For what? Memory foot print in operation is similar, only that QuickPic unloads from my memory immediately. And it has only the permissions which are needed for it's function. More over, the Sony Albums thumbs are to tiny for my taste. To me, QuickPic is really a worthwhile alternative.
It was already worth to open this thread

Yeah I used to love PowerAmp. But switched to JetAudio because it made me remember the old days (on pc) and completely forgot about it now. JetAudio offers a few additional features to PowerAmp anyway. Walkman is all about looks and animations. If you want slim players you check stuff like Shuttle.
I used chrome because it syncs across my phone, windows laptop and ubuntu laptop as well and has all my bookmarks and history.

You can just resize thumbnails with two fingers.
but when you try to name alternatives, for example jetaudio, then its only the half truth. the full functional jetaudio costs 2,99euro. so this is a minus....compared to walkman app. isnt it?^^
I saw the word "Bauhaus" ...maybe take a look into NexMusic. am using that. and it has a really nice feature: it not uses much battery
also when you speak about quickpic, you have to speak about the functions of the sony album. without sony album you will not be able to change lockscreen background wallpaper.
so you have to keep it on phone, if you need it for that. and if you keep it on phone, then you dont need quickpick, or you like to use two galleries?
for the notes, i use google keep. yeah i know privacy and all that stuff. but i use it only for useless "lists". not for private stuff.
its functional, you not have to use the sync. it looks good...and its fast.
the sony weather app/widget. i not like it. i love it clean and fast. i guess many use the same like me, 1weather?
the first thing i deleted was the smallapps and smallapps manager. and also the calculator, im usign a calculator from playstore, the one i use need NO privacy rights.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android2.calculator3&hl=de and it has a pretty light theme, important for me
a sony app i like? smart connect.
Am i the only one that likes most of stock Sony apps?i really like Album app cause its different and unique.i dont care for memory footprint that much.but thats my opinion,i know alot of people prefer alternatives

1Weather was my previous favourite. It is one of those apps that are created to harvest user data. I mean I agree it's great no-cash app and for those who don't mind, that's the price for it. I used it in a sort of modified state (Permissions, I found 3 data collectors there). Lately they implemented a lot of bloat into it. I tossed it and now I am having EZWeather. That's a sparse weather app. Arcus is also fine for a richer weather app, but still has some rough edges (in oarticular the widgets). The near future weather data is good.
the first thing i deleted was the smallapps and smallapps manager. and also the calculator, im usign a calculator from playstore, the one i use need NO privacy rights.

Small apps -> same here. I don't see why it is there in the first place. I'd rather like to have this space available for launching 4 or so selected apps from my regular collection, or direct access to some settings.
The calculator is brilliant.
Thanks for the tips! Useful.

Me Too but I Already using cm11 and I cannot use stock keyboard
But Album and Walkman Are Installable on it and I Using them
Waiting for official 4.3
Sony Home is awesome, especially 6.1. I tried a number other launchers but returned. The Sony Home is really good, considering the small app size it offers a lot, foremost a high level of easy functionality. For me the only other one that seems to be a keeper is Sicksky.
I like the phonebook, the keyboard, and conversations, too. Most of the Sony apps are actually pretty good. So are Google apps. They are good, but some of them have become hefty items. That applies even more for the Google apps. And also, I like manual not automatic. I know there are others, too.

I am using VLC Player which is simple and works pretty well. But it's big. MX is very nice and works really well. However, as well too big for my taste. I am still looking for a kind of QuickPic equivalent but for video. UPDATED COMMENT: I see now why VLC is big. It opens everything available on Earth, Venus and Mars. The only thing it failed to open was a can of worms.
Shall strip down the entire ROM and and just leave it with core functions, then load apps that only use permissions needed for their function and are lean and muscular.
Alternative Apps: Small - Simple Interface - Least Permission
Album: QuickPic
Barcode Scanner: Barcode Scanner (by Zxing), or QR & Barcode reader (Secure)
Calculator: Calculator (CyanogenMod)
Calendar: Google Calendar
Browser: Tint for small + pretty + privacy, Boat for a medium sized better featured browser
Display Adjustment: Yet Another Auto Brightness
File Manger: inKa File Manager
Keyboard: OEM 6.1
Launcher: SickSky for Small, clever and elegant, otherwise hand s down Xperia Home 6.1
Messaging OEM (Conversations.apk)
Mobil Data Counter: Data Counter Pro
Music Player: NexMusic
Navigation: Mapfactor GPS
Notes: OEM 9.1
Screen Lock: EZ Screen Off
Text to Speech: Google Text to Speech
Video + Music Player: VLC
Weather: EZWeather or Notification weather for minum weather app, Arcus (but not finished)
Widgets: Wizz Widget
Wifi: Wifi Manger
More suggestions welcome!

We were talking abt photo album previously. I hope I don't sound too patronizing but to everyone who hasn't done so, I would suggest to try QuicPic. I dare to say it is better than the Sony Album at much much smaller size and with no obscure permissions.
The Tint browser is another top recommendation. Now that I got the hang on it, it just works beautiful.
Who knows a good calendar? Not 16 Mb, just a simple calendar which syncs with Goggle calendar and shows an agenda, too.
Or, alternatively a semccalendar.apk (together with the calendarprovider)?
