hi , i really confused why the album photo gallery of android 4.1 or 4.3 is too basic and have not any setting or advance option !!
i cant sort picture by Date or Folder , there is no tab for separate Video and image
i can use Quickpic but it really question for me why Android developers design Album Gallery Like this !!
Simply bcs most users care more for eye candy and lesser for an efficient photo gallery. I mean as long as there are alternatives, why should I complain? I don't depend on my album carrying a Sony logo.
For a 2 weeks journey to China I was given a local Iphone. My world was shattered, I am still devastated how this can be the god that people queue up for @ 4am before the shop opens.
thanks for reply .
you know it`s strange for me more than be have complain
yes of course we can use alternative gallery apps like Quick pic . they fast and with a lot of options and Facilities
but they use a space and Rams . also They add Additional switch ( icon) when we want to select a pic or video

To my opinion QuickPic is a full replacement, and it needs only 1/8 of the space. Certainly you do need root to reclaim the space. The integration with Android not as perfect as Album, but is good enough, IMO.
There is also the ICS Gallery but it does not necessarily mean better functions.
I as well don't like the current drive to oversimplify and cripple things to such an extend, that they actually get difficult to manage.

QuickPic hardly uses RAM, is a lot faster, a lot more versatility and options, and if you're really worried about having to press an extra button to open a picture, next time you select a picture or video to be opened, just choose QuickPic (or any other app of your choosing) as default and forget about it.
I'd imagine a stock app doesn't have the full attention of a developer if the same developer is working on the ROM, which is why developers that focus on only one thing or app generally have a better functioning app, such as QuickPic, for instance.

With AT's help you may take a look at Albums's details such as Activities, Providers, Receivers, and Services. That may explain where a lot of the attention lies.
I'd also use another camera app. The Sony camera can be on by 3.parties without user knowledge. I am using Open Camera. It's a lot like Album vs. QuickPic.

paid or free.
The built in camera app is actually one of the best I've ever seen on any phone. BUT, vignette's amount of options is incredible, if you play with the settings correctly you can literally take photos and automatically process them with effects etc that would require a copy of photoshop to recreate them with a standard digital camera. Interface on vignette bugs me though, they should take a hint from the camera on the galaxy.
I have a bunch of different ones installed on my phone, Camera Illusion is really fun because it applies the filter in the live view. I also have Retro Camera, Camera 360 and FxCamera.
They are fun to play with but I hardly ever use any of them.
Vignette and FxCamera
On a lighter side, sniper shot is a fun app.

If you are wanting a gallery app that is smooth as homemade vanilla ice cream and as fast as a Shelby Cobra, give this one a shot. Free @ the app market. You won't be disappointed!
It mops the floor with the stock Android gallery or any other gallery that I have tried.

I've been using Quickpic on my DX for some time now. It is my go to image app. Loads so much quicker than gallery. Good call!

Just do a search on the market for Quick Pic. You'll find it. The link you supplied takes me to a redirect back tomy isp's search page @ Roadrunner.com

I've been using this on my g tablet as well. The stock gallery just doesn't scan my images (tnt lite 314)
Awesome

Just found this today. Much faster than the stock gallery, and for some reason lately my stock gallery doesn't load all my images :/
I have one question though, can we install this and delete the stock gallery? Will that interfere with anything? Cuz I don't use the stock camera or gallery. Camera360 and QuickPic are what i'm using for my photos.
camera360 (found on Amazon, not Android market) and QuickPic are both nice finds,thanks!
Pretty darn quick. I like it! Thanks for posting.
Anyone knows if you can stream pics from your CIFS/NTFS shared folder on your home server?
I've been using Quick Pic on my phone for a while now. And it's just as great on the tablet.
Hi, can QuickPic totally replace the Gallery?
I don't understand how more people are not frustrated by the fact that picture can't be renamed after taking a shot..?
I would like to be able to rename the pictures as soon sa I take them, and from stock camera I can see the picture taken, but I can't rename it. Can QuickPic be accessed from camera (review of pic - right bottom corner)?
Thanks, Cheers,
Nenad

I do know that after installing QuickPic, I went into File Explorer and navigated to my DCIM folder where my pics are stored and clicked on a .jpg file, then the box popped up asking me which app I wanted to open the file in, Gallery or QuickPic. I set the check mark to "Always use this selection" and then tapped on QuickPic and made it the default .jpg viewer. You will need to do this for each graphics format type; .png, .tif, etc.
I do not know about the camera preview because I am running CM7 at the moment on my tablet. Anyone whom has used CM7 knows the downfall of the camera quality and I try to steer clear of even using the camera with this rom.
You can do as I have stated above, setting the file associations, and see what your camera app uses for the preview when you take a pic with your tablet. Then report back to us and let us know if this, in fact, does actually replace the default preview app for photos from the camera app.
[EDIT] I have just confirmed that if you install QuickPic, when you take a shot with your camera app and tap on the preview selection, it does give you the option of setting QuickPic as the default preview app from the camera.
Nope.
I made a QuickPic a default app to preview Jpegs (and other formats), but the problem is stil there:
From Camera app, when I hit a "image viewer" button, it opens a Galery-like 1 picture screen (on back, the Camera app is shown for taking more pictures).
Is there a way to tweak Android to use QuickPic instead (like "Registry" in Win?)
Cheers
Loving this app
Great app, I've been using it for a while. Was really happy when I found it, the stock Gallery appy is garbage compared to this app.
The pics and icons load right away, instead of sitting there waiting for no reason.

I was using Serendipity 6.3 and now Darky 10.1 rom, and I never got the option to choose - it always shows the preview in stock gallery... Can I remove the it (the stock gallery)?
BTW - I just left a "review" at "App Brain":
The best gallery app (IMHO)! Let me put out the facts others didn't: I just love the "rename" option - one can take a look at the picture, and directly rename it if you want (when the picture is in full screen. It would be nice though if one could do the same from a thumbnail preview - with a long press menu - the option lacks there...). One more minor issue makes me have another picture viewer installed: - if you open a hidden (.name) picture from a folder that has more then one hidden pics, it will show this one, but will not show any oteher by sliding, as would for non-hidden pics. It would be nice to have an option "show/ hidden files", and if the option is on, it would show all the hidden pics, and if it is off, it would show none. If this issue was not present, I would have had just QuickPic installed of all the pic viewers! Once again - thanks for the best gallery app - please make it even better!
Anyone having issues with date sorting? Looking at the details of each photo, the date is right but QuickPic seems to put them in a different order
Hello all-
I downloaded the Camera Launcher for Nexus 7 app on my N7 and it work great except for one thing. No effects! In the app description it said you could access the new camera effects/filters introduced with Jellybean. My question is, how do you activate the effects? I have gone through everything in the app and couldn't find anything. Is anyone here using this and able to access the filters?
Thanks,
wws12
The effects are accessed through the gallery; view the photo after you've taken it, then menu > edit.
There are also special features like big eyes which are available in video mode.
Thanks so much. I was looking for the video effects, but the effects after you have taken the photo were something I didn't know about. Thank you both.
So, I really want to be able to attend a seminar with a whiteboard or projected powerpoint... record the video and audio and text on the whiteboard - WHILE using Note to take handwritten and/or typed notes.
My solution - thought I'd share this accessory structure for recording:
1 piece double sided clear 3M stickies;
1 right angle prism (about 5-8mm) with an aluminized hypotenuse (about $5 on ebay).
Then I just apply the prism to the sticky and on to the front facing camera.
Works GREAT for taking pictures/video while the note stays flat on the desk. Also great for traffic black box video with note 2 on the dash for heads up display hud.
Problems to solve:
1) background video/audio recording THAT ALLOWS S-memo or Polaris Office or similar to be on (still looking - advice greatly appreciated).
2) self-portrait camera shows orientation on screen correctly, but it transposes or mirror flips the image when saving such that text on powerpoint is mirror reversed.
3) FFC has no way to zoom in stock app.

Thats pretty creative.
1) You could setup Multi windows to have camera and S-memo running at the same time, then just minimise( drag the divider bar) the window with the camera. (not sure if that would work)
2) Use any video editing program you have (i.e Windows Movie Maker) and use that to flip the video to how it should be
3) stick the prism to the main rear facing camera, and use that to record and be able to zoom. If the video appears mirrored, then use the video editing program to un-mirror it.

Thanks for your help! I appreciate it.
Unfortunately, I'm on stock because this is a work phone - waiting for the warranty to expire before rooting so can't add camera app to multiwindow yet. This was a great idea though!
The rear camera was a great idea too but it wouldn't let me keep the liveview comfortably on the desk for writing.

This background configurable Secret Video Recorder SVR seems almost perfect;
Seems to lack orientation setting in exif metadata though. Would be tits if I could control horizontal and vertical (maybe with orientation lock?) mirroring flipping transpose live on android itself rather than reencoding on desktop pc in post processing.

Don't sweat it man, no one at your work will even know that your phone is rooted. Well, that is unless they're into rooting phones themselves and really dig into your phones information.
1-You shouldn't let your coworkers dig into your phone like that.
2-If they're into rooting phones, then they won't care anyways.
Go ahead and take the plunge man, you'll be glad that you did!!!

Look at an app called Arcnote. Does exactly what your want and more
This is a good point. Just haven't had the need yet. And I'm concerned about a hardware failure... warranty not being honored due to root... and having to pay our have firm pay. Maybe this is obviated by insurance though?
Arcnote is awesome but seems to require focus and manual capture of pictures of slides.
Secret video recorder svr from zero noise dev team is exactly what I was looking for for background video and audio recording. This thing is sweet! Five stars. Arc note would be badass if it could post process video... detecting each slide transition, capturing a photo and then doing its auto zoom, keystone magic. Thank you for the recommendation nonetheless!

Solutions for your warranty problem :
1. Use a a one click root & unroot program called framaroot v 1.4.1 : See this link for tutorials - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1mQz4n-Z-M
download : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
3. When ever your sending this phone for any repair just one click unroot.
2. Use Trainagle away app from play store to reset your binary ( this is what your warranty guys check) - Now you are back to factory Cheers !
Thanks good call

Nice one... Will surely test this
Loved the camera app. There's a noticeable difference in pictures taken.
Nice, thanks.
A couple of points, though:
- the camera app does not want to save pictures on my phone (nor on my wife's) unless I also install the gallery app
- the panorama function does not seem to work no matter what
Edit: OK, panorama works on my wife's Moto G 3gen. It does not work on my OnePlus One.
:good::good: Cool, I should follow you and do the same thing. Hope it's great.
Hey thanks for sharing, does this improve photos quality?
Doenst have an option to save the pictures and videos on SDcard, just save on internal memory
Thanks for sharing.. Really good camera app.. Use it as my default and even freeze the default one comes with ROMs.. The only problem I have is Flash light.. Sometimes it failed even though it is in on mode. Otherwise really good camera.
It is certainly a great app, however, I wonder why it doesn't allow to change the iso values. Thanks a lot!

As you said that the camera app does not want to save pictures on your phone, you need to check your file manager. The pictures taken from HTC Camera doesn't show up in the stock gallery, so to view this pictures you need to use HTC Gallery or any other file manager.:good:
Thanks a lot for sharing needful content, I was really aware of some of the points mentioned above.
