Best alternative gallery - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was just wondering what in everyone's opinion is the best alternative gallery app for the nexus 6? As I really don't like Google photos at all.

i like quick pic
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&hl=en

I use quickpic as well but an older version before they were bought out by Cheetah mobile. Many refuse to use any of their software as they bloat it down with pointless ads and have shown they cant be trusted.

[Q] Android Image Editing App for G-Tablet?

One of the big things I REALLY need to be able to convert to using Android and my G-Tablet as a complete replacement on the road is an Image Editor that supports layers (filters as well would also be nice). I know there are a couple out there for the Chrome Web OS, so I would assume there has to be something at least as good for the Android? Or is there a way to run Chrome Apps under Android (or in one of the Android browsers)?
TIA!
I know that there's a Photoshop Express for Android but I'm not sure if it supports layers.
However, the Canvas App (in this thread) from the Adam port does support layers. I haven't had much time to play around with it so I'm not sure how 'robust' an app it is but you might want to check it out.
Photoshop Express for Android unfortunately doesn't have layers. Maybe in the future
Thanks for the Canvas link. Going to give that, and a web-based offering called Splashup a try tonight.

Market claims that while my Nexus One is compatible, that the G-tab isn't. Have you been able to run it on the G-tab?
If its the sketchbook mobile app it does work however u can't be running began or tnt. Needs to be zpad or CM

Have you tried Picsay Pro? It's a paid app but well worth it. Does layers.
I'm finding that many of these apps do "layers", but they don't do what "I" need from layers. For the sorts of things I do, I copy part of another picture, and then "Paste as New Layer". Both Canvas and PicSay support layers, but only for doing artwork in the program on the layer, which isn't a "true" layer where you could use a layer to try and add a color correction, and then an effect, and blow one or the other of those away by just dropping the layer.
Haven't been able to get to an APK for the Autodesk product. Evidently the "Market Fix" for Vegan, et al doesn't fix the entire market (I also can't seem to find Jet Car Stunts, but that's another thread).
The online editors are Flash based, but usually once you start to get into any heavy lifting they crash. I am going to take a look at Aviary since I think they have an HTML 5 based version.
FWIW...

SO, were you able to convince the market to let you install it, or did you have to sideload somehow, or... ?

Downloaded from the Market -- nothing special done...
Of course, who isn't sporting a custom build.prop and fingerprint ID on this board?
;-)
I can rip off the APK and post it if it is required -- though I thought this thread was just seeking recommendations...
I just wanted to post that the app does work fine -- even on Vegan...

Pointers to the thread that worked for you would be appreciated. I've tried the normal with stopping the market, clearing the cache, stopping the framework, rebooting - and while that shows more of the market, it doesn't show all of it.
Yes, I am looking for recommendations, but it's hard to say if a recommendation will actually work without trying it. I am not trying to avoid paying for anything, but I can't pay for it if the market won't let me DL it
Seriously, if someone can help me setup my market so I can see it, I will be more than happy to pay for the product.
In fact, I'm kind of surprised that more application providers don't offer an option to order and DL direct for just such circumstances. Does Autodesk really care if Google gets their cut?

Search for the .apk with the browser. I think I found mine at appbrain or something like that.

Appbrain just takes me back to the market, so no help there...
OK, bought Root Explorer, and updated my Build.Prop. Took 24 hours, but the market finally recognized my Viewsonic as compatible with the Autodesk app, and I FINALLY was able to buy and install. The controls aren't the most intuitive, but it does exactly what I needed it to. Thanks!
What build prop are you on? mine doesn't recognise...can someone pls rip the apk?

You'd want to get it through the store so you can get upgrades anyway

this app contains "adult content" so the microsoft will not allowed..
nice ! great app works on dft 7714 on my hd7 ... there isnt a search option but none the less a great app . btw hot images is in the market place and has adult content.
Honestly, by no means to offend you, but I think this app isn't really appropriate to be distributed here, as it contains hardcore porn images and not all users around here are 18 years old.

+1 on the HD7. App non responsive, seems to hang on page load.
Shame as the app looks very promising, will check back for an updated release.

Have tried the app on 7392, 7004, 7712 and 7720 (whilst upgrading yesterday). Same issue with sporadic load on all O/S versions, seems to be hit and miss on each page because if you reload enough it will eventually work.

what is the best android app to download youtube video

what is the best android app to download youtube video for offline viewing? name some.
I don't know of any but I believe there are none on the play store as this violates googles app policies. I dont think google wants people pulling videos off youtube. Seems like I've read this somewhere else. Maybe others will home in.
i'm using tubemate
it is perfect
( there is another one named tubemote it is not working)

Not currently on the Play market so you have to go to their site to grab it. Use your Tablet browser and there should be a download link when you view the site:

Google+ Photos as Gallery Replacement Sucks

how the hell can you "select all" photos from this app? as it stands, if i take 50 photos, i need to go through one by one and select them to send them somewhere or move them? this is absurd.
I agree. Try piktures from the play store. That's a good gallery app

This is probably the one thing that made me say WTF. I'm going with cyanogenmod gallery from the play store.
Use quickpic it's like the stock gallery from KitKat
This is the thing that bugs me about Android. They got rid of perfectly good standalone apps and want to tie everything in with their services.
I don't want Play Music -- I want to go right to my songs and playlist with one click.
I don't want Photos App -- for the same reasons above.
I don't want Email to be bundled in with Gmail.
It's getting to the point where soon I will have to replace all of the built in apps with apps that simply work better.
QuickPic is defatenaly the way to go.. nice find!

Yep. Gallery, Messaging, Music Player and Browser are areas where OEM's like LG and Samsung, etc.., def have a major advantage over Google's Android decision and design team.
I just tap and hold on the first picture, then tap all the other pics I want to move. Then hit the share button
Quickpic is what I use. Cm gallery isn't half bad though

which is fine for 2-3 pics. but for 78? not so much. its a terrible design choice, especially when batch select was available in the stock gallery app

quickpic is a great find for sure.
If you use the light theme with Quickpic, it pretty much looks like a built in Android app anyway. Even has the latest material design.
I actually like the G+ pictures app and was using it before I got my N6.
I have to say that I am also extremely disappointed with Google's photo gallery app. It sucks indeed. I am coming from the LG G3 and their gallery app was awesome. The layout was wonderfully displayed and user friendly. Not to mention all of the great features it offered, such as add albums, move photos and videos around and also to hide and then lock selected albums. If we could get that on the Nexus 6, that would truly be an epic win for us all.
Use Motorola Gallery (bundled with Motorola Camera), available in this forum or in the Moto G section.

stop crying about this. did you even google for the gallery apk? it is in the nexus 6, in any aosp build. it works on the nexus 6 just fine. all you had to do is google for the apk and install it, instead of crying about it. btw, here is the gallery apk, just install it like any other app http://goo.gl/cfB8ak

i mean i was complaining about the new stock app. you're suggesting something that's not the stock app. i did lots of googling and am well versed in the alternatives i've found and what was suggested here. does not change the fact that the stock app sucks. not really crying either. i find your hostility odd...
anyway, i've been using quickpic. it's pretty outstanding

Best apps designed for note 8

Hi all,
First time note user. i was wondering what are some good apps to install on the note 8. are there any apps specially designed for note 8 ?
Can you guys post the list of apps you use ?
Thanks for all the help!
I have hundreds of apps on my phone, many of which take advantage of the size, camera etc.
But specifically for the SPen function:
You have to install the old Action Memo.
Myscript Nebo - the Play store will tell you it doesn't work on our device, so you'll need to download it from apk mirror or similar. The handwriting to letter conversion is second to none.
Finally, Squid is a 3rd party notebook app that is great, really nice design.
Those are my less known pen apps.

Mind sharing the apk for my nebo and action notes since both of those are not in the playstore for us?
Sketchbook for Galaxy - you can get it from Galaxy Apps, s-note is the older version of samsung notes, but it has more functionality and I think we have a thread here how to get the best version, since it's not the newest one.
Most drawing/ sketching/painting programs will have much better functionality due to pointing precision of s-pen, but there are too many to list, but my kids love recolor from galaxy apps

He's right above, find the Action Memo topic for all the files and instructions!
Here's Nebo:
https://mega.nz/#!jM1hXbrb
It asks for decryption key.
Microsoft remote desktop beta and onenote works very well with the s-Pen
Please try this for Nebo, not understanding why the share is working different on that side. I keep trying to pick links where you need no special hash/code

No, unfortunately. It's a paid version now, and blocked for download from Play Store because it's a tablet app? Frustrating.
