[MOD/PATCH] Gallery3D higher res | Development stopped

Development stopped
Although this mod had great success with several thousands of different users, just as everything else, it has been surpassed by time. Since it was first introduced, many competent devs made great changes to the Gallery3D's functions. These changes made it hard to keep up with the latest developments without introducing bugs, and due to the lack of time, I might have neglected it sometimes. Luckily, this mod has already been in CyanogenMod for a while, meaning all of it's users got the latest and greatest of this mod, as well as others. So instead of patching the Gallery manually, check out the latest version of CyanogenMod.
If you want to use this in other custom ROMs, either point your devs to this post and ask them to compile in the relevant changes from the github link, or extract the apk from the latest CyanogenMod since it will contain many more fixes and performance improvements that have been added in the last few months.
Thanks to all who contributed to this project!

UPDATE 12.2.2011.
Well, thanks to user de_MarK, the black borders problem has now been fixed! Should be working on most devices without any problems.
Thanks again!
[Comparison]
Here is a demo of how this will improve your images if you don't touch VMMaxHeapSize. If you do increase the former, expect even better results.
I found an image of a transmitter on top of a building to be best for comparison since it has very high contrast and sharp lines. Screenshots were taken off my Desire using DDMS.

Notice how the transmitter and power cables look differently.

[Will it work?]
Reported to work on various devices and various ROMs. If, by any chance, this doesn't work on your phone, report here.
User Airwalker82 reported that even 12MPx images are loaded without problems. Thanks for that!
[Installation]
If your ROM didn't come with Gallery3D preinstalled:
Uninstall any versions of Gallery3D present and install the .apk.
If your ROM came with Gallery3D or the above method fails:
You will need to remove the existing Gallery3D.apk in /system/app. You can use any method you prefer for this, however, those owning a Desire will have to do it from recovery through ADB shell.
Code:
Step by step:
1) Connect the phone to the PC
2) Open a Command Prompt (WinKey+R->type 'cmd'->enter)
3) Using the command 'cd', navigate to the directory where the Android SDK is installed
4) Use 'cd' again to enter the 'tools' directory
5) Type 'adb reboot recovery'
6) The phone should restart
7) Once in recovery, type 'adb shell' to get the shell interface
8) Now type 'rm -rf /system/app/Gallery3D.*'
9) Disconnect and reboot the phone
Now simply install the .apk.

[You can skip the text, download and demo are below]
I don't know how many of you have noticed, but, although beautiful, Gallery3D doesn't really load images at their full resolution, unlike the default Sense Gallery. Infact, the difference is quite dramatic on my phone. So, today I decided to get the sources and see if something can be done. And indeed it can!
So I present to you my patched version of Gallery 3D!
Although I couldn't manage to get it to load full res images, the difference is quite noticeable (but it isn't anything like Sense )
Anyhow, what's going on here? As some of you may or may not know, Android has a VERY limited amount of memory allocated for bitmaps which are necessary for showing images. For an example, even with the best phones today, you can't load a 5mpx image as a bitmap. That's why Gallery3D downscales images when loading them. The problem is, it doesn't upscale them when zooming in! So, what I did is I downloaded the latest sources from AOSP and changed the downscaling algorithm a bit so the images are downscaled 2x less (which equals to 4x more detail). Now, since I only have my Desire at hand, I couldn't really test this properly, however, this should experience no problems with images that are 5mpx (that's what I was able to test).
I would, however, like you to try and load some larger images (something of a DSLR, like 10mpx) and report on how it works.

Can't say for sure. It wouldn't install for me over the default one I had installed. However, if it came with your ROM, you just might be able to overwrite it. Try it and report back

14.1 mpx images look great in the thumbs! A bit slow on initial load, but seems ok after that.
Does anyone know of a screenshot application that can run on non-rooted devices? I'd like to take a screenshot so I can show how the 14.1 mpx thumbs show up like.
One thing though - It picks up album art, and as a result I have numerout galleries showing that are just an artist/album folder. Is there a way to include options that allow you to select which albums to show/hide?
thanks for the great work!

Works great on defrost 2.6a rom!
Nice dude !

DDMS from the Android SDK should work on non-rooted devices. (Nice guide here: http://www.androidcentral.com/taking-screenshots-without-root) Just remember, if you are on Linux, you need to start it as root.

Hmm, well, no way of including the show/hide without some serious rewriting. However, if the album art is in it's separate folder, you could try the .nomedia trick (just be careful and make sure the folder is empty before applying .nomedia). If it isn't, the best option might be to just encode art directly into the mp3 tag. Some of my MP3s have album art in their tags so it doesn't show up in Gallery.
This isn't a problem of the app itself, more of the Android Content Provider for media which scans all folders for images, videos and songs.

i have made a zip file from this so you can install this via the recovery shell, it will overwrite the original "Gallery3D.apk" file in /system/app
tested and confirmed working in OpenDesire 3.1.0

you should use the recovery mode in "ROM Manager", this makes it a little easier for you.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.koushikdutta.rommanager
Install the apk from market, than install the "update.zip" from inside "ROM Manager", boot into recovery, at the red triangle sign press & hold the UP volume button than press power again, than choose "Apply update.zip from sdcard" press power again and your in the recovery mode as in "R5 Desire" but without the risk of bricking your device.

thx for the great patch
and a request, could you speedup the photo loading speed? i noticed the loading speed is slow even if i open a 800*480 jpeg file (yes, original Gallery3D had such issue too), I use sandisk class2 16G sdhc tf

could you speedup the photo loading speed?

There's nothing much that can be done since the app uses standard Android APIs for loading images. However, I do beleive that the speed of your SD (class 2 is the slowest) plays a major role in the speed of the loading process.

hello, thanks for this mod!, i have just installed and I have lost my picasa online albums!!!. Can someone help me to fix it?
or at least how to restore the original froyo gallery (i have flashed the .zip file with recovery)
Thanks

Installation Instructions:
BACKUP First!
Flash back to stock via Odin.
Master clear (THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE!).
Root with one-cick root. (note you can skip this step if you copy update.zip to the root of your sdcard)
Copy rom to SD Card.
Install Rom Manager
Flash Clockwork mod recovery from within Rom Manager.
Reboot into recovery.
Choose Reinstall packages (might have to do twice).
Choose Install zip from sdcard.
Choose zip from sdcard.
note: You can skip the rom manager and rooting steps if you already have the CWM update.zip. Just copy it back to the root of your sdcard after master clear. Then copy the rom over and reboot into recovery.
It will now take a long time to reboot. It should ask you if you want to backup and restore. Please select this option. It will automatically apply the lagfix. After everything is finished and installed I recommend some additional steps.
Open up Spare Parts and set window and transition animations to Fast instead of normal.
Reboot phone again to make sure android id applies successfully.
Enjoy!

Awesome. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions!

Ill give it a shot. See how something different performs for a change. With your install procedures, you should mention that if people already have the update.zip on the root of their phone they wont have to re-root the phone. Just make sure you have a backup in case master clear removes it. Makes it a much easier process.
I am going to give it another try. I don't flash Rom's as much as most so I forgot a key step. Will report my findings here once flashed.

This looks absolutely beautiful. Well done!

Could you try making a version with the 1280 kernel??

Does BT voicedial work?

What if i flash ji6 modem, would it work? Need to have working wired headset for calls. Thanks

So far I am still waiting on the Android bootscreen. After installing the zip, I selected backup and restore, it did its thing and went back to the same screen. I did it a second time to not mess anything up. Now it has been sitting for about 7 min. I will give it some more time and see if it ever boots past this screen.
So I am unable to flash this. The first time is as I stated above. So I wiped back to JF6. Did Master clear which I have never had to do with a Rom before. Went back through the steps and now it is stuck at the bootscreen again. What is weird is it went to the bootscreen and then it went to the battery screen. Now I am stuck on the bootanimation again. I can not recommend this Rom in its current state. It should not be this way to flash, and I can not even get it to go past the boot screen.

mixing a captivate modem with an i9000 kernel tends to result in lack of voice in phone calls...

Ok. How long did it take to start after getting to the boot screen? I have been stuck for 5 minutes on my newest flash without the USB plugged in. I flashed Assonance and it booted up within 2 minutes after it reached the boot screen.

Going to let my phone die this evening (calibrating battery); but I will try this out tomorrow morning and post results.
Do you have the Voice Dialer app in the drawer?

Great ROM so far. Haptic feedback is best so far and GPS seems to be great. Is there any way to get original messaging back. I don't see an option to scroll through contacts.

This might be a really been question but. I always see quadrant and unpack scores. A) what apps so I. Download to test these. And b) what. Does each score represent. Please excuse my nieveness but I'm curious

LinPack tests raw CPU speed in MFLOPS. A 15-16 is a standard Captivate Score. An 18 is pretty effing high, but probably also because it's overclocked to 1.3 ghZ
Quadrant tests GPU speeds as well as CPU i believe. The 1st part of the test is CPU based, so Captivate tends to be slower in the 1st part of the Quadrant test compared to Nexus One 2.2+ sometimes or some of the newer Droids, but on the GPU part where the program takes the phone through many graphical tests, Captivate & Galaxy S phones in general trump all because the graphics chip is phenomenal in the phone.
Hope this helps!

[ROM]We're Back! [01/17/12] 3.2.1 Honeylicious Flash Glass HC Stock Based Kernel

Honeylicious 3.2.1 Flash Glass​
Now that the Holidays are over, and worked has slowed down somewhat, I have more time to spend with the thread.
Honeylicious was created for myself, by myself so I wouldn't have to rely on someone else's work.
I got sick of the "stick figure UI" that Google continues to produce, so what you'll see here is something more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so if it doesn't please you, you can download
The UI has had a "glass" filter applied through Photoshop to give it a "glassy" finish.
You won't see any custom kernels here, nor revision updates, as these are all tried, tested, and true final releases.
What you will find is one of the fastest, smoothest, most dependable, and stable stock kernel based ROMs out anywhere for the Acer Iconia A500.!
Please read the "Install Instructions" carefully, and/or watch the Video Tutorial on how to flash correctly.
The 3.2.1 Youtube Fix is included in this Rom thanks to Civato.
Special thanks to Civato @ XDA for all his help in getting the camera working properly with this ROM, for the original apks he had given me, which have been changed immensely since that time, although there are a few png files that still remain the same, and all the other help and inspiration he has provided.
When you purchase a new automobile, it doesn't come with free driving lessons, neither does Android, and this ROM doesn't either. There are a few things you'll need to know before flashing a ROM.
If you're unsure of what you need to do, or simply can't follow the explicit directions in the "Install Instructions" (video included), take this link first to get you started. Click Here for the wealth of information in the A500 Wiki.
If you've previously flashed another one of Thor's ROMs with his custom kernel that he refuses to release the source code for, you may have problems flashing other ROMs until you COMPLETELY WIPE AND FORMAT YOUR SDCard. My personal opinion on this matter is, "if you have nothing to hide, then why are you hiding it?"
DO NOT USE ANY MODS FROM ANY OTHER VERSION OF HONEYLICIOUS AS YOU WILL BE MODIFYING YOUR SYSTEMUI.APK, AND FRAMEWORK-RES.APK WITH AN INCORRECT VERSION AND YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS!
Now, onto the ROM:
It's built on Stock PB G100W 4.010.05_COM_GEN1 found HERE: Stock base (stock kernel), Honeylicious sweet, rooted, tweaked for speed and stability, superuser and Busybox installed, and Bootloader.blob removed, that you've come to know for it's rock solid dependability, stability, and the most speed you can eek out of a stock based ROM, with an Icey Glass Finish!
What Works:
EVERYTHING!
What Doesn't Work:
NOTHING!
This ROM has had all of the useless stock apps that are constantly in "Running Services" ripped out, to give extra battery life, as well as speed. You'll notice in the "Running Apps Settings" screen shot that only two other apps are running (besides "Settings", and "Screen Shot It" which were needed to take the screen shot).
Apps Ripped Out:
Game Loft
Link to Facebook
Music
Nemo Player
Social Jogger
Sound Hound
Zineo
Replace Ripped out Glass App Pack HERE:All apps in one zip file (unzip main file to find individual apps in their own CWM Flashable zip files). So you can add in whatever you like to slow your system down once again.
What Extra Apps are included:
System Apps Added
Polaris Office
Extra Data Apps Added: (you may uninstall through "Settings", "Applications", "Manage Applications").
Avast Android Mobile Security (you need to open it once in applications to setup your preferences for it to run)
SDRescan
AdFree
HD File Explorer
HD BackGammon
HD Solitaire
HD Spades
Bluetooth File Transfer
Dolphin HD Browser
Fancy Widgets (free version)
Shake Calculator
Adobe Flash 11.1
Google Voice
Fancy Widgets has a battery meter included in the Weather/Clock widget. Go into Fancy Widget settings, "clock settings", "extra information", and tick "show battery level" for 1% increment battery levels. Fancy Widgets is the Weather/Clock widget shown in the screen shots, both weather and clock are "MIUI Inspired" style selected in "appearance" settings.
What's Different:
Ice Blue Glass Themed Rom
Five Extra Ice Blue Themed Wallpapers located in the stock Google Wallpapers.
Five Extra Themed Wallpapers located in the stock Google Wallpapers.
ICS Fonts
ICS Clocks
GPS Tweaks have been added to ensure rapid GPS Lock!
Latest Version of Superuser, and binaries.
All the goodness that 3.2.1 brings with it including the Newest Market. As you can see from the running applications Screen Shot there are only two running apps (aside from "settings", and "ScreenShotIt" which needed to be running to take the screen shot.
If you choose not to follow the explicit Install Instructions, not only do you do so at your own risk, I don't want to hear any whining about ANYTHING not working correctly, and post your questions HERE!
This ROM has been tested EXTENSIVELY with absolutely no problems or glitches whatsoever (hence "final release").
Normal disclaimer about how flashing a rom can be dangerous for your Tablet, blah, blah, blah. Please always perform a backup before flashing this ROM. If you some how screw the pooch, consider it "Pilot Error", and I am not responsible.
If you want to flash another kernel with this ROM, you do so at your own risk. I have no idea who's kernel will work with this ROM. If you do choose to flash a custom kernel with this ROM, please direct all questions regarding problems you are experiencing in the thread that you got your kernel from, as they will not be answered here.
If you are having problems with certain apps, remember this is a Stock Based Rom, so please direct your questions regarding said app to the developer of the app.
I took much of my own time and effort building this ROM, typing up instructions, and creating the install video. If you ask a question in this thread that has OBVIOUSLY already been answered in this OP, the only reply you will receive from me is this:
"See Original Post ".

@kjy2010 - First class job of presentation. I refuse to believe that anybody can screw up flashing your ROM after your ultra clear directions. I'm currently running Kekinash's 3.2 near stock rom but I like the look of your effort and I will flash it to my A500 as soon as I've got a spare minute. Once more thank you.

Thank you.
Post back after install, and let us know what you think!
Edit: I've seen some of your boot animations. If you'd care to create a custom animation for this ROM, I'd be more than happy to give you credit for it.

You're very kind I'll give it some thought. I did just complete a small ICS anim, more for fun than anything else but you might like to look at it. I won't bother you by attaching it here but my good friend JaeKar99 has just added a preview gif of my anim to my post which is on the last page of the thread "Publish your A500 Boot Anims......." in the Themes & Apps section.

OP - Thought I'd throw this one at you, it's only a re-hash of what I did before but more specific to your rom. I have to admit that I don't have a single ounce of artistic ability in my body so what you get from me is always pretty simple and uncomplicated. I fear that it might not be "high tech" enough for your needs but worse case it costs neither of us anything and may give you some ideas.
Latest thought.....Should it be of interest to you then the "speed" and "display period" could easily be adjusted to your requirements.

ah, nice work kjy.
No problem on taking it apart and giving it your own twist.
That is why it is there for.
Don't forget it is BigDX is the one that did start this Modding,I changed an modded the ICS stuff into it so it worked on the A500.
I also got settings icones but didn't use them because I think it makes the settings menu out of balance.
If you want some stuff let me know.

3g USB
Hi all, I'm newbie with Iconia A500, I have 16gb wi-fi model, and I want to know if this rom supports 3g USB modem?
I want to know too if can I backup the original ROM before personalize my tablet for don't lose warranty and to recover them if necessary?
Thanks

Remove apps before flash
hi, kjy2010,
As you know, I'm very proud of your previous ROM, which I've flashed before. As I have Quickoffice installed, could be a problem if I remove the Polaris Office apk within the zip file (without winzipping it), before flashing this ROM?
Thanks!

First, you have to have root access, and CWM installed to flash a ROM. There are plenty of threads in this forum on the subject, please use the search function. They will guide you through root, CWM, and backup.
Second, some people have reported success using Civato's 3gmodem patch located in his thread.
Please take these other questions to the appropriate threads, not here

When I try to install Busybox it tells me 'There seems to be a problem with some of the utilities needed to install busybox'. Any suggestions anyone?

Screen turns off during call, won't turn back on
This is the first rom I've installed in a while and this is also the first rom installed after rooting.
I am using the SPH-L720 on NG2
After flashed this rom and the sprint framework, whenever I make a call the screen shuts off, like it's supposed to.
My problem is that the screen won't turn back on.
Power button, home button, tapping the screen, nothing seems to work.
Am I the only one with this issue?
Is there a fix out there for this or should I just try and reflash?

Great rom. Stable and have found no bugs since the release. Is there a way to infinite scroll the homescreen and apps panel? And also.. I saw some mention about build.prop edits for the model but didnt see a difinitive answer. Is there a way to change it to sph-l720? It doesnt make anything not work but it takes the rom from perfect to almost perfect lol. Anyway thanks dev!

I'm also getting the no sim card error, on top of that I am unable to connect to LTE. I have flashed this rom three times with full wipes in between. installed the sprint framework. I have LTE on other ROMS. Is anyone else having this issue?

It rocks
Best rom i've tried in a while. Battery lasts about 2 days for me, great performance, no glitches found so far.
Little question, under Developer options, I can't seem to find the advanced reboot options menu. I know there is one under interface > Reboot options, but that one reboots right away and I want it on the menu while clicking the power buttom.
Thank you developers for this awesome rom.

Battery Life
Can someone post screenshots of this ROM's battery life? I have an SPH-L720, and I am trying to decide if I should wait for the TouchWiz 5.0 Samsung Update.

GSM on Samsung Sprint S4
I like to try this ROM, I'm not using CDMA with this phone,, will the GSM works well with this ROM? Thank You,,

Pretty much everything working fine here. I love the ROM. My only issues are the following:
I had to turn on LTE in the settings and reboot the phone before it would connect to LTE, but it does fine now.
I'm also getting the NO SIM CARD on lock screen issue as someone else reported, but LTE wouldn't work at all if it really had no SIM card.
The other more major issue I have is that I can't mount folders to the storage/emulated/0/Android/obb folder. A lot of games keep huge files in that folder, so I like to keep those files on my SD card and link them to that folder. I couldn't use FolderMount or create symbolic links just to that obb folder,while other folders link just fine. I tried a lot of different things, but nothing lets me link/mount properly inside this ROM's obb folder. Reading through the FolderMount support thread, I found this: h**p://www.devasque.com/foldermount/kk-support.html They said to have my kernel dev (or ROM cooker) look there, and I believe that is now you
Thanks for putting this all together! Still a great DD even without mounting to the obb folder.

Maybe long press on the notification then tap the app info on the right and check block notifications. I haven't had the Phantom VM but I know when I was on an older Kitkat Rom it did the trick

I found out it goes back after every reboot. I just change it to the second option and then the third after every reboot and I'm good.

Google Play Movies & TV
Every time I try to play a movie or tv episode I get "There was an error". Anyone else getting this issue? Anyone know of a fix?

How to Return to Stock?
I want to try this on my SPH-L720 Samsung Galaxy S4 Sprint phone currently running 4.4.2 Stock TouchWiz Firmware. Can someone point me in the right direction how to get back to Stock after flashing a custom ROM like this? I want to be able to return to my phone's former state, meaning I can get OTA updates when Samsung releases 5.0, no root permissions, and no triangle upon booting. I've done ROM flashing on the S2, but I've read many comments with others having problems going back on the S4. I think those problems are with the AT&T and T-Mobile models, yet I am new to this and want to play it safe. Here's what I've found: qbking77. com/development/how-to-unroot-and-unbrick-the-samsung-galaxy-s4/ Thanks!

Model number incorrect
I followed the instructions exactly, and I do have Sprint network access, so this may just be a minor thing, but my model number is showing as GT-I9505G instead of the SPH-L720. Is there a way to fix this? I tried using the suggested XML file and putting it in the data folder and rebooting but no dice there, either.

Edit build prop. The eri.xml file was just for framework.

Thank you to developers of the stuff I used and other devs in the XDA, and the community to make the support for this device possible in this day and age. Thank you for reading this too.
My Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100)
Custom ROM: ResurrectionRemix v5.7.4 by @smart-t78, @Android-Andi, @Ziyan
Custom Kernel: Noob Kernel 22-01-2019 by @bipindr123
(Gapps pico package for Android 6)
Problem I had:
- extSD Card slot dead.
- Power button plastic button is gone, so I had to use pen to boot the device.
Extra stuff I did:
Installed Lawnchair 2 because the default homescreen has ugly shadow overlay on left and right sides of the screen when rotated on landscape.
Used Fontster (XDA thread download link dead) to change system wide font to Open Sans. (I wanted Google sans, but I'm okay with it)
Installed Seven Time - Resizable Clock to have a black colored clock widget because the default clock widget is unable to apply customizations.
Installed Nexa Icon Pack
Rooted with SuperSU using Custom Recovery; TWRP
Installed SmartPack Kernel Manager to tweak CPU governor, GPU governor, and I/O Scheduler. I basically wanted to make 2 profiles, a battery saver and other balanced. (If you insist, I will share what are my profiles exactly. But I know the profiles vary user-to-user, so you are better making your own following this guide and knowing what governors your rom supports)
Just in case if someone wanted to replicate the same customizations, here are some instructions:
The usual discretion:
I am not responsible for any bricked devices or anything you break something in the process. Please do some research on your own to stay on the safety zone.
Install a workable custom recovery like TWRP. There's some guide in the Samsung Tab 2 forums which has a method of rooting and installing TWRP, at the same time through Odin. But I say you should flash the modded TWRP by @Android-Andi to have the best chance of installing RR rom.
After getting to TWRP (By turning your device off and then pressing and holding Power + Volm Up buttons together), wipe everything. Whatever you see dalvik, cache, internal storage, system storage. Just tick all and wipe.
Copy the ResurrectionRemix LATEST ROM .zip file, and Noob Kernel .zip, and your choice of Gapps.zip package in an external SD Card. Now read this carefully: Make sure you download the latest RR from the androidhost link in that thread, LOOK AT THE UPLOAD DATE. I'd gone with the, "Top one must be the latest" rule and downloaded the oldest RR version.
Of course, you need that SD card chip put inside your Tab, but here's one thing I just wanted to say: My Tab had the extSD card slot damaged, so I had to first copy those files (3) from my PC to Tab's internal storage while on TWRP mode (after wiping). Fortunately, TWRP allows tab to connect to PC and do the file transferring normally. And flashing the files from internal storage worked!
Now after you had wiped the whole Tab, go to Install and first install RR.zip, then do wipe dalvik/cache (There will be an option on screen after RR installation has finished), then install the NoobKernel.zip, wipe dalvik/cache, then install gapps. Now follow step 6.
DON'T reboot system from there. Back, Back, Back to TWRP home screen, and power off the device from "Reboot". And power on from power button.
Congratulation if you see the Resurrection Remix animation boot screen and it will do the apps optimization loading, and then you will be in the Welcome-screen of the ROM.
Feelings:
This tablet was like a decade old and all this time it was in some garbage place. It also had some worms in cocoon inside . I dissemble it. Cleaned with ISO propyl. Then searched XDA forum and installed RR after a lot of research spanning 3 days. Now when I see my boi ON, it makes me smile with tears. I had so many memories with tablet when I was a child. I used to play Jet pack Joyride and Clash of Clans and some more damn nostalgic games. It made me happy to see it alive right now. I plan to use it as secondary monitor with the help of spacedesk app and my router. I will suggest if you have some old devices hanging in the garbage-yard, take it out and do some custom ROM installations, modify it and enjoy the nostalgic beauty moment at the time.
You can also share your reviving journey in this thread, or any other stories about your Tab you have.

F
