Which rom are you on?
Edit: use quickpic app instead.. Its Way faster than the 3D gallery..
What Good is the eye candy if it takes ages just to load the pictures

Factory reset is a great way of getting the "new phone" feel. Frees up a ton of internal storage. Its best to take a backup, e.g. with Titanium backup, before doing reset.

Im on jpf rooted and overclocked and using g3mod extreme. ill try that other gallery and see if it works then il report back cos i think it could be buggy firmware

Found a big glitch whit xrecovery.

I was on.free x10 i cooked my own theme didnt like it and.i went and installed some apps and.stuffs but when i restored freex10 again to take off my theme and let it be replaced whit the stock froyo one well all my apps was kept + the live wallpaper i had set before restoring again any clue ?

I am guessing you had the same apps when you backed up before you added the theme..... If so, when you restored FreeX10 vanilla, you did a full restore and restored your settings and apps.
If you want a clean install of Freex10, reinstall custom zip via xRecovery or don't restore apps and data.
I just restored like i always used to and it never happened to me i didnt do an advanced restore :/

You should have done an advanced restore, so you don't restore apps and data.

flashing without loosing apps

Sorry, I am new and maybe this is a silly question. Can I flash a new rom without loosing my apps and their settings and my games and their saves ? Like backing-up all these.

If you are rooted use titanium backup from market, but the fact you asked this indicated you need to study more before you start flashing roms
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
hahaha. Thank you very much for your quick answer ! Maybe you are right. The fact is that I already flashed my phone 2-3 times but never interested in backing-up. On the other hand now, I have spent a lot of time with it and I do not want to loose my apps. Is there something specific I should do with titanium back-up ? or I just back-up with this app and then, after I flash, I restore ? ( sorry haven' t used it before )

Yeah you just backup before flashing, restore after. Bear in mind I don't think it is compatible between cm7/miui and samsung - based roms.

Well restoring app data can cause problems, but that is depending on what rom you are flashing to and from, and like any app you need to learn to use it I recommend paid version as it allows you to batch restore and backup

You may have problems with app data but I'm really not sure, you will know if you do because you will get a lot of fc of apps

thank you slaphead20 and jaju123 very much ! I will try to save anything I can with titanium. flashing is much more important for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Some games store their save files on the SD card (data or similar). So if you flash a new ROM, all you need to do is reinstall the game and you can start where you left.
Thank you !
ive never had any problems backing up and restoriing ONLY user downloaded apps between cm7, stock and miui using titanium. the only thing which would cause you problems would be restoring system apps..
if you wish to backup messages also and use them with other firmwares u could also use GoSMS, which has a backup function

I need a gallery app

I need a bit of help. I was having little niggles with jpd like the keyboard wouldnt go off screen when a new page was loading and when i finishing a call the screen wouldnt relight when i was moving from the proximity sensor so i flashed jpf instead. Iv re rooted. G3modded and overclocked and its running fine apart from my gallery isnt working. it just says loading images and the screen goes black and stays like that till i click back. Can anyone send me a link to a gallery apk so o can delete this one and redownload it. Thanks in advance

Finally Managed to delete the gallery app but my phone will not instal the new gallery app.
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
you can't instal it! you have to copy the apk to system/app
Oh i thought i just went into file manager and installed it. How do i copy it into system apps
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Come on man
with root explorer. just press and hold the file, choose copy, navigate by back key, go to system/apps, mount as r/w, paste it there. I hope ur problem is solved by now.
Ok iv got the gallery app installed and showing in the app draw. But the original problem is ocurring. Click on gallery = black screen. Mite have to reflash with a different rom. I cant understant the problem as the rom is from samfirmware

Iv still got no gallery 3d. Im relying on a market pic viewer to look at my photos. Any ideas?
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App

Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App

I have one problem with gallery 3d... i have kyrillos 6.2 ROM and when i run gallery i see some artifacts in background.... should i install gallery.apk from stock ROM or what?

Oh jeez what did i delete

I recently went back to stock froyo and installed visionary+ to get root and delete some bloat. Well,look at the pic. Whenever I try to use the phone,or view contacts,it stays in the background while the icon stays up front. What could I have possibly deleted?

That happened to me when i was on stock, usually rebooting would fix it...
Reflash, install custom recovery, make a nand backup, then go to town deleting/freezing. Always backup first.

Did you dropped your phone? If not then flash a new stock rom and then check if the problem persists.
