Anyone know of a good replacement app for Google Photos ? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really just want an app that shows the "device folder" section from google photos. I'm just not a big fan of Photos layout and how many other menus i have to go to to get to where my device photos are. Anyone know of a good replacement?

No replacement for the best.

Quickpic. Been using it for years and haven't looked backed. It's perfect

Quickpic or piktures. I personally use piktures

Quickpic used to be fantastic but I got rid of it as soon as it was sold to Cheetah Mobile. Piktures is pretty good but at the moment I'm using a port of the Moto X Pure/Style gallery.

I can't remember where I found it unfortunately. There's a thread here at XDA somewhere.

I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/themes-apps/app-camera-galery-t3216944
But the gallery download link doesn't work ( says the file has been trashed)
Can you upload the apk somewhere ?
Thanks

Oh ok, I have the apk but the zip includes libs and whatnot too and I don't actually have the zip anymore. Maybe ask in the thread if someone has a copy of the zip they can upload.

That's terrible. Quickpic still is fantastic. People need to get over this cheetah crap. The app is still blazing fast and does everything it always did.

You have an opinion and I have an opinion. I don't use Cheetah apps for a reason, so no, I won't get over it as you suggest. You're free to your own opinion but don't for a second think that it's anything other than that, or that everyone else must adopt it too, or that it's ok to berate someone for having a differing opinion.

Whoa! Cool your jets there bud. I didn't say anyone had to adopt to my opinion, don't jump the gun. You state the app "use" to be good. Your wrong. The app hasn't changed....it still works the same as it always did. You just dislike who bought it. And yes I'm free to my opinion and so are you. And I had an opinion about your comment...and you had one back for me. Let's leave it there.

The app has changed, and for the worse in my opinion. It's missing some previous features and the UI has changed a little. Some features (extra themes) have been added though. And yes, I do dislike Cheetah. But yes, let's leave it there.

Finally found the perfect 2. 1 rom

This Rom is just about perfect. It's just Villain 5. 2 cdma port without HTC stuff, it is really fast and launcher2 is the least buggy one I have ever used. I highly recommend this ROM

Anyone try this on their non root droid yet? I will in a bit
Doesn't work, since he probably didn't do any type of editing to MAKE it work with the Droid 1..just tried it. I get nothing but force closes. Every 2 seconds. In fact, it force closes so much, I can't USE any other aspect of my phone, as it stays right in my face. So now I have to restore from a backup.
Good job.
damn, sounds like my htc ime keyboard when i got froyo, i was finnaly able to get into settings and kill it tho

Spb tablet UI....

This app ...so called spb shell 3d version 5.0 ....is freakin awsum...see the demo video by searching on google this threads title.....I don't have it...does anyone know its release date??

Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
Looks great. But running that in background of a actual useful app.say a game even browsing the net is the question. Looks CPU graphic intense.
It does look pretty cool, but I agree with Erica. I'd be afraid that it would be too much of a resource hog and bog down my tablet. Be nice to show off to the friends so they can witness the awesomeness of my Acer, but I probably wouldn't want it for everyday use.
I don't think it would consume enough resources and lag the device.....as far as spb goes...even at the release of the current version of spb..(which iss now available in the market)..it was thought to slow down any device...but it didn't....

I don't know... something about it is, kinda.. off... I can't put my finger on it. I mean it certainly has the eye-candy... but is it forsaking eye-candy for functionality? *shrug*
We have to look past the silky smooth actions here - everything looks great when you hand keyframe the animations just nice and perfect. It's still in concept so I have to reserve judgment until there is something more along the lines of an alpha/beta. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
I hope it they release the app soon.....they launched the concept video in early march.....the launcher was for honeycomb....they better launch before android 4.0.....

I have this for the Evo, look for it market: SPB Launcher 3D. It is great. Add more screens, and the integration with all the Widgets make it a smooth transition from any other launcher.
As for CPU usage. I found that it ran better then my HTC: S with animated wallpaper.
I am really waiting on this to be released for the tablet. As my a500 could really use more screens and the customization features of this launcher.
i am using the SPB shell on my galaxy s i9000 slighlty overclocked 1.1Ghz. it works very well, does not slow down anything.
it is really great to use.
Spb launcher for tabs is out......

Ya. Clearly.
I bought it for my Charge, didn't work well. Market wouldn't show it for the A500, so I downloaded a bootleg apk just to see if it worked. Basically said this is an incompatible device and closes. I still want to see what it can do on the tab, since it's far more powerful than my phone.

I guess neither of you read the part of the post explaining what it is you're installing on your tablet.
The app has no proper UI yet, only a skeleton "UI Skeleton" that does nothing aside from telling which Panel installed on your tablet is detected.

[Q] Imessage?

Sorry if this is the wrong section for this.
I know in the past you could get imessage on Android, but there were a lot of security concerns with it and now even that app is removed from the google play store. Is there any secure way to get the app? If not what app is the closest to it? Right now I'm using textra, and I really like it, but I have noticed some bugs with it. Most people I text use iPhones so that's why I would love to get imessage. I'm rooted if that helps with anything.

Doubtful it's safe. Considering the only other methods I've seen involved using a Mac or iPhone as a proxy to connect it, it has to run through one somewhere, and there's no guarantee it's encrypted.
