as personal preference im not a fan of "date view" I organize via folders so my OCD kicks in, I create albums(collections) and by default its oldest to newest (which can be fixed via picasa pc web interface after some cursing and google) I just am not fan of the overall interface. Ideally; for example, id have a folder on my device and google photos would keep that folder so if i have a reddit saved images folder lets call it "reddit" it would backup my images to that folder and keep the folder structure on the google photos side.
Theres nothing wrong with the photo's app per-say i just prefer the "gallery" method of sorting and organizing

QuickPic, probably THE BEST 3rd party gallery app

yup, I've been using QuickPic for a while
Google Photos is terrible apart from being able to back up my photos for free

That's what I use. Just install the apk from within the zip.

Absolutely!! Quick pic is THE best Android gallery app BY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR. Seriouisly it's hands down the best. I can't even begin to list the reasons why cuz I don't feel like making a wall of text to crit you for over 9000!

QuickPic

In my opinion Sony album is better than quick pics. You can find the apk on xda

I've been using kk gallery app since it's basically just the aosp one.

Another vote for QuickPic here. Best replacement I found when Google Photos took over as the primary app for Nexus devices.

photosphere viewer

I thought I posted this topic yesterday but can't see it under my threads
Anyways so the problem is I am not able to view photospheres. I use quickpic clicking on compass in the center of photosphere doesn't do anything. I tried google camera inbuilt gallery as well same thing happens there clicking on photosphere icon doesn't do anything. Am I missing something?
I'm on Benzo ROM without gapps.
[Edit] I think I found a cause:
03-26 07:17:13.313 D/CAM_PhotoSphereHelper(13114): PanoramaClient not available.
However I don't know which app provides a panorama client I thought it was camera app.
Thanks

It Google Photos

Maybe it not compatible with the ROM you are using?

I can not find the gallery app anywhere.
Is it hidden somewhere ?

Its "Photos"

They want you to use the Google Photos app...I asked the same question right after launch and got this response here...this apk has worked great for me...
The camera still uses "photos" when you swipe right to see your pics...but at least you will have Moto's gallery as well

That's a great question. Is the gallery app named above any good. I'm coming from a Samsung gs6 and this is my first Moto. Don't like the Google photos thing.

Where is the Stock photo Gallery

Just received my Sprint LG V20 today. loving it so far but I don't see a photo gallery, just google photos. Am I missing something ?

Seems like depending on the carrier, some lg apps are missing. Sprint seems to have the most. At&t's model is missing at the least the music app and I'll not sure what else

I saw that right away, just downloaded a gallery app, no issue, it is a little annoying when apps get left out though

what gallery app did you download?

Have you tried opening the camera, taking a picture and then clicking on the picture while in the camera to see what app it opens?

I believe that opens a google photo gallery, which I am not a fan of sharing photos with.
If you try texting a photo, it sends a link to the photo as an album uploaded somewhere

Ah ok.
I do want to find a new Gallery app though. This one has minimal editing abilities. On my Note 7 I was able to edit more extensively and I could edit videos within the app too.

I side loaded an lg gallery app. The ones in the play store didn't do it for it me.

Here you guys go. =)

Yeah your totally right man. Please, if you find a gallery app that happens to have those editing ability, please post back. I'd appreciate it. I'll do the same as well.

Same message with my Sprint V20

There has to be a way around this. I'd love to know what the reason was behind this decision ?

Tried sideloading through adb with a no go, and installing like a normal app is no go for me as well. Thank you for your efforts though.
On adb I get install failed invalid apk package couldn't be installed related missing code.
Maybe once the t-mobile guys break in they could give us the apk.

battery Life on H872

For a while i was getting bad battery life due to using a LG app called LG Aura. Now that it's gone I've been seeing great battery life on my TMO G6 (H872).
I'm using it as general use. Not gaming.
Was playing with google cardboard.
Streaming YouTube & Netflix.
I'm impressed overall.

I usually get about 3 hours screen on time, 4 if I'm lucky. I use the doze app too and doesn't do much. Little bit of chrome, Snapchat, some light games.

I'd be happy to.
What seems to be the issue? I'm assuming you have both apps installed?
Then you'll want to force close both. Then, you want to go to Settings - Fingerprints & Security - Phone Administrators and then check make sure LG Service is active.
Then force close everything (recents clear all) and run Package disabler.. It should work now. Simply check the box to the right of the app you'd like to disable. If you press the app name it will also show you more info about the app and give you the ability to uninstall it there.
I understand the Package Disabler app has been removed from the Play Store but you seem to have it.
I'll also upload a copy of both in the next post in case someone else would like to try them as well..

Nope. Someone in the thread i linked above had mentioned that error. They seemed to remedy this issue with a restart.

Okay @Polycarbonate I tried on my other v30. Yes I had the pop-up if i tried running the service app. But if you simply activate it in settings - fingerprints and security - phone administrators it works fine.

Lol yeah, it just came back to me after enabling it on phone administrador, it just won't work, I forgot this is the same thread, this app just won't work for my T-mo LG G6, I'll call it quits then since it just keeps coming back.

Yeah i guess it doesn't work.. works on my V30 & G6 that installed from the Play Store....

Well, it seems the app is back in the PlayStore... However I already paid and this isn't showing that I paid.
But only $1.49 for it. I'd say do it and make sure you keep a backup with LG Backup..
