Hey guys, just curious which 3rd party gallery app you are using?
I have tried Piktures and QuickPic and for some reason the photos appear more blurred and unfocused than the stock gallery. The Stock gallery has crisp and clear photos, and the other apps seem to look weird. Anyone else see this? Anyone care to test it?
Suggestions on a 3rd party app that doesn't do this kind of thing?
I use Google Picture for bedder zoom.
I try all other the most Gallery Apps have problems by fast zoom. Most times slow to show the Picture in nice quality.

Simple Gallery is nice.
Only a problem with moving pictures (I think next update fixed).

Hi all. I have an HD2 with the stock Android Gallery app. I don't like it. IMHO the photo viewing app on the Windows Mobile HD2(HTC ALBUM) is MUCH better. So much cleaner and QUICKER. Does anyone know of an app for Android that is similar to the HTC Album viewer? Where when I open it all it shows is a list of thumbnails of my recent camera pics?
Thanks.
I dont remember what the HTC Gallery looked like, anyhow, I hate the 3D Gallery because it's so slow while loading pics and sometimes for me it wont even load at all, im using the 2D Gallery and it works great for me, pics load up instantly, no waiting.
I got it from here:

thanks for the link.. me neither liked the gallery.. superslow
Cool thanks. Not exactly what I wanted but better than the 3D gallery IMHO.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask or maybe move it to the apps section if need be. Ever since I got the updated Gallery app through August update all my pictures seem to be imported automatically to it, what exactly do I mean by this? Whenever I launch the Camera app and scroll through my pictures through the app it shows all recent pictures on my phone, before the update it would only show pictures/videos taken through the camera app, I would like to keep it that way but haven't managed to revert it, any clues?
Wish I could answer, just installed the update and it's a disaster, what were they thinking, tiny thumbnails and you can't read the album names! Dark grey font on a black background... DOH

If you pinch out on the album view it will give you near enough the same view as before, only problem I have, as already stated, is the black text on dark grey background, although that's probably the themes fault.

So no one else lost the feature of scrolling through the in-app camera gallery and just having content taken with the camera? cause I really hate having to go through all my stuff there to find a picture I took.

No mine still works fine, although if I'm using the camera from the lock screen it will only let me scroll through the pictures I've just taken, not previous ones.

I wonder how I messed it all up lol. I just tried that way, running the app from the lockscreen and I still get every single picture on my phone.
Any Luck?
I am facing exactly the same issue.
All my screenshots, whatsapp, gallery pics and everything are populated in the gallery when I access through camera. This is highly annoying.
Earlier it was only camera pictures which were shown, is there anyway to fix this? Like installing the previous version or changing the access folder only to camera?

I found no solution, had to just deal with it. And I tried to somehow set the app to only access the Camera pictures when browsing through the camera app but no such luck.
Is this issue without any resolution yet? I know this have been posted a few months ago, I've searched everywhere but I didn't find any solution, did anyone else get some more luck than me?
all my photos, from Whatsapp, Telegram, downloaded from Chrome, Screenshots, GIF... etc etc..
all were inside the camera roll in the Camera.apk... this is super annoying.. any help?
You can put a .nomedia file in the folders you don't want to see in the gallery, as this article shows:

Thank you for the link, but it is not working!
In the camera app, the bottom right button will show the last image or video saved to the gallery. On the S6 Edge (and I think on Marshmallow), that button in the camera app used to show the pics taken by camera only. Is there a way now to do the same?
Thanks

I have the same problem, and I haven't found a solution yet
Use Google photos instead of "gallery".
But "gallery" will still be default app in the camera app.
The problem is with the camera app, not the gallery by itself. I think the camera app is linked to the wrong folder.
Well, today I talked with Samsung support and they told me to restore to factory settings, which I won't do because it came like this (I bought it 5 days ago).
This is too annoying, and I think we will have to live with it, because Samsung doesn't know how to fix it and doesn't seems to care about it neither.
In Gallery, choose Albums instead of Pictures. From there if you select Camera, then only your camera pics will display.

The problem isn't the gallery, is the camera app. When you check a photo that you just take (with the icon in the bottom right corner of the camera) and then you start looking the previous pictures, it'll be mixed with whatsapp, downloads and any other image you have in your phone, which doesn't make any sense.
The gallery by itself is ok.

No. it's the gallery app.
I'll explain. The camera app simply takes you to the Gallery app in an in-app shortcut.
You can get the same "bug" if you open the Gallery from your app drawer and go to "pictures " tab which will feature all the pictures on your device, including whatsapp or downloaded media.
So the Camera app simply takes you to the Gallery but to the wrong tab.
I disabled the Gallery app entirety and so the shortcut does not work for me - hitting it does nothing. If I want to see pictures taken with the camera while ignkring other media files i simply use Google Photos.
Why Google Photos specifically? It has the ability to create a link to Google Photos inside of Camera app.

Well, that's why I think it's a camera problem, it has the wrong shortcut.
But anyways, how did you disable the gallery? When I try the button is greyed and I can't do it. I'm using Google photos as a default viewer, but doesn't work within the camera. Do you have to root the phone?
Edited: I just found how to do it in the Google photo settings.

Nah no root required.
Use BK package disabler. You can disable any app including system apps with it. It uses Knox to have root like capabilities.
Thanks, I'll try with bk package disabler.
Any Update on this issue?
Did Samsung solve this issue yet? it is super annoying to see all photos from the camera roll viewer in camera app. Why should I see screenshots I've taken or a stupid Whatsapp pic sent by someone, when I'm viewing photos taken by camera, from the camera app?
Hi all.. so i guess i made a mistake taking my s8 into the pool.. i guess its not entirely waterproof. took some pics underground. now everything works fine except the GALLERY. when i scroll down the images it stutters.. anyone else facing such issue? except this, scrolling through other apps such as FB and logs works fine..
my s8 does the same thing. Scrolling slowly within the gallery causes it to bounce up and down very quickly.

Just Uninstaller the Bixby remapper. Problem gone
My gallery freezes when i press back on a picture, should probably look for an alternative.

thank you sooo much
I picked up the OP6 Google Camera port from here: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/
Works occasionally, but a lot of the time the app crashes right after taking a pic. Anyone experiencing this?

I don't see crashes that much. But a lot of time on button click the shutter flicker but no photo is taken. There are many other stability issues like taking photo in moving vehicle doesn't seems to work. In my case HDR+ enhance works but normal HDR+ doesn't seems to capture any photo.

Hmm, weird. I can pretty consistently get a crash (especially when using front facing camera). Do you have location permission enabled? And any specific settings changed?
Not sure if the link you provided is the best/most up to date. Try this one.

Looks like this version is older than the one on the page I posted. This one is version 6.1.009.x, whereas the other is 6.1.013.x. I tried the older version anyway, and still get the same crashes, unfortunately. I do have the T-Mobile variant of this phone. Worried that that's somehow causing the issue.
Same here except I have the unlocked variant
I experience the same crashes after trying to take a picture with all the versions of the port. I haven't really seen others who experience the same crashes. Still trying to figure out a diagnosis.
---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------
Now although I have the unlocked version, I am a T-Mobile customer. This seems to be causing the crashes. When I turn off my mobile data the app doesn't seem to crash anymore.
