LEAKED: 2.1 Gallery

[kerimh40]

I don't know if this has been posted before but here is the leak of the 2.1 gallery... Huge difference!!!

Instructions:

1. Download the apk file from Gallery.apk.zip

2. unzip the file on your computer

3. copy the apk file from that to your memory card

4. open Astro and locate the new apk file, click it and open in app manager, click install upper left corner

ENJOY! Takes about 10-15 seconds...


You can also do it all directly from your phone, which is probably easier.

You can't unless you have a rooted phone...

 

[droidman]

i do have a rooted phone but i'm still kinda new to the whole thing

 

[droidman]

i will say thought this gallery is pretty bad a**

If you have Astro just download through your phones browser. Open up Astro, go to downloads folder, find the file, rename it (change the last 3 letters from . xxx to .apk. Now open the file and install. No need to delete the original as it will change later when we get 2.1. You can then delete this new gallery like any downloaded app.

do the whole thing from your phone...as long as you download astro from the market...so much easier.

here you go... this will delete your old one if you have a rooted phone.


To remove the old gallery, (busybox required):
Code:
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
# /path/to/busybox mv /system/app/Gallery.apk /system/app/Gallery.bak
# sync
# exit
$ exit
