[Fatasaurus]

Any pics of the new gallery?

im working on getting a screen capture app but it basically looks like a yellow version of windows gallery or the zune desktop with very fluid transitions

Any pics of the new gallery?

I started a thread about the gallery app in the app forum that has screenshots, but it got locked as a duplicate..
here:
New 2.1 Gallery App - Android Central Forums

Just installed this and it's very cool, unfortunately my pictures are all very pixelated. No other galleries installed....any ideas or anybody else see this?

Installed, looks good to me. But I never had a problem with the old one.

 

[Fatasaurus]

do both galleries show u for anyone else besides me?

video playback is real choppy. Even when I used the old gallery to play it. had to uninstall. Video back normal. Anyone else getting this?

You have the full 2.1? Rooted?
I dont video is fine for me

Both show up for everyone. The one that is part of the Os and the one you install as an app.

The old one does work fine. This one is just nicer.

Does anyone know why they are fighting against multi touch so much?

 

[herki]

I think it has to do with patents and the gestures used with the multitouch. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Apple has patents on a lot of the multitouch interfaces (like pinch-to-zoom), and Google wants to make absolutely sure that they're clear in being able to use them, to avoid any potential lawsuits.

After all, Android is a serious threat to the iPhone, and Apple will do anything in their power to hinder the potential.

Nope, not rooted. I tried installing again too, but to no avail. I may delete apps individually to see if it is some app conflict causing it.

Awesome! Works GREAT! Thanks for the link to the apk.

This gallery is seriously sexy as hell. I think I'm gonna find myself taking a bunch of random pics just so I can sift through them.

 

[chrislitzkow]

Wow, this is great. THANKS! Anyone know of any other leaked upgrades?

 

[slowhatch]

Man this new gallery is sooo badass, I love how quickly the software and the os evolve on android.. almost everyday I get app updates(that actually improve performance), os updates, new badass apps, etc. its awesome because the phone never gets stale. Can't wait for official 2.1

 

[kinglord]

im late to jump on the bandwagon!

DAMN! this gallery blows all the others away, well done!

I was surprised to see that the 2.0 gallery required tapping on the screen to move from picture to picture... to me, the 2.1 is the way it should have been from the get go. Either way, the OS and the phone rocks.

 

[Cory Streater]

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

Nice write-up. Anyone that wants to do this direct on their Droid (without hooking to a desktop), can also install Root Explorer from the Market and do the following:

1.) Open Root Explorer
2.) Navigate to /system
3.) Click the Mount R/W button
4.) Navigate to /system/app
5.) Rename Gallery.apk to Gallery.bak
