I personally have always liked Quickpic vs pure android gallery and Xperia gallery when i had my Arc S. but since i've had the 4.1.2 Gallery on my S3, ive loved the different view options, the speed has been great. I cant see myself having a need to use Quickpic again.
Anyone sitll using Quickpic? if so, why?
Because it will not let me hide albums like quickpic. Change to view only on device but does not save that setting

And Quickpic works extremely fast with quality previews, unlike the blurry images on the the stock SGS3 gallery!

Agreed with the option not saving but i definitely dislike my facebook / picasa pics in my gallery, so i remove them from syncing.
I like the logical sorting option.

Fast even with high quality images
Loads much quicker
The thing that really put me off the stock gallery though was how long it took to generate an image after I took a photo. I'd snap an image, click on the preview button and would normally be greeted by a loading screen that would take roughly 2 seconds. If I use another camera app then hit the preview button and set it to open with QuickPic, the image is there IMMEDIATELY. It's not the fact that 2 seconds is a long time to wait, its the fact that other apps can do it quicker. I'm on CM10.1 and have no need for QuickPic. Gallery is smooth and images are accessible immediately, no loading times or black screens

This is a preinstalled application on the phone, when you go to select wallpapers you have an option to choose from your photos or this preinstalled wallpaper gallery. I would prefer to be able to add wallpapers to this instead of my general photos so they don't get mixed up. Is there a way to do this or is it even possible to add more? I have used astro to locate the location of the wallpapers but it does not allow me to paste any files in it.
*Edit* This would also make it so people don't have to resize and crop the photos, making the multi pane photos the size they are supposed to be.
Connect your streak to pc, go to my computer > removable disc > and you will be presented with some folders 'data', 'download' etc; create another called 'pictures' and within that create another one called 'wallpapers' put your new wallpapers in their.
I just tried that and the wallpaper still does not show up in the wallpaper gallery. The images are still showing up in the photo app which is the thing I'm trying to prevent. I appreciate any help or suggestions though, so thankyou for your response

Can't do it the way you want to wallpaper gallery is on the phones rom It's self. However if you make a nandroid back up and pull it off your sd card you may be able to put your wallpapers in the wallpaper gallery.

Just a heads up to everyone... if you haven't tried the app Quick Pic on your NC, you owe it to yourself to do so. It is by far the fastest and most responsive gallery app I've ever used on Android. Period.
It also makes a fantastic comic viewer if you've unzipped all of the comic images into their own folders.
For your convenience, I've attached the apk.

That one?
Awesome, thank you for sharing!
It's called QuickPic (Picture Folder) in the Market.
thanks! have to give it a try ... stupid question, is there an easy way to uninstall any of the apps and it will do a clean uninstall.
first time playing with android and installing apps left and right but I'm not sure if that's the best thing to do
Okay, that is a fantastic application. Finally, a way to manage mass amounts of photo data.
_Thank_you_
Wow, this app is awesome. Its like gallery app on steroids. It is beyond snappy or responsive. Thanks OP.

i cannot find recent screenshots in my pic gallery using this app. I can only see then when using the original gallery app. Any Help?
after the recent update, quickpic now zooms on double-tap instead of single-tap. I don't like double-tapping/pinch2zoom all the time, do you know how to change it back to single-taps ?
I tried to find the homepage/forum of the developer to ask him that, but failed... -only found some chinese page
there is no settings/preferences button for this app, right?
QuickPic works good for local pictures, but does nothing with remote pictures. JustPictures works great for remote pictures (Flickr, Picasa), but always does a scan that takes quite a while for local pictures.
I use both, depends on what I'm doing.
I wish QuickPic had an option to not disable the status bar.
this app vs google's stock 2.1 gallery any comments?

I'm not sure exactly what the stock google 2.1 gallery is, but if it's the 3Dgallery, or the original Nook Color gallery, then the Quickpic app isn't quite as fancy, but it also hasn't choked on large quantities of very large photo files, which both of the prior mentioned apps couldn't handle. I also had problems with JustPictures choking on multiple folders with over 100 (5+mb) photos in each.
I would list Quickpic as more utilitarian. It does the job, and does it fairly well.
What about Floating Image?
It doesn't help when you want to find a particular image, but browsing a gallery is heavenly in that app.
Great suggestion
Thanks for suggesting this... I really like the Froyo 3D Gallery, but its not as smooth and some things are just annoying, especially when loading new pictures.
QuickPic is damn good for my needs.
i wish there was a good flickr app, with the same layout as quickpic. quickpic is awesome.

If the 3D pics are displayed in 3D, then the gallery is pointless. Isn't it kind of ironic that that gallery is called the "3D" Gallery?
is there a way we can make sub folders in the stock gallery.
You can in Quick Pic but again it wont show the 3D ones

I used to use the 3D gallery but I have a lot of picture folders and it would arrange them in some entropic order sometimes and got too annoying so I switched to Quickpic. I was going to install Quickpic on my 3vo but the new HTC gallery is a huge improvement. The most important feature, it starts with the most recent pictures. That was so annoying with the old gallery app. You'd spend 30 seconds scrolling to your recent pictures.
Bahahhaha youre kidding me right? That has to be worst gallery ever made, its what cm7 uses.
3D gallery runs crappy even on this phone. I still have folders loading pics long after I opened the app. Uninstalled.
Im pretty content with the HTC gallery included with the 3VO.
Thanks for the link.
What bothers me the most about HTC gallery is that when you click on a photo or a video in the gallery, there is no option to delete.
This is regression from Google's stock gallery because when I have 5 very similar pictures, I need to be able to compare them by swiping through them and then deleting those that i dont like. Having to go back to the thumbnail view is terrible because I cant tell which one I decided to delete.
I started a thread on this in the HTC forum - please add your feedback there if you agree: community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/138/p/12583/53177.aspx#53177 (cant post proper links yet)
Never mind
You have to tap the image instead of hitting the menu button.

Hey!!! now I know your ID on both forums!!!! lol
To the opp....sorry the new gallery that comes with the 3D is good enough....fast....and I just don't see a need to load another app that does the same **** I can do with the one that comes stock.
It is nice and fast indeed, but it doesnt show 3d content properly
I dont really have a performance problem with HTC Gallery.
Can anyone recommend a good gallery app, paid or free. I installed gingerbread and although I like the new gallery it's just so slow. It never loads all the thumbnails so I can't tell what each picture is without pressing it.
I appreciate any suggestions.

will have to check it out; i HATE that the new gallery is all timecode based; i have all my pics (i am a published pro photographer and cameraman) organized meticulously and the new gallery wont let me just see everything in the old froyo file system. plus it is (WAY) slower and will not properly load thumbnails so 95% of my shots (which i keep in full res on the external SD card) show up without a thumbnail or title.
totally unacceptable to me. also i dont do social networking (AT ALL, i call/tango/skype if needed and talk or text but i prefer REAL human interaction) so tagging etc is useless for me.
+982343 for QuickPic
Super fast, and also renders images you use for WALLPAPER without any quality loss; if you set a wallpaper using the stock gallery vs quickpic you will see a stark difference.

yep, i noticed this straight away, with the wallpapers, and luckily quickpic does them perfectly, best gallery ive used.
Is the crap quality wallpaper thing a problem with the atrix gallery app or is it the same on other phones?
You guys are all correct, Quickpic is great. I need to start recommending it to people. Thanks again.

Another vote for Quickpic here... Flashed 2.3.4 a few days ago and I have been more than disappointed with the new stock gallery app. Quickpic is definitely the answer. It organizes everything for you.

Quickpic has my vote! So much easier to use!
Agreed quick pic is great but I also use b and b http://gallery.breadandbuttertool.com/ which has better folder options in certain circumstances imo. Those 2 though are all I need really!
quickpic!!
Quickpic is about the best.
But one feature that they ALL lack is an ability (option) not to recursively show subfolders.
ie, I have a folder called pets, and inside two more called cat, and dog. From the main gallery I only want to see pets and any images in pets. If I want to dig into cat or dog, I want to see those as subfolders. Just like folders in Windows.
If you like the idea of this, send an email to the author of quickpic. I requested this and he likes the idea. He said maybe if more people request it.
Okay, my personal mission aside.
Has anyone frozen (TiBu) the stock gallery app? I don't like it, and I'm tired of it littering my /sd with cache folders all over the place.
Yet another vote for quickpic.
Hey guys. I did a factory restore on my phone for reasons unrelated to the gallery, but when it was done, the factory gallery now works flawlessly. It loads up almost instantly and the thumbnails are perfect. I still think I like quickpic better, but I thought I would let you guys know what happened.

I have tried a few gallery apps because i totally hate the stock gallery app as well. I love how smooth QuickPic is. They recently released a latest version of this app, making pinch to zoom look like eye candy.
Have a look at this youtube link and see for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQdOwRCh__g
*Note: This is the old version of QuickPic though....the latest version is WAY smoother.
Is it a DPI thing? If so, how do I fix it? With GB stock TWiz pics used as wallpaper are cropped to fit dimensions and show up full size as wallpaper, as though you're seeing it in gallery. Using LauncherPro (before on GB too) or even TWiz now, in ICS, if I choose a photo from gallery to use as wallpaper, it allows me to crop with the usual orange line but then shows it so big/zoomed in, that only the center 1/3rd is the homescreen.
Wazzah?
Try to use quick pic to do it and it should work. It did for me!
