I'm after the original gallary app from the Nexus device for the Note 2, because Samsung's version is horrible, it's ultra choppy, it's worse than a HTC Hero, especially because I'm using Picasa, next to it I have my Nexus 4 side by side, everything is instant, scrolling, loading thumbnails and loading the images, just as fast as offline in the nexus version of the gallery app.
Even offline photos in the sammy version are choppy, you don't even want to bother trying to pinch to zoom, and of course this is all assuming you can even get the app to work, it usually freezes half way through a swipe, showing half of 2 images and only fix is a restart of the phone.
Samsung really screwed up some things on their OS, it's generally pretty slow all over, people said how fast this phone is, My S2 performs just the same, and vastly faster in the gallery and of course it's software which is to blame as I did put CM10.1 on my Note 2, which made is just as fast as the nexus, maybe even a bit faster, but then you lose the S Pen, camera app, multiview, etc...
I can live with the Lagwhiz, but I'd like a nice gallary app, I tried some 3rd party ones, which load just as fast as the original android one on the Nexus, but they don't load Picasa files and doesn't look as nice as the original gallery app from Nexus 4.
I found this, which is very fast and looks like JB Gallery, but no online photos from Picasa

Oh yea in addition to be slow or freeze, much of the time it won't even show anything, you open gallery and it's just all black other than the top bar... Samsung really screwed it up.
If u can find the 4.2 cam zip and flash it the gallery comes with it

Let me start by saying, i'm running stock untouched, unrooted, i turned it on and installed apps from the market, version of Gt10.1. It is the 32Gb version and came with 3.1 on it.
I've had my Gt10.1 for almost a week now and I must say that I'm stunned at the frequency of FC errors from various apps. I mean even my "Samsung Account" force closes after each restart.
Anyone else noticed that the screen isn't calibrated correctly. Seems I have to touch to the right of what I intend to select. This is particularly noticeable when selecting text in the browser or in text editors such as this app.
Should I reset to factory?
A lot of apps that work just find on my Epic4G are unstable or not available ... like where is facebook???? And how come nearly every game is either buggy or not available... EA games are just unsupported?
Is there a place anywhere that filters the marketplace by supported os version ? I.e. what is proven to work on HC 3.1

Facebook has been pulled from the tablet market for a while.
The samsung force close is on every tablet I think after reboot
I'd try resetting and see if that helps with the force closes and the screen inaccuracy. Maybe try not loading every app you had before. If that doesn't work, take it back to where you bought it and see if you can get an exchange.
Yeah its disgracefull that samsung have released the tab with so many bugs. Im writing this now on my tab and the text cant even keep up with my typing...the whole gt 10.1 is an unpleasant experience, the amount of force closes is staggering and unaceptable. theres no filterin the market to show only tab apps, it gives off a high pitch noise after every selection from the speakers, theres no predictive text input, the video play back its utter crap,why dont the home buttons auto hide to give more screen space, reading books is awfull due to each page being out of focus for a split second before being displayed properly. Theres people with dust under the screen, oh and the batteru life is in my opinion well below stated. and last but definately not least yeah it does flash in websites but not 100% some sites work and some are awfull,,,,

I feel for u. I've resolved the laggy keyboard by sticking with either the Android keyboard or Thumb keyboard. Both perform excellently. My experience has been that hidden home buttons seem to be a per app behavior. Example. Kindle app does it beautifully. I also have not experienced the out of focus issue. The video / screen rendering is unparalleled. Ive only experienced poor battery stats when I'm streaming from a weak wifi connection.. like being tethered to my phone running 3g 3bars or less.

-There is a problem with the way the stock browser handles text selection in web fields, it's probably related to some of the JavaScript problems the browser has. Until it gets patched a workaround is to use the Opera web browser.
-There are a few lists that people have compiled of HC optimized apps and games: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032381
@richie_jones:
-Turn off audible selection under settings>sound
-The default Samsung keyboard has XT9 predictive text, but you have to go into settings to enable it first. There are also numerous alternative keyboards to use if you don't like that keyboard.
-Video playback is very good on the tab. But like every tablet on the market you should convert your video to mp4 first for optimum results, or use an alternate video player such as MoboPlayer, Rock Player, Vplayer etc. If you don't know how to covert video files then check this thread for some simple instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825

Yeah I believe the samsung force close is caused by an authentication issue on the samsung account. I looked in log with aLogCat after a force close (they always come at boot and always twice) and there was an exception logged from the samsung account app.
This happens when connected to a wifi network and also when not connected. Whatever causes it to bw unable to authenticate, the Samsung Account app certainly doesnt handle that condition well.
And finally, you think Samsung would have caught this one....
I took my Tab 10.1 back and got a Tab 7" instead. Honeycomb has a long way to go really, and all the issues the OP had I can attest to. Hardware was nice, slim and tight but given the software issues I couldn't justify the $500 tag when a 7" tab was going for $200 brand new. Very happy with my decision.

I reset to default and everything works perfectly now... the text SLOWNESS is limited to the default browser app.. I use either Opera or Dolphin now.
My only gripe now is with Samsungs advertisement or shall I say FALSE advertisement... this is not the tab they advertise. It does not have touchwiz, mini apps or Media Hub support

So you have no lag on the home screens when scrolling from one to the other, you have no typing lag on google browser. I don't think so....
Smooth it definitely is not"..."
no lag with he screens. Keyboard lag yes. Otherwise its running nice. It is a leaked tw rom that has been modified. I expect a custom rom based on the official release in a couple days.
The stock gallery app is.... garbage IMO. Its constantly reordering my images to some arbitary order instead of by name (very annoying because i have pages of documents scanned and named by page number), just overall it feels rather clumsy, it doesnt animate gif files, no respect for .nomedia, etc.
Yeah, technically this is a question but here goes: What gallery applications do you use? If you could rip the gallery app from any device which would you choose and why?
Personally, im thinking of trying to rip the gallery app from the S2 or the galaxy tab, i know the S2 works well with gif files and thus far has not given me the amount of pain the Asus one has.
what do you think?
only thing I hate is that it won't allow you to rename files in there. so i use Asus file manager to rename. for the pictures or whatever you don't want shown, Quick pic works perfectly to hide whatever you don't want shown. I noticed GIF. don't animate in there also. they do in quickpic. but that's not a big deal for me. Other than that, I actually like the gallery app. its way better than my Ipad stock gallery app. I haven't came across another gallery only app. I'd be up for trying one. as long as its one that doesn't need to make duplicate copies to fill up its own gallery.

I use quickpic, I've always used quickpic so I'm not sure whichother I'd use
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
+1 on quickpic, you can do so much with it.
put folders the way you like them, move pics around easy and it makes any pic you look at nice and big.
i will never use anything else and ive tried a few.
I also use QuickPic. It is the best gallery app on Android, hands down. Not only is it super fast and responsive, but it is rock solid and has tons of file management and editing options that don't exist inside of the stock Gallery app.

+1 on quickpic - however has anyone used the gallery app on MIUI 4??
I used it on my old desire hd, it was pretty nice!
Gave quickpix a try, it does everything i need. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
My rom is an official rooted stok ics and, despite I've also unistalled and installed FB app, I can't see timeline. Instead I have it with the same app on the phone... do you have a clue?
There's another fb app thread here.
It seems the app hasn't been fine tuned at all for Android and various devices.
narrow column
cropped photos
screen caps (if you're sharing games in a game group) are cropped in half...so annoying.
IIRC actually, I think my gal tab 10.1 DID display Timeline fine. IT doesn't on the 8.9.
On my 8.9 it sometimes shows timeline, but as of the moment it doesnt, cant even view photos or albums now

Facebook app for android is just [email protected] It seems they didn's spend much time in devoloping it.
I hope further versions will be better
Hi, I don't know guys how, but it may have to do something with cm10 JB 4.1.2 because since I installed that version, Facebook app just works fine. Proper timeline, photos, etc.
I find the website is way better than the app. In most cases it's faster too.
I had a galaxy s3 which was smooth when zooming thru the pictures in the gallery.
Now i got another galaxy s3 , with OMEGA V33.2 Rom , along with siyah 1.8.
What is causing this thing ? I also removed all unwanted bloatware.
Thx
I too noticed the Lag when zooming pictures.The lag started after I updated to 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
On 4.1.2 no such issue.
Wait for the update to come out.

The gallery on 4.1.1 (Touchwiz) is bugged, black bars and weird stuff, they fixed it in 4.1.2 by bringing the note 2 gallery.
So no it isn't a core android issue, just fixed by samsung in their 4.1.2 leak.
Confirm that 4.1.2 works perfect.

Meh, stock gallery is still slow to load. Especially when I take a picture and then click on the new image, its like its trying to re load my entire photo archive from scratch. Really annoying

Its a shame really, QuickPic is really smooth. But you cannot link it to the camera app unfortunately.

Im using quickpic too until 4.1.2 is released and the damn lag if fixed
Same here, but it only happens with the stock gallery, if you are still on 4.1.1 you can install the note 2 gallery app and it should smoothen things out until 4.1.2 is released.

I doubt it will be fixed. It seems like Samsung ignores the simplest things on a phone. Contacts/Dialer that is slow to load, messaging app that refreshes (when you can see the phone numbers before your contacts names load up), laggy gallery. Ex dialer is a fine solution for contacts. But the slowness of the gallery app when opening it after taking a picture is quite poor. The gallery app should open when the camera is open, or at least stay in memory. Seeing the phone say LOADING for 2-3 seconds when other phones are instant is a shame lol.

Couldn't agree more.
All basic things are a mess in this cell.
Gallery lag
Yesterday i installed the stock 4.1.2 rom from kies (i am not rooted) and the whole phone seems laggier, especially the new gallery app it is awfull, it lags all the time even when it is allready opened in the backgroung. the pinch to zoom is almost unresponsive, too laggy.
Should i make a hard (factory ) reset , because some people say that the 4.1.2 is very fast. I bought the s3 I9300 two weeks ago and it had 4.1.1 which felt not that fast (and coming from iphone 4s a bit dissapointed) but for sure better than th 4.1.2. Suggestions please !!!
It is a piece of ****. Just use QuickPic

viewing photo from Samsung stock camera is extremely slow,often took more then 2 sec to actually load the image (only allowed to use galaxy gallery app)
When I download Google camera, viewing image by swiping left display the image instantly and smoothly (using google+ photo app)
I want to keep using the Samsung stock camera because it's so much better then google camera, but viewing photo through camera app is insane painful
any solution?
I got the same problem. They literally take some time to load each picture. Would have though that they would open faster with the new internal flash memory as the read and write speeds were supposed to be quite fast. They said they were the fastest on the market today but obviously this is not the case when load times of each picture is 1-2 seconds.
You've said by your own.
The stock camera is much better than google camera and it has a very good quality and that means it's need more time in processing because it's better.

I don't think that is the true reason for slow load
because once u load the first image, the following 100 image will scroll smoothly
if you saying the first image need more time to load because the picture was just recently taken,
then it should instantly load if I patiently wait for few seconds after photo taken allowing time for image to save, which is not the case, the gallery still require seconds to load the first image despite waiting
this proves that it is the gallery/camera app problem instead of image quality or anything

anyone know how to reduce delay when opening samsung gallery app through camera?
or even better, change the default gallery app load through camera to quickpic ?
I tried almost all famous third party camera app, all of them are pretty bad in terms of speed and function
I don't have this problem. Mine loads quickly even if I completely quit the camera app take a picture then look at it. Believe me I know how bad it was with their previous flagship I had the Note 3 but I commend them for this.
Bump... Anyone found a solution to this? Aggravating when you want to see a picture you've taken, and it takes 10 seconds to load.... The old solution of removing 'other sources' from the Gallery app isn't possible anymore, as Samsung have removed any concept of settings from the Gallery app. Annoying!!
