New Apps from 2.1

[jasonb]

No, do it and then read the directions again:
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

The op also siad it can all be done directly on the phone. I don't have a computer right now.

Is it worth upgrading to? Advantages? Thanks!

Wow I don't know how you got it, but its very cool indeed. An amazing upgrade from the stock Gallary.

Try going HERE and get the file already unzipped and try again.

A mod actually created a thread about this earlier. The clock from 2.1 was also pulled and is now available. There is a direct link to download both of these apps directly from your phone in the thread as well:

This.

Very Nice. Thank you for the heads up. Wonder if theres a way to change the background.....its ugly. Everything else is nice

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

Any other easier way?

I don't get what all that means. what is adb shell?

Nicer animations, swipe viewing, more fluid operation, more view options.

I like it, anyways.

Disregard my previous comment. Background is done based on selected picture/album. Ugly Icon in selected folder = ugly background in gallery.

That is probably a limit of the host. A lot of folks probably downloaded those files already, and exceeded the host's limit. Sorry

I installed it and selected it as my default.

I am having a few issues. The pictures when selected look very grainy. Also when I go to the mode where it groups the pictures and select the group it brings ALL of the pictures up...

Help Please.

 

[Speeding Wheels]

so nice to have it organized neatly

Ok guys I read both lnks on adb and Busybox. I unzipped Busybox and put the binary in the tools folder. As of now I'm plugged up (not mounted) with my command prompt

" C:\android-sdk-windows\tools "

At this point I'm lost on what to do next. When I type " adb shell " I just get error: device not found. Do you have to be rooted to do this. My phone is not. Just trying to get the second gallery Icon gone. :blink: Help guys.
