Would you like a good upgrade to the Android gallery? QuickPic
might be one of the best alternatives. It is so much better than the stock
gallery in Android that Google should really just buy them out. The interface
is laid out much better and it seems to load a hell of a lot quicker.
When I rooted my phone and got rid of HTC Sense the gallery
was one of two options I actually missed. QuickPic is very
similar to the Sense
gallery however there are a few more options that are just not available on
sense.
As I said above it seems to load a lot faster than the stock
Android Gallery. On that fact alone it is worth trying out. I also love how it puts
the newest pictures on top instead of the bottom like Sense. Now one of the
coolest options is the ability to hide or exclude photos and folders. Not only
will it hide them in QuickPic it will also hide them in the Android Gallery.
There are a couple of differences in hiding and excluding. If
you are hiding a folder it will hide the content in that folder. If you
download anything else to that folder it will show up in the gallery as it has
not yet been hidden. You will need to unhide that folder and then hide it again
if you do not want those images to be seen.
If you exclude a folder it will only exclude it in QuickPic.
It will still show up in the Android gallery. I love this feature because there
are those apps that keep adding annoying pictures to your gallery against your
will. With that being said if you exclude the folder of those apps pictures will
keep getting added but you will not see them when you open up your gallery. I really enjoy this option and as you can see there is a big difference from hiding and excluding.
The number one feature of this app is that is free. For free
it is definitely worth a try check it out yourself. I have provided a link to
the market below.
