A lot of people running Cyanogenmod, and other custom AOSP-based ROMs would like to have the gallery that ships with the Nexus devices. This zip will replace your gallery (Gallery2.apk) with the stock Google gallery (GalleryGoogle.apk). This will give you Picasa sync and the ability to view Photospheres on Nexus 7 devices, and take Photospheres on devices with a rear camera! This mod also includes an addon.d script.
What is addon.d?
On some ROMs, like Cyanogenmod, there are scripts in /system/addon.d that run during a ROM update or flash. They can backup and restore system apps (like Gapps), or perform many other functions. This mod includes an addon.d script, so the mod is not lost during a ROM update! If your ROM doesn't support addon.d, this mod should still flash properly, but you won't benefit from addon.d.
Tested and Confirmed to work on:
CyanogenMod 10.2
Install Instructions:
- Boot into recovery
- Flash Install zip
- Reboot
Downloads:
Install-GoogleGallery-1.6.zip
