Sony Gallery App sucks

[havanahjoe]

At least for me. I loved being able to snap a pic with my big camera, have the EyeFi upload it and sync it to Picasa, and have the picture in my JB stock gallery on the Nexus 4 automatically. The Sony Gallery will pull the Picasa images, but I have to manually tell it to refresh and it takes a LONG time.

Once the image is downloaded I can't share it from there, I have to download it and then go look for it and share it. It also downloads a small version of the image.

I was able to install the stock JB Gallery app but I was missing the components to sync Picasa. Still need to work on fixing that. Anyone use something that would make things better?

I don't know if this will help because it probably is quite obvious to you already, but have you tried using quickpic?

Quickpic sucks on XZ/ZL, pictures not fullscreen and also with black bars

Auto sync meaning sync Google Photos under settings? That's enabled and I still have to manually refresh.

Oh that's not the way it's supposed to look? Haha. I had never used Quick Pic. It looks pretty good, but it doesn't have Picasa integration, so it doesn't add much value here.

I did find that I can pull the Picasa pictures more easily with Google +, but I still have to download them and then share them. It only shares to Google +. At least the resolution of the downloaded images is much better than what the Sony app gets and the pics are already synced when I open the app.

It looks like the Sony gallery does not use the Android sync service and pulls its own version of the images.

Exactly my point, it is really annoying that it is showing all the images at once, including whatsapp images it is 1 big mess of images...

Someone over at Android Central pushed out the stock Nexus Gallery/Camera app from the new Samsung/HTC Nexus-ified devices. I just installed it and it works perfectly on my C6506, and Google+ Photos/Picasa is working like a charm. Gotta say I love the stock Nexus Gallery.

Give it a go.

That is AWESOME! Downloading now. Thanks for posting the link!

Edit: Installed and it works great. Now to change the default app for the camera button and disable the shutter sound (I'm also not a big fan of the Sony camera app)

Great! The only downside is that we won't be able to make use of the Bravia Engine, but oh well.

Eh, I have it turned off. Then I unlocked my bootloader and even though I backed up my TA partition, I haven't bothered to replace it.

This app also shows my whatsapp images folder even though it has .nomedia.
Also I can't choose which folders to show... why is it so hard to add these simpel features

They want all of your Photos not only the ones you choose, I mean in case you want to use the sync option, which is (would be) a nice feature.
Would be very easy, I think, to add options like "Folders to sync"...."Folders to show"....and something like that, that makes the User the Owner of the Stuff

But these are Questions like, why we don't get an option to fully Access our Phones "Root" by Clickin......is all about the Money they make by Advertising "non Know Users" and so on....FTI.

We are all buying industrial Money making Machines for a lot of Bucks....because we love Tech!
