Go complain to cheetah mobile. The app is just a simple gallery app, it isn't a freaking map. I don't want my gallery reading my GPS coordinates. Use a file manager to view all that other nonsense.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Uninstall previous version.
[Android Apps and Games] kushalsv:
Had the same issue, I have uninstalled it. Wrote on the dev's telegram as well, didn't get a response. :/

Simple gallery for now I guess :shrugs:
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Search the thread. Webm has been discussed numerous times. So many in fact that we are done discussing it.

Can you please add an option to show content from dirs with .nomedia by default?

I need to tap ... and select Show hidden every time.
[Android Apps and Games] gpucpu:
Could you make it so that the slideshow would automatically play videos, but only for the amount of time selected (for instance mine is set at 15 seconds before it plays the next file)? Right now I have some short 15 second webms I'd love to see in my slideshow but instead it treats them like static pictures by only showing the first frame.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Been discussed. Search the thread...
[Android Apps and Games] gpucpu:
I searched using the words 'webm, slideshow, slide show, slideshow and videos, mp4 slideshow, mp4, videos' and nothing helpful came up.

edit: But I'll just assume it can't be a thing yet since it still isn't.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Long story short webm and webp are not supported because the base of this mod 4.5.2 didn't support them. Unless the base is changed, doubtful that they ever will. Try using a file manager like MiXplorer to change the file extension to mp4 or gif for vids and png or jpeg for static images
[Android Apps and Games] gpucpu:
Mp4? I'll try converting them to mp4 and see if that lets me play them in sideshow.

Edit: I forgot that I had already converted these into mp4 and have the same problem. I can play the videos fine, but they do not work in a slideshow.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Again, I think that is the limitation of the base of the app which is nearly 8 or so years old.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
I'll have to try to figure out what i did on my older phone to get webm/webp to show. I remember at first needing to rename them, then one day they all started showing up without needing to be renamed.
[Android Apps and Games] Fytdyh:
how about selecting the folders and clicking unhide. this way you are deleting the no media file allowing the system to see it.
[Android Apps and Games] OMAKE:
No. I need .nomedia file :-) Mediascanner skips it and do not slowdown system. I have ALOT of images on extcard. Simple Gallery for exam showing files in dirs with .nomedia.
[Android Apps and Games] Fytdyh:
use a file manager, get into each of those folders and manually delete the nomedia. alternatively you could search nomedia in your phone and delete all results.
[Android Apps and Games] OMAKE:
What is wrong with you?

I don't want to delete .nomedia files. Stop it.
[Android Apps and Games] Fytdyh:
then I don't understand your complaint. first you ask about permanently showing the folders hidden by the nomedia and then you don't want the system to scan them and show them, since it slows your device down. make up your mind.
[Android Apps and Games] OMAKE:
Image viewer can ignore .nomedia and use real file paths instead of mediascanner data. There is "show hidden" option in QuickPic but always off after app relaunch. I think it's good idea to save on/off state of that option.
[Android Apps and Games] Yur11B:
Very good job
[Android Apps and Games] contro19:
If you figure this out please share the solution.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
I'm trying. I'm not sure what triggered the change. This is from my OP 6T still on Android 9. Last installed version of this app is 8.3 before I moved onto my OP 8T.
[Android Apps and Games] Kitty85hun:
Download only Github users? Sorry my bad english.
[Android Apps and Games] christantoan:
Yes but you don't need to register for a GitHub account to download. Unless you can't access GitHub for whatever reason, it should be good.

Or you can get beta releases (and stable releases as well) from the Telegram group.
[Android Apps and Games] okazaki-kotaro:
I tried as suggested uninstall the older version and install the latest one but still fail I am able to install version 8.1 only starting from 8.2 to 8.5 version my galaxy note 10 plus refuse to install
[Android Apps and Games] ITawate:
is the app is not live on play store?
[Android Apps and Games] christantoan:
If possible, get the logcat when the installation error occurs. It usually has more info that can help you troubleshoot.

No and I don't think it will ever be as this is an unofficial modification.
[Android Apps and Games] loopypalm:
please an offline version without any cloud or backup fonction
[Android Apps and Games] WSTxda:
In the future there should be a third option, with another package name and without these options
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Package name conflict. Use the new package name version.
[Android Apps and Games] emko7:
Still no microSD card support in explorer mode? When I go to add an included folder under storage it is still showing blank, when a few versions of QP and Android ago it used to show the sdcard there.

So for now I can only browse my internal SD. When I untick explorer they show up, but they are much too disorganised as the folders aren't nested and are unmanageable. Folder browsing is the main reason I use QP.

I have enabled all file access permissions and am running version 8.5 on android 11.

Hi, i'm coming from Samsung Gallery and missing one special feature...

In the original samsung gallery App you can create virtual folders.... You can "move" existing Folders in that virtual folder without actually moving them .

That was so useful because I have many folders like WhatsApp telegram and tiktok and added them in one folder.

Is that possible?

Also it would be awesome if there would be an option to change the DPI of the gallery because I like it I little bit smaller or add an option for more collums that more folder can be shown .

Thanks allot

You're better to post questions etc in QuickPic Mod's Telegram Group.

Here's the link:

[Android Apps and Games] -Frankz:
This is an amazing gallery app, in the past I've tried numerous open source replacements but they were never really pleasant to use, until I found this one!

Great ui/ux and features, thanks a lot for your hard work 👍
[Android Apps and Games] The_snesh:
I have the same issue "No SD Card found" in the Explorer view.

I read the last 15 pages and as someone suggested in the FAQ I noticed:

"

SD card folders (Android 11)

Due to changes in the behavior of external storage QuickPic is unable to show folders from external storage, both in explore mode and in folder options and more... This is an unsolved error for this mod, so do not report bugs related to this problem.

"

but the user "esay_mac" wrote on page 79:

So, for Android 11 users, there is no way to work with SD card folder?

No version of QuickPic fixed this issue?

Thanks you...
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
2 different issues. Install newest quickpic mod from Telegram and see if issue is fixed
[Android Apps and Games] The_snesh:
I have already installed the 8.3.11 Ottawa beta link posted by JDM Sti on page 80 of this forum. Don't know if it's the right version.

The problem is that I cannot set the Included/Excluded SD folder cause there is only the phone storage, no SD memory folders shown by the explorer menu

Update:

I have just tried the 8.5.8 BETA (Pennsylvania) downloaded from GitHub but the issue persists.

Sorry, I don't use telegram, is 8.3.11 the last version put on Telegram Group?
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
8.5.8 beta is the latest. And you don't need to use telegram to download from Telegram. https://t.me/WSTprojects/1009

I believe due to how Google has implemented scoped storage, you need to grant access to SD card using whatever stock file manager comes on the device. Deleted images was fixed in version 8.4. All of this can be found in the settings of the app faq section I believe.
[Android Apps and Games] The_snesh:
Exactly as I wrote in the previous page

So to this day, the issue on Android 11 and QuickPic is unresolved for all the app version ?
[Android Apps and Games] The_snesh:
The link you put cannot allow unregistered Telegram users to download the file. There's no direct download.

I can view the telegram discussion (context) but I cannot download the file once I clicked over it.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Most likely won't be resolved. Blame Google. And the Telegram version is the same as the 1 on Github. Not sure why you can't download from Telegram, I suggest just getting a telegram account. Don't need the app, just use web version.. I don't use it except to get apps and wallpapers and other Android stuff. It's not like Facebook or twatter which I won't use
[Android Apps and Games] The_snesh:
Ok, unfortunately Quickpic without accessing to SD Storage to let you manage the folders it's a big problem.

I'll look for other galleries app...

Thank you Thebear j koss for the support!
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Try the free file manager MiXplorer, it has a built in image viewer and folders can be set to different views for example if you want a folder to show like a gallery app or as a file explorer. Each folder can be individually customized. Also it is a small app at under 6mb I believe. You can also add cloud storage and install free add ons like a music player, and remote file transfers from device to device. Just search MiXplorer here on XDA to see if it will work for you.
[Android Apps and Games] The_snesh:
@Thebear j koss

I'll take a look, thank you!!
[Android Apps and Games] Fytdyh:
So on Android 11 you are not supposed to be able to see pictures and videos from the micro sd card? weird. mine doesn't seem to have this problem. running Android 11, to be precise miui 12.5.
[Android Apps and Games] Fytdyh:
would it be possible to fix the app in order to see photos and watch videos stored on micro sdcard? tried simple gallery, both options work. would like to use quickpic instead. so a solution is possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Not on this version of quickpic the mod is based on. This app was built for jellybean I believe and won't work with Google's new scoped storage. I believe there is a magisk mod or an adb command that disposes of the new scoped storage.
[Android Apps and Games] Fytdyh:
any idea if there is another thread with another similar mod on a more recent version of quickpic?
[Android Apps and Games] Fytdyh:
seems there is another modded version of quickpic, made by another xda member @hk3f. here is the link

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-mod-quickpic-5-0-0-mod.3562999/

would it be possible to merge the mods?
[Android Apps and Games] hk3f:
I thought the image engine of quickpic was too old and it has an issue of slow rendering for larger images in latest Android system. So I stopped trying to optimize this app long time ago.
[Android Apps and Games] mirukjh:
thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] xeph20:
Ye.. I've had this problem for years... Same thing exactly as you and some other members... Some years ago I could see WebM files on this modded quickpic and life was beautiful. Then i got a new phone or i formatted don't remember and suddenly no more webms. This is around the time i got depressed i think. I tried dozens of other gallery apps. Some showed webm some didn't but ye all of them suck... First when i addressed this issue people didn't believe that i ever had WebM support. They called me crazy and worse. Someone indeed told that 1 or 2 quickpic mod versions were based on another base version and maybe that was it. I tried several older versions in the telegram group but never found my holy grail. To this day i'm still sad and searching.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
It is the newest quickpic from cheetah mobile. It was Modded once or twice here but was abandoned because a lot of stuff was obfuscated and piles of more malware was added in by cheetah mobile. Hence it being pulled from the store.
[Android Apps and Games] xeph20:
Still liked the WebM support though. They already had my data so ye. Now I lost my data and my WebM viewing pleasure from a comfortable setting :(
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
So just sideload it from apkmirror. It is still available. You can watch your device ping China every 6 seconds...
[Android Apps and Games] xeph20:
Would they still actively monitor it while it has been off the play market for so long ? And why isn't it possible to "mod" the new versions to remove the privacy leaks?

Sorry for the probably dumb questions
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
1.the mods are different, meaning they are harder to find. 2. They added in more stuff that would need to be found and reworked. 3. I believe if I remember correctly, if you disable the ping home, it breaks the app. Not sure if they monitor anything or if they ever did. Doesn't matter, all that is needed is to have it collected and sold. Most companies don't care about your data at all, except to sell it off for money. Who they sell to has no consequence to them, all about the bottom dollar.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
I tried installing one of the later CM versions of QP, then installing this mod directly after, but still no luck. The modded CM versions I tried in the past were stripped down, but still had the pink text problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Need to uninstall previous versions after signature key was changed. Not all versions were signed the same.
[Android Apps and Games] daelril:
Hi, thanks for your hard work, i love this app!

I have a problem that i can't seem to solve. I searched in the thread and found another user with the same issue but no one ever replied. When i browse the Moments section i can only see the pictures taken with the camera. Screenshots, pictures downloaded or from WhatsApp are not displayed. Although they are showed in the preview for each month. How can i solve this?
[Android Apps and Games] easy_mac:
Any thoughts on just using the newest app and blocking internet access (AFWall or using certain custom ROM settings)

Or does it seem like the app installs other malware that can't be blocked that way?
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
Other than the webp images, this mod functions perfectly for me. One thing I've noticed that some of the popular alternatives don't do is remember your spot if you use the app to pick an image to upload from another app like Reddit, discord, etc...
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
If I remember correctly if you disable the phone home ping any sort way, the app breaks and doesn't function at all. Just an easy app for CM to mine and sell your data to whoever wants it.
[Android Apps and Games] WSTxda:
Hello everyone! ❤️

As you can see we have been without updates for some time and I remained a little absent from the thread. Taking advantage, I would like to thank all the voluntary user-to-user support around here, you are amazing!

I would like to provide a bit of information about QP Gallery.

We've currently made a lot of progress on bug fixes, we've fixed some of the errors most reported by users, I'm currently trying to fix the webp view (although I can't get my hopes up as it's not a built-in library)

The next release should already come with support for Android 12, with fixes, improvements and support for Monet.

If you are on the stable version I invite you to try the progress of the next release by upgrading to beta.

Settings>Updates>Update channel>beta

And tap in (Check update)

To all users who report bugs here is my thanks for everything, I will be checking and correcting if possible.

Remember this is still a mod so some things are really difficult.

That's all, be at peace! ❤️
[Android Apps and Games] AllesMega:
All well done - big thx for the news / infos ! ! ! :)

[Android Apps and Games] Trikk-e:
Thanks for your great work. I read between the improvements Fixed SD card storage permission but I still can't see my Micro SD pictures, am I doing something wrong?

I'm using Android 11 stock, I guess that's the point.
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
Im on stock Android 11 on a Sony Xperia 1 iii and I can see my SD card pictures just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Trikk-e:
Hi mate, thanks for your reply, I got a Xperia 10 III, the distant cousin hehe.

If I clear data and cache I can see every picture on my phone, that's true, but I prefer to filter my folders so I just want to see SD:\DCIM, SD:\Pictures... But I can not choose this folders, I only can navigate inside the internal memory (storage\emulated\0).

I bought this cell in July and when I first install this MOD I could filter, I swear, but some updates after, I can't. I think the problem was there. I have been using this MOD for long and never had this issue on my Xperia XA2
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
Here is my SD card. I think I had to grant it permission to my external storage if I remember right. The "sdcard" driectory is your phones internal SD card, the actual extrenal SD card will '/storage/random string'. Mine is '/storage/6C33-6BB8'
[Android Apps and Games] Trikk-e:
Thanks Hippie, that's it, surely you had to grant permissions to the external SD. Mine doesn't work for the scooped storage politics in Android 11. What I don't know how to do is to grant permissions to my Micro SD :(
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Someone posted a workaround on the Telegram thread about creating a folder or something that worked for many users. Try checking over there.
[Android Apps and Games] Trikk-e:
Thanks thebear, I was having a look and I found a tip about it but I didn't know how to manage. It's OK, I will wait for future releases. Thanks to WSTxda one more time for all his/her effort.
[Android Apps and Games] hjkyu:
Would it be possible to add support for file types so I can see .webm
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Nope.
[Android Apps and Games] WSTxda:
ANOTHER UPDATE GUYS ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Starfiresg1:
Hi,

Updating to 8.6 removed the cloud menu completely (as per the changelog).

What was the reasoning behind this?

Without the cloud menu accessing samba shares seems to be no longer possible. I've used it in the past and it was working great - I could browse the images on my NAS just like on a local folder on the device.

Any chance this could be brought back?
[Android Apps and Games] ouzowtf:
What I would like to see are the Google Photos gestures for swiping up to see image information and swiping down to close the image.
[Android Apps and Games] ParadoxLogic:
Hi @WSTxda

I am using this on android 12, and there is no way to manage excluded folders.

I have foulders in internal storage i want to exclude and on my sd card, but i cannot navigate to them as nothing shows in the filebrowser.

If i go to root, where i would normally select my SD card it is just empty!

this is a major problem and makes the app unusable!!!

is there a workaround for this?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
You can hide folders that are stored on the internal storage & I use a file browser - ie: Root Explorer Pro / Solid Explorer or Mixplorer to manage what's on my external sd card.

The folders stored on the external sd card are visible for me (unless I hide them.

[Android Apps and Games] ParadoxLogic:
Hi,

Yes i know this, but i already have everything sorted on my Device, its just i have visa and passport and other sensative information that i need on my phone but not available in gallery.

And yes I can see the images in gallery but when i go to manage excluded folders the only thing i can see in internal storage is the pictures folder and nothing else.

there is no way to navigate to root, or to SD card....

kind of a big thing really.....why have a gallery when you cannot actually see the file structure of your device.....
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
I just long press on the folder I want to select it then at the top, press the 3 dots and select Exclude and it will give you the option to exclude it all together or just hide it.

No need to browse for anything in the file explorer.

Wow, I apparently have some dumb s**t on my phone. :ROFLMAO:
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
I'm not sure if I understand what you're trying to say.

I also have some sensitive information that I have screen shots of - ie: my Covid-19 Proof of vaccination QR code.

It's stored on both the internal storage & the external sd card - I made a new folder ( click on the 3 dot menu top right & "Add) for this & the Folder is hidden in QuickPic Gallery until I "unhide" it with my chosen security code.
[Android Apps and Games] ParadoxLogic:
Hi,

Please see the screenshots. When i go to "Exclude folder" I am presented with screenshot 1, as I back track through the file tree you can see screenshots 2,3 & 4 do not show any directories.

Considering we need to go to the root directory and select SD card to access external storage, this is impossible as the file structure is not shown.

I am using Android 12

Any ideas as to why i have zero directories shown?

like I said this is a problem for any android 12 user!!!

@Hippie459MN just as a side note, just because you have no need for it doesnt mean i also dont!! I know of the work around you speak of, but this is not what i want, I want to be selective through the Directory browser!

No Offence but for me the browser is important, and it is strange it is not implemented here!!!
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Not really sure what you're trying to do?

I use a Root Explorer to move any new Folders to the external sd card & then they appear just fine in QuickPic - Unless I have them hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] ParadoxLogic:
Really not sure What you aren't understand, it's really simple.....maybe there is a language barrier or you are just totally confused.

I'll explain in baby steps.

When I click on the menu that says "Manage excluded folders" those screenshots are what is displayed.....NO FOLDERS TO SELECT!

I'm not sure how you are confused...there should be folders there for me to select....that is the problem..

How is that hard to understand?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - Your condescending sarcasm isn't necessary.

I guess that I'm not just as concerned about excluding folders as you are.

Use a different gallery if QuickPic doesn't work for you.
[Android Apps and Games] ParadoxLogic:
It's not sarcasm..... It's a very simple issue with the app, and just because you don't care about the file browser, doesn't mean you speak for everyone, I need the browser!

I want to use this gallery, with the file browser implemented correctly.....
