This version doesn't show .webp image files when browsing through folders/albums - why ? The original QuickPic does...

Colored icons in dark mode look somewhat "out of place" - is it possible to make the settings menu monochrome, just like in transparent theme ?
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Change webp files to jpeg or png extension using a file manager like MiXplorer or something similar and they show up. Webp wasn't implemented yet when this version of quickpic the mod is based off of was released

But it so inconvenient to change file extensions... :rolleyes:

BTW, just installed the original QuickPic 4.5.2, which this mod is based upon, on my android media box and found out it shows webp files in folders...

Really? It ruins your whole day I'm sure... Just use regular quickpic then. I only use this because of it's simplicity, all I needed was it not sending my data to China...

Not to say that it ruins my day but wastes time for sure.

For me the only reason for trying this mod was to get rid of pink font in folder names and menu. otherwise stock QuickPic ticks all the boxes for me.

As for personal data being sent to China or anywhere else - I don't care 'bout that at all because:

- I have no secrets

- if someone wants your data they'll get it one way or another ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
The point of this mod is to cut off all data sending. There is no pink text in stock quickpic. That was an older version of this app built off of the newer stock build 5.0 I believe. Just install quickpic from apkmirror if you don't care about companies stealing and selling your data.

There actually is pink/purple font in any stock version of QuickPic when running on Android 8 and newer - why would I try something else if there were no problems with the original app ?!
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Actually no. There isn't any stock version with pink and purple text. That is a modded version. Never has there been a stock version with pink and purple text. And you can't even install stock version because it has been banned on the play store. I think you should research this app a bit before you use it. The whole point of the app being available here is to use quickpic with all ties to servers disconnected. The pink and purple text was an issue created by the mod. It was later fixed in the version we use now. If you don't care about Cheetah Mobile stealing your data, you can use the stock unmodified version available on apkmirror. No pink text, no new themes, no servers cut. A ton of data being sent to China, a ton of battery drain.

Actually that's not entirely correct. This pink test issue came when users installed v5.x.x (the one before Cheetah mobile bought the app from main developers) on android 8. It'll still work fine on android 7 or before. So the issue apparently started on android 8+ and to fix this issue, different mods started appearing. Later Cheetah mobile fixed this issue in their official version.

5 0 was from cheetah mobile. 4.5.2 was last version not made by CM. It started on a modified version, stock unmodified quickpic never, ever had pink text on any Android version. I've been using QuickPic since holo/ics thru every android version including red velvet cake now.

You are right about the version number however not the rest. Check out these old versions available on apkmirror and you'll see that you are wrong. I couldn't find v4.5.2 on apkmirror but here is v4.5.3 (stock not modified version) on my Android 10 and it has pink text which proves my point.

Just downloaded and installed the latest QuickPic from apkmirror and I get pink fonts in it - see screenshots below ;) Running on Android 10 + MIUI 11

I know that trick but don't like it because when I upload those files to my computer and try to open them the image viewer says they are corrupted and I have to revert extensions to .webp

[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Sorry I should have been more clear, I was presuming it was understood that I only went as high as 4.5.2. I don't even consider any version afterwards to even be usable. I don't suggest trying any higher versions, but if people don't care about sending data to China then they can just use the CM garbage app. I only had pink text once on a modified quickpic built off of the new garbage and I didn't use it for long.

Been discussed numerous times. The mod was built before webp format was implemented. Use a file manager like MiXplorer to change the extension to png or jpeg. It will then show.

[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
I can view webp when I am viewing images with a file browser and I open with quickpic, but webp images don't show in my folders when I open quickpic. Doesn't really matter to me, I don't use webp and if I do have any, I just rename them to show in quickpic. Not difficult.

The OP isn't the dev of this app, he only modifies certain stuff and since it's a closed source app it's hard (almost impossible) to do such hardcore stuff. It's also possible that support for .webp files got broken coz of modding some stuff if it's working on unmodified version.

[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
From what I can find, webp is a container format with either lossy or lossless compression. The algorithms for either aren't based on the jpeg or PNG formats. QP must already have support for webp to render the image. As long as the file extension is a known image type, QP should see it, even if that extension doesn't match the image format. I took a few random images and gave them random image extensions, and they all worked in QP. With no extension, the image won't show in the gallery, but I can still open the image in QP through a file manager. Must be a bug in QP or maybe faulty webp images for them needing to be renamed in order to be recognized .
[Android Apps and Games] 7Tiger_:
Unfortunately, I'm not a dev or modder but as far as I can understand all this stuff, if the OP somehow managed to quite extensively modify the app, it isn't that difficult to solve the problem of not showing certain file types.

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

I tried changing extensions of webp files and yes, they appear in folders in QP, but if I try to open them in Faststone image viewer on my PC it says either "unsupported format" or something about damaged/broken file. When I change the extensions back to webp they open just OK.
[Android Apps and Games] nicesoni_ash:
Fiddling with xml files is easy which are easily modifiable after reverse engineering an apk but modifying java or other language stuff is hard as you need to have enough smali knowledge and that too when the code is not obstructed with tools like ProGuard. Kudos to the modder who's doing all this modification and that's why I wrote hard (almost impossible).

That's understandable as certain apps trigger specific types of filters based on extension types and may result in failure when the expected kind of data is not received.

Any chance for updated SMB connectivity?

For a start, let me thank you for this wonderful app :) which I use on all my devices as default image viewer and album.

I also use the SMB connection to lookup folders I have on my little NAS.

Sadly now the developers of the NAS have deciced to give up SMB v1 and some related authentication method (NTLMv1 ) is no more supported. The activation of SMBv1 on the NAS is still possible, but it seems incomplete (as to NTLMv1 missing). It will be very hard to convince them to reimplement this as it is flawed and unsecure. The NAS in question is the latest AVM Fritz!Box OS 7.20 - and so affects many users in Germany where this device is very popular.

Do you see a chance to step up to any later SMB version to access the NAS?

I have used this app mod for a long time & love it. But it does not work correctly on another phone having MIUI 12. Whenever I try to pinch-zoom an image there appear random big rectangular artifacts over the image. Is there a solution to this?

The other day i discovered that you can actually open *.heic files from quickpic if you do it from "file manager → select .heic file → open with", so it would be only to whitelist the extension for the main view. Other actions such as edit, view details, rotate... work too

This is right but as I don't follow the progress here but on his tg channel where no release was mentioned beta and most were stable enough for me (that's why I said stable enough for me and not released as beta because I was referring to tg releases) but seeing his explanation here, he might consider them to be betas. I should have said "based on tg". [emoji2]

Telegram builds are being worked on to support Android 11 in the best possible way, probably nothing will change for lower versions of Android.

Is anyone able to successfully have it show folders from both internalSD and microSD at the same time? I've noticed that if I add both storage/emulated/0/DCIM and storage/microSD/Pictures to my included folders list that only the microSD folder appears in quickpic. No other folder shows up even if I press back a few times. When I remove the microSD folder from the list, then I am able to successfully browse the picture folders on the internalSD. Anyone else have this problem, or know of a solution?

Gallery/QuickPic 8.2 alternative fresh install on android 11 problems

Hello WSTxda.

i have been using QuickPic from before "CM" and enjoyed it as this is the best picture app out there.

so i would like to say thanks for you great effort to keep it going. on android 11.

so to test it out i now have it running on 2 Google Pixels, 2 and 3 on with android 11 and as i do not know how to report bugs on Github i hope it is okay here.

So i am using primary google pixel 3 on android 11 build RP1A.200720.009 and "8.2 Alternative" but when start the app from fresh or it has been killed by android in the background. it always starts with en error message

"unknown error (code 14 SQLITE_CANTOPEN): Could not open database"

and some times it will not update the camera folder with recently taken pictures.

before the update previous versions of "Quick Pic Alternative" worked just fine after upgrading from android 10 to 11 without any problems but after uninstalling the Previous version and reinstalling version 8.2 it will not work correct and also the Backup function seems to not work any longer as i am unable connect to my samba network drive to make auto backup every night.

i hope this will use full for finding this bug and please get in touch if more info is needed

Thanks from Denmark

Hi, thanks for reporting, on Android 11 you may need to grant access to storage before using it, otherwise the message will be persistent. Cloud services have always been disabled in this mod...

Hi, I'm on Pixel 2 XL Android 11 using 8.2 alternative also. I've granted permission to files and media and I get the same error message "unknown error (code 14 SQLITE_CANTOPEN): Could not open database" as well. But this is a great app and I appreciate you continuing to work on it!
[Android Apps and Games] Martinelv:
Hello WSTxda.

I have of course allowed access to storage as you mod allows for android to give the "grant access" prompt but it still gives this error, and i have double checked that it have access and it also can see my images so it sort of works.

Do you say that all network services have been disabled on all or just 8.2 series ?

of your "mods" because i have been updating from before android 11 i think my phone was on android 9 when i installed one of you previous versions when i got my Pixel 3 and i have been using the backup function to upload min camera folder to my local Synology NAS over the samba function every night when it was connected to the charger and it have been working Great, so if it has been disabled i do not know how i got it working.

i have also tried to install a lot of the earlier versions but all of them seems to give this "unknown error (code 14 SQLITE_CANTOPEN): Could not open database"

can it bee that this "database" thing it responsible for storing some system app data that there is no longer access to when the your app has been uninstalled and then reinstalled and now have to comply with some new API level and therefore no longer can access this database.

because i had No problems after updating to Android 11 from Android 10. without change anything.

I just Had to try your new version and then it started to give errors.

I hope you get it fixed and thanks for Keeping "The Best Photo App" Alive

Update to (code 14 SQLITE_CANTOPEN)

Hello All.

My Quickpic "8.2 Alternative" have just suddenly started working normal on my Pixel 3 with android 11 build RP1A.200720.009 there have been no updates to android as the build number is the same,

There have been several updates through Google play but the only ones that i my opinion could have been influencing is maybe "Android System WebView"

There is no more "unknown error (code 14 SQLITE_CANTOPEN): Could not open database" even if force close the app through settings. and it seems that Access to the backup function through samba also works again, i can see my shared folders again, i have not set up backup again yet but there was no access to before.

so what ever have changed it is positive.

i do not know how googles project mainline work but maybe there have been some "invisible" update to the core of android 11 that have fixed this problem but...

for now it seems that "QuickPic" is back business for the functions i use.

On the

main screen

could be better if it had 3 columns of albums instead of 2; And

opening the albums

had 4 photos instead of 3. This to take advantage of the space on the screen.

I recently install GooglePhotos app again (after years), and see how the size of 4 columns of photos is so much comfortable than 3.

So, this modification could be so good for phones with a big screen

(like... almost all)

or with a high DPI.

This way the search of photos will take less time and this app will look updated, not like 2015 apps with big items on screen.

Take this as a feedback to improve and continue to be the best Gallery App (as always!) :D
