I've been meaning to fully express my gratitude and thanks to WSTxda for QP Gallery for quite a while now, and with this new release, this seems to be as good a time as any.

It works beautifully and it takes me right back to the old Android 'Ice Cream Sandwich/Jellybean/KitKat' days of yore, back when QuickPic was the

'must have'

gallery app, before Cheetah Mobile got their very dodgy paws on it:(.

And so with QP Gallery... well, it's like welcoming back an old and dear friend, whom you haven't seen for many years, and want to invite in for coffee and cake:).

-------------------------------------------

As others have previously mentioned, this new release (v7.6) no longer attempts to make dodgy connections to a server 'somewhere in China'. According to the 'App Snitch' app (see screenshot below), the only connections it seemingly attempts to make, is to Amazonaws (Amazon Web Services), which is pretty innocuous, as many other apps do likewise, and is likely no more of a risk than an app connecting to Google. Unless you're a fully paid-up member of the 'tin-foil-hat' paranoia brigade, then I think, with these 'always-connected' phones/tablets that we use, you've kinda gotta accept some element of apps connecting to servers somewhere, and Amazon isn't something I'd really worry about. The worst that can happen is Jeff Bezos people will try to sell you a new Kindle... or a new kettle/toaster/toothbrush or something like that!:).

-------------------------------------------

Anyhow, I digress. I just wanted to thank WSTxda for rescuing QP Gallery from the clutches of Cheetah Mobile, and making it once again, the superlative gallery app that we all know it is... Thanks WSTxda:).

Kind Rgrds, Ged.

Edit & additional

OK, after a bit more tinkering and testing - it appears that App Snitch only triggers a notification for QP Gallery connecting to Amazonaws

after

entering the 'Wallpapers' option available on the left sidebar.

So, if you don't bother with the 'Wallpapers' option, then QP Gallery never connects with anything:). I'm not even sure what the 'Wallpapers' option is supposed to do. It's always empty when I enter it.

Let me add....it's also trying to connect to Amazonaws in Wifi transfer as well.

But many other apps do the same, so yeah...nothing serious.

That's how 7.5.2 is for me. No weird umeng connections. I'll get to 7.6 when I get time to redo the settings.

Requesting tiny change for a huge improvement...

Ok, so I am using the new, improved, hacked and modded QuickPic Gallery offered here on all my 20 or so Android devices. For a long time now.

Only thing that is really a huge flaw is a tiny problem when using the app under Android TV. (In my case NVidia Shield TV and 1st gen Amazon Fire TV Box).

The app works perfect on both systems, I also make heavy use of the Samba feature to connect to my PC and my NAS.

But here comes in the flaw: You can hardly see the frame surrounding the selected image or folder in gallery view when using a remote control or a bluetooth keyboard. (Read: app usage without a touch screen).

Simply spoken: the selection frame has got the same colour as the menu background. Only that the selection frame around the selected image is a tiny bit wider than the standard frame around every other image and folder.

This makes the selection frame (almost) impossible to see.

Would it be possible to give the frame a contrary colour? (black background - white frame and vice versa....)

Just as an example, below a snapshot directly taken from my old 32 inch tv. The selected folder here is the one titled Sido - Maske - 2004. You can see that you (almost) can´t see the selection frame.

An even worse situation is the selection frame between a bunch of pictures, where it gets pretty much invisible if you don´t pay extreme attention to the subtle change of the frame size around the selected image.

Thanks for reading.

Awesome! For what it's worth, Quickpic 4.3 was the last version that had that feature. If it could somehow simply ported over, that might be easier than doing it from scratch.

First, thank you [MENTION=9147586]WSTxda[/MENTION] for the hard work you've put into this mod!

Is there a way to remove WiFi transfer and Upload to Cloud from being pinned to the top of the share menu?
[Android Apps and Games] WSTxda:
right now I want to make them work, and the Wi-Fi transfer works on my and other devices.
[Android Apps and Games] kram12085:
I don't mind having them as options but I personally don't like that they're pinned to the top. I'm assuming this is hard coded and it's not an option I'm missing somewhere?
[Android Apps and Games] WSTxda:
I will consider.
[Android Apps and Games] WSTxda:
I have good news is bad news!

The good thing is that I was able to sync cloud authentication

The bad news is that nothing is accessible, immediate FC Lol.
[Android Apps and Games] WSTxda:
I basically forced the sync with Google Play Services, which was broken by the fact that an installation via APK.
[Android Apps and Games] painiac:
I have an LG G5 running a freshly installed ResurrectionRemix 7.0.2, and I assume the fact that it's unofficial Android 9 might be the source of these issues, but... my text is STILL pink.

Also, if I open an image with this by selecting it in FX File Explorer, I am unable to swipe to any other images in the same directory; it treats it as if it can only see the one image. This happens for both internal storage and external SD card. By contrast, Simple Gallery does not have this issue. I confirmed that Storage permission is enabled, but beyond that I don't know what else to try. If I open the image from within the Quickpic gallery, swiping to other images in the same directory functions as intended.

I had these same issues on ResurrectionRemix 6.2.1 (Android 8) with the pre-2019 version of quickpic mod, but I didn't test this latest version because I only just found it.

Is it possible to Show Pictures from Google Drive and Dropbox Cloud in the App?

[Android Apps and Games] GedBlake:
If you take a look a couple of posts back, above, you'll see that WSTxda has reported trying to get cloud sync to work, but has encountered difficulties with the app FC'ing.

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

Hi, painiac...

Yep. I can report similar, with regards to FX File Explorer. But no pink text though:)

So, on my Moto G6, in FX File Explorer, and with QP Gallery set as system default, swiping between images in a folder, containing perhaps hundreds of images, gives the impression that there is only that one (currently viewed) image in that folder... ie., swiping left or right to the 'previous/next' image doesn't work as it should. Swiping causes a 'bounce' effect to indicate (falsely) that there are no more images in that folder.

And as you've said, Simple Gallery doesn't have this issue in FX File Explorer, and nor does Memoria Photo Gallery, which also works correctly, with regards to left/right, previous/next image swiping.

----------------------------------

Strangely though, with X-Plore File Manager, this isn't the case:). QP Gallery works perfectly fine here (once X-Plore's default image viewer is disabled), and swiping left and right between images works as it should. Which is pretty good for me, because X-Plore is my preferred Android file manager of choice:).

So I suspect there's some weird conflict between QP Gallery and FX File Explorer:(.

----------------------------------

There's no pink text in QP Gallery, on my Moto G6, running factory stock Pie 9.0, so that's possibly an issue with your Custom ROM, ResurrectionRemix.

----------------------------------

Anyhow, as good as Simple Gallery and Memoria are, I much prefer QT Gallery, 'cos it's lightweight, simple and straightforward to use, it's also incredibly smooth and responsive, and it's all thanks to WSTxda:).

Rgrds,

GB.

Once in a while, I have this issue when viewing an image from ES File Explorer Pro. Swiping left or right would only bounce back to the current image. After several seconds, swiping left or right would show the other images in the directory.
[Android Apps and Games] GedBlake:
Hi, replica9000...

You may already be aware of this, but ES File Explorer Pro should be treated with some caution. It was 'pulled' from Google PlayStore early this year, due to the dubious activities of its developers, DO Global.

More details available here...

https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...play-store-possibly-part-of-do-global-scandal

...and here...

https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...ud-scheme-by-chinese-baidu-spin-off-do-global

It's a pity really, 'cos I always liked ES File Explorer Pro. I currently have it uninstalled, but with the APK backed up on my SD card, as it can no longer be downloaded from PlayStore. Until Google rescind their PlayStore ban, I think I'll keep it uninstalled, just to be on the safe side:).

So, much like Cheetah Mobile and their equally dubious treatment of the original QuickPic app, with user data being potentially uploaded to a server 'somewhere in China'... well, it just doesn't seem to be worth the risk to have ES File Explorer Pro installed anymore:(.

Anyhow, just my thoughts and advice... for what it's worth:).

Rgrds,

Ged.

Hi there,

I second this regarding the impossibility to swipe from an explorer app (MiXplorer for me)

Thanks

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

You're [MENTION=243864]xda[/MENTION] there... MiXplorer is the file explorer you need. No more excuses
[Android Apps and Games] WSTxda:
You are using version 6.5, install at 7.6 bro.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
So far, I'm liking MiXplorer. Only downside so far coming from ES, is that opening an image with Gallery won't let me swipe to other images within the same directory. Seems it's a QP bug that won't work with Pie complaint apps. Maybe [MENTION=9147586]WSTxda[/MENTION] can fix it?

[Android Apps and Games] painiac:

Limitation of android P and Q. Nothing to do with app

Sent from my PH-1 using Thebear Blue XDA Labs
[Android Apps and Games] painiac:
I inferred that it has something to do with the way later Android versions restrict access. However, some image viewers have solved it but I am unsure how. As I said, Simple Gallery has overcome this limitation. If QP Mod would implement the fix, it would be crowned the greatest image viewer as the original QuickPic once was.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
Android Pie and later have stricter requirements on content uri handling. This app needs to be updated to those requirements as well. That's why opening an image in something outdated like ES File Explorer will allow you to swipe to other images in the directory, but can't in updated apps like MiXplorer.

If you want it to be enabled via magisk, you can simply do it yourself. To create a magisk module you simply need to create/follow the directory structure at https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html#magisk-modules It does not have to be in the module library to be a module.

[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
Hi.

So I've seen the change log and the 2nd attempt to fix the FC on nougat. Unfortunately it's still there.

Plus I've noticed another unusual behavior. I have QP set to sort folders by change date, latest on top. Fine. But it appears that QP picks change of any file in the folder. For example, in the Download folder I have pictures and of course some other crap. When I change any file (move, copy, paste, edit) other then picture, QP shows this folder on top as last changed.

I believe before (long time ago) it used to sort only when new pictures (or clips) got into the folder. Just saying...
[Android Apps and Games] simeoni:
It uses the time stamp of the folder, not the time stamp of the newest image.

This is a problem on OnePlus where OnePlus gallery changes the time stamp of almost each folder when you just browse the albums.

Would it be possible that QP checks the time stamp of the newest photo in a folder?
[Android Apps and Games] eng3:
I would also love to have this feature.

Ideally, something that would allow a bulk scan of all the folders and reset the folder date to the newest or oldest image date.

Also, I tried the Backup feature to backup to Google Drive. It does not seem to successfully connect since it does not list any of the Google Drive folders. Then when doing a backup, it fails.
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
And regarding backup, is there any backup of the QP settings?

Hi, stranger94...

For some reason, I always thought the original developer was called 'Alen', possibly due to the package name - com. alensw. PicFolder - but this seems not to be the case.

Anway, I've just found an old Android Police article (link below) from September 2015, with (the then) news of QuickPic's sale to Cheetah Mobile, and it turns out the original developers name is

Nanling Zheng

who, according to the article, joined Cheetah Mobile after QuickPics sale...

https://www.androidpolice.com/2015/...o-cheetah-mobile-says-ads-wont-be-coming-soon

Incidentally, on my ancient (and abandoned) Samsung S3 Mini, I still have the original QuickPic app installed (v4.5.2), and in settings, the developers name is given as

Q-Supreme team

, and an email address with Nanlings name in it.
