Hello this is my first post on Lemmy, I have been disgruntled with Xiaomi’s stock gallery app and wish to switch to an alternative that will not steal my data.
𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒏 ( @lemann@lemmy.one ) English27•1 year agoI use Simple Gallery from F-droid
I downloaded it, looks nice so far.
sabreW4K3 ( @sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf ) English2•1 year agoYep, this is the best available right now.

I have not tried this but it looks nice.
thank you! I will consider it.
plactagonic ( @plactagonic@beehaw.org ) English3•1 year agoCan confirm, I replaced bunch of useless cloud crap on my mum’s phone with simple tools and she likes it. I use them too.
PanaX ( @PanaX@lemmy.ml ) English6•1 year agoI really like Aves Libre.
gaael ( @gaael@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year agoMe too, been using it for a few weeks now and it works great for me. That being said, I don’t have that many photos/videos, so I don’t know how it handles large content collections.
Darthou ( @Darthou@lemm.ee ) English2•1 year agoI’ve been using it for a little over a month now with about 10000 items in my gallery with no issues. I really like that it reads and writes tags to each files metadata. That way it works well together with Shotwell on my desktop.

ArkyonVeil ( @ArkyonVeil@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English2•1 year agoPardon me if I may inquire, but how exactly does Xiaomi’s gallery fail, at being a gallery application? Morbid curiosity if you will.
it has a crappy video player and is bulky
0x4E4F ( @0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) English6•1 year agoYeah, the video player is shit, crashes all the time. I just use VLC for the videos and the gallery app for the images.

auhu ( @auhu@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoNot the gallery app, but my MIUI file manager has fucking ads
