== Replacing Gallery3D with Gallery (2D version) ==

Android 2.0 and above (and their respective Cyanogen ports) replace the Android's original 2D Gallery application with a fancy one (known as Gallery 3D) with whiz-bang 3D graphics.

Unfortunately, it's painfully slow on devices like the T-Mobile G1 (aka HTC Dream) and T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (aka HTC Sapphire/Magic). However, if you've rooted your phone, you can remove the 3D version of the app and replace it with the 2D one, which is significantly faster.

{{{#!highlight sh
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk
adb push Gallery.apk /system/app/
}}}

Download the 2D version of Gallery: [[attachment:Gallery.apk]]

== Setting Android settings via adb ==

# Custom animation speeds
# TODO: Actually put the numbers I prefer here
adb shell settings put global window_animation_scale 0.75
adb shell settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.75
adb shell settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.75

# Verify
