New Gallery set up

I, too, like the new gallery much more than the previous one. It's definitely improved. But seriously, shouldn't they allow us to create folders and organize photos by now by moving them around, etc? That seems like a fairly simple functionality that google should have incorporated by now. I have to use Astro to create folders and move stuff, which isn't terrible, but it'd be nice to have it built into the interface. Also, is there a way to change the "album cover" or does it just set it at what it wants to?

Wow. I must be the only one who absolutely utterly hates the new gallery. It's the only part of my phone that lags like crazy and scrolls at like 1fps. Horrible! Absolutely horrible. In fact, I don't even notice any performance differences between this and 2.1, as 2.1 was amazingly fast. I just want my phone back the way it was. I hate this grrrr. *cries*

I have to agree with you there chammer, this new Gallery sucks! The scrolling is horrible. Even in landscape mode you can't stop the scrolling when you flick across. You are right, it seems choppy even in portrait mode. Gonna have to find an app that's better than this.

Did you do a factory reset after you updated?
