Camera Roll is a good replacement too, here's the Play Store link and here's the F-Droid one.
Camera Roll is the new gallery app to use for local folders (open source, too).
​
Crazy concept but it only requires the Storage permission.
- Open source
- Nice UI and animations
- Still unreleased though
- Not as smooth as QuickPic (yet)
I've been testing this for a while now. Definitely has the potential to become a serviceable gallery app.
Camera Roll. Beautiful, open-source, and stable, but still in beta. The developer responds promptly to reviews and is adding new features gradually. Definitely worth trying!
why would I use it over Camera Roll or Simple Gallery, both of which are free and open source, and have no ads?
Yet another copycat of Camera Roll, a free and open source gallery app. Please report this app as a copycat at the bottom of the presentation page...
I use Camera Roll - Gallery and find it simple but useful (it's also available on F-Droid here)
I will also recommend this app. It's very close to quickpic. Doesn't even ask for internet permission.
The other alternative is " Camera roll". This app is unreleased. So, It will improve in final release.

Motorola runs "plain" Android, so a lot of the duplicate apps you usually find on a Samsung, like Samsung Browser, Samsung Gallery, etc aren't baked in.
What you can do is go on PlayStore and find what apps you want, I'd recommend Simple Gallery or even Camera Roll https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.koller.cameraroll
These separate photos by the folders they're in, and some tinkering will help you organize, share content.
Also worth looking at is CX File Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cxinventor.file.explorer
This is an user friendly local file organizer that also links up to network storage.
Oh I didn't expect that to be honest as I didn't have much problems with sideloading "Album" on my Galaxy S6 with a custom ROM.
But thanks for checking anyway.
I will also just post the App I use: Camera Roll
Been using this for the last couple years or so
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.koller.cameraroll
I recommend tweaking the settings a bit (for example to get more elements in your grid)
I recently switched to an app called camera roll:
Seems to have all the features and even the default layout quickpic had, along with similar responsiveness.
I was using Simple Gallery then I found Camera Roll - Gallery. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.koller.cameraroll)
I think it's better than Simple Gallery. I had some issues whereby it was not refreshing the gallery when new photos were added like screenshots n downloaded photos.
Media folder has photos, videos, documents, audio files etc. that you received from WhatsApp chats. So if you need those WhatsApp photos, videos etc. backup that "Media" folder. Which you can do it later.
It's okay if you don't do it now. What I do is I keep backup of that media folder. And If there is something important, I put that media folder in my new phone & rename it to "Old WhatsApp media/old WhatsApp photos/old WhatsApp videos & so on". So I can know that these are the old photos/videos from WhatsApp. In case if I need anything from old WhatsApp media files, I use gallery app to access them. In case if your phone doesn't have gallery app. You can use camera roll or F-stop gallery app.
If you don't need those photos, videos then it's okay. No need to transfer it to your new phone. But back it up to cloud or PC. (It will be useful in case you need something from it in future.)
Camera Roll is a simple and open source gallery app with nice design. Give it a try if you're looking for a gallery app.
I like Camera Roll a lot!

Camera Rollis the best replacement.
I love Camera Roll, simple, lightweight and it works like a charm
Camera Roll did me pretty well for that. They have an option that matches it about 80% of the way.
Camera Roll. Great UX, plus its FOSS.
This is the one I've been using as well.

I really love Camera Roll
Camera Roll is an open source alternative to quicKpic
It's also available on fdriod
Camera Roll - great looking FOSS gallery app. I just wish it got another update since there are some minor bugs here and there. it's still my gallery app of choice, though.
Clean Share - a tool that cleans the URL you're trying to share from tracking parameters. there's a comprehensive list of parameters to clean preloaded, and you can add your own rules as well.
ColorDict - an offline dictionary manager. it's pretty old, and I only use it as a Moon+ Reader extension. when I highlight a word while reading an ebook in Moon+, I get a small popup with the word's definition
Cornie Icons - one of my favourite icon packs out there. material design with vivid colours and unique style. tons of apps themed and new icons are added every weekend
Custom Navigation Bar - a nifty app that allows you to change navigation button layout and add some extra buttons (for pulling the notification panel down, for example). requires root or ADB.
Camera Roll. Literally the most beautiful, yet still functional gallery app I've seen.
You might like Camera Roll. It's also on F-Droid, if you care
[DEV] "for sd card pics?" depends on your android-device and android-version. Starting with android-4.4 accessing the sdcard via the device-s filesystem was disallowed by android-os.
On my android-7.0 tablet and android-7.1 phone i have an android setting "treat sd-card as internal memory" so all android apps can access files on sd.
depending on your definition of "good gallery":
- if good means beautifull and easy to use have a look at Cameraroll and Simple gallery
- if good means powerfull have a look at A Photo Manager where i am the author of. I currently have 20 000 low-res images on sd-card of my android-7.0 tablet, android-7.1 smartphone and android-4.2 tablet.

If you use google (the search engine) , gmail and youtube you are giving away lots of information about yourself.
Just think about how much of your life goes through google services: were you work, what interests you, your demographic etc.
You can turn off location services but the terms and conditions can change at any time, and you (like all of us) accepted those terms without second thought.
Companies like Facebook track users without an account, so you don't need to use their services for them to violate your privacy.
Anyways about camera galleries:
I like <u>camera roll</u>, its simple, has no bloat, follows material design gidelines and its free and open source unlike google apps.
Open source apps are nice because you can verify for yourself that they don't run anything nasty in the background, most people don't check for themselves, but its better than not having the option to check.
Camera roll is also on the play store.
I still use the stock dialer and don't video edit but I use
Camera Roll https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.koller.cameraroll
NewPipe https://newpipe.schabi.org/
I use Camera Roll for my gallery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.koller.cameraroll) and it has a max brightness setting you might like.
Install this and you'll be as right as rain young grasshopper. Cheers

Camera Roll looks promising. Open source, fast & sharp, dev seems decently responsive on git https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.koller.cameraroll
