Open source alternatives for gallery app
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.

I use Simple Gallery from F-droid
I downloaded it, looks nice so far.
Yep, this is the best available right now.

I have not tried this but it looks nice.
thank you! I will consider it.
Can confirm, I replaced bunch of useless cloud crap on my mum's phone with simple tools and she likes it. I use them too.
I really like Aves Libre.
Me 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.
Welcome to Lemmy and Beehaw! I just cross posted this over to !askandroid@lemdro.id as well in case there are more suggestions!
Pardon 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
Yeah, the video player is shit, crashes all the time. I just use VLC for the videos and the gallery app for the images.
Displaying images, truly a technological breakthrough for the modern era!
Not the gallery app, but my MIUI file manager has fucking ads
There's also this one if you like it lightweight.
