[Q] Alternatives to default Contacts app and Gallery app topic

I'm looking for an alternative to the default Samsung Contacts and Gallery app.

Gallery app - the default Samsung app is rather slow/laggy. I'm hoping for something that has some form of Cloud Backup service (something like the auto-backup feature in Google Photos). I trying QuickPic right now but it's missing on the Cloud features

Contacts app - the default Samsung app is slow and buggy as well. From time to time, my contacts are "unlinked" from the dialer and sms app (causing the contacts to show up as numbers rather than contact names). To fix this, I export, delete and import my contacts. However, this causes all my contact pictures to become low-res. I tried Contacts+ but it is not really what I'm looking for.

[Q] Do any of these jaikbroken iOS tweaks have Android alternatives? topic

Hi! I'm missing some of the functionality I had with jailbroken iOS. I just figured I'd ask if there was any way to get any of these features on rooted Android. I've also provided a description for those not familiar with iOS.

• Flex 2 - This is sort of like a high-level GUI for the Xposed framework. It allows you modify variables, override method return values, etc.


• Phantom - Disables all of Snapchats security/privacy features. With Phantom, you can save Snapchat pictures/movies without the other person knowing.


• Activator - This allows you to perform certain action on set triggers. For example, you can mute your phone if you hold the volume down button or open an app if you swipe left on the status bar.


• GroovyLock - GroovyLock allows you to redesign your lockscreen using HTML, CSS, and JS.


• Eclipse - I'm 99% this is impossible to replicate on Android (given that there's no required design standard), but I'll add it here anyway: Eclipse basically modifies the UI of most apps to give them a dark theme instead of the harsh white that iOS uses for everything. The nice thing about Eclipse is that you can use it with other color schemes too, allowing you to completely change the look of over half your applications without any difficulty.
