In this tutorial we will be installing the old REDMAGIC gallery that was available until OS6, in more modern OS versions

You will need:

  • REDMAGIC phone

1. Download the apk

You can download the old Gallery apk from here

2. Install the apk

  • Open the Files app and go to downloads
  • Find the oldgallery.apk file and press on it

    • If it’s the first time you manually install an apk you might see a security message blocking it, don’t worry, just press on the settings option and allow the permission
  • Once the app is installed you can open it, it will ask for images and files permissions, you need to allow everything for proper functionality.

Known issues

  • If the images aren’t showing you need to long press on the app icon and select app info, then go to permissions and allow everything there
  • Some REDMAGIC 9 pro users reported the Gallery app not working properly, we tried it on a REDMAGIC 9 pro and it’s working for us, needs more investigation.
