UPDATE (2015-09-12): an older version of QuickPic has been found (v3.4.9.1) which is before all the cloud integration (and server callbacks) were implemented. In fact, it does not request any Internet permissions at all. If this interests you, see the bottom of this post for the original Play Store APK and also the re-signed (neutered) APK. Credits to /u/var_without_a_clause on Reddit. An analysis of it (click on the "File detail" tab) shows that it does not have any server calls as found in v4.5.2 (e.g. http://ver.q-supreme.com/update, http://alog.umeng.co/app_logs, and http://alog.umeng.com/app_logs)

Summary:

v4.5.2 = pre-acquisition version that came with cloud integration and unfortunately some server calls. To block Internet access, use AppOps, Privacy Guard, AFWall+ and/or XPrivacy.

v3.4.9.1 = older version without any cloud integration/Internet permissions/server calls (may contain some bugs due to its age, but I haven't encountered any). In fact, I think this version is more responsive than v4.5.2.

Have any concerns about the re-signed APKs?

Here you go, this is a re-signed copy (v4.5.2, which is pre-acquisition) so it will never ask to update:(you need to uninstall QuickPic before installing this)MD5 of re-signed QuickPic v4.5.2 - 304159a86a8d207d864c26644adcd624SHA1 of re-signed QuickPic v4.5.2 - 3b5a20be24afe2d791dd9785ead4d7948a30bdc9SHA256 of re-signed QuickPic v4.5.2 - f7e383dd30687467ea085ba81b48dc6762be18bd550599a138 24cfd65074d6fa: if possible and if rooted, I may recommend using F-Droid ) to block QuickPic from accessing the Internet (if not using any of the cloud services). Just install AFWall+, change blocking mode to "Blacklist Mode", then tick LAN, WiFi and Data for QuickPic to block it (and really any other apps that don't need Internet access, like games, camera apps, galleries, calculators, etc.). I believe even pre-acquisition by Cheetah Mobile, QuickPic would connect to servers like http://ver.q-supreme.com/update http://alog.umeng.co/app_logs , and http://alog.umeng.com/app_logs The above file was created with the help of this guide and the original QuickPic v4.5.2 APK => I uploaded it in case anyone wants it as well.

To verify, you can follow the steps I took to re-sign it by using the above guide and the original APK if you wish.(you need to uninstall QuickPic before installing this)With this version, you may not need to block it with AFWall+ or XPrivacy (since it does not request Internet permissions). I am personally using this version (Greenified, blocked in AFWall+, and blocked in XPrivacy except "Storage" and "View") since I don't use any cloud features (as found in v4.5.2) and I find this version very responsive.MD5 of re-signed QuickPic v3.4.9.1 - e1e8a26a65fcd56f782c63de7a600f68SHA1 of re-signed QuickPic v3.4.9.1 - 8dc89e69b84a8635fb8f75115594c21443d2cd24SHA256 of re-signed QuickPic v3.4.9.1 - 0607f0d9202149b4acac3ed3b54ee632e0edda100ac47ef9e1 89aa9cb08c47c0MD5 of original QuickPic v3.4.9.1 - 73afea1666145eb3b3ba16501125c745SHA1 of original QuickPic v3.4.9.1 - d558b65d76f2ba2e6a18c7a31d8377bb1f9b3524SHA256 of original QuickPic v3.4.9.1 - e66b1e35220d2647c454e40a0ef10348139a451f4a69a63671 5ee3c6829fbae6You can download the original Play Store APKs (either from above or from APK Mirror, etc), compare the hashes I provided (or find hashes elsewhere), and re-sign them yourself using this guide or a tool like ZipSigner.
