Lol, I dont know what I was thinking when I posted the above post, because what I should've done was to post how I did it
Basically, what you do is intigrate 4images 1.7 with vB 3 RC x in the 2.x.x way, described here:

Note that you wont be able to follow the guidelines in the exact way, especially with the table/field names. Just leave them blank if you cant find them.
Then you go to this post and upgrade as it says:

That and some really minor changes did it for me, I will post the url to my gallery as soon as I make it available for public
