I want to use quickpic as my default gallery and it now is, but the default gallery still launches when in the camera app. Stock galley is nice but don't like the social and dlna integration because they do not work anymore since the apps are frozen. So any way to get it to launch quickpic with the default camera app?
If not what are some good camera apps your recommend?
Ye I wanted this and searched for it..seems it's hardcoded into camera and someone would have to modify it
yup its kinda annoying, maybe if i rename quickpic.apk to gallery.apk it might work.
I also tried a few camera app which all sucked.

No I tried that. It gives you something like application not installed.
Probably because it tries to call a function from quickpic that doesn't exist
QuickSnap is an alright camera app replacement. Made by the devs who made Lightbox (sorta like Instagram), but it's a standalone app. Problem is it has its own preview function that is not tied to the gallery at all, so sharing, uploading, etc. requires actually navigating to your gallery of choice. That part sucks, but otherwise it's better than the stock app (simpler, faster, looks nicer).
hmm its not bad and has a simple UI but does not do video

Anyone else annoyed by this? When I take photos with the default 2.2 camera app, they don't show up in the gallery. I have to install and run the "rescan media root" application. Kind of annoying when you want to share a photo quickly.
This problem is especially bad with the Camera Magic application, which is a great little free app, and has a gallery button, but never shows the pictures in the gallery until I have run rescan media root.
Please move to Q&A if you want, I thought this forum was the best place for this.

The default camera shouldnt be doing that. The 3rd party camera on the other hand... only real solution to that would be write the app devs.
If you are wanting a gallery app that is smooth as homemade vanilla ice cream and as fast as a Shelby Cobra, give this one a shot. Free @ the app market. You won't be disappointed!
It mops the floor with the stock Android gallery or any other gallery that I have tried.

I've been using Quickpic on my DX for some time now. It is my go to image app. Loads so much quicker than gallery. Good call!

Just do a search on the market for Quick Pic. You'll find it. The link you supplied takes me to a redirect back tomy isp's search page @ Roadrunner.com

I've been using this on my g tablet as well. The stock gallery just doesn't scan my images (tnt lite 314)
Awesome

Just found this today. Much faster than the stock gallery, and for some reason lately my stock gallery doesn't load all my images :/
I have one question though, can we install this and delete the stock gallery? Will that interfere with anything? Cuz I don't use the stock camera or gallery. Camera360 and QuickPic are what i'm using for my photos.
camera360 (found on Amazon, not Android market) and QuickPic are both nice finds,thanks!
Pretty darn quick. I like it! Thanks for posting.
Anyone knows if you can stream pics from your CIFS/NTFS shared folder on your home server?
I've been using Quick Pic on my phone for a while now. And it's just as great on the tablet.
Hi, can QuickPic totally replace the Gallery?
I don't understand how more people are not frustrated by the fact that picture can't be renamed after taking a shot..?
I would like to be able to rename the pictures as soon sa I take them, and from stock camera I can see the picture taken, but I can't rename it. Can QuickPic be accessed from camera (review of pic - right bottom corner)?
Thanks, Cheers,
Nenad

I do know that after installing QuickPic, I went into File Explorer and navigated to my DCIM folder where my pics are stored and clicked on a .jpg file, then the box popped up asking me which app I wanted to open the file in, Gallery or QuickPic. I set the check mark to "Always use this selection" and then tapped on QuickPic and made it the default .jpg viewer. You will need to do this for each graphics format type; .png, .tif, etc.
I do not know about the camera preview because I am running CM7 at the moment on my tablet. Anyone whom has used CM7 knows the downfall of the camera quality and I try to steer clear of even using the camera with this rom.
You can do as I have stated above, setting the file associations, and see what your camera app uses for the preview when you take a pic with your tablet. Then report back to us and let us know if this, in fact, does actually replace the default preview app for photos from the camera app.
[EDIT] I have just confirmed that if you install QuickPic, when you take a shot with your camera app and tap on the preview selection, it does give you the option of setting QuickPic as the default preview app from the camera.
Nope.
I made a QuickPic a default app to preview Jpegs (and other formats), but the problem is stil there:
From Camera app, when I hit a "image viewer" button, it opens a Galery-like 1 picture screen (on back, the Camera app is shown for taking more pictures).
Is there a way to tweak Android to use QuickPic instead (like "Registry" in Win?)
Cheers
Loving this app
Great app, I've been using it for a while. Was really happy when I found it, the stock Gallery appy is garbage compared to this app.
The pics and icons load right away, instead of sitting there waiting for no reason.

I was using Serendipity 6.3 and now Darky 10.1 rom, and I never got the option to choose - it always shows the preview in stock gallery... Can I remove the it (the stock gallery)?
BTW - I just left a "review" at "App Brain":
The best gallery app (IMHO)! Let me put out the facts others didn't: I just love the "rename" option - one can take a look at the picture, and directly rename it if you want (when the picture is in full screen. It would be nice though if one could do the same from a thumbnail preview - with a long press menu - the option lacks there...). One more minor issue makes me have another picture viewer installed: - if you open a hidden (.name) picture from a folder that has more then one hidden pics, it will show this one, but will not show any oteher by sliding, as would for non-hidden pics. It would be nice to have an option "show/ hidden files", and if the option is on, it would show all the hidden pics, and if it is off, it would show none. If this issue was not present, I would have had just QuickPic installed of all the pic viewers! Once again - thanks for the best gallery app - please make it even better!
Anyone having issues with date sorting? Looking at the details of each photo, the date is right but QuickPic seems to put them in a different order
Has anyone figured out how to launch the camera app? Ive seen it used in videos so I know its possible. I tried the Modaco camera launcher, but couldnt get it to work. Thanks
The problem is that there is no native camera app to launch. You need to install an apk that is an actual full camera app, not just a launcher.

There is a native camera app, if you don't use the stock launcher. When I installed ADW launcher EX, there is an icon called "camera" and it well, runs the front facing camera and allows video and still images. I don't believe amazon put in an icon launcher in their native ecosystem.

Anyway to create a shortcut to the app? Maybe anycut or something will work. When I was at best buy playing with the store demo it had a camera app on it. I wonder if it's the same app

I can confirm - there is a working stock ICS camera app, but no shortcut. If you go into Settings, Applications, Installed Applications, it's right there in the list: Camera, Version 1
The way I was able to launch it was through AirDroid (that's actually how I discovered it)
I tried using the Camera launcher that I installed on my Nexus 7, but it FCs.

Not sure if it makes a difference but I use apex launcher. I just click the camera app in the drawer. The camera works fine. If I could only get the flash the flash to work(j/k).
hi all
i been looking for an app to replace the album app on the Sony Z1 so far i have found F-Stop Media Gallery i have tried it out and it seems pritty good but was wondering if anyone has come across something better maybe
thanks
I also don't like the stock gallery so I switched to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.galleryics&hl=en, is very good but the only problem is they have Ads. Gallery KK is an update of Gallery ICS which was without Ads, now they renamed Gallery ICS to Gallery ICS (Classic Version) so you can try both of them. I have to try them too, if Gallery ICS (Classic Version) if with no Ads I will stick with that one.

Yes, Quickpic is good, just don't have the Widget.

I use quickpic, is fantastic
How about something with Privacy lock...like the one with FstopMedia Gallery.
Something with names other than Gallery Lock...Lock etc etc
I mean something that doesnt suggest its got some sort of Locking thing from the name itself...lol
need a gallery veiwer with inbuilt Privacy...not another third party app.
hanks
use Quickpic. its better than album.
I'm testing alternatives for the MIUI 13 Gallery app, and I have found a few candidates.
BUT even if I set the new gallery app as default in the MIUI 13 settings, when I press the image of a recent shot inside the MIUI Camera app I'm still getting the miui gallery .
How can I change that?
If the gallery is hard-linked with the Camera, it is useless to have another Gallery app because then you will have to deal with both.
P. S. If had root access a might have tried to uninstall the default Gallery app, and hope for the camera app to ask me for another Gallery, but without root I cannot install it or I can freeze it.

Yea you cant really change that as far as i know (even with root). You could however use gcam as your default camera and select the thirdparty gallery app as default to open via gcam. But I know thats not much of a solution.
