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.

I used the Camera JB+ which can be purchased for 1.99 on the Play Store.

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).

I'm not very fond of the camera app on MIUI, looking for a third party one if available.
Any fan favourites out there?
Hmm, I was expecting more of a response to this one, can anybody suggest any camera apps, or could someone get me the apk of the default Samsung camera app?
Thanks

Try using
1. Paper camera
or
2. Camera 360 ultimate (recommended)
Thanks, I'll check them out!
Hmm, Paper Camera seemed to be a little cartoony for my liking (very effects based), and 360 wouldn't let me use my front-facing camera
Just looking for a simple camera that can store to my external SD, and preferably allow the power button to take photos
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
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.
brilliant thanks alot
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.
Is there a way to change the Camera app so it launches Google Photos instead of Gallery from the thumbnail inside the camera app?
The latest photos app asks to install a floating shortcut to photos which works in the camera app. Note I'm on the concept from so it may be a marshmallow thing

Interesting, I see that feature was launched in 1.10 Photos, but this phone is on 1.11 and doesn't have it. Also the ability to erase from SD card, which would be great.
Must be a Marshmallow thing, maybe I'll just have to upgrade.
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.

Did you try: settings/app management/apps installed/the 3 dots at the top right/management of default apps

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.
