Replacing Kaiser stock Album

I have downloaded Album_2_5_18202622_0 and installed it on my Kaiser.
It works well when called up from the program list.
However if the album button is selected while the camera is on it still brings up the stock album application.
Hoe do I get the camera to see the new album app. and not the old one?

Open file manager and goto the folder where whatsapp images r stored and just creat a file name ".nomedia"

It's not possible, because Whatsapp triggers the internal media library. You could manually clean media storage and sony gallery data or use an alternative app.
I would recommend Quicpic for general pictures like DCIM and Sony Album for dirty Whatsapp Images

undisputedpro's method is better, creating a folder prevents media apps from scanning the contents with that folder present on same directory. I'm using this method since i always save pages with the UC Browser and its annoying to see that the images embedded on the page is being scanned by our phone, result is it is displayed on the Picture widget of our Home launchers and gallery apps.
Thanks for the tips.
I have this same problem with TomTom, despite all the folders have a nomedia file in them, the images still show up in album. However, the whatsapp sent folder, which also contains a nomedia file does not show up...
They broke my signature...
.nomedia file not supported by xperia sp

I use quickpic so .nomedia file works i dont use album for veiwing pics
The pictures, movies and sounds sent and recieved from whatsapp are stored in the internal SDcard in the folder Whatsapp. IF you place a .nomedia file do this in all the folders This helps for me
I second what @mrjraider had written.
The Xperia Album galery app does honor .nomedia files... but only if the .nomedia file is located on the same folder as the pictures. It will still scan subfolders underneath for pictures.
So, go to Whatsapp's Images folder (by default located in /storage/sdcard0/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Images ), and create a file named ".nomedia" (dot nomedia, without quotes) there. Inside that folder, there's a Sent subfolder. You might also want to create the ".nomedia" file there.
Do likewise for ther folders inside /storage/sdcard0/WhatsApp/Media, if necessary.
Don't forget to 'close' the Album app (tap "Recent Apps" button [the rightmost one] and swipe the "Album" app to the side), before opening it again.
You'll see that the Album app honors the .nomedia files.
.
so let me check if I got it right.
I have to create ".nomedia" FILE not FOLDER in the folder that contains the pictures I want Album app to not see.

Yes.
Also, clear cache on album and media scanner.

Use app published by me on Play Store
Forget the pain of manually doing it every time. Just use this app published by me on Play Store.
The app name is: Hide Whatsapp Media
Sorry, as i can't post a play store link as this is my first post on xda and xda doesn't allows posting url until you r done with 10 posts.
For reference, please check the attached screenshot and app icon image.
If you like it, please rate it 5 stars
:highfive:
use Gallery Lock App .. its the best app with very little ram usage and great features

[APP] Music and Weather Apps pulled from Alcatel One Touch Idol X+(6043D)

Here is the Music Player and Weather App pulled from Alcatel One Touch Idol X+
Links:Music Player: https://app.box.com/s/hlfm9xj3gzkjo0obsurlvqc59t8ltx8e
Weather App: https://app.box.com/s/25pjw50fopc826zcf92yh21ug35sm244
Download and install as normal apk
Both working good.
Music Player has classic look and it is fully compatible with AudioFx.
Hit Thanks if u like my post
If you can extract the sock wallpaper out, that will be fantastic
Thanks ☺
That looks like it belongs in MIUI v4. Thanks for the APKs though.
Thanks for these - definitely feeling that music player!
Anybody knows how to push user apps as system apps? In lollipop, system apps have their own folders with exact names. And also in lollipop, if lockscreen is secure, no user installed music app could show lockscreen controls access. Could anyone advice the proper name for the folder that must be created in order to make it as a system app?

Change it to a system app using Titanium Backup.
Even setting the app as a system app does not work. I placed pandora as a system app and I am still unable to have the app control access from the lockscreen. Any other suggestions?
This is cool. How'd i wish i can use ColorOs Music app in CM ROm as well. but yeah, thanks for this.

I think Album can be downloaded from Google Play Store
Can you please confirm if my comment right ?
It can't be found in Play Store, so you can't install it. If you find it through Play Store on Chrome you can't install it because it is not compatible.
I've got this issue too. I've tried taking the album apk from xperia 5 and it installed on my new 1 ii but force closed whenever I opened it. Does anyone know of a way to get it working? I really miss the old album app
I've got the same problem....would like a Sony video player as well, do they make one?
Look for Sony cross device section and install an universal apk.

Anyone able to install the old album app from xperia 1?

I tried to install the apk file but when I try to open it it crashes. I don't like the Google photos app I prefer the stock Sony one.
I downloaded 'Gallery' off the app store. Seems ok.
I agree with you about Google photos.
Can't they make the original app work!?

it does not support burst shots and shows all the pictures individually because the application is old.

Yes, but I think that is better than google photo.
(In old album, you also can't see screenshot folder)

Thanks,installed this version. It includes the "places" tab bit the program crashes when selected. It is THE most sought feature i'm after, bit for my life I cannot find it.
I hope somebody will find a solution

Here's a version that works (choose the one without "ROM")
Thanks
I use the HTC gallery from m9 lol
I did, but actually, Google Photo is better. The lay-out of the Sony Album app is a bit nicer, I removes it as it didn't have support for bursts.
You can use this.https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...lbum-9-9-a-0-20-updated-9-march-2021.2378816/
