Launch photos from Camera - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[APP] [Gallery] Quick Pic Gallery

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.

Is this it?

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

[Q] Camera App

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.

Here You Go!
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).

Gallery Sharpness

Is there any way to change the default gallery ? It over sharpens pictures giving them an unrealistic look. Can i download the s5 or note 3 gallery and push them to system app?
Download the Google camera from the playstore. It comes with its own gallery. Pictures look more natural. However it will only be google camera's defult gallery. I just have the gallery on one of my screens for easy access.

Galaxy note 8 ( N950F ) camera app

Hi guys.
I have a problem with note 8 camera app.
in the note 8 camera app, can access to all images and videos in gallery.
in other brands, camera app just can access to images and videos that took by phone camera.
anyone can solve this problem?
or any report to samsung development team?
I'd like a solution to this too
it doesn't make sense for it to show pictures from other folders
You are right, it is annoying
It's so annoying to see what's app and telegram images in there . I agree.

Why not just go to albums and then the camera folder for that?
This seems like a feature, not a bug.

what OP meant was when you're using the camera
the preview circle at the bottom right of the camera app
it does not display pictures taken only from camera app but from every other folder as well
which is not appropriate as pictures coming from whatsapp may sometimes not be suitable while sharing with your friends and they accidentally swiped an extra swipe and the camera app revealed the devil trapped inside you for god knows why you have such/receiving such photos

Question Pixel 7 - Google Camera depends on Google Photos

I recently disabled the Google Photos app as I had no need for it and was bothered by its intrusion. However, when I used my Google Camera and then attempted to edit the shot, I was met with a message that said something to the effect that 'I could not edit my photos with the Google Photos app disabled.'
Is there some way around this without enabling Photos, or do I need to switch to a different camera app? And if the latter, would GCAM give me a comparable photo experience?
I believe you just need to install another photo app but it will not be integrated with the camera app (have to open the pics/vids with the other photo app separately). I've been using xgallery but find the ads a bit too annoying. Will see if I can get the LineageOS's gallery installed (don't know if it's possible.)
