[Q] How do I make the 3D Gallery the default?

First and foremost...yes, I have googled and search the xda forum for an answer.
I am running myn warm twopointtwo and I cannot figure out how to make it load the 3d gallery when I click the last picture I took in the camera? The gallery links to the camera just not the other way around.
I have tried every method I have come across to make it work (including adb/root explorer installs). If I rename Gallery3D.apk to HTCAlbum.apk, I get a force close message when I try to get to the gallery from the camera. Hopefully someone can get me going! The only one that got close was I grabbed the Camera/Gallery apk's from a rom...Baked Snack I think...and it got me there but it was the wrong camera app for the evo and I get this weird issue in some of the gallery3d.apk's where there is like 6 columns between the local and picasa albums...that one did that to me. Please help!

Have you tried going into settings > applications then looking for the HTC album app, and then clicking clear defaults? If the camera passes the call as opening a picture instead of directly launching to the HTC gallery as if both programs are hardcoded together, then it should ask you what program to use to open the picture.

Yes, that was one of the suggestions I had found via Google. I did finally get it working. For anybody else who may have this problem (mine was specific to after I download warm twopointtwo due to included apps in rom), I downloaded http:[slash][slash]files.androidspin.com[slash]files[slash]enomther[slash]ROM[slash]TheOfficial_Nexus1_v2.13.2_update.zip (sorry for the crazy address but apparently new accounts can't post links) I renamed /system/app/HTCAlbum.apk to HTCAlbum.apk.original in case I had a problem, and did the same with HTCCamera.apk. I put the Camera.apk and Gallery3D.apk from the Nexus zip file (system\app\Camera.apk) into the /system/app/ folder on my evo. After a reboot the Gallery showed up but no camera in the app drawer, so I went to /system/app/Camera.apk in root explorer and clicked install. Everything works great! Also if anybody else wanted a landscape compatible car dock app, copy CarHomeGoogle.apk and CarHomeLauncher.apk to your /system/app and voila, landscape Car Home app You will still have Car Panel as well of course.

got this working with the Nexus Camera.apk but I want this to work with the HTCCamera.apk I know Im being selfish but damn it I want to use 8MP lol

gallery freeze

sometimes after i open my gallery my epic freezes and I have to pull the batt. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

I'm not a big fan of the Gallery program due to a similar issue. However, mine always seems to pull out of it after a few minutes...
Haven't looked to hard for an alternative yet.
If I run across anything, i'll let you know
edit: for what it's worth, I think it takes longer in my case because it loads ever little pic out there, even stupid phone icons. Maybe your just running in to a laggy startup due to it scanning everything on the phone...

there was a lengthy discussion about the gallery app in the Bonsai thread the other day. some people were thinking the gallery was responsible for bad battery drain in that app..... people chimed in that they really liked the app QuickPic from the market, as an alternative to the stock gallery.
here is roundaout where the discussion took place:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869295&page=414
update: wow, just downloaded QuickPic... you guys should try it, seems way faster than the stock gallery.

Nice find! Just tried out Quickpic and I'll never use the gallery again! This app is great! It even lets me exclude the folders that had a ton of crappy little icons that were causing loading/scanning to take forever.
Thanks!
Now I wonder if I can kill the gallery app and delete it...at the very least I'm sure I could have it killed at startup

yeah no prob., it's pretty awesome! i have the gallery frozen with Titanium Backup for now.... will probably just uninstall if all goes well,

Put a file named .nomedia in folders you want media scanner to exclude. I put it in my clockwork backup directory, and a few other ones to speed media scaner.
It might help keep the gallery from freezing if there isn't so much stuff in it

My gallery worked fine when I had CM6 on my G2.
I have tried CM7 RC1, #7, and #32 or something like that and my gallery doesn't work for any of them.
By doesn't work I mean it fails to scan for media, and there are no photos in the gallery.
I have tried all the media scanners and rescanners on the Market, but they all stop scanning after 1 second, and does not do anything.
Also, when I browse for a picture via file manager and click on it, it takes forever to load, but when it does load, it first shows this weird wallpaper that is from the Cyanogen wallpaper pack for a brief half second then shows the picture i clicked on.
I don't know what's going on. This has been driving me INSANE. All I want to do is just to be able to set my wallpapers. I don't know how to do it without gallery.
Any help at all?
Thanks!

happend to me too, coming from cm6 to cm7... i dont know but after some time and a few reboots all my stuff showed back up in the gallery... well most of it any ways, for some reason a few pics i took with the camera are only showing in the SDcard

The gallery doesn't doesn't scan for media, the media scanner does.
Are you certain that you don't have a file named ".nomedia" (the "." at the start makes it a HIDDEN file) in the directories with the media to scan?

I went to the old gallery the 3d gallery just sucked even before I rooted and flashed cm7 nightly. You are not missing much.
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6

how do i find this .nomedia? if it's hidden?

Latest Cyanogen (7.0.2.), gingerbread camera and other camera apps

Well, I flashed latest Cyanogen mod, but then I found some problems with the phone. I'm not sure if it's really Cyanogen or something else, that's why I'm asking here.
Now, I always liked the default camera that comes with the phone, but this time, I can't find the timer on it. I have checked every single option and - nothing.
I figured that I might try some other camera apps, so far: Camera360, Camera Advance, Camera ZOOM FX and Vignette, they all work fine, but when it comes to saving pictures, nothing happens. I'm using some 3D gallery app, which comes with Cyanogen, I'm not sure what it's called, but it's fairly popular.
Any solution to this?

Appreciate your reasoning but please don't cross post (same question in multiple forums / threads).

You mean the picture is taken ok but are not being saved? Have you used a file manager or pc to check the DCIM folder on the SD Card? This is a very unique issue and not specific to the camera apps or the ROM. Let me know re above.

The Gallery 3D app is native to Android. It won't be responsible for the issues.

Sorry for late reply. Yes, the images are shown in gallery, it just reports location as unknown and when I check SD card (I have checked every folder) there are no pictures (even the newly created folders after I change save path) are not shown.
However, after you mentioned that I should check with file manager, I did so and I can see the pictures. But still, nothing on SD card, so I can't access them. I even tried sharing them on Facebook and sending g to my email then downloading, they show up in the gallery but not on SD card when I access it via PC.
What is causing this? PC issue?

Question Assistance with the Oneplus 9 Pro Photos App

Last week I updated my OP9 Pro to the latest version c61. Everything works fine, but the Photos App is basically useless.
What I mean by this is when I go into the Photos App everything is "blank". When I go into file explorer and go into the DCIM of pictures folders I have I can view the thumbnail and even open up any image and view it, but if I try directly from the Photo's app it's just showing like a blank transparent black box.
I have a 2 part question.
1. Has anyone experienced this before, and if so, how did you fix it? I really don't want to wipe my entire phone because everything else works fine.
By the way I tried clearing cache storage for the app under app info and tried disabling, rebooting my phone and reenabling and no luck.
2. What is a good Photo's/Gallery replacement app to the stock one?
A few features that I would like if possible:
No ads
minimal/simple functionality (I don't really care about extensive photo editing. Really just cropping and flipping photos if necessary)
If you can hide certain gals that a plus, but not necessary
A lot of the replacement gallery/photo apps I have seen have a lot of ads and I don't want to deal with that.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, whilst I've never experienced the issue you have in question 1, have you tried to add an album? When you take a photo on your phone camera does that appear? ( Both in the camera and your gallery) as for an alternative I personally use Google photos as it just works.

Thanks for your response and sorry for the delayed response. It's a really odd glitch.
If I take a picture and open it at that moment it will display fine. Also if I go into a file manager and open it I can view it fine. But if I go into my photos app it's blank. I ended up downloading a couple other photo apps and they open up all my media fine without any issues. It's a really bazaar glitch but seems to only be with the oneplus photo app with the newest c61 update.
I'm not sure if I can remove the stock photo app from my phone because I believe it's a system app and the only option I have is to disable it, but I was thinking of trying to remove it from my phone and reinstalling it from scratch.

did you already clear cache and storage of the app?
maybe you denied a required access right by accident?

Yes I did that and also checked to make sure all proper permissions were granted.

strange.
I mostly use the google photos app. not sure if this is an option for you, but it should check all the marks from the initial post.

Thanks, I should look at it. I'm not sure if google photos backsup your stuff by default, or you can just turn off that feature. I feel like with that feature enabled I would quickly run out of the limited space google gives you as it is so you would be forced to upgrade to get more space.

I think it is turned off by default or at least asks you.
but you can definetly turn the backup off manually.
it gives you 15gb incl. shared between google drive, gmail and photos I think.
for me this is still enough, but I also backup at my home cloud.
