[Q] MMS camera app choices? Only stock?

Well, this is embarrassing.
Something I just found interesting about (what I assume is) a TW limitation?
When I want to take a picture to attach to an SMS, or attach an old picture to an SMS, I seem to only have the choices of the stock cam and stock gallery apps.
I thought that perhaps I had inadvertently set a default in the first day of ownership (although I don't remember doing so, and I am fastidious about these things), but there were no defaults to clear, either in the MSGing app, or the cam app.
While I find being forced to use the stock gallery for attachment annoying (I like QuickPic far better, for several reasons), not the end of the world.
But I use Vignette almost exclusively for taking pics, and having to close txt app > open vignette > take pic > close vignette > (wait for pic to process) > open txting > attach pic... P.I.T.A.
Am I missing something obvious? It's been quite some time since I used TW stock for any period of time. (On my E4GT I used anything but TW for the last 6 months of ownership...) But even then I still seem to remember TW offering me a choice of installed cams for attachments. Is this a Note II "thing"? Or something in the newer iterations of TW?
Thanks for reading, comrades-in-nerdiness.

There are no defaults to clear in the cam, gallery or messenger. I am literally forced to use the stock cam in attaching a pic to a msg.
Can someone confirm that this is the case on stock for them as well?
Or perhaps confirm that on a different rom its Not the case?
(fu*king spam, thanks for the bump)

I downloaded the quick pic and I get no option to use it when picking a picture from the messaging app. Maybe contact the developer about it.
Edit: actually it might be how the phone software is meant to handle attachments. I installed another gallery app and it doesn't show up either.

thanks, if you're on stock, than I consider the issue confirmed. for stock at least. with gallery.
anyone on any other ROMs can confirm?
(I already assume that anything AOSP does not have the issue, but I am wondering if any TW base ROMs have tweaked something that would allow for other apps to be used as either defaults.)

I've only had the option to use stock camera/gallery on TW.

When choosing to add an attachment if you choose take picture it defaults to the stock camera. But when u chose to attach an image and click on the stock images symbol you get options to choose from different apps. And quickpic pops up fine for me. Just downloaded it since above poster mentioned it.

thanks for that! would never have found that, counter-intuitive! (also, I tend not to attach many images from the gallery, usually take them on the spot.)
(found another cool little thing, if you long press any icon in the attachments menu, takes you to the app properties...)
still hoping to find a way to use a better/different camera app in attachments though. hrm. far more important.

What I hate is when browsing the gallery if you have your dropbox synced to it you don't have an option to share. However I do for my Facebook pictures which is also an online service. So in order to share I have to go to the messaging app and click attach from the dropbox in the attach photo selection I posted above. If you attach directly from dropbox it created a link to visit instead but if you use it from the massaging app it loads up the photo.

[Q] No Gallery [solved]

Hey Guys,
so I got my new HTC One M8 (Vodafone GER).
But I have a problem. I updated it to 4.2.2 / Sense 6.0 but there is no gallery App anymore.
The only picture viewer that I have on the phone is "Google Photo" and it does not show Camera Pictures that I took.
Even if I'm in my camera app and took a photo and try to "click" in the lower right corner, to open gallery app, it doesn't appear.
Nothing happens.
So even searching for it in my app launcher, there is no Gallery (or even "Alben" or "Gallerie").
The only thing I found about this app is going to settings -> apps --> Gallery / "Alben" (Germany u know
I even deleted the app data and the cache. But there is no app anymore.
And yes, camera settings are set to save pictures on phone memory.
If anyone have a idea, that would be great. I tried another gallery app, but nothing happened. I could see whatsapp pictures and downloaded pictures but no camera pics.
Please help
Tanks

Stock device, and updated by OTA?
If so, backup your personal data and try a factory reset. It could be some pre-existing apps or settings is not compatible with the OTA update.

HTC Gallery is also available in Play Store as a standalone app. Try to download it from there. Not sure if 4.4.3 is needed though

Changing defaults

OK, the stock camera is crap it won't auto focus. I have found an app called 'A better camera' and it is great focus not a problem anymore.
My question is, how can I change the default camera app. You know on the lock screen if you launch the camera app from there I want it to use the 3rd party app not the stock one.

Try settings» apps» camera» clear defaults, then do the same for other camera app. See if you get a popup next time that gives you the option

Had a look in settings, everything that says camera has no defaults set. Therefore clear defaults button is not available.

Photos from Google Camera do not show up in Instagram

Hi,
I recently moved to the google camera (using the modded apk, containing HDR+ and 60fps video), however one issue I have found is that the pictures do not show up in any of the Instagram categories other than Other... However, Gallery and other apps like Facebook see them normally.
Oneplus 3
Android 7.1.1 OOS
Rooted with Magisk
Any help would be great,
Thanks

Just check your gallery already!
Different camera apps have different picture saving indexes thus something it doesn't show up .
Just check gallery app

Here's the 'Camera' selection, the ones in the red box are taken with stock. The other ones are with the Google camera.

Here's the Camera collection in Instagram:

It is not showing any of the Google camera pictures.

I have same problem. Photo taken from google camera doesn't appear on instagram.

Same problem on my Redmi Note 4 running LOS with the HDR+ Google Camera.

Scroll all the way down. It's on the bottom for some reason.

No clue haha could be..

So after a huge amount of digging through file details and such, I believe I have found the reason why this happens and how I can show it easily.
The cause is down to the "Profile date/time" within the EXIF of the Google camera photos. It is not correctly set, so apps read it incorrectly. This can be shown in Snapchat, where the date of a photo is from the year 49429 etc. I assume this is because Snapchat does not expect the date to include the day, and therefore it funks up all it's formatting: ht tp://i.imgur.com/CVaV1lc.png (remove space)
F-Stop was the only app I could use to actually find this attribute, and as shown, it displays the incorrect profile date/time. I compared this to my OnePlus 3s stock camera EXIF which did not report any profile/date time, which I assume Snapchat then read the normal date time and passed it correctly htt p://i.imgur.com/xj0sK4N.png
So from here, I believe the APK will need to be changed to correctly report the correct date time in the correct format OR report no "Profile date/time" so that the default date time is read instead. This should then fix all the ordering issues happening with WhatsApp, Snapchat and Instagram.

I've just noted that this version seems to have fixed this issue ht tps://github.com/gladiac1337/gcam

Yes, under Others, but Instagram doesn't recognize them, so I am stuck with only 1 photo. Multi photos is not possible/

Then something is wrong since it works fine in my end and others.

I have the same problem. Had to go to "others" under Instagram to visualize the pictures, and it is still cumbersome to choose as it jumps back to gallery when you go back.

QuickPic app won't play videos

Have quickpic on my Mi a2 lite and it was working fine. Today I took some videos, thumbnails are visible but nothing happens when I press them, video simply doesn't play. I can play them through the Google photos app but not quickpic.... Any ideas why?

Maybe move to another gallery app, like Simple Gallery, then forget QuickPic?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery&hl=en
As far as I know, QuickPic is regarded as being cursed by Cheetah Mobile and highly discouraged by most users. Old version may cause conflicts with Android Pie too such as feature compatibility.

Ok, I'll try that. Thanks
Is that the best gallery app out there?

I can say it's not the best out there (it's subjective), but it does the better job as a gallery app (at least for me and other users who use this app), it's simple to use and it's lightweight. And on top of that, it has no ads (since it's open source app).

Same here. Nothing to do with Pie update coz it's only just started not playing vids. I can open a file in Quicpic using Play with VLC in a drop down but that's a PITA. Wondering how I'd get the same folders that I've set up in a new app. I'll give it a go.

Ok,so its not just me so!!
Its a pity as I quite liked QuickPic. I take quite a few pictures and find I have to rotate some or all of them. In Quickpic,I could just select the ones I wanted to rotate and rotate together. Now with Simple Gallery I have to go into evry single photo and rotate individually....PITA,same with Google photos......Is there any other photo app that allows multi pic rotate?

Perfect. Installed the app and everything is there in folders that I'd previously created. Totally customizable too. Thanks for the link.

You using Simple Gallery?

Simple Gallery Pro. Cost a whopping 59 pence !
Check single or multiple photos and use Rotate from tbe drop down menu (top right) and select whichever version of rotate you want. Extremely customizable app. Great.

Is there a gallery app that can rotate the photo simply by rotating it with your finger like Quick pic?
Honestly, it's the only reason I'm using it. I've disabled its internet access long ago.

Oh, the pro version. I was testing the free version. You're right the price was worth it even just for the finger rotate feature.
