Stock camera --> gallery. Can I change the default app? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

When I try to go to the gallery through the stock camera app (by clicking the photo thumbnail in the bottom corner), it always uses the stock gallery app to view the photos.
How can I change my default to Quickpic? There was no default to reset in the first place, and when I disable the gallery app in the app management page and try again, it just FC's the camera app.

If you are on stock, disabling Gallery means disabling the camera as well.
If you are on any of the 4.4 AOSP ROMs, you can disable and even remove the Gallery application without touching the camera. But even then, after the pic camera will preview the picture in it's own application.
Mostly camera applications come with their own Gallery to be accessed after you take a pic.
So in conclusion, no you can't set any gallery app as default with camera app unless the camera doesn't have it's own gallery, but for everything else you can set QuickPic as a default picture viewer.
no u cant

Gallery from Camera only showing last photo taken

When I go to preview photos after taking a few pictures, (by clicking the gallery circle at the bottom right in the camera) I can only see the LAST picture taken and do not have the ability to swipe to any others. I never had a phone that worked like this and its kinda annoying to have to leave the camera app, then go open the gallery and find latest photos just to preview them, possibly delete them, then have to go BACK into the camera app to retake and repeat jumping between apps..
Is there a setting I have on that's causing this?
This function (or lack of) really just doesn't make any sense.
You need to go reset the default app that's associated. For example, I previously had clicked that preview picture and opened with (and set to default) Google photos, which only shows one picture and does not swipe. I went into google photos and cleared defaults, then went back into the camera app and clicked the preview picture. I then selected gallery and it allows me to swipe through all my pictures.

Camera Gallery Preview Issue

Hi i have an issue with the stock camera app. After taking a photo and clicking on the bottom right thumbnail to view the photo, it either 1)opens the preview of the photo directly which is what i want, or 2)it opens up Google photo gallery. This happens randomly and i have tried to search for some settings to set it permanently to no avail. Does anyone know the issue?
Screenshot attached.
Still having this annoying issue.

Camera/Gallery

I uninstalled the default gallery app and use Simple Gallery. Is there a way to tie the OOS camera to it? When I take a picture the small thumbnail shows up in the circle at lower right, but touching it does nothing, "no photo" pop-up. I have my gallery app set as default on settings.
Not sure if it will help but try installing another gallery app and see what pops up (if anything) when you touch the thumbnail from the camera app.
I have installed a QuickPic gallery (the best gallery app in my opinion) as well as the Open Camera app (used it before on my Samsung Note3 running Resurrection Remix so it kind of installed itself when I connected my google account).
Anyways, not I have a stock camera app opening stock gallery app (when touching the thumbnail) and I have Open Camera app opening the QuickPic, even though the stock gallery is set as default.
I'm thinking the issue may be you uninstalled the stock gallery before changing the defaults and now your camera is still looking for that stock app? It seems some apps can override the system defaults (as is in my case 2 different camera apps opening different gallery apps), and installing another gallery app may bring up the menu where you could choose your default gellery to open from camera app.
Bravo! I dirty flashed the ROM and it works again. Switched default to Simple Gallery, works. Froze OOS gallery, still works! Just need to change it before getting rid of it.
There is a default app in the settings somewhere.

Yeah, settings/apps/default. Just saying you need to set you default app, before uninstalling the system one or it won't switch.

Replacing default Gallery App with Google Photos

I am coming from the GP4, and here's my issue. When I utilize an app such as Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and select a photo it automatically defaults to pulling the photo from the Samsung Gallery. Well, when I had a GP4, it would pull from Google Photos regardless, even if the image wasn't local, it would download it from the server and send. There's no way to change the default galleries app that I know of. Does anyone have a workaround for this? Is it changeable?
There's also the issue of taking a photo or video with the default camera app and if you happen to remove the Samsung Gallery APK through the console, pressing on the preview bubble of the just taken picture or video results in an error popup that there is no gallery app installed even though I have Google Photos installed.
I wish Samsungs version of Android would be more open and not so limited to their "core" apps.
