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

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
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?

so i made a moron move and uninstalled the Gallery app with Titanium Backup. I hate using gallery and normally i just hide it in the app drawer, but since that isn't an option any more on this phone (wtf samsung?) I got rid of it. Well now i can't open pictures from the camera app. And i would like to be able to do that. Anybody know how i can reinstall this app and get it back to normal?
thanks
Try this see of it works 4 ya
https://www.dropbox.com/s/m1kudhlxys0u1if/Gallery_1.21.1503.141_1503141754.apk?dl=0
Thanks but unfortunately that didn't work. It says it wants to update a built in app and then stops and says the app is not installed.
Try this it should install with titanium backup

i think we are getting close. i installed that using TB and it said it installed. Gallery is not listed in the app drawer. However when in the camera app, if i press the picture thumbnail to launch gallery it says that the app is disabled. Before it said that it wasn't installed and it dumped me out of the camera app. it would be nice if i could just get this from samsung app store.
Restart device and check in setting and applications make sure not disabled
Yeah its not listed under disabled apps. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Any ideas? Thanks for your help so far!
Clear data and clear cache in phone settings and restart see if that helps
That didn't help. What do you think about flashing the stock rooted rom?
Yes that will be a sure way to get it back
Same thing happened to me. Nothing would restore it. Not even manually changing the priv-app/SecGallery2015 permissions etc
samsung galaxy tab s 8.4 smt705
rooted with twrp
selamba rom
when i open a camera app i get an error message and the app force closes. i ve tried all the clear cache reboot fixes and itll work for awhile, then it stops working again. wondering if the changelog might give someone an idea.
edit- cant post screenshot for some reason. now i understand why a lot of posts dont have screenshots and you cant figure out what the **** theyre talking about.
This sometimes happens with ROMS. All you need to do is download some random camera apps from the Google Play Store. One of them will eventually work!

yeah, thats what ive been doing. open camera 1.34 seems to be working fine. it did get an error message when i first downloaded it, but i had just uninstalled camera fv. after reboot its been opening the camera just fine. i liked the samsung camera but i dont like gallery, so ive got both of those froze. camera/cinema fv light would not work with this selamba rom.
camera and gallery work with each other. if you frozen one, the other one definitely will give a problem. its how samsung wrote the code. its in the framework. camera will search for gallery that it was mean to work with.

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.
