[Q] KitKat Photo Editor Unavailable - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't have the option to edit photos using the stock KitKat Photo Editor. Why is this?
When I choose to edit a photo, it only gives me the options to use the photo editing apps I have downloaded, but not the stock KitKat Gallery/Photo Editor. The stock photo editor allows for some nice features that I would like to use.

Turn on Wifi and be connected over it. Then try to edit your photos. It will ask you to edit it with editor. Need to be downloaded, but works only over Wi-Fi.

Turning on WiFi didn't seem to work for me. I just ended up downloading a kitkat gallery app. Annoying but I can live with it. Thanks!
If there are still suggestion I'd love to hear.

How do I get the HTC Sense gallery back?

I downloaded the Vanilla lockscreen and some other vanilla apps. One of them must have set the gallery to "vanilla." Now I get this floaty groups of pictures that tilt when I tilt the phone.
How do I get the stock gallery back?
Juat uninstall the other app..

Thanks for the post, but there is no other app to install. The vanilla gallery is the only app (besides Astro file explorer) that will open pictures by default.
If I download another picture viewer from the market, it does not display in the list of potential apps when clicking on a picture file. For example, if I'm in Astro and I click on a jpg, a little window pops up asking me what program to open it with (since I cleared all my defaults). The only options are Astro and Gallery, regardless of what other apps I have installed.
I do not like the "floaty" Vanilla gallery. It looks messy to me.
Does my question make sense?

[Q] Choosing Default Programs

I get some emails with jpeg files in them. If I want to view them, in K9 it gives a choice to view or save. I can not view because the only two programs that it gives me the choice of are rockplayer and esvideo player. If I save then I can open with picture viewer. Is there to set the default for jpeg files to be the program of my choice?

All defaults are handled from here: [Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage Applications] and you click on the application. Once in you can click "Clear defaults" if any are set.
However, sounds like nothing is set to default cause it is giving you a choice. Not sure where the stock picture viewer is but might try dl a viewer from the market then selecting it as default for those type of files. Should work then.
I'm using K9 as well and pictures open up fine without having to save them.

Most do just ones that jpeg it is recognized as a video rather than a picture. Have a viewer will look to see if it gives me a choice of extensions to choose from. I tried opening it with the native email program and it opened fine just not with K9.

Have you tried Quickpic from the Market? Good pic viewer.
Did you change your gallery default settings?

KitKat Gallery on G3

I have been trying to run stock KitKat gallery on G3. It runs fine however my main reason was to use the photo editor that comes with the gallery app. But every time I try to click on the edit icon (Pencil icon), gallery crashes. Starting from KitKat google split the camera apk and gallery apk so I don't think we need to add certain Lib files for gallery to work.
Since I have also frozen Google+ apk, its gallery app i.e. photos is not available to be used as editor
Could anybody please verify or help get this working? Thanks.

Camera/Gallery Problem

Hey guys. So I'm having a weird problem with my camera/gallery. Whenever I take a picture or video, I'm unable to view it via gallery right away. What I mean is I would take a picture, but I would be unable to view the gallery through the camera app (the bottom right button when using camera). It's just the grey default picture icon for the button and when I press it nothing happens. Also if I were to try to find the picture by manually going to the gallery app, it would still not be there. The picture does save however. I find it by going through DCIM in a file explorer (ES File Explorer). Once I open the picture through ES and choose gallery to open it, I am then able to access the picture through the gallery app. Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing, it's just a weird problem. Any help would be much appreciated on how to fix this.
What I'm currently running right now is:
ARHD 11.1
ElementalX 1.04
S-Off
SuperCid
Current firmware
Also I'm not sure when this problem started happening because I've never really used camera until recently. So I wouldn't know if it's something I flashed recently or what.

[Q] Google photo editor?

I've installed Google Photos but every time I go to edit I get limited options. I'm assuming this is an LG thing. The editor that opens from my Google Photos app in my GPe device. And the options and editing is much nicer.
Anyone notice this or have issue with the default edit options?
I have tried and tried but the only editing functions that work are the crop, rotate. Everything else is there but is non responsive!
If I go into the photo gallery and look at a picture and click the little pencil to "edit" it will bring me to the edit screen but it won't let me do anything within the editor without crashing .

There is an update. It works great.
Yes! I'm not happy about it either. How do you go back? I actually called lg and the guy I spoke with said it maybe the Android software that's caused this. I don't know becaus I deleted Google pbotos, I lost editing options under my galery. When I reinstalled Google photos the editing options came back but still limited. Any idea how to go back to the old way?
If you want to apply more edit to the photos, install Snapseed. The LG stock gallery will open up Snapseed for editing/stuffs.
Not bad I must say.
