Edit pictures with gallery - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There are no edit function in gallery tab...can someone confirmed that..

Edit how? Wouldn't that be outside the scope of a gallery app?
Edit: oh and confirmed, no edit in stock gallery. ?

Hmm, that's strange. Every device I've owned on Android has had the edit function (even if it asks you to open it with another app)... Have you tried Quickpic?

Yeah, usually the gallery app itself will integrate with edit features...Is it because of lolipop??
I'm sorry as this is the 1st device that i used come with lolipop..lol

Well, I want to say no... I have the Nexus 6 right next to me and I use either Photos or Quickpic and they both have the edit option built in... Maybe the edit functionality in "Gallery" is 100% manufacturer, and not Android related...

Yes they are
On my LG-H815, firmware V10a-EUR-XX in stock gallery there is edit icon, when pressed it opens photo editor, similar to Snapseed

My T-Mobile variant default gallery app has edit function. Open up a particular pic you want to edit and has a pencil with line underneath.
But I prefer google photos to manage my pics.

That pencil IS Google photo. (only when there are other image editor apps installed it will ask what to do).

Incase this is coming up for anybody, I've had this happen on both my G4 phones (one was lost and I had to replace after a year). If this happens to you, you will have to do a factory reset, as others have stated. But there is a way (as of right now 08/20/16), to actually have both work on your phone. When setting up your phone, with email info and google address and such, but make sure you do not enter into the area that states you want google photos with "great" enhancements (which it shouldn't go that far yet). Exit if possible.
- First and foremost (before customizing or adding any apps to your phone), make sure to get into your camera take a photo and click the gallery or the photo that shows up in the circle and click the edit tool. This will prompt you to download the "stock" editor (thru LG G4 phone). Download (first time only). Try out the editor make sure it works.
-Then take another photo, click on the round photo you just took. If you entered an address in the google setup (but not the google photos) you should be able to pick which app to use. You can chose the Google photo app, BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT, to click "just once" and NOT "always", just incase it tries to change your editor again. It should allow you to use the stock LG G4 editor and still store it within the google photos "cloud" as well.
- I always choose which editor every time, I never choose a default "always", since I use other online apps and I want to have those options given to me as well. It's important to NOT update the Google photo/editor if it asks, otherwise it will try and give you the "enhanced" photo edits.....which I can say the editing tool for LG G4 blows the Google editor out of the water. Hope this helps.

I tried this step by step, but after taking a photo, when I go to edit, it goes directly to the google photos editor. It didn't prompt me to download the LG editor.

google + instant upload

Does anybody knows how to delete instant upload picture on the galaxy nexus
It's such a pain in the ass, it took me deleting em off picasa/Google+ and then flashing a new rom.
Edit: This is just what I did in my frustration, might be an easier way that I am unaware of.

Go into G+ and then into Settings and you can disable the instant upload (or just disable it when first setting it up)

Have you tried going into the app and then the photos section, scrolling down to "photos from your phone", long pressing on the photo and then choosing the delete option? Or does that not perform the action you want (it will delete from phone and Google+).
there is no option to delele picture from google + site and if you go in to galery and go to instant uploads setting no option to delete picture.what do i do
That happens when you open the exact same thread two times...

[XAP] [Source] IDswitch

Just picked up a request from the DEV IDEA POOL
danchar4 said:
I have a very simple app request to target unlocked phones. Basically a one button switch between primary LiveID accounts based on sensboston's work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335240
1. Launch app
2. app asks for email address
3. user types in email address or selects email from list of last-used addresses
4. app asks "Are you sure?" with suitable warning
5. app writes selected email address to following regkeys:
Code:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}]
"Email"[email protected]
"User"[email protected]
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production]
"DefaultID"[email protected]
6. app automatically reboots phone
Simple enough, right?

Here it is!
Because I made no test on myself please give me feedback if the registry values get applied
ne0cr0n, unfortunately, "my" method has some important cons (you should list 'em) - after that change you'll be not able to upload pictures to SkyDrive, also some accounts like Twitter will be non-functional I've tried to find some workaround but without success...

but you can revert it back, right?
The new LiveID could be associated to a different market zone, which you could use to buy some apps with your correct credit card infos, then revert back to your main LiveID, and regain all regular functionalities like auto uploads to skydrive, twitter integration, etc.
Am I right?

I'm so sorry but I can't confirm - just never tested this way. I've researched that hack 'cause damn Verizon blocked and deleted my very-very old email ( @verizon.net) what I've used during 11 years, and also as my LiveID email.
Wow dude thanks for writing the app so quickly. What is the etiquette for sharing apps? Are you supposed to share source code too? I don't want to be rude by asking you for the source
I don't use twitter, but I was able to upload a photo to skydrive just fine after swapping LiveID's. Steps:
reset my phone with my own liveID
download bunch of apps from appstore
dev unlock/interop, etc
manually edit registry and change to my wife's LiveID (she has zunepass on her ID which is why I wanted to swap to hers)
reboot phone
take picture
upload to skydrive
login to skydrive app and see that picture is there on *my* skydrive account, not my wife's
So skydrive integration with picture hub/camera obviously stored my liveID and credentials somewhere other than the regkeys I edited. Most likely Twitter is the same way.
I presume the credential data is stored encrypted in some weird GUID key with no obvious pattern. Too bad there is no regmon/procmon tool like on Big windows, otherwise I could figure it out in a few seconds... Although somehow I doubt that you can use provxml to import export those keys to re-write encrypted credentials. That would be a pretty bad exploit.
So I ran IDSwitch and it gave me the error "no root access". Hmm. So I went into WP7 Root tools and switched on "trusted" for the app.
So a pre-requisite for running the app is to have WP7 root tools? I'm kinda new at this so perhaps that is an assumption of any app that is going to do interop/native stuff? In order to get it to work you have to set it to "trusted"?
Anyway the app let me type in the new liveID and rebooted the phone, but upon booting up, it appears that the old LiveID is still there in the 3 registry settings. I ran it a second time and the app remembered the address I typed in so thats cool. BUt again after rebooting, it failed to modify the registry entries.
Can you post up a debug version with some breakpoints or console spew? I could try to attach a debugger on my end (not sure I know how to do that, but I can try to figure it out)

Thanks for the info. I will add a warning and how to use message when launching the app for the first time.

I uploaded the source. Should make things much easier
I tried it on Samsung Focus Mango updated with WP7 Root Tools. Even though it reboots but it does not change the primary id. After reboot when I open the app again, it shows the primary id as the old id and not the id to which I wanted to switch.
Found the bug. I used the content from to current ID textbox not the new ID textbox -.-
I guess nobody tested it or I am getting a different result. Here is what happens :
1. ID A which is primary ID in my Account with No CC.
2. I switch from ID A to ID B. ID B does not have a CC.
3. When I access Marketplace, The region used is according to ID B.
4. Next I Move to buy an App and it asks me to signin with ID A instead of ID B.
5. For free apps, I can easily download it without going to login page ever which is pretty obvious.
Today Evening I will try out to buy app by signing with ID A when it sends me to login page of ID B by first sigining out and then signing again.
Few things I noticed :
1. Facebook, Twitter, Skydrive all was working.
2. It takes a while for the OS to realize the ID is new and hence may take around a minute or more to change marketplace.
3. I downloaded a free app with the swtched id and used it without any issues.
4. I even updated a free App which was bought using the primary ID with the new ID.
5. Email ID A stopped working. It did not show any email nor it gave an error of wrong password which is pretty odd.
My Thoughts :
1. This will be useful for parents who have kids carrying a Windows Phone who do not want to give them credit card access but using this they might buy apps for kids.
2. I still need to test but this will work for IDs which are in same region. For example I have a US id to which if I want to add a CC, the country is fixed and hence I cannot use an Indian CC with it.

Try to reboot after LiveID change.
Just tried it out and it worked. The file was uploaded to Skydrive account of the primary Live id.
Wait... What "primary Live id" and what are you tried? New one or the old one? Have you tried:
- change LiveID to new one
- reboot handsets
- go to pictures hub and share picture to the SkyDrive ?
When I said Primary Live Id I mean the ID with which the phone was configured.
1.Phone configured with ID A
2. Change to ID B using the app, Reboot
3. Upload to Skydrive and it was stored in ID A Skydrive Account.
He-he, it's exactly what I mean by "not working". For example if you change first (original) LiveID email to the new one (as I had to do), you'll be not able to upload pictures to SkyDrive, and can't login to the Twitter account. So please do not confuse people.

Oh Ok I understand now what you said by breaking. The new ID cannot be used for Skydrive or Facebook or Twitter etc in short, anything connected with old Live id.
Basically its not a true switcher and can only be used to buy apps with the new account connected with CC
Hi all
The whole idea of this app is JUST to let you assign an account that will give u the ability to buy apps from marketplace using CC, if your original ID have problem with adding CC information. So it is not to change you ID permanently. You can read my thread if u want. Anyway thanks op for making the app.
I can confirm this works. Just bought an app using a different account and it works. Editing a video on this so will be up in couple of hours.
As promised, Here the link to the video we made http://youtu.be/2H7dr7ZzJZs

[Q] Duo camera on M8 GPe

How do I use the focus effect on the duo camera? Since Google specifically mentions the duo camera I assume this is possible on the GPe too.
You can use it normally, the same way you use it with Sense
How do I change the focus? I only have the standard Google camera app.
After capturing photo with normal camera app go to edit. Their you will find original HTC editor, which is in the M8 non GPE. If not than you might have to clear defaults of the stock editor so you will have option to choose editor.

Don't know. I actually don't own M8. You should check source video. May be it will help you.
Actually it did help me, I had to click edit form the camera, not from the Photos app. Pretty obvious now when I think about it.

Agreed, it's obvious after the fact. What about if you 'share' the file from the stock Photos app? A list of programs generally appears. Is one of them the HTC Photo Edit app that could then be selected? I often use the 'share' button to access Snapseed and VSCO editors.
I'd check myself but my phone hasn't arrived yet.
Thanks
Thank you for posting this as well. Was really sad the HTC ufocus was the only thing I wanted from sense..

Just following up on this: when I use QuickPic to view the photo and then select 'Edit' from the menu, I DO get the option to select HTC Photo Edit. Unfortunately, when I do select it, the app crashes. So, no joy there.

No option to edit photos. What am I missing?

Of course the phone is rooted and I deleted a bunch of nonsense, but I don't have an option to edit photos in the stock gallery app.
I had pixlr express installed and when I touch the edit icon, it launches that app. If an editing app is not installed, I don't get any edit icon.
Anybody know what I'm missing? Perhaps what it was that was deleted, maybe; the apk responsible for editing photos?
Please and thank you.

My friend you have deleted Google+(Or Photos app) that provided you the default editing feature. Reinstall/enable/defrost it and you will again have the stock pic editor back!

Really? Google+? I kept the stock gallery and camera. But google+ is responsible for stock photo editing? Man, Android is weird these days, I'll tell ya. Interesting, I'll look through the folder of deleted apk's and hopefully something looks like what I need. If that's the case however, I'll live without g+ or that silly picasa (or whatever) application.
Thanks!

It's definitely Google+ that gives you the editing option from within the stock gallery. I simply downloaded it from the Play Store and the editing options returned. I them hid G+ from my app drawer since I don't actually use the app.

See, I have the same issue, but google photos takes over the stock editor which was way better than google photos... Then when u uninstall google photos, it takes away the stock lg editor. I cant agree with the above answers, because i use and sell this phone to hundreds of people, several have had the same issue. I dont want google photos editor, just the awesome lg one...

Problem with saved pictures - not showing on gallery

I think its started after the Marshmallow update, when I save picture from chrome its download fine, but not shown on gallery.
When open it after download its show nothing.
The only way to get it shown is to change the name of the picture file (using ES or other file browser app).
Why is that?
There is something to do about that annoying procedure?
Can you elaborate on the process you use for saving the picture from chrome? What are the steps you take for saving it, and where do you save it to?
Any picture, long press, save picture, it saved to 'downloads' directory.
I've notice its happen on long numbers picture names.
On normal picture name there is no problem, the others I must rename it to get it show on gallery.
Very bizarre issue.
Anyone notice this issue and why is it happens? ( not all the time, using the stock gallery and with other viewers as well)

I think it's more of an issue with how chrome saves. Idk. I really want to be able to use the old LG browser they had on the G2 and G3, it was way better than chrome.
