What i was thinking if we could remove the camera app and replace it with Snapphoto to make it the default camera?
Please tell me if this is possible and if the button for the camera on the side of the phone if we can make it be used to activate the SnapPhoto App?
Thanks

If i had to guess yes you can.
Since Snap gives you the option to be set as default.
MOD EDIT: removed instructions
Might wanna wait till someone with more expertise confirms or directs you to correction.
Would you still be able to update SnapPhoto from the Market if you did this?
thanx for the adb code
im going to try it out right now
ok it works find i just made a mistake.
Thanks mikey1022!!

Yeah just like normal
Found a problem.
i made SnapPhoto to the default camera, but when im going to attach to a message and i choose camera and i get unexpected error
any solution?
I remember reading somewhere on the forum if you delete the camera.apk, you wouldn't be able to change your wallpaper & you might lose your pictures app. Are you still able to change the wallpaper & browse your pics?
Sounds like you need to place Camera.apk back in
the Camera app is built in and can not be removed without consequence.
It controls more than just the camera
is there a reason you want to replace it? you can have both at the same time.
I would have to guess....space
Ill go back so dum of me but i didnt back up the apk. so should I just reflash my current blue star 5 theme?
ALWAYS BACKUP EVERYTHING...fyi
If you need I will upload both the apk and odex
why delete the original camera software? just set SnapPhoto as the default camera and it will open when you press the shutter button.
Menu > Settings > Set as default camera
works fine
neoobs, hey my pictures app went away so if you could upload that for me would that include the pictures app with the camera app or could you upload those both please!!!!!
We know that.....why? unless he tells use, we can guess.
It happend, its over, hopefully he learned something out of this
BACKUP.
Plus that/this is also how he/myself learn also.
Taking the easy road at times isn't always fun. Take what this forum is all about. Taking things to their limits one way or another.

+1
Goto
settings/apps
and clear the defaults for the album app
Next time you open a picture you will be asked which app to do it with, choose the one you want and click always.
Quickpic app is and will always be my default picture gallery.

Thanks! I was going the wrong way about it. Have updated .. Is there anyway of changing in the camera app the default picture viewer it opens up with album still? or is that just locked and id need to use a different camera app?

I have exactly the same problem. I've tried to disable the Album app, but then I can't open my pictures from the Camera App. It all worked fine in KitKat - the camera app was lunching the quickpic. Ever since I've updated to Lollipop it looks like Sony is forcing users to use the Album app, not very nice :/

Forcing? No. It is default. Want another one? Root.
Hello everyone, I really hate to bump an old thread, but I'm having this same problem. I sincerely dislike the Album app, so I've been trying to "fool" the Camera app by renaming the QuickPic apk just like the Album apk, with no success until now.
I am, of course, rooted. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Same here. Any possibilities to change the default app, which is opened by the camera app?
Also unable to change from the default Sony Album app to Google Photos. I used to have it set as default but then something changed/updated and now I am unable to change it back. I'm even unable clear defaults for either of the apps as they are not highlighted in App Info etc.
I guess that the default photo viewer is part of the camera app (just a guess), which would explain why you can't change it...
I got the same issue. One solution might be to just use Google's Camera app instead? And disable original camera and album apps. Or would that mess with something else? Like starting camera from camera button/lockscreen?
The Google Camera does work fine with the phone but when you press the camera button outside of the app, it will open the default camera app. Inside the app will just take a picture.

Thanks, but how did you install the fix?
Just follow instruction in the following post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61614006&postcount=7
I uninstalled everything-literally. Works for me. I kept only video editor, timeshift burst, and the analyzer srvice. Opencamera and quickpic for me.
Could you do this for Xperia Z5 Compact?
Hey can somebody recommend me a tool for deodexing on OSX?

The best and easiest solution is to root your phone and remove the Sony album app from system/app folder and install any other app from play store (quickpic is the best). I have been doing this on every Sony phone that I have used till now.
Hi
Seems like Google Photo's is hard coded to be the default picture viewer.
If you install something else you are not prompted to choose the new default as you would expect.
Disabling google photo's and trying to force new default doesn't work either.
Perhaps with future ROM?
Anything anyone achieved without root etc. till now? Thanks.
Reorienting back and recent keys seems like a no go either, what do people do to get round that?
Thanks for any tips already.

Tryna different camera. Counterintuitive? Maybe. Probably. Definitely. But you will get the option that you want.
But this has ALWAYS been the case with HTC. I have installed the HTC camera app on other phones, and it was imperative to have the HTC Gallery app to be able to review the photos after they are taken. I know that it's a different gallery app that we are taking about, but I think have the Camera App is the real issue here. The app defines the default photos app.
I may be wrong, but that's something that I discovered a while back.

You could use a custom rom like leedroid, there you can define your favorite app for pictures and it will launch from the camera.
And you can use custom roms without root.

Still need to unlock the bootloader. I'm sure you know that...but there are still some newbies to the scene.

Sure I know about that, it was just a hint to the right direction.
There are some very good guides for it.
What if you sideload the old Gallery app?
If you want back the old HTC Apps try here

install htc album from apk mirror, then disable the google photos app. It should default to htc album then.
It should but it doesn't, and I don't know why... When I disable google photos and install htc gallery nothing hapens when I try to open photos from camera.
Any fix for this yet?
Would love to see a fix too!
I got around all the little issues with Photos by disabling that app.
Then got "QuickPic" from Google Play and made it Gallery app in it's settings.
Aggravation instantly gone. Works fine without giving an argument about everything.

on our rom you can pick any gallery app as preview album in the camera app.
I've tried many apps as I've never really used Google photos before and had no luck with any. But I've started to like it now. Especially since they added opening straight to albums in the settings.
Hi guys, can anyone tell me what does the setting located immediately under the QR scan setting? All this inside Camera app settings. In English should say something like "Save the original picture too" (I have my phone in Spanish). I have this activated, but no idea what it suppose to do. Thanks!
Hmm for example u edited a photo I think it will save the original photo just if u mess up.

I understand, so it seems more like a gallery setting than a camera one. I will try this to be sure. Thanks
I disabled "Photos" and installed another gallery app but when I take a picture with camera and try to quickly view it it just defaults back to the camera app. I have to go to my app tray, load my gallery program and get into the photo folder to see the picture. As you can imagine this isn't the greatest workflow
I see nothing in the system settings for a default app for gallery and I've never been asked to select one. If I re-enable Photos... it goes right to that from the camera app.
I must be missing something very simple or there must be something wrong??!?!
I'm pretty sure Photos is the OEM photo app for this phone, there is no separate gallery app. You an access device folders when in the Photos app.

I understand that photos is stock. On all other droid phones I've been able to install a different gallery app and have it take over as the system default. I'm looking for how to do that here.
