[Q] Disabled Google plus? Photos get deleted! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I freeze Google plus, and press the back button from within the camera,l app, my photos get deleted.
Any way to fix this? Seems the stock camera is looking for the Google plus photos app, which deletes the photo since the app is disable.
Thanks in advance.

Don`t think so, foto`s is part of Google+.

There's no way to fix it - they're one and the same I tried doing the same a while ago. As of now I'm just hiding Google+ in my launcher... Photos is too awesome to get rid of

Any way to remove the shortcut for photos from the stock camera app?

Delete google + off the phone and it will go away. I deleted a bunch of Google Apps that I did not want. Hangouts,Google+, amongst others. PLus if anything I would rather download and install then have installed as system app.

Thanks for the reply.
What I don't understand is how this has a different effect than disabling the app via settings.

I suppose since it is a system app and still on the phone.

OK the camera app update fixes this association between the camera and photos.

Missing S Planner APK

Well, the title sorta describes it all. I'm missing the S Planner APK after installing a new ROM.
I think the S Planners actually really good and would like it back, because I use it quite a bit.
Sadly, I can't find it anywhere on the internet. Would anyone be kind enough to upload for me their APK file for it?
Please and thank you.
I think this is what you are looking for...
Thanks for that. Unfortunately it refuses to install. At first it was a conflict with the google calander, and now it just refuses to. I'll probably try and find a way to push it, or manually move it in.

Have you tried to remove google calendar or "force stop", then install?
Do you use Titanium backup? I can prob pull the export back up files and you could try that way?

Yeah I uninstalled it with Root Uninstaller. I don't use titanium backup. I've tried using an adb terminal but they don't seem to work the way they should, and I can't find the one I used before haha.

No, actually. It doesn't. That never occurred to me, and explains a lot. It's a heavily deoxed stock ROM. But I use X-Note Zero Edition. I'll just find the touchwiz launcher from somewhere and use that.
I am not 100 percent sure but the launcher is part of the whole Samsung experience and hooked into the OS though more than just the launcher.

Well, I know that you can't use any of the S Widgets on launchers other than the Touchwiz one - even if TW is installed. The dev of the ROM said that the framework hasn't been touched, and that he only removed all the bloat and themed the ROM. So, it could be that Touchwiz is a prerequisite for the S-Apps. Although, S-Note still works fine.
If you have s note then you should be able to get s planner

Google Android 4.4 apk's

http://goo.gl/Rwk5FO
http://goo.gl/Zfz7mb
(note: velvet.apk is google search, latinimegoogle.apk is keyboard)
These are all taken from the following two URLs:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/3...om-the-nexus-5-dump-search-launcher-and-more/
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...4-4-with-gmail-style-ui-and-a-slide-out-menu/
All of them work for me on CM10.2 11/1 nightly except
-- to get exchange email working disable the old *exchange* under apps before seeing up the new email app.
-- Photosphere also crashes if you try to use it, and my camera FC'd after taking a picture. The new Gallery works great though.
-- Deskclock will not install
-- Voice search (using Google Now) will crash before it brings up a response unless you >> Hold down on homescreen, select settings, select Voice, change the voice (to English - UK for example). (update - better fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46994076#post46994076)
To get Google Home working
To install the new launcher (Google Home), you’ll have to install 3 different apps – Google Play Services 4.0, Google Search, and the Google Home .apk. (Cheers to Phandroid for figuring that out.)

The desk clock works if you disable the current one and then you load the new one as a system app
Edit: it crashes when you set an alarm though

I am not able to the the "Ok Google" to work either. I can go into Google Now and click on the mic and say what I want and that works. Any suggestions?
Update: Got it working now with the OP fix link.
One question though is I thought you would be able to say, "OK Google" from home screen and it will start to do a search. Do I need the 4.4 home screen for this to work?

Most of the big ROM teams are working on 4.4 base now, CM, Slim, probably Paranoid Android etc. It shouldn't be long.

Are you referring to g+photos? I looked there and none of my pics show there. I really don't want them to either. I have no other photo app.

I looked on someone's stock gs3 and they have an app called photos, actually Google photos when you open it but it looks way different than g+photos. I tried to get the app from playstore but it doesn't show up.

I tried the 4.4 google launcher on l.s. 4.2.2. And jb 4.1.2. All is working great with no problems yet. Way cool.

Difference between Gallery app and Photos app? Is it okay to remove Photos app?

After rooting my phone, I like to delete some system apps I never use. I was curious what the difference between the Photos app and Gallery app were? And if it was okay for me to delete the Photos app because I like the Gallery app more and would love to get rid of another app I would barely use.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Photos app only shows the "camera" photos, not all the other photos on your phone. Edit a photo with Snapseed? You won't find it in Photos.

Reset Gallery app as default after camera update

Hi,
I installed the new camera app update but didn't like it so uninstalled the updates on the Play store to get the old camera app back. Thing is, now when I take a picture and click the little preview on the top right corner to see it, it takes me to the Photos app instead of the Gallery app. This wasn't the case before I updated.
Is there any way I can set Gallery back as the default and stop previewing my pictures in Photos?
Thanks.
I'm stock, unrooted btw.
I've never used this but If you go to Settings > Apps then the menu you get "Reset app preferences" select that ( option to cancel or reset) and it says the reset includes "Default applications for actions"
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately that didn't work

I'm afraid that doesn't work either. Thanks for your help though.
Can you see Photos in settings > apps? I thought it was a component of Google+ and clearing the defaults for that may do it.
Disable Photos and Gallery is the only option.

Freeze Google search maybe?
Just my first thought. Or use a different launcher.

Use this app

Easiest solution I've found.
It doesn't get rid of the ring but you can set to launch nothing.
