cannot choose gallery after disabling google+ - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

if i disable google+ app, i cannot add pics in tapatalk anymore.
when choosing insert photo, it askes me which app i want to use. i choose Gallery (the second one is Camera). Then second window appears, but there no gallery app. only some useless themes/icons apps and e.g. androvid and camera.. but the gallery app is missing.
when google+ is disabled, i can browse pics through the other gallery app and it opens pics. then when enable google+, gallery app appears again and i can choose another gallery app (which opens Pics (picasa?).
why cant i use the other gallery app, only app related to google+? no default app chosen (i checked).

I am going to take a stab at this one as it closely resembles a problem I had too.
If the photos in the gallery are linked to photos with google; you won't be able to use them that way. Since google plus is responsible for the relationship to the photos app.
Google photos & google plus go together. Disable g+ and photos will probably not function well without it.
If the pictures are stored on your local drive then I'm not sure what the problem is. Try something like a file explorer.

i dont have google+ account... photos are on my device. this is the reason too to disable google+, because it useless for me.

I don't have Google+ and its letting me use Gallery. What ROM are you using? What Gapps are you using?
Its possible that if you're on a custom ROM and using a particular gapps, it removed Gallery2.apk which removes the stock AOSP Gallery.
If you're using stock ROM, then download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radcam.gallery and then it should let you use that app to select the image.

all stock inside...
the gallery app is there, because every pics open there and im using it to browse files (pics/vids).
the problem comes when im disabling google+ app, then i cannot attach pics in tapatalk anymore, because it only let me choose some pointless themes/icons/vid editor... but no any gallery app (cyanogen gallery app is missing)... when enabling google plus, i can choose Pics (=Kuvat) then to browse photos. difficult to explain i need to take some screenshots...
when google+ is enabled

so is it actually google+ which also is used to browse pics?? what is the cyanogen gallery app then? im confused...

I have the same problem with BBM. It crashes if I try to upload a pic with G+ disabled. If enabled, it uses Google photos to browse and I don't like that because it just lists EVERY image I have on my phone memory by date. Sometimes I add or download an image and have to scroll down a long way to find it. No folders, nothing. It's annoying. Any ideas?

Have you tried the app I linked above and see if it displays when Google+ is disabled? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radcam.gallery

It works! I have options! Thanks a lot...

after installing Gallery app (above), and disabling google+, i can attach photos in tapatalk using the just installed gallery app.
however, i cannot choose cyanogen gallery app to attach pics, but i can use it to browse pics and vids.
what is the problem that i cannot choose the cyanogen gallery app but i can use the gallery app just installed?

Yep, uploading to Groups and Events is on my todo list.
Exporting a photo from dropbox to photup, crashes the latter. I've sent you a couple of crash reports.
I like it so far, although i wish i could just upload photos to the predifined "Mobile Uploads" album that the official facebook app uses.
This application has some potential there, keep it up

Difference between "Google Photos", "Google Photos Auto Backup" and "Google+ Photos"

Difference between "Google Photos", "Google Photos Auto Backup" and "Google+ Photos"
Just a simple question that I'm a little surprised hasn't been asked before. When looking at the syncing options (attached screenshot), what is the difference between syncing "Google Photos", "Google Photos Auto Backup" and "Google+ Photos"?
All I want to do with my photos are for them to be backed-up Google+ automatically after I take them on my phone which it is currently doing without an issue. I'm just wondering which one of these 3 options, which all sound pretty redundant, I can uncheck and still have that functionality? I guess my main motivation is to save a little battery life with less syncing.
Anyone know what the differences are? Thanks!

Good question. I noticed this before but didn't think much of it. It does seem pretty redundant.
Well I figured out one of them. Based on what I gathered from http://lifehacker.com/disable-google-photo-sync-to-clean-up-your-gallery-app-1148620893 the only utility "Google Photos" sync provides is for your photos to also be synced to the Gallery app as well.
I don't need my synced photos to show up in Gallery and also in the "Photos" app so I did what they said in the Lifehacker article and unchecked the "Google Photos" sync option and cleared app data in Gallery. Gallery now only displays images on my local storage and auto backup still seems to work fine.
I'm assuming...
Google Photos will sync and restore the photos you have in Google Photos to your phone.
Google Photos Auto Backup will automatically sync your photos to Google Photos. Basically checking that box automates the process of backing up photos on your device for you.
Google+ photos will sync your Google+ photos to your phones gallery.
Anyone correct me if i'm wrong though.

Close. From further testing, I seem to have gotten these results:
Google Photos sync: Google+ photos will sync to your phone's Gallery.
Google Photos Auto Backup: what you said
Google+ Photos: I just unchecked this and did some tests and it seems to do nothing at all. I took a picture and it still automatically backed-up and it still showed up in the "Photos" app. Checked Google+ on my browser and the photo is there too. Does anyone know what this really does?
All and all, I'm pretty happy that I killed 2 syncs that pretty much did nothing for me. Hopefully my phone can run more efficiently.
great question..
I just have Google photos+ ticked and that backs up my photos on the photos app .. shrugs it seems to do exactly the same as auto backup photos
great Google design and coding as always.. clear as mud
"Google Photos" is certainly a part of the old stock Gallery app. If you disable that app, it removes the sync as well. I doubt we will ever see another Nexus/GPe/Silver device with that app anyways.

I believe Google+ just added a feature that will backup ANY photos that you download to your device. I remember seeing that it said it can now back up ALL photos stored anywhere on your device. I know this works because the first couple times I downloaded a photo to my downloads folder, it notified me that it backed it up on Google+. So I believe that is what Google+ Photos does. I know for a fact that all Google Photos does is show your Picasa (synced) pictures in your gallery app. First thing I do is uncheck that and clear data for the gallery app on my phone so I don't see all of them in my gallery. And Google Photos Auto Backup does what it always has, which is back up pictures (and videos) to your Google+ account.

Those same check boxes keep checking themselves, no rhyme or reason. So they sync even though auto backup is off.
Any thoughts as to why all the photo backup boxes would check themselves off?

I got the same problem. Google+ sync also re-checks itself all the time too.
And as an update, it seems that Google has now changed the "Google Photos Auto Backup" sync option to a new "Google+ uploads" sync option. I guess this makes it a little more clearer, a bit.
Google+ Uploads
Anyone here , Google+ Uploads in settings. Do not know what is this needed.

Google photos help !

Hi all
I have an issue with google photos that is doing my head in. Basically when i take a batch of photos i then, when home switch on auto backup and they upload to google photos (great thats what i want !) i can then move them on google photos into albums and view these on all of my nexus devices through the gallery app.
Again all is great apart from one thing, when i go into the gallery app on say my nexus 5, all my photos are there in the albums etc, however i have one album thats called "auto backup" it has about 46 photos all of which appear in other albums but i cant no matter what i do get rid of this one album.
I have signed into google plus on pc and this album does not exist on there for me to delete. I have googled the problem and all the answers tell me to go into google settings and un sync google photos completely. I don't want this i just want this one album to vanish.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
Edit:
Ok i saw that the auto-backup folder holds all the pictures that were backuped from any mobile device from the same account. You cannot delete that folder, as its not really a folder in the original sense. I think its just a "link" to a collection of all automatically backuped pictures. But since these pictures are all in different folders, if you would delete that "folder" the pics would also be deleted in your real folders/albums.
I hope this makes sense for you
So the folder you want to delete is no folder, only a shortcut to see all backuped pics that now are in various other albums.

Yeah, i nearly was afraid of this
Its so difficult for me to tell...i just have too many pics. But before i answered with my last post i double checked on my 2 Nexus devices (5 & 7) and i really looked that way. But with 3000 and more pics its not easy to tell if its exactly that pics.
But ill also recheck this because i also want to know how exactly this photobackup works...
What i also wonder about is why there are all the various backup-options there, i also asked it here a while ago but no answer yet. What i mean is this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Another backup option (Google+ Photo backup) follows if you scroll down on that screen on phone.

Im running Android L on a GS5.
Saving via the "LAUNCH!" button works with unviewed snaps as intended.
The Auto-Catch function does not work. When receiving a snap it opens up snapchat, toasts "wait 15 seconds" then "wait 10 seconds" then "done" then there is a toast or two of SnapCatch getting superuser at the end. It seems like it should work however it doesnt actually save anything into the /sdcard/snapcatch/ folder.
Thanks for the support and awesome app.
bug or something??
is it normal that whenever i recieve a new snap.. it gives me 15.. then 10 seconds and it launch the snapchat app automatically??
can i change this?

This isn't an "issue". It's an exploit that allows it to save the snap. Just gotta be a little patient.

Not all albums/folders showing in Google Photos app?

Hello,
My Google Photos app is only showing the photos taken with the pixel camera in its gallery. If I swipe right, I can choose "Device Folders" and this lets me see photos I've posted from Instagram and any screenshots I've taken. The photos I've downloaded from Chrome or from Facebook are nowhere to be found in the Photos app. Any help? I want to stay away from thrid party photo/gallery apps. Anyone know how to add device folders to the Photos app? I have root btw.

I only have "Camera" "Instagram" and "Screenshots". No other folders are showing
Please understand because I have this same problem. When I download a picture from Facebook it is no in Google photos. NO folder for Facebook is listed. It is NOT in the camera folder.
Usually, if you have images from Facebook or Screenshots they are stored in their respective folders inside of the pictures directory. As mentioned above, in Photos, if you tap on the 3 lines on the upper left of the screen and choose "Device folders" it will show you all images stored locally on your phone. If you suspect Photos is not behaving correctly, you can use the Downloads app to also see images stored on your phone.
Simply launch the app called Downloads. Tap the 3 lines in the upper left (if the menu doesn't open automatically) and choose Images. That will also show all the folders with images on your phone.
This happened to me too. I tried downloading some high resolution images sent to me via email, and although they showed up in my Downloads folder, nothing I did would make them show up in my actual Photos app (under Device Folders or otherwise). If you go to Downloads folder multi-select the photos you want, and click the 3 dots in upper-right, it lets you choose "Upload to Photos" as an option. Though it makes you choose an "Account" (where my gmail address shows). You'd think this would work (since the Photos app logo is alleged where you're 'uploading' these photos to), but this didn't work for me either! Anyone else have any luck? I don't want to take 'screenshots' of these high-res photos as I feel it will reduce the photo quality. Please help!

Same problem on a OnePlus One running Slim7. When I open the Downloads app and select images or video, I get a message that says "Can't load content at the moment."
Any ideas?

Never mind. Cleared data in Download Manager and Media Storage and everything's back to normal.

The folders I want aren't showing up in the list of device folders, so I can't click a cloud icon. That's my issue
