Since the new camera update I've had a bit of problem with the 2 photo's apps - Photos and Gallery.
When I take pics I'm deleting unwanted pics using Photos. But when I go into Gallery the deleted pics are still there. Is this normal?
What default app are you guys using for pics?
This is probably caused by a sync from Photos.
I use QuickPic app for a while.

Are they there in the actual files that you can delete? Or are they in instant upload (in gallery app)
This is why I would like to stick to just one gallery app, but I prefer photos. Unfortunately, I cant set contact photos with "Photos"
EDIT - Also, I would recommend getting used to the photos app, as I have, as Google is looking to make this the default gallery app IMO
These are pics I have taken with the camera. Sometimes I delete the photos straight from the camera app. Sometimes I go into Photos and delete from there. Only thing is that they remain in Gallery App.

Yeah, that makes sense. The Gallery App is whats on your SD, whereas photos is Cloud Based.
Thanks Justin.
I don't know what App is best.
What are you guys using? And why?

I like Photos but I don't use it because I have Google+ disabled. So it's Gallery for me.

If you have the Photos app, opening the Photos section of the Google+ app will automatically bring you to the Photos app.
1) In the Photos app, go to the image you want to delete (or search “autobackup” in the search bar).
2) Select photos by pressing and holding the thumbnail to select; tap multiple thumbnails to select in bulk.
3) Tap the trash can icon at the top right to delete.
You’re all set; Auto Backup photos deleted!
:good:

I use photos because I think Google will soon try to update us to that rahter than gallery, plus I like the editing you can do on photos.
With that said, I still use gallery to delete photos from my SD like screenshots I dont need anymore, and to edit contact photos
Hey
I really dislike the sony album/picture viewer and was wondering how can I change so when I take a picture and click the preview it opens up in quickpic app not the sony album viewer? or any picture I view will open up using the quickpic app?
Thanks

+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.
Couple of issues I have and wondered if someone could help.
The camera function places a huge grey chunk over 1/3 of the screen, with the capture button and settings. Can this be made transparent?
The pre-installws gallery app seems to have no means of separating photos. I've got my WhatsApp media jumbled with the photos I take and the other videos I've taken. Am I being silly or is this just a garbage attempt by Sony to revamp Android? Additionally, how can I change the default app that is opened through the camera, when trying to explore the media.
Thanks all
Renz
Change the resolution to a 16:9 resolution to get rid of the grey side. That's what 4:3 looks like on a 16:9 screen.
You can't change the default app from Sony's own camera. If you want to use photos from a camera app, use the Google camera app.

In album you can change how your photos are displayed, try the folder option from the left menu.
To change the default app,go to apps in the settings and click the app you want and clear default option.

no , you cant change the default gallery app from there. you can only do it by decompiling the apk and changing a line , or with an xposed module . sony camera doesnt give you the option to change the default gallery app that is launched from the sony camera

Hey guys,
Since a couple of days I've start to notice this little 'problem' on my Samsung Galaxy S7 (Android 7.0). For some reason the camera roll is showing ALL my images (and videos) instead of just the pictures that I have taken with my phone. So, WhatsApp images/videos, screenshots, downloaded images, it's all there.
Now, I've read alot about the .nomedia 'solution' to hide/excluse certain albums from showing up in the Gallery, but I don't want that. I like my WhatsApp images/videos etc. being shown in the Gallery application, I just don't want to see them in/on my camera roll.
So, the Gallery application is working just fine, and everything is stored in (pre-located) albums ('Camera', 'Screenshots', 'Twitter' etc.). I've looked at the settings in the Gallery app, but couldn't find anything relevant that would likely be causing this problem. Same goes for the Camera application.
What can be relevant is that I am storing the pictures taken by the Camera on a SD-card.
So, I was wondering if someone could help me. Is this problem related to Nougat? My phone isn't rooted, by the way.
Many thanks in advance! ?
Same problem here... Really annoying
What do you mean by "Camera Roll"?
If you open the "Album" section of the gallery, are you saying ALL images are showing up in the "Camera" album folder? Rather than their individual folders?
Obviously if you choose the "Pictures" tab, it will show all images on the device on the same screen
The "Albums" tab should be showing them in individual folders though

With "Camera Roll" I mean the pictures that can be accessed through the Camera App - when you open the Camera App it's the circular icon placed on the bottom right of the screen (right next to the shutter/camera button).

The camera roll accessed from the camera app just opens the "Pictures" tab of the gallery app, which contains every image on the phone that does not contain a .nomedia file in it's folder
Samsung would have to patch the camera app to open just the "Camera" album folder I assume
But generally you would only use that button in the camera app to view the last few shots you just took, if you want to view a specific folder, open the gallery Albums tab

Could always flash back to MM if it's affecting you that badly
Personally when I want to look at some photos on my phone, I open the gallery app, not the camera app, I use that for taking the photos...
Thanks for all the help and responses, guys! I guess I'll just have to get used to it. Maybe Samsung will patch this in the future. Who knows.
That's a pretty dumb reply, to be honest. It's a camera app. Why would you want to review every downloaded or received image through the camera app? Sure, why don't I just jump off a bridge if I don't like it? It's a ****ty function and I can't blame people for asking if there's a fix. You can keep your "eat it or die" answers to yourself if you don't fancy being helpful.
I guess the question is:
why is the gallery opened when one opens the camera in whatsapp seeing that line of pictures is very irritating.(S5 mini)
Any solution?
This is killing me. Such a silly system by Samsung.

If you don't want your WhatsApp (or any other App for that matter) images to be shown between the rest of your Gallery images, you have to install and use a File Manager, navigate to the WhatsApp images folder and 'hide' this folder. Normally you can also hide a folder by creating a new file in that folder named ' .nomedia' like noted by Detection. The WhatsApp images folder is normally located at: 'Internal Storage' (or sdcard) > 'WhatsApp' > 'Media' > 'WhatsApp Images'. This way the gallery won't show your WhatsApp images anymore but WhatsApp will still show his own images. I hope I am correct with this info and this helps some of you.
Hi guys,
I asked to add this option (open last media in camera folder when gallery is called from camera app) in this camera mod app. Maybe you could increase the importance/priority of the request showing your interest on this feature in the mod post.
I'm trying the @martin.delbi method: should be a good workaround, but you should do it for all the folders with media you have in your storage/sd without .nomedia file that you do not want to show in Gallery.
I've tried this solution and realized it's not what I actually want since other apps don't even see those folders too. How do I undo it? I've deleted the .nomedia files I created and I still can't see the album. Thanks
unable to view watsapp status in myfile folder in samsung j7 max.
kindly help to resolve the problem

I totally agree. It's ridiculous that every photo or media file is right there after you take a picture, if you downloaded something or if someone sent you something in a text or you have something risque in a totally different directory on an SD card and it's dated just before that photo, BOOM! It's right there for your mom to see next to the family pics.
Can you change the default viewer that gets activated from the camera app?
Is there another camera app that does not have this problem?
The "camera roll" or the the icon from the camera app should ONLY show recent pictures in the DCIM/camera directory. PERIOD.

You can go into Gallery, go to Albums Tab, touch the three dots, there's a Hide or Unhide Albums. You can hide most albums, except for a few including Camera, Screenshots, Downloads, and Pictures (at least on my phone). The newest picture still seems to come up in the camera circle preview pane, and shows up for a second when you click the gallery circle from the camera app, but if it's in a hidden directory disappears. If you latest media file is in the camera directory, you don't have this problem.
Hello, since few weeks, when i take a picture i'm not able to open it with Galery application. And when i open my Galery i don't see m'y new picture. How solve this problem?
Sorry my english is not good.
Has your Gallery lost its Storage Access permissions? Long press on the gallery app and check app info. There you will see what permissions are granted. You can also clear the cache to see if that fixes it.
