When in Camera App and i wan't to see the image taken. I'm clicking the small preview square and then the Huawei gallery app opens. I want to change this app to Google Photos app. How to do it?
Setting -> default apps -> gallery
Did you try changing the g photos to default there ?
i have set google photo app as a default but still camera app is opening huawei gallery app. so anoying
It's the same in my P20, I want to do the same but the camera app always opens the Huawei gallery.
It seems like there is no fix for this.
I have the same issue.
No matter if I change the default Gallery app to another 3rd party app, when I tap on the little circular thumbnail from within the Camera app, it launches the Huawei Gallery app.
Has anyone found any solution to this issue ?
I have the same desire. I haven't tried it yet but am thinking I'll need to use a different camera app that allows the setting.
I think only fix is, to use an other Camera , have the same Problem on my Huawei P40 pro

hi, wonder if anyone can help, i hope i dont have to wipe and flash again.
I recently flashed Wicked rom v7 on SSGS4 (SGH-M919), and when flashing I chose to include the google camera app.
I am also using the AOSP lock screen so when I swipe left from the lock screen it goes straight to camera. I was trying different camera apps and setting the default camera that launches from the lock screen, and for all the other cameras I was able to go to app manager and clear the defaults. However, the google camera does not show up in my app manager, so after I set it to the default camera I cannot clear that default, now I am stuck with the google camera as my default.
I tried downloading that app "Default app manager" but it also does not see the google camera app. Tried turning off the AOSP lock screen (from the wicked rom manager) and turning back on, and the google camera is still set as default. also tried searching forums and google but cannot seem to find anything.
Any idea where this default setting is actually stored, like is there a file somewhere either in the app folder or a system folder that stores this setting, that I am able to manually clear?
thanks
OK after much messing around I figured it out, the Camera app is called photosphere.apk because they named it after its new feature. can't figure out how to delete this thread so I'll just post the answer.
using Root Browser for android, I had to go into /system/app, and make a backup copy and then delete Photosphere.apk - that is the app that contains the 4.3 Camera and gallery (and its icon is the gallery icon). then restart the phone, set a new default camera app, then copy photosphere.apk back into the /system/app folder and restart.
Hi there,
I've installed the 'Google Camera' app from the Play Store. But it doesn't seem to come with a default gallery, so I only have the HTC Gallery.
Which is fine, except if you take the special pictures the Google Camera can do like Lens Blur or Photosphere. If I want to view a Photosphere I know have to start the camera, click on the 'review pictures' icon and then swipe till I find it.
Isn't there supposed to be a stock gallery or something with it?
How does this work on the latest Nexus devices and / or google-play-edition devices?
If that 'Google Camera' app comes stock on some devices, there must be a proper way to view the pictures you took with it I assume :S.
when you take a photo it on the z5 and press the preview button it opens the album app and there is lag when you want to open the photo you just took and I believe at present there is no way to simply change the gallery app it opens after you take a photo such as quickpic, is there way to modify the apk or something so that you can change this?
I think you go to settings/apps gallery and then clear defaults next time you will then get a prompt to choose default viewer

Same issue here. Seen this question with the same answer above but it seems after jellybean it's not possible. I've deleted, force stopped, cleared cache's and defaults then reinstalled/reopened and album is still set as the default. Really annoying.
I fear there's no.convenient way to.go. The call of the Album app is hardcoded into the Camera app. Either you take another Camera app with all the downsides or you decompile the Camera apk and search & change the package name. You need root to install the modified app where you would loose the DRM keys for the moment as no root for locked bootloader is available up to now.
After the recent Pie update I noticed that there is no more Google Photos link in Camera app. When I open the fresh photo from within the Camera app, it opens in separate editor.
So the question is:
Can I bring back good old Photos to my camera?
P.S. It's not just that link is missing. If I delete the photo from within this weird new editor, it stays in Photos app.

I had the same problem when I removed the oneplus galley app with the 'system app safe remover' app (Root required) from the playstore. Even with a different camera app. Installing OnePlus Gallery again from the playstore didn't solve he problem.
Tried to remove the DCIM folder by renaming it, I restored the uninstallation with 'system app safe remover' but that didn't solve the problem either. Removing all updates for the oneplus gallery app by "uninstalling' the Oneplus Gallery app from the playstore. It removed all updates but didn't solve it either. What it did fix was flashing the same rom without wiping the userdata. after that it worked again.
Hope it will solve your problem too.
Maybe offtopic: Anyone knows how to uninstall the default oneplus gallery app without breaking the link to the DCIM photo's?
So I have mostly moved away from EMUI, as much as I can anyway, got way to used to Moto/Nokia devices with pure Android... Using Nova Launcher Prime, Google Photo, Google Calendar, Google Calculator, etc. and even though I have set defaults to these apps, like the default Gallery App to Photo in settings, in apps like Facebook when I go to post a picture or something it still is using Gallery to get me to pick the photo.
What do I need to do "fix" this so everything uses Photo? Use adb to disable Gallery (it's about the only thing I can think of I haven't tried)?
I do not think it's possible, I've also uninstalled several apps that come by default on the phone and I tried to use Google photos but according to a thread I follow to disable apps by adb, If the native gallery app is disabled, it would not be possible to access the thumbnail in the camera app. If you find some way to make it work, it would be great to know it too.
@acejavelin I'm with @Frankgefre . It's not only the non-working thumbnails. The Gallery is bound to the camera app. It provides features like adjusting the strengh of the bokeh effect or rendering a 3D-Panorama.
Thanks! Guess I'll just keep things as is.
You can try disabling it by adb, I'm using Google Photos instead of Emui 8 gallery app. Thumbnails works.
After that you can install again gallery app to your user 0. Or try with new user. Then use adb to remove gallery app.
This is basic behavior for the apps like Facebook it needs permission to access the Storage on your phone that includes Gallery and Photos, you can forbid this permission in phone Settings / Apps / Permissions.
