When we click photos using our camera and click the pick icon it opens Google Photos. Is there any way to change it? To open that pic in other gallery?
You can try to go into the "app info" screen for the Photo's app and doing a "Clear Default".
But I'm thinking that Google might have hard coded the link to their own photo's app from within the camera app, so if the above setting doesn't fix it, then I don't think anything can.

Yeah the ''clear default' is greyed out. So maybe yes its hard coded :/
The camera preview doesn't actually take you to another app.
It might leverage code from another app or it might just look like it does.
You probably can't change it without changing the camera app itself.
I think this has been the case for all Android phones I've had.

Is it an option for you to disable the Google photos app?
I think when I did that on my last phone it just didn't do camera previews but the gallery app I had still worked.

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to mod the gmail app so that it allows you to download attachments directly from the app rather than just previews. Also for the Camera app when viewing pictures you have taken, is it possible to mod it so u can change the picture by swiping like in the gallery instead of using the stupid forward and backward arrows? Any devs wanna give it a shot?
The camera thing might be possible... the gmail thing... well, the gmail app is closed source & proprietary....
pretty sure froyo has direct download from gmail
anyone wanna take a crack at modding the camera to do this?

ok heres how it is: apk files emailed show "install"
picture show "download" and 'preview"
unknown doesnt allow anything i dont believe. The attachments are context based on whether you can download. Do you have specific file types you want me to check?

The default photo album for the gallery widget was "Camera Shots." A couple of weeks back I changed it to another photo album for the gallery widget. I forgot how to change it. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks.

Applications-go to the app and "clear defaults". Go and view a pic and use the viewer you want and make sure you check off default.

Go to settings, applications- then go to camera shots. There should be a button near the bottom labeled clear defaults.
Now go back to camera shots and the app should ask you for a gallery at that point to set as a new default.
You are looking to change the default gallery correct?

Well you are looking to change a setting in your applications right? Go to manage applications. Scroll down to the app in question. Another screen should come up with two buttons on top one in the middle and the "clear defaults" button should be close to the bottom-you may need to scroll down a bit.

Ok then go to the other app you are currently using as your 'default' gallery. Clear out that app's defaults as well.
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.

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.
Is there a way to change the default app (Gallery) that is used to view photos from within the stock camera app?
I've had to disable the stock gallery app, because it was causing issues with other apps, and have installed Google Photos. But when I try to view a photo after taking it the camera app says 'Unable to find application to perform this action'.
I can't find any option in the camera app settings.
Thanks.
there's alot of gallery apps on playstore, i suggest to use Simple Gallery app. cuz its clean, simple and ad-free.

Installed but still can't open/view photos from the camera app. I'm thinking that it's something that might be hard coded.

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.
