[Q] Replace Stock Gallery App with Quickpic? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really dislike the default Samsung gallery app and I'm wondering if there's a way to specifically make it so Quickpic can be accessed through the stock camera app by pressing the preview button in the top left corner. Freezing/disabling the Gallery app does NOT prompt you to select a default gallery app when pressing the preview button.
Instead, it prompts this message:
(Because I can't post links to external images, see the first attachment.)
I should probably add that there are no permissions for gallery to open as the default gallery, so that's not the issue. (Quickpic is set as the default).
(Because I can't post links to external images, see the second attachment.)
Is there any possible way to get the stock camera app to use Quickpic as the default gallery? I'm rooted with no custom ROMs, just default TouchWiz.
Thanks in advance!

I'm sure he would've preferred that answer when the last reply in this thread was made.
A year ago.
Please don't revive old, dead threads.

I'm not posting this for the sake of OP, I'm posting it for anybody who asks the same question, gets directed to this topic by google, and gets disappointed by the NO answer - while in reality the answer is YES it's possible.
And by the way I've had the same question several years ago, when I had a Samsung Galaxy S, then again more than a year ago, when I got an S3. Didn't hear about Xposed then, so I just accepted "it's not possible" as an answer. So even a year later, the answer is still relevant and might be useful.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work with my SGS3. From my understanding you should uninstall/freeze the default gallery app and next time you try to open the gallery from the Camera app, the phone should ask which app should be used to view the picture.

I tried freezing. It won"t work either. My problem is getting to albums from the Contacts app, when I need to add a picture to a contact. If I freeze the Gallery there will be no Image option in the Contact Photo window opened for selection of the photo source for a contact. It means I cannot get into my albums for photo selection. And since my contacts photo album is organized by name, I am having hard times when looking for a right photo for my contacts. QuickPic could solve this...
Don"t understand how this so basic and obvious feature is missing in such a complex and long time running on millions devices OS?

I feel your pain, I have similar idea. But maybe the blame is misdirected, the Contacts app comes from Samsung, doesn't it? They made some of their apps too tightly integrated with each other, not giving the user the flexibility to choose the gallery app. I'm planning to try another ROM (e.g. CyanogenMod) to get a look at the pure Android experience.

nice! thx.
Do you need to be rooted to install this in Milestone?
Not sure, I'd guess not.
But you should root anyway, nothing to lose, lots of stuff to gain
Thanx mate...i actually downloaded the 3D gallery from android development page here is xda...cool though accept it doesnt show video thumbnails...

Can we just install and use it straightaway for Milestone?
Do we need to do any advance settings or what?
NO, it works without root.
Out of curiosity, will this work on a rooted Droid running Froyo?
No widget supp ?
If you have root you can put gallery3D in /system/app and give permissions 644. I have it as my default gallery. I've deleted MediaGallery.apk...it's useless for me now
On motorola milestone, there is no gallary widget as default ? Or i dont find it ?

Gallery3D has a widget, i don't remember if default's mediagallery.apk has it or not...
For me, when i hold on the screen, than widget gallery 3d, it just open me the app, nothing alse. I need a widget ( picture ) on all of the screen.
the only widget associated to the gallery is Picture Frame i think. is that what you're looking for?

Yes, i already find it But the user interface, isnt so good
can someone IM me for the Nexus 3D galery apk?
I got my milestone XT701 in China (I live here now) and it is missing loads of stuff you can get in the west.
One of those things is the 3D gallery. the link provided earlier I can actually not access, probably due to the Chinese firewall. Could someone either IM me and send me the apk file i need to install the app, or provide me with alternate links to get the app? (e.g. someone said he got the app from the android development forum, maybe a link to the post containing the appropriate file would work)
While I'm at it, can someone provide me with the application pack for the google market? This too is not available on the Chinese XT701, and it actually does hinder me a lot!
Thx!

[Q] How do you change the default camera app?

I just downloaded a new camera app, how do I make it open when I press the camera button?
What camera app?
Vignette. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it open when I press the camera button. Any ideas?
Ditto for camera 360.
Much better then stock app. It is set as default, but does not really function as the default - and not just the from the button.
Any new info on making another camera app function as the default including the ability to use the dedicated camera button?
If this is not currently possible, would the ability to add this functionality come from an update by the camera app people, or would this be something the devs might work on adding?

I don't know about changing the default app for the camera button, but it's definitely possible to map the button to shutter from within an app. Retro camera has an option to select a hardware key for shutter, I have it working with the camera button.
Sorry to rehash an old thread, but I have the exact same question as the OP and was hoping that someone had found a solution in the last few months.

Can't find this app - looks like it was removed...? Can anyone point me to the app, or suggest an alternative for getting the side cam button to point to a non-stock camera app?
Bump...I still haven't been able to find the button shortcut app anywhere. Could someone who has it post the apk? Or is there another way to remap the camera button now?
To me, that sounds like the current rom doesn't have that option. When I had the MIUI rom, I was able to change the default camera to camera360.

............. why are you bringing up such an old thread again??
I don't see your reply anything of helpful?
because this thread was brought up while I was doing a Google search for changing my camera button default(application shortcut) and it so happens if it wasn't for this thread I may have not known about button shortcut.apk as someone here mentioned then several people here claimed they could not locate. so if someone else google searched the same issue at least they come to a solution. and not just a bunch of people claiming they don't know what to do. who cares if its old you bumped the thread with such a useless post? what's the point in that.

[Q] Full size contact photo in Touchwiz

Hello,
I just got an S4, previously had HTC One X. Now, there is a small issue which is bothering me and I couldn't find any posts about it. When you open up a contact in Touchwiz, it shows a tiny square photo of the person. In Sense, it shows a widescreen photo, which can be expanded into full size once clicked on (please see attached image).
Is there anyway I can get Touchwiz to do the same? Any mods, apps, etc?
Any help would be really appreciated.
You can't do that in the stock contacts app, but you can find an alternate contacts/dialer app in the store. Can't say much more though.

I have been using Rocketdialer from the play store for years now,
it has full screen incoming and outgoing caller id built in with all
kinds of themes and layouts.
Much better than any stock dialer. It even has a call blocker built in too.
It's an all in one contacts/dialer/caller id/call blocker.
It's really excellent
I got it from the playstore.
Give it a try,

Actually one problem is in Google contacts. The dialer app is able to display big photos when you make a call or you have one incoming. When this photos are saved in Google Contacts, are down scaled. So, when you reset the phone or get a new one, the photos are small.
Do you know caller picture's size in S4? Is it 1080*1080 or 720*720?

There's a workaround for this.
Create the contact of the person in 'Phone' and mark the contact of the phone as default (Open contact->menu->mark as default). The hassle though is you re-create it for every contact you have.
I only do this though for frequent callers, and for callers that I have a high resolution pic.

are you talking about Touchwiz camera or AOSP camera? The picasa sign in notifications are from Google+ app, remove/freeze that.
It was the stock photo gallery app with the Samsung S5 SM G900 FD.
It's just called photo gallery. I erased it and replaced it with a different photo app. Now i lost some functions like attaching photos from a text. I need to know how to reinstall it?
Any ideas?

Correct me if I'm wrong but what you're saying is that you have not flashed any custom roms, haven't rooted and yet managed to delete the stock gallery app?
If that is correct go to settings>apps>app manager find your new photo app and click reset/delete defaults
I did root the phone which is why i was able to delete the stock photo app

Ok. Download stock rom, extract camera app from there. If you have CWM/TWRP backups extract camera app from them with winrar or your favourite archiver. It should also work if you download any touchwiz based rom and extract the camera app from there.:good:
Thank you! ! You wouldn't happen to have a link to the stock rom would you?
I didn't back it up with cwm because i was so annoyed by the constant sign in attempts that i thought there's no way i would ever want it back lol! I'm pretty new to this whole thing of tampering with system files and definitely not a guy who knows much about computers so as much info as possible is very much appreciated! !

That sign in prompt is Google+ afaik not camera app. Anyway here's a link to a touchwiz rom for your phone, download it and extract the camera/gallery/photo app from there. Next time remember to always make a backup in recovery, you never know when you might need it :silly: :good:
Great thanks a lot! !?
Strange thing i extracted the system rom from that link you gave me. I can't find the photo gallery app anywhere in it. Can find everything else but that, any ideas where it might be hiding?

OK I found it, it worked, everything back to normal! I used the search tool and it came right up. Thanks again for the help, it sure is interesting to play around with these gadgets! Amazing to see the sheer volume of information that goes into programming one of these things when you actually get to physically see the programming. A world few people will ever get to see.

Yes, the same happened to me last night. I can see it in the settings/apps list. I'm guessing the camera app would need to be updated to get access to the AR Emoji feature as that is how it's accessed on the S9/+.
