Hi I deleted the stock android photo gallery app because it was annoying me with repeated sign in attempts to picassa.
However now i can't attach photos to a text message or review a photo i just took when in camera.
How can I reinstall the factory photo gallery for the Samsung s5?
Thanks!!

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! !
Thanks! !

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.

So I installed Cyanogen's 6.1 RC1 ROM the other day and now my Gallery is all messed up. When viewing the gallery it shows the pictures, but I see multiple "Camera" pictures showing up in the "Download" folder?
Now here's the thing though, when i view these pictures in the download folder at first the look like a certain picture - but when you actually select the picture to view it turns out to be a totally different picture?! WTF!?
Anyone else having this issue? I need to resolve it ASAP... I tried going back to the stock ROM but i'm still having the same issue with the Gallery. HELP!
Report the issue so it can be logged in the cyanogen thread.

Hhmmm I installed Paul's ROM today and it looks like it resolved the issue... I even reverted back to the stock ROM and the Gallery was all good!
I'm just glad to have my Gallery up and working again, but thanks for the suggestion bro!
Nevermind my Gallery is stilled messed up, what the hell is goin on here!?

Hello guys,
I'm new to this site so 'Hello Everybody'
I discovered a very annoying thing in my phone's Gallery.Every photo taken or already toke is unclear,blurry.When i click on the photos to enlarge it becomes sharp and clear,everything fine,but as long as i overview the photos all of them are blurry.Even photos taken with another Camera program. I attach 3 Screenshots to show what i exactly talking about.
Please help me guys
They're just thumbnails. As long as the pictures show correctly when you view the full picture, it's perfectly normal.
Oh, and for the next time, ask questions in the Q&A forum. It's there for a reason, you know.

Thank you very much for the fast reply and sorry for posting to the wrong place.
But anyway this can be caused because of the os? Bug or somethin? Is there any chance the new 4.2.2 update fixes this? because i had a G note before the S3 and i didnt met this blurry thumbnail thing?
i just checked my gallery and my thumbnails are almost as clear as the enlarged pic,. know this sounds dumb but have you tried setting another system font

You mean Settings/Display/Font Style? If you mean this yes i've changed it to Choco cooky,but i changed back to default and no change.
Btw i have downloaded QuickPick from Google store and the thumbnails are clear.I don't understand this..

Use a file explorer that can show hidden files, then go to sdcard/DCIM/ and delete the .thumbnails folder... reboot, then open the gallery - the thumbnails will then all be rebuilt. Might take a while depending on how many photos you have.
Then see if they're still blurry!

What ROM you using? Have you installed any gallery mods (like maybe the one from the S4 apps)?
Try cleaning your camera lens, lol.

On this week i rooted the phone with odin for avast anti thieft then i reinstalled the stock 4.1.2 with Kies.Device status is normal.Can this cause the problem?Personally i don't think this maneuver can affect the Gallery thumbnails,but i'm far away from a phone expert.

Problem resolved . I have been unrooted the phone. Now it's back to stock firmware with valid warranty. Blurry images has been disappeared from the Gallery. Thanks for the replys anyway
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!
Nope

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.

Your two options are: Get another gallery app, from the play store, or get another ROM.
Possibly another camera app, some come with their own galleries.

As we know, this device comes with a "brilliant" feature called image stabilisation. You can turn this function off in the camera app. But somehow in Instagram it still remains active. Not only does it crop the images and videos, but it also makes the quality worse. My phone is rooted and I tried to use root explorer to find an .xml file in which I can turn the stabilisation compeletely off. I had no luck, and I have no idea how to fix this problem. Can you please help me? It's really annoying...
Other apps like Facebook, Snapchat don't have this problem.
Thanks in advance
did you try disabling the image stabilisation ,uninstall instagram and install it again?
