Hey guys for the life of me I can't figure this out for the droid turbo.
Normally on previous phones if I want to make something default I would look for the stock app, and clear defaults to make another app default, but for the gallery I can't figure it out. I uninstalled the updated motorola gallery and disabled it, and now I want to make quickpic my default. Its driving me nuts. Everything I think could be the default shows its greyed out. Any ideas?

I could be wrong but I believe gallery is part of the camera, can't have one without the other.
But like I say I'm just guessing.

Idk about that one. I use the google camera and have both of the stock camera and gallery turned off. Motorola is the only OEM that I know of that allows u to disable both stock camera and gallery.
Does the Google camera take nice pictures?

I'm using quickpic as my default gallery app without any problems. It worked fine even before I disabled the stock gallery app. What function are you trying to make quickpic the default app?

Are you sharing it from the gallery app or looking for the picture through your email/mms app? I can only reproduce this when trying to attach a picture to an email from the Gmail app, but this screen HAS to pop up because there's multiple file types you can attach to an email.

When i take a picture it saves it to the gallery folder. But if i end up not liking it, it seems that i have to delete it several times just for it actually delete. Am I doing something wrong here? Or is there another way to delete photos taken from the phone?

I will try and find the post, should have saved it... but someone in talking about rooting either their N1 or G1 or something pointed out that if your battery is fully charged, and you run a battery status command(I think adb) it gave a read out of the stats, then if 100% charged, said "your android device is ready for a new adventure" or something to that affect... they also pointed out funny things like this are all over.
Linux seems to full of quirky weirdness like that, I recall CUPS had a message about your printer being on fire

What happens if you delete it, press home, then come back? I think it is possible it is "showing" because it takes some time to not just delete the image, but also clear the cache of the image.
Try this, delete the one time, then hit home, then come back and see if it is still there.

Stock Rom with 2.1update 1 i have the ATT branded n1 that i just got 2 days ago.
and yes i did just do a soft reset and even turned off the phone....still doing the same thing....
But i did notice that if i delete photos off the camera app itself it deletes the first time. Its just when i open pictures from the gallery app i have to delete it over and over until it disappears.....

Perhaps this is just an instance of "touchscreen calibration issues". In other words, the "up event" for your finger press ends up triggering an inch or two below where your finger touched and so it hits the menu softkey instead.
I get this with the keyboard a lot. I'm typing away and suddenly the keyboard goes away like it does when I hit a soft key. It seems to affect some phones more than others and some people's tapping styles more than others. Try making sure your finger lifts straight up vertically rather than on a diagonal towards the direction of the soft keys.
(With respect to why you are able to delete things more easily in other apps - perhaps because the screen is landscape and/or the control to confirm the deletion is more isolated than when you do what you are doing in the video?)
If you watch the video, though, the delete button line itself highlights... I am not sure what the cause is, probably an issue with the base ROM on his phone? Maybe a bad factory flash of sorts... it forgot a 0 at an odd spot that causes it to take three deletes to delete it from the gallery... not sure.

I've had problems where one button highlights and it looks like I successfully pressed it, but just before the menu goes away another button below it highlights ever so briefly. If you didn't see the other button highlight you would have sworn it registered the first button normally.
Given that the soft-keys don't highlight when you select them, if they are the ones that eventually register the touch then you wouldn't see anything different than what happens in that video...
Yeah i thought it was the screen clicking in the different places other than where i put my finger. but doesnt seem like the case. i hit the confirm delete and it hightlighted it and i ddint see any other icons highlighted after i press that....so i dont think it was that. although i did consider that at first.

you mean similar to blackberry when a you can customize a sms, mms, calls, emails, IM, calendar events, and many more items will change colors you set? i tried to find something but didnt look hard enough. i used green for sms, purple for mms, blue for phone calls, light blue for emails, disco (rainbow) for google talk, and white for missed calls on my blackberry. i hope to find something later on because i have a long list of things to add to my phone haha.
Trackball alert may be what you could try.
thanks. i also forgot to say that after exploring my nexus weeks later i found out that mms and sms and google talk and gmail can be have custome ringtone because in settings i only found notification for all and ringtone so i figured each app couldnt have its own sound but i found it in the actuall settings for each app. i think i saw the trackball pulse on most also. took me a while to find it.

I've actually already installed Cyanogenmod before but went back to stock because my battery was acting funny. The trackball customizations is the one thing I miss from it right now. That's why I'm wondering if there's a standalone mod I can install just for trackball customizations.

Ohh, I read the description wrong. It says OR Cyanogenmod. Either way, it still requires a custom rom before using it. I'd like to use the stock rom and use a trackball enhancement on top of it.

Yes, rooted. I don't get any errors. I can open it up, change the settings (what apps I want to use it for and what colors, intervals etc) but there's a "Test Notification" button in each setting and when I click on it the trackball never lights up. And it clearly states when I first open the app that the stock Google roms do not work.

Damn, that sucks.
If Cyanogen was giving you issues, try out MCR (Modaco's non-desire ROM).
In answer to your original question, no, I don't think there is a way without a custom ROM.
Honestly, if I could just find an app that decreased the trackball flashing interval to somnething like 1 second on, 1 second off that would be great. I liked being able to look down at my phone and know right away if I have a notification because Cyanogenmod would make it flash really fast. Not so much with the stock rom.

Hi,
Before I got the SGS2 I had a desire running htc's sense. Back then I had a camera app and a video recorder app, which was nice since I was able to create two icons on the desktop that would open the camera features in either photo or video mode directly.
There seems to be no such option in the touch wiz interface or is it just me who are blind?
One thing I noticed is however, when I use the widgetlocker lock screen I am able to create two shortcuts on the sliders, one for photo and one for video. This gives me exactly what I want, and the funny thing is, when I look in the task manager showing last used apps there is actually a video recorder application showing up.
So.. do any of you know if theres somekind of trick I can do to create such shortcut on the desktop for the video camera or maybe find the hidden application and create some kind of wrapper of some sort. It seems interesting that the developer of widgetlocker apparently is able to launch it directly...
/m
you use the camera app, you slide the setting from camera mode to camcorder one.
The switch is next to the shutter button.
see the red circled are of the photo.

Did you read the question? What I want is a direct launch, just like on the desire or with the widgetlocker lock screen. Also when done via the widgetlocker lock screen the last used apps list (hold home button) shows that the actual videocamera application is in fact present in the system.
Jeeez how ****en rude... Did you read the answer.. There is only the switch in the camera app....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Anyway.. Found a solution on the market, don't know how I could miss that earlier.
Camcorder Shortcut
Cheers!
Please be polite people!
Enemies are not here!
OP, you can also just create a shortcut with any shortcut app if you have them installed. I use "dg QuickCut" for my shortcutting needs.
You will need to create a link to the Camcorder "Activity" , and it has the exact same icon you circled, and it brings you to same camera app Samsung customized, with that toggle switched to the Video mode.
There was a problem with above solution. Since it would launch the camera app in somekind of locked video only mode with the photo/video toggle dimmed. This was not the case when launching the camcorder from widgetlock lockscreen. Also it was still a little bit weird that the tasklist would show something that looked like a samsung stock icon but no app was to be found.
I looked a bit more around and found this info at another forum, and it works perfectly! Also when using this method the icon is the same as seen in the tasklist when using widgetlocker method and the photo/video toggle is not dimmed. Super!
Here is how to do it:
1. install launcher pro from market
2. longpress touchwiz home screen, not launcher pro home screen - add activity -> camera -> camcorder
3. uninstall launcher pro (if you don’t wan’t it) and the created shortcut will remain on your touchwiz home screen

You can use Tasker for this.
create a new task, add an action -> media -> photo.
Set a filename, I like to use date and time (I think %DATE%TIME but double check the help to be sure). Check discrete if you want it to be silent. then save.
go back to home screen, add a widget, tasker, and choose the task you just made.
This is stock CM10 Mms with sliding conversation UI (Hangouts style). I made this because I like the interface of Hangouts but don't like the SMS integration. So, I prefer to have a dedicated SMS app and this is what came about.
Features:
Sliding conversation UI (hangouts style)
Pop-up reply (CM)
Quick reply from notification (CM)
Mark read from notification (CM)
Display who most recent message in conversation list is from
Breathing notification icon (enable in settings)
Contact picture widget regular, small, or gone
This is a work in progress so feel free to report any issues. That said, I've been working on this for a while and everything should run smoothly
Download from play store here (easier for me to detect/fix crashes, but slower updates) or attachment below.
To install:
Copy to device and install normally.

no that is not considered normal. AFAIK it's a bug in the cm messaging app dealing with MMS wake locks. I have an idea how to solve it but it could take a few days. and I can't replicate it which makes testing very difficult. The solution for now is force closing the app.
EDIT: happy to say I pinpointed the source of the battery drain issue and am working on fixing it
Thanks @matt_stang. I too noticed it being top of battery drain list even though wake lock detector and battery setting said it wasn't keeping device awake long. It is my favorite replacement SMS app I have tries so far. Cheers.

for better improvement, when inserting someone's phone number (insert contact info), could you give another tick box for name? that would help me much. thanks.

This app is great. I always wanted the normal messaging app with the hangouts look. You are such a boss.

sweet, downloading now to see it
EDIT: Not really diggin in.. Too much color for me on the "sent" side.. and the 'block' bubble messages is too much as well lol.. Sorry, im VERY minimal.. To give you an idea of how much minimal i am, I use the stock mms app, and then download the Black Infinitum Theme, and that themes the messaging app PERFECT for my taste -- But anywho, to each his own! The idea behind this app is flawless tho! awesome job on it!
Oh my. Archiving messages would be perfect, since I loved it in Hangouts!
Would it be possible to add a speech bubble theme, as well as being able to hide avatars in message threads? Another mms.apk has it, which is perfect, but that one lacks archive function + hamburger menu, something I really wanted.
There is an option to hide avatars both in the main menu and in the thread itself. It's like the first options in settings. I don't mean to be rude, but did you even look before you posted? I use it like that. No avatars to be seen in the app at all.....
Soooo.....
There are a few Stock apps that are not liked by all users.

I sideloaded HTC Gallery and Google Camera (because neither appear in the Play Store on my device). Gallery works great (and also installs Photo Editor) and Google Camera, unlike HTC Camera, still has photosphere, which works with Google Cardboard, as opposed to HTC Camera's only 360 degree "flat" panorama.
Kind of annoyed because they said we could download Gallery from the Play Store. Would be especially annoyed if I was a mainstream user and couldn't sideload it.
And what were they thinking with TouchPal? I just want the normal Sense keyboard back I will say though, I downloaded the light Android L theme and it is loads better than what they give you stock.

Also sideloaded the HTC gallery and everything works except when you go to try and save the photo in Photo Editor after editing it, it says SAVE FILE FAIL.
You have the save problem?
If you have HTC gallery, take a photo then look at it. Can you delete it or switch to the next picture?

No.
@B-Man2005
Its possible to install (http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-co...music-widget-7-0-474487-android-apk-download/) but the widget does not update.

Yes, same thing happens, but that doesn't matter because I usually edit photos with Aviary, not the bare-bones "stock" editor with Gallery.

You are Sure you can delete the picture and swipe to the next when open the gallery from the camera app?
I only got a screen with the image and a "Details" button.
@mdxdave, definitely. Just did it several times without any hitches. It's possible that we're not using the same Gallery app's. Mine is 9.22.668813.
Mhm it's the same version on my phone.. [emoji52]
Did you deactivate Google App before you installed HTC Gallery?
You said sideload.... via adb?
I just installed the apk. So it's not a system App.
I've installed the Google Dialer, but when making a call it always opens up the HTC dialer and calls from there. Any trick to get it to use the Google dialer?

I tried those on S4 Mini (CM12/12.1/13) and they work fine, but those are Sense 7 app.
If you want Sense 8 themed apps download ICE for M8, use ZArhiver or something to open it, and extract all the apps you need. (They cant be installed on 5.1.1 on my M9, parse error, so i cant tell if they work or not)

Swype is the best alternative keyboard I have ever used. Half a day into using HTC10 and I have already switched back to Swype from Touchpal
