So I think we all can agree that Google Photos is the best gallery app. Only problem is there's no way to disable it and even if we decide to just not use it.
The main issue is that it's linked directly to the camera app as in if I need to view a photo right after I take a snap.. The photo preview icon next to the shutter icon links directly to the Samsung Gallery app.
Is there any way to change this preferably without root !

Has anyone noticed that when viewing your pictures that you took with the moto x camera on your phone you can see the pixels filling in? I don't see this when viewing other pictures I have in my gallery taken with other devices.
Just noticed it only does it when using the stock "gallery" app. When I use the "pictures" app is does not happen.
I have noticed this on other phones running the stock Android gallery app as well. Pictures above a certain size load lazily.
On another note, QuickPic is the bomb. It will do this as well though.

Yes it does, I just tried it. !!
Do you mean that the photo is slightly blurry and then becomes sharper after a second or two? This is just to make the gallery faster. It loads the thumbnail as you swipe through the gallery quickly for speed, and only loads the full image (much clearer and sharper) after you've stopped on a photo for a second or two. If it loaded every photo in full size it would be very slow and you wouldn't be able to swipe as
It is perfectly normal.
I set my default application to view pictures as the google photos app. Is there a way to change this to gallery?

Settings / apps / google photo's app... there should be a "Launch by Defaults" at the bottom you can Clear defaults. Clear it, then you can select the app you want next time you open a picture.
Thank you!
If you click on the pinwheel button at the top of the gallery in certain viewer modes and Google+ is disabled, the gallery app goes out of its mind and deletes your photo, with no confirmation dialog to double-check. Your photo will be gone and unless you root and run a scan through your deleted files, you will not be able to recover it. This bug has been on the Android bug tracker for almost a month now, hopefully they fix it soon.
Hello, I found the stock gallery very unpleasant
for exemple when you want to delete a picture, it take you 2-3 taps
AOSP gallery is really faster, you delete pictures in a blink, and if you miss you can still go back clicking "cancel" button
Don't want to change camera, beacause the stock one is clearly the one with the best results (sharpness, noise, focus...)
So, any way to change the app launcher by touching the little vignette on the corner of the camera app ?
Not anymore. Used to be possible on the first firmwares the phone came with, but they deleted that functionality. It's not possible on the S5, either, so likely a KitKat thing.
You also can't select it in Whatsapp, Facebook and other such apps. Wish we could.... Stock gallery is a nightmare if you have more than 20 pictures. I have about 6000, when I want to select a picture to send in Whatsapp I have exactly 1.2 seconds to select it before the gallery crashes and takes Whatsapp/Facebook with it.
I do have to object to the statement about the camera. FV5, Procapture and Zoom FX take much higher quality pictures.

Will try these apps, thanks, but I'm suspicious, tried a bunch of camera app, the stock sammy app take fastest shoot, more sharp, autofocus faster...
Google camera take worse pictures than stock
That's a shame, gallery of the Google camera is freaking cool
Hi, I've noticed that the Gallery app is slightly different from my S6 in that it includes all pictures on my phone when i click on the Gallery button in Camera app.
Is there anyway to exclude all pictures except for the ones that the camera takes, like in my S6?
It a bit annoying that there is always a meme (from whatsapp group chats) in the bottom corner of the Camera
Same concern here, did you find any solution?
This has been an issue since Note 7 and I have not found any solution yet, except going directly to gallery/albums/camera instead.

I have used "no media" on my N7 to stop advertising pics showing up in gallery back when I had it (yep, advertising pics were showing up in gallery too), but that's really not a solution, since in my case I have tons of media files on my phone and I want them to show as media files, just not inside gallery open from camera. I have not seen advertising pics showing up in S8 gallery, but pictures that I downloaded from internet do show up.
I have the same issue! But with camera app.
I have the same problem on my S8. I don't want them to hide from gallery but at the same time they shouldn't be included in the camera.
I have the same problem, and I haven't found the fix yet. The .nomedia fixes the problem, but it isn't good as a permanent solution.
*Necromancer ⚠*
My Solution is to use Quick Pic! Been using it for years! (even b4 CM purchase. No they didn't molest it) It allows Hiding with or without password.
I give up on Gallery!
Obviously, .nomedia is not a real solution, to this day from Note4 to Note8. It would be nice, if like Open Camera allow an app to be used when clicking "Gallery" icon. I still use OC frequently, but some features are not exposed to 3rd party apps!
I can say it's embarrassing to show pictures &andaccidently swipe. Showing some of my Tumblr saves..
Use ES File Explorer to find the Cache holders and set them to hidden.
.nomedia only works until you clear the app cache and then it's deleted along with it.
If the gallery can't see the folder, it can't display it's contents.
Where are these cache holders?
Google camera app can be installed on LOS 18.1 and yes, indeed: it does take very good photos!
But on the downside, when I tap the just taken picture, it tells me in order to view my photos I need to download another Google photo/gallery app, which will, according to the description, sort my photos automatically and upload it to Google drive. That are two things I surely don't want!
Is there any way to make the Google camera app work with some other, locally installed gallery app?
you can organize and view your photos in any other image manager.
however for the issue of looking at the picture right after it's taken and not be redirected to google photos I dont know the solution.
there are tons of gcam mods (<3).
perhaps one of those managed to change this behaviour
Thanks for the hint about gcam mods! I will try to find a suitable mod for me.
I know I can use any gallery app I want, but I find it annoying that Google want to force my pictures onto their servers, just because I want to use their camera app. Pictures I shoot are nothing that needs to be hidden, but I also don't want them "in the cloud". And I certainly don't want an algorithm made by G to sort my pictures!
