Oh this for the suggestion, I'll try that out.
By chance do you have any opinion on different dialers? Currently on the older version of Oxygen OS I'm running, the dialer is fantastic as it allows you to slide between the four tabs.
It looks like in all of the current dialers you have to manually tap each tab and you can't just slide to navigate...ugh

Sorry, I'm actually a fan of Google's apps here ... I use the Google Dialer and Google Contacts on Lineage, but I do highly recommend that simple gallery app lol
Simple gallery still doesn't solve the problem completely... Stock Google camera still needs Google photos for picture preview after taking it, can't get rid of it for good...

not sure of ANY fix for this, unless you replace the camera - which is why most people get a Pixel to begin with.

I've had the phone for a week now, and really liking it more than I expected. Coming from S4, where I rommed regularly, usually GPE variants, and finding I like the LG OS skin a lot.
A question though: I have the photo preview icon in lower corner of camera set to do Google Photos. I'd rather change it now to the LG Gallery app, but I can't see where to make that change. Tried defaults in settings>apps, but don't see it there either. Any suggestions?
One other issue I'm having is that I can't run google calendar. I've loaded it, removed it, re-installed it, and I get an error every time I try to launch it. Any idea why that is?
Thanks in advance.

Did you try clearing defaults for the google photos app? If I recall, you do it by going settings --> apps --> google+, and clearing defaults there, but I honestly can't recall for sure. Its been a while since I've done it.
Thank you - that did it for the camera issue. I forgot that the photos thing was actually google+.

I know YouTube works, the camera app obviously... But what else? Let's compile a list!
Am I correct that it works with Chrome but not Samsung Internet browser...? Because that makes no sense and made me switch back to Chrome.
The S Pen SDK has not yet been updated to allow 3rd party applications to make use of it, so your list is going to contain mostly Samsung apps.

That's what I thought, but then YouTube and Chrome are compatible... So I was confused. And the lack of Samsung Internet compatibility is mind-boggling.
Oh man, what is Tasker can integrate into the s-pen clicks... Oh man. The possibilities would be literally endless! I'm going to dream on that.
Hey guys just a few quick questions here. Did anyone order the V40 from B&H?
If so I have a few questions about some of the system apps. Mainly does it have the stock lg messaging app or did they ditch that with the international version as well? Does the Google dialer from playstore work on the phone or is it blocked? Yes I know there's a patched version but I'm wondering about the one on Google Play. On the G7 it worked fine. And if someone could posts few screenshots for me that would be swell too. Looking to see settings, dialer and if possible the stock messaging app (if it was included)
Did not come with a LG Messaging app. Is compatible with the Google Dialer and Contacts. Installed both and then uninstalled com.android.contacts to remove the lg dialer and contacts, and everything is working fine. Also have done the same with calculator and clock so I could use more overlays with swift black. Settings look different from the V30, but probably similar to the G7. May attach screenshots later if I remember and have time.

Great thanks for this. How about lg calendar app?
It came with Google Messages (currently running 3.7.052) as the stock messaging app. I don't know about the normal version but the beta of the Google Phone (26.0222117411) app works just fine directly from the store. I've attached dialer and messaging screenshots with personal information cleared out.

Another question for the international one, if that's the B&H one. Can you turn off the camera shutter sound right from the app?
Can someone show me a picture of the theme app open? I want to see something that will be helpful moving forward and let me get a head start on a few things

Well if your taking requests a black out theme would be nice and battery saving....and whatever wallpaper you wannna go with as the creator.
Well I don't take requests per say but I sure do listen to people and try to cater as best I can. I will open a support, communication and feedback thread once I get something done. I've had quite a few people asking for pixel experience light and dark so that will be first followed by something else that I've been tinkering with and possibly an icon pack add on since some people prefer stock icons, with the icon pack they can have the choice

Can you root the BH version?
Sent from my LG-H932 using XDA Labs
Just got my XZ1c today, and I'm pretty happy with it, but it's missing the Photo/Video widget that I've used on my previous Xperia Compacts. Anyone know of a similar widget that I can use?

Are you on the stock rom?
There is a similar widget built into the default Lineage OS gallery.
I'm on the stock rom, and don't plan to root this phone for awhile. The last time I looked for a similar app on the Play Store (I was hoping to use Nova Launcher), I couldn't find anything like it. I had one page in my stock launcher dedicated to the Photo/Video widget.

Try this out:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/linea...ry-1-1-40030-3-android-apk-download/download/
See if you can get the widget working from this gallery app. This is the Lineage OS one I mentioned before.
Thanks! Works, but not like the old one...
The old version would display one picture or video at a time, was scrollable, and clicking on it would take you to that object in the Gallery app. It can be resized to fill the whole page. That's what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help, though!

Happy to help.
My last suggestion would be to look for an older version of the Sony Album app on Apk Mirror.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-mobile-communications/album/album-9-8-a-0-8-release/
Find the version that still has the features and see if it works on Android 9.
No luck so far...
Could it be possible to copy it from Z1c or Z5c? It was a system app.

You might be able to find the same version of the album app on APK mirror that is on the z5c. You should be able to see the version number of the app in the app info page in the settings.
Or try extracting it from the z1 or z5 if you still have them. I am not a developer so I don't know if this will work for you, but I usually use "my apk" from the playstore to create an APK from apps on my phone. Then you can try to install that APK on the XZ1c.
my apk link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andatsoft.myapk.fwa
Awesome, I'll give that a shot. Thank you!
Animated Photo Widget + does the trick!
Hey all,
So I've decided I want to use a different gallery app instead of the Google Photos.
However, after disabling Photos and expecting to get the choice of how to open it from the camera app, it specifically tells me to install Google Photos.
Am I correct to assume it's a hardcoded link?
If so. Is anybody aware of a way around this?
Thing is, I do like the Camera, just not Google Photos..
Try
Gcam mod
It is Google Camera app modded to enable additional features
It has option to use third party gallery apps, although I haven't used that setting.
Try 8.6.xx versions
For me 8.7.xx versions dont work on P7
Yes, camera is HARD CODED to only load that crappy gallery that uploads all your data to gooble.
If you were running a google-free OS, I'd suggest using https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider/releases
Well, that's something...
How stable are those gcam mods?
I mean, I'll give it a go, but it looks like it's supporting up to android 11.
edit:
So I installed a gcam mod, but I can't seem to configure the gallery app to use with it.
Could you point me in the right direction @utk_spartan ?

Android 11 is the minimum version supported not the max.
I can't comment on stability, I don't use Camera much.
See the attached screenshots for enabling 3rd party gallery support in Settings.
Also for versions 8.6.x set interface to P6pro
Wel, it's still asking Google Photos for me, exactly what version are you on?

Strange how I have no issues disabling Google Photo, and then are able to use the camera in any 3rd party gallery-app downloaded from the store.
F-Stop and Piktures works without issues on my Panther.
"Hard coded" as you put it might mean something different for you than others I guess.

That's not what OP is talking about. When you take a picture with the camera, you see the little circular preview? If you tap that, it will load the picture in gooble photos. Not some other application, JUST that one. That connection is hardcoded. The only ways to break it is to either hack the camera application, or create a request forwarder that pretends to be gooble photos.

That was what I assumed he was talking about.
The 'circle' works fine here without Google Photo, but if one want to click the 'Google Photo'-button up top to the left, that doesn't work (since its for.. Google Photo).
Meaning preview should work regardless of device (I'm on Pixel 7, just for clarity).
GCam have however enabled this in the settings, so with GCam downloaded and installed - even the Google Photo-button can be swapped out.
It's funny, it does only work (the mod) when Google Photos is installed.
So that's sub-optimal...
But not the original one @dmbardal , I suspect you're using a mod too. If not, can you show where you set this?
