I have a customer that after installing the update a lot of his camera options are missing. The main one is the ability to switch between front and back. It's stuck on front. We tried clearing data and cache and force stopping the camera app. Yea I know that doesn't do much for something like this so we did a factory reset on the device. After the reset it's still missing nearly all his camera options. Anyone have a way to fix this without rooting?

I just tried downloading other camera apps and the option to switch camera mode is missing from every app

I've been messing with my Captivate a lot for the past few weeks, rooted and flashed once I got sick of waiting for an update. I've tried most of the major roms out there and am having a great time learning about it all.
I have a problem and would appreciate some advice on the simplest way to solve it. Whenever I try to enter the image gallery, I get a black screen for a few seconds, then it vibrates a few times and kicks back to the home screen and gives me a failure notification. It does this regardless of what rom I'm running so I'm assuming it has something to do with the file structure on the card? If I data reset, will this fix it?
I looked around but didn't see an apparent answer for this specific issue. Thanks
Try this, download sgs tools from market. Goto uodate stock apps select gallery

Hmmm, I downloaded it and it doesn't seem to do that much. I don't see any options like that for sure. What is that program supposed to do?
After I posted I realized the app I referenced is not on the market.
Have you tried deleting app data
settings, applications, manage, all, gallery, delete data

This is the app I was talking about

wow, thanks! That did it. I just upgraded the stock app and it's fine now. This app looks really useful, what are some of its other uses?
Secret codes gets you into a bunch of useful things
like lbs test mode for gps
the updated gallery you installed is also supposed to help battery somehow.
I do not use it all too much though, but I keep it around

Before you search for a new camera app have you cleared out your camera cache and tried the camera again?
Do the following:
Phone menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All
Scroll to Camera (or whatever the name of the camera app you're using) and click on it
Click on the "Clear cache" button and since you said you haven't done much with it, if you want, click on the "Clear data" though clearing data shouldn't be necessary at this point.
Its tha stock camera app that option was not there

You mean it was greyed out? All apps will have the same options so it'll be there, just probably not available which is also rather odd, imo. When you look at it in the "All" list, what number do you see under the Camera listing? While you're at it, what number do you see under "Camera Firmware"?

After the Verizon OTA JB update (4.1.2), My Gallery will not open. It just says "Error while launching application." The default camera app does the same thing.
Third party apps (LittlePhoto and Camera ZOOM FX) seem to be working fine, and I am looking for a good Gallery app in case I cannot get this fixed.
I tried clearing data/cash for Gallery app. I found somewhere that this was supposed to fix this problem. It didn't.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

i would just wipe data in recovery
you will need to backup, texts, call logs, contacts… if you want to save
how to.. in my list

Really hoping there is an easier way to fix this. Looks like several people have the problem (judging by a google search), but no solutions yet.
Motorola's "My Gallery" was removed by the update and replaced with Google "Gallery" app.
If My Gallery is still listed (and tied to the camera) it sounds like your install didn't install completely or you restored things after the update.
You may want to flash the JB fastboot files, factory reset and reconfigure.
That was it! Looks like the camera app was also replaced. I was using App Manager. It kept the "links" to the old apps in the icon folders. After removing the old camera and gallery icons, and then adding the new ones, everything works fine.
Thanks tcrews!

has been like this for awhile even after a few app updates and clearing app data - every time i try to open either app it auto force closes. i'm on a rooted stock rom with xposed installed
any idea what the problem could be? i've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling both and still get the same results. no problem with any other app either i'm stumped

I can't speak to xposed but I had same problem with Photos and a Prime Layer causing fc. Removed layer and all works as expected. Hope this helps.

have you by chance tried to take a logcat while opening the app to see what the crash is reporting?

Glad I could help out, was same for me, had layers installed for months and bam!
First issues with GHangouts fc then weeks later Photos fc. Photos took much longer to figure out. I tried clear data, reinstall etc.
Hopefully layers will be updated soon to accommodate apk.

Hi my gallery is lagging when i scroll up and down to the point the image arent showing up on the thumbnails
saw another thread that saying that it is due to the bixby remapping app, i indeed had that app before but it was a long time ago
tried to clean system cache and also the gallery cache yet no luck
anyone else have this problem and any solution for this?
edit: went to safe mode tried to open gallery app and scrolling on gallery is smooth, went back on normal boot then all is well..
no idea why this happened

From experience on previous android phones, after every major os upgrade its advisable to perform wipe (factory reset). I did after upgrading to oreo
This solves all weird minor problems such as this
