[Q] My Gallery and Camera fails after JB update. How to fix?

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!

Lollipop Gallery app

Hi Nexus 6 users. Can any of you tell me which gallery app you guys have on your nexus. Also, do you guys have "My files" app as shown in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8TXgCzxEnw

I use the stock Gallery app for most of the things I need, I rarely use Google+ Photos because it always shows the most recent upon opening rather than having individual folders set up for Camera, Screenshots, downloads, cloud backups, etc which I prefer using.
Hearing that the Nexus 6 is going to use G+ Photos by default as the Gallery I have been eyeing "Quickpic" since it emulates the stock Gallery plus a few more features. Plus they have a beta version out now that they are implementing Material Design which is a plus since I was originally going to just consider backing up and restoring the stock Gallery apk from my Nexus 4 over to my Nexus 6.
Keep an eye on QuickPic I say, wait for their stable Material Design update which will be soon and install it, otherwise just backup your Gallery APK and install it over onto the Nexus 6.

Gallery app
The Gallery app can make an easy to moderate using Files set up. Gallery app function can add and install in limited time period for desktop or mobile applications.
Mod edit: Added direct link
Google Play-link

+1 for QuickPic :good:
Great app, looks and feels almost identical to the stock Kit Kat gallery app.

Gallery KK is better in my opinion

all i see is a lot of crying.. the gallery app works on the n6, all you have to do is install it. if you really are bummed about it, you shouldve searched google. btw, here is the gallery apk http://goo.gl/cfB8ak its included in aosp, just not stock.

On stock, is anyone else finding that the "Settings" menu item doesn't work on either this gallery app or the stock "Photos" app:
- On the gallery app I just get a black screen
- On the Photos app it just closes the menu
Weird

Old and dead thread, but since this guy above brought it back to life, I might as well add a bit;
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...droid/gallery3d/settings/GallerySettings.java
Probably the reason the settings activity is blank, is because it is actually an empty file.
*** https://android.googlesource.com/pl...y2/+/deb5910808d7363ca73b44804d89e5b430c03fcb
The code for the settings menu was removed during transition from gallery3d to gallery2 back in 2011.
If you look at the settings.xml file, you can see that the only options you were actually provided with were bogus anyway.

Not knowing where that came from, I certainly wouldn't install it on my phone.
So I forked the source myself, fixed it to build as a standalone with NDK, and posted the source to my github:
https://github.com/lbdroid/android_packages_apps_Gallery2
I did add a binary to the build/ directory of the project, but I still recommend compiling it yourself.
Edit: I just pushed a patch and new build that have the Settings activity stripped out of it. No more annoying people with empty activities.

So far I have found QuickPic is the best!

when I have Google plus installed it won't let me make quick pic by default

Alternatively you can try this apk as well - http://www.mediafire.com/file/jgx38z0gdfa7qox/Moto_Gallery.apk

Thread necro, but not my doing. Anyway try this. Material Design Gallery (Flashable)

Preinstalled apps location

I cannot seem to find some apps within /system/app. For instance, in the application manager there is "T-Mobile My Account" but I cannot find the apk with root explorer. Is there a new method they used to install apps as to not be easily removed? Does anyone know the apk name or location?

Did you check in /data/app? Tmo My Account is in Google Play so maybe its preinstalled as a removable app?

Just use titanium backup to freeze or uninstall them. And, yes I'd say they're hidden.

Yeah, Titanium. But I realized I believe its in /system/priv-app..

Thanks that was the location.
Another issue, whenever the play store is installing or uninstalling an app, the spen double tap to open s memo does not work. I have to have about 15 seconds after google play has finished installing and app before s memo is launched. Anyone know why this is?

Hmm, that might be a new one lol, but I just tried it, letting the store update some apps, and for me the double tap does open memo, but it is delayed by several seconds. Not sure why but maybe it has something to do with the system being mounted or busy or something?

[Q] Google Camera gone?

I went to reinstall Google Camera from the Play Store and it no longer comes up. All that they have is the VR Camera. Does anyone else see this, and does anyone have a zip of the latest Google Camera I can install?

You don't need a zip unless you're putting the camera app into system. Just download a copy from APK Mirror and install. As to the camera on the Play Store, it no longer shows up in searches, which is quite interesting.

Sometimes it doesn't come up in searches for me, but ONLY when I'm on a Custom ROM.
On Stock MMB29V, it shows up just fine.
However, now that you've mentioned it, I just refreshed Play Store, it is gone!
I guess APKMirror is the way to go.
Could this be Google developing a new camera app for us? Or just a glitch?

I did try to manually insert the apk into system, set the correct permissions and for some reason the app won't show up in the latest Beanstalk rom.

Well, it appears that Google may have abandoned the camera app for non-nexus devices. Checking the Google Camera Page on a computer, the only compatible device is my Nexus 6. In addition, one of the requirements on that page is that you have a Nexus device running Android 6.x. I can only speculate at this point, but I don't think the camera not appearing in the Play Store on the device is a glitch.
Based upon the behavior you describe, where the camera app is found on stock but not on a custom ROM, Google must be filtering custom ROMs based upon signature. Does that mean they are creating a new camera app? Unknown, but if they are it likely will only be for the Nexus devices.
