replace gallery in camera preview?

I want to use quickpic as my default gallery and it now is, but the default gallery still launches when in the camera app. Stock galley is nice but don't like the social and dlna integration because they do not work anymore since the apps are frozen. So any way to get it to launch quickpic with the default camera app?
If not what are some good camera apps your recommend?

Ye I wanted this and searched for it..seems it's hardcoded into camera and someone would have to modify it

yup its kinda annoying, maybe if i rename quickpic.apk to gallery.apk it might work.
I also tried a few camera app which all sucked.

No I tried that. It gives you something like application not installed.
Probably because it tries to call a function from quickpic that doesn't exist

QuickSnap is an alright camera app replacement. Made by the devs who made Lightbox (sorta like Instagram), but it's a standalone app. Problem is it has its own preview function that is not tied to the gallery at all, so sharing, uploading, etc. requires actually navigating to your gallery of choice. That part sucks, but otherwise it's better than the stock app (simpler, faster, looks nicer).

hmm its not bad and has a simple UI but does not do video

replace album (default image viewer) with Quickpic?

Is it possible to completely replace stock album app with another app, like Quickpic? i mean, even when reviewing photo from camera app...
thank you

Are you rooted? Just delete Album app. If you want to keep it, but not make it default, try Settings > Apps > default apps. I don't know if there's a photo viewer option, but maybe...

Custom gallery app won't open from the Camera

Hi,
I have disabled Google Photos and installed Simple Gallery app.
Now I have a problem in that when I click on the in-camera "preview" thumbnail (lower right), normally it would've opened Google Photos gallery, however as that is now disabled I expected to open Simple Gallery.
The problem is it doesn't.
I tried to look and reset the "Default gallery app", but there is no such setting.
Is the Nokia Camera app hardwired to only work with Google Photos?
Regards

Question Changing Default Gallery app...

I'm testing alternatives for the MIUI 13 Gallery app, and I have found a few candidates.
BUT even if I set the new gallery app as default in the MIUI 13 settings, when I press the image of a recent shot inside the MIUI Camera app I'm still getting the miui gallery .
How can I change that?
If the gallery is hard-linked with the Camera, it is useless to have another Gallery app because then you will have to deal with both.
P. S. If had root access a might have tried to uninstall the default Gallery app, and hope for the camera app to ask me for another Gallery, but without root I cannot install it or I can freeze it.

Did you try: settings/app management/apps installed/the 3 dots at the top right/management of default apps

Yea you cant really change that as far as i know (even with root). You could however use gcam as your default camera and select the thirdparty gallery app as default to open via gcam. But I know thats not much of a solution.

Question Pixel 7 - Google Camera depends on Google Photos

I recently disabled the Google Photos app as I had no need for it and was bothered by its intrusion. However, when I used my Google Camera and then attempted to edit the shot, I was met with a message that said something to the effect that 'I could not edit my photos with the Google Photos app disabled.'
Is there some way around this without enabling Photos, or do I need to switch to a different camera app? And if the latter, would GCAM give me a comparable photo experience?

I believe you just need to install another photo app but it will not be integrated with the camera app (have to open the pics/vids with the other photo app separately). I've been using xgallery but find the ads a bit too annoying. Will see if I can get the LineageOS's gallery installed (don't know if it's possible.)
