You can disable any of those camera fx apps and they'll be removed from the main camera app. They're listed under "all" in settings > apps

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

[Q] Any way to make Quickpic default camera app?

I'm running stock rooted (with xposed) and I want to freeze / delete the gallery app and replace it with Quickpic. This is easy enough to do, but when I freeze it, if I take a picture with the camera, I can't view the preview from camera app. It gives me an error b/c gallery is frozen. If I switch to full Quickpic app, the pictures are there, I just lose the direct link to preview.
Is there any way to change the default "gallery" app within camera to Quickpic?
Nobody? Is it not possible?
I made a Xposed module for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-samsung-camera-gallery-fix-t2988640

What is a Working Camera+Camcorder App for Marshmallow?

Picked up a Moto X Play for family in Canada.
The Camera interface isn't the most intuitive, was hoping to use Google Camera but every app I seem to use seems to crash when switching from camera to camcorder mode, currently on the March security update for Marshmallow.
Does anyone else have this issue or can recommend a decent camera app as an alternative?
Try Open Camera or Manual Camera.
Yeah open camera is a nice one.The stock camera app is working normal on mine.Try to clean cache of the stock camera app.
Opencamera crashes.
Google Camera 2.7 is actually working, so the problem is with version 3.1 and later... Guess that's why they pulled it from the Play Store
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-7-008-release/
When switching from camera to video camcorder mode, it says 'Can't connect to camera' and crashes the app
Running version 5.1 and its working.Stock mm 6..0.1.
I should try a factory reset if i was you.

Sorry 5.1 of which application would you be referring to?
Google Camera only goes up to 3.2 and Open Camera 1.28.1

Sorry i was mistaken with motorola stock camera app. Maybe google camera is crashing because it cant find a gyroscope sensor which is needed for the 360 pictures.
Looking for a camera app as well; stock Motorola camera is too slow on launch in taking pictures or I itializing video. I've tried clearing data and cache. Google Camera works besides camcorder mode.
I used Open Camera. After installation, the first time I have it hung. Resetting and poked in the settings. In the "interface settings" disabled "show slope" and "show the direction of the compass." As long as such no longer hangs.

Video Camera Failed - Ten Cent (Flashed WW)

Hey guys,
Anyone know why my video recording feature isn't working?
Can take photos fine. Just any of the camera recording stuff just says failed.
Thanks

You have to factory wipe, not sign in to anything when you're first setting up your phone, no Fingerprint, no Google, nothing and when you make it to the home screen, then you can sign in and everything will work as intended. Or use Google camera. Just easier to wipe though.

After skipping all the setup like this, how do you then restore all your apps, settings, etc from another device like you can during setup?
Actually this the problem with Google app... Just uninstall update of Google app to factory version... Check your video recording... If it works then install previous version of google app.. 2 or 3 version before is a good one i think. Recheck your video recording after.

Nope it's actually caused by the voice search function. Just disable voice match setting and video recording works again.
If you want to keep voice recognition on, you can also just install a 3rd party app like open camera.
Same issue, installed OpenCamera and everything works fine. Stock camera app has a big red capture button that when pressed causes a video recording error.

Do you retain features like slo-mo video, portrait mode, etc with OpenCamera (or any 3rd party camera)?
All features in OpenCamera work as far as I can tell.

I just tested OpenCamera, and you lose a lot of functionality by using it instead of the stock camera. To name a few things you lose:
1. You lose the wide angle camera
2. You lose the 48mp option on standard camera
3. You lose slo-mo video
4. You lose portrait photo mode
I tried installing the Pixelmaster apk from Open APK and the install fails. My guess is that is has something to do with the microphone. Still troubleshooting..
install the original ROM?

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.)
