How to make google photo the default gallery app. I would like to directly access the photo taken from the photo application. Thank you
Dynamically you can't without root. This is because the camera calls from.Samsung gallery. You could probably make a macro with macrodroid to automatically open the image in the photos app with ui

Okay, so I'm having a weird issue on my Nexus 6
I have several camera apps on my phone –*Google Camera, Manual Camera, Camera FV-5, Open Camera, etc.
All of them save their pictures to the same directory (/DCIM/Camera)
For some reason, however, the only photos that my phone "recognizes" as actually being there are the ones taken by the Google Camera app.
What I mean by "recognizes":
If I go to Facebook to post an image, it will only show the ones taken by Google Camera
If I click on the image previews in Google Camera, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
If I browse to the Camera folder using Device Folders in Google Photos, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
Much weirder still, though:
If I click on the image previews in Manual Camera, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
If I click on the image previews in Open Camera, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
I.e., if I take a picture in Manual Camera, then click it's preview icon? It will show me the most recent picture taken in Google Camera.
I know these other images are saving correctly, in the correct directory, as if I browse to it in Solid Explorer, the files are all there and I can open them just fine.
But for some reason, any app that deals in media and not in file-structure won't recognize them as being there unless they were taken in Google Camera
I'm at a loss. I've tried deleting and recreating the directory; same issue. And it's not just one app that does this – any app that I take pictures in, the photos do not show up, unless it was taken with Google Camera.
Help?
Hi there,
When faced with the task of factory resetting my p20 pro, I remembered that I have taken many photos with the apature setting. I want to make sure that I don’t lose the depth information on the photo (the huawei gallery app recognizes that the photo was taken with apature and then let’s you adjust the strength of the bokeh effect and focus point, then saving your results as a new photo). I have some questions about this I was hoping you guys could help me with:
1. As far as I understand, the depth map is encoded into the meta data of the photo - no extra files. Is this correct?
2. Is the depth map a standard or a Huawei own version? Ie. could I reapply the bokeh effect with third party software (not the type that uses a 2d photo, the type that uses the actual depth map)?
3. I back up all my photos to google photos. Is it then enough to wipe the phone with the google photos backup as my only source? Would those photos contain the depth map and if so, how can I then edit the photo using the depth map like in huawei’s gallery app?
4. If not, what are my options to keep the apature photos with the depth map for use after the factory reset?
Many thanks for any help you guys can give!
Most simple thing you could do is to copy one image to PC, then delete the original one from the device and then copy&paste the picture from PC back to the phone gallery and try if aperture (bokeh) works.
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?

Hey everyone,
When I take a photo in Portrait mode, I have the option to adjust the focus after the shot in the Albums app.
Are there any other apps I can use on for mobile and Windows that will allow me to adjust the focus, or is that feature gone when a photo is uploaded (full size) to the cloud for backup?
I'm asking because after a while I want to clean up the photos/videos on my phone to free up space but would still like to go back to some of the older photos every now and then.
Thanks!
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.)
