My Evo 3D always started the standard Camera when I pressed the dedicated shutter button. Now I installed Camera Effects, and it starts that one instead of the HTC Camera.
Normally, I have a choice which one I want to start, and I can choose a standard one. But this time, it just picked Camera Effects...
I already went to the app, to disable the 'standard' features, but the button was greyed out.
How do I get the HTC Amaze camera back as default camera?
Go to manage applications and wipe that apps defaults.

As I said, the button is greyed out...
I am using MikRunny 1.01, but that shouldn't be the problem.

Check the main(stock) camera app in Manage applications and CLEAR THE DEFAULTS.
Do the same in any other camera app you may have installed. Clear defaults.
Then when you press the camera button, it should ask which youd like to execute by default.
Its the same idea as if you had multiple browsers installed, for example on my nexus s. I press the browser icon in the launcher dock and it will ask me which to launch and whether I want to set it as default.
It normally asks me wether I want to make the app standard or not, but this time, I didn't.
All the defaults are already cleared, so I don't know what to do...
Sometimes it starts the normal camera app, but when I do it again, it opens Camera Effects... It's very odd...
Hmm, that's weird. I installed Default App manager, and it tells me that I don't have a default app set for the Camera.
So now I fixed it by making the Camera as default, via the Default App Manager.
This thread can be closed!
Thanks for the help!
Edit: Nope, can't be closed.
Still not fixed.
Camera is now default app, but it stÃll starts the other app...
I guess I'll just delete it.
Figured I'd post this here. Worked perfectly for me.

K, i'm aware there's a old post on this but no one's updated it in seven months. So here's the question again: why is my camera app so slow to launch? And how can I fix it?
I am running rooted stock 2.1-update1.
Baseband 2.1.55.
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #1.
Build 2.1.1.A.0.6
I've turfed much of the bloatware. Does anyone have any (effective, proven) suggestions for speeding up the launching of the stock camera application from the hardware button? Its even slow if the program is running and i've just switched to the homescreen.
Thanks in advance!
Simon
How long? Have you compared it to another camera app? Like a Camera 360 or a Retro Camera or Vignette?
And have you tried installing a Task Manager to see what other apps are running in the background?
Maybe there are a dozen other apps running in the background.
Maybe try clearing cache for the Camera app....go under Settings->Applications and look for the Camera app.

I meant vs opening any other app on the device.
Just task killed - 105m free. pressing hardware button. 10 seconds.
Put camera in the task killer ignore list, cleared the cache, launched went into settings and fixed 'em. out to home screen. hit hardware button. its still almost 10 seconds to launch a native OS app. Conversely, my phone app launches within about 2/3rds of a second from pressing the touchscreen button.
On a whim, i put the camera button on the homescreen. still slightly slow, but faster than the hardware button - does that make any sense? is there some other task i should be ignoring for faster HW button access?
annoyed.
So it is normal when accessed using the Camera app icon in the app list, but the HW camera button on the side is slow.
I think the default Camera app is a lot weaker than Camera360, so I don't use it.
I don't use the camera button.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
There was a stock X10 camera optimization thread a while back.
what he said
you should try installing WolfBreaks rom. for me the native camera launches in 3-4second when i press the hardware button.
Hello guys, I have a few questions.
1. How do I make my gallery display only media that's on the phone? Right now it displays my Google+ pictures as well, and it puts them in different folders. So, my gallery is full of folders.
2. I've enabled "Force GPU rendering" and everything runs a lot smoother, including games. Is this going to destroy my battery life? (online search not conclusive)
3. Is there a mod for the home button (physical) to change it's functionality? It would be great if it could be used for accessing the task switcher. (tap not hold). Or even double tap, since I don't use S-Voice.
Thanks.

1) use quickpic. or, disable sync gallery for google+, then go to setting, application, all, gallery, wipe data/cache for gallery.
2) not.
3) only happen in custom rom. if dev support it. never in stock rom.

Thanks. I had disabled Google Photos Sync, from the Accounts and Sync settings, but they stayed, however, the "clear data" did the trick. I am very grateful.
Thanks again, I love XDA :good:
Quick question, i use handcent for messages and usually use quickpic for any gallery type features. Both are working fine as normal except if someone sends me a picture message. I can see the message fine within handcent but if i touch it to enlarge and want to use quickpic to see it i get a message in red saying load failed. If i touch the pic in handcent and use normal gallery to open it it does so fine. If i then save the picture and open quickpic normally the pic will load fine. Its just quickpic doesnt seem to work with handcent on this phone.
Anyone else using both apps and having any trouble? Its been fine using them both on my desire hd and my GS2. Just not on this phone.
Same thing happens on my wife's phone using those same 2 apps. Never did that on her old rezound phone. Any solution yet?

Hoping someone knows?
I have the S4 and although Handcent comes up as an option to view pics and vids, my phone always default to
the stock Gallery. If I disable Gallery, nothing opens.

Go to App Manager > Gallery instead of disabling it try clearing Gallery Defaults then when you try to display a picture in messaging you should get the various options to choose from

Darn! I thought, you had it!! Since I've never chosen the Gallery as my Default, the option to Clear was grayed out.
Thanks for a good thought!
I can't figure if it's a phone compatibility or Handcent but, I've always used QuickPic with Handcent.
Mainly, I like the auto Full brightness setting QuickPic offers.
Hi, I want to ask is there a way to change the camera button function? I mean, instead of opening default camera app, I want it to open camera zoom fx. I tried making it the default camera app but when I click on the camera button, it didn't ask which app should be the main app. I tried freezing the default camera app with titanium backup and it worked but the camera button won't work when the screen is locked.
Edit: I made a mistake unknowingly creating this thread here, I mean this in Xperia S Q&A forum. Can someone move it please? Or should I make another thread there? Thanks
check the settings> applications> all> choose the default camera sony> clear default
hopefully this can help you
Thanks for your reply, I'll get back to you later when I get my phone back from SC.
Hello, I picked up my device and upgraded to 12.5.5 EU rom with regular OTA. Couple of questions where I couldn't find answers with Google.
1. Stock camera app does not remember the setting for 4K30 in Video settings. I select 4K30 but next time I open the app the setting goes back to 1080p30. Anyone has this issue?
2. Is there a way to set Google Photos as default photo app in stock camera app instead of Gallery?
3. I use app drawer but the phone keeps adding newly installed apps to the home screen. There was a toggle for this but couldn't find it in settings. Any ideas?
So far seems like a nice device. Good size and lightweight. I will install BSG Gcam on it but I still would like to use Stock camera for videos.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Also make sure battery optimization is on and app not allowed to run in background (unless needed of course). Some apps/processes are also called by other apps. Ultimately root is the way to go if you want full control.
Hello, manisa 236!
First I want to apologize for my English. I am still learning it. In this post I will try to answer some of your questions.
1. Stock camera app does not remember the setting for 4K30 in Video settings. I select 4K30 but next time I open the app the setting goes back to 1080p30. Anyone has this issue?
Open the stock camera app and go to settings, scroll down and activate "Save previous mode" slider.
2. Is there a way to set Google Photos as default photo app in stock camera app instead of Gallery?
I don't know it that is possible.
3. I use app drawer but the phone keeps adding newly installed apps to the home screen. There was a toggle for this but couldn't find it in settings. Any ideas?
Go to "Settings --> Home screen" and open the inside menu cold again "Home screen" and at the bottom of this menu you shall see the option "Place new apps on the Home screen" toggle. Just disable it.
Greetings from Spain!
Thank you very much for your answers. In camera app Save Previous Mode remembers the shooting mode (Photo, Video, Portrait etc ) but when I choose 4K30 under Video and open the app next time it still defaults to 1080p30. It looks like a bug.
