Hello everybody,
I've just installed a new ROM on my Razr XT910 (Way Away 1.0.5) and I'm having this problem with the media gallery everytime I take a picture and click on the miniature to open it.
The error message says: "Media gallery not installed"
Anyone knows how to solve it?
Thanks in advance.
You could always install a camera app from the Play Store and use it instead. (Make sure the app has the option to save pictures on your SD)
Also, let the developer of your ROM know of this issue so he/she can prevent future users of having it.

Thanks for your help Zack, I've already ask for help with the dev, but he just didn't answer.
Can you recomend a good (I mean the best) camera app to use on my Razr?
Thanks again.
I'm not sure about the system you're using, but Motorola camera applications are related to Motorola gallery applications. If you are using Droid RAZR M camera (MotCamera.apk, with an icon like this), you must have Droid RAZR M gallery (MotGallery2.apk) in order to access pictures from camera miniatures, otherwise you will have the error you said. If you are using Droid RAZR camera (BlurCamera.apk, with an icon like this), you must have Droid RAZR gallery (MotGallery.apk).

Well, I'm using the second one (Blur), so I'm gonna search for this MotGallery right now!
Thank you!
--edit--
I quit! I couldn't find the damn app for the gallery so instead I've just downloaded a third party app for the camera (Camera MX) and it's working fine right now.
Btw, this camera is really nice and quite better than stock... I'm using it as default. Thanks again for your help
You're welcome. The new camera and gallery applications are way better than the older ones and I haven't found a single bug since I first tried them, months ago, so I don't have the old files (BlurCamera.apk and MotGallery.apk) anymore, but I have the new ones (MotCamera.apk and MotGallery2.apk). You can easily replace them, just rename the old *.apk files to *.bak (if you want to back up them), push the new *.apk files to /system/app/, set permissions (-rw-r--r--) and reboot. You will then have both updated stock camera and gallery applications installed and working perfectly.
Camera is not really much different, but it's faster. Gallery is really better, completely different and awesome. And now you can access pictures with stock gallery from within camera miniatures.

Well... I'm a quite stubborn person so even with the other app working flawlessly, I did a deep search to find a way of getting my stock camera working, and that's what you said there is exactly what I did here. I've renamed the stock one to BlurCamera.apk.bak (just in case) and put the new files to the system directory with the needed permissions, and after the rebbot my gallery was working like a charm.
Thanks for the files anyway, even not using them I'm quite sure someone in the future may find it usefull when a problem like mine appear. And reading your post, people should get everything working with no issue!
Hail brother!

ok, am a newbie here and this is my first post, so please be gentle if i go wrong or violate any rule of the forum. basically, i wish to know what are the applications that we can strip out of the MiniCM6 ROM. i got rid of many .apk's which i felt was not actually needed by me. Eg - Development.apk, DPS Manager .apk, CMWallpapers.apk, LiveWallpapers.apk, etc.
i also got rid of the stock MiniCM camera app and replaced with the Stock SE Mini camera app...the picture quality has improved significantly than the MiniCM's bundled camera app.
Could you pls shed some light on how exactly you ported the stock SE camera to miniCM6 as i ve been trying this for a while now but still not able to. Thanks.
please make a rom, call it "Minimalist MiniCM" for the average joe. ill beta test!

get root explorer v2.15,install it and open it.tap "mount as r/w", next go to your root/system/app (again tap "mount as r/w" if it is r/o) and delete the "camera.apk" there. then, copy the attached file (DO not install now) to root/system/app. next, "click and hold" the copied file and open "permissions" and tick all the permissions. next click the camera.apk and select "install". done!!
enjoy your Camera!!!!....the only problem is that if you have to delete your file, u have to navigate it manually and delete it, u cannot delete it in the "camera preview" mode, it will FC the camera.

that is a nice idea, but since it is just a stripped down version of a ROM, will i not be violating any rules or something????....u know, i am a noob, not very much familiar with the rules of the forum
since i have uninstalled MOST of the apps, my battery life has increased significantly. the available space in phone storage is 202 MB!!!!!....i even got rid of MOST of the "data" involving apps including GMaps,street plugin & twitter(Silly, i know!!! but i actually don't need them and they run on the background to eat up the battery and also my available data).
the overall experience is the cell runs faster and the battery is almost running for 1 and a half day with moderate to heavy use.
i am already convinced, make a rom AND RELEASE IT TO THE PUBLIC! plz
My changes:
The following apps are removed:
1.AndroidTerm.apk
2.CarHomeGoogle.apk
3.CarHomeLauncher.apk
4.CMWallpapers.apk
5.Development.apk
6.DSPManager.apk
7.GenieWidget.apk
8.GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk (don't get anxious, u WILL get a google search box, EVEN if i removed this )
9.HTC_IME_lo15.apk
10.Launcher2.apk
11.LauncherPro -0.8.4.1.apk
12.LiveWallpapers.apk (livewallpaperpicker.apk is still there, so u can pick your own LWP, just uninstalled the included livewallpapers)
13.MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
14.MAPS.apk (silly, i know )
15.MUSIC.apk (replaced it with the 2.3 Gingerbread music app)
16.Radio.apk
17.Soundback.apk
18.SoundRecorder.apk
19.street.apk
20.LatinIME.apk (installed the gingerbread keyboard instead)
21.Camera.apk (uninstalled the MiniCM camera app and replaced it with the stock SE x10 mini camera app. the quality of the pictures are better and the video recording got back the continious autofocus back )
22. VoiceSearch.apk
23.VoiceDialer.apk
Added:
1. Simple Task Manager .apk
2.App 2 SD pro.apk
3.Stock SECamera.apk
4.Gingerbread keyboard.apk
5.Zeam Launcher (it is the lightest launcher which incoporates multitouch "pinch to zoom")
6.RootExplorer v2.15 .apk
7.SlideIT keyboard .apk (Swype replacement for x10 mini)
My question is, can i release it WITHOUT offending respectable developers and the forum rules????
who would it offend? as long as you are using only free apps though. :S
Thanks for the detailed instructions. Is the picture quality really that different? Can you please post 2 pics if possible?
of course.... here you go

Give proper credits and links to the original ROM in your main post and I doubt anybody will be offended
As long as you give people credit it's fine, everything is open source, thats the beauty of Android.
Having said that, I don't really see the point of doing it! It would be much easier for people wanting a stripped version just to uninstall the apps themselves. Get Titanium Backup from the market and uninstall all the .apk files listed in a previous post and you've done it! Much easier than having to backup everything, and install a Rom then fiddle with all your settings again to get them all how you like them

Also, you wouldn't be able to release one that had Root Explorer pre-installed, that's a paid app (and well worth paying for! )

yup, i understood it.....thanks man
This is a simple mod I made to the stock android 2.2 camera application. It binds the hardware search button to take pictures, since the phone doesn't have a hardware camera button.
I couldn't find something already to accomplish this for me and I figured others may also want a hardware button as I did.
Caveat: The stock 2.2 camera can only take up to 5MP shots or at least that's what it reports. I personally don't mind too much since it's largest use case would self portraits or when you're out with friends.
At any rate I hope it's useful.
*Update*
Okay I've updated and added a few things.
- It will now write to your actual sdcard "sdcard-ext" not the internal one
- I now have for both the 2.2.2 DX2 and the 2.3.3 DX2 for whichever your on.
- I have versions with and without notification bars. I don't like full screen in portrait personally.
I also decided to attach the stock the AOSP gallery I have been using
- This has a 2.2.2 and 2.3.3
- It also has notification bar or full screen
Please pick the proper version. NotificationBar in the name denotes that it is not full screen.
Hope you enjoy.
Very cool. Works great!

IF i wanted to go back to stock after installing this what would i do? Also why is this wanting full permissions to install? Why does it need gps loaction and to be able to look at sms messages

TL;DR Version: This wont replace stock. It uses same permissions as the regular one. I assume (GPS) geo-tag and (SMS) for tight picture message integration.
********************************************************************
-------------------------- Long Version --------------------------------------------
********************************************************************
It doesn't remove the stock because it's not the same package name. Android is designed to not let two applications of the same name (package name not display name) reside on the same system. If you try to install a second one it will assume it is an update and replace the old. This will fail because my signing key is not the same as the one on your stock camera application.
You'll have two install cases:
First on a stock android or one without a renamed camera package. This application will not replace it because it's a different package name (com.android.camera vs com.android.cameramod. It will simply run along side it.
Now if you're running this on the Droid X2 or another motoblur I believe the package is renamed on there to com.motoblur.camera or something to that effect. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
As for the permissions those are stock permissions of the AOSP camera application. You can confirm this by going into settings > applications > camera > show permissions.
I don't know them all off of the top of my head but I think (anyone feel free to correct me)
- Your messages - read SMS or MMS (for strong picture message integration ?)
- Your location - fine (GPS) location (geo-tagging pictures)
- Storage - modify/delete SD card contents (to save pictures)
- Phone Calls - read phone state and identity (prevent use while on call ?)
- Hardware controls - record audio, take pictures (it says it right under it...)
- System tools - prevent phone from sleeping (as does this one, obvious no ?)
*EDIT*
Note that it doesn't have network access. If the application was malicious and data mining you how would
it report any information back ?
Ok thanks for the clarification. I am still new to android. I also thought this was modifying the original camera app in some way not actually replacing it. Thnaks for clearing everything up.
@kc9bvi you're modifying the original camera app on the X2 ? Theme or the source ? I'm interested in the latter if you've access to it.
Isn't this just a different cam app?
I installed it and it gave me the stock android cam app when I opened it. The X2 cam app isn't perfect, but I think its better then the plain android one. Is there a way to modify the existing cam app, to make the search button take the pic?
This is not the Droid X2 camera app. It's not widescreen, there's no continual auto focus and the controls are different. It does work as it says it should, however.

Yes it opens the stock one because that's what it was built from. As for modifying the BlurCamera I have considered it and started looking into it. This can be done one of two ways, first and quite obvious if someone has the BlurCamera source I can use, second by using apktool and modifying the code in smali. To do this I need a deodexed BlurCamera.apk. I was trying to do it myself and got this error. If someone can help me with it or has a deodexed 2.2 BlurCamera.apk I can use I would like to try.
The error output is attached if anyone can help with it.

I did not say it was the Droid X2 camera app I said it was the stock android 2.2 one, which it is. You may have misread it. I am sorry if the thread title is misleading.

I've Noticed On Any ROM So Far That Sometimes The Stock Browser Won't Download At Times. Couple Good Browsers Free In The Market Are Skyfire And Boat Browser Mini. Good Luck.
I've updated it. Check the main post.
Thanks, I will try it on my DX2
A shame it can't push 8mp huh. But I love having it sync to the non fail gallery
A very sincere thank you to the OP for making these apps with so many options. Your work.is greatly appreciated!
Climbed all the forum and the gallery is not working anywhere. I tried with other models of Motorola, it's not working. Everywhere one problem "loading......."
Question!! Is there even a working gallery?????
I don't even use the stock gallery app since it is the most awful gallery app I have ever used.
I use QuickPic from the Android Market, it is a small app and it is the best gallery app I have ever used.. I know a lot of people loves it.
you should give it a try.
I also use the QuickPic(as a standalone application),but when photographed immediately want to see photos of a built-in gallery,but it does not work
stock gallery works fine for me

ok then you have a problem with something being corrupted..
I'm not sure if this would help but have you tried clearing the data from gallery under the menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all apps ??
if this doesn't help something is corrupted somehow.
I guess the phone UI has been localised by instructions from 4pda?
My friend bought Photon 4g recently and it have such modifications and broken stock gallery.
Yesterday i sbf-ed his phone, rooted, etc, and only apply ru_UA locale using morelocale2. Stock gallery works flawlessly.
I guess its an issue with something in additional localisation.

Struggling to replace dodgy gallery with quickpic on JB 4.1.2 so that the camera uses quickpic as the default viewer.
Tried freezing gallery, when I click on photo in camera nothing happens. Set default app for photos to be quickpic and the camera still uses gallery.
Any ideas. ..?

The first thing I do with a new device is ditch the Gallery in favor of QuicPic.
If you're rooted, no problem just delete the Gallery. If not, go to Settings/Applications/All/Gallery/ and click on Clear Defaults. Next time you view a picture select QuickPic and click on Clear Defaults.

If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.

Thats my question too, but with the nexus 4 gallery.
any solution?
-anyone tried the renaming idea, as suggested?
My guess is the two apps function differently and so google has changed our ability to use quickpic from the JB camera. Why? Think about it - if you use the camera from the lockscreen by swiping to the right, you can take a pic and review it without entering a password and unlocking your phone. But reviewing a pic this way gives you very limited options (eg you CANNOT set it as wall paper, nor can you email it or send it, which if you Could, would be a sneaky security flaw that would enable access into a locked device).
This means google has rewritten gallery to function differently according to whether it has been accessed via the camera from the lockscreen or whether you have accessed the camera after unlocking the device.
Quickpic probably doesn't have that ability, but I wish it DID!
I dunno - MAYBE WE ALL SHOULD EMAIL THE MAKERS OF QUICKPIC AND REQUEST THAT IT BE UPDATED SO AS T WORK WITH THE STOCK CAMERA?
Quickpic is an awesome app and it's way better than the stock gallery app!
when you disable gallery in apps manager it disables both the gallery and camera which means that their obvously linked together. they are both separate apks but still both part of the same app therefore meaning that it wouldnt really be possible to do it i dont think unless you were to modify the gallery app yourself you might be able to do it but would be hard XD from what i can think the camera apk kinda acts like a link if you think about it as opposed to its own app.
QuickPic cannot view TIFF files. I have alot of them copied from my PC to the SD card and cannot find a viewer that can see both those and the Jpegs. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello
I'm a noob with a rooted HTC One that I just bought. I have very little experience with rooted phones. Never owned one before and never rooted anything.
My phone is working well except that when I take pictures or video, they disappear. They don't show in the gallery. I can find them in the file system using a file explorer. I cannot make new Gallery folders either. I tried installing 3rd party apps and they don't work either. Maybe the file system did not get properly configured. Is there a way to do a fresh reinstall of the default Gallery app? Or are you aware of a Gallery app that will completely install its own system that might work?
I am on android 4.3.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike
Try quickpic, it's free in the playstore.. Not sure what's going on with your gallery to be honest. But I only ever use quickpic gallery on my phones..
