I'm about to smash my Photon and I need some help. I recently upgraded to peetr's custom 2.3.5 hybrid ROM so I could use TMobil. The only camera app I can get to work with photobucket uploading is the stock camera. I've tried 3 other camera apps, and every time I select "photobucket" as the "Share this photo" destination, I get the "Media added to photobucket queue" message....and that's it. No uploading. No errors, nothing. If I use the stock camera to take a pic and select photobucket, it uploads just fine.
The problem is, the stock camera is tied into "Gallery ICS" and I can't separate them. In my previous setup, when I took a pic with the stock camera, then clicked on that pic in the bottom left corner, the pic would pop up full screen and I could check it out and upload or delete it.
In peetrs ROM, when I take a pic and then click on it, it opens Gallery ICS, which then shows me a thumbnail of every fricking folder anywhere on my camera I have a photo saved. WTF? I don't understand why anyone could possibly want that behavior from a camera app, but whatever. I've scoured the settings and I can't find any way to stop Gallery ICS from popping up when I want to view a pic in the camera.
Does anyone know how to fix the photobucket uploading issue or force the camera to just let me view a pic when I click on it?

Just a thought that you could try actually searching the the first post of this ROMS thread. The answer is right there under the optional APKs.
BlurCamera with gallery choice - mainly for Quickpic (pictures must be on internal SD)
That should hopefully fix your issue. I'll test with my photobucket to see if I can make it upload.

I have the new camera working, but when I click on a pic to view it, I get "Media Gallery not installed". This happens regardless of which storage location is selected (internal or SD). Am I supposed to install something else?

Try downloading a picture gallery app like Quickpic.

QuickPic was already installed before I "upgraded" the camera. I can launch QuickPic fine, but this new camera app doesn't give me the option to select a gallery, just an error when I click on a pic. Any other ideas?

If you can't set the photo gallery that launches, I would just move on to trying a different/previous camera. Can you go to manage apps and clear any defaults that would be causing it to only use that gallery?
Sorry, wish I could be more help.

Yes, I've cleared data, it did nothing. I really don't understand how this replacement camera is supposed to work, if it even does. Has anyone here successfully swapped out their stock camera with the one linked in the first post and have it working? If so, could you please respond?
This is the most frustrated I've been in 3 years, 2 cameras and a dozen roms. The stock camera and Camera ICS on this rom blinds everything with the flash making them unusable. This replacement camera doesn't blind everything with the flash, but it throws this damn "Media Gallery not installed" error. I just want crap back like it was, where I had a stock camera with a flash that didn't blind everything and let me open pics to view them without showing me every picture gallery on the camera. Of course I can't go back to that rom since I flashed the KDDI radio.

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.

Is it possible to rename quickpic to the same name as old gallery and put it in the system folder?

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?

This is really weird.
I recently installed CM10.1 from GB, and camera HAD been working (or so I thought). Now, when I start the camera, I get the dreaded "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" error. :crying::crying:
I've tried clearing Gallery data, clear everything (data, cache, davlik, /system, and /data) and reinstalling CM10.1, and I'm still getting the error.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.
Just download an app that uses the camera.
Thank You !!

I am still having camera problems unfortunately...the supplied camera app doesn't force close, seems to take a picture REALLY SLOWLY, and then, doesn't seem to save the image - e.g. the flash remains on and doesn't ever turn off after the audible taking picture sound. I also tried CameraMX on this ROM, and it too has problems saving pictures.
I'm open to any ideas anyone has. Thanks in advance
Both the CM10.1 ROMs released for the SGP5.0 have non functioning front cameras. The preview works, which is why you are sometimes able to save pictures with third party apps. To solve the error though from unfortunately camera has stopped you have to get the camera.apk from JackpotClavin's April 7th build. Its in his zip. just replace the camera app with this and it should work better.

Its not camera.apk its Gallery2.apk . Either way only the front faciNg video chat camera works, the 3.2 or 5.0 mp camera does not take pictures, even though the preview works. The April 14th camera/gallery FCing is a known issue so yeah just take the Gallery2.apk from April 7th.

On PAC-Man my gallery/camera isn't force-closing. I had to unmount the sd card and reboot though, because it always said, that there is no external sd card available. And I think I also had to clear data of the gallery app.
Hope this helps.

I found the Gallery2.apk from April 7th and installed it. It doesn't look like you can uninstall either version of the gallery app. The version shows 1.1.40001. Is this the correct version?
I "Cleared Data" in the gallery app and I'm still having trouble saving pictures. It seems to take the picture, but doesn't complete the process. I've also tried SnapChat and CameraMX with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The rear camera with the flash is not going to save pictures (yet) that is one of the last few bugs left in Jackpot's CM10.1, however the fron vga camera will save pictures and even work for skype. Did you remove the old Gallery2.apk from /system/vendor/app/ and replace it with the Apr 7th one and set the permissions correctly? The only reason you needed the new one was to stop the "gallery has stopped working" message.
I hope i have been of assistance.

Same problem...
I'm sure some of y'all used a iPhone before.
When you use the camera app, Snapchat, Instagram, whatsapp, Facebook camera.
The quality is the same.
But if you do the same with SOME Android phone. Especially if it has dual cameras than you get mix results.
With a dual camera like the v30 you can't pick the default camera to open on a app.
(ex: whatsapp uses the wide angle and instagram uses the normal camera)
The camera quality is horrible! "ex: camera quality looks burry on instagram"
Is there a way over this?

Use the app's ability to choose from Gallery. I always do that. EVERY app like Facebook, WhatsApp lets you choose from your Gallery.
The only time I use an app to actually take a picture is for my banking app to deposit checks. (Some apps will even let you choose from ANYWHERE on your phone, like Download folder through a file explorer but Facebook does not -- it only lets you choose Gallery.
Just this morning I went into WhatsApp to verify the exact steps. You choose the "camera" symbol, then from there you can either take a picture or "swipe up for Gallery". It's written right there on the page in WhatsApp interface.
When I choose from the Gallery, I know the picture is exactly the way I want it, cropped right, etc. With the LG V30, you would then have also chosen which of the three cameras you wanted to take the picture with -- either of the two front cameras or the selfie camera.

The problem with that is it won't let me use the app special filters so it kinda kills the point of the app.

The phone camera does have filters to make shots look better... There's a couple of threads in this forum devoted to that.
But you're right -- you're not going to have the comic filters and stuff.
I have a question about my wife's F1.
I just noticed that she doesn't use a proper app to view the gallery (i.e., view photos taken on her device). When she takes a photo, she can look at it by selecting it in the stock camera app at the bottom. Then, when she wants to look for more photos taken in the past, she flicks through the photos ONE BY ONE (I think this is still the camera app).
Now, there is also a stock gallery app (it's called "Photos" in English, I assume). Why the hell is this not linked up to the camera app in the first place? The follow-up question would be, how do I configure the camera app to always use "Photos" for viewing pictures taken?
Thanks guys for any advice!

No, this is definitely not Google Photos. She doesn't use that - and I know how it looks. This was just some kind of image preview. Definitely not a gallery.
In a gallery, you can see many photos at once, and scroll through days/weeks/months, select photos, share them, etc.
Other people on the internet mention a shortcut to the gallery in the stock camera app of the F1, but from what I can tell, nothing like that here. Maybe I can post a picture later.
No one here has experienced this? Or maybe knows how to change the gallery app?
