Install any other gallery app of your choice and then open manage apps and clear defaults for default gallery and then open a picture and set ur New app as default always

Too bad. Your device has a specific forum, you only post there or the Android general forums. Your thread will be moved.

[Q] Removing Native Apps

I have a nexus one, running CM7.1. My question is that is there a way of removing the stock native apps like the messaging app, the browser, galary, music player or camera? Because i use PowerAMP, GoSMS, Dolphin DH Browser and i don't need the native apps, is that possible?
I don't think third party apps can working properly without those system app. But you can give it a try by freezing those system app by using titanium backup.

Remove Photo Gallery - Safe?

Since I'm using QuickPic & MIUI Gallery - can I safely remove the Blue photo gallery?
I did it and no problems original FCs. Just froze it.

Yeah, I always remove the stock gallery. The only problem is, depending on what ROM you use, you might not be able to access your pics from the camera app.

I'm a huge fan of blurred ROMs and have gotten into the habit of replacing the moto gallery with Gallery3D from CM7. Just push the gallery of your choice to system/app and set the permissions for it as the same as everything else in there.

[Q] Stock Jelly Bean SMS app instead of Samsung's ?

Hello,
I was wondering if I could replace Samsung's messaging app with Google's SMS/MMS app or just install Google's. I really prefere Google's one but for some reason I want to keep a Samsung-based ROM (not for Touchwiz launcher, but some apps like the Camera with no shutter lag, S-Memo which I use with my C-Pen,...)
Yes you can, but you need first remove the stock messaging app

How can I replace it with Google's SMS/MMS app ? Where can I download it and will it work with my Touchwiz-based ROM ?
You can pull the apk out of CM10 build.. Push it in system/app after renaming.. But keep in mind your smses will not be threaded..

Try this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/....com.android.mms&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
I was going to use it myself but decided to stick with handcent which i've been using since GBread.
I expect you can do with this app what i done with handcent, - go into stock app - setting disable notifications, go to app manager the disable the stock message app - setup notifications on new message app and you should be good to go.
The dev also got the google calender etc too.
Hope this helps and works - let us know :good:

I extracted my MMS apk from my cm10 ROM, download it: http://db.tt/kCXioNLo
then use root explorer to copy it to system/app folder.
Then you set the right permissions (all of the first row checked and first of second row only, if in doubt check on the other apps permissions and set the same)
And the look for Semms.apk (or something like this), backup and delete it

I made a flashable cwm package for you .
It does every thing itself.
enjoy,
Thanks all ! But i've no thread in sms/mms, you have an idea ?
You will not get threaded messages in aosp messaging app.. Use the app someone posted from the market.. It is modded to be used in Stock roms

Is there really no way to have threads with the original file ? I remember when I got the Galaxy Nexus for a week, I had threads on my SMS/MMS app. With the app on Android Market I'm having issues with LightFlow and the unread count from Apex Launcher doesn't work

I'm currently on the Sprint S3, and I flashed your package. All went well, but when I tried to send a picture message, it force closed the app. When I tried to re-open the thread, it just force closes.
Btw, is there any way to get the little message icon in the lockscreen for this replacement? I miss being able to slide outward on that message icon to be presented with the latest thread.

Change default gallery app

How can i change default gallery app in CyanogenMod 12.1 from gallery to Quick pic .
Sent from my Nitro using XDA-Developers mobile app
In Settings/Apps, go to Gallery and tap Clear Defaults. Then when you open a picture you will be asked which app to use and whether you want to use it all the time.

Then see if the camera app has the ability to use 3rd-party apps for viewing pictures you take with it... some do, some don't.
