I'm not loving the stock gallery app on the Z2 because of the lack of ability to make folders. So I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for a way to fix this or a better gallery app.

You can use Quickpic, but you won't have X-Reality.

Thanks, not so happy with this, nosense for me..
I don't think lack of X-reality is the main problem.
QuickPic is great and can be linked to your camera app too. However, due to KitKat limitations, you won't be able to delete/move/edit pics via QuickPic if images are on microSD.
If you're rooted, then not a problem.

Agreed rooted does bypass the annoying SD issues of Kitkat but devs are already wising up to this. Whilst Quickpic and others can delete,edit etc, some apps already can such as ES File explorer.
i.e. made my SD card the default for the camera. Took some pics. Used Quickpic to view and delete some. It appears deleted but reopen Quickpic and the pics reappear. Strangely enough, even via PC it didnt show all the pics that the phone was showing (nothing hidden etc) however using Es File Exp i was able to delete the unwanted pics.

You need to edit the platform.xml file under system/etc/permissions/ in order for any "USER" app to edit the external SD card.
This is a KitKat issue (not Sony).
Google for instructions.
Another alternative : Gallery Google as on Nexus 5,bonus : you can watch photospheres you made with Google camera from Play Store.
Nice extra to have on your Z2.
The only problem is that it is mixing random pictures in camera folder. There should be a different folder for the pictures taken be the camera.

Collections?
The other option is just to use Play Memories Collections instead of folders. Yes, this uploads your photos to Play Memories as well, but it does at least allow you to group and categorise the photos on your phone.

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. ..?
Sent via TCP/IP
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.

Thanks guys but not working. Uninstalled gallery. Clicked on a picture, chose quickpic, cleared defaults. When I click on a photo using the camera nothing happens, it's like the camera is hardcoded to use old gallery.will try installing stock camera and trying that

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?

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..

I use an album called quick pic, you can "hide" folders which is handy because there is not a great deal I hate more than having album covers in my pictures folder.
Cannot create new folders though due to 4.4.4 sd write protection
Quick pic is very nice app, but it's really annoying when you have a lot of albums and you have to wait for thumbnails to load each time.

When clicking the thumbnail in Samsung Galaxy Camera app, this module allows to open image/video with any installed gallery/player (instead of only the stock Gallery). Created for Samsung S5 (G900F) but may work on other Samsung models as well.
Samsung Camera Any Gallery Fix is also available from Xposed Module Repository (source).
Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 4.3 MK6. This mod doesn't work. Nice thought though.

Oh I was waiting for this kind of module!
As mentioned, doesn't work on JB 4.3 on i9305 (S3 international - 4G variant).
Previously uploaded camera.apk is probably the same than in my ROM.
Thanks for looking into that! ?

Please try the attached version. If it doesn't work, upload your Samsung Camera odex file because there was not dex in the apk and I included changes from other version - it might be it but who knows how many versions of Samsung Camera there are...
Sorry, no dice. Still loading but nowt else.

Thanks. That has fixed the problem and it always works without lags ect.
One thing I have noticed is that if you set the camera app to save to an external SD card, it still saves some pictures on the internal card such as those taken in burst modes.
Without the module, both internal and external media is scrollable when tapping the thumbnail. But once the module is enabled, it only loads images/videos from a single folder depending on where an image was last saved.
It's not a big issue and I'm happy to live with it as burst images are hardly ever taken anyway.

Images taken in burst mode are always stored in internal memory - camera app informs about that.
If you browse only one folder with your gallery then it's feature or limitation of that app. (At least this is what I think, I don't know if something like that can be requested via intent. Maybe...)

This is weird. I found using the camera api call (getLastContentUri) more reliable than searching for latest image on my own (it included also other picuteres like screenshots and I was unaware of how to get rid of them and search only for camera media).
What relation is A to B anyway?

Oh i see it now, it seems that B is located in sdcard/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/, and A is located in extSdCard/DCIM/Camera. So quickpic is open in internal memory, that i've never used for photos or video. Is that normal?

My only guess is that it can be caused by Media Scanner because Samsung Camera is using MediaStorage to manage/accesss to captured files. But I really don't know in your case, especially it seems to work fine for me (use extSdCard for taken pictures)...
Nope, still no dice. No errors in xposed.

Just fyi
My question is pretty much summed in the title.
I would like the stock camera to save files using the date-time format which pretty much all phones nowadays do.
According to Sony's forums this is not possible and "a hardware limitation" (which is utter BS).
I am even considering hacking the app (never tried this on a smartphone app) or write my own app/module - I'd need help as this would be my first Android app.
I know that there are apps that change file names on-the-fly, but judging from the comments they don't work too well.
I have already installed another camera app that creates proper file names, but it seems to have limited access to the hardware and can take only 8MB pictures.

That does it, however, you will encounter issues when syncing photos with Google Photos in terms if lacking consistency between your device filenames and the cloud filenames, and duplicate photos.

Just checked a few file names in my Google photos and then look ok. I only generally sync over wi-fi, so the app has time to rename the file before uploaded. You can change the file renaming delay in the settings which might help.
