I had a problem with gallery not working so downloaded quickpics and was using default app manger to change settings. Firstly, there was no default app set for most things e.g camera, gallery, browser etc. I selected gallery and it gave me a list of apps to select as the default app - but I couldn't select any of them - I mean they couldn't be clicked to select.
I opened a picture (after freezing gallery in Titanium Backup) and it asked me which app I wanted to open it, I chose Quick Pic and ticked the set this as default app. But in Quick Pic settings the default app part is greyed out even though pictures now open with Quickpic.
I am unable to set any apps as default in my stock 4.3 rooted S3 LTE. Why is this. Any help would be soooooo appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Is there a way to change the default gallery in CM6.1? I want to use QuickPic and I want the Camera App to open it when I hit the picture button at the bottom. Is this possible? Please help me out. Stock Gallery is so slow and I'm unable to choose folders when I'm trying to change Icons on LauncherPro.
I would love to find a way to do this too.
Me too. The stock gallery is very slow and I want QuickPic to be launched instead when I press the gallery button in the camera app.

well they will generally always look small if you view the picture from the message since most phones resize images to minimize the amount of data that needs to be transferred for the MMS.
So the best way to view pictures from pic messages is to long-press the picture and select Save to SD Card or whatever it says
then
go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
and go to Gallery and Clear Defaults
if you have any other gallery applications, like QuickPic, do the same for that.
then when you click the picture it should ask which gallery you want to use to view it.
i recommend using QuickPic since the stock Gallery on 4.5.91 Android 2.3.4 is awful.
I have a couple of questions to which I have not been able to find any answers to.
Is there anyway that the default search engine in Android can be changed from google to something else of my choosing, e.g. startpage.com? I don't mean the browser search but the google search in android.
How do I set the default browser to be something other than the stock browser, i.e. clicking on links within other apps (like e-mail) would open my browser of choice instead of the stock browser? I'd like to use FF as my default browser but cannot find anywhere that I can set it as default.
I'm using stock GB 2.3.4.
For the default browser question go to settings>applications and find the current default browser. Click it and you should see a "clear default" button at the bottom. Open up a link and then it will give you the browsers on which you want to open the apps with. Click on wet as default and select the browser of your choice.
Edit: Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All

The google search engine is a widget. So you should probably try searching if there is a widget available for your prefered search engine.
@ephraim033. I forgot about the default flag settings for apps in the settings menu.
@iamafrk. I didn't realise the Google search was a widget. You learn something new every day. Unfortunately a widget doesn't exist for startpage.com. I wonder what's involved in creating one. Something I'll look into when I have time.
All of a sudden today I can't change my wallpaper to a pic from my Gallery. Tried from stock Wallpapers still couldn't, I changed to a Live one and it worked. Tried rebooting, shutting down turning back on and still happening. Another weird thing, when I select the section of the pic and hit save, it generates a duplicate but cropped image as another file...so the wallpaper that I wanted instead becomes another cropped image. Never seen anything like this.
Wallpaper to your home or lock screen? if it's the lock screen that won't change are you probably using a launcher? if so turn off your launcher and go back to TouchWiz first then change it from there also use the default gallery viewer.
Thanks for that, I made the original Gallery default app instead of gallery3d from S2. Shame though, I don't mind using the S3 gallery except that that the sharing options are lacking. Has every option except Messaging, Email etc. The most popular choices are missing even if I choos 'More'.

I know there are tons of image search apps in the Play Store. But I've been trying to find one that comes up in the choices when you try to attach a picture in an application.
For ex, I have a note taking app that allows me to insert pictures in the app. When I insert a picture, the popup menu comes up with the different gallery choices I have on my phone (in my case I have Samsung Gallery, 4.2 AOSP gallery and Quickpic). What I'm looking for is an app that would appear in this menu so I can search the internet directly to attach the picture instead of going into an image search app, downloading the pic, then going back to my note taking app and inserting it. So basically I'm looking for an app that would allow me to skip the downloading the pic to my SD Card part and to attach the pic directly.
Tried Droid Iris, Image Search and many others but so far none of those apps come up in the gallery choice menu.
Anybody knows of an app that does this??
