Aves works fine, but same problem. I guess its not gallery problem then. Seems like gcam app or my OS just hates non-google apps
I didn't know Aves. It's very good ! Thank's
Thx. Im not sure how to mark as default. In gcam app I can change default gallery app, but dont know how to do it with open camera.
I will check aves
settings > apps > default apps > gallery/camera
or
settings > apps > default apps > more defaults > gallery/camera
Thx, but seems like I dont have that option for gallery or cam. Also dont have more defaults...
Seconded on aves- Aves libre is definitely the best foss gallery app to my mind.
Isn't gcam still google's app?
I think they hard code gallery started from their app, xiaomi does that too. Solution might be other camera app, like someone mentioned opencamera.
Gcam is probably google app, but its the only one that allows me to change gallery app. Well, its not working properly or I didnt find the right version.
Opencamera cant change gallery app, it always use google photos, if Im not wrong.
Seems like there is no working solution for my phone other than google photos.
GCam requires the Google Photos app to be installed to load previews.
One way to fix this without installing it is to use GCamPhotosPreview. I use it myself and it works as expected
Thanks for sharing. I tried to follow the steps, cant uninstall gphotos, so I disabled it. Then I downloaded the apk and it offered me to update (instead of install) and update fails saying package appears to be invalid. Shame, that looked promissing.
Not sure if its the same error I get, but one way to fix it in my experience is the 'Uninstall Updates' button (if you can't find it in settings its sometimes shown in the play store).
Then you can install the app and it'll update, because android doesn't like 'updating' to a lower version number.
I guess you are talking about google photos app. I could do that in play store, but didnt help unfortunately. Thx anyway
There's an app called "Gallery" on F-Droid that's really good, but it doesn't fix that camera issue. afaik there's no fix.
I guess you mean simple gallery pro?
So is this known issue?
I dont think so there is a gallery app literally called Gallery which is newish and looks very nice
Cant find it on f droid. I found 2 on play store, one of them is google offline galery. The other one works as well, but seems like its not gallery problem. Doesnt matter what gallery I chose, same thing happens
I use Secure Camera by GrapheneOS on my Samsung A53, together with Simple Gallery. Working well enough for me!
Secure Camera looks very very nice, with QRcode reader !! Oh I think I'll love it!
I recommend LMC8.4 Gcam, as for the gallery, i use the default LineageOS one the ROM i'm using has.
Thanks, but that version is not working properly on my phone. When I open camera everything looks fine, but if I take a picture everythig is green.
