Try Accessing the task manager by holding menu key. Switch to default apps and click gallery and change to quickpic

it didn't work or there's no option for that.
There are 3 options popping out
the 2nd one is launch google search
the 3rd one is clear the ongoing apps
the 1st one is divided into active apps, downloaded apps, RAM, clear default, and storage
I've checked all of them and there's no option to change certain app

[Q] [Help] When Clicking Images in Gallery the thumbnail bar covers the bottom third

Not sure if this is by design, or I have done something. In the Gallery app when I click a thumbnail, I get the large image and a thumbnail bar overlays it and shows the rest of the images from that album,I have attached a screenshot of what happens.
Is there a way to get rid of it?
Not sure if it is related, but if I play a video file from the Gallery app the the video controls don't go away until I Change orientation of the phone.
What firmware are you using?
Try to disable apps in the accessabillity setting. I had issues with apps which have to be enabled. Please try to disable them and try again
If i helped you please press the thanks button.

Help with setting lock screen wallpaper

Hi I've just flashed foxhound rom 0.8 on to my s4 but when I go to change my lock screen wallpaper, the option to choose from gallery is not there. only from the default wallpapers. for home screen the options come out but not for lock screen. Any idea why? I can't Post on the developers thread yet. so if anyone has a solution or could help me post there it would be much appreciated. a couple of guys asked about it before but no one gave a solution.
Thanks.

What launcher are you using? How about navigating to your preferred image in Gallery, then trying to set it as wallpaper from there?
Im using Nova Launcher. Ive tried that too. I can only set as Wallpaper, not Lock screen Wallpaper. I cant ask the foxhound developers as i cant post there yet since i just signed up.
Hmm noticed the same thing here. Previous on TW, able to set lock screen wallpaper from gallery or from settings. Now on Google Edition, doesn't seem to have this option

Note that doing the next few steps will reset your default app preferences, disabled apps etc.
In Settings, Application Manager, hit menu then Reset App Preferences.. read the warning!
This would help IF whatever's causing your problem is actually a 3rd party app that "clashes" (in a way) with the stock Gallery app
edit: also.. if that doesn't help, maybe try changing wallpapers from within touchwiz launcher, THEN relaunch nova
Tried to do what you said adrian, but still no go. When i click on display, wallpaper, lock screen, still only shows me one option there 'wallpapers' . No gallery or option for any 3rd party picture viewer. Could someone maybe help me post on the foxhound 0.8 for i9505 thread?
Thanks alot.
download QuickPic, pretty certain you can set lockscreen wallpaper using that

Correct. Been using that app for two years now. It's way smoother and quicker than the stock Gallery app and has some very useful features as well (excluding unwanted folders etc.) :good:

My bad, had the tab open too long and didn't refresh prior to answering. Odd that Quickpic doesn't work for you!
no worries man. but i know what you mean. it appears on my s2 with cm rom. but not on my s4 with foxhound. i just need to find out if its a bug in the rom or not

Changing default Gallery App to QuickPic

Went to app manager tried to 'clear defaults' on the Gallery app, that was grey'd out.
tried to freeze gallery with Link2sd, when i click the preview from camera, it throws an error msg.
i can't take the dim images of the stock gallery app, quickpic is so much faster.
any ideas?
i am rooted.
it's greyed out because gallery isn't set as default for anything.
it's hardcoded into the camera app that it should use the gallery app in preview mode.
the only way to get around this is by using a 3rd party camera app, but loading previews will be slower.

thanks for the reply,
surprising there is no way around this.

Is there a way to launch another camera app than the stock one with the gesture?

Basically, that. A xposed module, build prop?
Thanks!

Install whatever third party camera app you plan on using, then use the lockscreen camera shortcut. It should ask you what camera to open.
If it doesn't go into settings -> apps then open your default camera app. Find open by default, then clear default. After that try the lockscreen shortcut again. Now it should ask which camera to open.

Thanks, that's a way but I was asking by making the double twist gesture to open another one; do you know?

My mistake. Thought you were talking about lockscreen. Sorry I've turned off all the moto gestures.
Here you go, works great on MM. Doesn't bypass pattern (security) screen like stock camera though so if yo have one enabled still have to deal with that

Changing default camera app

I've installed the GCam app APK and it is working fine, I've also set it as the default application for camera in settings.
Even with this, whenever I double click the power button (I've got this set to launch the camera) or expand the camera icon in the bottom right of the lockscreen, it still launches the OnePlus camera app rather than the one I've set as default.
Is there a way to change this to open the other camera app, rather than the OnePlus one?
I've also tried installing a different camera app from the app store in case but the same thing happens.
Can anyone help with this please?
