Changing default camera app - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

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?

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] Camera/Dialer/LockScreen DPI Fix

Long time lurker here, love XDA and just actually got up and running with my new Note 4. The same thought went through my head with the stock Note 3... "Why the hell do they make a phone so large and just blow the icons up, it does me no good, I'm not a blind man..." So, naturally, one of my first steps after getting root was changing the DPI.
Like with the Note 3, I quickly realized that the Samsung Applications don't play nice with the custom DPI.
I realize this may be a completely stupid question, but my Google-fu has failed me so far. I've tried using Xposed to change the DPI (just on the Camera so far) back to defaults, but nothing seems to change the camera. Is there an alternate method to tell these applications to use the default DPI, are there modded version of these apps released yet, or is there a guide I could use to assist with modding these apps to make them friendly to DPI changes?
did you enable (tick) the (app settings) at module page of xposed? I am using note 4 too, and set default dpi = 480, and notice camera app is not support custom dpi, so i use app setting to assign it back, wish this can help.
Oh samsung, you still haven't made the camera app multi dpi, that's poor

did you reboot for take xposed take effect? and for the lock screen did you use app ? or default one?
if default one, use build prop set , lock screen will be apply too.
Disregard

App settings in xposed then change keyguard to 640 dpi click apply res to widgets.
Works, thanks
Hey thanks for this info, but I don't seem to be able to change dpi of dialer/phone with app settings (camera and lockscreen worked). Am I changing the wrong app? (changed com.sec.phone and com.android.phone back to default 640)
Anyone know how to change recent apps dpi back to normal?

Nevermind, I forgot it was to change contacts apk. Also, with the new DPI, minimizing apps by drawing in from the corner no longer works. It will show as if it is shrinking the app to pop-up window then it will vanish. However, the window is still active as I tried multiple apps and then it prevented me because it said there is already 5 popups active (which is the maximum). Thanks for any help in advance!

I am not a developer, but I like all the work developers done for Android phones. I also had the same problem. Camera problem has been solved using "App Setting" application thru Xposed framework. However, Dialer and Keyboard didn't work.
Then I finally download Google Keyboard , which is the best one to use instead of Samsung Stock Keyboard. So, I am looking for another alternative for Dialer. lets see, I will post here if find anything. Thanks!

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

In settings - apps, there is default apps section, you can change it there.
Go to any camera app- info - and clear defaults
When you launch the shortcut you will be given a choice of cameras.
