Hi, I search in many different topics but without answer. I also installed gapps and so on, but still cannot force gallery to show my google plus photos. On stock ROM it just works out of box, right now I use Cyan and there I can't use this feature.
Why I would like to have those photos in gallery app instead of using g+ photo app? Because I want to have a widget on desktop with those photos (with out update of album), and so far it is only method which I found (default gallery widget + Gplus sync). Do you have any ideas how to fix it?

Try clearing data on the app info for gallery and then launch and refresh in the top right menu?

Hi all
My stock S3 came with a nice widget that rotated photos from a folder on my SD card, but I lost in when switching to CM10
I have multiple photo folders I'd like to add
Do you know of any widget apps (paid or free) that will allow me to select multiple folders to include into the rotation ??
Thanks in advance

The PhotoGallery widget that's part of the google gapps does this. Well, it lets you pick one album, or shuffle all.
Thanks
Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I meant one that rotates the photos automatically (without having to scroll down)
Not a big deal but was just curious

The Google Photo Album / Gallery doesn't automatically scroll through photos. This is one missed App from TW. I also like the S Planner app but the Wizz Apk is suffice for now.
I have been trying to run stock KitKat gallery on G3. It runs fine however my main reason was to use the photo editor that comes with the gallery app. But every time I try to click on the edit icon (Pencil icon), gallery crashes. Starting from KitKat google split the camera apk and gallery apk so I don't think we need to add certain Lib files for gallery to work.
Since I have also frozen Google+ apk, its gallery app i.e. photos is not available to be used as editor
Could anybody please verify or help get this working? Thanks.
I uninstalled the default gallery app and use Simple Gallery. Is there a way to tie the OOS camera to it? When I take a picture the small thumbnail shows up in the circle at lower right, but touching it does nothing, "no photo" pop-up. I have my gallery app set as default on settings.
Not sure if it will help but try installing another gallery app and see what pops up (if anything) when you touch the thumbnail from the camera app.
I have installed a QuickPic gallery (the best gallery app in my opinion) as well as the Open Camera app (used it before on my Samsung Note3 running Resurrection Remix so it kind of installed itself when I connected my google account).
Anyways, not I have a stock camera app opening stock gallery app (when touching the thumbnail) and I have Open Camera app opening the QuickPic, even though the stock gallery is set as default.
I'm thinking the issue may be you uninstalled the stock gallery before changing the defaults and now your camera is still looking for that stock app? It seems some apps can override the system defaults (as is in my case 2 different camera apps opening different gallery apps), and installing another gallery app may bring up the menu where you could choose your default gellery to open from camera app.
Bravo! I dirty flashed the ROM and it works again. Switched default to Simple Gallery, works. Froze OOS gallery, still works! Just need to change it before getting rid of it.
There is a default app in the settings somewhere.

Yeah, settings/apps/default. Just saying you need to set you default app, before uninstalling the system one or it won't switch.
I am coming from the GP4, and here's my issue. When I utilize an app such as Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and select a photo it automatically defaults to pulling the photo from the Samsung Gallery. Well, when I had a GP4, it would pull from Google Photos regardless, even if the image wasn't local, it would download it from the server and send. There's no way to change the default galleries app that I know of. Does anyone have a workaround for this? Is it changeable?
There's also the issue of taking a photo or video with the default camera app and if you happen to remove the Samsung Gallery APK through the console, pressing on the preview bubble of the just taken picture or video results in an error popup that there is no gallery app installed even though I have Google Photos installed.
I wish Samsungs version of Android would be more open and not so limited to their "core" apps.
I can't seem to be able to remove all the extra homescreens so I have to remove all the shortcuts on them one by one. I also can't seem to be able to make folders in the app drawer as any kind of movement on the icon immediately tries to place it as a shortcut on the home screen.
Failing that, what suggestions do you have for alternate launchers or has that feature not been properly implemented yet?
Also why aren't my Google photos restored from online backup showing up in the gallery app?

You can set alternate launchers as default without any issues (need to use navigation buttons instead of gestures by default but there's a workaround) on v3.16 / v4.13.
I use Poco Launcher and these features are supported in that.
The gallery app has a weird sorting order as well that you can modify in its settings, however, if you can see your restored photos in Google Photos, I would recommend changing the default gallery app as well. I use Gallery Go but I think Photos works as a default gallery as well.
