Changed from stock edit soft to Photos by Google and can't change back - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I did what I said in the title and after I tryed to clear defaults but there were none (the buttons of "Photos" for Clearing Defaults was grayed out), I tryed to uninstall Photos by google and it worked but the edit icon in gallery disapeared (When I open a photo I do not have that edit icon anymore). I installed snapseed and the edit button reapeared but it opens snapseed when I click on it. How to get the stock editor back ? Please...

But i still can open some images on Gallery although some others cannot be opened
Any solution to fix it?

[Q] Google photo editor?

I've installed Google Photos but every time I go to edit I get limited options. I'm assuming this is an LG thing. The editor that opens from my Google Photos app in my GPe device. And the options and editing is much nicer.
Anyone notice this or have issue with the default edit options?
I have tried and tried but the only editing functions that work are the crop, rotate. Everything else is there but is non responsive!
If I go into the photo gallery and look at a picture and click the little pencil to "edit" it will bring me to the edit screen but it won't let me do anything within the editor without crashing .

There is an update. It works great.
Yes! I'm not happy about it either. How do you go back? I actually called lg and the guy I spoke with said it maybe the Android software that's caused this. I don't know becaus I deleted Google pbotos, I lost editing options under my galery. When I reinstalled Google photos the editing options came back but still limited. Any idea how to go back to the old way?
If you want to apply more edit to the photos, install Snapseed. The LG stock gallery will open up Snapseed for editing/stuffs.
Not bad I must say.

Gallery from Camera only showing last photo taken

When I go to preview photos after taking a few pictures, (by clicking the gallery circle at the bottom right in the camera) I can only see the LAST picture taken and do not have the ability to swipe to any others. I never had a phone that worked like this and its kinda annoying to have to leave the camera app, then go open the gallery and find latest photos just to preview them, possibly delete them, then have to go BACK into the camera app to retake and repeat jumping between apps..
Is there a setting I have on that's causing this?
This function (or lack of) really just doesn't make any sense.
You need to go reset the default app that's associated. For example, I previously had clicked that preview picture and opened with (and set to default) Google photos, which only shows one picture and does not swipe. I went into google photos and cleared defaults, then went back into the camera app and clicked the preview picture. I then selected gallery and it allows me to swipe through all my pictures.

google Photo (& gallery), only photos from camera/screenshots showing

SOLUTION: update to OxygenOS 3.1.3 or higher
___________________________________________
hi, I have a OP3, but in the app "google photos" and in the "gallery" only the pictures shot with my OP3 are showing, including screenshots.
So I'm missing my whatsapp pictures (using GBwhatsapp) photos stored in: internalStorage/GBWhatsapp/media/GBwhatsappImages
als missing downloaded pictures (download with chrome & slimsocial app), phones stored in:
internalStorage/pictures
internalStorage/Download
I've read that more people can't find their photos (download or from other apps) in the Google photo's app,
If I look in device folders I only see my screenshot.
Are there more people with this problem? or Am I doing something wrong?
In the past I used QuickPic, I tried that and it's working fine, displays all my pictures/videos!
But I prefer google photo, so I'd rather have that working.
No one with the same problem?
Open menu in Google Folders on the side, and choose: local folders.
does it help?

I updated to OxygenOS 3.1.3 and the problem is fixed

Camera/Gallery

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.
