The merger app gives you a convenient way to merge your multiple portrait shots taken by GCam (Google camera).
Exisiting Issue:--
Some GCam build having save to DCIM portrait option but with a risk of getting loose, and it is evident that the users who enable the option, portrait shots are disappeared after some time once clicked (perm deleted)
Solution(Merger APP):--
GCam portrait merger app lets you take all your portrait folders files and merge it to your camera primary folder in a single click
Take Away:--
Now your all photos are in the same primary camera folder, get rid of multiple folders creation
Note:-- disable the save to DCIM for a portrait in your GCam setting if you are facing the issue.
I am actively developing the project, like auto merger without user intervention, the preview of all the portraits, manual selection, etc.
Any kind of suggestions or feature request are welcome, do let me know the experience.

Great work @NullPointer :good:
Works fine, thanks @NullPointer
Perfect, thanks!
Thanks for the app! Just one note, I noticed the app change last modified date of the file, is it possible to have the app not changing that data? I guess that's because the app actually copy the file instead of moving, anyway is really good, worst case I can adjust that data myself or just sort images by acquisition date

I would like to ask this one thing that this problem is mostly faced by the non-google photos users right?

Its because of cache file created at the time of photo taken, I will look into this. Thanks for giving feedback.

Very good app. Only one small suggestion, I'd add an option to save portrait photos into the folder DCIM/Camera/Portrait like we did on previous versions of GCam before the removal of the option due to broken photos?
And, maybe, when there will be a bit more options, make it open source on GitHub

@Urnyx05 sure I will add an option to create your own folder where you can move your portrait shots.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will open-source it soon.

Struggling to replace dodgy gallery with quickpic on JB 4.1.2 so that the camera uses quickpic as the default viewer.
Tried freezing gallery, when I click on photo in camera nothing happens. Set default app for photos to be quickpic and the camera still uses gallery.
Any ideas. ..?
Sent via TCP/IP
The first thing I do with a new device is ditch the Gallery in favor of QuicPic.
If you're rooted, no problem just delete the Gallery. If not, go to Settings/Applications/All/Gallery/ and click on Clear Defaults. Next time you view a picture select QuickPic and click on Clear Defaults.

If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.

Thanks guys but not working. Uninstalled gallery. Clicked on a picture, chose quickpic, cleared defaults. When I click on a photo using the camera nothing happens, it's like the camera is hardcoded to use old gallery.will try installing stock camera and trying that

Is it possible to rename quickpic to the same name as old gallery and put it in the system folder?

Thats my question too, but with the nexus 4 gallery.
any solution?
-anyone tried the renaming idea, as suggested?
My guess is the two apps function differently and so google has changed our ability to use quickpic from the JB camera. Why? Think about it - if you use the camera from the lockscreen by swiping to the right, you can take a pic and review it without entering a password and unlocking your phone. But reviewing a pic this way gives you very limited options (eg you CANNOT set it as wall paper, nor can you email it or send it, which if you Could, would be a sneaky security flaw that would enable access into a locked device).
This means google has rewritten gallery to function differently according to whether it has been accessed via the camera from the lockscreen or whether you have accessed the camera after unlocking the device.
Quickpic probably doesn't have that ability, but I wish it DID!
I dunno - MAYBE WE ALL SHOULD EMAIL THE MAKERS OF QUICKPIC AND REQUEST THAT IT BE UPDATED SO AS T WORK WITH THE STOCK CAMERA?
Quickpic is an awesome app and it's way better than the stock gallery app!
when you disable gallery in apps manager it disables both the gallery and camera which means that their obvously linked together. they are both separate apks but still both part of the same app therefore meaning that it wouldnt really be possible to do it i dont think unless you were to modify the gallery app yourself you might be able to do it but would be hard XD from what i can think the camera apk kinda acts like a link if you think about it as opposed to its own app.
QuickPic cannot view TIFF files. I have alot of them copied from my PC to the SD card and cannot find a viewer that can see both those and the Jpegs. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm about to smash my Photon and I need some help. I recently upgraded to peetr's custom 2.3.5 hybrid ROM so I could use TMobil. The only camera app I can get to work with photobucket uploading is the stock camera. I've tried 3 other camera apps, and every time I select "photobucket" as the "Share this photo" destination, I get the "Media added to photobucket queue" message....and that's it. No uploading. No errors, nothing. If I use the stock camera to take a pic and select photobucket, it uploads just fine.
The problem is, the stock camera is tied into "Gallery ICS" and I can't separate them. In my previous setup, when I took a pic with the stock camera, then clicked on that pic in the bottom left corner, the pic would pop up full screen and I could check it out and upload or delete it.
In peetrs ROM, when I take a pic and then click on it, it opens Gallery ICS, which then shows me a thumbnail of every fricking folder anywhere on my camera I have a photo saved. WTF? I don't understand why anyone could possibly want that behavior from a camera app, but whatever. I've scoured the settings and I can't find any way to stop Gallery ICS from popping up when I want to view a pic in the camera.
Does anyone know how to fix the photobucket uploading issue or force the camera to just let me view a pic when I click on it?

Just a thought that you could try actually searching the the first post of this ROMS thread. The answer is right there under the optional APKs.
BlurCamera with gallery choice - mainly for Quickpic (pictures must be on internal SD)
That should hopefully fix your issue. I'll test with my photobucket to see if I can make it upload.

I have the new camera working, but when I click on a pic to view it, I get "Media Gallery not installed". This happens regardless of which storage location is selected (internal or SD). Am I supposed to install something else?

QuickPic was already installed before I "upgraded" the camera. I can launch QuickPic fine, but this new camera app doesn't give me the option to select a gallery, just an error when I click on a pic. Any other ideas?

If you can't set the photo gallery that launches, I would just move on to trying a different/previous camera. Can you go to manage apps and clear any defaults that would be causing it to only use that gallery?
Sorry, wish I could be more help.

Yes, I've cleared data, it did nothing. I really don't understand how this replacement camera is supposed to work, if it even does. Has anyone here successfully swapped out their stock camera with the one linked in the first post and have it working? If so, could you please respond?
This is the most frustrated I've been in 3 years, 2 cameras and a dozen roms. The stock camera and Camera ICS on this rom blinds everything with the flash making them unusable. This replacement camera doesn't blind everything with the flash, but it throws this damn "Media Gallery not installed" error. I just want crap back like it was, where I had a stock camera with a flash that didn't blind everything and let me open pics to view them without showing me every picture gallery on the camera. Of course I can't go back to that rom since I flashed the KDDI radio.
I accidently deleted, and I don't even know how, a stock photo editor, so if somebody could just upload a backup for this apk, or give me a link, i would be most thankfull
Same problem.I install Quick Gallery problem solved....
Thanks, but that's not what I want. I'm looking for the editor that comes with the phone (lg g2 mini), i really liked it, it has some cool features and i'd like it back... And btw, is that editor comes within the gallery app or those two are separate apps?
I think you need google+ app installed to edit pictures in stock.
I know it sounds strange, it's Google making you use their products

There's a world of difference between enabled and installed.
When I uninstall it the editing features are gone, reinstalling brings the feature back.

I'm sure some of y'all used a iPhone before.
When you use the camera app, Snapchat, Instagram, whatsapp, Facebook camera.
The quality is the same.
But if you do the same with SOME Android phone. Especially if it has dual cameras than you get mix results.
With a dual camera like the v30 you can't pick the default camera to open on a app.
(ex: whatsapp uses the wide angle and instagram uses the normal camera)
The camera quality is horrible! "ex: camera quality looks burry on instagram"
Is there a way over this?

Use the app's ability to choose from Gallery. I always do that. EVERY app like Facebook, WhatsApp lets you choose from your Gallery.
The only time I use an app to actually take a picture is for my banking app to deposit checks. (Some apps will even let you choose from ANYWHERE on your phone, like Download folder through a file explorer but Facebook does not -- it only lets you choose Gallery.
Just this morning I went into WhatsApp to verify the exact steps. You choose the "camera" symbol, then from there you can either take a picture or "swipe up for Gallery". It's written right there on the page in WhatsApp interface.
When I choose from the Gallery, I know the picture is exactly the way I want it, cropped right, etc. With the LG V30, you would then have also chosen which of the three cameras you wanted to take the picture with -- either of the two front cameras or the selfie camera.

The problem with that is it won't let me use the app special filters so it kinda kills the point of the app.

The phone camera does have filters to make shots look better... There's a couple of threads in this forum devoted to that.
But you're right -- you're not going to have the comic filters and stuff.
I have a question about my wife's F1.
I just noticed that she doesn't use a proper app to view the gallery (i.e., view photos taken on her device). When she takes a photo, she can look at it by selecting it in the stock camera app at the bottom. Then, when she wants to look for more photos taken in the past, she flicks through the photos ONE BY ONE (I think this is still the camera app).
Now, there is also a stock gallery app (it's called "Photos" in English, I assume). Why the hell is this not linked up to the camera app in the first place? The follow-up question would be, how do I configure the camera app to always use "Photos" for viewing pictures taken?
Thanks guys for any advice!

No, this is definitely not Google Photos. She doesn't use that - and I know how it looks. This was just some kind of image preview. Definitely not a gallery.
In a gallery, you can see many photos at once, and scroll through days/weeks/months, select photos, share them, etc.
Other people on the internet mention a shortcut to the gallery in the stock camera app of the F1, but from what I can tell, nothing like that here. Maybe I can post a picture later.
No one here has experienced this? Or maybe knows how to change the gallery app?

Even if you set Google Photos as the default app... The Camera interface opens the default gallery.
