Two Photo Editor apps

Majirefy — Thu, 14 May 2015 10:29:04 GMT

Recently my Z3c(D5833, bought in HK) got a update for Photo Editor and I installed it immediatly.

However, when I go to Album and click the Editor button for a photo, the pop over menu shows two Photo Editor apps.

First one is with the old style(Android 4.4) icon and interface, and I can tell it is the original one from 4.4. Version: 23.1.A.0.2. The namespace of this app is: com.sony.china.photoeditor.

Another is with the new style(Android 5.0) icon and interface, and it is the new one I got update today. Version: 5.0.A.0.12. The namespace of this app is: com.sony.photoeditor.

Apparently, the old one should be replaced by the new, but I don't know how to uninstall the old one. Functionality of each one is just the same, but there are still some improvements of the new one, and I really appreciate the new 5.0 style interface!

Is anyone could help me?

Thanks in advance!

I find the same on my Z3 Dual, both editors with same details.

No difference with Icon and Interface?

Of course with different icons and interface, the new interface has a sliding separator style to show difference between edited and original photos. I meant I have the same issue as you.

Maybe this app was originally developed in China, but now Sony decided to develop it on his own.

It seems impossible to remove the old one without rooting your device.

Yeah I thried clearing cache and data of Album app but nothing happened. I also tried going in the old photo editor app page, there's no disable button and no defaults set.
