Album App no longer default after taking photos

[DeejayKnight]

Hello everyone!

When I initially got the Z1s, any time I used the camera and tapped the image in the bottom right, the Album app would open. Somewhere along the line, Google's Photos app took over, and I've found that I much prefer the previous app.

Where would I make a change in my settings to open the Album app after taking photos instead of the Photos app? I can't find any options that will allow me to do this.

Settings-apps-all-google photos,clear defaults.

Sadly, going to Settings > Apps > All in Sony's launcher proved uneventful, as the Photos app can't be found as either "Photos" or "Google Photos". It may be under "com.google" somewhere, but that's dumb either way.

I opened Apex launcher and long-pressed, then dragged the icon of Photos onto the "App Info" option, then cleared defaults. Works fine.

Thanks for sending me on the right path, alexdon!

Exact issue April had, on Z1 Compact Kitkat... Except all fixes listed here did not work for me, including clearing cache from recent app launcher
