Hi,
I just flashed the MIUI Rom(see version below) a week ago and I'm having an issue with pictures. Most of the pictures I took before I changed ROMs I saved to the phone storage because my SD card is only 4GB. The problem is since I've changed to this new ROM I can't view the pictures on the phone storage in the gallery app. The preview box shows up in the gallery app for the pictures on the phone storage(path is G:\DCIM\100MEDIA on the computer) but when I select it nothing happens. The only thing the gallery app is reading is any pics on the SD card. Is anyone else having this issue? Can anyone help me out here??? Thanks.
Android version - 2.3.5
Baseband version - 2.15.00.09.01
Kernel version - 2.6.36.6-cyanogenmod+
Build number MIUI-109230
It is a known issue for MIUI US. I think a workaround would be to use a file explorer, but I can't really tell you since I keep my pictures on my 2 gb SD card.

Thanks for the response. Guess I'll post something in the MIUI thread and see if they can do something about it.

I have noticed that when I am flashing a rom or mod that has the updated google 3d gallery in it, I have pictures and videos that are being deleted from my external sd card. The first time it happened I thought it was a fluke. The second time I thought there was something wrong with my card and I replaced it. I flashed an updated rom and theme this morning and sure enough all of my video files and a lot of my pictures were deleted from the sdcard. This seems to happen when I first launch the gallery3d. It doesn't see the folders with the pictures and video. Has anybody else noticed this happening to them? If I am the only one then I am going to have my phone replaced but if it has happened to others, I would like to find out why and how to stop it. I am not saying that it is the gallery3d app that causes this, it is just when I flash a rom or theme with it is when it happens. This could be a samsung issue(we know they have had issues with sd cards in the past) or it could be my phone. That is what I am hoping to find out. This has happened on EL29. EL26, and EL13 that I am aware of.
Hmmm... A bad problem indeed. I can tell you that sometimes the ROMs you download add some files to the sd card. Calks ROM for example adds a file with removed apps. Do you have your things saved in a file with the same name? It may be replacing it automatically when you flash a new ROM. Check the ROMS changelog and see if this is the problem...
The only other thing I can think of is maybe your sd card is getting full and the ROMs files don't fit so it replaces files.
Also try using some kind of root explorer to confirm whether the files are really gone, or your phone just can't "see" them.

They are pretty unique files names. I have one called bg that has background wallpaper pictures in them. And the files were indeed gone. I pulled the sd card and put in the reader on my pc to confirm this. I have no idea what is happening.
Hello there. I'm having an issue with gallery. I manually moved over a picture to the virtual sd card, but gallery doesn't pick it up. It doesn't matter where I put it, the root, Pictures, even the folder where the nexus places photos taken from the camera. I can see it in a file explorer and can even open with gallery from there. But if I open the gallery app the picture is nowhere to be found.
I've tried deleting gallery's cache but to no avail. I'm on the Android Revolution HD 2.1.4 rom. Is anybody with the stock rom having this problem, or have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try rebooting, it worked for me before
I was on 4.0.2 and my drivers weren't allowing me today to transfer anything to SD card when using my USB on computer i went to gummy 4.0.3 reloaded the drivers restarted computer and working flawlessly

Thanks for the replies, I've tried rebooting, no luck. My problems aren't with moving things to the virtual sd card, but viewing the pictures in gallery after I've done so
This has happened to me with music files. Rebooting the phone after I have copied/moved the files in the designated folder fixes the visibility issue for me

Maybe your SD card is messed up. That leads to problems with gallery and music apps sometimes. Connect your phone to your computer in disk drive mode, copy everything on the SD card to your computer, format your SD card to fat32 with 32KB cluster (if you use Windows, uncheck quick format and let it do the slow full format) , then copy everything back from your computer to the SD card. Delete the .thumbnails folder in DCIM.
Clear data of gallery again and see if the problem still happens.

Hey guys I have a very annoying issue. My gallery app doesnt show up my pictures in my sd card. I moved pictures by file explorer of its own, and they all are gone from gallery app. Although it doensnt show the pics that are moved , it shows the pictures freshly taken into external sd card . But it doesnt show the pics I moved into it. The other fact is that when I unmount the sd card and mount it again, even the freshly taken pictures dissappear.!! but after that I shoot some more and they show up but old pics never shows up. My sd card is new and I have no other issue apart from this ( its class 10 , 32 gb ,kingston micro sd card.! please helppp !! (

Can you still find the pictures in the file explorer ? What folder did you move them to ?
Try downloading quikpic gallery and see if it finds them
They all exist in external sd cad and I can easily find em all just going through file explorer. I can find an open them there. They all in the folder that camera app creates. But gallery doesnt show them

What folder do you have them saved in ? If you have a DCIM folder on the ext card it will find them if they are put in there
They all in dcim buddy but yeah I tried what you told me and downloaded quickpic gallery and it showed my pics up as long as I put a tick on ''show hidden files'' . But I have no clue why would they be hidden. They all appears when im lookin around file explorer. Lets think about it

Seems odd to me. For some reason it thinks they should be hidden. Normally the media scanner would pick them up. Are the formatted differently ?
I dont know which format it is but recently after having had this problem , i formatted it in storage menu of settings. And I put the files back on it but no sign of pictures in gaplery.but yeah thanks for quick pic app! At least it shows them all! But i need to find a way to get my gallery to work properly again
Have you cleared the data/cache for the gallery?

Yes , i did ot at my first try .but the same . I think my gallery app is kinda broken down for some reason.it seems to be working very well but, it has problem with external card. Maybe i should replace it but donno where to find it. I found some but they all are modified , not the original ones
Got to be a card issue. Move pics to internal or hard drive and format the card and see if it helps.

Hey guys Ive come up with news. I flashed succesfully synergy rom into my phone. And gallery had no problem showing pictures on my external sd card. After then I restore all the apps and datas through titanium backup that i used to backup all apps and datas from previous system . AND guess what ? Gallery has started not to show up the pictures in external again. I think an app is causing this but i dont know how to find out

My general rule of thumb is only use titanium to restore apps sparingly. I just keep an ext SD card with apks of the apps I want to install that aren't on market and use the playstore for all other. Flash synergy again and then do an app and check gallery, rinse and repeat. Might be tedious but worth it.
I used to have 2.3.6 GB stock ROM and flashed THIS JB 4.3 ROM Everything works fine but my Gallery app doesn't want to show my old pics at all... When I shoot new photos they are fine.. But my phone recognizes my OLD photos as VIDEO FILES and when I try to open them it asks me what app to use to open them showing video apps. This thread looks like the closest one to my problem. I hope someone can find a solution to this other than using another gallery apk.
(I can see and open my old photos using file explorer)

Thanks for any effort..
Try out fish bowl gallery app and unlock all pics . They ll show up in gallery after this

Ever since I upgraded to the KitKat 4.4.2 OTA, apps on my phone cannot my find SD card.
When I go into the phone settings it is definitely there but apps don't see it, not even root explorer.
Any help/ideas on this?

Perfect - thanks!
Mine is doing something weird as well. Sorry if I don't' explain this correctly.
When the update went through my phone stopped seeing all media on the SD card. I have my camera set to store pics on the SD card. When I open up the gallery, it doesn't see the pictures I took before the update. Any new pictures I take are saved to the SD card still and I'm able to see them in the gallery. It's weird because they're being saved to the same DCIM folder as old pictures (if I only took one picture since the update, it will say I only have 1 pic in that folder). The only way I'm able to see the old pics is to move the entire DCIM folder to the main storage. I tried using Quikpic and even chose the folder that all pics are stored in and it still can't see them.
MX Player can't see any movies i have on the SD card.
Music get's a little weird. Using Google Music and Player Pro, I can't listen to music on the SD card. If I use Poweramp, it has no problem at all seeing the music there.
When I open the Files app, I can see everything on the SD card, if I select a picture, it'll ask me if I want to open it in the gallery, movies ask me if I want to use MX Player. I can open them on my own, but apps won't find them.
