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
Hey Guys,
I'm having a problem since i first rooted my Nexus GSM: When using the camera, the clicking sound appears, but there is no new thumb in the corner and no picture saved in the DCIM/Camera folder. If I'm trying to do a video, the app crashes.
If somebody sends me a picture in Whatsapp, I see the litte thumb, but if i click it, nothing happens (and of course - no picture is saved on the phone).
I check the permessions for the camera and the DCIM-folder and I let the RecoveryMod fix all permissions. Do you have any idea what could have gone wrong?
First I installed Revolution HD ROM, today I did a reset and installed AOKP ROM. Problem stays the same.
I hope you can help me!
EDIT: Checked data & media, too.. everything is rwxrwx--x
Ok, I fixed it.
If anybodye else got this problem: I simply deleted the DCIM & WhatsApp-Folder.
Don't know why i didn't try that before -.-
Sorry guys
permissions the cause
hi, i had the same problem. PERMISSIONS SEEM TO BE THE ISSUE....
I backed up and restored my memory with the tool kit.
Under "BACK UP OPTIONS" i selected "3. backup you Internal Storage [virtual SD Card]"
The only way i have been able to get around it is by changing the name of the dcim folder as i was unable to delete it.
note: i have also had various other problems with other apps. these apps had folders that were restored via the toolkit. in some cases all i had to do was rename the permission locked application folders. in other cases i had to rename their folder and create a new one with the original naming and sub folders

From what I read this was a problem with an update ROM manager got that is now fixed. Some people said that installing PowerAmp from the Play store fixed this issue. Personally, I deleted the file called ".nomedia" from the ROOT of the SD card and then copied my media folders (pictures and music) to my laptop. I then deleted those same folders from the phone and then copied them back to the phone and everything shows up fine. Hope this helps you!
Still more new threads! lol :cyclops:
MMuzzy i hope you read this or someone who can help me. I just put on your 11.26 build of 4.2, used the superwipe and factory reset. I know about the new /0 SD card partition but I cant seem to get my old camera gallery and my new camera gallery to merge. I tried moving all my pictures to the new gallery folder and that didnt work, now my old pictures dont come up in my gallery even when i moved them back to the original folder. Is there anyway to get these to show or do i have to just store them on my computer and restart my picture collection?
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
