That images are usually saved by an application you installed previously..
Make sure no apps uses that images, and eventually consider uninstalling it

Pictures not showing up in Gallery

My photos are on my SD card but showing up in my gallery. This happen yesterday after I swapped out my battery for a new one. Also I can't my downloaded photos too. Its like all the albums in the gallery disappeared. Also phone has done some random reboots. I'm running vicious 8/8 cm10. Didn't know if this has happened to anyone else and know of a fix.

The problem is ROM Manager. Try uninstalling the updates for ROM Manager and clearing the data in media. Then reboot and wait 30 minutes.
If you can delete ROM Manager all together that's even better.

The problem is also with .nomedia file.
OP: What you need to do is update the ROM manager to the latest version, use file manager (any is fine) to go to sdcard root directory and then delete .nomedia file. After that, clear Media Storage data. Reboot. Sometimes, it takes up to 30 minutes for gallery to read all the pictures, but for me, it was done in like 5 minutes.

Do you know when will the issue with Rom manager will be resolved ?
EDIT: Checked the change log on ROM manager. Looks like its been addressed. I uninstalled then reinstalled and so far all is well.

It's already been resolved. You need to update ROM manager and delete the .nomedia file from the root of your SD card. Clear data from media storage and reboot. They'll come back but it could take an hour or two.

Gallery keeps crashing

Sorry am new at this so might sound stupid. My camera folder through gallery in galaxy nexus ( flashed to maguro takju build 4.1.1) is
Crashing repeatedly whenever accessed from either any app or directly . Although other apps like es explorer are able to open the folder and show the pics fine. Also there is no problem in taking the pictures. Earlier I had simply deleted all the pictures from the camera folder and it seemed to work but again it has started to crash. It opens for a few seconds and then auto closes to main screen. Please advice.

Can you please clear data and clear cache from the Gallery App Info screen.
How to reach App Info Screen: Settings->Apps->Swipe Left to Reach All tab-> Scroll down to Gallery and open. This is the App Info screen of the Gallery App. Here click on clear data and clear cache.
Try opening the Gallery App to see if this solves the problem.

I just did that, but it still crashes after a second of opening the camera folder. The other folders work just fine when being accessed through gallery view. I cannot access camera folder through my gallery app for more than a second.

Can you pls backup whatever you have in the DCIM folder and delete the entire DCIM folder and let the Camera App recreate it. We shall see if this solves it.
And btw which ROM are you on?

Don't recreate. Let the app do that.

I had this same issue for a day or two but it got corrected on its own, I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything myself to fix it. But maybe I'm lucky?
I'm on complete stock btw!

Thank you thank you all.
It seems to be working for now. The camera created the folder and i took some 30 pics to test it with and seems to be working. I also changed the default folder for camera 360 to a separate location just to be safe.
It seems to be working fine now.

Almost the same
Carrier: Verizon
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Nexus S 4g
Android: 4.2.2
Rom: Stock?
I recently updated Android 4.2.2 on my device and have not been able to launch the camera or open any apps that use the camera since. I performed a factory restart, upon initial boot at the welcome screen I am promoted that the Gallery and Google Talk have stopped. I have tried multiple factory restarts, installing different camera apps, clearing data on the gallery app and creating a test app all of which produce the same result, app crash as soon as interacting with the camera.
In my test app I am able to get the Following error to print out in LogCat
03-25 23:56:19.701: E/CameraHAL(129): Couldn't get camera properties
Not sure what to do next

Try to clear the cache, it may works.

Jelly Bean Gallery not showing sdcard photos

I had flashed the AOKP build 1 ROM last week. Among other issues, the Gallery app was not showing any images from the sdcard. I then did a nandroid restore back to Bugless Beast. But the Gallery app is still not showing sdcard photos. If I add any new photo, that is showing up in Gallery after sometime; but not existing photos.
How do I solve this? Is there any way to force the Gallery app to scan sdcard for media and pick up the images?
note -
1) Gallery app worked fine before flashing AOKP
2) I don't have .nomedia in my pictures folder and they show up fine in quickpic
3) I still need Gallery to work, as apparently the app 'bump' depends on it. Bump doesn't detect pictures, if Gallery doesn't.
Any suggestions?

I'd bet if you look at the folder or root in astro or root explorer you'll see a file named ".nomedia" somewhere. It might take a little while until the scan occurs for the pictures to show up.

Apparently it has something to do with ROM manager. If you have it installed, uninstall it and redownload from the CWM website and install it again. Reboot and it should be fine. It worked for me when I had this problem.

Nope, no .nomedia files involved. Else they wouldn't have showed up in quickpic either. I anyway checked with root browser too, with 'show hidden file' checked. No .nomedia file.

I uninstalled the ROM manager and rebooted. No effect. I then cleared cache and data of Gallery and Media Storage and rebooted. Let Gallery run its scan for sometime. Now it is showing a few picture folders of the sdcard. And a lot of 'place holder' dark grey tiles with no images in them. Guess it is still scanning. But it's been almost an hour now. Still scanning...!!!??
Will update later if everything shows up.

1. Disable the Media Scanner
2. Use FX Explorer to go to the Folder and select rescan folder.

When you say clockworkmod, are you referring to the recovery or the apk?
Thanks

Update -
After clearing cache/data of gallery and media storage and rebooting, Gallery ran its scan for some time and now it is showing all images. So, that's the solution. :good:

Gallery is Acting Up?

Recently loaded some wallpapers into my internal storage.
Some of them don't appear-- they show up as black boxes.
I've tried going into Apps and Clearing Cache/Clearing Data for the Gallery app.
But to no avail.

Everyone uses QuickPic, and this is one reason why.

This happened to me too, it ended up corrupting my other images and videos

Just installed QuickPic, same problem.

ES shows me thumbnails of the pictures, but doesn't allow me to open them.
This is a very interesting problem.

No problems here.
What rom are you using?
Try clearing data for Media Storage then reboot.

I'm using the latest CM10 nightly.
I cleared the data then rebooted and couldn't even get my Gallery to open.
Had to Nandroid backup to get everything running again.
