Flashed gapps to get working gallery with picasa sync, but still having an issue - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I flashed Viscous JB Rom to my Verizon GNEX, and everything went relatively well. The only issue was the gallery wasn't working. I could only see local storage, not my picasa/google+ web albums. I did some searching and found gapps "JRO03C GApps Package 08/11/12". It claimed to fix the gallery and it sort of did. Now I can see my picasa/google+ web albums, but for whatever reason, I can't do anything with the photos beyond viewing them. If I try to edit them using aviary for example, it says, "Cannot download photo at this time". If I try upload them to facebook or instagram, the app just does nothing upon selecting the photo. It appears to be a problem with the URI used to fetch the photo, but I'm not even sure of that. Our nexus 7 tablet is running the exact same version of gallery as i flashed, and it can do any of those functions flawlessly, so I don't think its the gallery version (1.1.40000). Is there a separate photo picker in android that I can flash somehow? Any suggestions? Upload works fine. This is a big problem for me because I have thousands of photos in my picasa web albums and use them pretty regularly.

Gallery problem

Hi. I only got issue with my gallery app.
It wont load all images in folders. Wallpapers nor all icons. I loads some fine, and videos and picasa too.
Tried refreshing and clearing cache. Also refreshMedia in FX fileexplorer.
Sendt fra min Galaxy Nexus
It shows images downloaded from web or dropbox. But not the unzipped images or copied from pc.
Sendt fra min Galaxy Nexus
Hey having a similar issue. My gallery app is only displaying photos I've taken with the camera, but not any other image files found on my SD card.
Currently running GummyNex rom.
The only method i know is to do a media scan.
If your phone is rooted you can use SAMBA to request a media scan.
Not rooted.
Tried scan in fx explorer.
No luck
Tried Settings->Apps->All-> Gallery-> Clear data?
I just had literally the opposite problem. My Gallery would show no photos on the device- just the online albums.
A "Clear Data" (in settings) and "Force Stop" fixed it. Still odd though. Also, pictures were still there, it was just like Gallery couldn't read the internal storage...
Shows sine. But not folders in folders
Hey guys, I had issues too with my gallery so I just went to market and installed Quickpic! I will never use the default Android gallery again. It is flawless and has lots of features. Hope this helps.
This is a workaround i think

Hello there I'm having a similar problem where if I move a jpg anywhere into the internal storage manually, including to where the camera stores images, the pictures do not show up in the gallery. I've also tried quickpic with no results. Thoughts?

GNEX CM10 Share from PicasaWeb (Gallery) problem.

Posting here although this issue is not confined to the GNex. I also have a Kindle Fire running CM10 with the same issue. We have 2 Gnex phones with CM10 (stable build). All three devices are running the GAPPS package that replaces the CM10 Gallery app with the standard version that allows syncing of Picasa albums.
Problem: I cannot share the photos from a Picasa album to any other app - Facebook, G+ etc. In the G+ app, it just places a blank photo into the post.
I have a Xoom (not running CM) and this works as expected with regards to sharing from the Gallery.
I've tried deleting Gallery.APK and re-installing. I have tried upgrading the ROM to CM10.1 - same problem. The only "solution" I can find on the web so far is to do a complete wipe and re-flash. Hoping someone else has a better idea.

[Q] FB albums in gallery?

Hello guys! Greetings from a newcomer to these forums!
I would like to know if any of you know how to get rid of the facebook albums that appeared in my gallery on my S3. i've tried conventional tactics like trying to delete, unsync, etc...but to no avail.
Also, is there any way to set where a certain file ends up such as where a picture goes when you take a picture with the camera app? I've moved the folder where the picture gets sent too via the "My Files" icon and moved that folder to my SD card but when i take a picture it still ends up in a new folder on my phone memory.
One more question. I have a Picasas album which I cannot delete as well in my gallery, any advice?
Apologize in advance about all the questions and I appreciate your responses!
You even get your picasa web albums... even if you tell it not to sync albums in sync settings. So I froze the default gallery, and use QuickPic as my daily driver.

Exactly what I did. I fooled around for 25 minutes trying to remove that extra junky: Samsung failed hard here. QuickPic is great: fast and you can pick which folders to show!

[Q] Gallery version that will sync Google+/Picasa

I am running liquidsmooth right now and am stuck with the gallery that wont sync with web albums (I find it odd that there is even an option to sync google+ pictures if they wont show up in the gallery). Can somebody help me with the correct apk to get the gallery that will synch with web albums? Also, if I go to the old gallery, will it break the filmstrip capability of the 4.2.2 camera?
This is the one I have been using. I just flash in recovery. It does show me 2 galleries and 2 cameras after. But doesn't bother me.
Try this

Perfect, thanks

[Q] Trouble Syncing Gallery Photos Across Devices

Hey. This should be a really simple thing to set up, but apparently it's not. I have a Galaxy S4 phone and have recently purchased the Nexus 7 to replace my old tablet. All I want to do is have these two devices sync photos with one another, so that the gallery app on each device displays the same content. I'm trying to do this via Google+ as this should be the easiest method.
On my phone I have various albums within the gallery, sorted into different folders on the SD card. In G+ I have the Auto-Backup option ON and my photos and videos are synced and appear here. But they are not organised into the albums I have them in on my phone. G+ on my phone says I've used 7.4GB of my allowance.
Now when I go to G+ on my Nexus 7, and go to the Photos section, it doesn't find anything. However it does find my videos for some reason, but no photos at all. This seems odd since it's the same app, just accessed from two different devices. Now if I go to the gallery app on the Nexus, an album does show up called 'Auto Backup'. But this contains only my most recent photos taken and all my videos.
So G+ isn't consistent between the two devices and neither is the gallery app. This seems to me like something that should be very easy to achieve - I'm wondering if the gallery app I use on my phone is a Samsung version of the stock Android app and is possibly causing problems. But G+ has uploaded everything to my account so it should be accessible from any device, right?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Hm, that sounds odd... Works for me on my LG Spectrum 2 and Nexus 7 perfectly fine.
So I'm right to think those arrangements should work fine? I've not missed something?
