I have some photos in my SD card which showed up properly in the gallery before. However, all those photos don't show up after I flashed a new Rom. Only photos taken after flashing are showed in the gallery. I tried to reboot, wipe cache, rescan media but nothing success.
Any one can help?

Yes, because different Roms use different folders for gallery. Just take a picture and browse your card and see where it puts it (somewhere in DCIM folder). After locating the folder just move the photos from old folder to the new one where your picture was taken and you should now see all your photos.(Some roms put pictures in folder named "100Andro", other in "pictures", "images", "camera".....

Yes, I toke a testing picture, located the new folder "Camera" and move all old photos to there. But still just the testing picture is shown up. All moved old pictures are still missing in the gallery. Already reboot to renew the media library.
Can you try using a 3rd party pic viewer I use quickpic, which seems to work well.

You should try Rescan Media in google play.

Thanks. I also used quick pic and it loads all pictures. But I prefer SE stock gallery as there is a geo map function, so wanna sort out a solution.

try some of these
- clear all defaults for the gallery app
- clear all data
- take out and put back in sd card
- make another gallery app the default and then reboot, clear defaults and revert default back to the stock gallery app

I recently flashed my EVO from CM6 over to the alpha Gingerbread Rom. No issues there, love the new ROM but one thing I noticed was that anytime I scroll over to my Gallery, it says I do not have any pics or vids to view. Same issue when i go to my music app, no music. But I can open up Linda Manager or File Manager and all my pics, vids, and music is there. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I am lost!

What folder are they are in on your SD card? And when you take new pictures do they show up in the gallery or not their either? It may be that the Gallery is somehow not detecting pictures, or the old pictures are just not in a place where it can.
HELP!!
I am having this same problem with my phone. I am rooted with unrevoked 3 and now when I take a pic it will show up in my gallery until i reboot my phone then they dont. I can plug my phone up to my computer and they are in the DCMI folder on my sd card. When I unplug my phone from the computer and go back in to my phone they are not there. What would be causing this? I have not put any roms on my phone or changed any kernels.
It's probably a really odd SD card issue. Try going into settings & unmounting then mounting the sd card again. If that doesn't work it could be an issue with the media scanner. Download an app that lets you manually run the media scanner. I know Widgetsoid 2.x has a media scanner toggle. If you can't find another way, download the app & make a 1x1 toggle widget with the media scanner, apply, and tap it.
If that doesn't work, I'm stumped.
I tried that but I couldnt get the widget to actually do anything. Thank you though
I believe the sdcard is the cause, because I've had a similar issue myself and fixed it. I would suggest either re-flashing the rom, or backing up your sdcard and then formatting it, and copy it back over. Also, if you have, in particular, a folder with a lot of pictures in it, I had one with like 300+ because it was an animation, that too slowed it down.
Did you check the folders to make sure there aren't .nomedia files in them? I'm not quite sure how they would get there unless an app put them there.
Have you removed any system files? If so, you could've removed something that keeps the media scanner from running, or possibly removed the media scanner altogether.
Last idea - have you tried opening the files from the sd card to their respective apps? Open the images with the gallery & maybe they'll show up?
Last, last idea - if you're using stock apps, try downloading a third party gallery and/or music player. I use QuickPic, it's fast & caches images so if you can get them to show up in app, they should remain after a reboot.
I'm tapped out of ideas :/
Hello.

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.

It shows images downloaded from web or dropbox. But not the unzipped images or copied from pc.

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?

Anybody at all got anything on this?
I have made a reset for my Nexus and then when I have opened the gallery I see that it didn't recognize my photos in the DCIM folder and also 3rd apps like flayvur don't recognize the photos too.
Not only with the photos also with the play Music when I opened it didn't recognize any music it just show up "add music, copy music to your phone with a USB cable"
Don't know why is this fool, when I open the ES File Explorer my photos my mp3 are there and they are working well so what's this!

If you are rooted, use RESCAN MEDIA ROOT from Play store, it should do the job

Morning All,
I have just had to reset my galaxy note 2 to factory settings. I recovered my account using google, and copied all my photos etc back across.
Anyway the stock gallery app is not displaying all my media like photos and videos, they are definatly on the phone as using a file explorer app i can locate them no problem. I have tried moving them to a different folder, ie media instead of pictures but they still will not show in gallery.
I have also tried a 3rd party gallery app to no avail.
The device isnt rooted and is using android 4.4.2
Muchos appreciate your help
Chris

Friends,
I have a non-rooted LG G4 (H818p).
The LG gallery app has always worked well... until yesterday.
All of a sudden, it simply started not showing the images on the internal storage (i.e. WhatsApp images, WhatsApp videos, and others).
The folders with the respective images and videos are still there. I can acess them and view them through the file manager. But the LG gallery app simply won't show them.
I have checked that there is no ".nomedia" files in the repective folders...
What can I do?
Any suggestions will be very welcome...
Clean data on media storage and reboot all will be fine

Thanks for the help.
Did it... still no good...
It's only showing images that are on the SD Card, nothing from internal storage...
Had tried that before. Did it again... still nothing.
Other suggestions?
P.S. Just installed QuickPic (gallery app alternative) to test whether it was related to the LG official gallery app. The new app (QuickPic) shows all folders correctly...
