I just installed the latest Jellybean Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605016
And everything works great (with exception to the camera issues they identified as a known issue). One thing is irking me though. My old pics are not displaying.
I tried doing the recommended steps in this thread with no luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1862523
I would post to either of these two threads but alas, my permissions do not allow.
I appreciate any feedback or solution to this issue.
There's various steps in various posts in that thread, which did you try?
I know either ROM Manager and/or ClockworkMOD Recovery had a .nomedia issue in the past so, make sure both are updated if you use them (or uninstall them if you don't). Additionally, most ROMs have a "rescan media" function (no clue where it is in JB but, it was in Dev Tools in GB).

The steps near the end
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.

I just uninstalled Rom Manager but it is still on my phone (it was part of the ROM that I installed).
I also tried to re-update with no luck.
Also noteworthy, when I take a new picture it shows in the gallery. When I use file explorer to browse to the location the new image is stored I can verify that it is in the same folder as all of the other pics that for some reason are not showing up.
I am trying the suggestions here now

There is no .noimage file in the root of my phone. I then cleared cache and dalvik / fix permissions. I have forced gallery closed and cleared all data both in gallery and in media storage, reboot the phone.
No luck yet.
Your ROM is CM based, you should have an app called Dev Tools; run that and select Media Scanner and let it run; otherwise try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner

Thank you for this feedback. I have tried both Dev Tools and Media Scanner. It did not have any effect.
Would the quantity of images and videos have an effect? I have a lot? I doubt it but I am running out of ideas. I appreciate any other feedback. Thank you.
Maybe you have some corrupted image or video on your SD card.
Try to backup all your media files on your computer. Then erase all media files on SD card and add only one picture. Check if the gallery is working. If this picture is there, then you have to find which file is causing the issue.
Add all media files to SD card in some small steps. For example if you have 1000 images, add only first 100 of them. Check if the gallery is working. If it’s working, add next 100 images. If the gallery stops working, remove last 100 images and add only 50. And so on, you get the idea. This way you can identify the corrupted file(s).
PS: Maybe you are wondering why I hit your ”thanks” button That was only a mistake
So I removed all pics and vids and a funny thing happened. It picked up pics in two folders within the DCIM folder. I tried adding a hundred pics back to the camera folder and nothing. I deleted all but a video and nothing. I will test more when my son goes to bed. So weird.

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
Anyone had a problem where you're unable to view pictures on the stock gallery app? The thumbnails are blank, and when clicking on them a message saying "no thumbnails" is displayed, and the picture does not show. I can view pictures using a file manager, and Cool 3D gallery app.
This is on AOKP M5. I been using AOKP M5 and switching back and forth from the nightlies and M5. The only difference I've done this time is I deleted all the data on the SD card before flashing M5. The reason for me deleting is I noticed some app data was still left behind.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I haven't seen this problem on my Nexus but on my old phone if I deleted the .thumbnails folder in DCIM & restarted the phone the thumbnails were rebuilt.

Forgot to mention, I've already tried that. I also tried wiping cache and dalvik. I also transfered my Wallpaper folder from my computer to my phone, and the stock gallery does not display those pictures either.
i am having this same problem so i thought i'd just post here instead of making a new thread. i just posted this reply in another thread but i'm going to bump this one too since there are people having this problem and i don't think any of us have found a solution yet.
i was on AOKP M5 since it was released and the day CM9 RC1 came out i wiped data and flashed it. this is when i saw the problem. everything worked fine in AOKP M5.
i wasn't reallse happy with CM9 so i wiped data again and flashed liquidsmooth 1.5 and while i am enjoying it i am having this similar problem with the gallery. i have searched and searched and have found no solution for this bug.
when i go to gallery all the thumbnails are gray. when i click on a folder the thumbnails are still gray and when i click on a picture it says "no thumbnail." i wiped gallery in titanium backup and no dice. i also uninstalled and reinstalled the app through titanium backup. no dice once again so i just wiped data and did another fresh install of liquid and i am still having the problem.
i am able to take pictures and view them in quickpic but not in the gallery. i downloaded the es file explorer showed hidden files and deleted the .thumbnail folder (it was already empty) in the DCIM folder. the gallery repopulated but the thumbnails were still gray. for now i am using the quickpic app for my gallery since it is able to show thumbnails.
i just installed this liquid 1.5 on my friend's GN and the first thing i did was take some pics so i could view them in his gallery and he doesn't seem to have the bug. everything works as it should. is this bug just random or was it because his phone just had his bootloader unlocked and was "fresh" for the new rom being installed? in CWM i wiped data/factory reset so i didn't dirty flash. whatever the case i hope this is fixed in the JB version of roms. i really don't want to flash a factory image and start all over.
if anyone has a solution or an idea on how i might try and fix it PLEASE post it. thank you so much.
No Picasa Images are displayed under Gallery
Hi,
I am on stock ICS 4.0.4(reverted from JB by applying stock images from google).
I have synced all my google data with my device. But whenever I open the stock Gallery app, I can see a thumbnail preview of all my Camera photos properly. The gallery even lists all of my Picasa albums correctly but no thumbnail preview is shown. If I enter into any of these album no preview is displayed.
Some resolutions i tried:
1. I have cleared cache, cleared data and force stopped gallery and then again started as that was advised in some threads
2. I even removed ".Thumbnail" directory and restarted but no luck.
3. I have downloaded "Just Pictures" app and it properly displays my Picasa albums along with the thumbnail preview.
But I love my stock gallery.(Please do not suggest Quickpic alternative).
Attached is the screenshot of my gallery app.
Any advice?
I'll suggest to reflash the firmware - clean install + I hope u have a good internet connection too !!

Instead of re flashing the entire FW can I uninstall and install the only the gallery app? If so could you please let me know where can I get that apk?
At present not in a position to re install ROM and fiddle with the set up I have in my GNex!
Hi all.
Today started a weird problem on my desire (running RSK rom). I have to say that nothing was changed or done to the phone for at least a week other than updates for downloaded apps. Suddenly the galleries (the htc one and the android one) and music programs like winamp or even the gmail and phone don't play the ringtones or music. BUT... the files are still on the SD card and are even working with the same apps like the winamp and galleries if I browse the SD card and pick the file and choose to show or play it. So what the heck is wrong? The files are not corrupted and the access to the SD card is possible through the phone itself.
I tried using SDRefresh or whatever it is called (the SD card refresh app) and it didn't help.
Any advice?
Have you tried this?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tristarapps.tools.galleryrefresh
Or maybe delete data and cache for gallery in manage apps. Otherwise backup data and reflash the rom.

It is fixed. As it seem, ROM manager had a bug that placrd nomedia or nodata (forgot the name) in the parent directory when it updated. They fixed the bug and released an update. I deleted the file and everything is back to normal.
thanks for trying to help!
The gallery detects no images and the music player finds no music. I have many folders full of images and "music" folder filled with music. ES file manager can detect and view/play image-/music files.
I recently installed the latets version CM9 and I have never had this issue before. Third party music apps are also unabe to detect music. Factory reset does not help. Deleting cache and data in settings does not help. There is no issue with .nomedia files.
Don't know what to do really. Any answer is greatly appreciated.

Its very obvious!
If reflashing doesnt work, try putting all the music files in the root of the sd card and not in folders as you did now!

Horrible option. Makes the whole "hierarchical filesystem"-thing pointless, and the SD-Card looking extremely confused (I like having a /sdcard/music/ folder, and even more folders in that. And camera also saves pictures to subfolders of /sdcard/.). There has to be another way. On my GNex CM9 doesn't have this problem, so it isn't ROM-related, and Gingerbread isn't making this trouble, too. Just as a start to exclude options on the "why".
(But, yes, I've tried that with one file, and it works. For people interested in shabby workaround and not in real fix it'll probably do the trick. (Except for (camera) pictures. Camera saves in /sdcard/DCIM/blabla. No way to change that.))

I'm gonna try putting 1 mp3 file on root and delete any .nomedia file too see if it works, if not I'll reflash.
Same with gallery, it can't hurt..
By the way I noticed the gallery shows pictures taken after I deleted the ROM but if I place old photos in that same folder they don't show up...
Thanks for all the answers
PS. I did full wipe before installing the ROM and will wipe everything again..
dammit I ****ed up, did wipe and didn't root again so when I flashed the ROM it didn't boot. Flashing 2.3.4 Stock FTF file now. Thanks anyway.
Just FYI: Putting files to the root of /sdcard is not a longterm solution, after reboot they don't show up again. Niether clearing Media Storage's data nor wiping cache nor dalvik cache, nor fixing permissions works as a solution. That is really f*cked up.
Edit: No changes in ongoing nightlies on that. Hopefully: Yet. But I wouldn't bet on it.
SOLVED!
This is not a ROM problem! It could happen to anyone using ROM Manager!
How-to fix:
1. Download and install the latest ROM Manager APK from their website.
2. Delete the .nomedia file in /sdcard/android/data/ (ROM Manager 5.0.1.3 put a bad one there, the new version will be good).
3. Clear the data for Media Storage in Settings > Apps.
4. Reboot.
5. Wait. Re-indexing can need a while.

Was this a question? If yes: Yes, the solution is exactly the same across devices.
After full wipe I flashed latest beta and pics aren't shown in gallery and also I'm unable to pick mp3 as a ringtone.
I've done the trick with mix player and it doesn't help.
Can someone help me with this?

Check for the file named “.nomedia” (without quotes) in the root folder of your SD card. This file tells media scanner not to search for media in this folder and its subfolders. If you find this file in the root directory then simply delete it. The issue is caused probably by newest ROM manager. Some users report that this file is recreated after reboot. In this case I would temporary downgrade the ROM Manager to older version. Hit the THANKS button if I helped you
I also have the same issue. There's no stray ".nomedia" that I can find in my SD card. Logcat entries contain no related error message.
If you use MXPlayer, in settings there is an option about .nomedia. Diasble it. Sometimes that cause this kind of problems.
Try Wiping Dalvik and fix permissions
Clearing cache, dalvik cache and fixing permissions don't work. Strange thing is that newly captured screenshots and photos appear in the Gallery app right away. The disappearance apply just to the existing images and music files in built-in Gallery and Music app. Third-party image browsing apps like QuickPic are behaving correctly (showing all images, respecting .nomedia on selected folders appropriately.) Third-party music players (Google Play Music, Winamp, etc.) however can't find any music tracks, behaving exactly like the original Music app. Bumping so that yozgatg might take a look.
Alternatively you can use QuickPic and set up included folders manually.

Didn't work. I've tried both fixing permissions from CWM and from ROM Toolbox Lite. I don't think this is a temporary problem that can be resolved by clearing cache and fixing permissions. For images there are plenty of alternative apps that can be used, but it's currently a dead end trying to list music tracks
COPY ALL SDCARD FILES TO A PC FORMAT THE SD CARD AND COPY BACK ONLY THE IMPOTANT FOLDERS LIKE ANDROID AND THOSE CONTAINING THE PICTURES AND MUSIC FILE LEAVE THE REST

No. Not workng for me. CM10 JB HTC DESIRE Z.
