JB gallery not showing pics taken before flashing

The gallery only shows pics taken while on this rom (fnv) already. I had a couple other jb roms which did the same thing, AND pics taken while on those other jb roms also don't show in gallery.
I read something yesterday about pics now being stored in storage/sdcard0 instead of /sdcard. But I looked in sdcard0 and the new pics are there, but so are the old pics, which still aren't showing in the gallery! Anyone know what the deal is?

Download SDRescan from play store, run app, reboot. Then they should show.

How long should the scan take? After about 8 minutes I stopped it and rebooted and it didn't work. Tried several times.

Well I have about 4.5g used on my SD card, and it takes roughly 10 mins.
Also have you tried wiping cache & data for the gallery & re-booting?

Stock gallery app is really bad. Use QuickPic instead.

Many of us on Jellybean are having this problem.. Here is my thread about it.. I can't believe there isn't a solution yet.. If I flash back onto my old ICS nandroid, I can view all the photos; however whenever I flash a jellybean rom, they are gone.

but i like the swiping gestures in the jb gallery. oh well im sure a fix will come eventually.

I had to use stock gallery.
I've used Quickpic for years but when I jumped to JB, it didn't see half my pics all of a sudden so I'm back on stock for now. Works for me.

try formating sd card via Recovery(backup first),then put them back ,see what happen , then ,press the thank button~

have same problem here
the stock gallery app dont' show some of my old picture suddenly, even I try backup the pictures to desktop PC and copy them back to Nexus, it's useless. But on other Gallery app eg: QuickPic is working fine, all picture can show correctly

This has only happened to me on XenonHD. Because of that, I went back to BAMF

My issue with gallery is that it seems to ignore .nomedia files and still show directories that contain them.
But if I disable gallery now I lose camera.

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?

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:

Anyone else finding viewing photos in gallery very slow?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

To be honest, no. Are those photos on a very slow SD card, maybe?

not got sd card

After 4.4 update can no longer write to sd card.

I noticed I can no longer create folders or copy to sd card from the note. I have to connect through USB to save to micro sd card. I believe the 4.4 has something to do with this. For security?
This sucks, if I had known I wouldn't of update.
Is anyone that took OTA 4.4 have same issue. Or found a work around. ?

EStrongs file explorer. Root not required. :good:

I have no problem doing this using the My Files app that is included with your device. If you are trying to use a third party file explorer from the Play Store then you may have problems as 4.4.2 locks down access to the SD card for third party apps.

I noticed I have two new camera picture folders when I review images on phone now...

Yea but if your trying to download via ttorrent or similar it gives permission error. Only way to get it on sdcard is to download to internal memory then move to sd.

I dont have burst enabled at all. In Album I have Camera with 1,677 images and another Camera with 51 images. I think this was my fault come to think about it :silly: I just realized that my SD card was almost full and at some point I changed the camera to store on internal memory. I think this was it? LOL
