[Q] Gallery : pictures don't show aynmore...where are they ? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Just a quick question.
After restoring a CWM backup (did a superwipe before..), my pictures don't appear anymore in gallery but with Pictview everything is fine.
I cleared the cache and de data for the application but with no success.
Booted 2 times : no success.
They are no "reload or refresh" feature in Galley..
What happened ? Any tips ?
Thanks a lot.

Gallery App Not Working

Hi, it seems that i have installed 2 roms on my nexus gsm. One is the manhattan rom and the other is the Team Kang Milestone 4. Have tried the manhattan one first, camera app lets me take photos, but when i want to browse through the photos, it wont allow me. i use gallery, and it said, "no storage, no external storage available". same thing happened when i install the team kang milestone 4. now im worried, plz help. is it rom problem or phone problem? sry for my bad eng...
Try downloading a file, or otherwise exploring your storage to see if that is the issue. Then go to settings -> apps -> all and clear the data for gallery.
Are you wiping everything between flashing different roms?
Storage no issue. Available 10gb. tried the settings part. doesnt work. Im wiping everything when im installing rom, but after wiping everything i install the milestone 4 and a aokp theme. tried manhattan, also the same problem
someone plz help...
same problem =/ everything works fine except the gallery app, tried AOKP build 31 and Black ICE 31.31...
Bring up the thread.
Stock Gallery app (from AOKP B34) showed "No external storage available" then quitted. QuickPic can see everything, but keeps showing up "unable to open database file" and had to cache again everything. The MTP file transfer isn't working properly right now, everything takes a very long time to show up.
I rebooted like 50 times already. Also tried wiped and reflashed. Already tried Android Revolution HD wipe zip file. No difference.
Anyone managed to fix this?
Edit: Fixed this using the ToolKit, re-locked and re-unlocked the bootloader, everything on the sdcard card folder gone. Must have been something wrong with the partition. Anyway, this is shame. Gotta be some more civilized way to do this.
Same problem here, "No external storage available" when opening the Gallery app.

This does not help for me.
I already did that before flashing the ROM to have a really clean device.
are you guys doing full wipes here?
in cwm
1) wipe cache/factory reset
2) mounts and storage > wipe /system
3) flash rom
4) flash gapps
5) advanced > wipe dalvik
6) reboot phone
I have this same problem, AOKP b36 and franco kernal M3.
Gallery won't open but ES file explorer etc can see the photos fine.
Full wipe did not fix it.
Just backing everything up and will try lock/unlock bootloader
edit: hooray, locking/unlock did indeed fix the problem. Thanks

I also had this problem with QuickPic (on a different device). Solved the problem by formatting the sdcard. I did NOT need to touch the system.

[Issue] Most of my apps can't have access to Internal Storage

Hi everyone, three days ago i updated my Galaxy Nexus to the latest 4.2 version, from the stock 4.2 (the one without december in the people app).
Yesterday i started to realize some weird behaviors with overall apps, and here are some of them:
. Câmera app : Photo is taken, but can't visualize it
. Galery app : Shows ammount of photos in each album, but all the thumbnails are solid gray, and no photo can be selected for visualization
. Swiftkey Keyboard : Keeps raising error related to "Dynamic Language Packs" (since swiftkey stores the dynamic packs in the sdcard/internal storage, this might be another access issue)
. All apps that use camera activity : Camera is loaded but once i took the photo, it does not return to the app, and the camera app keeps open. No photo is returned to the app that invoked the camera aswell
. Dropbox : Can't export to internal storage any file, sometimes it manages to finally "read" the internal storage and show me directories structure, and sometimes it doesn't. In both situations, file "fails to export".
This seems a really weird behavior to me, and i thought that it might be a "Permission" issue, so i got in recovery mode and fixed permissions, but nothing got solved.
Is there any other step i might take before having to actually try a full wipe / factory reset ?
Having to reinstall / reconfigure all the apps is a pain in the butt, and since i can't backup them with titanium because of the internal storage issue, i would have to do it "manually".
By the way : Play store can update and download apps with no problem at all, so this is not a hardware issue for sure.
Try this wipe cache via recovery and dalvik cache and then flash latest root.
This should work.

Wiping cache and Dalvik Cache will not erase all my internal storage right ?
EDIT: Wiping Cache and Dalvik have not worked
Weird Issue:
After booting up into recovery mode, and try to Install .ZIP from sdcard, the CMW does not actually find any other folder in my sdcard than some weird ones like "0", "odb" and "legacy".
What are those folders ?
Why it does not sees the other folders ?

Queries about CM10.1 M2

I was running CM 10.0.0 maguro stable.
Found CM 10.1 M2 maguro, updated it, with wiping dalvik cache, i didn't wipe data/factory reset.
Then gapps 121212.
Bang. Working fine but with some issues.
1. Clock stop working pop up appears once or twice. But clock is working great.
2. I couldn't manage to find my camera images, whats app images, screenshots, downloads images, Bluetooth images in Gallery.
3. My all audio songs are gone or hidden. i don't know. Apollo stop working pop up appears. Movies were there in Gallery. They seems fine.
4. In file manager, or when connecting through USB, i had quite many folders, like 0, but now 0 isn't there. This mod mixed up the 0 folder with main directory folders.
Please Help. Thanks
Update your recovery. Clean install. Search for the fix for your 0 folder issue

My clock app also has this problem. Additionally I cannot access alarms as this causes the clock app to crash.
Clean install means wipe everything, factory reset.?
I am afraid if i do so, i have to install all of my apps again, all accounts and data will be lost. I know i back it up, but the thing is how can i redirect myself to the same page as i am now. Like fb dp sync, skype, blah blah.

In twrp wipe the top 4. Use titanium backup to backup your apps. Use mybackup app yo save text messages call log etc. I think you have to manually restore your accounts

I'm not an expert, but i found 2 clock apps in Settings > apps > all,. I think that's why clock is crashing. Maybe disabling 1 of them will do the magic. Am not sure.

Well i am using clockwork recovery. I have complete back up of my everything, Backup to Gmail for sms, mms, call logs.
But I am kind of little lazy, i mean if i clean install my gnex, then from play store i have to install all my apps one by one. Then enter credentials one by one in each and every app. Then joining contacts. O god

The CM team says not to report issues or bugs unless you have done a clean install, that should hold true here as well.
clean shot

You don't have to do the factory reset from the settings menu if you do it through recovery.
In recovery:
factory reset
wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
format /system
flash rom.zip
flash gapps.zip
fix permissions
reboot
If you use Titanium Backup to backup all 'user apps' just before you install the ROM, and then restore 'user apps plus data' after you install the new ROM, all of your user apps' credentials, logins, etc will be restored. Just don't backup or restore any system apps or system data.
Contacts allows you to export contacts to the sdcard and restore them later.
If you also want to backup and restore phone log and messages, there are umpty-zillion apps to do that.
You should wipe system, cache, dalvik, and factory reset in your recovery before installing the new ROM.
Thanks guys, for the help, anyways M2 is working great, Battery time is little low, Cant found the option (dont lock phone after ending call).

If it's not under the "security" section in settings I would check the settings in the "Dialer" or "Phone" app.
Nopes its not there, not in security, dialer or phone.

AFAIK my phone has never locked after a call ends.. Maybe you have an app that is doing that for you?.

[Q] [Solved] Problem with the S-note App

This is driving me crazy, everything was working crazy, then suddenly all hell broke, and nothing seemed to work, but in the end this is the only program left that I wasn't able to get working normally
Device details :
Model : GT-7100
RM : Stock / rooted / perseus kernel
Philz_Touch_recovery 5.0.6
I was using a USB connector to get some files from a friend (not the first time), but for some reason whenever I tried to copy the files they would hang (folder with 1 nfo & 1 avi file, around 64mb in size), I tried the regular file browser and ES file explorer, but neither worked, and this is where I think I made the mistake
I pulled the usb connector without doing a safe removal, then just went home, a couple of hours later I decided to check for updates on google play, and all hell broke loose (it didn't work and kept FC'ing) , eventually I solved this problem (remove updates, clear cach/data, remove and re-enter account)
Then I launched the S-note, and it kept on crashing, so I tried the following :
1 - FC, clear cache/data (did this for Idea sketch/Mini S-note/ 2 S-note packages) rebooted - result : FAIL
2 - Restore from Titanium bakup (tried to restore app only/data only/app+data) rebooting after each method - result : FAIL
3 - FC, clear cache/data (did this for Idea sketch/Mini S-note/ 2 S-note packages), remove all files from the S-note/S-note export folders on the internal SD card, rebooted - result : s-note now opens, shows an empty list (no saved notes) hangs for 3-4 secs, then crashes
I can only think that by removing the usb connector without doing a save removal caused some system file errors (like on a usb drive), and if this is the case, is there a way to fix them without doing a factory reset ? (can this thread help : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396366) I don't want to redo all the work on my beloved note 2 again
sorry for the long OP, but I've tried to include as much info as possible, to clear things for anyone who is kind enough to help
Edit : any idea if this can help ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271978
it says flashable, I've tried flashing the zip file from Philz touch menu but it gave an error
Edit 02: I've done a wipe data/factory reset through Philz touch, a cwm restore caused the problem to return, so I wiped/reset again and restored apps through titanium backup and things are now working again, I'm not sure which system app was causing the problem (though I suspect it was the S-note sync service, but I'm not willing to risk restoring it)
if a Mod can lock this thread/mark it solved, it would be great, not sure if it would be useful to anyone else though
I didn't have your problem of FC's but I cannot manage to restore S-note setting and Notes with Titanium backup. In addition, I cannot get Pop-up note to work after I remove the S-pen. When I try to restore Snote and Mini S note with Titanium, it just says "Restoring" but never finishes. Was it smooth restore for you?
I am trying to restore after a full wipe coming from DMC3 to DME1
Thx

Photos not saving when using camera! OOS / CM13

Hey! I have an annoying problem with camera & photos on my OP3...
Camera launches fine but when I take a photo its not saved. If I try the Google Camera it says error while trying to snap a photo. Same issues on both OxygenOS and CM13.
Solved it once by formatting the whole internal memory (factory wipe didnt help), but now the bug is back again without reason - it worked earlier today but not now anymore?!?!? :S
The thing is, I really don't wanna format and set all things up all over again... Restoring a backup doesn't help... its like its another "external" thing thats broken.
I tried looking over permissions and clearing app data and what not... all the basic stuff is already tested out without progress!
Usually solve most stuff myself but this is just wierd. Anyone else had this problem? Solution? :angel: :good:
SOLVED: By doing a full backup in TWRP (system, data, boot) then copying it to PC. Then format data, copy back the backup from PC and restore it in TWRP. Voila, now it works by restoring the exact same backup where taking photos didn't work before. So its definently something else, which is solved by formatting everything on the phone!
I've had the same issue on my OnePlus 3 running stock OxygenOS (3.2.1).
I managed to resolve it by clearing the data on the camera app, which can be done by opening the Settings and going to the Apps list. Select the Camera app and click on the Storage information which then gives you the option to 'Clear Data'. This in effect resets the Camera app and seems to resolve the issue.
