Ok I looked around and things weren't quite matching up to the problem i'm having.
I recently rooted my S2 and flashed Revolt JB rom which I absolutely love.
But I cannot go into my gallery, when I do it loads a bit, then it freezes and my phone reboots, while every other person with the gallery issues it just goes to the home screen.
I tried removing DCIM folders from internal and SD
Tried removing the SD completely
Tried clearing cache and data on gallery app
I really really don't want to revert back to stock and unroot, so please help me with this problem.
have you tried a different gallery app, also try moving all your pictures /data/files etc anything you want backed up and then format your sd card and then transfer everything back see if it helps ?
I tried a different gallery app, but i'm going to try and remove all the data/files
I just noticed I tried removing the SD card completely, the issue isn't the sd card, so is there any data files in my internal storage I can move without there being any issues?
Actually the "gallery issue" does reboot phones.
Your sd card is out, so that's good....but you also need to transfer off your phone and delete every video and pic you have on your internal sd storage and the issue should be gone. Maybe you have a video on there that you've missed???
And you definitely are using twrp 2.6.1.0 right?
Good luck!

I tried removing everything to my computer but it just made a copy , i'll try it again though.
Move everything, then delete everything to do with pics and vids off the phone.

Posted this thread a couple of days ago, kinda the same issues, kinda not. Enough that I think it warrants a new thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948712
I can install/update a maximum of two apps. After that any others that were downloading simultaneously will just get stuck in that un-cancelable "installing" state. If I only downloaded/updated two apps then no others will download update until I follow my "solution" on the thread mentioned above.
Any ideas?
backup your apps with titanium, try a new rom, see if another gives you problems, if it does then restore the one you have now, if its fixed with another rom then restore your backups and enjoy a new rom

I backup apps and data regularly with Titanium. I use the Stock 2.2, rooted, S-Off. "Try another rom" is not a solution.
Coupled with the issues you had on the other thread -- have you considered that you might have a problem with your SD card? If you remove the card entirely and try to install more than two or three applications, does it still occur? I think you also said something about having a large amount of programs already installed. I don't know if the large number of applications can cause any types of market issues.

SD card has been tested and tested again for errors and issues. There are none.
However you are correct about the removal of the sd card. I removed it and installed 5 apps in quick succession. All were downloading at the same time and installed without problems.
Also the issue I was having in the previous thread is back and the solution I posted no longer works.
That's really strange. I'd guess your phone doesn't like the card. Have you applied the SD card speed tweaks that have been going around? Maybe using different values may help.

Backup only the irreplaceable things from it sdcard (pics/video/music).
Try wiping it delvik cache. That helped me with installation issues.
Id also format it sdcard for safety.

Dalvik was wiped regularly as I was looking for a solution. Tried the backup and format earlier today as well.
Tried deleting the android.secure and no go also.

If it works okay with your SD card removed, it's going to be an issue with the card, even if you haven't been able to find one otherwise. If you have another card around, try to put that one in and see if it works.

Going to have to buy a new one, long since lost the 8gb that came with it.
Let me start off by stating I am far from a newb. I have been rooting and flashing android ROMs since the G1. This is the first time I have run across this. My wife's DInc wont let her install any apps. Install unsuccessful each tome and started on stock ROM. I just rooted wiped and flashed cm7. Still same deal. I have never encountered this. Thinking corrupt internal memory. Anyone else have an idea? Tried wiping market cache data etc... tried signing into Google talk... funny thing is out of warranty by one day now. Awesome timing.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
how new is the inc? have you checked that the PRL settings are correct? what message do you get when you try to install apps? it wouldn't hurt to do a *228 just to ensure all settings are written correctly.
I had the same problem but it turned out that the apps couldnt interact with my sd card. does it display a pop up error message when you try to install an app?
Last 2 DIncs I rooted, the SD that came with it was Not FAT32. Those had the same issue you describe, I reformatted SD, worked fine.

Well... it let me update these... http://db.tt/wCkP1we

I'm stumped... all permissions are set correctly. I've erased data and cache multiple times from the market... I've *228'd... and rebooted MANY TIMES!

Thats the exact same problem i had.
Use root explorer and navigate to /sdcard/.android_secure and delete the file "smdl2tmp1.asec" if it is not in that location then it could be in /mnt/secure/asec/
After i deleted the file it worked just fine with no errors.
Does it install if you unmount the SDcard with the system settings first?
I tried doing that but it didn't work for me. But it doesn't hurt to try.

Ahh, I had an issue with it a while back that was fixed by unmounting the sdcard before installing them. I'd read about it in this article before, maybe it will help someone here: http://lifehacker.com/5714300/how-to-fix-installation-unsuccessful-errors-in-the-android-market
Seems like it mostly covers problems with updates, though.
Hey everyone. im running jelly bean on my nexus. i deleted all of my stuff from my "sdcard" because none of it would show up under gallery or play music. i backed it up to my computer and then sent it all back to my phone. now my gallery says "no external storage available". im not too sure what went wrong, but does anyone know how to fix it? i downloaded "quickpic" on the play store and it shows my gallery fine, i guess i just would rather use the stock one. just not sure if anyone knows a solution to fix it. im on twitter as spdivr1122 if i forget to reach here. if you can help me that would be greatly appreciated.

I have the Nexus S and experienced the same issue, just had to remove the USB cable or disable usb connection (i was using the phone when connected with an USB cable to my computer).
That solved my problem on a Nexus S. Maybe the Galaxy Nexus works the same.

Great thought, but this occurs when the phone is not hooked up to a computer. There is no way to turn the external storage on and off.

I've tried now updating my Kernel and that didn't fix anything.
My next step is to go back to ICS to get my camera to work, not something I want to do, because I like the feel of JB.
Any other thoughts?
the same issue...
it seems that JelyBean had a big issue and developers don't want to accept that and solve it! Moreover they are continue totally ignoring that issue and continue building a new ROM's.... I'm frustrated!
same issue here, tried three roms with full wipe.
Sure there's not a .nomedia file floating around in there somewhere?
I faced the same problem last night, and still haven't found a working solution.
I'm a long time user of Franco.kernel on stock 4.1.1, and last night I decided to try out MiNCO ROM v4. In TWRP I wiped cache, Dalvik, did a factory reset and even wiped system before flashing the ROM. It booted normally and looked and felt great, but opening Gallery gave me the "external storage" error.
I read countless threads on this error, and tried every suggested workaround, to no avail.
Steps taken:
clear data in Gallery app and reboot
clear data in Media Storage and reboot
search for rogue .nomedia files in /storage/sdcard0/ and subdirectories (this was really an issue with a recent ROM Manager update, which I don't use)
restore Gallery.apk from a nandroid of stock ROM using TiBu
reflash gapps
reflash kernel
factory data reset
reflash ROM
I eventually felt I had no choice but to restore my nandroid of Stock 4.1.1!
Good news: no more "external storage" error
Bad news: hello, square one! :crying:
I hope some of the steps above work for at least some of you similarly afflicted, but I'm stumped...
This is the solution to your problem, I guess.
SD?

Are you flashing everything from the card?, try to do it from the internal memory, so the installation sets the internal memory as the second storage device (internal or whatever) and the card as an external device

In fact i had the same problem a few days ago, and what i said worked, just be sure to backup your data and everything, then flash the rom from internal memory, the gapps are optional as the backup has them, then restore the backup, on the next reboot you should see everything as you left it, go to your gallery and the toast should not appear anymore, try it:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

Might I suggest, sadly, the last two options:
Completely delete the entire SD card. If that doesn't work, format your phone. If you're rooted, backup any NECESSARY data, (no options, settings or anything like that, just in case it's related to the settings, but you can make a back up, just don't restore), and then reset device to factory default and see if that eliminates the issue.
Wait, are you rooted? On stock Android Galaxy Note 2? Or do you have any special changes done to your phone?

Are you on CM10?
I believe that this is a bug that has been hitting Samsung phones. It's either, a) a fault in the MMC chip, or b) a CM10 bug. I've had that happen 3 times to me, the 1st time I had no backups and lost over 10GB of media from my External SD Card. The other 2 times I was prevented and lost everything but had a backup. So protip : backup each time you have something new on your phone. Better safe than sorry.
Now, download this program and run it. It'll recover almost all the deleted photos from your SD : http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Hi, I dont know if I have CM10 :S .. i only know that I have anything as brand new (stock rom).
I found a solution but it`s not 100% working.
I downloaded Fish bowl gallery and go in setting>advanced>find missing photos> and than I select the maps where the photos are but are not shown in the stock gallery.
I waited till photos are added and now i have 100 photos (of 117 total) added in my stock gallery (but i still does not have other 17 photos)
Thank you
You should return your phone. If your pictures aren't showing up even after flashing an official rom then something is wrong.

Hi,
I'm using a SGS3 (no root, no custom rom) but got the same problem! I think it's a jelly bean problem..
Hi all,
I have a rooted phone and constantly keep storage and performance best I can using a number of apps like SD Maid, Rom toolbox, etc.
My problem is that while it is clear that that all storage from phone to external SD card have plenty of free space, I'm running into a problem when attempting to update larger apps such as games from the play store. They fail do to insufficient space.
Any suggestions as to the cause? The only info I can provide related to cause is that this seems to happen after I take HD videos with camera. However, those videos do indeed reside on external memory card which obviously has plenty of space just like both other storage options.
Any help is appreciated.
Anyone have ideas as to cause? This is actually getting worse. Thanks
Happened to an older phone of mine. Basically had to to a complete wipe and format of the system and Sdcard. Sometime theres toms of left over junk from old apps. Backup you data before you attempt .

If you look in /data/app and /data/app-lib you'll find duplicates there (app-1 and app-2).
What i do is delete both in both folders, then reboot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, then boot the phone up. That should solve the issue.

Hi,
Thank you much for response. Yes, you are right and this was one of two things I found on my own that fixed the issue. However, after it did not fully solve the issue, I finally ended up finding the perfect and easiest solution to this common issue. I ran a popular storage utility app and cleared all corpse files. That instantly solved the problem with every single app with this issue.
With that said, and while I do genuinely appreciate every reponse from this forum and others, replying by simply stating to backup, wipe/reset all and restore backup rom is honesty far from helpful. I knew that and would not have posted this issue if that was the only solution. Seriously, it is quite frustrating to read such nonsense. There is always a much simpler alternative and proven here. That is why most will post here for advice in the first place.
Anyways,
Thanks again.
