gallery cannot load pics or thumbnails?

I am on 4.0.4 rooted, and it seems lately gallery keeps hanging. Sometimes the thumnails do not show up other times they do but even after i click on a picture or movies it just hangs and has the circle that it is loading forever.
I don't have that many images/movies..maybe 30 total
I already tried clearing cache for gallery, i was thinking of clearing the data but not sure if that will wipe out my images/movies?
Any other ideas? Thanks!

i am having this same problem so i thought i'd just post here instead of making a new thread.
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.

solved

Camera app no longer works, any solutions?

Hey everybody, I'm on a JB rom right now (Jellybelly 3.3), and whenever I try to open the camera, it says flashes a message that gallery has stopped working. I noticed the problem a couple days ago, but I'm not sure how long I've had the problem because I rarely use the camera. When the phone boots up, it flashes the same message.
I've used several roms over the past few weeks, and my usual method of flashing is to wipe data and cache before installing the rom. Since I noticed the problem, I tried wiping data, cache, then system, installing the rom and gapps, then fixing permissions. After that didn't work, I tried using superwipe before flashing a rom. Apparently I've had this problem for a while, as my nandroid backup has the same problem.
Does anybody have any idea as to what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Did you by any chance freeze/delete the gallery app after you installed the rom? The gallery app is tied to the camera in jellybean, i froze my gallery app(use quickpic instead) and noticed the camera was missing.

No, it doesn't function directly after installing a rom.

[Q] Camera/Gallery Problem

While cleaning junk files on my Sprint Gnex root 4.3 stock Build JWR67B.L700GJ04, I accidently deleted a file called gallery.3d, or something like that. Shortly after whenever i tried to take a picture with Instagram, or anyother camera app even the stock camera app, it would crash and say the the gallery has closed. I can still view all of my pictures perfectly fine in the stock gallery app, but i am unable to take any pictures due to the app craching everytime i attempt to open it to take a picture. I've tried clearing the cache and data from the gallery app and rebooting but that does not work. the first time i simply rebooted it seemed to fix the error but it was only temporary. If someone could please help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Try clear cache and dalvik in recovery if you have one

I reinstalled the app by reflashing my GApps. After reboot i opened the camera app, and it seemed to work at first but then it never fully opened the camera to where I could see an image, froze and closed and gave me the same message "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped". Not sure what to do from here.

maybe that camera + gallery. apk not compatible wt rom. try others or update.
wipe data partition not erase any data in internal storage. so, your internal data saved. the apk's setup gone. good to try

Wicked rom to Aosp and back... SD Issues.

Hey guys... I seem to be having a weird issue after flashing slimkat for a day flashing back to my wicked nandroid from yesterday.
For starters, my Google camera automatically crashes if I try to use the video recorder...
When trying to take a screenshot I get the message "Screenshot could not be saved, USB storage may be in use"
I tried to wipe data on the camera, and wipe cache and davlik in twrp.
Same issue..
Anyone help out? Thanks a bunch
Edit : it now appears that even the regular photos taken from the Google camera do not save either, they snap, but that's it. No saving.

Contacts app crashing Xperia Z5 premium

Hello,
I've been using my Sony Xperia Z5 Premium for about 5 days and now my Contacts app keeps crashing. I've tried cleaningthe cache and the data, but still doesn't work. Dial pad, contacts nor calling someone via messenger works, simply put I can not contact anyone in any other way other than through texting and Internet based apps. Help please! Haven't reset the phone yet as I'd prefer not having to...
Best regards,
Amy

That's strange...my 6583 hasn't had any type of crashes from day 1...did you freeze or disable any other Sony apps that may be tied to contacts? How about firmware updates? My Z5 Premium notified me if an update almost immediately after I started using it...it was a 300mb update and after I installed it, I did a factory reset because that's just how I prefer to use my phone...if nothing works, I suggest trying a reset.

I hadn't done anything that could have caused this, but it fixed itself after a factory reset. Thanks!

I've factory reset (pain in the patootie), rebooted, cleared cache, deleted data, everything...but my contacts STILL keep saying "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped working". I cannot select a contact, nor can I use the dialpad of the phone app. Any other solutions?

I did factory reset, but I still have the same problem. Contact and Dial pad are dead. It keeps saying “unfortunately, Contact has stopped."

i'm having the same exact problem, i tried factory reset and it still doesn't work. can someone please reply back with a new method to fix this issue? I can't even make phone calls using the dialpad!
