Yes, ive searched, nothing I've found has helped.
Normally I'd just ignore the app, but unfortunately I don't have a choice as its the only way to get a custom lock screen, as far as I can tell. My problem is basically just the threadbare options menu. I don't see any way to prevent it from displaying Picasa Web albums (yeah, sync is diabled) in the app itself, and the Gallery app isn't listed in the app management settings, so I can't clear the cache.
So if someone could point out to me how to clear the cache and to add images that are already on the SD card to the gallery, I'd appreciate it greatly.
Are you talking about gallery? Showing Picasa albums? In gallery click menu then click content to display 5 hen deselect your Picasa and dropbox. go into settings and application manager. Swipe left until you see all apps. Go to gallery and click clear data and cache then reboot all thumbnails will.
Oops did that backwards kill data and cache then go into gallery.

Thanks! There was nothing in the UI to indicate there were different columns of apps, so I had no idea I could swipe to see more.

HTC's Photos app doesn't show the photos on my SD card and neither does Gallery (the cooliris Nexus One app ported to Incredible). How do I get photos to show up? Arr, it's driving me nuts!
Edit: SOLVED, see below.

I fixed this using the free "Gallery Enabler" app from the Market. I definitely recommend it!

I tried that app and thought it was great too, until I couldn't find any of my music playlists.
I think it hides folders from other applications besides Photos.
If you have problems, open gallery enabler and check all folders before you un-install it.
Then the right way to fix it is to open the Photos app on the phone, clck on the menu button and select "Settings" and then "Default Albums" then select the options you want from there.
If you're wondering how this application works, it probably just deletes/adds the hidden .nomedia files from folders. Those files restrict applications from having access to the media by signaling the android media scanner to ignore them. For instance, if you put one in the root of your sd card, the system would ignore any media on your entire card.
In theory, it's a great idea.
The problem is that all of my music is organized in folders and each folder contains the album art for the album.
So blocking the folder with the album art so that it does not show up in the gallery also blocks the music file from different media applications.

Ah, you're definitely right. All my music stopped showing up. However, once I went back and enabled all the folders and applied settings in Gallery Enabler all my music showed up again and the photos were still fixed. I suppose you could use Gallery Enabler once to "force" Gallery and Photos to see all the folders.
Changing default albums in HTC's Photos app did nothing to make media show up again. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Un-installing gallery enabler brought my music back but not the playlists, I had to manually re-build all of my playlists again.
Is there a way to hide the cache folder (.thumbnail) from appearing in the gallery?
It makes it impossible to find what I want with the hundreds of graphics used by apps on my phone appearing in the gallery.
I tried to delete it, but seeing as it's a cache it re-creates itself whenever an application launches. Really annoying as it caches images from Facebook and Twitter of people I don't want on my phone.

Navigate to the gallery tab.
Click on 'Albums'
Click on 'Albums' again
Select '100Media' (This is the photo directory on my phone)
Click 'Menu'
Click 'Set Album as Favorite'
Click 'OK'
This should take care of your problem!
how can i stop the gallery app to sync my picasa/google plus photos?i tried disable it in the sync settings and clear the gallery cache but they still there meaning that every time i start the app it take a bit to show photos because of syncing,
thanx
It's a setting in Google Plus right when you open it the first time.
Go into google+ app. go to settings menu. scroll down to bottom. uncheck "instant upload" or change the settings to only upload on wifi, but not on battery power.
Done it but photos are still in the gallery app. ??

Hello,
I have TomTom . How can i hide the images folder in the app Gallery?
create a file called ".nomedia" in the folder you want to hide.
it may not work right away if the folder is already recorded by the media scanner.
if that happens wipe data for the "media storage" app (only visible under settings>application manager>all) and reboot your phone to force a complete rescan of all your folders.
Or you can download Quickpic, which isn't airview enabled but will let you switch galleries on and off as you wish.
It also fills the screen with your images and doesn't waste half the screen with a sidebar, like the stock gallery.

Use Vault, it encrypts your Videos, Pics, SMS, and Contacts I guess and then you can just uninstall it until you want your files install it and view them you don't have to restore them to view them, vault will not delete your encrypted data if uninstalled ofc. Its perfect for me I use it to hide my family's videos and photos.
Hi, I search in many different topics but without answer. I also installed gapps and so on, but still cannot force gallery to show my google plus photos. On stock ROM it just works out of box, right now I use Cyan and there I can't use this feature.
Why I would like to have those photos in gallery app instead of using g+ photo app? Because I want to have a widget on desktop with those photos (with out update of album), and so far it is only method which I found (default gallery widget + Gplus sync). Do you have any ideas how to fix it?

Try clearing data on the app info for gallery and then launch and refresh in the top right menu?
