So i prior to unlocking with pudding and sbf I temporarily transferd all my kids pictures to internal storage to encrypt media which went fine were talkin over 3000 pix..
Next day i decided to unlock and root
Now all media says error displaying and pics show as there but look like white mountain tops wtf??
I tried a diff sd card still the same did Factory reset still same..formated internal storage same! Even nandroid restore from when there was no issues still same
Then Down loaded a gallery app from market all pics are back..
What happened to stock photo gallery?
Possibly botched during rsd flash or root?

May be you should try this. Copy your pics to your PC and delete them from your phone, delete the thumbnail cache, reboot and now open the stock gallery app, it will show no thumbnail since there are no pics. Now copy back your pics from PC to your phone.
I too had a similar problem, read the above on this forum somewhere and now no issues.

Does anyone have any problems with the stock gallery thumbnails?
Mine shows each small thumbnail as black and white and split in two, disjointed and then wrapping back round again.
Once I open a picture \ video they load fine but it makes finding pictures hard as you can't tell which is which.
I probably wasn't very clear when writing that. The pictures show what I meant with my gallery... Anyone have any ideas?
try unmounting the SD card in settings, and then restart the phone. That might force the gallery to rescan the SD card for images and refresh the thumbnails.
I would suggest using root explorer to clear the thumbnail cache, but i don;t know where it's stored...
Tried unmounting the sd and also deleting the the thumbnail folder on the sd card. No luck
Someone must have come across this?!
Is there a way I can reinstall the stock app?

Ok, so last night I went to my aunt's 50th b-day party. I took some pix and a couple videos. This morning I go to reveiw them, and I can clearly see them in my gallery. I open a video to watch, and then get a "sorry video cannot be played" message about 3 seconds into the video, then it's closes the video. I'm returned to my gallery where I can still see the pix and video, the the screen flashes and now I can't see any of the pix or videos .....Is there anyway or any program I can use to recover these lost treasures of mine that my phone thought I wouldn't want. I have connected both the phone and my card to my PC and cannot find the files anywhere
Are u rooted? Are you on a custom Rom

Yes I am rooted and running the blazer ROM 1.3

Have you tried transferring the files to pc or uploading to dropbox?
There have been times where i download or capture a small video and it doesn't show up in gallery until i reboot the device.
this isn't completely crazy, a friend has a Droid X and it did this exact thing to her with video and pictures... stock never rooted or anything internal memory, I've never had any issues at all with it on any of the three android devices I've had though.
I always hv the dropbox mobile upload on. With 50gb of cloud storage you should take advantage of it

I was reviewing them to see which ones I wanted to save. And while in my gallery view, the blinked and I guess reloaded itself, and all of the pix and videos from the night before, were gone. I connected the phone to my pc, and nothing....I took my sd card out and put it in my pc, and still, nothing..... It's as if they never existed

Might wanna try a file recovery program on the sd card to see if you can get them back.
Hi! Could anyone suggest what should I do if my older photos disappeard from my gallery? I made a Fix permissions and an FXP133 reinstall (without any wipe, because I was an idiot and I wanted to replace the Contacts app but I failed and I couldn't restore the original Contacts app so I thought maybe if I reinstall only the ROM, it will working again). Before and after the reinstall I made a permissions fix in ROM manager. Now the Contacts app working, but I found that all of my older photos disappeard from the Gallery. It shows only those photos which have been made since the reinstall/perm. fix and my Picasa web albums. I checked in the file manager and all the photos are still there, but I can't make the gallery to show those photos... Should I reinstall the whole ROM again with wipe or there is an easier solution with less work? Thanks

I sometimes get something similar on my stock ICS where the camera, gallery or any other similar apps show the photos, videos or music that's on my sdcard.
I'm not sure what causes it, but I think it's an issue with the sdcard indexing. It's generally fixed by either deleting a picture (make a copy of one and delete it) or by adding a new one. That normally forces the phone to reindex the sdcard and everything turns up again. Sometimes I need to reboot first, but the issue doesn't last for too long anyway since I'm always taking pictures or downloading stuff.
It's a good excuse to make sure your sdcard is backed up though.
Thanks, but that way is not working for me, because since this problem cam up, I already made at least 15 photos, deleted some and not just the rest did not come back, but the new ones also getting disappear constantly... :S and meanwhile I already re-flashed the kernel and re-installed the whole fresh ROM (CM9 FXP133) with full wipe (fact. reset, cache p., dalvik) and the gallery still doesn't show the older/newer photos... So yes, now I think that the problem will be somewhere in my SD card too... I think I will backup my stuff and make a full format, that's my last hope... :/

Okay, it worked. I formatted my miniSD card and restored the most important stuff. Now the gallery shows the photos again. Hurray

That's good to know. Must have been a bad memory card. A lesson to us all..back up your phone!
Yes, sadly something definitely wrong with my SD card... And this is not the 1st case. Earlier, after a simple data transport from notebook to SD card (which I have already done a million times), my phone (and later also my notebook) couldn't recognize the card anymore... I had to format the card from windows' disk manager manually to make it work again. I hoped that it was just an accident, but after this problem which also caused by the card, I think I have to buy a new card shortly... (After 11 months using...)

the same happened when I flashed new sony firmware latest ICS
Sure surprised me. The update left everything else intact. The Gallery app doesn't even have my Picasa photos either. I can choose Picasa and it shows the folders, but every album has no content in it.
Update: after a refresh a couple of times the gallery app finally agreed I had albums and photos in Picasa. Still no sign of any photo that was previously on my phone. Even a photo I took in the morning right before I updated the phone has disappeared.
Anyone else notice this?
Are you sure they are missing from the sd card? An OTA update never touches the sd card.
Use a root explorer and see if your photo's are still on your sd card, if you can see them then either your sd card needs to be formated or it could be bad.

Thanks. Found the photos using a file explorer. Can use the file explorer to open the photos using the Gallery app. Apparently they hard coded a change in the Gallery app to where it looks for photos though, because I can see an photo I've take since the update, but there appears to be no way to tell the Gallery App to find and display the prior photos right where they were originally stored on my SD card.
Anyone have an "easy" way to fix this?

Once the File Explorer proved the original photos were still on board, I simply plugged the phone into my PC and moved them to where the camera/gallery app are currently saving/finding photos. Took a moment to thin out and sort them as well. Could have done all this with the File Explorer, but much easier on the large screen of my PC.
Hello all I rooted again recently after getting the 3 XX update from verizon.
and now that im rooted I cant get gallery to see any images in any folder except what is now taken with camera app.
any ideas.
restarted phone, cleared cache, restarted app, shut down phone and turned back on, tried different camera apps, different gallery apps....... all with same result that it will not see any of my pictures or videos I took before rooting or see any images in any other folder.
so im lost as to what to do to fix it.
Rom is OTA plus rooted is all.... nothing else was changed.
Im still a newbie but I know enough and i cant figure it out.
cheers all.
If I remember correctly, the files are stored in a different place in 4.2,2 then in 4.1.2. Do some searching to find the folder, and move your pictures there

ive tried moving folders and files..... but the issue is that the pics i have are in the same folder as the 1 pic i took once rooted..... so they are in the same folder. its like the gallery wont see anything else but what is taken from the camera now.
just stuck as to why its doing that..... had pics be seen in other folders before. i even have another folder on the root of the phone, well emulated sd card.... called Pics and it does not see those either.
noticed though that the camera does see the pics i took before but when i open the gallery to view those pics they are not there.
even booted into hboot and bootloader then restarted and still nothing.
oh and also i was already on 4.22 stock from verizon..... had some pics and a vid i took.... then rooted and now can't see pics and vid i took before I rooted.
found an answer i think
Ok think i figure out the issue.
the pictures i had on my device were not in a folder that the gallery app recognizes by default, so it was a naming issue and location issue. I moved the old pics taken with my camera before rooting to the folder labeled "Camera" and now the gallery an see all my images.
Before pics were in the folder named Camera....and now they are in a folder named 100MEDIA... very strange but happy it all ok now.
hope my issue helps someone sort out a problem if they ever have that issue like i did.
cheers all
