Got this today and love it but the pics don't show up in the Gallery until I rename them and remove the 'cameraZOOM' prefix part of the file name. Anyone else have this?

No. I installed the app today, and I am able to see the pics just fine in the gallery.
Judging from the lack of response, I'd say it looks like I'm the only one who has this.
I've been playing with more since my original post and what's really weird is that:
1) Pictures I take using the RAZR's stock camera app (not using Camera Zoom FX) show up right away in Gallery - and they are all in the same external SD folder.
2) After I powered off my phone, then turned it back on, the pictures I took using Camera Zoom (but not renaming the files) show up in Gallery. Although any new ones don't until I turn it off and on again.
This is strange. I installed QuickPic and it sees the pics right away, no matter which program I used to take them.
When you installed it, did you use Camera Zoom FX folder or the phone camera folder?
I installed to my external SD card with the path /sdcard-ext/dcim/Camera
For some reason, Gallery won't see them until I reboot. QuickPic sees them right away.

So I decided over the weekend to finally take the plunge. I unlocked my phone and then rooted it. While setting everything back up I noticed that the gallery wouldn't show any pictures. Here are the steps I have taken to trouble shoot:
1. Took a pic with my camera. It showed up on the corner to access the gallery, but nothing was there.
2. Changed the wallpaper with a gallery pic. This pulled up the gallery with all of my pictures.
3. Removed and re-installed my SD card.
4. Unmounted and remounted the SD card.
5. Downloaded Gallery3d and accessed it that way. That pulls up just fine.
Anyone got an idea of what I'm missing?
Thanks.
Stock gallery only sees the internal card. Maybe you changed the camera to store in SD which would be the external card. I don't know but for this reason I started to use QuickPic and I like it 1000000000 times better than the stock gallery.

No, the stock gallery showed the SD card no problem before I messed with it. But I am hearing a lot about QuickPic. Can I set that to the default when I'm in my Camera as well for a quick view?

Unfortunately no, it will only use Gallery. I don't mind gallery for previews but creating albums etc, too much hassle with Gallery.
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.
I put several 1080P wallpapers into the camera directory, but none of them show up in the HTC stock gallery app.
But when I changed the files' names to the sequence which the camera app uses, and the pictures showed up.
I never used Sense nor any HTC products before, so I do not know if that is just how the app was designed or not. But it certainly is inconvenient.
So I would rather want to use the 4.2 gallery or the stock Android gallery...Is it safe to push that app through adb?
How did you get the pics on the phone? I had a similar issue, pics a download in the browser would show up in the gallery but the pics that I unzipped from my drop box would not show up. I cleared data for gallery, wiped caches and they still wouldn't show up. I had to do a factory reset for the unzipped pics to show up in the gallery. This was after unlocking/rooting. Don't know if I would've had the same issues stock but didn't try it before unlocking.

In the camera folder it probably only looks for the names that the camera uses, which would make sense. Put them in a different folder.

Already tried it before i found the solution stated above, but no other directories than the camera folder is recognized by the gallery app.

can you us es file explorer? It has a gallery and should give you the option of where to look.
Just for wallpapers at least.

I have Root Explorer which does the same, but it does not show up on the selections for choosing a wallpaper. However, Root Explorer and other third party media apps do show up on my Galaxy S3...I guess Sense limits the use of the third party alternatives.

That's weird. I can see them with my Incredible. Why would they take that feature out?
Edit: are you sure you aren't in the camera section of the gallery already? You can't use back to see folders or find a way to bring up a menu? If you have facebook set up, you should be able to access facebook photos from the gallery as well (unless they also took this away). If you can't see anything but camera shots, there's probably a menu you aren't finding...

I guess HTC wanted people to use their stock apps exclusively.
There is only one album named 'My Phone', which contains the pictures taken by the camera and screenshot, but not imported pictures anywhere in the SD storage
Yep, my phone picks and chooses which photos in the download folder it will show. If I import from Box, it won't show but if I import from Dropbox, it will... Annoying and weird.

I was having the same issue. except i keep all my wallpaper images in the zedge\wallpaper folder so that my wallpaper changer has one directory to pull from. when i transferred them from my old phone's SD card to the DNA they showed up but then when i went to add some more images they would not show up since the gallery doesn't automatically rescan to find new photos when it opens.
i did download the Gallery Refresh app as stated above and it worked perfectly in making the gallery rescan the storage for new images. Thanks CISGS. much appreciated
:highfive:

Hi,
It didn't happened on my device, may I know which path you put 1080p wallpapers?
Is under \Internal storage\DCIM\100MEDIA\ ??
Thanks.
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
Hey everyone I'm running maximus 5.5 from MJ.
I recently added about 1k pictures to my sd card from my computer.
Now my gallery won't work.
Every time I open it, it says android process has stopped.
I've cleared media, gallery, works, and fixed permissions trying to get it to work.
If I clear my gallery it will work for 1-2 minutes then close.
I can use es explorer and access everything though.
All jpeg files.
It just hit me that they are named could that really matter?
Besides that I'm dumbfounded any advice would be great!

Added pics now gallery won't work
Clear gallery, it will work momentarily
At a loss of ideas
Can access everything from es explorer fine

What if you download a different gallery from play store to see if it works?

If you believe that the cause is the volume of the photos, try the following...
Turn off all cast sync,
Turn off sharing in the gallery,
Unzip the nomedia file and stick it anywhere on your SD card and internal storage where thumbnails abound, use it only after you read the threads out there on this topic...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575682
Finally, you could check to see if there are dependencies that are needed for the gallery included with your rom. If you are using the stock TouchWiz gallery, I'm unaware of any.
I hope this helps.
Good luck.

Ok so I tried that, apparently I did something wrong or I don't even know.
When I put the nomedia file in, none of my pictures came up.
On the plus side my gallery didn't force close (stock gallery btw).
So I took the nomedia files out and still nothing (gallery still hasnt crashed though yay)
I can go to ES File explorer and look into my SD card and find my pictures. I can see them that way.
I cleared my gallery to see if that was the issue but still nothing.
I took a pic to see if that would do it. I have the pic I took, but all my sd card pics are MIA.
Fixed (for now anyway)
I took the micro sd card out and put it in my computer to transfer the files. (forgot to mention that)
Anyway I decided to unmount and remount the sd card.
now it works.
Thanks!
