I ran the HTC bootloader unlock last night, and now the gallery app doesn't see any of the photos that were in my dcim photos folder before I ran it. It sees any new photo I take, but but not any of the old ones in the same folder. I've remounted the sdcard and power cycled the phone with no luck. Any thoughts?

Have you tried to run a fix permissions to see if that allows the files to be indexed properly?

Not sure what you mean by that, so no, but they show up correctly in es file explorer (if that helps). How would I be able to find out if I need to fix permissions? It's probably also worth mentioning that other image apps, like quickpik, have no problem seeing all of the photos in that folder.
Thanks
Well if other apps see them, then the permissions may be fine.
have you tried clearing the cache through the Apps menu for Gallery?

I have - not only that, I've moved some pictures into a temporary folder to see if it would see them in a different folder, and it did. I've moved them back to the regular folder, and it still sees them in the new folder I created. I've even deleted that new folder completely, but it still sees all of those photos in this now non-existant folder.
What the hell? How do you get the gallery app to refresh properly?
Edit - and now it's duplicating gallerries. WTH? Is there any way to reinstall the stock gallery?
Here's what I did. Presumably this will fix all sorts of gallery issues.
1 - install SDrescan from the play store. This is the fourth sdcard rescanner I've tried to use to fix this, and the only one that worked correctly
2 - in app manager, stop the "Gallery" app, and clear data and cache
3 - in app manager clear data for the "Media Storage" app
4 - run the SDrescan app from step 1, wait for it to finish
5 - wait a few minutes, reboot, wait some more, and the gallery should be correct.

My NT is using indirect's root and I had the stock apps removed. Every time I reboot, pandora, netflix, and hulu plus always show back up after I uninstall them. Any clue why they come back after a reboot? My netflix app always asks for an update and I have two copies of pandora on there.
you have to first go to root--->system---->app find the app and delete.
then uninstall
then reboot
(may need to change permissions to delete the crap)
I had this same issue, and one of the best ways to prevent it is before trying to delete/uninstall theme, is to go into the stock app manager and archive everything, this unregistered the flag that says they should be there on the device at all from B&N's perspective, and ensures they won't just suddenly appear again. I had the same issue with Netflix continually reverting to B&N's version instead of the newest version.

i'm not seeing a system folder in root... do i need to use a specific app to change permissions? i've already gone through several folders on the nook and on the memory card trying to track the apps down and can't find anything...

how do you archive everything? by the stock app manager i'm assuming you mean the menu where it lists all your apps...
market--->es file explorer
install
open---->top right( star for favs) click. THen select the phone object thing. (/) is under mine
root will open up
click system(should be before vendor folder)
click on App folder(before Bin folder)
select app---> change permissions so you can delete
after delete uninstall that app(which you deleted)
reboot and it should be gone

netflix was the only one i saw in the folder, but i uninstalled them all from within es and now they aren't coming back after reboot. thanks!
nevermind, **** came back. why aren't they in the folder you said and why is netflix still coming back after i deleted it?
honestly, that makes no sense. please post a picture on image shack or something and link it so we can see
Hey,
I have a navigation folder with images in it. I put a .nomedia in the file to prevent the images from showing up in gallery. However, they do still show in gallery. Am I doing something wrong? Im dumbfounded now....
OK Well I have quickpic installed. I added .nomedia file to a directory and it instantly disappeared from quickpic but not from the samsung gallery, even after a reboot.
I removed the file and it instantly showed back in Quickpic. Added and it went again.
So either;
1) The Samsung gallery ignores this .nomedia
2) The Samsung gallery does not necessarily scan the SDcard on a reboot and hasn't found the .nomedia file yet.
All I can do is wait to see if at somepoint, that directory disappears from samsung gallery.
As a work around, use quickpic as a gallery replacement perhaps.
Samsung gallery only scans it on first time, so
Place .nomedia files in all the folders you do not want displayed in Gallery
Go to settings - apps - gallery
Clear cache, clear data, force close
Go to settings - apps - media storage
Clear cache, clear data, force close
Hard reset (cold boot) this will not delete any data

that worked like a charm. Stupid me, this happened to me before on CM9 using sgs2. The AOSP gallery was exactly the same.....
I think it also works if you :-
unmount the SD card,
run the gallery app and let it sort itself out,
close the gallery app,
mount the SD card,
run the gallery app again
It's WORKSSSS !! THAAAAAAAANKKKSSS...
All my picasa album gone from my phone gallery.. lool :laugh: :laugh:
Send from my GALAXY S !!!
put a .nomedia file in folder where gallery doesn't scan, it will exclude subfolder too.
rename that folder as .foldername and try to open gallery, it will crash.
rename back to foldername and open gallery ... no more unwated pics.
Hi All,
my issue is related to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44940570#post44940570 but i guess the thread is dead now.
The problem is when i access my gallery it closes and gives me a message that says, "Not enough space, please delete uneccessary items...bla bla."
the solution i used to fix this is to uninstall instagram and reboot my phone. but when i try reinstalling instagram again, the issue comes back.
anyone who has a better fix rather than uninstalling instagram?
BTW, im sure all my storage still has plenty of free space on them. so it is impossible that storage is really the problem.

Don't know about gallery problem, but if you have root you can go to /data/app folder and look for an .odex file (for instagram) and delete it. Reboot now and it should work to install instagram

Then go to CWM wipe data and reboot.
BACKUP BEFORE
Wipe data will deletre all apps, so you should back them up.
There's no need for that. Flash the script from this thread, it should solve your problem without wiping any app or data:

I tried this and i was unsuccessful. I flashed it then accessed gallery and it still has the "not enough space" issue.
Delete some of your videos and pic or move them to pc its will be solve

Quite weird. Maybe you should try a full wipe then.. Or flash the script another time, because that worked for me sometimes. Another (temporary) sollution is to download another gallery fron the Play Store.
an update, i wiped my phone and still the issue is there.
i cannot also take photos now, when i try to capture a photo it is not saving on either phone or sd card.
Same problem with me, my solution is open root explorer then go to sd card then change mount r/o to r/w. but it is just temporary solution
i dont know how to fix it rightly.
I had the same problem before.its because corrupted folders. .try read this..and followed the guide

Hello. I'm not very experienced with android and recently got a new z ultra (6802). I think it came with 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 i'm not sure, but as soon as i turned it on i was notified to update to 4.4.4. All went well and one of the first apps i installed was clean master. I hadnt tried to root the phone and i was thinking about it mostly in order to get rid of some preinstalled apps, but i found out that clean master had an option to "deactivate" them so they disappeared and all was fine. The last few weeks i loaded the phone with all sorts of useless stuff i wanted to try, and today i tried rooting it using this tool and everything worked ok. Then i did a hard reset and started setting everything up again... But this time clean master, root app delete and 2 other apps of the same type wouldnt uninstall system apps (despite having root access now). Any ideas on what to do? Is it because of the root - should i try to unroot it? Where can i find these ftfs needed? I saw some in the forum but they are for 6833..

Well, clean master is one of the app I hate most. Killing app processes frequently and clearing app caches are the bad ideas for android devices because android system always try to restart apps everytime you kill. So it greatly reduces battery life. Clearing caches can make apps to start slowly.
That's not the point, right? But just a suggestion not to use task killers and cache cleaner if you have enough RAM and storage space.
Ok now for your problem not uninstalling system apps,
-Install ES File Explorer
-Tap the upper left of the app (three striped shape)
-Tap Tools, Tap Root Explorer (not on the button "On") giving/allowing/authorize root access
-Now Tap Mount R/W and choose every partition as R/W then Tap OK
-Let's get back to explorer, Tap the upper left box labelled as "/" (it will redirect you to root of the Device)
-Go to "system" folder in explorer
-There are two folders in Kitkat, namely "app" and "priv-app"
You can now choose apps to be uninstalled that you couldn't uninstall inside these folders by removing any apps (and .odex files) by Long pressing on apps and choose multi apps at once.
For me, I don't delete apps that I wanted to uninstall but I cut them and create a new folder on sd card and paste them all in that new folder for later needs (you can navigate to internal or external storage from the upper right box of the Explorer, to create new folder, tap on the button with "+" sign at the bottom left corner of the app). Don't delete apps that you don't know well because doing so can prevent your device from booting up.
P.S. You can also install apps as system ones in that reverse way (copy, paste from external to system/app). Remember not to include space in the name of the app you wanted to install as system.
Remember to restart the devices after moving/deleting apps.
I think you now understand how to do. Good Luck, mate.
Thanks for taking the time to help! and es file explorer looks like a really nice app. i followed your instructions and moved some of the apk and matching odex to sd card. the problem is the apps didnt dissapear from the list and as soon as i was done play store was downloading new versions of the apps i moved... what i dont understand is why it worked in the first place when it was new! could it be the sony firmware it came with? since this failed, is there an app to freeze these things?

One thing I left to say that you must restart your device as soon as you finish moving/deleting system apps. After rebooting, the device system will delete app leftovers. It will solve your problem of not disappearing from the list.
I get this error when I try to download Pandora from the market. I searched how to fix it but nothing works for me. One of the solutions was to go to the root folder then data/data to delete the left over data from the phone But it's empty. Any help would be appreciated. I transferred a bunch of stuff over from my old phone so I think I brought over some data too.
Any update on this??
Delete the entire folder if you can that normally fixes it for me. Also try restarting the phone, that might work too.

Are you rooted? Does this error only happen for certain apps or all apps? If it's for certain apps you might want to find any files that are used by the app and delete them, on both internal and external storage.
I normally fixed this on my s3 by deleting the app folder in /data/data but I don't think you can do that without being rooted.
Yes im rooted I was using pandora I deleted but when trying to install the new version the error appear, and the phone is running on art..and yes I enter android/data but no folder associated with pandora.

Not android/data but /data/data from root. It's in there that you have to delete the folder associated with Pandora. You need some sort of file manager that can go into that area, I use ES file manager but you can use whatever app you want.
Thanks for your help, I use ES file but inthe data/ data there in no folder..I'm trying to upload a screenshot but I cant
