Pictures disappeared - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I need some help figuring out what has happened. I'm on beans rom, perseus kernel, clean install. I have my camera set to save pics to my 32gb sdcard. Suddenly my pics were not showing up in the gallery. After looking around I see my dcim/camera folder has changed to the "c" looking like the pi symbol. And there is a folder called lost.dir that has all my pictures, but they are renamed with just numbers and no extension. If I put .jpg at the end of one of these files it is definitely my pics. I have them always backing up to dropbox, so I didn't lose anything, but I really want to know what happened. Anyone have a clue?

I was never able to find mine. Set the Camera to store on the 32Gb Sandisk and they were never stored. Just tried it again today using Beans this time and the same result. I dont know what the problem is, but I'm willing to wager it's a Camera bug.

Now to answer your question, this is a common issue people are experiencing with Beans and the Perseus kernel. Be advised that the Perseus kernel might be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but if you don't understand what it's doing and how it changes some of the things you're describing, well .... let's just say that you might wind up posting on XDA a question like you both have asked.
Now, not all ROMs that use this kernel have this issue, and likewise not all ROMs that use other kernels have this issue. I run CleanROM 4.5 w/Perseus 33.4 and it runs like a madman with his hair on fire.
What I would suggest to you is this:
1. If you like the Beans ROM, then try the following:
- Redownload the ROM
- Wipe your Cache, Dalvik, System, Internal Storage, Format Data, and Internal Memory (Use TWRP) and for god sakes make sure that you have saved the Beans ROM on your extSD as well as your backup.
-Reflash
-After reflashing, wipe Cache and Dalvik again
-----If you didn't select Perseus during the installation procedure (if it's offered), then after you boot up into Beans, go back to recovery and flash the kernel by itself.
If this doesn't solve the problem, then try flashing another kernel and see if that helps. PBJ and Saber are quite popular as well.
2. Try a different ROM with the Perseus kernel. CleanROM 4.5 ACE is out, it's amazing, and Perseus 33.4 works great on it. Be advised that it's not integrated into the AROMA installer and that you'll need to manually flash it in TWRP. No big deal at all so don't be intimidated. Just be advised that you still should wipe your Cache and Dalvik after flashing both the ROM originally and the kernel afterwards.
Hopefully this will point you both in the right direction!
Where are my props lol :good::good::good:

Ha, good call. I dont recall what setup I was using in the past when I had the problem, but I'm on Beans10 and Perseus that installs on his Aroma option. I'll have to try PBJ after he finishes uploading B11.

Keep in mind that you can do a separate kernel flash over your current beans install. Just go to the Original Android Development Subsection and find the Perseus kernel or other kernels. Be sure to back up your stuff in TWRP prior to flashing!!!
Btw, I updated the signature to include the donate link everyone's been asking about lol :fingers-crossed::good:

Are you using the sd swap feature on the kernel? I had the same problem until I switch where my pictures were stored

No, I've never tried the swap. Everything worked fine for a long time, then suddenly this happened. My main concern is that I've heard several report failing sdcards. I just wanted to understand what might have triggered it to suddenly fail.
