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!

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!

ok thunderbolt wont find my photos or music on the sdcard after root. they are still there checked with root explorer. any idea how to get them back??
Restart to see if the scanner will find them. If not, just install quickpic. It's a thousand times better than the stock gallery.

I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago. It happened about two weeks after I had rooted. I was not a happy camper and tried to reformat the card (after copying the contents to my PC) and that didn't work. I did put in the SD card from my OG Droid, copied the contents and voila - the pics showed up in the Gallery and the music in the player.
I went to my sales guy at the Verizon store and he told me to just call Sandisk and they would replace it. Just before I did that, I reformatted the disk, partitioned it and tried one more time to copy the files. To my surprise, everything is working great.
I know it is a hassle, but worth the try.
Good luck...
Download an app from the Market called SDrescan
Ive noticed for whatever reason sometimes the phone will not scan the sd card on its own.
Try that out it worked for me. Every Once in a Blue Moon Now I have to run it to get some pics /and/or any media for that matter to show up.
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.
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?
Comments withdrawn
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.
Okay, I noticed I had a huge amount of photos and videos, so I copied and pasted the folders under DCIM to my PC.
Today when i went to take new pictures, I hit the gallery icon at the lower right to review one of them, and it takes me to a page that flashes "camera shots" I think at the top real quick, and then ALBUMS with an arrow pointing down.
It used to show my recent pictures here, but now it shows...
"No photos found"
I've rebooted, I've cleared the camera and gallery settings, but this still exists. Pictures I've taken today are in the appropriate folders, the SD card is mounted, and there isn't a nomedia file in the folder. Help?
I hate gallery. It always does stupid junk like that. If you use USB disk transfer, you have to reboot before it recognizes the external SD. Sometimes, you just have to leave it alone for a few minutes and it will fix itself.
Thanks, yeah, it's been a few days, and about 12 reboots.
They show up in gallery, just not when I hit that shortcut icon.
I take that back, they are NOT showing up in the gallery, but they show up in ES File Explorer.
I also tried clearing HTC Sense settings, no good.
I tried wipe data through Titanium Backup, no help.
Anyone?

Have you tried clearing cache and dalvik in recovery?

That did it! Thank you so much, I was really stumped.
I wonder why that worked, and why I didn't think of it?

I believe i shot a video before i changed the setting on the camera to save to the external card.
I went through the whole system. (emulated/DCIM) and (extCard/DCIM) and even looked it up on ES file exploerer, but could not find it.
I am rooted.
Anyone know where the video file might be?
Thanks
Mine saved to extsdcard/dcim/camera. If not there I would open gallery long press the video to checkmark it hit settings and then details and itll tell you where its saved
Edit
When saving internally it saved mine to storage/emulated/0/dcim/camera
