[Q] How to restore photos in stock gallery app? - Android 4.0.4

I was trying to get rid of Drop Box and other Picasa folder that was randomly created by cleaning the Camera app cache and it started to delete all my pictures one by one in about a minute.
But all my photos are still in DCIM folder and some other picture folders in SDCARD directory.
It's just that my stock gallery app can't find them, so it says I have 0 images...
I went to settings and looked at option like Backup and Restore as well as Account & sync (only has an option for Google Photos but this doesn't seem to be it). I disabled Backup and Restore by default.. I enabled them for a day but didn't do anything.
Is there a way to back up the pictures? Things like bookmark, contacts, pictures automatically backed up whenever I flashed new ROM or update them, but it seems like my phone deleted all of them this time...
Please help me out!

Gallery full of black thumbnails

Hi, my gallery is not detecting properly anymore the images on the phone, showing most of them as black thumbnails. I would like to reset the data, so it also synchronizes everything with picasa, because also those show as black thumbnails. So far only the camera folder and the whatsapp images show. The other camera folder (the one in the other memory) is showing as black.
How could I do this?
Thank you very much!

go to system--->apps-->"all" tab...search for picassa and gallery and in both clear data in it. reboot and let media scann finish scanning (can take several minutes)
Check how much space you have on your SD card(s), when youre running out of space it doesn't show thumbnails in the gallery properly.

Muchas gracias! Deleted Gallery data. Couldn't find Picasa though. Still no luck. Also deleted data for media storage. Apparently this one worked after rebooting.

[Q] Picasa web sync and Samsung Gallery...

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way of working around or solving this problem? Basically if I enable Picasa web sync, it pulls down all 7gb of photos to the phones storage which isn't ideal. The stock Jelly Bean gallery on my previous Galaxy Nexus did not do this, it just showed some thumbnails and then downloading the picture when you open it.
So possible options to solve the issue:
1) Get the apk for the stock Jelly Bean and use that gallery (if that would work?)
2) symlink from the phone storage to the external sd card for the gallery cache (I'm not sure if Android would allow that?)
3) use a different app from the play store.
4) anything else?
Regards.
Try going into settings then data usage then click on gallery and tick restrict background data
Thanks, but that's just going to limit the app. I'd like to be able to see all the photos but just as a thumbnail or stored on the card.

[SOLVED] Deleted pictures reappearing

Hi all,
Just wanted to put this information out there in case anybody else is pulling out their hair trying to figure this out.
PROBLEM:
Using the Google Photos app, upon deletion of pictures, a restart brings the pictures back. Occasionally caused corrupt pictures.
SOLUTION:
When I stopped using the photos app and used the LG gallery app, all seems to work fine.
Steps I took to resolve:
- Factory reset (5 times) - DIDN'T WORK
- Deleted 3rd party apps (Keep safe - Hides photos) - DIDN'T WORK
- Cleared gallery cache - DIDN'T WORK
- Deleted Photos from Googles Photos app - DIDN'T WORK
- Deleted photos from Gallery APP - WORKED
I found if you use a photo app that hides pics it usually hides them in the internal memory. So if you go back and pull a picture to hide that's located in your ext sd card it will just copy it. Best bet when wanting to delete or move a picture you are trying to hide make sure it's in the internal memory first.

Can't delete backed up photos from phone -Google Photos-

Hi all, I'm trying to delete my photos on my device which already backed up in Google Photos. When I open the app on my phone and tap free up space it keeps saying no items to remove. I can see all the photos in Google photos but I can't delete the device copy from my phone.
Any suggestions? cheers
I figured out that when you open the app from your phone you need to go to device folders tab and delete all the photos from there, that soved the issue.
Mods please close the thread.
Cheers
