This bug is present on stock 4.4.X firmware for GT-I9505G: the problem is that I open the default gallery application to delete some pictures saved on the external SD card and it disappears from the gallery, but the file still physically exists. If I restart my phone, it reappears in the gallery. The only way to delete the photo is to delete it through a file manager.

Pawit Pornkitprasan has solved this issue by changing media provider apk. I took the files from this rom by Danvdh.

I created a recovery flashable .zip package to install this fix.

All thanks to:
Pawit Pornkitprasan from Cyanogenmod delevopement

ONLY for 4.4.X
1.) Download the package and save to sdcard
2.) Reboot to recovery (CWM/TWRP)
3.) Flash the zip
4.) Reboot
