Gallery force closing

[Tiller828]

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...

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!
