either camera or gallery app broken? please help.:( - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i've been using my mytouch 3g fine the past few weeks with cyanogen mod 5 but recently i flashed cyanogen mod 6 and i didnt like the progress on it yet so i did complete system wipe and i restored my nandroid backup of cyanmod5. The problem i noticed was that when i turn on my camera app (the default one) it works fine until you take a picture. after the picture is taken there should be a little preview box with the picture on the top right hand corner but it's just black there and when i press it nothing happens. so then i put my sd card in my computer and the picture didnt save either. So i downloaded two other camera apps FxCamera and cameramagic and both of them forceclosed when trying to save. so i go into my gallery and it crashes without even giving me the message. So im guessing this problem has to do with the gallery app right? and if so how can i fix it?

help please?

Hmmm.... Haven't had any problems with mine. Have u tried wiping and reflashing?

Which version of cm5 are you using? The first roms of the cm5.0.7-test series had problems with the camara previews. Make sure you are using the latest cm5.0.8.
Also you don't need to wipe prior to a nandroid =p

Gallery behaving weird and displaying all the pics as one.

I have Milestone running CM7 RC3 latest build and it was working fine till last night . I wanted to update my dock using Launcherpro so browsed to gallery to change the custom dock and after that I opened gallery again and to my notice all my gallery pictures ( around 1200) has one picture assigned to all the 1200 pics. Last night it was the Androidiani Logo which took place all over my galllery , then i formatted my complete SD card and loaded all the pics again . And again as i tried using LP to select custom dock , the same thing repeated but this time it assigned a Flixie wallpaper to all my pictures.
But the weirdest thing is that , If I open gallery using Cm7 file manager , i can browse to all my pics , but not with the default gallery , i even tried downloading and trying with Quickpic , but it says there is no picture in your sdcard, is it mounted or not ?
Can anyone here solve the issue please , its giving me night mares , as i cant keep formatting my sdcard and loosing my apps and files again and again.
I had replied in the CM7 thread but what the heck...
look for files named .nomedia
Or try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.studiokuma.nomedia
I just installed it , but it has no effect . Still one pic assigned to all the other pics
I replied on your post o. The cm7 thread too. I gueass I'll repost it here.
Try clearing the gallery's thumbnail cach. It's In /sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris..something, I think. Reboot your phone, and wait until the phone finishes scanning your sdcard, ghen open the gallery. If you have a lot of pics, it's going to take a while to rebuild the thumbnails.

Best option is to ditch Gallery3d and get QuickPic from market.
I just formatted my sdcard and reapplied the CM7 mod . So lets see if the same thing happens again , then i ll comment back. Thanks for the comments guys

[SOLVED]Camera Previews stuck "loading", need help.

When I take a picture using the stock camera App and then try to view it, it only shows me a blurry preview and it just says "loading" in the middle, but never loads the picture no matter how long I wait.
When I go to the stock gallery, I can see all of my pictures, but when I click on any of the thumbnails it does the same thing.
I am currently running stock 5.7.893, deodexed. Only mods I have made is this one from Droidjunk - Power Menu with Reboot & Reboot Recovery.
Otherwise everything is working great.
I downloaded QuickPik from the market and it works great. All pictures load just fine, as they should. Only problem I can't get QuickPik to load from within the camera app.
So it appears to be an issue with the stock gallery app.
The deodexer does that. I spoke with droid junk who indicated he cant fix it.
Ahhh... thanks for the info. That would explain it then.

A pain of a problem

Press your menu button and choose Manage Apps. From there find the Media Storage app, and select the Clear Data option. Reboot your phone, and the problem should be fixed

Yeah, it was a pretty common problem for most people flashing to early versions of ICS roms, I think its a one time fix though - so you won't see it happen as you flash any other ROMs.
Glad to help
Also noticed another problem. Using the stock camera as it saves to SD is fine but if you use a 3rd party camera in my case camera FX so as to save to emmc you can't delete pictures/videos, they will remove from gallery but not the card and will pop back up again in the gallery unless deleted through file explorer.

[Q] Camera not saving photos and other strange goings on..

So I've had no problems up until a few days ago when if I try and take a photo on the camera it appears to work but the gallery icon in the corner of the camera still shows the last taken photo and opening the gallery also only shows the old photos. I also had an issue where I was receiving text messages and I could read them in the notification bar but when I opened the text to reply the new one wasn't there, I deleted a bunch of other messages but this didn't work but when i deleted the thread for the specific contact when a new one arrived it worked fine.
I've tried turning the phone off and one and I have a reasonable amount of space on the SD, so I'm baffled why I can't take any new photos!
Any help would be great, cheers!

I had a near identical issue where I would take a photo, the gallery icon would not update, and the photo was never saved. Also if I opened gallery no camera photos were there.
I backed up my DCIM folder, deleted all the images in 100MEDIA, updated my rom (ARHD), and it started working again.
I would try deleting all images in 100MEDIA then rebooting first.
Did you change the date on your phone?

No never touched it. I think the root of my problem was after upgrading from a 4.2 to 4.3 rom I manually moved my pictures to the new directory structure. The sense camera app does not appear to like that it did not write those files itself.

Gallery issues after updating to 4.3

hi all
i've formatted my completely stock HTC ONE after upgrading to 4.3 and i found 2 issues:
1. when i transferred my pictures and videos from laptop to the phone all photos and videos were showing the same date of transfer and when i view them in gallery the videos appear all one after another , not like how i took them...few photos, one video and one zoe...etc. Its like showing all photos and when scrolling down all videos...
is there a way to fix this? i have a lot of photos from my travel and i would like to keep them in the correct order.
2. my apps where automatically re installed cz i backed everything up on my google account ( an option in the phone ) so i found some of the apps have those old three dots in the lower side of the screen for the settings, the ones cancelled by the 4.2.2 upgrade. anybody knows how i got those back??? shall uninstall and re install again?
any help is appreciated
Thank you
Jamel
