i'm on archos 10i newest firmware but my gallery doesn't read all my pictures that's in sd card? do you have any solution for this? i tried to install the gallery 3d 2.2 but it can't install...

Have you tried updating the media library:
Settings>Storage>Update multimedia library
or
Settings>Repair and formatting>Reset multimedia library

i tried and not working

same problem.
try this:
delete all image
take a folder with +/- 100 images and paste in archos.
disconect archos from pc
let it upgrade media library.
then repeat for oyher images
you must disconnect the archos from pc all times it's very important and let it upgrade the galley

I'm having the same problem. I still haven't found a solution.

android gallery showed a message "limited to 10,000 photos "
I tested QuickPic , but not ordered tree mode, it is impossible to find a picture.
and justpictures, that tree so you do not see subfolders.
you know decent program to see photos?
sorry for my English

I think you should try free app Justpictures. It is much better than the stock one. You can choose which folders to build catalog (not everywhere like the stock one, which causes everything slow down).
Justpictures also allow you to link to your Picasa and Flickr accounts. A very neat and fast software.

Is it possibel to remove the stock one app?

[APP] Gallery for Nook

I really wanted to browse my pics stored on Picasa and I'm pretty fond of the Google Gallery app (I know there are others out there).
So I installed this from Astro and lo and behold it worked on the Nook Color! Enjoy!

After installation, go to your GMAIL application and select Settings > Accounts. Add a new google account, then select your current gmail account (re-add it) or select from the google account associated with Picasa.
Great Tip dascud!

Worked for me too - thanks for the tip!
Worked for me too. However, I could not get my picasa albums to sync initially.
I had to go to my GMAIL app and add my (same) account again which gave me the option to sync my picasa albums and everything works fine now.
I'm lost on the Nook Color and photo viewing, not to mention videos.
I have tried just about every app I can think, researched until I'm blue in the face, but no matter what I do, if I drop 80 photos taken by your typical-everyday camera into a directory, and copy this directory to the mounted micro-SD card, this device nearly has a stroke just creating thumbnails.
At this point, the Gallery app mentioned in this thread shows the grid of photos, and about 10 of 80 actually have a thumbnail that was created, the other 70 thumbnails on the grid turned from gray to black while the application struggled to create the thumbnails.
With 32 GB of storage space, there's no way I could manage hundreds (or thousands) of photos. I must be doing something wrong here, so much storage space, no way to use it.
Cool.. with it could also see my uPnP server
works great on my NC, thanks a lot!

I've been having problems with unresized images. The resized ones display fine. I'll do a batch resize to see if that works for my photos.
Any help or new information would be much appreciated. There are a couple of apps out there that can take care of the video, but I just can't locate anything else that can deal with photos.
This is frustrating, as I purchased this device specifically over other devices that don't allow for removable storage, but what good is 32 GB of data if you can't sort it and find stuff properly?
See this thread for a really fantastic photo app.

Time to get more pics on my NC.
Check out Picasa Tool Pro. It's really nice and free

OMG that fixed my calendar too. I could hug you right now.

What did you change to allow this? I rooted with Auto Nooter and everytime I try to install an app from Astro I get the following message: "Install Blocked"
I also tried with Root Explorer and still nothing. I am sure I am missing something very easy. Thanks in advance

I wish I could download ALL of my Picasa images to my Nook.. But I have yet to find anything that'll do it. A few apps will let me download individual pictures, but I can't suck down the whole thing.
Picasa Tool Pro, as mentioned, is a nice tool, but as far as I can tell it has a batch uploader but not downloader. Although I'm going to check it out for the upload facility, pictures I take on my Nexus One I'd like to make to Picasa.
Honestly I still haven't figured out a halfway sane method of keeping my N1 and NC in sync.

Entertainment Center stuck

hello my atrix's entertainment center gets stuck upon selecting to browse each media category. Once I select videos or music I just get that "orange waiting box" for like eternity. I am using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409&highlight=keyboard+language which is the standard international rom for atrix. Any ideas? I have some videos I want to play from internal storage
Freezing on Motorola Entertainment Center Splash Screen
Similar issues on a Bell Atrix 2.3.6.
Mine used to hang when going through the pictures or videos menu..
Now it hangs on the splash screen and doesn't even load. Sometimes the glimmering bit shows and freezes, sometimes it just says "Motorola Entertainment Center." After 30s or less it asks to Force Close or just closes on its own.

have you tried reducing the number of media files on your device?
I'm still trying to get mine to work too, but trimming the files got me past the splash screen at least. now i'm just stuck with the "Loading" circle and "waiting" inside each category - same as you i guess.
I would say my dcim/thumbnails definitely has an influence on the entertainment center. so maybe the gallery also plays a part. still messing around with deleting the thumbnails folder, refreshing it, etc.
problem solved!
i found the place where the thumbnail data is stored, which was making the huge thumbnail file and crashing Entertainment Center.
it isn't storing the entire ".thumbdata3--1967290299" file (which can be hundreds of mb for some people), rather a large (tens of mb) .db database file that is being used to recreate it on demand.
/data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases
external.db
with Root Explorer i could view the file, and Speed Software also sells an sql editor which you can use to trim the thumbnails table.
*be careful: deleting entries from this file also seems to delete it from the device! i deleted all records from the thumbnails and images tables..
learn from my mistake. i thought it would regenerate, but it deleted all images from /sd card. good thing i backed up all my photos first, but better to use the filter option and trim out only the records for files that are no longer on the device.
".thumbdata3--1967290299" now reappears, but a whole lot smaller.
Gallery opens so much faster now, and Entertainment Center works again!
hope it helps!

Thanks for that, but what if the images are not the problem, but music or videos? I have tons of music on my SDCard and I don't know exactly what to delete in that database.
I tried using SDRescan as proposed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28516079&postcount=6, but that didn't help.
I've done some more research and found a solution here: http://www.mobilephonetalk.com/show...in-memory-card&p=311954&viewfull=1#post311954. After I deleted the .thumbdata3 file, created a blank one with Root Explorer and removed write permission to it, the file stays at 0 bytes and Camera and Gallery apps still work fine.

if you still have all the music, deleting entries from the database won't solve anything because they will just be recreated the next time you open gallery.
your fix is probably the best for your situation.

I just want to add, that it's the camera app causing the thumbdata3 to grow, each picture you take. (I verified file size change after taking pictures.) I'm trying the solution by creating the dummy file and making it read only now.

[Q] Better way to natively browse/upload files?

Hey guys,
A consistent problem I have with using an android tablet and phone is the annoying way I have to upload files to things through the browser, such as imgur or blackboard. Right now, the process is
upload file to drive - upload to whatever i'm uploading to
Reason for this is that when I click "upload from computer" on any website, the options available are gallery, camera, dropbox, etc, but no pure file browser. Unless there's some way to get the gallery to act as a file browser, I'm stumped. Any solutions?

Storage sorting or google photos problem with mi a3

Hello everyone, ever since upgrading to android 10 im having a weird issue with pictures in my phone.
1. im using an chatting app called viber, for some reason i cant share screenshots within the apps photo share icon, some time before my screenshots didnt even show up there, i could find them manually but trying to send it gives "file not found" , now i can see them without searching for them, but still cant share them.
2. other thing is some pictures just randomly disappear from my google photos app, usually edited screenshots, after some time they are just gone.
3. downloading pictures from chat in one of the games i play "rise of kingdoms" also disappear after some time, those pictures are stored in "Pictures" folder created after the first download, but that folder/album later on is just gone from my photos app, those are also in annoying jpg!large format that i cant even open from file manager app until i remove !large extension.
btw all the things mentioned above , photos are not removed, they are still in my phone i can find them all in my file manager but i cant see them in google photos app, i also cant see them from any other chatting app when i want to share pictures. camera photos, photos downloaded with google chrome , seem to be fine and they never got removed from google photos so far.
have a feeling its something related to mi a3's storage managment cause i tried another gallery app and it doesnt show all my pictures as well, anyone having the same issues?
thanks.

I do have the same kinda issue with photos. For example, I want to share a pic while being in WhatsApp, Viber but it won't show me all the folders of the pics. I have to go to Gallery and share it from there.

I keep changing ROMs, but still the same thing.

Some recently taken photos/videos are only accessible by Google Photos, appear to be in its app data and not movable

Very peculiar issue occurring: there are a fair amount of photos and videos that show up under google photos under library -> photos on device -> camera with SDCard Icon.
But the location for these files is "/external/video/media" or "/external/image/media" under ""On Device (size)." The other files taken in a similar way are correctly on "/storage/9C32-13OC/DCIM/Camera"
When clicking these files, they play normally, clicking share and More or Create Link says "Error, could not download media" and using Google Photos to Move / Copy says "Trouble Moving 1 item"
When ejecting the SDCard and physically removing it while keeping Google Photos open, all the files actually on /storage/<ID> disappear, and all these weird files remain and can be played. This is how I discovered it wasn't just today's videos, which were mysteriously not being uploaded to my nextcloud. No other app can see these videos/images, including the system's gallery app, and they are not in the internal emulated "SDcard"
These are on my SO's phone and I use the exact same model phone. I did discover that I do have some files like these but hey are all older than the oldest file on my SDCard, e.g. Google Photos has somehow decided to cache them. But on my SO's phone, these files are intermingled with the ones she's actually taken
Interestingly when I switch the google photos account to another google user logged on the phone, those files disappear. I did try moving files to the locked folder but it says "Trouble moving to Locked Folder. Try again later"— I did verify I could move files actually on the SDCard there, and they are then removed from all views except Locked Folder.
In this folder, on the top right when clicking the SDCard Icon, it does show the "SD Card folder" as "file:///storage/9C32-13OC/DCIM/Camera" as expected.
I searched for the filename in a file browser as well as in adb shell (using find / -name "filename" 2> /dev/null) and nothing comes up. As there are some lengthy videos in here, I used DiskUsage to see what might be using a lot of space, and the Google Photos app is using 7.55 GB of data, so it seems like they are being stored there. And it makes sense why they can't be found, as /data/data/com.google.android.apps.photos is only accessible by that app or the system, and I'm unrooted.
My SO said she took them the same way she normally takes photos and video, and of course when I take some they show up on the actual SDCard. I suppose in theory I could use adb backup and follow instructions on how to decrypt the data files, but really what the heck is going on?
We aren't on the latest phone or even the latest Google Photos app (could be a bug with this specific version, but then again google photos isn't taking the photos/videos, the system Camera app is). I could try upgrading her google photos but I also don't want to lose these videos of our kid. It does seem like it would back them up, but we don't have enough Google Storage to back them up online (hence why we use nextcloud), and they don't even show up under different google accounts as mentioned.
Phone: LG G7
Android 10
Google Photos: 6.21.0.504361003

Well this didn't work, as google photos does not back up with adb, as some apps can specify this.
Some of these videos did get uploaded to google photos, but they are (now) compressed to under 1/8th their size (the original size is noted correctly in google photos), and from 4k to HD.
From what I had recalled, when they are first uploaded, they are available at their original size to be downloaded. So I tried deleting one to get it to re-upload, and now that video no longer shows up on my SDCard under "/external/video/media" so I basically lost the original HQ video of my kid, great.
Any ideas?
