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!

All my pictures are still in SDCARD/DCIM/Camera directory and other directories where jpeg files are, but my ICS stock Gallery app cannot detect them ever since I cleaned the Camera app and Gallery app cache..
Is there any way to get them back to display on my Gallery app?
I tried
1) reflashing GAPPS
2) Move the pictures out from DCIM folder, reboot, and put it back on
3) Sync manually
4) Reset settings to default (camera app)
None of them seem to work... only new pictures that I take shows up..
Everytime I flash a new ROM I have to start from square 0 with contact pictures. Does anyone knows a method to use the saved contacts (with nice pictures) from previous ROM in the new ROM and keep the contact's nice pictures size previously saved? I tried:
- MyBackup pro
- Titanium Backup
- Save the contacts folder from data/data and paste it to the new ROM
None of the above was working: everytime I had small contact pictures in the Contacts.
Thank you.
My contacts are backed up to google. Therefore when I flash a new rom and log into google all my contacts and pictures are there.
Yes I agree with you. But when you restore contacts from Google into your phone, the contacts pictures are resized to 96x96 even in your phone the picture was full size. This is my problem. How to restore the contacts in the new ROM and keep the contacts pictures at the full size.
Best regards.
I got a Galaxy S3 (International Edition) just yesterday
I enabled it to pull stuff from my google accounts, but then when I'm going to open the contacts, I see a bunch of my gmail contacts
How can I remove those from the phone? Selecting to display 'only contacts with phones' seems to fix it, but the email contacts are still available to be seen if one goes to settings and sets to display all contacts again
The same happens with the gallery application, it has like one album for each image I've ever published in Google+, I can set it to display only images from the phone, but then this is not a permanent setting, everytime I exit the Gallery app and re-enter it, it will display all the images from G+ (and I've heard that it will scan the microSD at launch for images, so it will become a clutter of every possible image it can find in the SD)
I have now disabled the sync of google contacts / g+ stuff to the phone, from settings -> accounts and sync -> uncheck sync google photos/google+/picasa web albums/contacts, so it doesn't pull down new stuff anymore, but the old stuff is still there
Is there any way to remove that?
Is there a good gallery app that will not scan the whole SD for media, nor will pull stuff from picasa/google+?
Thanks!
quick pic is the gallery app for you, you can select which folders to see, or just long press a folder and hit exclude

I'm also using quick pic and happy with it. Simple but does the work better then stock gallery app.
...so it doesn't pull down new stuff anymore, but the old stuff is still there

Now just delete local files and you should be fine.
If you have a lot of them I would suggest to use File Browser such as ASTRO.
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
So I was using FilmicPro and attempted to move the files out of the app. Files disappeared. Some amazing shots no less. Any way to recovery files without root with an app or Windows program that isn't a total scam?
Maybe you can find the photos backed up online? Do you have online Google Photos backup for photos taken? My Google Photos asks if I want to back up video and pictures from various apps also, like WhatsApp or Facebook. It's not just backing up the DCIM folder.
Also as an Amazon Prime member and Dropbox user, I have photos automatically backed up to those locations also.
