Maybe it's just me and it's a my phone issue but ever since i have started to root and build for my phone and download news roms i've noticed that the regular gallery does't have the animated thumnails anymore. I know it's minor but i just wanted to know if any of you have noticed that also and or know how to get it back animated.
I don't recall stock Gallery ever having moving thumbnails. I'm not saying it didn't but the only place I've seen that is in the Video Player on Touchwiz and Touchwiz roms. My thumbnails for recorded video and video on my sd card animate just fine. That doesn't happen in my Gallery app but it works fine in my Video Player. I'm currently on CleanRom 2.1
yea that's what i was saying my gallery and everything else works fine it's just it doesn't animate the thumbnails of videos like it used to, maybe i'm just overlooking something but if you any review of this phone completely stock you'll see what I'm talking about just in case you don't remember it.

hi all,
just wondering whether some of you noticed the lag in loading the gallery?
or just after taking a picture, the newly taken picture takes a really long time to load?
i suspect its something to do with the usb read speed.
Same here. Sometimes it even needs a reboot until newly taken pics show up in the gallery. I just use the filebrowser to display pics.
I think the gallery never really worked fine i already had issues on my n1...
I've found that when Bluetooth is on, my Gallery lags badly. But it goes back to normal when Bluetooth is switched off.
The gallery app seems to try and discover all of the pictures on the phone...that's maybe what takes so long? The other day it discovered some album art- I don't want album art displayed in the gallery.
I have also noticed it takes a couple minutes to add a recently taken picture into the gallery. Weird.
same here gallery lag ...
any fixes for this yet?

You can exclude any folder on your sdcard from displaying pictures in the Gallery by adding a blank file named .nomedia into the folder. This tells the media scanner to skip that folder when indexing the sdcard. Two caveats to that: first is that it excludes sound files from the music player also, and it excludes all subfolders of the one with the .nomedia file in it.
The lag in having a pic you just took is also annoying. You could probably force a faster review by getting that app from the Market that forces a fresh run of the media scanner. Google must have built some delay into the stock scanner that keep it from constantly running to improve battery life or phone performance. The media scanner sucking up resources was a common complaint on the SGS i9000 forums for a while.
I'll bet you could write a Tasker profile that forced a fresh scan after any new pictures are taken. That might backfire in terms of performance though.

^ Truth.
And I've also experienced Gallery lag. It's really frustrating.
Okay, I've had this problems for quite some time now.
Whenever I use ANY ICS ROM, the camera doesn't show the pics which were clicked using flash and the videos have length 00:00...
Also, in the weather app, there are no animations coming just in the app...
Even in GB ROMs, the videos have length 00:00...
PLEASE help me I really don't know what to do !!??!!
Hey guys,
Upon updating both my Transformer Infinity and my SGS2 to Jelly Bean, I noticed that the stock gallery crashed as soon as it was launched. It would open briefly, start loading albums, and then close without an error message. This, I would like to underline, happened on both devices when Jelly Bean was installed - everything was fine in ICS.
After some comparisons, I noticed some incriminating albums that crashed the gallery, so I deleted them from the devices. And voilà! Everything worked like a charm. So while comparing a clean picture with a dirty one (dirty as in, it crashes the gallery as soon as it's loaded), I realised that their EXIF tags were identical... except for Geotagging.
So in short, it turns out JB has an issue with pictures taken with Camera360 with GPS tagging activated. Once you remove those Geotags (with freeware like, say, Batch Purifier), the pictures show up properly and the gallery no longer dies lamentably.
I haven't tried Geotagging with any other application, so I can't be sure whether it's Camera360's own implementation of EXIF GPS tags that send the gallery spiralling or if it happens with other Geotagged pictures.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Antonius Maximus.

Interesting - the pictures I have taken on my Lumix camera with gps tagging show correctly in the stock album and link correctly to Google maps if you select 'show on map' from drop down dots.
They are on my micro sd card at the moment and the album sees them all quite properly.
I am having issues with my albums in that not all pics are displayed as thumbnails though they are displayed if you click on greyed out square!
Anyone lost the thumbnail previews in the gallery for videos?
Ever since I rooted and left the original rom, I notice that the video thumbnails are static and no longer animated. I reverted back to stock; no go.
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks
What's the gallery changed at all? I thought it would be axed but ive seen the icon on the nexus 5 hands on videos, wasnt Google Photos supossed to replace it?
Nothing happened to it. The Gallery app also serve as video player, sometime it is the Camera as well (not sure on the Nexus 5).
