Hi everyone,
First of all, thanks for taking the time to read this. Long story short...I accidentally deleted all my photos from the gallery with a eBook reader app called Moon+ Reader...don't ask. I'm really upset now, as I've lost all my photos and am wondering if there is any hope of recovering the files? I don't have root access, but the image names/data shows up on my PC when I link the Nexus 5 to my computer. The only thing is that when I try to open the files on my PC, I get "The file can't be read. It may be damaged." I'm guessing if it's still displayed on my PC, the files must be store somewhere within the internal storage? Or is there something like a recycle bin where the internal storage files that are deleted are temporarily stored until the space they used to take is overwritten with new data? I just feel so stupid right now! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. I don't have root access. Would rooting my phone wipe my internal storage at this point?
There's no hope, sorry

Awww, okay. Thanks for the reply! Just wanted confirmation from someone who knows how this phone works... Now, I can prepare for some closure...
Do look into prevention for future though

I did this same thing once on my GNex. Only I was dumb enough to do it in the actual gallery app. I deleted ALL my pictures of my newborn son on my phone. Luckily, we used multiple cameras so I still had some pictures from other sources. This is why I use Dropbox (and Google+) to automagically backup my photos whenever I connect to wifi. That way, if it happens again, they're all backed up.

Just a quick question, my S2 is running Android 4.1.2, if I backup all the apps+data using TB and restore it to N5 after copying the TB folder to it, will this work or I will have to install the apps again and will lose the data?
It will work.

Hi Guys,
I have bought a N5. I want to restore my TiB backup from my previous device (GSIII 4.3) to it (N5 4.4). I only restore apps + data of regular apps (not sysapps).
My doubt is that "Can I restore also the phone ID with TiB, or it isn't reccomended to do this operation?"
Thanx for the answer guys!
Have a good day.

Usually ti will ask you if you want to. Its only to do with play purchases so it wont cause any harm

I miss the old 4.4 camera
It's no different than the 4.4.2 one albeit slower...

I've noticed more grain in my pictures and lowlight/indoor pictures are much worse than 4.4

Please dont bump threads until 24 hours after the last post. This is in the forum rules.
Go back to 4.4 if you want 4.4 camera working

I wanted to know if someone could create a zip of the camera and libs without reverting thank you very much.
No because its not just camera and libs that have changed. Its kernel too so to have it working, go back to 4.4 or stick with it.

My phone is telling me I only have 12gb total and 7gb available to use. Is this right? The reason I ask is because my buddy has the N4 and had an issue in the past with incorrect storage reads.
Cheers
P.s.
I am using Clockworkmod w/ OmniRom installed.

I don't see how do it in that link
Then you haven't read it properly
All this PC software, example: Piriform recuva only works on a computer drive. In windows, imagine this is anything with a Drive Letter. C: drive etc. The only way to get a drive letter on your /sdcard is to use USB Mass Storage mode, which as previously discussed - is not possible on your Nexus 5.
With this I understand that I can't use any software for recover my deleted videos.

It's very difficult for me
Yeah it is and not guaranteed to work either.
In which case, they are gone. Have a look at my tips for prevention in the future
