[Q] Stock gallery/Photos not showing new downloaded images? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apologies if this has been posted before, I tried to use the search feature but it was giving me an error saying it was temporarily unavailable.
For some reason any downloaded images to my phone (into the folder Downloads or otherwise) are not showing in the stock gallery app? I've tried force stopping the app, clearing the data and cache but still it doesn't want to show the new images
The files aren't corrupt and can be seen in ES File Explorer perfectly fine and I've downloaded Quickpic to see if they show on there, which they do.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Yes, happens with me all the time... it gets sorted out by itself.. give it sometime. Refresh gallery from the 3 dot menu in gallery and stay put!
I use QuickPic as my default gallery app... I find it the best!

Gallery is AWOL

I managed to delete the original gallery on my KF while trying to delete something else. Should this be the the 3d gallery apk? Well I couldn't seem to find it on line so I pulled the one off my Samsung Droid Charge and attempted to push it to system\app with Root Explorer but when I attempt to install it just says that it did not install. Any ideas? Wrong apk or permissions? Need a quick class on what I am doing wrong, did not see it posted elsewhere. I am rooted and like to use it to put some family pics on the ADW home screen.
Thanks!
Ok, got the right apk from krelvinaz (thanks so much). Using Root Explorer I clicked install and it installed in data\app. Didn't do anything to permissions. So now while rooted OR unrooted, I try to use the picture frame widget. If picking the picture from Gallery it lets me resize, hit save and it just closes without adding anything to the screen. If I hit the widget and use QuickPic for the picture selection, it creates the frame on the screen but it is black with nothing in it.
Any ideas? Do I need to change permissions or load the apks in a different folder? This all worked fine before I screwed up and deleted gallery. Worked when it was rooted too.
Bump.
Anyone? Tried several different apps. The ones that work either just put up a black box or put up the pic but it doesn't stay and reverts to the black box. Worked before so something is missing since I deleted the gallery the first time.

[Q] Images not updated in gallery

Hey all,
I've been using galaxy R for couple of months now and i've started to face this problem from a week.I have observed that after i add new images (jpg) to usb storage they dont appear in the gallery after the media scan.I've tried restart and clear data for gallery app but nothing seems to work.
I can very well see the images in myfiles or astro file manager, also tried quickpic and it displays the newly added images correctly.Also if try to open images from filemanager using gallery app,takes long time to open any image which is again not the case with quick pic.
I really need the default gallery app very badly.
Thanks.
Check if there aren't any other files in your image folder. Sometimes noimage.dat or other file appears out out nowhere and it causes the gallery problem. Delete that file if it is the case + try to not keep other file-types in your pics folder.
Well I've checked it and there are no such files neither hidden one. Also i've completely deleted the previous folder and copied to a new folder.But looks like gallery is freezed except for the camera folder and images downloaded through internet only gets updated.I've deleted entire contents of cache folder in data/cooliris but does not work.In fact previous images turned black.I dont seem to understand whats going on with the gallery.
maybe try a factory reset

[Q] default app not in app list, how do i clear it?

hi, wonder if anyone can help, i hope i dont have to wipe and flash again.
I recently flashed Wicked rom v7 on SSGS4 (SGH-M919), and when flashing I chose to include the google camera app.
I am also using the AOSP lock screen so when I swipe left from the lock screen it goes straight to camera. I was trying different camera apps and setting the default camera that launches from the lock screen, and for all the other cameras I was able to go to app manager and clear the defaults. However, the google camera does not show up in my app manager, so after I set it to the default camera I cannot clear that default, now I am stuck with the google camera as my default.
I tried downloading that app "Default app manager" but it also does not see the google camera app. Tried turning off the AOSP lock screen (from the wicked rom manager) and turning back on, and the google camera is still set as default. also tried searching forums and google but cannot seem to find anything.
Any idea where this default setting is actually stored, like is there a file somewhere either in the app folder or a system folder that stores this setting, that I am able to manually clear?
thanks
OK after much messing around I figured it out, the Camera app is called photosphere.apk because they named it after its new feature. can't figure out how to delete this thread so I'll just post the answer.
using Root Browser for android, I had to go into /system/app, and make a backup copy and then delete Photosphere.apk - that is the app that contains the 4.3 Camera and gallery (and its icon is the gallery icon). then restart the phone, set a new default camera app, then copy photosphere.apk back into the /system/app folder and restart.

Try clearing data for the Gallery app or reflashing your rom. I prefer using QuickPic and haven't used stock gallery apps since I preordered this phone. QuickPic allows you to set multiple different file paths to include so it picks up just those pics/vids in those directories.
I have cleared the cache and data but still not showing all wallpapers i got, but i noticed that some folders have begun to be showed also not all folders/wallpapers on the phone

You might want to try reflashing your rom then. As I said, I'm rather inexperienced with the stock Gallery app cuz I prefer third party. I never liked the UI of stock gallery apps.
I had trouble too with the stock gallery. I ditched it for Quickpic a long time ago.

Gallery apk albums?

Coming from htc gallery im quite lost in s7 galley . Images transferred via BT or downloaded from emails are not showing up in gallery. No downloaded folder in gallery no settings at all. Am I missing something here?
For reall?? no one has problem with it? that's kind of stupid thing to see pictuers that came via BT in file explorer. And no option to save in gallery. When I moved them with native MyFile manager to camera or screenshot folder it will move them with no problem but still no show in gallery apk. Can someone please explain? Thanks
