Suddenly Empty Gallery - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
yesterday, out of the blue, I had this problem: any gallery app won't find any image. for example, Motorola Gallery prompts me to snap a photo with the camera. If I do so, the picture I've just taken is shown in the gallery, but just that one, even if it is saved in the SAME folder as the older ones.
What should I do?
I've already tried to:
Reinstall Motorola Gallery
Install another gallery
Reboot the phone in safe mode (I've asked MotoCare and I've been told to do this, but in safe mode the launcher keeps crashing and I can't do anything)
Now I'm copying everything from the phone, then I'll delete all the image folders and copy them back.
MotoCare suggested to perform a Factory Reset, which I won't do
Any ideas?
Thanks

Solution?
Did u get the solution to your problem?

[Q] lg p925 missing LGHome apk

The other day I did one really dumb taboo thing everyone knows not to do. I was messing with my phone at 1:30 am doing stupid unproductive things. and then bam, I deleted LG Home. without this I can't go to the homescreen. I backed the apk up but I don't know where to access this. using root unistaller.
Somehow by going to the factory reset screen I managed to make it possible for me to boot the phone back up, only still there is no home screen. I can use google voice to make calls and send texts and emails. But I have no app folder or settings and I am quite a noob.
could Someone either tell me how to reinstall LG Home or get a rom that works back onto my phone. Any solution would be great.

You can try to flash this through cwm.
h t t p://w w w.android-files.de/P920/launcherLG.zip
It´s LGHome.apk and LGHome.odex from 21D
well I have the P925g, my brother has the same model. I was thinking I could simply copy the files from his phone into the appropriate folder. Would anyone be able to tell me where I could copy these files from/to? If i could do this I'm sure it would work.

System/app
If you're rooted
Sent from my CM7 Thrill
Well I'm not to sure If it is rooted anymore. I erased all my user data, but I did not factory reset. I'll be checking later if i can access those files. But I'll have to access them via USB connection to my computer. My brothers phone where I'll copy the files from is not rooted so I'm not sure if I can copy them from him or not. I'm going to see what more I can do for my phone tommorow. I hate when this happens. The last time I bricked my phone I couldn't even get to the factory reset screen.
Now that I can get to the factory reset screen I don't even see much use in it because the factory reset option doesn't work like I would have expected. If you can even factory reset through that screen is a mystery to me because I could not get it to work. Every time I tried to initiate factory reset it just went back in the menu and no other button seamed to initiate factory reset. I feel like I'm over looking a lot of options here that I just wouldn't think of trying because of my lack of knowledge here.
I'm very dissapointed in myself and in LG right now.
So I,ve found that I already have the lghome.apk backed up on my phone. but as I cannot go to the homescreen or view files and folders on my phone I'm wondering how I will even launch the apk.
I can still use google voice commands to to other tasks like read emails. is there a way I can access my file system or the market through this?
NVM I checked I don't think it's possible. I cannot use the apk to reinstall the apk because I do not have a home screen or any apps that could open this. even my settings aren't working. and clockwork mod only bricked my phone. so i cannot install rom manager and did not.

If you can get into settings, enable USB Debugging Mode.
Then upload LGHome.apk to the forums.
If you could access your emails then you have data connectivity. Why not open market.android.com on your pc log into your google account and install some launcher through it...
Where is the problem to flash this file through cmd ?

Was this a paid app you got or an app that offered backup/recovery of files? You might check the app owner's site or information page for more details on that. There are so many vault gallery apps, hard to say which you have.
i already get all hidden files just unnistall all gallery vault and gallery vault key pro and jus copi the .thinkyeah folder to the sdcard then reinstall the app and thas it
any solution? same problem for me ..

I suggest you go into the .think yeah folder, then you'll see some blank files. Click rename, then change the file extensions to .jpg , might take some time if you have a lot of photos in there, but give it a try.
i have not encrypted the hidden files and how to unhide my photos
The files are hidden. So just unhide it.

It depends on whether your device has certain settings and whether you enabled them or set them up before you lost the phone. Try this

Go to system settings>apps, find gallery if it's there then clear cache and data. Then try again.
If that doesn't work, boot to recovery and wipe cache, if you have custom recovery wipe dalvik/ART cache also then reboot and try again.

Where is the pin saved, which file? Surely if you want to 'get in' you can install it clean, set your pin, then move this file overwriting the 'locked' one and it'll use your pin, right?

Follow these steps
If you're an Android user, follow these steps to restore photos and/or videos from Vault to your device:
Open the Vault app.
Tap Photos or Videos.
Tap the Menu button on your phone > then tap Manage Photos or Manage Videos.
Find the Photo(s) or Video(s) that you'd like to restore and tap to select.
Tap Restore.

And also I check out my SD card folder in that the .think yeah folder is also empty. Now how can I see my encrypted photos ??? And how can I unhide it... Please anyone give me a right solution..

[Problem] Contact Photo

Hi,
i have a problem with changing my contact photos for contacts synced with GMail over the standard Google Sync.
If I try to chance someone's picture with a picture out of my gallery i just get the following error and nothing happens:
I also tried it via the normal gallery app and the G+ gallery app and via the contacts itself, but always the same error. I thought it could be the google server but it's for the whole day today.
My Nexus 5 is on stock 4.4.2 rooted but no modifications.
Can someone confirm the problem? otherwise i will reflash the rom.
Can't see or open image.

It did not work,
I only deleted the application cache and rebboot the phone.
Still showing a small square in the middle "Camera" that when pressed activates the camera.
This is the same for Camera Roll, Albums and Videos.

The directories that you posted is good (all normal)
Try looking for files named .nomedia in those folders (and delete them) or try to move the folders somwwhere else and delete app cache and data and try again
Also, go to sdcard/android/data and delete a folder named
com.motorola.MotGallery2
Or something similar

Hi,
I did what you said and it did not work.
In addition I tried several things:
1. Cleared cache and data, stopped the application, and retrieved to the original app that is 200.....
it did not work.
2. Cleared cache and data, stopped the application, updated through google play,
Next took a picture (to verify the destination that the Camera was saving the picture), and the Gallery showed it.
Open a new directory an moved old and new pictures to it. (the new picture disappeared)
Cleared cache and data, reboot the phone and copied the pictures into the original destination
None showed in the Gallery (neither the new one)
3. Cleared data, changed the date to yesterday, (to see if it is a matter of date), reboot, but nothing good.
4. Checked the path on the root: storage/emulated/0/dcim and it is ok.
Any new idea? Thx
I found the problem and managed to see the pictures.
A use ES Explorer as a File Manager.
In ES EXPlorer I whent to settings/display settings/show hidden files.
next I followed your first suggestion:
searched for files ".nomedia" and found 3 this time, I deleted all 3
I deleted the directory: com.motorola.MotGallery2
but still I could not see the pictures
I moved the pictures out of the "camera" directory and placed them under DCIM.
cleared data
reboot.
and bingo.
Thank you very much for your time.

[help] Camera gallery shortcut shows all the images on the phone after Nougat update.

Hello, guys!
I updated my OS to Nougat via Odin, making a clean install. Before the update when I go to camera and press on the bottom right corner, on the gallery shortcut I will only see images taken from my camera app (or one located in /DCIM/Camera/).
Now after coping back all my images on the phone, when I go to camera and press on this gallery shortcut I can not only see all the apps no matter in which directory they are, but also the one that are hidden in folder with .nomedia file in it.
Any suggestions? Any help will be appreciation!
Thanks in advance!
