Have you tried deleting the images with a file explorer?
Usually you have to long press on the image in the gallery in order to see the delete icon...

Thanks for your reply! Not sure how to use file explorer, but willing to learn. I have tried holding down for long time, no delete icon?
EDIT: I went into file manager and found on screen shot that I was able to delete, but can't locate the other pics?

Camera photos are in a folder named "DCIM" in your SD or the internal memory...

Thanks!! I have deleted all, except one that appears to be in picasa, which I must have accidentally created somehow...

how do you install an apk. file. This is my first time on android. I cam from windows mobile phone and was aware of how to install .cab files.

get a file system manager like ASTRO File Manager, from there navigate to the file, and hit install when you select the .apk file
Thank You So Cal. Been looking for this.
Is there any way to set this as the default "gallery". As in when i hit the pictures in the lower right corner when im using the camera, that it will open this gallery view instead?

I don't think so...unfortunately.
If using this gallery...make sure you set your videos to be saved on your SDCard because if you dont they go to your internal phone memory and this Gallery wont be able to see them.
Thank you sir. I didn't even know a multi touch version was out of gallery.
Much obliged.

Does anyone else gallery app not read the internal memory folders like DCIM>100Media where the cameras default pic folder saves to? I know I can change the camera app to save on sd but I'd rather have it read the internal memory if possible.
Using Droid Incredible, this works fine for me viewing picture albums. However it force closes whenever I hit the camera button.
Getting a download error. Is the file okay?

Same here, though I never even tried the camera button until I saw your post. Not sure I would use it normally.

What are the differences between the stock/sense gallery and this multi touch gallery?

Something really weird after flashed 4.1...

I flashed my nexus s to 4.1 today. then I took a picture but then I found that..
the picture saved to "/storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/"automatically
what the fresh hell is "/storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/" ? And I am pretty sure I didn't change any setting
Yeah, I haven't checked that in my phone but none of my media files are showing up in stock apps including gallery. There has been lots of threads in forums for the solution and I'm trying those one by one. There are many thread to link. Just google for "media in sd card not showing up in gallery jelly bean" I'm trying a few things. I 'll let you know if it worked.

Are you guys using a custom kernel?
Just snapped a pic and it saved to where it normally does. All my saved pictures are where they should be as well.
It looks like after 4.1 all camera files are being saved in /sdcard0. It shouldn't be a problem if all the files show up in the gallery. If there is a problem, there is a rogue file which is making the media server restart which is causing files to disappear. I did a format on SD and found the file by copying one folder at a time. If none of your files are showing in the gallery, I suggest you put a .nomedia file in all your folders, delete it one by one to find out the rogue file. Hope I had helped.
Hi,
I am not sure if this is in line with what you are saying but during the initial startup after flashing the update the phone finished updating applications then contacts database update and after that went to "media database" update!
I guess there might be some changes in the configuration and the structure of the new release!!

Folder comes back after being deleted?

Hello everyone! proud Galaxy SL owner here! Hi, I was wondering after deleting this folder titled "ppy_cross" folder it returns on my /mnt/sdcard? I would delete it again, but it comes back? I can't find to which app it belongs to.. My Galaxy is not rooted.. does the android OS return deleted folders so it can function properly? Just now, I turned on my wifi to install a game from the play store, after installation, I then opened up my My Files and saw ppy_cross folder again...? My phone has no problems at all, it's working normally.
Thankz in AdvaNcE to whomever can help out! =)
3rd party apps create files automatically, the ext file systems also create automatically folders like LOST.DIR

I appreciate your response sir, thank you so much!
So this is pretty much normal sir? So, if ever I come upon another folder that I deleted and comes back... It's ok and won't harm my phone, right? But, what if I installed an app and uninstalled it, and I also deleted it's folder, but comes back after I already uninstalled the app, what does that mean? Just curious sir..

its alryt to delete folders as long as you are aware of what's inside of the folder..but be aware not to delete systems folder for it may cause a problem on ur phone..abd for the application installed and uninstalled well i think it alryt to delete it as long as ur no using the apps and free some space.
I believe that folder is from boat browser mini app.
I have the same folder and I havent installed that browser
I have the exact same folder as well. Inside, I find a file labeled as follows:
7c8818e0b54505648c31ec132d64a3a7
It's simply labeled: File.
I have never installed anything called "boat browser" or anything similar. The only browser that I use is FireFox, and I know it wasn't created form there, as I've used that browser for a while, and the folder only just appeared within the past couple of days. I, like the others, am unable to prevent the folder from returning upon deletion.

Check the folder where you stored your pics...
For a file called "no media" if u found that delete it...
If this doesn't work delete the . thumbnail folder in DCIM folder.....this should work...
But to see that file or folder.. Hidden files must be shown via file manager...
If you not found that connect ur device to pc or laptop then delete that folder....
Hope this helps

Ok I just want to make sure of no catastrophic failures, lol.. I opened "my files" clicked device storage, and scrolled all the way to last files listed without opening any folder, and I see a file called .nomedia, is this the file? You did say open a folder to find this file, but in this case its not in a folder. 2, I clicked on .thumbnails in the DCIM folder and I see images, when I delete this file, will I now loose these images? I am awaiting further instructions before I do anything, because I have moved to quickly before and lost a lot of images before.. Please and thank you for your assistance.

What app is this and how can i clean recent files?

What app is this and how can i clean recent files?
i tried almost every tricks..
Okay, so they are in Android folder..
EDIT.. no succesful now.. so please help.
It seems that you are in file manager or so.
What do you want to delete?
If you want to see different details, open the menu at left, touching the horizontal bars.
If you want to use a better file manager, instead install Root Explorer or similar from the P store.

i was in snapseed. i deleted all my internal storage, still those files exist. Then installed google file manager called files and that can delete those cached ghost files..
So. now success!
Did you delete your sd? It seems to me a bit heavy decision...
