As the title says I upgraded to Lollipop, rooted and restored all my apps through Titanium. Now apps like Photos, Piktures and Gallery KK won't see any of my old photos from /sdcard/DCIM/ or anywhere else in storage actually. Yes, I tried setting Photos app to "On device."
QuickPic can find everything of course and all the images are intact, but that's it. Now, if I take a new picture, that will show up in the above apps. I was hoping that might kickstart the mediascanner to discover the rest, but sadly no.
anyone know how under Lollipop I can reset the picture media db? the sd media scanner apps I've tried all crash under 5.0
Do I have to sync them all to Google+ auto backup maybe? I've never used that.
thanks in advance.
EDIT: deleted my Media Storage data, rebooted and all is happy again.

I was trying to get rid of Drop Box and other Picasa folder that was randomly created by cleaning the Camera app cache and it started to delete all my pictures one by one in about a minute.
I went to settings and looked at option like Backup and Restore as well as Account & sync (only has an option for Google Photos but this doesn't seem to be it). I disabled Backup and Restore by default.. I enabled them for a day but didn't do anything.
Is there a way to back up the pictures? Things like bookmark, contacts, pictures automatically backed up whenever I flashed new ROM or update them, but it seems like my phone deleted all of them this time...
Please help me out!
Hi,
I just ran into something similar. Once in Gallery, go to settings, click on your Google account and then enable photo sync. It immediately displayed all of my albums.
No luck, I tried so many methods as well. Reflash ROM, GAPPS, wipe ROM and clean flash... etc.
Only way it works is restoring my old ROM backup, but once it backs up all my pictures, it starts to delete all of them again one by one........
Running Touchdown for Exchange. Somehow Verizon's backup assistant ran and backed up all the little images from Touchdown emails into my gallery. So I've turned off the Backup service from vzw and cleared all Touchdown downloads, cleared the data from Gallery, yet there is still an album titled Backup+ Pictures with 124 images. When I click on a single image to open, it says image can not be found, presumably because I deleted the Touchdown downloads. It will not let me delete any of the images or the album at all. When I try, the gallery completely freezes until force close. Does anyone know how I can remove this album? On a side note, I would also like to be able to turn off the wifi sharing thing so it doesn't show all the other pc's on my home network and their media files every time I open the gallery.
Reinstalled Backup+, let it backup a few pics, then deleted the whole album and deactivated Backup+ again. Worked great, stupid album is gone.
Guys regretfully I downloaded the new Google Photos app today. Unfortunately somehow it backed up ALL my Gallery camera photos and now I have very little storage space on my N5.
I've tried deleting photos but the only way I can do it is from the Photos app BUT when I do delete them they are also removed from my Gallery. But I want them to remain in my gallery.
Help please
All photos you had in google drive got downloaded to phone?
I'm so confused right now.
Hi thanks for your reply. I'm confused too. I downloaded the photos app. It began backing up. Then about an hour later I got a message saying it couldn't back up all my photos as my device had run out of enough memory!
I have checked my Gallery app and there are no duplicate photos. I have also deleted the Auto backup folder. And have deleted the photos app. But I still haven't received covered the lost storage.
Everything has been fine with Google Photos for me until recently other folders containing photos from apps like VSCO Cam other apps has disappeared from the "Device Folders" section of the app. As I said, these were all displayed until the last few days. I have no idea what happened. I use Solid Explorer and I can see the photos are all still on my phone so it's not like they've been deleted. Anyone come across this issue or would know how I can fix it? I've tried clearing the data/cache of the Photos app and that didn't work. I also tried clearing the cache of Media Storage but that didn't correct the problem either. I'm not sure what to do.
Anyone else had a similar issue or know how to resolve it?
Solved.
Needed to show hidden files using Solid Explorer, deleted the file called ".nomedia" and alas, all the device folders are now being displayed again in Google Photos!
Hello im using Pixel on Pie.
Recently i flashed stock firmware it works fine but Google Photos app doesnt recognize folders like Snapseed, Retrica, Instagram and etc.. It only shows Camera folder and Backed-up photos.
Anyone knows how to fix it?
Already tried: Wiping cache/data of Google Photos
Wiping cache/data of Media Storage (then my all folders dissapeared which I had including Camera)
Restarting phone
Well also Xperia Album app doesnt show any folders
Maybe its phone problem or maybe it caused when i wiped Media Storage
before wiping it it showed Instagram, but didnt add new Folders like Retrica.
I can still see images in file explorer
Maybe you can try see in settings > back up & sync > back up device folders
