Galaxy s4 gallery keeps crashing?!?

what can I do? I go into gallery, then it's usable for 4 seconds, then closes. I've went into app info and cleared data and cache. I've wiped cache partition. nothing seems to work. it was usable yesterday. rooting has gotten me so many issues. my gallery thumbnails are over 9 gb gallery issues... please help. thanks

Did it start to happen after rooting? What root method did you use and what rom are you on?

Ok, you're running stock firmware. Are you storing pictures on the external sdcard? I'm thinking you have a corrupted file. Are the pics backed up any where? Corrupted file would explain the large thumb nail size.

really? well uh my laptop died too.... (I'm in a MAJOR technological crisis... and to top it off, I just underwent a surgery on my foot which makes living with these issues 100X more frustrating) I'll backup all pics onto my new computer and delete my SD card and restore pics.... but the thing is, one time I'd unmounted and completely removed the SD card and it still showed a 9 gb thumbnail. how can the file get corrupted? I've never done anything to it. but the major issue I'm having right now is the gallery app crashing on me... i am able to view pics and videos through other app galleries like quick pic... but I really want to use stock gallery cause it has weather tags as well... i just like the extra details.... -_- haha. Thx and look forward to your reply.

Before you do all that, have u tried to clear gallery cashe in app manager under settings. If not it's worth a try...

thanks for trying to help, I mentioned that I already did that in the first post . I'm actually thinking of unrooting later. but idk... I mean iPhone was so much easier to use and even I thought it was an overrated phone. perhaps I should just use galaxy s4 uprooted so everything will just be bearable to use...

Take your sdcard out and see if out still crashes. What size and brand of card do you have. 64 gb SanDisk have caused some problems.

A lot of people have been having problems with them. I haven't paid that much attention to what the fix is other than Samsung cards seem to work. Google "64 gb SanDisk xda" and you should find threads that discuss the problem. Sorry I can't help more but I think that's your problem.

I'm not sure I understand the question. But if you restored system apps with tibu, yes it could cause problems. You should rarely if ever restore system apps. If you do a batch restore with tibu only restore missing apps and not any system data and apps.

I'm encountering the same issues. If I clear Gallery data and restart the phone, sometimes the Gallery will stop crashing. But it will always crash again soon....

I have no nandroid backups on my phone either. No music (except for that cached in Google play music which is counted in apps), and no movies

That does look a bit odd. Try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
It's a file explorer that graphically shows the size of each folder in your phone. Might help find where any large amounts of data are store.

You have 4 TWRP backups taking up 8 gigs. It's right there. If you don't need them, delete them. Solved.

nandroid backups(via recovery). each can take a lot of space depending on how much data you have. go to that location in your file system and delete a few.

As long as you're sure you don't need those backups:
Using the disk usage app which you posted a screenshot of, click on the TWRP folder, click the menu button (3 dots at the top right), and click "delete".

He may not have added the feature, it has nothing to with having or not having the AOSP browser installed though.
Edit: I checked the Hyper thread and he does not list the AOSP navigation as an option.

(REQ) thinner dock for lg launcher

Is there a way to make the dock smaller on stock launcher? I removed text form dock and there's just too much space...
Especially with the transparent navbar
I really like this launcher. Especially the knock on blank space to lock and the feature to look at my wallpaper.
I only miss swipe down for notifications and up for apps. Used this with Nova.

Just a guess but maybe it removed to much because you had the text removed already. If you put the text back maybe it would be just right. Like i said.... just a guess.

OmegaRom Find My Mobile not working?

So the other day I was going through my settings since I'm fairly new to the S5 and noticed there was a feature that was just like the windows phone find my phone but a little better. I tried to use it and turn it on but after going back to the original security page it still says off or when I add a number to the part where it will notify you when the Sim I changed it doesn't save the number. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm also using the tmobile variant of the s5
