so ive tried several diff folders and loc. to place my photos in so gallery will recognize them...no luck. can someone tell me where they have their pics stored so gallery will display them. also, how can i get my books covers to not show in my gallery...thanks in advance. and yes, i did search first.
Are you updated to 3.1? I actually have my images on my external sdcard, but in 3.1 theres a Pictures folder, an eBooks folder, etc...I can't remember if it was configured differently in 3.0.
Download sdrescan from the market and after transfering pics use sdrescan...my pics showed up after that.

Yeah... I'm on brd 3.1. ill try rescan..i had my pics in the pic folder but they aren't recognized. And my book covers are in my gallery too... gotta figure this out..
try this
First go to applications / all and find the gallery application. Clear data and force stop. Open the gallery and see if that worked.
If that doesn't work. go applications / all and find the media storage application. clear data. Then open the gallery. Fixed my weird gallery problems.
I have photos, music and video files in my Windows 8. Usually in C:\User\My Pictures etc...
However in the photo app in Metro (I know I know its modern UI now but metro is quicker to type) none of my photos are showing. It says it is lonely and make sure my photos are in the photo library. They are. The same goes for the music and video apps. Says it is lonely and make sure in the library. They are. I am pulling my hair out of frustration. I have googled and binged with no solution. I hope some bright clever **** can offer me a solution.
Thank you!

They need to be in your specified Windows 8 library. So if you open a File Explorer window, and look at your list of Libraries on the left side, if you click one of those, does your content appear?
If they do, then I can only guess that a potential security setting is preventing the Metro apps from indexing your libraries.
Yes they are all there when I click on Libraries on the left. This is driving me crazy!
Problem solved. I found out that indexing was not installed. So I added it in Control Panel (add features) and enabled indexing for my media files.
I have a few different "Albums" (folders) that I like to be able to see in the Moto gallery app, but when I click on settings > Albums, it shows EVERY folder that has a picture or video in it. Which means every music download folder I have shows up since it has album art and every video/movie shows up that is in a different folder. So I have 100+ albums to scroll through to find the ones I want.
I tried deleting them, from within the gallery, but it deletes the actual folder on your phone/SD card....In the HTC gallery, you could use a feature called "Hide albums".......Is there anything like this for the Moto gallery?

if your albums are in different folders you could make a file using es file app and name it .nomedia and it wont show up in your gallery app. but if all your pics are in the same folder then none of them would show up in gallery.

No, they're all different folders. I have my basic folders I want to keep: Camera, Pictures (which I keep older pics in), Screenshots, Downloads, Wallpapers, ect... Then I have 97 music albums, each in it's own folder on my external SD card and then a "Movie-TV" folder with sub-folders in it: Doctor Who, Fringe, X-Files, and other nerd titles. All of these show up in my gallery.
I'll try the .nomedia trick, but adding that to 100+ folders is going to take a few minutes.... I was hoping there was an easier way, like there is on the HTC.

as far as I know this is the only way
You could just use quickpic gallery? It's nice, quick and light. And allows you to hide folders in bulk. It adds a .nomedia to them.
Also... If all the folders you don't want to see are in a single folder, you could put the .nomedia at the top level to have the others ignored...

Yeah, I've used QuicPic before and really liked it... I've heard some "bad things" about the latest update, or at least the new company that bought it?? I may give it a try anyways, I have nothing against a new company unless they introduce ads or something?
I also found the HTC Once M9 gallery and camera that works perfect on the MXP... I may just use that. The camera seems to work pretty well with our phones too, I may have it for my 2nd camera....and for when I hand my phone to someone to take a pic of me and they ask "where's the picture button"?
Creating a .nomedia file in the Music folder works.

Just got a used MXP last night after I broke the One Max I had been using and there weren't any good One Max's for sale. Big screen, stereo speakers, sd slot.... perfect. Had all previous HTC phones back to ppc6800.
I miss my gallery and Music HTC apps. I have 50gb of organized cd's on my sd card and I see the pictures in the gallery as all separate folders. I renamed my old sd card camera pictures folder from 100 media (htc save location) to camera (mxp save location) and it shows my camera roll with all 4,000 pictures and whatnot and adds new pics right inline. Kind of solved my gallery problem if I just stay out of the "albums" spot and just leave it on "Camera roll"... I now have camera roll, and videos as separate spots, but that doesn't help for screenshots or downloads so much. Don't use those that often I guess anyways.
The old HTC Music app would just simply be a music player and not mix in download/online material and try to sell me stuff. Its showing albums twice in my list as some are online and some are downloaded. I often go up north out of cell range for all weekend and play music in the truck and cabin the whole time. Streaming isn't an option so i'm in the minority that still buys lots of cd's (digitally) and downloads them and keeps an sd/computer/ full. Open the old music app hit one play button and it was back on the shuffle all, or a quick scroll down through all artists and whatnot to pick an album.
I know its the first day and I will get used to it. Man, I'm b*tching alot. haha.
Where did you find the camera and gallery files... and can you find the music app too?? I'm sure there are good 3rd party apps too, I just haven't had time to play with the new device yet besides setup.
Thanks!

Hey man, it's been about 6 months since I had my MXP (have a Nexus 6P now).. But, I believe there are some here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/htc-blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438
If you can't find what you want there, you can search that sub-fourm and I know there is another one or two threads of HTC apps floating around in that section.
Good luck!

This is amazing, Thanks for the lead.
I was holding out for the new Nexus devices later this year but the One max just wouldn't make it. ha
Hey, I recently relocked my phones bootloader and installed the most recent official firmware.
Since then, it seems my device has two separate storages, because apps like whatsapp and google's Photos only see media inside the camera folder and whatsapp folders, if I download a video or photo it doesn't shows in these applications. Worse, if I browse to the downloads folder the file isnt even there but they show inside Chrome's downloads section.
Does anyone knows how to fix this?
Since moving to S8+ from other android phones, this issues was irritating me. While in camera app, if I go to gallery, I want to see only photos taken by camera and not all the media from whatsapp, facebook etc. The suggested solution of adding .nomedia in those folders did not appeal since that would impact other applications browsing those folders too. So this is what i have done and it works well enough for me.
Samsung gallery app has setting to ignore albums, so I went to that setting and checked all the albums except camera. This was manual and I had to check a lot of albums. After that was done, gallery shows only camera roll either in camera app or outside camera app.
I installed another gallery app (quickpic from xda - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-gallery-quickpic-based-4-7-4-t3790425) to browse different albums including my photos.
That seems like a good solution for non rooted phones until samsung improves their gallery app
