My gallery on my Droid X suddenly started force closing as soon as I try to open it. It did this once before for a few days and then just started working again on its own. It tries to open and then just closes. I tried restoring it through Titanium but that hasn't worked. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Or what is causing it? Other gallery apps from the Market work fine so I don't think it is the SD card.

Try fixing permissions.
Try using the 3d gallery instead
How do I fix permissions? Yes I have been using other gallery apps but I was used to the stock gallery.

Open up ROM manager and theres "Fix Permission" listed. Just click it and it will fix permissions. When it finishes a prompt will appear to reboot your phone.
I did the permission fix with ROM manager and that didn't work. Any more ideas?

Have you tried a factory reset? Just make sure you have your gmail and when the phone reboots put in your gmail and everything you had before will come back. I know a lot of times when stuff quits working you have a bad app download too. But try the factory reset first.
In your file explorer open the dcim folder. Check for any odd files (data) and delete them. Go to settings>apps and find gallery. Open here, clear data and cache & force close. Exit and reopen gallery from app drawer.

Just got the white variant yesterday, rooted using the toolkit in the Dev forum, also updated to 4.3 before that.
Bottom line is when I install titanium, I cant backup because I get a storage space error. I was able to backup once but then none of my apps stick, meaning no backups can be found even tho I just backed them up.
Lastly, I lost root after flashing Slim and Carbon. I have root with PA, though.
Thanks.

Try changing backup storage location in titanium backup preferences. Hit detect, whole device, then try changing that. I have seen people say use the legacy location in 4.3, but I have had trouble with the storage error using that. Right now storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup is checked on mine.

This is what happens when I do that...

Try the legacy location. Then hit use the current folder.

I can't do that, though. My screen shot shows that error when I hit the Detect button. Also, how do I get around the issue if Not enough space when trying to back up. I have the new pro version

ok my friend couple questions what size is your phone and also do you have backups on there already. Was your backup from 4.2? I ask about that because file system changed and thats why you were instructed to try the other folder options. Now also are you properly rooted and using es file explorer or my favorite root explorer?
There are a few factors to figure out when resolving your issue but your question quite honestly is all over the forum and maybe a little searching may help you find your answer. If not post more here so we can figure it out...

Alright, my Nexus is the 16gb white version, a newer one because it has those two little bumps on the back to help against glass damage. Also I updated officially to 4.3...THEN rooted, flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0, flashed PA and installed a handful of apps, including ES EXPLORER. I had a previous version of Titanium Pro, which wouldn't let me backup (got the error stating storage capacity), I tried to choose a different backup location and selected "Whole Device", then immediately get the "no back up folder" error.
I then went to the play store, installed the newest trial version of Titanium...and I WAS able to backup, but as soon as I would restart my phone, the backups would disappear. BUT they backups are still stored in my ES explorer in a default folder: /storage/Titanium/Backups (the text may not be exact but the location is right).
So bottom line is that I can't access the folder which holds my backups...thru Titanium. I can see them when I open ES, though.
Here is a screenshot of my TB folder and showing how much space I have can you do the same

My device is brand new, I have like 12gb left on my phone, so the storage problems is an error.
May I suggest you backing up that folder and doing a complete wipe of your phone but make sure you can transfer a Rom over if needed

You shouldn't try off...
Anyway , uninstall it delete its cache and data , flash the latest superSU , reinstall , be sure USB debugging is on , detect and choose legacy folder , if no backup folder detected do a small one , retry to detect and chose legacy , use current location

This is weird, I can back up all of the apps I have installed at the moment, and I can restore those apps...BUT I cannot restore the apps I've backed up previously. But I can now change to the Legacy folder..

You tried reflashing stock firmware via Odin?
Sent From My Samsung Galaxy Y s5360
Yes, the best alternative is the QuickPic, in my opinion, is better than the default app.
Try rebuild the cached pics by opening the settings menu, going into Applications->Manage Apps->go under All Apps and look for the Gallery app.
Clear Cache and Clear Data and Force stop.
Flash stock rom via odin.. then do a clean install of your rom. And see if the problem still persist..
flash the stock rom by odin .... then wipe data and cache open phone wipe data and cache from gallery ... REBOOT!
It must be donE
Plz need some help. Done a nandroid restore and tried a tb restore but still getting the same problem. Applicstions are disapearing and where the app icon was its still thier but in grey. When i click on it, it opens the play store to reinstall the app. Even when i check using root browser or my files it shows the app is still installed. Even if i redownload these apps after a reboot or exiting out of a app it happens again??? The icon for the app is grey and if i click it opens play store to reinstall. Now my biggest problem its starting to do it to newly installed apps. I purchase alot of apps and never has it asked me to repay but i just dont know whats going on. Its a pain everytome i want to use a certain app i must reinstall it. Can anybody plz shed some light on yhis problem or is anybody experianceing the same problem. Plzzzzzz help???????

If you had sd card and it was going bad, then I could imagine apps that install partially to sd card get corrupted and stop working. There should be
LOST DIR folder, if anything is there, those are lost and later recovered file fragments. You would need at least reformat the card, possibly replace it. If that's not the case then I have no idea.
Yes my external sd is corrupt. Cant add or delete anything from it. I contacted sandisk and they will replace it in a weeks time. So that must be the problem then?

Hi guys
I've just moved on to lollipop and have noticed an issue with photos and videos after they have been taken .
Basically what happens is the phone wont -
Show you the picture from the preview button
Show in the gallery but can be viewed via a file manager
They also do not get backed up to one drive or Google drive
Anything I can do short of re flashing the rom ?

Backup all your internal data and factory reset your device
Sounds like an issue with Mediaserver or Indexing.
Is there .nomedia file in the main directory or the image directory?

No way to resolve it without a re flash ?
Try downloading an app from playstore like rescanmedia or similar.

Crashes as soon as I open it .
It's looking more and more like a re flash right ?
tried a reflash and it still has the same issue.
Got this working I cleared the cache and data of the media storage process and all seems to be good.
Thanks for responding guys.
