Messed up gallery between all roms

I've been messing with my Captivate a lot for the past few weeks, rooted and flashed once I got sick of waiting for an update. I've tried most of the major roms out there and am having a great time learning about it all.
I have a problem and would appreciate some advice on the simplest way to solve it. Whenever I try to enter the image gallery, I get a black screen for a few seconds, then it vibrates a few times and kicks back to the home screen and gives me a failure notification. It does this regardless of what rom I'm running so I'm assuming it has something to do with the file structure on the card? If I data reset, will this fix it?
I looked around but didn't see an apparent answer for this specific issue. Thanks

Try this, download sgs tools from market. Goto uodate stock apps select gallery

Hmmm, I downloaded it and it doesn't seem to do that much. I don't see any options like that for sure. What is that program supposed to do?

After I posted I realized the app I referenced is not on the market.
Have you tried deleting app data
settings, applications, manage, all, gallery, delete data

wow, thanks! That did it. I just upgraded the stock app and it's fine now. This app looks really useful, what are some of its other uses?

Secret codes gets you into a bunch of useful things
like lbs test mode for gps
the updated gallery you installed is also supposed to help battery somehow.
I do not use it all too much though, but I keep it around

[Q] Noob Questions on alerts, sound in Note

1. Is there a way to assign a custom ringtone to all calendar events?
2. Is there a feature or setting somewhere for it to light up or flash a light if you have a missed call or message? I badly miss this option coming from Nokia fones. If I have a missed call or text, the only way I find is if unlock the phone screen.
Thanks for your help.

anyone?

Are you on the stock firmware?
As for notifications theres an app called noled in the play store, give it a try. You can set it up for any notification you want.

I use "NoLed" from Google Play store. It works very well. It can be set for times for it to turn on and off or you can put it on your homescreen and turn it on when you want it. I haven't noticed it affect battery life.

Custom notification sound

Hi all, just a quick one, does anyone know how to set a custom text tone? I've got an mp3 file, I've messed around with file explorer and placed it in media, audio, notifications and also created a notifications folder but it's still not being recognized in the settings as a choice for notifications.
I'm not rooted.
It's odd because I can see the Facebook pop sound in the notifications folder I'm trying to put this file in.

Ps-original file I'm trying to use is a voice memo if that makes any difference

I downloaded some sounds off zedge and had to move them to the /media/notification folder and they did not show up, after restarting my device they were there.

[Q] Dim/disable capacative backlights

I want to turn off the capacitive button backlights, for when i'm using my phone at night, but I also don't want a background app running and killing my battery.
I've tried searching around, and the closest I've come is editing the file under
sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight ;
and changing brightness and currents to 0.
This works as a temporary measure only, however, as soon as I reboot my phone, it goes back to the brightness of a thousand suns.
Help?

Yup that was the first possibility i thought of.. but didn't check the file he mentioned

Actually, just modifying the file seems to work fine, as long as I don't reset my phone, which I don't do too much anyway.

There's an app called "total screen control" that can dim and turn off the softkeys backlight.It's not free but you can search google for it.

[Q] Phone vibrates random

Hi guys,
I am having some problem.
Since a few weeks my phone vibrates random and I do not how to disable it. I turned vibration off in settings and in other apps. And the phone vibrates when I don't recieve any notifications. When I put it on the table for charging it stoppes after a while.
It is very annoying for me. If there is a method for completely stopping the vibration motor let me know.
Thanks.

Such vibration must cause an application. Remind yourself what you installed a few weeks ago.

Thanks. I tried to see some app settings and turned it off. The problem is that I don't see any notifications at all. I even installed the Xposed App, 'Less Frequent Notifier', but it doesn't work. And it is very hard to find the toxic app, because I have about 400~500 installed apps.
Is there some system log file where I can see which apps send the command to vibrate?

Install "Wakelock Detector" on your device. Once you sense a vibration, open the app and look for an app that uses the phone vibrator. You might want to try to get accurate information, as the app doesn't offer sorting based on time of trigger.
To get an accurate information, you can have the phone randomly vibrates for a day, and then open the WLD app and find the app responsible for vibrating.
An example is attached.
OR
You can use the App Ops. once you feel a vibration, quickly go to your App Ops, get to the "Device" tab (or section...) and choose the corresponding app that you suspect vibrating your phone. The apps listed there are sorted from recent permission trigger (or usage). So all you need to check is the top part of the list.
