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

This is the app I was talking about

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]Gallery freezes when trying to access.

I did some searching on this issue but the only thread I found was from 2010 and we've come a ways since then. My issue is, randomly when I try and access my gallery I will get a black screen while my buttons remain lit. I have to hit the home button in order to do anything and then need to kill the gallery from running in order to get back into it. Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix it?
I'm runniny Serendipity VII build 2 kernel 4.

I haven't had this issues, but here are a couple of things I can think of:
1. Did you try installing a different gallery over it? (Using SGS tools)
2. How many pictures do you have? I could see a lot of folders/pics tripping it up.
3. Have you tried clearing the data from the app? (Through settings)

I haven't installed another gallery because I like the default one and haven't had any problems with it until recently. I've got a few hundred pictures but about 7gigs of anime that I can't keep from showing up each time. I checked the application settings but there isn't anything you can clear.

Try this: look around in your filesystem for a file called .nomedia, and put a copy of that in the folder/folders you have your anime images in. They won't show up in gallery, but you'll still be able to get to them.

Phone checks for app automatically

I'm having an issue with a couple of websites. I guess the website has an app, and every time I navigate to a different part of the site it asks me to search for an app that supports a function. It is very annoying. Does anyone have a fix for that?

[HELP!] Having an issue fully uninstalling a junk program..

Hotspot shield.
Made the mistake of installing this pos junkware and now it's leaving plaguing remnants across my system.
It installed some system cleaner programme too..
So far I think it's all gone except for an annoying screen that pops up before my system fully boots (after logging in before seeing the gui).
It used to be the system cleaner, now it just shows an error message.
What I've done -
Tried uninstalling via uninstall exe.. (didn't work, obviously.)
Booted into safe mode, restored to point before install of software.
Deleted both program folders in program files (Using linux, since widoze gave me an in use error..)
unchecked startup in msconfig
Couldn't find any rogue registry entries to delete.
EDIT: Removed (uninstalled) vpn entries in network settings area...
Worried still about a possible trojan/keylogger in the mess...
Help! Thanks for any if it comes...

Wipe, reinstall?

Hoping for an easier solution D:

Have u tried scanning with an anti virus?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Yep and returns clean, the only annoyance is the startup error, I can't find what's causing that.
I'm worried that since the AVs I've tried don't pick that up there could also be a keylogger

Have you tried a full scan in safe mode with malwarebytes'? It's better than most AVs in my experience.

This is on your PC, right?
If so...look for RKill on bleepingcomputer.com and download it.
Follow their instructions
Also...download Combo Fix and use it..this should stop that program from running.

How to prevent multiple instances of the same app from opening

Simple question here. When I open up an app, say instagram, from the app drawer or whatever, I want it to make active the instance that's already open (if there is one open) and if there isn't one, then launch a new instance. I only want one instance of any app open at any given time. How do I get this behavior?

Ok.. I'll bite here as most people are probably wondering the same thing...
WTF are you talking about??????

Ok, so the issue seems to be with the Facebook app only. Whenever I go into running apps, there are always several copies of it running. (See screenshot). I only want one copy of that running at any given time... how do I ensure this?

No idea.. Never seen that happen on any of my phones. Have you tried restarting the phone? Maybe do a system cache clean? uninstall then re-install the app? That's about all I can suggest. Is it the Facebook app itself? or is it the facebook messenger and each one is a different conversation with a different person? I'm trying to replicate it on mine but I just can't get mine to do that.

I have the same issue. It happens when you open Facebook from a notification. If you open from icon it uses existing process.
