Factory reset or flash back stock rom

After the Verizon OTA JB update (4.1.2), My Gallery will not open. It just says "Error while launching application." The default camera app does the same thing.
Third party apps (LittlePhoto and Camera ZOOM FX) seem to be working fine, and I am looking for a good Gallery app in case I cannot get this fixed.
I tried clearing data/cash for Gallery app. I found somewhere that this was supposed to fix this problem. It didn't.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

i would just wipe data in recovery
you will need to backup, texts, call logs, contacts… if you want to save
how to.. in my list

Really hoping there is an easier way to fix this. Looks like several people have the problem (judging by a google search), but no solutions yet.
Motorola's "My Gallery" was removed by the update and replaced with Google "Gallery" app.
If My Gallery is still listed (and tied to the camera) it sounds like your install didn't install completely or you restored things after the update.
You may want to flash the JB fastboot files, factory reset and reconfigure.
That was it! Looks like the camera app was also replaced. I was using App Manager. It kept the "links" to the old apps in the icon folders. After removing the old camera and gallery icons, and then adding the new ones, everything works fine.
Thanks tcrews!

The best place to start is wth a bit more info. We wont know how to help until we know how you got here.
What ROM are you running?
What base firmware?
Has the phone always done this or only started recently?
Are there any pop-up error messages when gallery closes?
Have you tried clearing the cache ad data from the gallery app?
Can a third party gallery app (like QuickPic) access your photos?
Have you tried backing up your SD card contents and re-formatting the SD card?
Running stock with latest int firmware
It started last week, never had such issue before
No FCs or any other popups
clearing the cache ad data from the gallery app did not work
a third party gallery app works fine
I think the only other thing to try is to wipe the device clean & start over
I appreciate your support
I'm running the latest stock rooted (2.16.651.4) and just tried to use the Zoe function in camera. It's the first time I've tried to use it since the update, and it's crashing the camera app left and right. When I switch from any other function to Zoe, crash. I bring camera back up, and it'll be in Zoe, but half of the time, it'll crash right away again. If it does stay up, it seems to work until I switch away and back again.
My question is, could anyone share the apk for camera (assuming it'll contain all of the functions including Zoe) so I can try to reload the app? Or if anyone knows of a different fix, I'm certainly open to suggestions. Thanks.

Try clearing the App Cache in the App Settings to reset the camera to the default settings.
Edit: Interestingly enough, my camera app crashes when I switch to Zoe, but without a crash alert (not sure if my custom Rom has blocked those). The difference is that u can open my camera into Zoe, and successfully capture Zoe images.
That's almost identical to my problem. No crash alert, the app just goes down. If, by stroke of luck, I can get it to run with Zoe, I can take images just fine. The problem shows back up when I try to use any other camera function then go back to Zoe.
I did get one error, systemui crashed and it was the report or not error, but that only happened once.
I cleared the cache, and while it doesn't crash 8 out of 10 times, it'll still go down like 4 out of 10. If I cleared the app data, would that smoke my pictures or anything?

No. It only clears the App data for the camera, making it as 8f you opened the camera for the first time, pop-up tips and all.
Well, I cleared the app data, and while it didn't completely fix things, it's definitely crashing less. If I last used the camera in Zoe, the next camera launch crashes, along with a random crash when switching from another function to Zoe. It certainly ain't perfect, it'll do for now I suppose.
hello there,
i just had an issue with an camera icon which stupidly was placed somehow underneath my dock at the homescreen.
i decided to try uninstalling the camera app so the shortcut would be removed, saved the app with titanium backup though in order to reinstall it via backup.
unfortunatelly the camera now has wrong orientation so when im in normal orientation it only shows half of the screen as if i would be in landscape mode.
i installed a camera app from google store to test if this would act normal but it doesnt as well.
any idea how to fix this ?
thanks
hey i fixed it by restoring philz backup , still would be interesting to know about the cause of this issue because i had this with my note 3 also until i flashed another rom.

Find an app that's can lock apps rotation and set it to landscape. I had the same problem
Same thing happen to me start last night, I tried few different camera app, works fine in google's camera app, word lens, but camera zoom is same problem as sony's camera app.
my guess is that one of the rotation function didn't able to call the position function, not able to reset or clear the memory,
is there a way to reset the camera app? I don't think restore backup will fix it, if the backup is already went bad.
Hi,
All of a sudden, I'm unable to access all my photos under the Gallery. I can still see they are still present when I access Files. When I take a picture with my camera, I can scroll on the previous photos under the Camera (thru the little icon on the bottom left hand corner). However when I try to access the last taken photo via Gallery, it's not there at all... I can't find any thread on the net on this problem. I hardboot the phone a couple of times but it does not work. Anyone can help on this please ?
Thanks in advance
Restart the phone.

Tried several time but to no avail.
Photos received from Whatsapp are in the gallery but not the rest
Just a general question: Do you access the camera through the locked screen with the little icon bottom right? Then you can only access the pictures you have just taken, to prevent strangers looking through your pics. If you access the camera through the icon when the display is unlocked, you should be able to see ALL your photos in the gallery.
To be more precise : Under the Gallery app, the Camera folder is completely gone with all the photos inside (videos too). When I take a photo, it does not appear anywhere in the Gallery app (maybe because there is no Camera folder)
Clear the cache/force stop the gallery app.
This happened to me but a restart fixed it.

Tried it several times and it still does not work
I have this exact same problem. It happened as i was fiddling around with the "hide album" feature on a different folder. Camera folder has completely disappeared from gallery app.
[edit] [solved] i was able to go into the files app and clear cache from the options at the bottom. Camera folder appeared again. Huawei p20 pro android 8.1.0

Hi,
I tried what you suggested :
Files app - click on the 3 vertical dots and the top right hand corner - clear cache
The photos still do not appear on the Camera app. FYI my Camera app did not disappear - only the photos taken with the camera.
I had to use a 3rd party Gallery App. Just have to bear with the ads.
only problem i have after messing with hide albums is that i cant see the RAW file no more in the gallery.

Try now going to main gallery list. Select "more" with three dots and choose hidden. If camera is selected, deselect it.

Yes it worked ! All the photos and videos are back ! Thanks a lot !
How did I unwittingly hide the camera album ... Anyway I purposely attempted to hide it again but I cannot see it on the list anymore.... it does not appear all the time. I had let the phone go into standby mode and "wake it" to see the camera album reappears.
Try this
go to Settings/ Application Manager/ All/ Media Storage and then delete the cache, clear data, force stop, and then turn it off and on. After that just restart and check your gallery.
