New update! Gallery not working?

I did right after I reloaded. I let what apps needed to update from the market pull their updates, then rebooted and it's been fine since.
 
I had that a couple of months back. Nothing I tried would work to get the gallery not to force close when I tried to open a folder.

The only fix was to backup all my files off the "Media" of the internal storage, and the SD card. Then, go into settings, format both and copy all my data back on.

It was a pain in the rear as I had to manually re-do all my custom ringtones, images linked to contacts... Not a fun prospect.
 
You could also try clearing data/cache on Gallery and Media Storage in Manage applications... but, I think that too will break the links to any media files used for things like Ringtones and such.
 
Hey man I just figured it out.

My dialer app didn't work either. I use launcher pro. I deleted the shortcut for dialer and added it again. The icon is different and now it works. I restarted launcher pro and gallery disappered, so I added the shortcut again, now it all works.

Try that.

there you go, that's the fix. the gallery works, and works much better than before. you need to just delete whatever shortcut you had and use the new one.
