this might help, got it from an earlier post,
Let me note :
if you add the gallery.php (form the plugin folder) to
{wordpress dir}\wp-content\themes\your theme directory\nggallery\gallery.php
then you can call it with [nggallery id=x]
if you need another template use the tag [nggallery id=x template=mysample]
and NextGEN Gallery look for a file in
{wordpress dir}\wp-content\themes\your theme directory\nggallery\gallery-mysample.php
There might also be other relevant discussion on gallery ID and templates read the whole thread for more.
