UPDATE: I totally wiped the phone and installed a newer ROM. That fixed the problem. Cheers to the tactical nuke option!
Recently installed a new theme, the KI4 modem and latest Speedmod kernel, and now my Google Music app no longer detects any of my music.
I can't logically trace/remember which specific OS tweak caused the phone to not detect my media anymore, but the problem only emerged since yesterday.
I've read a bunch of threads, tried several different fix methods (reformat the SD card, reboot, USB debug mode on/off, etc) but had no luck. I downloaded the "Rescan Media Root" app, but even it didn't work.
Any idea what would cause my phone to stop recognizing media?
My next solution is to completely wipe the phone and reinstall a stock OS (tactical nuke option).
Appreciate any insight. I'm familiar with CWM and Odin, and willing to try any repair. Thanks!

Didn't find any "nomedia" folder.
I'm really perplexed. I can see all of my music files through ED file explorer, but then the same files aren't picked up by my music apps.

Ok People I really need your help badly,I am tired of this.My mediascape does not work anymore, no media apps works.No apps displays the media I have in SD card.I can individually open music,video and picture using ES file explorer or play music using MixZing and Muiu Music player but the library is empty.The gallery apps also does not work.I re-flashed it using generic firmware, still nothing.And now I noticed that even ring tone does work,it lets me choose any audio as ring tone but when call comes its just default beep.I don't know what else to say or to do.I tried a lot.Please help if you can, if not don't give me crap about read before posting or where to post or give any comment.I have once contacted SE support and they have said that I done something to the license.Please help me, I don't care if I cant play media, I just want to change my ring tone at least.
What firmware are you on?
After re-flashing the generic firmware did you make any changes of any sort?
Pls check if our SD card is working fine my checking on another phone

I'm going low-tech here and asking you to make sure your USB cable isn't still connected to your phone and computer.
If your USB cable is still connected to your phone and computer your phone will not have access to your sd card.
If it isn't connected we can at least scrub that off the list of possibles.
i hav somethin like tis sort happened to me once
it was the memory card problem
try to reformat ur memory card

Well I dont remember much, I am using Eminence v.12 currently.My phone was perfect after this rom, the only thing i was missing was reboot option in power menu.So added that using forum guide and it worked but framework was changed and animation effect were removed too.Rite after this the media stopped working.So using xrecovery i restored to original firmware, still same problem.Then I reflashed it with generic .24 firmware and still same problem.Regarding sd card I have been non stop using it as flash drive, so i doubt its the sd card but i can try reformatting and see.Thanks for the help

is your phone usb connected to your pc? mounted? can you access your sdcard in your pc? disconnect your phone from pc or unmount it from usb connection to use sdcard in your phone.
Hi all, I've been very interested with XDA-Developers since i bought my LG P500. I'm currently having an issue with video playback on my phone. Here's a quick rundown of my slightly tweaked phone:
Stock Froyo 2.2 rom v10a
Franco kernel v18.1
Rooted phone with superuser,rom manager,titanium backup,root explorer etc..
And here's my problem:
I wanted to get rid of the buggy stock video app on my froyo,and use one from the market.So, i took precautions and made a backup of stock video player 1.64 using TBackup, deleted the stock vid app using TB itself, then installed a new video app from the market (actually i installed a few..). But when i try to play a video stored on my phone/sdcard with my new vid app, it causes a 'force close' error for all the different vid apps.
I then thought i might hav made an error deleting the stock vid app. So i tried to restore it using TB, but when trying to restore, it remained stuck on the 'Restoring App' and kept on and on trying to restore. I even needed to restart my phone for that to stop, and of course the stock vid app was still not restored.
I tried another workaround: using root explorer, i gained access to system/app folder on my phone and tried to install the stock system video.apk in it, with R/W. still nothing.tried changing the permissions as well, still nothing. I am at a loss here friends, and do not intend to flash a custom rom for the moment [i.e. until i try the official gingerbread rom and see for myself if it is good enough, else, either mik's 6.6 or noejn's rom..] So please, help me guys on this one to get my stored videos working again on my stock froyo rom..
Thx.
Have u tried rockplayer universal version.. and make sure that the video is not above the resolution of 680*320
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
No i havent tried rockplayer, but i'll give it a go, even though i'm pretty sure the outcome will be the same. Also, the video i am trying to play is one which i recorded with my lg p500 camera itself. That video was playing fine before i removed the stock video app.. Now no video stored on my phone is playing. On the other hand, my youtube app streams youtube videos just fine..
I think maybe i am gonna hav to look for a system dump, extract the stock vid app, and somehow try to shove it into system apps using root explorer..

I think that's the way to go. Get hold of it from somewhere, from a nand backup, or from a stockrom.zip. Plus the stock rom is not deodexed, so you'll need the apk and the odex file as well. Or you could simply perform a factory reset.

As it is, there is no odex file for the stock movie player app in system/app folder. Can anyone please brief me as to how I should go about restoring my stock vid app on my lg p500 and get my vids to work again?

Do u have any idea where i can get an odex file for the stock video player app? i cant seem to find one anywhere.. I've also got a nand backup, but they r all img. files.. how should i go about extracting the apk and odex files i need from the nand backup?
Just try this enable USB debugging than use TB to restore the app.

Still doesn't work even with usb debugging on. TB wont restore it at all.. It's like stuck in a loop while trying to restore the stock vid app.. Can anyone send me a link where I can download a system dump of froyo 2.2 for lg p500?

Regarding the TB restoring issue, I face it every time and I've totally stopped trying to restore. I got fed up
Have you tried flashing the addon packages for void forever ROM? There is a package which has the stock video app I suppose. Try flashing it through CWM.
[EDIT]: Sorry I didn't notice that you're using 2.2. I don't think the void forever addon pack would work.
I've finally found a workaround for this problem guys.i downloaded a vid app called mx video player as well as it's associated codec addon from the market.my stored vids are working again as long as I keep both of them apps on my phone..
The pair of them (app + addon) are quite heavy though, anyone knows a lighter equivalent by any chance?

install busybox from market, run the app and click install, its shows status- done which can give u R/W access to system partition and the install vm heap tool. set vm heap size 48 MB. then install mobo player and then mobo player codec from then market. go to the menu of mobo player tick mark soft decording option. and ur phone can play even 720p videos. Its lag but its can play. Use XVID4PSP convert software for best playing for P-500

So, I've been unable to find any threads on this so I don't know if this is a common problem or not. My phone is rooted but I'm not quite sure if I'm using a mod, if I am it's a clockwork mod or something, I honestly don't remember what I used to mod it cause it was months ago. Anyways, I'm having problems downloading certain applications from the Google Store. It downloads it then when it's about to install it gives me an Error saying, "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" and it only does this with certain apps, I'm able to download and install or update a lot of applications but it only does this to certain apps, I've tried turning my phone on and off, that does nothing, I would turn off my phone and take everything out but I'm not quite sure if that would work either.
I was wondering if there's a solution to this because I'm trying to download a new theme for my GO Launcher EX and it keeps telling me I cannot download it, it's done it to games that I've had before too, it's really weird.
Glad to know that none of you can help me.

Try creating the symlink for cache\download folder on your system partition
How might I do that?

Hi, I've got strange problem, cause I can't flash any rom via RSD (except IHOP for bootloader unlock). It stucks allways on 99% then I get "failed to boot 1". What I have to do? I have INTL Atrix. I need to flash via RSD cause I can't see any images with diffrent gallery apps and can't listen cause all of music players (except PowerAMP) are saying "no music files". Do you have any ideas how to slove my problem?
Have you tried any of the fruitcakes?

Weird. I've always had my music on my external card and both Blur and CM ROMs seem to find it just fine. There was a recent issue with ROM Manager where it put a .nomedia file at the root of, I think, /mint/sdcard. Use something like root explorer to delete that if it exists at the root of the affected storage.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
there is no .nomedia file
Dear all,
I really like the ES File Explorer but I have a strange problem.
It just crashes very often, during exploring the files on my internal or external SD.
To figure out the cause, I tried to
- used a differend SD-card
- used a stock rom with full wipe
- used a differend SGIII with my SD-card
but the problem is still unsolved.
I hope, anyone has an idea for a possible solution.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards
