Hello so I have UberMusic v1.1 as my default music player. I would like to know if there is a way for ubermusic to ignore a specific folder or a way to do it. Because I have a game and ubermusic is picking up the game files
Thank You

.nomedia file should do the trick
It ignores .nomedia files on my phone.

I just figured it out, and boy is it stupid. The .nomedia files need to be created before the directory is ever scanned and found to have media.
Here is the solution, and here is the relevant bug. I can confirm this finally works with UberMusic.
Related
I just flashed Westfire ROM 3.0 and the media files on my ext-sd are not being detected.
\sdcard\ext_sd\Music\song.m4a etc.
Or
\sdcard\ext_sd\DCIM\100MEDIA\ etc.
I can see everything in Root Explorer but neither Music, Google Music, or Gallery see the appropriate files.
Any clues for me?

Try this

Another option you might try is to use ES File Explorer or a similar program. Go to the folders where your pictures and the music are, and create into this folder a new one. Don't put any files in this folder! Just rename the created folder in .nomedia and reboot with fastbootmode ( in the energy settings) disabled.
I had similar problems once with an Archos 70 Internettablet, and this was the solution that worked for me.....

There's some mysterious bug regarding how the media scanner is triggered in some of the ROMs, I think... if you keep telling media scanner to run again and again, eventually it twigs that there's music.
i've never had this problem...until i read this thread...and then a day later it happened to me too
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES??
Pictures but no music - Evo View
I have an Evo View. I have about 3GB of MP3s on my sdcard. I've been unable to update my music library. I've tried creating a .nomedia folder in the folder where my music files are. I rebooted with fastboot disabled. But my library is still empty. If anyone has any other ideas, please share.

I believe the .nomedia file/folder tells android to exclude the folder from media players. So I'd delete this.
Then I'd unmount the sd card, and mount it again.
Go to file explorer, find your media and click a song to play. It should play fine.
On the mount it should recognize your media in the default music player. I just tried it and worked on my gingerbread rom. You might have to do a restart to get it recognized. But on HC or GB, this worked for me.
There's an app called rescan media on the market that you can run instead of restarting. Just run it after you mount the sd card.
I use poweramp to play my music and it finds my sdcard fine. It has different equalizers setup and sounds great. Plus you can choose where you media files are located. This makes it easy to setup your music files on the external sd card. But that costs a few bucks.

Maybe.
The problem is an incorrect link in the filesystem. Instead of link to a file, it link to another link.
The problematic file is sqlite3 in directory /system/xbin. You must find somewhere this file and replace the link.
I am encountering a strange problem.any music player except poweramp doesn't showing my songs.but using any file manager I can able to play songs individually it's annoying me a lot.has any one faced this problem?pls help me
Wait for a while then check again or try rebooting your phone. Btw, what rom are you using?
Moving your songs to a folder named 'music' might work too
Delete the double post too

I tried gtr, oxygen, nightly and all except ics rom but problem is there with me present I'm using perfect peso 2.3.
Songs are in music folder only
Ok!, try to browse using root explorer, and show hidden files, and find ".nomedia" file to the folder where the music files are located and delete it. Now go to dev tools and selext media scanner.. that should do the trick..

Put a file named .nomedia in the folder you want to ignore.

Create a file named .nomedia and put it there. That's the file name, not the folder name.

I created a playlist with all the songs I like to hear... you saved hours of time
I was wondering if anyone knows the save location for final fantasy III? I have a saved game on my tablet and would love to be able to put it on my phone for when I don't have my tablet handy! Any help would be appreciated!
I don't have that game but based on common knowledge and the apps id in the play store start looking in
/data/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFIII_GP
Is your tablet rooted? If so maybe you can use titanium backup and copy the folder onto your phone then restore data

I was about to ask the same thing...
not rooted though.
shadowofdarkness is right, if you go to that folder there is a folder called files. In that folder is a file called save.bin. I just took the file from my galaxy tab and put it on my galaxy nexus, and it worked fine.

He is not talking about /sdcard/Android/data/ folder he is talking about /data/data/ folder which is accessible from root. It is there I just checked myself.
The obb folder is the file downloads when you first buy the game. It has the pictures and music and everything. That folder is on the sdcard, the folder you are looking for is not on the sdcard, but on the phone's internal memory. You will see folders for all of the game/apps you have there.

can anyone upload their save.bin file who is somewhat farther along? (I just defeated medusa at tower of odin.) I lost all of my progress
I can upload mine, but I am not that far. As of right now I just got the enterprise from the Vikings.
Let me know if you want it.

The OBB file should not be concern of yours. I predict it's a file with games resources in a database.
Just use DataSync mate, works wonders for what you need

Could you post that? I am right after getting the ship and have managed to get myself stuck after riding around the place on a Chocobo. I found a glitched area and can't get out of it.
I think I did the same thing. I got stuck up in a waterfall earlier today on the chocobo and had to close the game and reload my save.
Here it is, hosted on my public dropbox:

The waterfall where there's a lake above it that has a shadow-y fish in it? Yeah that's the spot.

There is only one Application with which you can view the content of data folder already mentioned few messages before, and it's "Root Explorer" Application. You have to buy it, because I personally have tested lot of file managers and this one is the unique which do what you want whith simplicity. Hope that will help you.

I actually prefer Total Commander over Root Explorer for a few reasons, and it is also free. But either one will let you get into the /data directory to get at the save.

rename the file(s) and remove .nomedia at the end of the extension, like photo.jpg.nomedia > photo.jpg
Or if theres an empty file with the extension .nomedia along with other files in the same direction, this file tells the indexing to hide this directory from the gallery. Remove this file then or rename it and remove the .nomedia
You can do this with any filemanager.
I use ES File Explorer and Root Explorer for example. If the files still not showing up, try do a media scan with Media Scanner in many cases this does the trick.
No its not an extension it's just a separate .nomedia file but with a 3rd party galary app it's hidden how it's supposed to be >.....<

From what I can find, this is a bug.. It's not related to this phone, It's Android in general
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24162
A workaround would be to rename the folder containing the .noname file and the other files. Then renaming it back to what the folders name was before. It's confirmed to work for allot of people.
Thanks found a temp fix " the problem seems to be the MediaScanner, which does not start to re-index media. If you clear data via App info for Media Storage (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Media Storage), .nomedia finally has an effect. (All credit for this workaround goes to aelfwyne from http://code.google.com/p/ankidroid/issues/detail?id=910)."
