This isn't Samsung support, it's XDA-developers. Have you contacted Samsung yet about your alleged AOKP issue?

Have you tried clearing cache and data for gallery and media storage? if you've not give that a try and then power off and back on.

Why the F777 should anyone be helpful its not a paid for service ..
If a user who knows the answer is online and has read your post and knows the answer you get a reply .
Your attitude is totally against what XDA Developers stands for .

It's funny you should say that, because I just had a quick glance through your post history expecting to find loads of posts where you helpfully assist others with their problems. But for some reason all I see is requests for help and spam posts in the development forums.
Just to finish off here, I don't use an AOKP ICS ROM and have no intention of flashing one just to find out what's going wrong for you.

Force stop and disable the Gallery app, move your .nomedia file to wherever you wish, then clear data and enable it again.

Hey please frnds don't get me wrong....
I'm 17 and an indian (very weak in english) sometimes i use wrong words which has dual meanings but don't think plz that i have bad attitude...

I've got another solution bro - put a .nomedia in the folder u wanna hide, then open gallery and open that perticular pic or vid and view it, the pic wud be shown but it won't become clear on zooming,
Try to zoom it and then press back
Now press menu and then press refresh, after sometime folder will vanish
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

Or you can just rename the folder with the .nomedia file in my files app and the media scanner is doing a new scan and now wont show the nomedia-folder in gallery...

I'm not on a samsung rom...
No media scanner here bro !
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

Uh sorry aokp rom

htc sensation ics .nomedia stock
I too am having this problem on stock tmobile ics

All I ever had to do was copy the .nomedia file to a folder I wanted to block media files being found and then switch off and on the phone. The phone would then rescan itself for media files (obviously ignoring folder with the .nomedia file).

Ringtone Problems

Okay so I have a feeling there is a simple fix bit I've tried everything I know on how to fix this. I have ringtones on my memory card that was working find on my Evo 4G and now that I have my 3D it will not let me set them as a ringtone. It doesn't even show up in the list of ringtones like it used too. I can play them in the file explorer that I have but it the option to apply as ringtones doesn't work. the files are .ogg
So you've discovered root sweet how did you do it?

no, the development section, in very broad terms, is more about furthering our phones capabilities via roots and roms. not really a place to ask questions, unless those questions relate relate to rooting or roms you are making. in general, if you're unsure, the q&a section is where you should go before here.

The video is not pointless, if you watched it youd notice you broke an xda rule that's covered in the video. If you can't follow the simple rules, expect to get flamed.
Okay well like I said a few posts after I didn't realize I posted in the wrong forum and if you check Q&A I went there afterwards. So calm down and if this post bothers you so bad why don't you go stalk the other forums and attack all the other posts that should be elsewhere.

Get a file explorer like Astro and then create a folder on your sd card called "media" (no quotes). In that folder, create a folder called "ringtones" (no quotes) and put your custom ringtones in it. They should then show up in the list of available ringtones. Do the same for a "notifications" folder (no quotes).

Done that I have had that set up since I had my G1. I downloaded an app from the market that was a soundboard and when i hit apply my phone froze up and forceclosed. And it didn't apply.

ChatOn Samsung Messenger

http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/29/samsungs-chaton-messaging-service-brings-free-texting-to-androi/
So there is this awesome chatting application that will be / already is cross-platform. But it isn't compatible with our Atrix's.
Any one know why? Just the screen res? Any chance of hacking an APK file to make it work?
I downloaded an apk because it said it wasn't available in my country and it works perfectly fine. kinda confused as to why it would say incompatible in the first place.
I'm running it on my atrix and it works really well.
How is this different/better than something like Kik that is also cross platform?

Taken from the Checkrom forum post I suggest you read about the rom you are using before making posts like this one again.
In regards to the kitchen make sure you are set to the correct server if its set to the old Revolution ROM 2.7.1 i would take a stab and say they wont work since they are built for XXKI3.
Also try removing cached packages from kitchen pro preferences.
Base XXKI4
Multi CSC
Deodexed
Zipaligned
no increasing ring for Phone.apk
resolv.conf added for faster gps lock
Much Improved an optimal Init.d scripts
Updated DK Engine for the upcoming kernel!
Tweaks to build.prop
JkayV12.1
Minor bug's fixed
smoothness to the core
Included libsqlite.so and libsqlite_ini.so from Android 2.3.7 (improves performance)
Included app_process and system_server from Android 2.3.7 (improves scrolling)
Included sqlite3
Maps.apk to v5.11 with global Navigation (ownhere/Brut.all)
added .salted_hash in sdcard/clockworkmod

[NEED HELP] Music will not sync into stock player/player pro

So here is my small problem
I copied alot of music to my internal storage, into sdcard/music when i first got my S3. Worked perfectly.
I was using the stock Music player for a while then it got on my nerves and i installed PlayerPro which works great.
Now a months later i got some new music and i copied it to my internal sd.
The only thing:
The music is not showing up in stock player and playerpro ,however it can show in poweramp trial version which i got from playstore. I can play the files from my file manager but in the actual music app it wont show up.
I rebooted, reinstalled music apps,removed avast mobile security, cleared cache on all involved apps, deleted the music and copied again, and manual copy...
And it cant be the music itself because it works when picked directly in file manager
Tried placing the music in various location in my internal sd. It still wont work either.

While in the camera app, click on the settings icon. It's the one shaped like a gear. Scroll to the second to last option, which is "Storage." Select "Phone" for internal storage or "Memory card" for MicroSD.
Let me know if that is what you were looking for.

Yeah, shows up in storage, shows available space and unmount and format. Tried amounting and mounting but no change.
It also shows up in any file explorer and I can access all files, but no luck on the apps listed .its not really a massive problem as I will live with it till official release comes out with, but if it's a simple fix or me just being thick I will sort it.had issues with S2 and memory card on custom roms, but this has really thrown me due to it being there but not in some apps?
