Hi,
This is a unique kinda problem (not very unique actually but only faced by couple of people) on any cm10 based rom I have tried till now.
The issue is that after I properly flash the rom (yes, I have double checked and flashed roms exactly following OP's instructions in all cases), I find that pre-existing media files (pictures,music and videos) are not getting scanned at all and added to the stock gallery/music app. if I take any picture or upload any media using MTP with the rom, its added properly.
So, I have tried all suggestions (fixing permission, full wipe, delete .nomedia etc) and still no solutions. I am sure that the issue is with mediascanner and I have monitored it and found that eventhough I manually stop and start it using "Rescan Media ROOT", after runnnig for like 20-30 secs, it just says restarting again and again.
Additionally I have also found that when connecting via MTP, eventhough the SD Card and internal memory has alot of stuffs, they are not shown. So I think issue can be with the this also.
I've grown very frustated over last few days due to this and I cannot use any of the amazing cm10 roms that we have and have to go back to my old ics rom.
PLEAZZZ HELP !!!
I also encourage all others who are facing similar issue to post here which would definately help in understanding and fixing the issue.
Thanks !!!
really man? CM10 is not even beta yet. its got bugs. deal with them or use ICS. Im on ICS still due to them.
Complaining about bugs in a build that is so far from being stable, that'll cause trouble.

If it would be a bug in the build only, then it should have affected all who are using it, why only few are getting affected.
And yes, I know its not right to complain about still in beta cm10 releases and thats why I'm not bothering any Devs for it. I have started this thread in Q&A so that guys who are facing the issue can match the different conditions/scenarios it is happening as I know its not a coincidence that its happening on some devices and not on others.

Its either s/w or h/w man.
And from what I can tell its s/w. so its on them. get logs, and send them in.
Entropy has said to set screen to stay awake while charging in dev options. Then plug your phone into charger and reboot then give it about 15 min. to scan. This is to keep media scanner from eating battery, but you could try it and see if has any effect on your issue.

I assume that this allows for a complete scan which would help. If it doesn't help then what was lost?

Yeah , my issue is completely opposite of what most guys were facing (which is supposedly been solved in latest builds). In my case, mediascanner is not running at all to scan all media.

I would do a clean install of cm10, and NOT use the root media scanner app, and then follow what entropy said (keep display on while it scans).
Also, go to manage apps and clear data on DRM, Galley, and Media storage. Reboot and then play some music through your favorite file explorer. The Media Scanner will rebuild data in about 10 minutes to half an hour (try to keep screen on if you can)

Just tried this as I'm having the same problem, no luck. My music player was working fine yesterday then it decided to forget where all the songs were.
Same problem here with Task's AOKP latest(04/9)
I didnt have any problem with the previous release... BUT:
What i already did:
1- Full wipe to flash the new aokp release.
Tibe restore the rescanMedia Root... didnt touch it.
Media not working
2- Flash again without full wipe. Media not working
searched for .nomedia files. No results.
3- Flash again with another full wipe plus system format.
Checked with no Apps installed, media scan not working.
Installed RescanMediaRoot... didnt work.
After that i quit and decided to sleep. All my work on it was with the phone pluged. I dont know why but after unpluged a few musics show up. Only 40 of 2000. No pics.
4-Full wipe + chache format + System format + flash the previous AOKP release. MEDIA NOT WORKING.
was working yesterday...
5- Nandroid restore to number 3.
Thats where i am now. Stuck with the problem with aparently any JB release.
PS. Any new pic shows on gallery...

I'm still facing the issue with apparently any JB build till now .. right from the first one entropy released as cm10 previes build and trust me , I tried all (well almost)
Now , from your problem it seems that once with some particular way of flashing roms, we do something that causes media scan to get corrupt..
Tell me this .. before when it was working.. have u ever tried going to gallery and then settings ?? I never got that menu on any JB release...
After making too much efforts in vain to get it right , I have resorted to the alternatives :
1. Quickpic as replacement to Gallery app.. Keep the default gallery app running for camera..
2. Poweramp full version as replacement to Music.. It has a folder rescan option under setting and searches all ur music..
3. MX video player for video playback.. However I still find few codecs doesn't support audio till now.. but it is issue with all roms for all people afaik..
Let me know if you find a solution and get it working again...
I'm on AOKP for months. Never used any other rom. Never even installed to see what happens.
So, recently Task release his JB AOKP. It is 1 week older and he released 3 or 4 builds.
The first release i did not installed, The second one was released on same day and i did a full wipe to install it from AOKP ICS.
So far everything was working good.
Then came another release, the 30/08. Installed without a full wipe, just dalvik and cache, and everything was working fine.
From the build 30/08 to the build 04/09 i did bought Tibu Pro.
So i did a full wipe to install the 04/09 and the bug show up as you can see on my previous post.
The weirdest thing is full wiping + format System + format cache + install an old AOKP(30/08) and the bug are still there.
Could be that app RescanMediaRoot? Do you have it?
what do this app do to disable the scan? If we disable and uninstall what happens?
I do have setting options on gallery but when i click it nothing happens. No setting there.
Edited:
I just checked BetterBatteryStats and it looks weird. No kernel wakelocks... not even 1.
The most interesting was the Partial wakelocks:
MediaScannerService is the number one with 12min. Its running but nothing changes.
I dont like poweramp cuz the AwesomeBeats wont work with it.

I don't think "rescan Media root' app has anything to do with it .. actually
in my case , I never had this working since the start and at that time I didn't even knew about this app.
I have also noticed the partial wakelocks and if you go to running apps , you will see media storage running when u start a music/gallery app , but nothing happens..
I did tried alot to figure the problem out and seek help from all dev's that I can from this one and i9100 forum , but no results.. So finally I made peace with the workaround I mentioned...
One thing you can try in ur case is full wipe + format system/cache/data and then install a ICS rom.. after reboot.. try any JB rom again....
Good luck !! :good:

I'l try that and repport back.
The problem with media on the external SD card I believe is directly due to the change made in the location of the external SD card card within the directory. Many apps were built for ICS and GB and so when the scan is performed, the app isn't picking up the external SD card which used to be found within the internal SD. Now if media scanner isn't finding media within the internal SD card, that is a whole different story. I have media on my internal SD card and it has worked flawlessly. If you have music on the extsd and are using poweramp you can go into setting and check the box for the extsd outside the internal SD storage and it imports fine. Oh, and I'm running the latest AOKP with the Fluxxi kernel.

I do have pics on the Camera360 folder(internal SD) and it wont show on gallery.
I'll wipe everything and flash JB without the external. But i just find out something strange.
Im on recovery right now and using the file explorer of MrRobinson aroma to test it.
looks like the external its NOT on MNT folder. There are not and MNT folder on root. The external is called Sdcard and there is an emmc folder that looks empty.
Is it right? I really dont know nothing about the folder structure.
Edited:
Second time on Aromas file manager the emmc show all files now.
I belive all this means nothing.
Not all file explorers are equal. You need a root explorer to see the folders. Your music if on the internal, should be in the Music folder following the path home/sdcard/Audio/Music. Pictures on internal should be under home/sdcard/DCIM/Camera. When the external sd card is inserted it should show up in three places. At the root of the directory,you will find it as home/extSdCard, then under home/mnt/extSdCard and finally under home/storage/sdcard1. sdcard is the internal memory. I just moved photos to my extSdCard and rebooted the phone and media scanner didn't find them and setting don't exist on the gallery so you can't direct it to the new path of the extSdCard. So, I just replicated what you have been experiencing. If you move your photos to the Camera folder following the path I listed they should show up. The only reason my music works on Poweramp is because I can go to settings and check the sdcard1 folder under storage. Man I hope you don't mind all this rambling I'm doing and I hope I'm not insulting your intelligence.
No you are not. All this is new to me.
Thanks for all the info. It helped me.
Problem is gonne here.
What I did was:
1- clear cache and dalvik
2- data/factory reset
3- format system
4- format cache
5- format data
6- format internal SD
7- installed latest AOKP+ Gapps. Task's gapps don't come with Gmusic so I installed from Justin's Aroma with 1 or 2 inverted and Apex as a system app. But I did installed the normal gapps before try the Aroma.
First boot fine. I did config WiFi and gaccount slowly.
I didn't let the screen turn off.
When I first open the Gmusic everything was there.
Then I installed Titanium backup pro and did my full restore.
Tested another player , Mixzing, and was all there.
I forgot to save any pic on external since I do have Dropbox and it send it to my PC asap. So I didn't worry about pics.
Everything is working!!!!:beer:
Thank you for all your help.

is it in the external sd card ? then try renaming the folder anything other than the word 'music'. it seemed to have worked for most folks.
Or get Poweramp it works and its very good too.
hey man..thanks..i have poweramp..just want to try the miui music app will try your suggestion
when I had MIUI, it didn't scan sd card media files by default like it does on other ROMs. shame, because I liked MIUI otherwise.
miui music player
the first time i put some music in my sd card it could find them but the next time... no..
no matter where u copy them...
any solution?
Found this thread researching the same issue. Go to settings > filter by folder, and make sure they are checked.
this fixed it for me
I've tried MIUI several times (different builds), and I've always had this problem. Just on a hunch, I tried something today that fixed it for me. Might work for you too.
1. Installed ROM Manager. Chose reboot into recovery mode.
2. In recovery mode I first fixed permissions. Then I wiped Dalvik cache (I suspect this didn't really do anything, but I did it, so I include it). Then I went into the mount menu and mounted sd card (it said unmounted before).
3. Reboot
4. Watched the music player starting to count up all the missing music.
Hi, I need your help about the following issue: I successfully install Cyanogenmod 9 on the Atrix and everything works fine except the internal storage. My phone don't use the internal 10GB memory.
At the moment I can't use several apps ( gallery and camera over all ), Music is the only app working properly. It gives back this message "No storage - No external storage available", the point is I want the Atrix to use internal storage.
I can easly see and browse /emmc by the terminal emulator; for this reason I don't think it to be something involving permissions to enter or use /emmc.
In Settings Menu I can't find any option to properly mount the internal sd ( can only see the memory status ).
Thank you for replies.

Storage menu only shows some status bars about the memory usage. I can't see any option.
Maybe those options have been deleted in CM 9/ics.

I've Installed the sd switch script but nothing changed. I think i'll try formatting and installing Jokersax v 0.5.1 to be sure i am using the last version.
It's on his homepage. Scroll down, download the zip, flash in cwm.
Wait, the internal storage is detected in cwm, right? And it does mount on Windows/Mac/Linux/whatever-os-you're-using?

Script installed, but nothing changed. The storage mounts properly on Windows. I can browse it also inside android ( via terminal emulator or file manager without difficulty ).
I think i am going to install Jokersax 0.5.1 to be sure i am using the last version.
EDIT:
Great News! I was not using Jokersax's last rom. Now i have selected internal storage in settings-advanced and everything works fine.
Thank you all for the help.
Now that I've solved the internal storage problem i would like to ask you some questions.
The first is about the camera: i know there are still problems with jokersax rom and the camera application. There are some external apps to record video or shoot photos without lag or freezing issue?
Second, I tried to see some videos recorded with the motoblur camera ( gingerbread ) and the video stream has a looot of lag. Do i have to get some external codec or anything else? There is already any solution to this problem?
Third and last question, the default browser seems to crash sometimes after display frame rotation and doesn't work properly with some flash application. Solutions?
Thank you for your attention.

#1: Try using videocam illusion for videos, idk if it works with his latest build though.
#2: Try using a 3rd party aplication like Mobo player.
#3: Browser rotation hasnt been fixed yet, well it has but its only in the kitchen sink rom
as an option since it still has a.couple bugs. As for flash issues, make sure.you have.the latest version of flash installed.

For me this happens when I first boot up. It shows that there is no music in play music, and no pics in the gallery app. I usually just wait, and it fixes it self. Idk why this would work, but try using a file explorer (I us es file explorer) and playing a couple of songs through that. One time play music recognized my songs after doing that, but I don't know if it was because of that.

There's a setting somewhere in system settings that you can switch to use internal storage. I've never had a problem and with the os recognizing media with that checked. Requires a reboot though.

Try to view your sd card from a computer or a file browser, look for sd card1 , sdcard2 .. if you have this its just because of the new
base through the cm10 system. It no longer uses EMMC as the path, easiest fixes are under settings-advanced-use internal storage or copy sd card1 into sdcard0 where the path is looking for music and pictures. That should fix it!! Try to reinstall cm10 if that didnt work, fresh wipe, and before your phone boots up the first time, pull the sd card out and let it boot completely then add the sd card back. GOOD LUCK

Im going to need some more info to better assist you then.
Of course you have the moto photon..
What kernel are you using? 1.3 should be the only one stable for a daily driver.
Try re-dowloading the rom from Jokersax.com and do a complete hard reset in CWM recovery.
Please verify you are using the jokersax recovery v3 NOT V4 .. v4 has a known issue when flashing gapps.
Try to do the hard reset 2x before doing any flashing. Hard reset all, clear the devlik cash as well 2x to avoid any issues.
At this point, going into mounts and storage you might want to go ahead and mount and format ALL the storage locations, pull the sd card out so it dosnt recieve a wipe. You may also want to remove your media from the sd card , format and only move back the DCIM picture folder for now.
Once your to that point, install cm10.. do not do anything else.. boot up and test the rom for boot, once you have boot, just go back into recovery and start flashing anything you need. i suggest the latest gapps, the cdma data fix, and mms fix 2 try this.. then re-boot and allow android to upgrade your fixes. once you have booted, go into the settings and choose the advanced-use internal.
Open voice dialer and say open APNS ( once opened it should be BLANK ) i know dont worrie, just hit your menue button and click return to deafault, then re-boot and your data connection, mms and pic mail all should be perfect. Add the sd card in and open gallery. give it time to refresh, mine took almost 2 minutes for pictures to load. If not i would use ( ROM TOOLBOX) or equivilent app that will allow you to browse your directorys with full access to make copys or rename items. Find the storage location and find the sdcard0 and sdcard1.. make a copy of the dcim folder in the sdcard1 that actually has the pictures there, and copy the folder to the other side as well so they are identical.. ICS doesnt look for EMMC anymore and is designed to have the two spaces for memory to support some apps..
Reboot after the copy and try to veiw pictures and music.. Apollo music is my favorite but seems to have some issues working well with google play music as well.. it seems if you run one dont run the other one unless you have closed the process out, I HAD ALOT OF FC issue without doing that each time.. Also use ROM MANAGER to run a fix permissions or do it inside the Recovery mode.
Verifiy some of this information for me and we can get this straightend out.. If you feel that ive helped or resolve the issue let me know!!

Also i forgot to mention to copy the music as well. I would do ALL the copy work from inside the phone not from a computer at this point knowing that the computer does not see the storage spaces correctly, ROM TOOLBOX PRO has given me the best results.. Also try NOT having internal storage selected first and see what shows up if anything. You can also keep the card out and take a picture to see what side your phone uses to view/save the photos and thats the place old pictures need to be as well to be viewed.. I know you might be frustrated at this point but take each step one by one and see what has changed and the results that came from the change.. i didnt do ANY build prop edits, any changes to the rom and have EVERYTHING running on my mypho.. (even videocam records for me on 3rd part app and mapping) PM me if you need links to downloads and if im in good coverage i can let you pull from my drop box privately if needed.. GOOD LUCK
Good day,
I was trying to fix a friend's I9100P and flashed with SuperNexus ROM. I found out that the sdcard files e.g pictures and mp3 can't be indexed. Meaning I can't access the media files on the EXTERNAL SDCard both Gfallery and Music App.
I did some research and tested the following but didn't work.
1. delete .nomedia in all instance both sdcard and internal
2. installed sd-scan app
3. ICS SDBinder app and followed Samsung Hierarchy
Any hope on this? I read that this is the issue in AOSP based JBs.
Don't blame me if I did not find this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842568&page=4
The title is not good searching...I just saw it on other similar thread.
I will update tomorrow since I dont have the unit right now.
Mod: PLease don't lock this yet.
TIA

You can check Rescan Media App from Play Store. Hope this will do the trick!!

Hopefully mate, I texted him to download the app.
Tomorrow, I will try to format his sdcard and probably do full wipe with sdcard on it.
Update: Rescan Media App did not fix the issue.

have you tried all the suggested solutions on my thread? If yes, any progress?
Update: Formatted the mmc via cwm works but when images from 360camera app is added the index wont work. So we decided to clean the mmc and dont use 360camera...
Right now any image produced by 360camera app causes the storage scanner to freeze.
G'day guys. First I would like to apologize just incase this has already been posted. I found a few threads in relation to storage issues but none of them seemed to have the same problem as mine. If this has already been discussed please post the link to the thread here.
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S III I9300. Originally I had this rooted and flashed with a custom rom (I can't remember which one it was about 12 months ago). It was running fine. But I recently decided to remove the SD card as I wish to use it in another device. So I copied all the data from the SD card onto my PC, and then I copied the data from my PC to the phone storage after I had removed the SD card from the phone.
Again the phone worked fine. But then one morning after taking my phone off charge later in the day at work I tried to go into the gallery and it would come up with the message in the below screen shot.
s28(dot)postimg(dot)org/vk4exjdlp/Screenshot_2014_01_06_19_53_26.png (sorry for having to do that XDA won't allow new members to post links/images)
I tried a few things to fix it but I only have an intermediate grasp of features and hacks ect ect. So I decided the best thing to do was to flash back to a completely standard rom. Which I did just an hour ago (Using the I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_I9300XXEMB6_HOME.tar relased from samsung flashed via Odin 3.07)
However even after this factory flash I still have this issue! I can't access the gallery and I can't save images at all. If anybody could help with this issue it would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe because you have removed your external SD card your camera app is trying to store images to it but it can't because it's not there... See if you can change in camera settings where it stores your images to internal instead of external.
The phone automatically changed the settings to storage device when the SD card was removed. Never the less I doubled checked and indeed it is set to device.
It's not just the camera tho. Nothing will save. Screenshots, downloads, camera ect ect. I can't open the gallery app at all.
Also I just noticed a secondary problem. When I open up the camera app I can see everything fine inside the app but when I go to take a photo I doesn't save it (which I already knew, part of the original problem) but I just noticed when I tried to close the camera app after taking a photo it wouldn't let me! It would not close. All the setting tabs greyed out so I couldn't go into any of the menus and I had to force restart the phone to be able to use it again!!!!

Clear all data and freeze the one that's causing problems and backup and uninstall and use another..If you like stock camera try one of the modded ones in themes thread...
This thread can be closed now.
I'm still not exactly sure what the problem was or specifically what fixed it. But last night i decided to root the phone again and install a custom rom (I installed Android Revolution HD 40.0) and after it was flashed everything works as normal.
So sorry if you happen to have the same problem as me and stumbled across this thread at a later date. I don't know how to fix the problem but apparently a root and custom rom works wonders. lol.
Thanks for the help anyway tallman43.
