Very sorry if this has already been addressed.
When using any JellyBean rom I cannot access pictures or music (and possibly video) via the stock gallery or music app. I have tried deleting the .nomedia file found in clockworkmod (even tho this file is on my internal not external sd card) but to no avail.
A few things to note,
my sd card is 32gb sandisk formatted to fat32,
when i take a pic on the cam only that pic shows up in the gallery - none of the others taken on an ICS rom even tho they are in the same folder.
Quick pic shows all of my pictures regardless of whether they were taken on JB or ICS.
thanks in advance for any help

I am running Resurrection Remix V1.4 and have just seemingly run out of memory on my internal sd...i have a 32GB external and wondered what and how i could move.... I can't see an option on the AOKP camera to change the storage location of photographs..
anyone? i think it is worth formatting the internal SD card...will this mess with the rom or just clear stuff like photos videos and apps? how can i restore those?
better you manually move your stuff from int.SD to Ext SD, like images/songs/videos
copy paste DCIM to Ext SD and delete DCIM folder....it will automaticaly created again.
whoops i thought no one was going to reply so i reformatted the internal...everythings fine and it seems to have got my space back on the internal card but in the gallery there are just black squares....how can i fix that even if it means losing my photos?
I normally use Sammy based ROMs like Neatrom or checkrom and i usually save pictures and .zips to my external sd.
However, when i switch to AOKP/AOSP roms, i noticed a couple of problems:
1) Gallery doesnt show pictures because my pics are in external sd
2) Stock Android camera doesnt have the option to save pics to sd card
3) external sd folder itself is empty.
4) The phone and sd card is viewed as an entertainment device when plugged into my laptop, as opposed to being the normal MTP usb drives. This means the files on my external sd card do not show up.
I think all these happen because my data in the sd card is not being mounted properly. Ive tried using remountSD apk and it does mount my external sd properly, which allows me to view my external SD using ES File explorer, which solves issue 3. However, it does not solve: 1) gallery still doesnt see my pics. 2) Android camera still cannot save to sd card. 4) Phone is still detected as entertainment device.
This is one of the biggest reason for me to not use AOKP/AOSP roms.
Any help or explanation of why these things happen would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Does anyone know anything about this at all?

What AOKP/AOSP are you using?
External SD issue
-Under ICS Aokp/aosp, your external SD card is mounted here: /mnt/emmc (use es file explorer to browse the root of your phone)
-under JB Aokp/aosp, your external SD card is mounted here: /storage/sdcard1
Gallery Issue
Visit this thread for solution
Android camera
-Android camera cannot save to SD is a known issue for AOSP camera app.
-If you are on ICS, download Camera ICS, which is the same Aosp camera app with all these functions you need eg SD card save. You can also try other alternatives.
-If you are on JB, download Camera JB+ which is the same JB camera with many more functions you are talking about. you can also try other alternatives.
Connection to Laptop
-entertainment device means your phone is connected as MTP instead of Mass storage mode (you got it wrong there)
-to connect in UMS mode instead of MTP, Go to Setting>Storage> press menu for options > Usb computer connections>select Mass storage
solved

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
I have a Moto Droid Razr Maxx, rooted running latest JB 4.1.2, (98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US) anyways this problem has been occurring from day one and it is annoying as crap. Hope someone can tell me what to do. In my Camera settings I chose to send all photos taken to my 16GB external SD card and have verified the Camera settings over and over but for some reason every few pics I take it will create a DCIM folder on my internal storage and a Camera folder inside that and my pics start ending up in there. So.....when I open the Gallery once again I have two Folders named Camera, with a few different pics in it and then I still have my Camera folder on my external card. I move my pics from the internal storage to the external storage manually, then delete the DCIM folder from the internal storage. I then repeat the process and, well told you all that above. It was doing this before rooting and it is still doing it after. Being that I am rooted though, is there any setting in my build.prop file that controls this? Just grasping at straws here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I purchased the P780 a few weeks ago. Although I'm happy with the phone there are a few glitches that I cannot seem to find a solution to.
1. Any images or audio files put on the external memory card are not shown in the super gallery photo viewer or google music player.
2. I have selected the external memory card as the default write disk. All the data (Whatsapp downloaded images, videos, etc, documents downloaded from the web browser) are stored on the memory card, but they cannot be seen on the photo viewers or music players etc. If I default the writing disk to the internal memory card, none of my apps installed on the external card are shown in the menu.
Is there any solution to this problem? If not, just tell me. I'll stop looking for the solution and get on with using it as is.
Thank you.
I never have problem with this, I am using 32 GB external micro SD and no problem. Are U talking about storage which has phone only or included SD card?
Add 2. It s normal when U change external to internal storage (or conversely) as default storage, that phone doesnt see the app which was instaled before changing storage, but when when draped as it was originally, it will return back.
U can try use another viewer for image or music from playstore, if U see all images or music, ... If U are using SD card, it must be formated fat32 (not NTFS) or ext2/3/....
And place when U download files U can set in the internet browser properties.
Which ROM on your lenovo are U using?
Thank you. I shall try re formatting it and also look for other viewers/players.
BEFORE RE-FORMATING DO BACKUP of all !
Of course.
Hi all.
I've run into a problem with KitKat (4.4) ROMs where it seems my external SD card is not being read by some apps. For example the Gallery will only display pictures from the internal storage and the same goes for Play Music. If I use, say ES file Explorer, it is able to read and modify the contents of my external SD card. This has only happened so far on the two KitKat ROMs I've flashed - SlimKat and SlimSaber. I was able to fix the Gallery problem by installing an app called 'Rescan SD Card!', but that was only a temporary solution as I was having more problems browsing through photos in the Gallery.
I'm wondering if any has run into the same problem as me, with some apps not being able to access external SD content. And if there is (hopefully) some kind of fix for this. I can't really seem to find an answer for this phone on the internet.
Thanks for reading.
