hello, recently every few day in my gallery, the phone decides to duplicate every picture and video but as a corrupt file, which is unusable.
any ideas why this is happening?
the only way to solve it so far is to keep unmounting and mounting the sd card to get them to disapear again.
thanks in advance

But can u please tell me about which rom u're using & with which kernel?

It won't delete your files/data
I guess i had a similar problem after installing xperia s walkman musicplayer on ics 4.0.3
+1 for Jokesy's solution
U can also wipe cache and dalvik cache through recovery ( and no this won't delete ur data too )

Sorry about that.
-Goto your picture folders using a file manager, enable hidden folders
-delete .thumbnails folder, everyone of them, even in sub-folders
-Goto Settings - Apps -All - Media storage, clear data.
-Reboot phone to recovery
-wipe cache
-reboot phone.
Note:
-always try to properly unmount/safely remove your phone, after connecting to pc, when necessary.
-You can also scan your external SD for errors in your Pc.

I don't have hidden folders with miniatures, but when I reboot the device, it keeps duplicating the files. If I clear the media storage app and reboot, gallery shows the right files, no duplicates. But if I reboot again and don't clear media storage, when the system starts I will have duplicate media files, so it's not a permanent fix. Is there another way that I could solve this?
I'm using RootBox 1.8 with Siyah 4.1.4.

Hi I don't know if anyone else has had this problem and can't find it so here goes.
I went from a ICS custom rom to JB
After all the bugs I went back to ICS. But now the ICS roms won't read my internal sdcard. Example my gallery only reads my external sd card so Loadsa pics not there. I can see them in file manager but not apps, and if I download and save to internal it shows but not existing files. Please help. I've tried full wipe re flash roms, wipe app data nothing working. First real problem in years of flashing custom roms.
Please help me head hurts

Try this solution and let me know if it works:
- use a file manager/explorer to browse through your files on your internal SD.
- open your picture folders e.g. DCIM
- delete any .nomedia file present in those folders.
-Reboot

Nope no such files. Checked was showing hidden and root files too

ok
Follow this instruction below.
If you don't have access to pc, you can still use your file manager.
This is the final solution I can offer.
You will need your Pc.
Please don't miss any step.
1.
- connect your device to your Pc
- move/cut your media files and folders to a location on your Pc (double check these folders on your Pc to ensure .nomedia files are not present in the folder)
- reboot your device
- If you have ROM manager installed, please uninstall it with titanium and reboot your device.
- Create new folders for your media files using any file manager on your internal SD card. Don't copy anything to them yet.
- Take a picture with your phone, check if it's showing in your gallery.
- reboot your device
- Check again if the pic you took the other time is still showing in your gallery
- Download QUICKPIC from market as a reference gallery app.
- open quickpic and see if the pic you took the other time is also showing there.
If the pic you took is showing in the gallery app, then you can proceed to step 2.
2.
-connect your phone to your Pc
-copy back your media files (don't copy the folders) to the new folders you created on your internal SD card in step 1.
-reboot your device.
-open both gallery app and quickpic to confirm if all of them are showing now.
Good luck and goodnight

Thanks for your help. This method does seem to be working. Although it does seem to be an issues with the gallery app. I could only copy the media that I know of its location as I'm sure your aware it can end up all over with different apps. But after the install of Quickpic it had no problem finding all the media files. Lots more and the same ones as the gallery app. All the files gallery app use to find. Thanks for your help.
Would really like to solve the gallery app problem. I'm going to get another room and start fresh. Full factory wipe and cache partition. Is there any way of making sure there's no gallery data or anything in my titanium backup.

Did you miss any steps?
This solution should solve the problem with your gallery app.
Try to locate your picture folders manually and follow the instructions again.
Why am I stressing this?
-the instructions in my previous post have solved other people's problems after installing jellybean or CM9.
-even if you do factory reset and move to another ROM, the problem may still persist (at least that's what others are saying)
-i know quick pic is working now but I'll still say, follow the instructions above and let me know what happens.
****Please answer this question***
After trying some of the steps above,
Is your gallery app now showing some of your pictures?
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
I have followed the steps you gave me and it worked. All the folders I did it to now show up. But like I said there are pictures elsewhere also and they show up in Quickpic because it's scanning my sdcards properly. Gallery app isn't.
Thanks for your help ur method worked for the folders I moved and copied back. So the gallery app is clearly working for new files or folders but not for existing files or folders.
Thanks again Robbo

Oh! That looks pretty simple.
To solve the new problem:
-Open quickpic
-open the album/folder that you need to know the location.
-long click on any of the pictures in the folder/album, and check for the picture details. From the details you should be able to get the folder location if you have basic compute knowledge. Repeat the same thing for all the folders you are interested in.
-now that you have discovered the location of, it's time to apply my fix one more
All should be working perfectly now

I just made a clean install from FoxHound 4.1 to FoxHound 1.5.3 with a factory reset.
Everything seams to work fine but I have a couple of problems.
One of them is that gallery not displaying photos in DCMI folder on external sd?
I can see all the photos when using a file explorer, but the gallery app refuses to display them, it only display new photos, even though they're placed in the same folder.
I am also having a problem getting playerpro to find the "MUSIC" folder on my external SD, when I want to select the music folder all it shows is a "/".
GoBackup was also unable to find it's backup folder on the external SD.
However apps like Power AMP finds the files on the external SD with no problem.
Thanks in advance.

okay the next resort is to delete data from mediastorage in application manager..reboot your phone and see if it works...
Install gallery refresh from Google play (free). It should force a media refresh.
I don't know if this app works for a corrupt cache. You could also try to remove the data of the media library

Hi guys, I'm new to this Forum
Actually, Im having this problem…
It all about my font ..
I was using the fonts from settings > display > font … but then I thought of changing a newer font, and so I downloaded “Font Installer”
I didn’t read the instructions carefully before I download and install…It says **Backup first before you do anything**, and so, I install the font and it change my browser’s font and the folder font (like when you create a folder, it will show you how many app you have in the folder, it changed the numbers too)
I wanted to change it back to my original font but it wouldn’t let me anymore, I downloaded other fonts but it still doesn’t work..
My friend told me the original font for S2 ICS is [Roboto-regular.ttf]…
So, I try and try and try, finally, it allows me to change the font and it ask me to reboot.
Okay, I reboot my phone, then the phone starts and keep on loading at the “S Samsung Galaxy S II Logo’ and I wait and wait, it still doesn’t do anything..
Im thinking of my phone was BRICKED..Then I ask my friend straight away about it…What he told me was it is just “BootLoop” (not sure what is that)…
He ask me to do these steps..
1. Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button
2. It then directs me to CWM, It gave me 6/7 choices… (reboot system, wipe data, wipe cache and few more)
3. 1st I click reboot system (still doesn’t do anything), then 2nd I click wipe cache ( click yes and then I click reboot system again), not working also…
4. then my friend ask me to clear dvcache and clear all data, he say it will lose everything…
What should I do now ?
I've saved my contacts in my SIM..gallery, apps doesn't care anymore..
If so, do i need to reformat my phone ?
It won't help you so don't wipe

So can you go into CWM? (Volume up+home+power). Clear the cache and dalvik cache. Then go to install zip from internal SD(depends if you put in phone storage or micro SD.). Find the file from the above and install. Then reboot. Should be fine then.

Dalvik cache is just for the apps data. It doesn't reformat. Its not much actually. Just that it might cause errors with you don't wipe it. Hmm. Put it in micro SD card then. Install from external SD and reboot.
Sent from my potato.
When your phone starts up, the Dalvik Virtual Machine ( Dalvik Cache) looks at all your apps and frameworks, and creates a tree of dependencies which is stored in the dalvik-cache. This allows applications to run in an optimised state (and explains why your phone takes longer to boot up after applying a new rom, it’s rebuilding the cache.)
SO when flashing new roms without wiping dalvik cache sometimes will result in Force Close issue due to Dalvik VM skipping the caching process for apps as it detected existing app cache.
To connect your phone to the computer, connect it and in CWM go to "mounts and storage" . The last option should be "mount usb storage". Then you can move the file written above

Hi,
I am experiencing a problem, please if anyone can help.
When I tried to open QuickPic, there is a popup saying that "Not an Error. Unable to Read/Write in Database" something like that.
When i try to open Gallery, I can't even open the app. It says memory full, delete some application, etc.
When i take a screenshot via power + home, it says Unable to save screenshot, try delete some space etc.
When i try to send a image over whatsapp it says cannot preview image.
I have plenty of space in my internal and external sd card, i have cleaned the caches, wipe app data etc, fixed permissions in recovery but no luck.
Any other solutions?
I am on Neat rom 4.8 lite. Thanks
Solved
Okay i found the problem, basically i connected my s2 to a tv via usb to play movies, the tv installed a corrupted read only folder on my internal storage, not sd card, which was the culprit, after deleting that folder with the unlocker application on pc sorted the problem out. Thanks everyone for helping.
Backup entire sd card (internal + external) to pc then in cwm format sd card internal+external and restore files back

Before you do anything could you post a screenshot of your settings->storage->Device Memory, I just need to confirm whether it's a bug or something.

It may be a bug i am not sure, I can create folders and do cut paste actions. I also just now restored a nandroid backup of previous rom which was working fine, but the problem still persists.
I guess i will have to do a clean install of a rom again from scratch? any other possible precautions to take before i start this process? thanks

Use a nuke script perform a complete wipe data/cache/dalvik, restore rom.
Edit : The precautions are the usual things which you did when you flashed neatrom. You will have to backup everything in a computer though . After the wipe just mount the sd card via recovery and copy your backup back.

It could possibly be the problem, if the device drivers got corrupted due to that usually a reflash could solve the problem, try flashing with several different roms and kernels if this ain't anything at hardware level it should get fixed.

any help? please!
anyone with any ideas?
contacted WhatsApp support but they still have not gotten back to me...

Wipe caches to resove this issue for future
OR
Check for WhatsApp directories in your sdcards (int and ext both )
There should be only one directory and if you find more than one then delete one from them that is unnecessary
For example, if your whatsapp is installed in internal sd card then app directory should be in int sdcard only and if you find in ext sdcard also then remove it because thats unnecessary and vice versa (Remember- DONT DELETE THAT NECESSARY DIRECTORY FROM RIGHT PLACE)
And then wipe caches for whatsapp and if you are having custom recovery then wipe caches from there. and reboot.
OR
You just need to reinstall whatsapp.
Before re-installing, clear data and cache for whatsapp and uninstall
Then install install whatsapp again.
May be this will help you or you can wait for whatsapp suport as this can be a whatsapp issue.

Backup your Whatsapp conversations and media, move it to a PC, then uninstall Whatsapp and completely delete the entire whatsapp folder and then install the apk again.

okay. the photos are not corrupted. it's just that they are showing a totally different photo from what they are supposed to be.
as I scroll through my convo media history, some photos are totally replaced with a different one (yes, you can actually see the photos becoming replaced)
sorry to bump this up - but i'm gonna do a clean install on my phone soon
- any suggestions how I can fix this? :/
