[Q] JB Rom help? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all...I have been flashing for about a year now and I need help finding a JB Rom that works correctly. I have tried a few different ones, and most won't show my pictures or music even after I followed the guides to fix these issues. So I flashed Miui JB latest Rom and its real nice, but no BLN?? So, which JB Rom is stable for you with working GPS, mms, and shows no issue with music or picture files...AND has working BLN? If I could just find a kernel that would work with the MIUI JB rom to enable BLN I would be golden...alas, I can't find one and Devil won't work. Thanks guys!

I've been on AOKP 9-20 with Devil 1.5.2 with almost no issues. The only problem I was having was a few force-closes while using the camera, although after a few reboots it seems to have gone away. I plan to flash the new AOKP build 3 later on, which people are having great results with. I was on CM10 for a long time before this and everything was working perfectly, but I came back to AOKP mainly because Devil didn't work that great with CM10 and I missed blinking notifications and better performance options.
tl;dr AOKP or CM10 are both great

Hey thanks for responding! You haven't had issues with losing pictures or music files?? They are on the sdcard but no music player can see them...same as pictures, although QuickPic seems able to pull them up...I flashed the latest CM10 nightly, no music no pics...went back to stock and worked up to AOKP nightly, same issue! Got mad and flashed Miui JB and poof everything showed! Weird! I followed some of the guides I found through search for how to fix the issue but nothing worked...no problems with this for you though??
EDIT: I clean flashed AOKP build 3 and NO music or pictures!!! Going to flash the Devil and see if that makes any difference.

Yeah I've have no issues with pictures or music on any rom I've tried, however I'm no longer using the sd card that came with the phone. I had an issue mounting the sd card when I originally started flashing my phone (I had zero issues with the card before that time) and decided right away to buy a better sd card before flashing anything else. I ended up getting a 32GB class 10 which has been flawless. So basically the only thing I could think might be going on might be related to the sd card failing, especially if you're still using the junky one they give you with the phone initially.

I have the same sdcard I don't know, it's all over Google and XDA about this bug...I just feel like the only person on a fascinate that has it! Thanks for giving me some input tho!

If I were in your spot I'd probably try a different sd card if you have one available to try, or backup all contents of your sd card to your PC, format the sd card, and then transfer everything back.

LOL I tried that too. I honestly did everything I could think of or every tweak I found...that's why I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a JB rom that did not have this issue. It's cool though, I started using Google Music...transferred my music onto my pc and uploaded to Google music site. Then every time I update AOKP, I just will get the app and it will download the music to my cell. Not a perfect solution but it's tolerable! As far as pix, as long as I use Quick Pic they show up just fine. Of course I have to use a third party camera app since the AOKP camera won't work since gallery isn't. Thanks for any help!

I remember there being an issue with rom manager creating a .nomedia 'hidden' file:::: here is from a post of what I did to fix that issue::
Yep I was having this issue too,,, yesterday I had tried clearing the gallery cache and data,,, today I 1st tried clearing the media storage cache and data,,, hoping maybe just possibly that would help ... but it didn't... Also Tried both of my SD Rescan widgets, but neither worked ... so I uninstalled the ROM manager update which took me from 5.0.1.5 and asked me if I wanted:: " to replace this app with the factory version " which I clicked ""OK"" and that put it back to version 5.0.1.1 ,,,
then I cleared :: media storage,,, gallery,,, and Apollo :: cache and data ,,, and rebooted .... wallaha!!! gallery shows properly!!... THANKS everyone ,,,
,,,may have been slightly overkill but I what the heck,, just in case gallery and Apollo had anything hanging around ...

Now you were saying that when you flashed MUIU everything worked? I wonder if you could pull the Camera.apk from that rom and install it on AOKP to see if it'll work

I'm having the exact same issue.

Same issue here, happened a couple of cm10 nightlies ago. Never had a problem before, there were no reports of it happening to others but only a few of my pictures loaded, no music was recognized, neither were my custom ringtones, or videos. ODINed back to stock and it carried back to that... no idea how to fix it... although I think it is an sd card issue, the phone just isn't recognizing there being media on the card or only partially. Namely because if I pull the ringtone from sd and place in the ringtone folder in /system they appear. Tried just about everything, specially after hearing about the Rom Manager issue with .nomedia's being placed were it shouldn't have.
Other things I've noticed is that, an app like Root Explorer can access my sd and recognize the files inside to which I can select and use, but even after opening the picture/song/video they still don't show up in their respective apps. Also note, I have reformatted my sd card and ODINed back to stock to start over with no luck in either. I've since installed Rom Manager with no luck either.

Hmm I wonder? But how would that have any effect on the music part of it? Honestly I can live without the stock camera and gallery, its the fact that all my music is missing is the worst part...

Does MUIU have it's own music player? I never used it, so I don't know. If it does, take the apk from the rom and put it on AOKP to see if your music shows up. I wonder if this is just a glitch that hasn't been addressed simply because not that many people have encountered it. Perhaps this is a big enough issue to be posted in the general Q&A forums? Maybe that way you'll get more views and possibly better answers from people on other devices that may have got this bug.

I believe JB puts something on the sd card so ics and below won't show all of the media. I went back to JB and everything shows up fine.

Yup, that's exactly how mine is...I can see the files on root explorer or if I usb to pc but no matter what app I use to play music it says no music found on sdcard. I've used rescan app, moved onto pc and then formatted sd, blah blah. Nothing works. Oh well, it isn't enough to make me leave AOKP...I just work around it and wait for a fix I tried cm10 nightly, cm10 8/19, and a few others...same issue. Also if I use an mp3 downloader it will complete the download but when I try to play the song, it's NOT found! Crazy. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

using steves sept 27 build of aokp with devil 1.6 is my favorite and daily driver right now. only issue thats a serious problem is if you turn it on while its off and plugged in charging, it has a SOD or completely dies when i lock the screen. simple fix, turn on, as soon as you see samsung logo plug it in. this also fixes having no soft keys if you get that every now and then. no issues with with the gallery, camera, music or anything. i always odin back to GB stock and then go forward with THS build 2 of ics, then JB, then google apps and boot, restart to recovery then flash the kernel. im seriously impressed with this build

can you actually access and open the files if you mount the sd card in your computer? dont quote me but im betting on the sd card being near the end of its life

You think? Its just weird since if i flash anything else recent JB it all shows up fine...it started when i went from cm10 8/19 build (from rootzwiki) to the cm10 nightlies on the cyanogen site...and persists if i go back to stock and flash up to aokp JB or JB whatever. Then as soon as i flash the newest jb miui --whomp there it is! Strangest issue ever.

It could be a coincidence but it wouldn't hurt to try swapping SD cards if you have another laying around. They're also dirt cheap on amazon now too

Did you try this? Found it doing some google searching
The Internet said:
This trick didn't work for me. So, I did what the system should have done with the .nomedia file present. I moved all of my photos to a hidden folder (with a . before the name) and removed the DCIM folder. Then, I looked for all instances of the .nomedia file (Root Explorer helped) and deleted them. Rebooted the phone. Started Gallery. Waited for 10 minutes. Voila! Gallery showed every little image file that was on /sdcard. To remove the files that I didn't want to see, I copied the .nomedia file from a random system folder and pasted it into all the folders that I didn't want indexed. Strangely though, moving even one of the original /sdcard/DCIM/Camera files from the hidden folder into the current Camera folder took Gallery down. Stranger that this also made the Internal Storage show a blank window when I connected the phone to my laptop. Almost positive that this has to do with JellyBean creating a /storage/sdcard0 folder that's linked to the older /sdcard folder. Looking it up and will post updates if I find any.
Update: The same trick works for Paranoid Android's JellyBean ROMs (even the latest 2.13) for the Galaxy Nexus. Something to do with the DCIM folder and how it is handled by Media Storage. A Linux-geek friend of mine confirms this has to do with the /sdcard0 symlinking. Although, why we need something like that is beyond my limited knowledge of the OS.

Yes a root explorer and look for all those hidden .nomedia files and delete those ,,, and copy over an alternate .nomedia that was not associated with the sd card,,, that was one of them tricks :thumbup:

Official HC on Flyer doesn't find music on SD Card

I've recently installed the official OTA HC Update on my BB 16G WiFi Flyer and noticed that the stock Music App (and any other Music App for that matter) doesn't find any of my music off of the MicroSD Card. Is anyone else having this issue and if so, has anyone found a fix?

Thanks. I did reboot and wait to no avail. In addition, I removed and re-inserted the card. I also copied my music files to the internal storage but still nothing. When the stock music app searches for files, I get a forced close message: "android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly".
I also found the the Gallary App doesn't see any photos stored on the card but when I take new photos with the camera, they do show up. This is strange. Maybe I will format the microSD card and copy the files over again via a USB connection to the Flyer.

I have tried reformating the card, rebooting and turning off fastboot. I am out of ideas. I think it is time to try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, I guess it is back to GB.
Did an install of a new Rom last night. Had this problem. Rebooted, still not working. Installed power amp. Could see my music with that app. About an hour later, my stock music found my music. Don't think this is a real fix but sharing my recent experience

I've tried that, but no luck. A get a message that "the existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".
I am at my wits end. I think it is time to roll back to GB.

Well, I am relatively sure the problem is with HTC's Wifi OTA HC Upgrade. I rolled back to GB and low-and-behold, my sd card music is there as are my photos and videos. I decided to try one more time and ran the OTA Update again...same story, Music and Gallery doesn't find any of my files.
So, one more time...back to GB and that is where I'll stay for now.
try installing a different player ... or leave ur music app running in backgroung for some time hope this might work.... if ur sd is class 4 or less it takes time to find music

PowerAmp does work but there is still the photo and video issue. I let the stock Music app run overnight and it still doesn't work. I also tried 3 different SD cards (class 4, 6 and 10)...no luck. Already back to GB where everything works as it should.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry for the noob question, but the Flyer is my first Android device. Is a roll back only accomplished with a full on ROM flash and subsequent reinstall of apps, etc? Or are you somehow doing an in place roll back similar to the OTA in place upgrades?

Official HC on Flyer does't find music on SD Card
Hi,
Try to clear the cache of the Music App. and the Gallery. At least this worked for me, within no time all my files showed up again
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.....

I really appreciate the last two suggestions. I just don't think I want to go through getting all my apps and data back if I need to roll back again. Maybe someone else that has gone through with the OTA update and has the same problem can try these out.
There is need to roll back or anything like that to use the last 2 options. Just create an empty folder, named .nomedia in the folders where the files are that don't show up in your mediaplayers.You can do this using ES File Explorer ( for free in the Market) or you can hook up your Flyer to your PC, and create the .nomedia files there. Then just reboot...

Is my Samsung GS 2 been hacked?

First time happened was back in about a month ago. One day I noticed some of my pictures were gone ( may be 15 to 20 of them ) I could not find them in any where such as SD card internal/external the strange thing was some pictures still there until today so the defective SD card is ruled out and I was still using the stock firmware 2.3.3 then I also noticed there are other pictures ( almost 100 of them ) not actual pictures they just blank but all with different file names like: My piano, A day in Hollywood etc, etc.
No body has been messing up my phones because it stays with me at all times. The question is who deleted my pictures and put a bunch of files back? Could it be happened remotely like some one using Bluetooth to mess around if the person is happened to be near by? later on I upgraded my phone to 2.3.4 through KIES and hope it will help me to solve the mystery but it did not. By now I know those pictures are long gone...
Two or three days later I upgraded my phone to 2.3.5 until I found the official FW XWKL1 here in XDA, again, upgraded.
So some days later I decided to change song for my ringtone I found out all of them have been replaced by some files with number names. 41203,41204 the list go on...When I use Astro to look for my songs and they are all there ( inside the music folder ) I went back & click one of the number file to see what kind of song and the player pops up a message saying the file format is not supported. It took me almost 30 min to figure out and delete all the number files under MUSIC then I see all my songs back.
My question is has my phone been hacked or infected by viruses/spyware? Or software glitch? I don't have data plan. To go online I use my home wifi all the time.
If some one can help I'll be really appreciated.
Sounds like a problem with the sd card or phone itself.

But most of the pictures and songs are still there that was why I think the problem is not in SD card other than these problems the phone is functioning good in all aspect.

Sounds like the card is corrupted. Just make a backup of everything on the card, and do a full format (not quick format) of it from your computer. That should fix it. I had a similar problem too recently. New files I transferred would get deleted and old deleted files would reappear. Maybe the file table is messed or something, I don't know, but a full format fixed it for me.
Note: Preferably use a card reader, or if you mount it as mass storage from your phone, do it from recovery if you're rooted. Otherwise just mount it as you would normally and proceed.

I had the same problem.
I had the same problem.
The solution was format SD card , after Back up some things i wanted from the card.

What's going on with the internal drive?

I have found on several occasions that the music on the "internal" drive is suddenly completely missing. Cannot explain it; obviously, can't "pull" the internal card, haven't flashed anything recently.
Anyone with a clue why this happens. I have had images periodically vanish from my EXTERNAL sdcard, too, but this seems to accompany pulling the card.
I've been switching batteries and I'm starting to wonder whether part of the internal RAM is not genuinely nonvolatile or something.
UPDATE: I believe I have figured this out, it's related to flashing a new recovery. See post #13 below.
Are you not seeing it in your music player library? Any chance you changed a setting for where it looks to see the music? I don't mean to insult you , I just ask because there was an issue before of dupes showing up in the music library and it was happening because of those settings.

I likewise would have asked that question first (Occam's razor and all that). No, I don't see it on mount to PC or in my file explorer (and I see everything else on the drive.) It's as if something went in there and wiped the directory.

some PB98IMG.zip files will erase internal memory in install.
Are you just doing a battery pull or are you actually shutting the phone down before swapping batteries? I've had hard times with SD Cards(and flash memory in general) without shutting down the phone first. I know it's an extra few seconds but it may save your information.

Good point. I'm pretty sure I haven't pulled the battery ever when the device is on (except when completely crashed, which hasn't happened in a long time). I never used to pull the battery with the power on EXCEPT that once in a great while the phone boots normally when I was trying to get it to go to bootloader and I pull it as soon as I see the splash screen. I cannot tie any data loss to doing that (this stuff vanished after I flashed a new ROM with the 4-in-1 power menu enabling reboot to bootloader, obviating the need for a battery pull altogether; and I haven't had any crashes on the new ROM/kernel, and besides, all this stuff was there after the flashing).
Do you think in that moment internal memory would be affected in such a selective way?

What he said. Installing a new kernel will cause the internal sd card to get erased, so if you are installing a ROM that requires a new kernel, that would explain the vanishing trick you are seeing.

I haven't installed a kernel yet that touched the internal sd card. And I'm on ICS right now which requires a kernel install...
Yeah, the music was there *after* I flashed my ROM and my kernel. And I always remove the .zip file so that the bootloader doesn't actually try to re-run it. The one thing I have noticed since before I rooted is that occasionally after any battery removal, something comes off the internal (and sometimes the external) memory. The only things that typically disappear though is music and/or photos, i.e. media.
I just can't figure that part out.

That's almost scary. You don't use HTC Sync do you? I'd hate to think an underlying process from Sync was doing you in.

Nope. I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to connect to PC. I actually have a spare 32gb card and a spare 16gb card and every Monday I use MS Synctoy to copy my external memory and internal memory to hard drive, thence to the external backup cards (I know, it's belt and suspenders, but it also means I never lose anything ever).
The only commonality I can come up with is the battery. Saturday I tried out my 2750 mAmp battery and kept the device off charger all day, then Sunday I switched back to my stock battery. Monday the music was there, at some point yesterday it simply wasn't (and I hadn't touched the battery).
Have had these type of issues since I got the phone. Can't quite put my finger on the cause, but since I back everything up, and since otherwise I love the thing, I'm just trying to find a pattern.
I had the exact same problem, one day, none of my music was there anymore. I finally rebooted and it was all back.

I believe I have figured it out.....when I update my recovery (as I have done every time drelisdee improves RA Vigor) it happens. I just happened to read on another thread about the CWM recovery update for the Rezound that running the PB98IMG wipes the internal memory (as somebody above in this thread suggested).
It's possible flashing kernels this way does, but clearly flashing a new recovery will mess with the internal drive.
Good to know.
Thanks everyone for helping to solve this.
By any chance did you use the make more space option in the storage card settings? Using that option support erase cache,but on the stock rom it end up erasing my pictures and music.

BINGO! Yup, I just happened to do that, thinking it would only clear cache, and that was shortly before I discovered the missing music. I am running the stock ROM, only it's deodexed so I can put mods into it. That must be the explanation.

Phone not recognising microSD card properly

Hi all,
My O1 has a problem wherein some apps recognise the files present on the SD card and some don't. I'm going to eloborate the scenario below.
Well, firstly the current ROM i'm running is the latest MIUI by Zack, which i had installed yesterday night. But prior to that i was running the stable CM7.2 with the candied kernel by DjnoXD.
While i was running the CM7, i noticed that only PowerAmp was able to detect my music present in the microSD card. Apps such as GentleAlarm, JetAudio, Fusion Music player and the default music player wasn't able to detect any music on my phone. So i assumed that the microSD card has ran it's course, since it was more than 2+ years old.
So yesterday, i bought a SanDisk Ultra 16GB class 10 card, and I installed MIUI on it, and to my disappointment, MIUI player didn't detect any music player, same result with JetAudio, Fusion and GentleAlarm. Yet somehow PowerAmp magically is able to detect the music!
Now I'm sure this problem is not because of a faulty microSD card, Kernel or the ROM.
I hope i have provided enough information, If more is needed please inform me about it.
What could be the problem? I searched a lot before making this thread.
Regards,
CD
Edit: I'm facing a lot of signal loss recently... Could this be due to a damaged hardware? I did drop the phone a couple of times
Installed ROM Manager?

I never liked Clockwork recovery or the ROM Manager, I use amonra recovery and MIUI doesn't have ROM Manager... Also i did check for the .nomedia file using root explorer, i didn't find it in the .nomedia file in the ringtones/alarm/music folders...
I feel my phone has a hardware damage as the signal keeps getting lost way too often after i dropped the phone... It wasn't a very steep fall, probably it fell on a delicate spot which i presume is located where the sd card and antenna is located(i.e., at the top of the phone)
Can this be fixed by servicing? My phone's out of warranty anyways... or do i buy another phone?
Does your sdcard work fine otherwise? Can you view pictures/documents or move apps to sd? If so, it looks like for some reason the phone is not scanning for music files and building it's music database. Why don't you try flashing another gingerbread or an ics rom to test?
Nothing is wrong with your phone. There can be many reasons for this problem.
Copy entire microsd card to your PC. Now delete all the useless folders created by so many music
players you used.. in the copied folder. Search for .nomedia in complete copied
folder.
Format your microsd card.. (fat32). Copy everything back. Done!!!
Dont do this if you dont have knowledge about which folders to keep and delete.
I recomend you to use only one music player at a time!!
> search for .nomedia files on folder and delete those.

I had deleted all the .nomedia files present... yet i had the problem. So I formatted my sd card again, created a 512 MB ext2 partition, a 64MB swap partition and the rest as FAT32 via the recovery.
I flashed the latest CM7 nightly and the default music player is able to recognise the files...
However randomly, the music apps keep scanning for media files and show 0 results... it's as if the sd card slot is loosly attached to the phone.
The signal keeps dropping often, and i'm sure it's not the network problem as i have an older nokia phone which has full signal... i mean at times, if ppl call my o1, i'm unreachable yet if the nokia is called at the same time, people are able to connect...
I suspect it's some hardware fault... Can it be fixed?

Cant be sure about your network problem. May be baseband not properly flashed.
Second.. go to network preferences and select Only Gsm or Only Wcdma. Not auto.
If you are using a2sd or link2sd.. Dont move the default music player to sd card.

I Will try the gsm/wcdma only option.
Im sure I flashed the new baseband correctly as Ive been using it for more than 8-9 months...
I'll test this for a while...
Could be a long shot, but maybe try to GENTLY clean the contacts on the SD card slot.
Sorry to hear you are still having these issues.
If I had the money for it... I would upgrade to a more powerful phone hehe. Not that it helps your current issue...

Well, I've gently pressed the sd card slot hoping it would fix the problem ... I'll test this phone for a couple of weeks, and if the problem persits, I'll give it for servicing to a known person rather than a LG service centre...
I can manage with random unmounting issue , but random/often signal losses defeats the purpose of having a phone...

Modified?

Hey all.
Right, so I have a problem.
I have a Kingston 16 GB Mixro SD Card I purchased from amazon. I recently transferred some .mkv anime fils over to it, using the USB cable and MTP mode. Worked fine, the files played flawlessly in MX Player.
Then I wanted to play them on my Note 10.1, cause of the bigger screen and front facing speakers, I thought it'd be a better experience. I setup MX Player on my Note 10.1, unmounted my SD Card from my S3 and mounted it into the Note 10.1.
The files weren't playing properly, so I unmounted it from the Note and mounted it into my S3 again. All was well. So I thought.
I went to the gallery, only to find that, instead of giving me the folder overviews like it usually did, it gave me black boxes without and folder names either! So I closed it, stopped it using the app manager within settings and I tried to open it again. No luck.
So I cleared the data of both the Gallery and Camera apps and it worked for a brief moment. And froze again. So I decided to search about and found a thread on a forum. The person had similar issues to what I had, but his device was set to unofficial, despite the fact he said he hadn't rooted it or anything. So I looked at my device status.
Lo and behold, it said unofficial, despite the fact I hadn't even installed the damned xda forum app on it, let alone use ChainFire's rooting mastery on it! The forum said that booting without an SD Card fixes this. So I did, and it worked. But I tried to put my SD Card back in, as it contains all my data, but Gallery kept freezing on me.
What the hell is going on?!?!
CONDENSED VERSION:
Wanted to.play some files from my SD on my Note 10.1, didn't play properly. Put the SD Card back in and Gallery freezes and device status is modified. Help?

does the sdcard work properly on the pc? try formatting it and put it on fat32 file system.
if i were on your place i would just do a factory reset and flash the same stock rom from odin(on both devices). that way you can isolate the problem, the sdcard.
Fixed the issues, backed up my photos, music & text messages and formatted the crap out of the card. Copied data back on, rebooted & voila, Gallery is working again and its back of 'official' status
Thanks for the advice any way Pita
