for some reason the stock gallery app isn't picking up photos that i have in a folder called 'pictures' on my internal memory but quickpic does and same thing with music where the default player doesn't pick any music up (on external 32GB SD Card) whereas the PowerAmp does...anybody got any ideas why??
i'm on Omega V27.1 btw and latest Siyah Kernal

hi!
try going to recovery and wipe all your caches/dalvik cache first.. if that does not help, perhaps doing a factory reset would do the job (don't forget to backup!)
I hope this helps cheers!

Put a stock rom on or live with the problem .

Poweramp and QuickPic uses their own scanners to look for files, while Gallery and Music player uses Android's built in Media Scanner. Grab Terminal Emulator and run "rm /storage/sdcard0/.nomedia /storage/sdcard0/Pictures/.nomedia /storage/sdcard0/Music/.nomedia". Clear the data of Media Storage, restart or force rescanning of your media with an app like Rescan Media or SDRescan.
P.S. When coming to any forum with a problem, it's nice to list what you've already tried to fix your problem so that people don't, you know, waste their time.

The files are stored on internal storage. You don't need wipe this storage.

You can wipe sdcard storage external from rom or recovery. Usb storage is your internal sdcard.

Just go to settings/storage and check. Usb storage is your internal memory, I think.

Hey folks,
got a little problem with the latest HyDrOG3N-ICS
When I go into the camera app, a toast says "Your SD card is full" ... well and this is simply not true
I read somewhere I should format the internal SD card ... whatever that means, but I can find it in CWM.
Is there anything I have to do before or after that ... besides making a backup somewhere else than on my internal memory ?
Hey I have the same problem I cannot take photos, does anyone have a fix? Sorry I'm a massive noob, tried to search but found nothing

Install ES FILE EXPLORER and explore all of the folders in external and internal sd card, you will get to know how much space is being consumed. If its just a camera problem, switch to "ICS Camera+" app and then try.,

Sync with Google and see if they are restored.

a full wipe using recovery mode can delete my photos in /sdcard ?! wow that's new
i 'm pretty sure that "wipe data/factory reset" wipes /data and /cache partitions and it has nothing to do with /sdcard & /sdcard/external_sd
unless if have erased all ur data on internal SD using the devices settings without entering recovery .. if so , then it's impossible to get those files back .. sorry for that
anayways as a last try u can see this app :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.undelete
u can also try this PC app with ur internal and external SD cards mounted as mass storage http://www.piriform.com/recuva
i tried them both with no luck
and to be clear and more specific my photos were not on my SD Card they were on the phone

"On the phone" would mean on the internal SD card of the phone, which is not wiped when doing a factory reset for the recovery or even from settings > backup and reset. All media files should be there. You must have formatted the internal SD card as well, in which case I don't think its possible to retrieve them.

I have a 16gb external sd card, the fix is that i need to re trigger a media scan, but i need to see all apps to do so and i cannot find it in settings at all!
Install Titanium and wipe data of Media Storage. Before chech that there are no ".nomedia" in your music folders.

All apps is there, just swipe your hand to the left after the running apps
alternatively, you can use "Rescan Media Root" to retrigger the media scanner process.

If that's where all your music is, then it may also be a problem with cm9. It happened with a few devices and I know they are working to fix it

Have you tried any newer or older cm version? Perhaps this was fixed or broken in certain builds.
Hey guys!
I have a problem and I search on the internet for days but I can't find a solution of this. So I have to write it down here. I hope someone can help me with this one.
So...the story. I had ICS on my phone, but I flashed with an official JB. So it's a stock rom, all i did with it just a rooting method. So it's stock but it's rooted. My problem is that all of my audio players (stock, winamp, early poweramp) can't see my sd card. All of my other apps can see it, but non of the audio players. I had a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 before the I9100, and that one and the Samsung Galaxy I9100 with ICS could see the external SD, because when I entered in my internal SD I could see a folder named ext-sd. It was a "link" to my external sd, so I can quickly access to it. Now on JB the folder is gone. I think the solution is that I make the "link" again. It's just a guess, I am a simply user so if you guys have an idea for this issue, please tell me cause it's a real pain in my ass :-S So all I want is my audio players can read my ext SD. Waiting fo the suggestions!
Have a nice day!

In the file manager goto /mnt/extSdCard
Ok I see the folder there with my file manager, but my problem is that my audio player can't see... I just see the "sdcard0". Unfortunately this is not solve my problem. But thank you anyway

I also had similar problems when I tested out your experience,in an another device I found that in JB the Music Player is not detecting from the ext-sd card or internal sd card, the thing I did was backup all data and formatted both the memory, I think it may be related to the filesystem settings but whatever a wipe and restore saved the day.
What i did
1.Made a nandroid backup
2.Copied all data from sdcard and ext-sdcard
3.Copied everything to PC
4.Performed complete wipe
5.Restored nandroid and copied data back as it was
6.Everything aright, crisis averted.
Thank you so much! I hope it gonna works. I will check it today!

Tough luck, then maybe the issue is with the media scanner?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I, after a series of reading has found that there is in fact a media scanner error in JB which causes similar problems like Gallery not updating, music player not updating, some of these people resolved this issue by using the app rescan media root to terminate media scan at boot time, and then by manually running scanner through that app to update your Gallery/Music Player, try this procedure, there is a flashable zip to fix this for deodexed roms.
