Hey, running on 4.0.4 samsung based
something happened (not remember what caused it)
and suddenly my media messed up.
ringtones/ notifications do not work if I set non-system sounds
gallery is empty (photos can be seen from explorer)
camera cannot preview any saved pics (says "no items" or so)
Any ideas?
I wiped cache, dalvik cache, photo cache, thumbnails,
wiped media data from titanium backup... nothing helped
PS quickpic works, the stock apps not
Maybe there is "no media" files in media/dcim folders.
If so delete them and see if that cures it.

I have searched, without result, for an answer. I am hopeful someone here will be able to give some guidance.
A whle back, I took a screenshot of one of my homescreens, using shootme. Then uninstalled, as I learned how to do it using the SDK and adb. I now have an album within my gallery named screenshots. It contains the single screenshot I took with shootme. It is not located on my phone. I have wiped internal storage, flashed several ROMs since, and it still remains in my gallery.
After fresh install to any ROM, with or without wipe, it shows up. I have noticed that it will show up on ANY phone that I setup with my gmail credentials. I am assuming that this is stored somewhere on Google as part of a backup. I am frustrated, and have searched for how to change google backup settings, only to not find an answer.
Anybody have some insight as to how to remove this pesky pic?
Solved!!!
After some more digging around the interweb thingy, I found that it was Picasa Web Album that was storing that screenshot. I logged into my GMail account, then clicked on more, in the top left section of gmail, then clicked on photos. Sure enough there was my rogue screenshot!!! Clicked edit-> delete, and now it is gone from my vibrant!!!
what happened is when you install shoot me it creates a folder on your sdcard that it stores your screen shots in. when your phone 'wipes' to install a rom it wipes system data, not sdcard data so that folder is still on your sdcard and will continue to show up until you delete it.

It was Picasa Web, not the SD Card. Thanks for your input though.
Why the Album app shows up ANY image file also in .nomedia folders ???
it's very unconfortable... i have dozen of pics that are not pics but pieces of apps...
is there a way to set album app to show only regular folders ? (those with images and no .nomedia files)
Want this as well.
I've noticed that folders where I had a .nomedia file before upgrading to ICS are still hidden in the new album app but any new picture folders where I have created a .nomedia since upgrading to ICS still show.
I just wiped data and cache for media storage and album app and its now hidden my folders with .nomedia files but its also wiped my Walkman playlists
get quickpic
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder
and use it to hide those things (u can even use it as album)...
no need 2 wipe anything...
cheers

How to do it ? i've deleted Album data but no changes...
and i can't delete mediascanner data (button disabled)
I wiped cache and data in media storage and album (in settings\apps) then rebooted. It takes a couple of minutes for the album to scan through for pictures after rebooting.
.nomedia means that that folder will not be displayed on album.
Delete that. Nomedia but it will show you every picture and video in it.

Wipe Media Storage is not the best solution as it remove not only photo cache, but aslo music, video and etc...
I tried it and all my ringtones (default from Sonly) are not picked up/ show up in the system, and can only be found in the file explorer... somehow can't get it to rescan the ringtones again.
I've installed Honami rom for Xperia U and it includes the newest album app. and .nomedia file doesn't work again, even after wipe cache and reboot. It's work with other apps, such as Cymera or Quickpic. May you help me how to hide it?
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 all,
I have this game in my N4 but i want reset the game...
I tried uninstall of course and clean SD files but when a reinstall, my savegame is there again
I think that is a file in "system" because when I wipe and update phone... I lost game progress so is inside phone, but where?
Thank all
Just press the Clear data button

Thx but how i said before... uninstall and clean data don't work
I used SD Maid too and clean broken files but city dont remove...
EDIT
I think that game add files in some folder inside system partition and don't delete when you uninstall...
if u are rooted, uninstall, clear cache, dalvik cache, delete this folder " com.ea.game.simpsons4_row" if present in data/data folder. search for game data saved in sd card manually and delete them. then reinstall
there may be a chance that your game progress is saved in a server.

I'm root so no problem, I'll try it
And progress isn't in server because I have this game in my N4 and my N10 and when I did wipes with new update, progress deleted without problem and I started again (titanium don't backup savegame :s)
EDIT
I haven't CWM... how I can do wipes?

Nothing...
I did wipes, delete all folders and files with word "simpsons" and savegame don't delete
And repeat, Isn't in server because with data wipe and new installation, game start again...
Hello everyone I am facing a issue in the gallery app
The images are shown blank
Wiped cache / reinstalled ROM nothing works
Deleted .thumbnails in sdcard/dcim but didn't worked
Installed other gallery apps but still no luck
After clearing the data of gallery app the images start to appear but once I go back then it starts again
See the screenshot
Try this.
Goto apps and clear data for 'media storage'
Then reboot(might take more than one reboot).Your data should re-appear
Remember, you will need to set your ringtone again.
If that doesn't work, then most probably there is a corrupted image/media file. Or an issue with your sdcard
