Hi all,
Just moved to the S2 from a horrible Moto Razr experience, very glad and loving the community here
I'm on stock ICS and Chainfire Root and am unable to install APK's downloaded from outside the Market:
Launching the .apk file opens the permissions dialogue, but once I'm there clicking on the "Install" button just doesn't do anything. No errors, nothing.
Been looking everywhere for an answer, tried moving the apk out of the SD to internal storage, to different folder, ticked/unticked/ticket "unknown sources", unmounted/mounted again, redownloaded the APK and nothing.
Hi.. DId you try to reboot the phone? i was facing the same issue where any app i tried to install just didnt get installed. The install button was not greyed out however it acted as though it was.
I rebooted the phone and poof! the issue was gone! havent faced it again yet...
Try it and let me know!
Cheers!

Hi buddy and thanks. Tried that many times and still no go.
Might reflash ICS/Root, but would rather avoid having to do that if a simpler solution exists

May be you need to push in system/app and not install?
having same prob here... found d solution?
I had the same problem when i rooted my phone and didnt flash any custom ROM. I just installed MIUI, and poof, issue gone. You may want to flash a different ROM, or try just factory resetting your phone ?
turn off screen filter
if you're having screen filter, turn it off and see whether this helps
happened to me too, after turning it off everything worked fine

Hi,
This is a unique kinda problem (not very unique actually but only faced by couple of people) on any cm10 based rom I have tried till now.
The issue is that after I properly flash the rom (yes, I have double checked and flashed roms exactly following OP's instructions in all cases), I find that pre-existing media files (pictures,music and videos) are not getting scanned at all and added to the stock gallery/music app. if I take any picture or upload any media using MTP with the rom, its added properly.
So, I have tried all suggestions (fixing permission, full wipe, delete .nomedia etc) and still no solutions. I am sure that the issue is with mediascanner and I have monitored it and found that eventhough I manually stop and start it using "Rescan Media ROOT", after runnnig for like 20-30 secs, it just says restarting again and again.
Additionally I have also found that when connecting via MTP, eventhough the SD Card and internal memory has alot of stuffs, they are not shown. So I think issue can be with the this also.
I've grown very frustated over last few days due to this and I cannot use any of the amazing cm10 roms that we have and have to go back to my old ics rom.
PLEAZZZ HELP !!!
I also encourage all others who are facing similar issue to post here which would definately help in understanding and fixing the issue.
Thanks !!!
really man? CM10 is not even beta yet. its got bugs. deal with them or use ICS. Im on ICS still due to them.
Complaining about bugs in a build that is so far from being stable, that'll cause trouble.

If it would be a bug in the build only, then it should have affected all who are using it, why only few are getting affected.
And yes, I know its not right to complain about still in beta cm10 releases and thats why I'm not bothering any Devs for it. I have started this thread in Q&A so that guys who are facing the issue can match the different conditions/scenarios it is happening as I know its not a coincidence that its happening on some devices and not on others.

Its either s/w or h/w man.
And from what I can tell its s/w. so its on them. get logs, and send them in.
Entropy has said to set screen to stay awake while charging in dev options. Then plug your phone into charger and reboot then give it about 15 min. to scan. This is to keep media scanner from eating battery, but you could try it and see if has any effect on your issue.

I assume that this allows for a complete scan which would help. If it doesn't help then what was lost?

Yeah , my issue is completely opposite of what most guys were facing (which is supposedly been solved in latest builds). In my case, mediascanner is not running at all to scan all media.

I would do a clean install of cm10, and NOT use the root media scanner app, and then follow what entropy said (keep display on while it scans).
Also, go to manage apps and clear data on DRM, Galley, and Media storage. Reboot and then play some music through your favorite file explorer. The Media Scanner will rebuild data in about 10 minutes to half an hour (try to keep screen on if you can)

Just tried this as I'm having the same problem, no luck. My music player was working fine yesterday then it decided to forget where all the songs were.
Same problem here with Task's AOKP latest(04/9)
I didnt have any problem with the previous release... BUT:
What i already did:
1- Full wipe to flash the new aokp release.
Tibe restore the rescanMedia Root... didnt touch it.
Media not working
2- Flash again without full wipe. Media not working
searched for .nomedia files. No results.
3- Flash again with another full wipe plus system format.
Checked with no Apps installed, media scan not working.
Installed RescanMediaRoot... didnt work.
After that i quit and decided to sleep. All my work on it was with the phone pluged. I dont know why but after unpluged a few musics show up. Only 40 of 2000. No pics.
4-Full wipe + chache format + System format + flash the previous AOKP release. MEDIA NOT WORKING.
was working yesterday...
5- Nandroid restore to number 3.
Thats where i am now. Stuck with the problem with aparently any JB release.
PS. Any new pic shows on gallery...

I'm still facing the issue with apparently any JB build till now .. right from the first one entropy released as cm10 previes build and trust me , I tried all (well almost)
Now , from your problem it seems that once with some particular way of flashing roms, we do something that causes media scan to get corrupt..
Tell me this .. before when it was working.. have u ever tried going to gallery and then settings ?? I never got that menu on any JB release...
After making too much efforts in vain to get it right , I have resorted to the alternatives :
1. Quickpic as replacement to Gallery app.. Keep the default gallery app running for camera..
2. Poweramp full version as replacement to Music.. It has a folder rescan option under setting and searches all ur music..
3. MX video player for video playback.. However I still find few codecs doesn't support audio till now.. but it is issue with all roms for all people afaik..
Let me know if you find a solution and get it working again...
I'm on AOKP for months. Never used any other rom. Never even installed to see what happens.
So, recently Task release his JB AOKP. It is 1 week older and he released 3 or 4 builds.
The first release i did not installed, The second one was released on same day and i did a full wipe to install it from AOKP ICS.
So far everything was working good.
Then came another release, the 30/08. Installed without a full wipe, just dalvik and cache, and everything was working fine.
From the build 30/08 to the build 04/09 i did bought Tibu Pro.
So i did a full wipe to install the 04/09 and the bug show up as you can see on my previous post.
The weirdest thing is full wiping + format System + format cache + install an old AOKP(30/08) and the bug are still there.
Could be that app RescanMediaRoot? Do you have it?
what do this app do to disable the scan? If we disable and uninstall what happens?
I do have setting options on gallery but when i click it nothing happens. No setting there.
Edited:
I just checked BetterBatteryStats and it looks weird. No kernel wakelocks... not even 1.
The most interesting was the Partial wakelocks:
MediaScannerService is the number one with 12min. Its running but nothing changes.
I dont like poweramp cuz the AwesomeBeats wont work with it.

I don't think "rescan Media root' app has anything to do with it .. actually
in my case , I never had this working since the start and at that time I didn't even knew about this app.
I have also noticed the partial wakelocks and if you go to running apps , you will see media storage running when u start a music/gallery app , but nothing happens..
I did tried alot to figure the problem out and seek help from all dev's that I can from this one and i9100 forum , but no results.. So finally I made peace with the workaround I mentioned...
One thing you can try in ur case is full wipe + format system/cache/data and then install a ICS rom.. after reboot.. try any JB rom again....
Good luck !! :good:

I'l try that and repport back.
The problem with media on the external SD card I believe is directly due to the change made in the location of the external SD card card within the directory. Many apps were built for ICS and GB and so when the scan is performed, the app isn't picking up the external SD card which used to be found within the internal SD. Now if media scanner isn't finding media within the internal SD card, that is a whole different story. I have media on my internal SD card and it has worked flawlessly. If you have music on the extsd and are using poweramp you can go into setting and check the box for the extsd outside the internal SD storage and it imports fine. Oh, and I'm running the latest AOKP with the Fluxxi kernel.

I do have pics on the Camera360 folder(internal SD) and it wont show on gallery.
I'll wipe everything and flash JB without the external. But i just find out something strange.
Im on recovery right now and using the file explorer of MrRobinson aroma to test it.
looks like the external its NOT on MNT folder. There are not and MNT folder on root. The external is called Sdcard and there is an emmc folder that looks empty.
Is it right? I really dont know nothing about the folder structure.
Edited:
Second time on Aromas file manager the emmc show all files now.
I belive all this means nothing.
Not all file explorers are equal. You need a root explorer to see the folders. Your music if on the internal, should be in the Music folder following the path home/sdcard/Audio/Music. Pictures on internal should be under home/sdcard/DCIM/Camera. When the external sd card is inserted it should show up in three places. At the root of the directory,you will find it as home/extSdCard, then under home/mnt/extSdCard and finally under home/storage/sdcard1. sdcard is the internal memory. I just moved photos to my extSdCard and rebooted the phone and media scanner didn't find them and setting don't exist on the gallery so you can't direct it to the new path of the extSdCard. So, I just replicated what you have been experiencing. If you move your photos to the Camera folder following the path I listed they should show up. The only reason my music works on Poweramp is because I can go to settings and check the sdcard1 folder under storage. Man I hope you don't mind all this rambling I'm doing and I hope I'm not insulting your intelligence.
No you are not. All this is new to me.
Thanks for all the info. It helped me.
Problem is gonne here.
What I did was:
1- clear cache and dalvik
2- data/factory reset
3- format system
4- format cache
5- format data
6- format internal SD
7- installed latest AOKP+ Gapps. Task's gapps don't come with Gmusic so I installed from Justin's Aroma with 1 or 2 inverted and Apex as a system app. But I did installed the normal gapps before try the Aroma.
First boot fine. I did config WiFi and gaccount slowly.
I didn't let the screen turn off.
When I first open the Gmusic everything was there.
Then I installed Titanium backup pro and did my full restore.
Tested another player , Mixzing, and was all there.
I forgot to save any pic on external since I do have Dropbox and it send it to my PC asap. So I didn't worry about pics.
Everything is working!!!!:beer:
Thank you for all your help.

hi,
i am using CM10(20120926), and for some time i am having a problem with this process working all the time hogging cpu.
i've tried removing it from startup, but i guess that another system service runs it.
i've also tried to update to the latest version(20121014) but it also didn't help.
i've tried the .nomedia files trick and also removing the external SDcard but it doesn't help.
please help.

go settings about phone- post your rom version. The link you posted is incomplete it does not tell me what rom you posted.
I know it most be a custom rom as you had pit enabled.
Most roms do not use pit, therefore you may have to reflash the rom again to regain the missing apk or find someone who has your rom and ask them to get you a copy of the missing files.

Since you have done wipe data, you have lost all your pictures and music, any thing saved on the internal sdcard is gone. You need to reload your pictures and music if you made a back up.
Next time save them to your external sdcard so they will be there after a wipe.
Hello there.
My OnePlus 5T has got an issue today that is driving me crazy. Its storage is acting up in stupid ways.
I can browse its storage through the stock file manager and SD Maid without too many issues. However, everything else cannot access it, so it becomes impossible to save/download anything, upload anything, or even read anything (like these gallery pickers on social apps). Even the Play Store cannot update an app. I can't take screenshots either.
That OnePlus 5T is two years old and a half. I've tried removing a lot of files through SD Maid and nothing helps solving that issue. Rebooting my phone doesn't change anything either. Permissions are all good as well.
I haven't rooted my phone, however the bootloader is open.
Thanks for checking in.
It might be your File Explorer/Manager not showing the file i have that issue with Files by Google it doesn't show .img files on my sdcard and internal memory

As I pointed out in the first post, absolutely nothing shows up in Files by Google, stock Gallery app, or even Discord or Telegram. The Play Store cannot download anything, same for Google Chrome and any other apps. Somehow only the stock file explorer and SD Maid can manipulate storage without issues.
At random reboots I face the same issues too. Not sure why.

Did you manage to fix it? I've cleared the cache from the recovery menu and the problem persists, even after several reboots.

This was the first thing I checked and everything was okay. Double checked just in case and storage permissions are still granted.

Unfortunately no. I am using a Moto Z play rom and sadly rom development for my device is meager due to the unpopularity of the device. The storage permissions have been granted by me too but yet some apps completely hang and restart when I try to download in them. Browsers and all are working fine. Even download manager. It is stuffs like Edxposed which freezes when I click on download on a particular module. Same thing happens to certain other apps like image downloading apps. Storage permissions are intact. I'm on Lineage OS 16.
Another concerning issue is sometime both the inbuilt gallery app and Quickpic completely fail to recognize any images or videos. I did a clean install of the ROM too.
I can't take screenshots too (at times). I can download and upload anything with the help of solid explorer or es file manager. Camera app sometimes cannot save an image to its own storage even though permissions are intact.
Trying to download or update anything makes the Play store crash. Sometimes it updates, mostly it crashes. Things get way annoying when I'm urgently trying to download an app and play store just rage quits on me.
