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:

I recently updated my i9300 to foxhound 0.1, which is android 4.2.2.
It works fine and all BUT sometimes when installing apps or updating them they get installed to sd card automatically!
I did some googling, without much luck though since it seems i'm the only one interested in keeping my apps on the internal storage rather than the micro sd.
I had the doubt this was either the fault of apps like
App2sd/Link2sd so i uninstalled them (i really never actually used them), but i doubt it was their making...
What happened is with this new 4.2.2 now i am able to actually move apps to sd card (while on any other rom i dont even recall being able to) and this is cool, but i don't need it. Problem is my phone WANTS to.
So how can i change the default installation directory before i choose to throw my phone against the wall?:banghead:

About what sd are you talking? Internal sd which is actually the internal memory or external sd which is your micro sd?
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
He is talking about them going to the micro SD card.
Exactly external sd. They just go there themselvesn it doesn't occur with all apps, so i'm guessing maybe the devs put some preferences in the installation properties? I think i recall reading about android devs being able to do this somewhere in their projects.....

Having problems with my sdcard....
I've moved videos to my ext sdcard and watched the free space go down and the videos are there. After a rebbot the free space is the same but the videos are not there!
The same issue happens when I delete something. After a reboot the deleted items are still there.
Bad sdcard? Or?
Thanks for the help
BTW I'm on 4.4.2 nc5 stock rooted.
Bad or corrupt is my guess. Might try formatting it in the phone or even a computer and see if the issues persist.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Yea that was my guess also I just didn't want to assume and then go through all the stuff to format and move everything back and what not.
Sounds like the same thing that happened to me. By the way the microsd might be a goner.
Well I made a back up of my sdcard and tried to format with it in my phone and it won't format.
Windows won't even format it. Any ideas? Or is it just shot?
Thanks

Hi there
I rooted my phone and also installed TWRP on my HTC and I have noticed that my phone seems to be corrupting the photos that I take, but it doesn't corrupt them immediately. It can take a few hours but they end up getting corrupted. I store my photos on my SD card and I have never had a problem with it before, the card is still relatively new.
I'm still running the stock ROM
The photos were automatically backed up so I have the original versions and I have attached them to the post with the corresponding corrupted versions that appear on my phone
What's happening? Have I made a bollocks of the phone?

That's strange. I'm probably not the one to solve the mystery but when you say sd card, you mean your external micro sd? Have you tried swapping out the sd card?
I was surprised to see an android phone couldn't rw ext 4; had to reformat fat32. But I don't get how they seem to gradually corrupt??? Are you using something like link2sd or was there a recent app you installed that preceeded this behavior?

Yeah I'm using an external SD card
I'll try swapping out the card and see if it makes a difference.
It's really weird that they're fine just after I take them and then like 2 hours later it seems that only the thumbnail is left or there's nothing at all.
When you say reformat to fat32, does that mean wipe everything off it?
I'm not using any strange apps, just the default camera app on the stock ROM
I noticed that my viber pictures were not displaying this weird behaviour so I looked and they're stored on the phone, so I changed my camera to store the pictures on my phone memory and took a few test photos. So far they have not been corrupted and seem fine. Although I think that the quality of the pictures has dropped
Seems like it might be the SD card after all

Yes. If you format it to anything even the current format, it will be wiped. Sd cards get corrupted a lot. That's your most likely culprit. Not sure if it'll fix your issues but probably the easiest thing to start with. Hope it works for you!

Just an update to anyone who might come across the same issue
Formatting the external SD card seemed to fix my problem
Every time I reboot I get a notification
that reads
San Disk SD Card
Available For Moving Images and Other Media Files
I'm on MM Rooted. Its started only after the MM update. I also notice it on my G5 and that's not rooted.
Is there any way I can stop seeing that after a reboot? Besides removing the SD Card of course...
Sorry if this has been covered. I couldn't find anything related to it.
I haven't tried myself yet as I have the same problem, but when I looked around people said that if you format the SD card in your phone it will stop
Of course if you try this be sure to back everything up first

darn, wish I knew this earlier as SD cards are slow as fsck when writing and 100GB is not gonna be fun to copy... do you know if formatting it will also change the name of the device under /storage? prior to MM my SD card was named /storage/external_SD, but with MM I obtained a new 200GB micro SD that I formatted on the computer and now shows up as 7188-CDE6.

Well hopefully won't take too long, and yeah reformatting the card should change the name of it too, but you can change it to whatever you want after - if your on Windows just right click on it when it comes up, same with phone too if you want

Use XNotifications on Xposed to create a rule that automatically dismisses the notification. Worked for me perfectly. I bought the premium app to support the dev since i found it so useful.
i have the same problem, and it seems that due to this notification/ bug all my music downloaded for offline use via spotify gets deleted. The bigger part is that I receive this notification every so often, notjust after reboot, so basically spotify is nonstop downloading all the songs, cause i guess that once you take the card out, spotifiy does not register or acknowledge its old files anymore.
ill try the formating to see if that helps, but does anyone have a different approach?
Im on unrooted MM 6.0
