UPDATED [Xposed] [Module] [4.0+] XinternalSD [v4.8] - Xposed Framework Modules

I'm Running CYANOGENMOD 13.1. (6.0.1.)
Basically I had issues of the Moving Media to SD Nature.
Searched google for Apps or information before and found ways for Previous Devices to Fix those Media Moving to SD issues.
Now, I've Searched Google for a SD Fix for my Device (LG Volt), no such luck until I ran across XINTERNALSD Thats been said to Somewhat Fix these SD issues or at least Find a Method at most to be compatible with SD.
I've ticked all the options for it to allow access to SD card. It works (Somewhat). The Folder Path is "Storage/4088-8EFD/".
I've Enabled all Apps including System apps.
The Drawback is... MX Player Doesn't read any Videos At All, Not Just that, My Music Player show Nothing at all (Unless I make a Sound Record File, Only those show up.).
I've copied music files in internal storage in every folder regarding music including the Sound Recorders folder of which the Music player will only read. I've copied music files in the ExternalSD as well (Even through Storage/4088-8EFD/).
Just in case you ask.
Yes, I've Even Set the correct Current Folder in MX Player to " Storage/4088-8EFD/"
Also (Somewhat) Having Issues when downloading anything on the Net.
I get the "Android.Process.Media Has Stopped".
From what I gather when using Titanium Backup, Scrolling to the bottom and seeing " Media" Scratched out.
I do believe it may be the Fact that I preformed a Dirty Flash...? I'm not Sure.
Long story short, I was last Running SlimKat Rom 4.4.4.
LG Volt Devices have Crappy 1GB RAM.
I use to play PokémonGo until they Stopped Rooted users From Playing.
But inorder to play the game without glitches or Hanging, I disabled and/or Titanium Backup Disabled Apps AND System Apps Like The System App Media.Process Not sure if thats exactly The System Apps Package Name.
Thus I don't believe I re-enabled the Media System Package App BEFORE Flashing to CyanogenMod 13.1.
I'm In Dire Need of Help for I haven't Crossed any Forums that were remotely helpful to me..
I'll Try and Attach all my ScreenShots if it Helps.

Samsung Music Player Duplicates

So I have been having duplicate song issues. It seemed to happen when I moved around my files. My music player list will show like 2 or 3 albums, but only one will play. The other one or two entire albums will give an error saying 'This file does not exist.' I see that 'Media scanner running' info on the status bar but it never fixes this issue. Anyone else have this problem or a fix?
If it matters this has happened both on internal and external memory.
Thanks.
Nope, never had this problem. Try to remove all music files and see if the player shows anything. If not, then add the ones that were showing duplicates and see if it happens again.
I am having the same issue but i normally use double twist
Delete your cache in Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, Music.
Also, delete the /sdcard/albumthumbs folder.
Reboot and it should rebuild your song list.
I had tried deleting cache before but didn't see it. I didn't realize there were multiple sorting options on this phone, whoops. The 'delete cache' was dark and would not let me click it, but I tried deleting data and the albumthumbs but it still didn't work. I am just going to try erasing it all and re-adding the music and not moving it around again... Thanks for the help though!
Did you find your fix? I had to leave everything out of a folder on the sdcard to stop this annoyance.
I hope this helps
If you are rooted I would recomend purchasing the full version of the app "SD Maid" from the market.
I had an issue from doubletwist that was resulting in duplicate music files.
I'm pretty sure that the reason it happens is; when we are syncing music (possibly alot at once) most programs recognize the 16g internal storage as possibly a indipendent device. This could be because of the potential to swap out your sd card to share music but on second though probably not.
its probably just a random error.
If you are unrooted or otherwise unable to use sd maid (id recomend rooting and flashing a custom rom but if thats not what you want to do then get the free astro file manager from the market and you should see in your home directory a file called music or it could within another file titled media. Regardless where you want it to be is on your external sd card.
you can delete the directory titled music but first check the file titled external media.
You should see all of your music there as well.
I have played with the settings on doubletwist as well as spotify and this is the best solution.
(If you use sd maid then go into duplicates and very very very patiently select all of the boxes it lets you and then just hit the delete duplicates up top)

Problems with music on AOKP (media scanner issue maybe?)

Hey guys, I've been having a maddening problem with music stored on my external SD card and hopefully someone can help figure this out:
I'm running AOKP, and have all of my music stored on a 16GB external SD card. The problem I've been having is that whenever I open up the phone (generally to switch SIM cards as I'm living overseas and use several different cell companies) the media storage gets all messed up.
I used to be using Google Play Music, and whenever I'd do a SIM swap I could no longer play music. I'd get an error saying "could not play the requested track" on all of my music files.
Figuring GPM just sucks, I switched to WinAmp. Well, the same thing kinda happens. Now, when I do a SIM swap, all of my music tracks get listed twice. One version of the track won't play, the other one will.
Basically what it seems like is that every time I change the SIM card, the media scanner is re-running. Except that it doesn't realize that the files haven't changed, so it re-indexes everything. But this causes music apps to go haywire.
I used to do a data wipe on the Media Storage app, which would clear everything out on Google Play Music (haven't done it yet when using WinAmp). But eventually the problem would crop up again.
To be clear, I recently did a full wipe and installed a fresh version of AOKP. Unfortunately after swapping SIM cards just once the problem reappeared, and TBH I shouldn't have to do a clear data on Media Storage every time I swap the darn SIM card.
I used the phone overseas about 6 months ago when I was still running stock 2.3.6 from AT&T, and never had issues with media storage. Is this an issue using non-Samsung ROMs, or is it an ICS issue in general, or is something else at work here? It's a bit maddening that something as simple as using my phone to play music has become such an ordeal, and I'd like to find a permanent solution to this without having to constantly do data wipes.
Thanks
Anyone? I realize probably the majority of people here are using their i777 on ATT and probably don't open the phone much, but this is a pretty maddening problem to not be able to store my music on the external SD card without the phone going crazy after every time I open it up. I may try going back to a Samsung ROM and see if it's just an AOSP thing, but I'd really prefer to stay on AOKP if possible...

I have this too. Would like to know a solution!

This probably isn't the solution you're looking for, but I'm pretty sure PowerAmp uses its own media scanner, so that should mitigate the problem. See if that helps. As for listing twice, that's usually because there's a symlink somewhere; for me it's usually /emmc and /mnt/emmc, so it's listing twice.
Thanks for the tip, if I decide to stick with AOKP I'll probably give PowerAmp a try I'm actually wondering if the Samsung music player works the same way and has its own media scanner; that would likely explain why I don't remember ever having a music issue when I was running Samsung-based ROMs.
Regarding the symlinks, how would I know if that's the real issue? I do have both /emmc and /mnt/emmc, and I also have /sdcard/external_sd. How could the problem be fixed if that's what's going on?

Just a few points, I'm on AOKP and always stored music on the external uSD card and I never have any problem with any sort of players such Apollo, MortPlayer, VLC, GMP, ..... Am I a lucky one? Could be.
Honestly, I've seen this kind of reports already, in this room, maybe in the AOKP thread, can't remember on which page but you search from there. I'm sure there should be the answer.
I don't know about other TW-based ROMs behavior. If you don't get any feedback from users, you can always install one and try it out and see what happens.
Okay, so after a bit of searching I'm (maybe) convinced that it's a symlink issue. My hope is that the problem was that I still had /sdcard/external_sd from running Samsung-based ROMs, and that the media scanner was getting confused between that and /emmc.
Still have one question, however - there are two versions each of the sdcard and emmc folders:
/emmc
/mnt/emmc
/sdcard
/mnt/sdcard
Should each folder exist twice? If not, which ones shouldn't be there, and are they safe to delete? I've tried figuring out what the default mount points are for AOKP, but some people say /emmc and some say /mnt/emmc.
I've deleted /sdcard/external_sd so I'm going to try putting my card back in and seeing if there are still problems. But in the meantime, knowing if both versions of the emmc and sdcard folders should be there would be great

Yes, that's what a symlink is; both paths are the same thing.
Sent from my Galaxy S2
I understand that both folders link to the same place; the question is, are both of the folders necessary? In other words, if /mnt/emmc is deleted, will the external SD card still be able to be read from /emmc (or vice versa)? Or will it make things go haywire?
My hope is that the duplicate music files I was seeing in WinAmp were because /emmc and /sdcard/external_sd were both on the phone. But if that isn't the case, and even after deleting external_sd I'm still getting duplicates and music playing isn't working properly, then I'd think the only remaining issue is because the phone has both /emmc and /mnt/emmc and the media scanner is seeing them as separate entities.
So yeah, mostly I just want to know if AOKP needs both /emmc and /mnt/emmc to function properly, or if only one of those folders is needed.
I'd be inclined to think they are both required.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue after moving my music over from internal storage to a external card. On rocket player the files would be listed twice just like what op stated and using Google play they would not be able to play in the player even if they are playable from directly opening them in astro. While my phone is the skyrocket i727, the issue is exactly the same on aokp milestone 6. I tried reformatting the card then putting back on the music yet to no avail. I'm hoping someone would know what the problem is.

I am having the same issue...
Finally able to fix this problem. Googled a bit more to find solution. Harder to find than expected but anyways this is how I did it.
Went into
setting --> apps ---> all ---> media storage
And cleared data
After I cleared data of both the music player apps I used, play music and rocket player. Somehow on milestone 6, media scanner is very stubborn and refuses to run many times even with the download of media scanner apps and restarts of the phone. Somehow I managed to get media scanner to run and finally I see my files in play music. I click on a file to ru and it starts playing. Very relieved to say the least.
Media scanner apps used were both SD rescan and rescan media. Don't know which one did the trick.
Hope this helps.

♚ Media storage issue ♚

I'm running AOKP JB Build 5, and Dagr8's Kernel.
The rom is awesome, but something is wrong with my Media Storage, ever since I ran this rom.
I am suddenly experiencing duplicates of music files, and pictures, all stored on my SD card.
I clear data on Media Storage and reboot. I then have to wait an extremely long time before my SD card finally reads, then back to normal...
But then this re-occurs!
I can't figure out why or how to permanently fix it..
Help?
Sent from my Fish Tank ₪
I have seen users with this issue, when I had double [or ghost/double files] for my pic's [no music I use pandy] it was from restore quickpic from tibu, so I just reinstalled from the Market fresh quickpic app, it fixed that, but I have to from time to time backup my storage and just do a complete format, then put my files back on, I did upgrade to a better quality ext SD and did a fresh format of that and copied my files back on, no issues since then...
A side note, I had these issues going from ICS to Jbean, but since I did the above no issues on this, just my experience.
While I can't confirm this, I do suspect that the issue is caused by duplicate media storage events occurring within the rom.
This can be accomplished a number of ways, but I also suspect that it's an APK compatibility issue.
And depending on the roms used, will manifest itself when more than 1 app stores data, while the second APK will duplicate the data save function.
Check the rom carefully for more than 1 app performing the same function, such as a camera app or music app.
These APK's often have an auto save/restore feature, but save the files under a different file name and basically duplicate the save in 2 places.
Also, apps that auto backup will often save duplicate copies in different locations, by mistake, as they are not always compatible with every build.
Again, it's really a trial and error situation, as so many variables exist, and many apps share duplicated function without registration of a force close event.
I hope in some small way this may help you find the rogue apps.....g

[Q] Galaxy S3 w/ Kit Kat - Unable to Play MP3's

Hi guys,
I was previously using a Galaxy Nexus but exchanged it for an S3. The main deciding factor was because the S3 has support for SD cards. I have a lot of music, and I wanted to benefit from more storage than the Galaxy Nexus had built in.
I immediately had trouble copying data to my SD card, but after some google searching I figured out how to get Bit Torrent Sync to sync music to my phone from my computer. It was just a matter of naming the folders a certain way. I also synced my picture collection to my SD card as well. That worked fine too.
However, my favorite music player (Player Pro) and my favorite picture viewer (Quick Pic) cannot see media on my SD card. Player Pro cannot see any MP3's and Quick Pic cannot see any pictures. I've been Googling for a couple of days, and I'm getting more frustrated. I find countless topics about how to write data to an SD card, but I can't find any good topics on how to READ data stored on an SD card. Both apps can't see a thing. I even tried Google Play Music (which I loathe and don't like using) and it can't see any of my music files on my SD card either.
It's almost as if the SD card is locked from reading. I read a lot of forum posts all over the Internet talking about being unable to write, but nothing about being unable to read.
Is there some magic to get these apps to see media on the SD card?

Download any file manager from Playstore. I like "Es File Explorer". It's free and very good. And see manually if the MP3's are in the directory where you want them to be. :angel:

Are they in MP3 format?
Well, I don't even understand. Try to tap on them and start through ES File Explorer manually. They should start playing.
What kind of SD card? What format is it in? If you go into Settings / Storage - does it display your SD card there? If you plug the phone back to the PC, can you play MP3s and see your pictures through the computers media players?
Thanks for your reply. Yes, MP3 format and yes, they do start playing if I tap individual files. It's just that apps can't find media on the sd card. I've read that kit kat changed the way apps access sd cards, so I'm wondering if that's why I'm having problems?

If you are rooted, then that is an easy fix.
The other way to test this is to use the built in Music player from Samsung. If it reads all the MP3s, then it's probably the SD card issue.

The stock music player doesn't see music either. I thought about rooting my phone, but it seems like all the instructions are for Windows. I don't have a Windows computer, I'm all Linux (even at work). I'd rather not install Windows just to root my phone if I don't have to.

Thank you so much! The issue is now solved!
Here is what the problem was. Kit Kat prevents apps from not only writing to sd cards, but reading from them as well. Each app can only read and write to their own specific folder on the sd card. In my case, I was using Bit Torrent Sync to handle syncing music from my PC to my phone (as I always have) and in order to get Bit Torrent Sync to work, I had to set it up in the following folder on the sd card:
Android/data/com.bittorrent.sync/music
The problem was, that Kit Kat prevented all my media apps from scanning that folder, since it enforces it to belong to Bit Torrent Sync, and will not allow another app to even touch it. I have no idea why ES File Explorer was able to open it and play music from within that folder. Perhaps it bypasses Kit Kat's restriction somehow.
So, I used towelroot as mentioned above and installed SuperSU, then, I downloaded and installed the sdcard fix from the play store and ran it.
After running the sd card fix, it said it enabled normal sd card usage. But it STILL didn't work. But after rebooting my phone, all my media apps (including Player Pro) immediately started seeing my media and everything seems to be back to normal!
If Google patches Android to prevent this fix from working in the future, I am officially done with this platform. There's no excuse for someone to have to go to this extreme just to get something as simple MP3's seen by a music playing app. I can understand the security improvement of this, but they shouldn't be preventing normal usage of a device.
Thanks so much, I appreciate the help! I hope my steps above helps someone else.

[Q] Apps can't find my media (most of the time)

Device:
ZTE Grand X (Bell Version) - Model Z933
Android 4.3
Kernel 3.4.0+
No root, stock everything.
I recently bought this ZTE Z933, and I've had some photos, videos, and music stored on the phone's storage for a while, and it worked fine.
Just in the past couple weeks, I put more videos, photos, and music onto an SD Card (4GB, FAT32) and put it into the phone, and now very often (almost daily) all of my picture browsing apps and music playing apps suddenly (and temporarily) are not able to detect ANY media on both the SD card and my phone's storage. But, if I browse my media through ASTRO or any other file manager, all the files are there and they work perfectly fine.
Rebooting the phone does nothing to fix this issue, and neither does accessing the storage through USB or unmounting and mounting the SD Card. For a while, the only fix I found was sometimes if I opened up one of my photos through ASTRO, and then closed it, about half the time it would temporarily fix the issue.
After a bit of searching, I found some threads on different sites about restarting the Media Scanner service (or something along that line) in Settings > Apps. I do not have this, but instead what I do have under Apps > Running > Cached, I have something called "Media", which, when I stop it and restart the phone, fixes the issue temporarily, but it works every time. The annoying thing about this is having to reboot, and losing all my ringtone and notification tone settings, and my playlists every time this happens.
Can anyone give me info on things to try? Or does anyone know of an app that will get me around this issue? (the phone has been reset pretty recently so I don't think that would solve it)
Any help would be very appreciated!
Hey how's it going? I to picked up one of these nice little phones and have yet to find anything as far as development on it, i.e root or any roms and ZTEusa has nothing on this phone. Every time I google it it shows another phone.
Its a great phone large screen and has quad core, if enough people post a wanted new thread on the request a thread forum we can get some help. There is a boot loader its just can anyone get root threw it. Also someone needs to try all of the towel root modstrings which are a lot and you might get it rooted. I really enjoy mine have had no problems with media, might be your sdcard is it an old one or a new one what class is it class10?
http://www.xda-developers.com/users-beware-zte-root-backdoor-found/
I just picked up this phone too.
Seems like root acess is simply password controled..
Maybe ztex1609523?
Anyone wanna jam that into an installer?
