Changing default app cache/data folder directory? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am newbie and my English is weak so i hope you can understand me.
Well, i use iTube apk that use cache to download any video i play from youtube automatically
And the problem is there is no option to change the default videos directory folder that saved after caching ( i don't know for sure if that's the case )
I want to clone the apk so i can use two iTube app one for music and the other for educational purposes
I don't want the videos to mix
When i clone the apk the data are restored from the original app, every video i download it shows in the both of them
Is there a solution or a way around for that ?

Hello anybody there?

[Q] Facebook Image Issue

whenever I use the facebook app (the newest version from Marketplace ) , it saves every image on the phone's memory which takes up space, so my question is; How can I make it so that the images will be saved on the storage card or that the images won't be saved at all.
Good question, no answer? everybody busy looking for a solution?
may be we need to install facebook onto the storage card ? and delete every old file from ram/rom. Does it work ?
It saved the cache to the storage card and will show up in your album, which is annoying. I set the below registry value and no longer have to look at it. ClearTemp will get rid of it until you use the Facebook app again.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored]
"Temp"="\\Temp"

[Q] I need to reset mediaserver database

Hi all,
I added some music files to my external Sd card, unfortunately a couple of folders were incorrectly named... I renamed them but now both the stock player and Google Play continues to show the incorrect, old folder names as the album names, which is pretty annoying.
I am on a rooted device, I already tried to delete Google Play's database but on the next reboot it was rebuilt identical to before.
There is any manner to have mediaserver's database rebuilt from scratch? I already tryed to stop it then start it again... Nil. Have I to delete the database to have it completely rebuilt? Lol, I can't even locate it on the filesystem. Despite this I can't think any other solution to solve but I'm open to any suggestions, tia.

Try to delete the data and cache of the Stock player and Google Music and afterwards if you start those Apps it should be as if you would start them the first time, so they would check your folders for music again.

Don't think it works that way... Whose apps don't scans folders, they take all infos about media from the mediaservice server. I tried what you said with Music Player and it didn't work, I didn't even try with Google Music 'cos that app has 250Mb+ of data (!) so I suppose that' s all of my music
What puzzles me is that I found a database with the index of all my music on extSdCard, it is under /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external.db (you can view the contents with root explorer), I deleted it after a backup, reboot and... Nothing, the database was recreated exactly identical to before. It was not the right database evidently... Again.
What the hell, that mediaservice's database is well hidden!
Someone can help, please?
You can try the Rescan Media ROOT App but if that won't work I have no idea.

App's name is inviting indeed! Thanks, I'll try that. :thumbup:
Update (if someone else need it)
Android Media Tracker has issues on Samsung phones when it encounter a broken mp3 file. Solved using the app MP3Dit, which is not only an ID3Tag editor but it is capable to connect directly to the service and adjust things there also.
Five months to solve this s**t!

Oreo: force rescan of images

Hello,
I have a new phone with Android Oreo, and a SD Card containing a lot of images and music. I am facing the following problems:
1.) On the music folder, there exists album art, so I created a file called .nopics in Order to exclude this folder from being scanned. However, the image files in the different subfolders are still visible in apps like Whatsapp. How can I clear the image cache, or force all media to be rescanned? I think the com.android.providers.media system app exists no more. How is this done in Oreo?
2.) Some files on my SD card get the wrong date, not the file date, but obviously the internal (EXIF?) Date is suddenly set to the year 2038, leading to old files appearing as new in apps like Telegram or Whatsapp. The Google photos app is not affected, but all old-fashioned image pickers now show the wrong order. Any idea what may cause this, and how to fix?
Why no answer? Google should be smart enough to implement this by default now, the rescan apps on market don't work, android is such a garbage jail. gnu OS pls
