can someone please try and help me figure out my situation?
Problem: everytime i flash an AOSP based ROM, my pictures will not show up in google gallery(they show up in quickpic) and my music will not show in any music player ive tried.
Ive searched the whole file system for .nomedia files, there isnt one on the root of the storage.
can anyone help me resolve this?
Bump. I have more info, when I plug Into the computer, I can't access the ext SD card and only a handful of the folders in my phone show up like Music, Pictures...
Does this help??
Oh I have found a work around with a folder player apk...

Damn dude, sorry, but I stayed away from AOSP for several reasons, and the mixed up mount points drove me crazy. I dont think I ever got it workng 100%. Didnt really try maybe, I missed TW.

Thanks! At least I got some feed back. I ended up fixing it. But it took all day. I had to Odin back to stock, re root. Then format the phones SD card and the external SD card. Now she works beautifully!

Try formatting it on your computer. Back up your information first of course.

I've had the same issue with the stock SD card. It didn't happen until after I rooted and flashed MIUI. Can't imagine that has anything to do with it. I keep a constant back up of any new picture I take on my computer. It hasn't happened recently though. (Knock on wood)
I'm just saying it is obviously an issue, but not necessarily with YOUR sd card or the fact that its a 16gig. Weird stuff.
Haha yea I know I did flash miui to :\
I'm hoping its a bug I don't want to get another SD card to much time to put everything back in it

My media files on the external card are showing up twice. However, only one of each file actually works. The doubled music files don't play and the doubled pictures don't show anything.
I'm running infamous ics rom with venom kernel. I've searched and seen a couple comments on this but no solution. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

I get this issue every now and then
Try this, it works for me
Go to
/data/data
Find and delete folder
com.android.providers.media
(don't worry it will recreate itself when you reboot)
Reboot.
good luck

Hi
I'm sorry if someone already asked this (tried searching but didn't find the exact same question).
Is it possible to set a default storage location for all apps downliads/pictures? I know how to do it in camera and some apps have a setting option for this. But I've uninstalled many apps (wallpapers etc) simply because I'm too frustrated with transferring files manually.
For example, my instagram saves pictures to device memory and it really bothers me...
Thanks a lot!

Here's a link to the one I use. It applies on boot. Works great. Haven't had a single issue....

Thanks so much for the link. However, I'm not trying to move apps to sd card because I don't have that many apps. And I don't really want to root my device.
I want to set all app downloads to sd card. Some apps have a setting for that but some don't.
Thanks anyway!

You can use directory bind, but sorry still you needs root to use it.

What is changing to a new rom going to do for him? If his music is gone it's gone... Unless I'm missing something? Why isn't your music on your computer or somewhere else? How did you get it on your phone, lol? If it some where and you can't find it, pull everything from your storage places and put them on your PC and search both files with in your computer search index and see if you can find them... If they are there, then create a folder named /music and you will good to go. If they aren't there then get new music or however you got them there in the first place.

I guess i could do that too but i once remember i restored an backup and everything was in its place ? Its weird..
Also since i use various apps to get my music they are in different folders there js nothing inside my /music folder is this anything bad ?
I could download the music back also but takes quite a while + my lost game datas and precious images :/

I would start putting the music somehwere other then only on phone storage, just in case. I've accidentally wiped internal storage once, and I've had External sdcards go bad or just randomly out of no where lose all data in it. make a dropbox and do TiBu once a week and move them there your self with some type of file manager if you don't wanna pay the money for Titanium Backup pro. I also bet all your stuff is there you are just looking in the wrong places. What file manager are you using to look for your "lost stuff"?

list all the areas you are looking for the media... what is your recovery?
Aokp is awesome ROM. I dont mean to be rude but if you think those files are still there (in your phone) ;install different ROm or restore backup and pull al data from it. And wipe both internal and external cards. Amd install aokp and enter those files again via PC.

Got any apps that would keep using Media service? When you force stop it does it come back again?
Yeah it does but I can't figure out which app would be the cause...been monitoring with better battery stats and doesn't list a contributor. Uninstalled music hub with titanium backup and I don't use Google music...can't seem to lock down the cause.

You could try Avast Mobile Security. It has a feature called Network Meter that shows each apps MiB usage. Good luck!

What size is your sd card? I had this happen with a 32 gb one time. Switched to 16 and all has been fine. It also might be a corrupt file on the sd if it is the sd.

Yeah I've got a 32 gb, have had it in this thing since I got it when the note 2 came out...haven't had any issues until recently. I did notice when I popped it out overnight then put it back in today the media scanner went nuts for a while (the pic I attached)

this ^^^ may be your issue. a corrupt image,music,video file somewhere on your sd. a lot of ppl say to back up everything on yer sd card to a pc, and then reformat, then add back the contents. i know that stopped it for some. otherwise youll have to figure out what file is corrupted.
when i had a corrupted file, it was a picture that had about 80% of the image on it and the other 20% was just grey. (yep that was corrupted) so i deleted it..
this wonderful app also stops your 'media' process/scanner. you can disable it and enable it and it worked wonders for me in the past, but now CarbonRom has a media scanner toggle built in
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot please read description and use at your own risk.. like maybe make a nand first.
just an FYI, the service that gets very high when youre listening to lots of music is 'mediaserver' - which is not related to the 'media' process
Thanks to everyone for all of your input! You guys have been a huge help knocking this little annoyance out!!
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah sounds like you're having issues with the external SD. Mediascannerservice is what scans for media on SD cards. I've had that issue before and it was a pita! Reformatted and everything was fine till I added all my files then it returned. One of the files (a movie) was no good. It got corrupted and would still play so I never thought anything of it till I tried *watching* the whole movie one day and it cut off with an unsupported message at like 40 mins through. Once I deleted that and rebooted never had the issue again.

I'm thinking that's exactly my problem...I've reformatted it twice but still puts media scanner in overdrive. I've weeded out all the movies I'm bored with and only left a few..today it's a little better but still kept cpu awake running for ten min. Thanks for your input!
