Download unsuccessful

I'm breaking my cherry here. Long time follower, reader, but never signed up for XDA. Now I need you!
VZW Droid Incredible 2. Stock rom. Rooted. Tried to download a short artistic video from an app I got off of Snappz (not sure if the video is going to internal storage or SD.) Anyways, thing keeps saying 'download unsuccessful.' I don't care about the download anymore. It won't stop trying to download this video. I've tried a reboot, I force stopped the process that I got the artistic video from. Out of ideas. Tried searching google and XDA. No luck. How do I stop this thing?
Edit: Deleted the app that was causing the issue. Don't know why I didn't think of that first.

Try going into downloads and cancelling it? Reboot not stopping it is odd, if that doesn't work kill and clear data on the downloads app.

You could always do the usual wipe everything, reflash your ROM trick

I could reformat my hard drive and reinstall Windows every time I get some malware too but obviously that's a last resort.

Reflashing a ROM is different than formatting a hard drive , but hey if you can find a solution better than a 5 min reflash cuz I dont know what else you can do to stop the download that won't download, wish I could have been more help

Could be server issues with the app or the app itself. It possibly makes a folder with the app name or something on the SD card that it saves to.

The app says that it saves to SD/downloadmanager. The folder was empty. The app didn't have a folder I could easily identify either. Didn't even think to try uninstalling the app (slaps palm against forehead.) So I did that. We'll see.

Camera App isn't saving pictures! Awarding $10 for solution.

My camera app isn't saving anything locally whenever I take a picture. In fact, there's no gallery icon in the camera app at all that you can normally click on it to take you there.
Also, when I try to attach a photo to a message from the MMS app, Gallery crashes and photo never attaches.
Finally, when I load up Gallery manually, all it sees is my 'Screenshots' folder and a couple of screenshots that I have saved in there. There's no camera photos anywhere.
I'm running AOKP JB B2 and FrankoKernel Milestone 5
Any ideas? I've tried SD rescan already. I'm wondering if I need to reformat my internal storage. I've just noticed that my 'external storage' isn't showing up when I plug my GN into my PC as well and whenever I run SDRescan, SwiftKey starts getting angry and tells me I have no language files and I have to redownload the English dictionary again.
Finally, I'm offering $10 via PayPal to the person who can help me fix this issue. Thanks!

Is your camera folder still there?

Have you tried using an alternative camera app, to make sure the internal SD is working with photos? I suggest CameraICS, it'll be the closest other than CameraJB+, which is a paid app

Downloading now. My service is abysmal at work so it's taking a little bit.
EDIT: CameraICS has no icon for the Gallery when taking pictures. The pictures that are taken don't get saved to SD card. Trying to attach a picture to a message with it crashes CameraICS, instead of crashing Gallery as with the stock JB camera.

You might try re- downloading your ROM and re-flashing with a complete wipe

I believe this has persisted past a couple of ROM installs but I will install AOKP JB B4 when I get home tonight and see what happens.
Will update in ~3-4 hours when I get home and have time to do this. Maybe corrupted GAPPS? Is that the package with Camera / Gallery in it?

Depends on the Gapps package. Some have the Google built Gallery/Camera (with Picasa sync) others leave the source built version which has extra features such as using the power button for the shutter (but no Picasa sync).

Just finished flashing GAPPS and AOKP JB B4 from here:
http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/jb-build-4-r32
Verified the MD5 of both before flashing. And the same exact problem is persisting. Gallery crashes when attaching through MMS and camera photos end up lost in the ether, never saved to SD card.

This happened to me when I first rooted my Nexus. The camera toke the pics, but they weren't saved... plus some other weird things.
It ended being a file/folder permissions issue. It seems I did a nandroid backup restoration in a wrong way (I wanted to restore my previous data, after the mandatory wipe out of the rooting method).
Anyways... The post that gave me tips for the fix was this one (from user cmstlist):

Sometimes the file ownerships get messed up after a cycle of recovering the OS and restoring files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1515291&page=2
If you have any other directories/files that you can't modify or delete, then boot into CWM recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Also make sure that /data is mounted in the CWM mounts menu. Then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *
This fixed it for me and others.

This will require installing Samsung USB drivers along with the SDK will it not?

Drivers. You can get the platform tools without setting up the SDK attached to the OP here

Whenever I go to "choose driver to install" windows says that it has determined that it has installed the best drivers already...
EDIT: Had to load into the Bootloader, right click Android 1.0 and then choose install driver.

Fixed! Fixing the folder permission was the key. Thanks to Transcan!

[Q] Installed 4.1.2 ROM Music Now Won't Play

Complete Edit: Problem is that since I flashed my phone with AOPK's rom and that music and videos will not play. The speaker by the ear will not work during calls and the headphones aren't registering properly (maybe with the headphones). I remember when I opened doubletwist and I got a message that went along the lines of that this is a custom rom and it was missing apis (I forget if that was it or not, I might have gotten it wrong) necessary to run some apps. And I'm thinking that is the real issue.
I have tried a lot of things, please take a look through the thread to see what I've already tried and didn't work.
I'm thinking I need to flash it with a different rom OR would really like it that if someone else who has the normal HTC One V software that isn't customized or anything, if they could leave a Clockwork backup file here so I can get my phone back to what it once was.

Try a full format of the sdcard from the pc or lappy.backup all the contents and format it(the full format,not the quick one)..

Try clearing the media storage as said above.
Move any one music file to internal memory,and then see if it plays.
Maybe because its not able to read the music from the sd

Why wouldnt it let you?what does it say?
Last option in my opinion would be a factory reset and re-install the rom.

It said that it couldn't copy it to that area. I've already done a factory reset and the rom, I'm a bit wary of doing that but it might be an option.
I'll come back on tomorrow and some other days, but as of now it's almost 2:00 am here and I'm so exhausted. Good night!

Ok,try using root explorer,copy the music file,mount system as read/write and go to mnt/emmc and see if it copies there.

[Q] All media files are missing

I set an alarm on my Galaxy Nexus to wake me up this morning. And I hear a sound before my alarm rang, then I woke up. And the sound is coming from my phone. And I thought my friend changed my alarm ringtone. But when I go into the setting, the alarm ringtone is still the one I set. But how could the ringtone changed? And i freaked out. Then I goto Gallery, All photos are gone, including camera photos, Whatsapp photo, Viber photo and also Instagram. Then I go to Play Music, all songs are also gone.
Then I searched from the net, Many posts say that it is caused by ROM Manager (RM). But I dint install it at all1 before. I only unlock my bootloader and flashed my phone to yakju using the factory image from Google Developer website, because the original one I had is yakjuxw (something like that? Cant really remember the actual variant I had).
I am using File Manager to browse the files on my phone. What I have tried since this morning are, (1) Search for .nomedia and deleted all of them. (2) Then I also cleared cache and data and also forced stop the Gallery, Google Play Music and Media Storage from Setting -> Apps -> All. (3) Then I also downloaded Rescan Media. Then i use Rescan Media. Then I go to Gallery and saw 4 to 5 photos are there. But after I repeat the procedures of clearing the cache and data, force stop and rescan, the 4 to 5 photos in gallery are gone again.
I really need the photos and songs back. Can anyone out there help me? Your advanced reply is much appreciated. Thank you.

is it stock rom?
if you log in your google account before. you can find your contrat in gmail website. find your picture in google picasa.<now the called google + ablum>

Using file manager you can see your files, is that it? What about ADB? Can you list the files/folders through adb shell? I suggest you 'fastboot boot customrecovery.img' and fix permissions.

Nope. I use File Manager but I can't see the files too. The whole 'media' folder is gone. ADB? What is that? How do i 'fastboot boot customrecovery.img'? It sounds familiar. Is it part of flashing?

Gallery issue

Ok I looked around and things weren't quite matching up to the problem i'm having.
I recently rooted my S2 and flashed Revolt JB rom which I absolutely love.
But I cannot go into my gallery, when I do it loads a bit, then it freezes and my phone reboots, while every other person with the gallery issues it just goes to the home screen.
I tried removing DCIM folders from internal and SD
Tried removing the SD completely
Tried clearing cache and data on gallery app
I really really don't want to revert back to stock and unroot, so please help me with this problem.

have you tried a different gallery app, also try moving all your pictures /data/files etc anything you want backed up and then format your sd card and then transfer everything back see if it helps ?

I tried a different gallery app, but i'm going to try and remove all the data/files

I just noticed I tried removing the SD card completely, the issue isn't the sd card, so is there any data files in my internal storage I can move without there being any issues?

Actually the "gallery issue" does reboot phones.
Your sd card is out, so that's good....but you also need to transfer off your phone and delete every video and pic you have on your internal sd storage and the issue should be gone. Maybe you have a video on there that you've missed???
And you definitely are using twrp 2.6.1.0 right?
Good luck!
