Not sure why I can not view pics in the Gallery...

I recently flashed my EVO from CM6 over to the alpha Gingerbread Rom. No issues there, love the new ROM but one thing I noticed was that anytime I scroll over to my Gallery, it says I do not have any pics or vids to view. Same issue when i go to my music app, no music. But I can open up Linda Manager or File Manager and all my pics, vids, and music is there. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I am lost!

What folder are they are in on your SD card? And when you take new pictures do they show up in the gallery or not their either? It may be that the Gallery is somehow not detecting pictures, or the old pictures are just not in a place where it can.

HELP!!
I am having this same problem with my phone. I am rooted with unrevoked 3 and now when I take a pic it will show up in my gallery until i reboot my phone then they dont. I can plug my phone up to my computer and they are in the DCMI folder on my sd card. When I unplug my phone from the computer and go back in to my phone they are not there. What would be causing this? I have not put any roms on my phone or changed any kernels.

It's probably a really odd SD card issue. Try going into settings & unmounting then mounting the sd card again. If that doesn't work it could be an issue with the media scanner. Download an app that lets you manually run the media scanner. I know Widgetsoid 2.x has a media scanner toggle. If you can't find another way, download the app & make a 1x1 toggle widget with the media scanner, apply, and tap it.
If that doesn't work, I'm stumped.

I tried that but I couldnt get the widget to actually do anything. Thank you though

I believe the sdcard is the cause, because I've had a similar issue myself and fixed it. I would suggest either re-flashing the rom, or backing up your sdcard and then formatting it, and copy it back over. Also, if you have, in particular, a folder with a lot of pictures in it, I had one with like 300+ because it was an animation, that too slowed it down.

Did you check the folders to make sure there aren't .nomedia files in them? I'm not quite sure how they would get there unless an app put them there.
Have you removed any system files? If so, you could've removed something that keeps the media scanner from running, or possibly removed the media scanner altogether.
Last idea - have you tried opening the files from the sd card to their respective apps? Open the images with the gallery & maybe they'll show up?
Last, last idea - if you're using stock apps, try downloading a third party gallery and/or music player. I use QuickPic, it's fast & caches images so if you can get them to show up in app, they should remain after a reboot.
I'm tapped out of ideas :/

Hello.
After restarting phone i can not see pictures and videos in the Gallery. it's empty. I have seen there is no .nomedia file. Then i have captured some pictures and they are appear in the Gallery but old pictures not. i can see they from file manager. how can i return my old gallery??
p.s. i have no memory card
p.s.2 my phone is Motorola Droid Razr M - android 4.4.2

EMMC, what's it good for? Can it be mounted as SDCARD?

I don't really understand the DInc's 8GB of Internal Memory, the one mounted as /mnt/emmc.
For one thing, apps can't install to it. Apps can only install to the 748MB internal memory or SDCARD.
I can't put videos there, the Gallery won't see them. Videos have to go to /mnt/sdcard. I can, however, put photos and MP3s there. However, when I run an app, like MultiLiveWallpaper, it can't see the photos in order to randomly change them unless I put them in SDCARD.
If I install a big app, like a 3D game, one that needs to phone home to download an additional 100MB or so of data, it will only download to the 748MB internal memory or SDCARD. It won't use EMMC.
So pretty much, that whole 8GB of Internal Memory seems rather worthless. I need an SD card to do anything. Is there any way I can trick android into seeing the 8GB of internal memory as an SDCARD, and then not need an SDCARD?

My pictures stored there are seen by the gallery but I'm running CM7 RC2. I had a problem a while back with the Sense Music Player not seeing my mp3's there but I just bought MixZing instead.

Yeah, the gallery in the stock ROM can see pictures stored there too, but apps can't seem to so I have to keep those in SDCARD as well. Sense music player in the stock ROM seems to have no trouble finding MP3s there. I wish I could just use that 8GB emmc as if it were an 8GB SD card. I don't have that much music on mine, so all that space pretty much goes to waste. The emmc in general, seems pretty much worthless so far as I can tell.

I think he was talking about some problem with Z roms where the internal storage can't be seen. I use it to store my ~4 GBs of music which is useful.

Yeah, storing music seems to be all it's good for. I wish there was a way to use it as an SD card. Oh well, I guess I will fill it full of music since there's not much else I can do with it. It's weird that pictures that I put there show up in the gallery, but not videos.

Now that I think of it the Stock Sense ROM could see the music but I couldn't get any artwork for it to show up. All the apps I found for downloading artwork couldn't read the internal memory only the sdcard. I've had to redo my entire music library, all 7000+ mp3s to imbed the artwork into the file to get around this. Then I went and bought a 32 GB sdcard and resized all my mp3s to fit on it and only use the internal storage to hold pictures and all my backups.

Don't know why I even thought to search for a solution for this, but I'm glad I did as I found this thread:

It worked perfectly! Now the phone thinks my internal storage is an 8GB SD card and I don't even have a need for the MicroSD card at all.

[Q] Wav file & Internal Storage issues w/Gingerbread (Stock+) rom

I recently updated my rooted Dinc to the Stock+ Gingerbread Rom (latest version). I love the ROM, but have noticed a few weird issues in regards to music/sound files.
First off, I had a lot of simpsons .wav files that I used for notifications for text messages and stuff. Once I updated to this ROM, the .wav files no longer would play. Attempting to play them in a media player results in a "this format in not playable" type message. Doesn't make sense that Gingerbread would not play as much as if not more formats than Froyo, but perhaps this is an issue with GB? I looked around the internet and couldn't find any solid info about it.
Secondly, since the internal EMMC storage pretty much goes unused on the phone, I decided I'd move all my sound files and music files into that area and save some real estate on my sd card. However, when I moved my media into the internal storage it was no longer recognized by the system. The mp3 ringtones and things wouldn't play at all. They'd show up in the list, but not play.
Any light anyone can shed on these issues would be much appreciated.

Moving Music erases ID3 Tags

Hey, I have had a problem with no matter what android phone I have. This has been doing it for quite some time but I dealt with it but last night I lost 12 GB of music so here it is:
Whenever I move music in these situations, it will erase all ID3 Tag information (Artist, Album, etc) and all it has is the file name. I had 2000 songs with artist names and all, but when moved it all became unknown artist. Here are the situations:
Galaxy S3: Moving Music from one folder to another (Like from a Download folder to my music folder on external SD). Or from moving music from internal to external or vice versa.
Optimus G: Moving music from one folder to another on the internal storage (Again, like from a download to music folder).
Evo 4G: Just moving from folder to folder.
All this is done with ES. File explorer. I tried other but they do it too. It can not be device specific because it happens on almost any android. All songs are in MP4/MP3 format and maybe some .wma.
Any help would GREATLY be appreciated. Please don't comment saying "Just use google play cloud" or anything, because I do not like cloud storage's. Thanks in advance. Really need help.
If you a file explorer that doesn't do that, what is it?

I always use Root Explorer, I've never lost anything, even when I transfer from internal to external and vice versa. I'm not a big fan of streaming from the cloud either so I can understand your frustration. Try Root Explorer.

[Q] Poweramp for Intel on ZF2?

Has anyone used the Poweramp "for Intel only" app on their ZF2?
I was pretty disappointed to discover that Android 5.0 hasn't actually fully resolved the external SD edit permissions that was promissed after the fuss around KitKat.
I transfered a load of albums onto my phone last night, storing them on the ext SD card, only to find that no album art was shown and that iTag cannot edit the tags
According to Poweramp, the app does give edit permissions to enable Mp3 tags to be edited on the ext SD card on Lollipop, but only if the sd card has a volume label.
I'm currently formatting the sd card with a volume label to see if this will work, but I was wondering if I should go for the "standard" Poweramp or the Intel version.
Any advice?

Update:
The "Intel" version of the app runs well, not sure if any better than the "standard", but Poweramp claim that it is beneficial for battery consumption and performance to use the specific app.
But the edit permission of sd card stored files is not solved. Poweramp are working on the problem. Some people have been able to get the required access permission through the app's facility, but for many, it is not working. Including me....

This issue has already been resolved by poweramp...
Go to poweramp settings.--> folder and librery -->
go to Music folder and and check the folders you want poweramp to scan...
its done!!!! enjoy...
