The problem that causes gallery and music app to not show files

Ok, like me, a lot of you guys are probably wondering, "why in God's green earth, my gallery and music is not showing files?"
Well it is confirmed that the latest Rom manager update creates this nomedia file which prevents stock apps from viewing.
UPDATE: Clockworkmod had said that they will be releasing new update which fixed this problem! It will be soon, so just be patient
UPDATE: OK, I finally fixed the problem! It was so simple! The link to the howto is provided via Rotary Heart
This thread have a solution for it
Just follow the steps I did it and now its working fine

I haven't deleted nomedia files and uninstalled Rom manager since I just found out that now, but if there's anybody who solved the problem by doing this, feel free to post how-to

For the people that don't know they're affected.....yet. Lol.
Instructions (via erishasnobatter):
delete the file (.nomedia) from sdroot
clear media storage data
remove ROM manager
reboot

Flashing doesn't help. You should be fine with the instructions. Flashing is adding extra steps. :good:

Yeah just try it from your mobile browser maybe it will work. One of the steps is to complete the tutorial. I started it, clicked through it really quick. When I went back to the home page it showed I had 50 gb. I didn't have to do any more steps Lol. . Easy. Almost too easy..

Did you complete 5 of the steps? Takes a few minutes after but then you should get an email saying your extra space has been activated.

Should I login through the app or through add account? Either way I just get the regular prompts nothing new... can I not use my current account?

Yeah. Log in your current account on your phone after installing the. Zip. Then go online to dropbox and log in. Then follow the prompts. You'll notice nothing really different on the phone until it shows you the extra space after it syncs online.

You will have to pay or lose the space
~Samsung Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710) - Blazer ROM v1.6 - TWRP~

There was a 25 gig thing on for a while, and dropbox removed the extra space after like 1-2 weeks.

1. Uninstall all traces of DropBox
2. Flash the zip
3. Reboot your phone and log in without updating the app
4. Wait for the email titled "Get free DropBox space!".
5. Click it and then follow the steps. (If you don't get the email make sure you are looking in the email associated with your DB account)
6. Then wait for the confirmation email notifying you about the extra space added to your account.
That's basically what I did. If it's still not working they either fixed it or you're doing something wrong.

Weird data usage....

OK I was on Rootbox and out of nowhere I was showing 299gb usage in data...up from 5 yesterday... So I wiped it out and did a clean install of slim. After setup it showed me at 100gb again... I cleared the save location for the usage to start clear.... But if I use play store or browser its way off... And the math is not right either... I'll get a screen shot up.

That's not 299GB it's 2.99GB, abut 2.8GB used between May 24 and June 25.
What's the problem?

Dude it's 2.99 GB. What if it was 299 GB? I spend 50 GB every week.

Not much difference, but for me Adfree keeps the host files better on reboots.

By using this, does it makes the ads completely gone or leaves a blank page where the ads were? I've never tried any

Give me a link and I'll take a screen. I don't know which pages have prominent ads as I've been blocking them for years.
On a side note I do have to edit the hosts file occasionally to allow certain sites, as taptu and feedly won't redirect correctly for some of my feeds if they are blocked.
Edit I'll add a few sites. Obviously the ads are blocked in apps too which is the main benefit I find.

Thanks so much for this app !

Thank you. After flash new ROM, I tried to restore my backup from adfree and after install it says that my version is too old. Then I found this thread. Thanks.

You will see the update and it will prompt to install but it will fail because the OTA's are very sensitive to change. They require the exact stock rom from the latest version before kitkat i believe. Since youve removed the Zappos app, it will definitely fail. This is why majority are going back to stock just to get the kit-kat update.

Really you just need to use RSDLite to return to stock. Depending on all you have done you may need to modify the .XML file in the image, but its very easy and just uses Notepad.
