I've installed the cyanogenmod beta rom on my defy. It works great, very fast and customizable... but since first boot I have randomly some problem with default gallery. Somethimes when I open the app, I get an error (sd not mounted) and it doesn't start if I don't reboot... Also if I try to use camera (after I try to open gallery) I get the same error. Rarelly default music player give me similar error. But with third part app I can access to both gallery and camera... for example with QuickPick I can view all the images on my sd and with CameraFX I can use camera without any problem...
Anyone gets this error? How I can solve? Wipe can help me? I try to format SD and to pass other images and songs but nothing changes...
sorry for my bad English and thanks to all answers
You could try to wipe the data of the gallery (not the actual pictures/videos). It's somewhere in Settings -> Apps -> Manage apps (something like this). There you can select gallery and then something like wipe data (I don't know the english translation that's used on CM7).
I uninstall gallery with a root app manager, install a 3D gallery from market... for now seems that works...
ok gallery and camera don't work, I try also to wipe only camera and gallery data, but I don't solve...
any other solution?
try to backup your SD card on computer then format your SD card
It could be an error on the SD Card - format using FAT32 system if it`s the original 2GB
I've already tried this solution but doesn't work, I use an AData Class 6 8 gb...
moreover another defy of my friends gives to him similar problem with this rom (this defy crash randomly during video recording and in gallery)
also beta6 doesn't help me
I have the exact same problem gotta reboot the phone everytime this happens anyone found a fix yet thanks
The sd card error lies with the 3d gallery. Use titanium backup to remove it and use quickpic - a far better app anyway.

Hi plzz help me tried 3 days but nothing wrks.tried format my sd still media server eats my battery 35 to 50 percent n keep the device awake..what to do any software plzz appreciated...
Is your Phone rooted?
if yes--- Try Installing Greenify...
Open Greenify--- Add Apps - Select the desired app & then when the app throws a message like can't freeze hibernate system app - Click on insist!
I think titanium backup has freeze app option too.
Also try All in one tool kit...
You could easily disable startup apps...
But you'll need root!
Well tried greenify still same yes m rooted...what to do now

install dev igio90 app "android tweaker" from play store..open app and go to battery and disable media scanner
Doent work next software plzz
Well from my experience you are on a stock rom but rooted ?
If yes try to downlod this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot
And disable the media scanner if the problem gone you can use it, but each photo or media file you download you need to enable the scanner again to appear in the gallery etc
But if you want something better download android revolution hd rom stock based but smoother and fasterand since 5 months i didn't notice any battery drain at all

I m hving problem in only specific rom version not in all rom.and none of above software works.and this is my fav software version thats y needed to handle media server any help regarda
The MediaServer jumps to the top of the usage, when music is constantly being played, or the scanner gets stuck with a certain file. Make sure all the files have proper tagging, filenames and aren't corrupt to begin with. This can include pictures, music, videos, and such. Corrupt pictures cause huge issues. I usually backup all my files from the SD Card on my desktop, and then format ( external SD ) or just delete all the files, use ForeverGone ( SD Card Cleaner ) and then restore the files.
Have you tried autorun
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun
Of This doesn't help you might have to flash some other rom...

Hi! I mod google edition camera for s iii mini to saving photos/videos to memory card. There isn't option in menu, it saves files automatically to memory card. It looks, that it works just good, but need more tests
Bug:
- can't access gallery directly from camera app (it will open, but it will not show any pictures)
Download and flash in CWM.
Code:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/aG1W4tYg/gecupdate.html
Also maybe do you know how to mute the camera?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I try to mute camera sound by editing apk, but without success. But for this exist really easy solution. With some file explorer navigate to system/media/audio/ui, locate "Cam_Start.ogg", "Cam_Stop.ogg" and "Shutter.ogg" files and rename they or delete. This will permanently mute some camera sounds.

There is an Xposed module to save photos/vids on external SD card, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2408880&highlight=xposed. You can also access gallery directly from the GE Camera.
It works! :cyclops: :highfive:

Yes, that mod is working great.
I've been going nuts on the latest CM11 nightly 4.4.2 with the camera not being able to save its pictures to your sd card automatically and also multiple crashes...some fixes I found, writing new permissions mostly just didn't work or wouldn't stick if you rebooted.
I now have 2 different optional APK file and INSTALL fixes...1st is just the camera apk which I ripped out of the liquidsmooth cm based kitkat 4.4.2 which works flawlessly. The 2nd is a gallery apk fix that I ripped out of the slimbean 4.3.1 rom and it reinstalls the gallery apk which also has its own camera that will install along with it...both fixes work, both camera's are slightly different from each other though and function differently based on the gallery that is installed
This method requires Titanium Backup...you can get it on the play store and the free version will work just fine
HERE'S THE CAMERA APK FIX:
-backup your systems "camera" app before doing anything! don't blame me for losing the camera if something fails
-once backed up, uninstall the camera app and if using titanium backup, move the backup files to another location out of the titanium folder located in your INTERNAL storage
-download the camera zip files I made here
-extract the zip file and you'll get a folder named "camera files"...copy and paste the files inside, do not extract any of these files, to your titanium backup folder located on your INTERNAL storage
-once copied over, open up titanium backup and look for the camera apk file with a line through it and should say beneath it "1 backup"...click on it, hit restore and choose app and data, that's it! it should now be there and fully functioning
HERE'S THE GALLERY APK FIX:
-backup your systems "gallery" and "camera" apps before doing anything! I won't be held responsible if this doesn't work for some users
-once backed up, uninstall the gallery and camera apps
-download the "com.android.gallery3d_1.1.40012.apk" file I made here
-install the apk file by simply clicking on it and choosing install, it shouldn't need any special permissions but if so, refer to next step
-install the gallery apk by using a root file manager (I use root browser lite) and move the apk file to system>app, change the permissions to rw-r--r-- then select "ok" and then install it and reboot. after reboot, you should now have your gallery back and a newer camera icon that is darker gray in color with a dark blue center camera lense, open the camera app
-go to it's settings>more settings and to the right you'll now see an sd card icon, click and select the sd card and test it out!! that's it
video of using root browser lite to change permissions...in the video, it's a silent screen recorded guideline, my app was already installed, so I highlighted the options that show how to change the permissions and then when I highlighted showing "cancel/view/uninstall", if it wasn't installed the option would say "cancel/view/install"

*Newly added!!*--reinstalling sprint zone and voicemail
to install, follow the exact same steps as installing the camera/gallery apk files
-voicemail apk link: com.coremobility.app.vnotes
-sprint zone apk link: com.sprint.zone_4.6.017
if this worked for you, please post up and let us all know
giving this thread a bump...i revised the apk installation steps since redoing this process after a few updates of cm11, they fixed the camera as far as adding the option for sdcard storage but I've been getting a lot of hang ups and crashes then "unable to retrieve camera" error messages when trying to open back up, even after a reboot.
I even installed today's release of the cm11 nightly and the camera was a crashing mess over and over, so for any having these camera issues, here you go!
im wondering if i will ever be able to use the sprint voicemail. since i loaded carbon 4.4.2 and wondeing if there was any way of making it easy to make a call from your messaging by just sliding either right or left instead of tapping?

yes you can! I have done this already, I installed the voicemail and sprint zone apps on my cyanogenmod 11 4.4.2 and they work...I'll make apk's for them as well and post them up, give me a few
edit...all uploaded for you my man, just do exactly the same as I noted doing for the gallery app installation, where to place it and changing the permissions, any issues post back up
Just wanted to say, tried most if not all AOSP roms and for some reason all of them freeze when switching back and forth. This is the only one that works 100%.
Thanks for the find.

awesome, this camera apk I have listed here is from the slimbean 4.3.1 rom which is probably why it works perfectly on 4.4.2 slimkat, same devs
thanks working on att gs3 on metropcs running unnofficial Beanstalk 4.4.2 rom 20140206 release... fix "cant connect to camera" error. Thanks again
Thanks so much! I first created a backup. I used root explorer for the whole thing. I tried uninstalling via TiBu first, but it didn't actually remove the camera and gallery apks. I then tried ES File Explorer, but that requires you to set root to Apps and ADB, and I had deselected ADB some time ago.. I downloaded the apk and copied it to /system/app. I then manually deleted the two apks, changed permissions on your apk and installed. Rebooted and works wonders. Thanks!
I would like to suggest a n00b-oriented, step-by-step guide.
1. Use your favorite recovery manager and back everything up. This way, you can always go back if you mess something up.
2. Download and install Root File Explorer (Free).
3. Launch Root File Explorer. It will ask to download and install a few tools. Let it.
4. Go to where you downloaded the file (probably sdcard/Download). Hold your finger on the name and select copy.
5. Press the "Home" icon on the bottom left of the screen.
6. Click on the folder named "system" and then click on the folder named "app".
7. Select paste to copy the file here.
8. Press and hold the newly copied file, and select "Permissions".
9. Set the permission to rw-r--r--, or 0644. In other words, select "Read" for all three, and then select "Write" for Owner. Everything else should be unchecked, and hit OK.
10. Scroll down and fine GoogleGallery.apk and GoogleCamera.apk. Select GoogleGallery.apk and press uninstall. Then long press the apk and delete it. Do the same for GoogleCamera.apk.
11. Find the new apk that you just downloaded (com.android.gallery3d_1.1.40012.apk) and press it. Select install.
12. Once installed, back out of everything and reboot your device. When the device reboots it will say it is updating 1 application.
13. You are now rebooted with the new, fixed, camera. The icon is now darker, and with a blueish/purpleish lens.
14. No, none of your files have been deleted. Enjoy your working camera!
15. Check out the new options! In the extended settings, you can now click on the SD card icon and instantly select to use your internal storage or your external SD card (if present) to save your photos to!
16.Give goku2778 your Thanks!

Found this out last night, the camera that comes with the Gummy Nightly (AT&T Galaxy S3 Android Development forum) comes with a camera that has more settings and the shutter sound can be disabled via the android system settings/sound options. I don't know if the shutter sound option is always there in system settings as I didn't check the previous roms.

the other camera I listed does have more options to it if you wanna give it a try, can't hurt none, actually let me try it on mine right now see about the shutter sound....
nope, shutter stays on, it just gives the option to make the power button shutter (take the pic)...sorry man, I could care less about the shutter sound myself lol if I come across another 1 i'll bump this again, maybe I can find that gummy camera apk online and test it out

Thank you, I'll have to try it out. I have verified that the Shutter Sound option (under System Settings/Sound) is not available in another rom (Liquid Smooth) so it looks like the developer has to manually add the option (not built in to the camera). And Liquid Smooth's camera settings are detailed.

been wanting to try that rom out myself, maybe I'll install that today and check out the camera...and then, rip it out also lol I'll bump the thread again if I do that
edit...so I've been to liquidsmooth and back lol same exact camera as the 1 I added yesterday, only differences is the system settings with more options like disabling the shutter sound. so I guess just stay on that rom for now for the shutter options, I tried lol
Trying to do this fix on beanstalk on my galaxy s3, and when I try to install, I'm getting a parsing error. Any idea when I'm doing wrong?
I've backed up and uninstalled my original camera app, and moved the first linked camera app into my system/app folder. Changed the permissions to rwrr,and then when I try to install I get the parsing error.

weird...try this then, delete that out of the system folder, download it again and just open it and hit install, see what happens then...is this beanstalk 4.3 or 4.4? if it fails again, try the 2nd optional fix, that has been the more all around solid fix so far for both 4.3 and 4.4 roms

hi all
so my transition to kitkat hasnt been without its hiccups and the latest one is probably quite big. So since 4.4 we're not allowed to write in the external SD as I have seen it put. my problem is shown by 2 different apps. one is the gallery (or quicpic that I use) when trying to delete a photo I took (and since I have my photos being saved on the SD) I get a message saying it failed! gallery seems to let me do it and delete the photo but when I check in quicpic or the files themselves the photos are still there. the other app is my sms backup and restore app where again I have my backup saving to the SD but when I try to select it it says I wont be able to use it and as is expected when I try to back it up it doesnt work.
why would they implement such a policy?! that goes completely backwards! is there a fix or a workaround?
really appreciate the help
You can fix it by rooting (+ e. g. NetApp SDFix) or wait for app developers to change their apps (in terms of storing data in private data folder, for instance '/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.google.earth') - or if possible change the storage path by yourself.

how can developers change their apps since they wont be allowed to write on the SD? and what do you mean change the storage path by myself? as in to have stuff save on my phone? cuz thats what Im avoiding
As I wrote: every app has write access to its 'private' data folder of the SD card (if it creates such a folder). The folder name has to match the app name.
For instance '/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.example.app'
Disadvantages are that other apps do not have write access to these folders - and that data of an app will be deleted from its 'private' data folder if the app will be uninstalled.
The temporal solution is to root and use any KitKat fix to write in SD, there are single apps xposed modules flashable zips write some string in some system file.
