The .nomedia file is on the root of you sdcard, so you're half right. Might want to try looking at it through your computer because not all file explorers can see hidden files.

I started seeing people talking about the continuous charging symbol yesterday. You should probably check in the ROM's thread to see if there's a fix. I don't wan to say it's the ROM without knowing. Glad your media's back though.

definitely already am thanks again
No problem.
Please note that this is NOT my guide, I just simplified it into very easy terms and instructions, but original is by the great WarLockW
Steps to take:
01. Have a T-Mobile T889 Samsung Galaxy Note 2
02. Download these files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1446771&d=1351716949
03. Extract files to folder on Desktop
04. Root your T-Mobile T889 Samsung Galaxy Note 2
05. Once rooted, make a COMPLETE backup using CWM or Titanium Backup (I did BOTH just in case, I like to be double sure I have a backup)
06. Once backed up, go to Google Play Market and download "APN Backup & Restore"
07. Once installed, open APN Backup & Restore and press on "OK" on the warning message that comes up
08. Close APN Backup & Restore (from task manager too, just in case)
09. Open Titanium Backup and press on Backup/Restore
10. Find the application "APN Backup & Restore" and long press with your finger on it
11. Once menu comes up, press on "Convert to System App"
12. Once done, close Titanium Backup (from task manager too, just in case)
13. Open APN Backup & Restore and press on "OK" on the warning Message that comes up
14. Press on the menu button on the phone and press on "Disable ICS Check"
15. Close APN Backup & Restore (from task manager too, just in case)
16. Open APN Backup & Restore and press on "Backup APNs"
17. Select a name or leave the one in there
18. Once backed up, close APN Backup & Restore (from task manager too, just in case)
19. Connect your phone to your computer
20. Once connected, navigate to your phone drive in My Computer and go to "Phone > ApnBackupRestore" > Copy the created XML file to your computer (once again, just in case)
21. While still in the "Phone > ApnBackupRestore" folder copy/cut/paste the "T-Mobile-APN.xml" file to that folder
22. Once the file has been copied to the "Phone > ApnBackupRestore" folder, open up APN Backup & Restore application on your phone
23. Once open, press on "Delete APNs" and press "Yes"
24. Once deleted, press on "Restore APNs" and select the T-Mobile-APN.xml (the one we originally copies from the zip folder that needed to be downloaded/extracted to a folder on your Desktop, and press "OK"
25. It will then restore the newly modified APN file
26. Close APN Backup & Restore (from task manager too, just in case)
27. Go to Google Play Market and download "Tethering Widget"
28. Once installed, go to the APPS icon on your phone and select Widgets tab on top and drag the Tethering Widget to a new page
29. You should now be able to successfully enable native tethering via the Widget
30. MISSION COMPLETE
*NOTE: DO NOT GO INTO THE ACTUAL T-MOBILE HOTSPOT APPLICATION AS IT WILL OVERWRITE THE APNS AND TETHERING WILL NO LONGER WORK. IF THAT HAPPENS, REPEAT STEPS 23-30.
Please let me know if I have missed anything. Alot of these steps are self explanitory but I have had issues with this the past day, but I finally got it to work so I wanted to share every step in an ultra-easy fashion

I believe so, just make sure you have ROOT already done and if you have Root Explorer, I suggest just copy the contents of the download zip file on to your sd card and you can go through there, as long as you have all the files, you should be able to if I am not mistaken. I am pretty computer savvy, but I have been out of the android world for a few years, coming from an iphone 4, so this is sort of all new to me, but i do believe you should be good to go without a computer. The zip file contains the T-Mobile-APN.xml along with the APK so you should have it all
The quick and dirty is. Grab tmobile.xml from the OP.
Install APN backup.
move APN backup to /system/app from /data/app. You can do this by moving and changing permissions to 644. then rebooting. //don't titanium pro
delete all apns, after backing up. And restore the one from the OP.
Use settings>mobile hotspot and enable hotspot.
do u need titanium backup pro for this? or just free version?
Edit: ok nvm got stuck at the system app step with just the free version..
Yes, that feature is part of the PRO version.

If you got it to work but need to change the password of the hotspot now
go to the notification bar, go into the hotspot settings
do not click on On/Off (it should now be on from the widget)
click on the Hotspot name (Mine was Samsung Galaxy Note II 13)
Then click on Configure (lower right)
and in there you can set the password to be whatever you want
save settings
and you should be good.

I did that as well, turn security off and logged in but it directed me to Tmobile page asking me to do an upgrade on my plan for tethering and using their hotspots, so I just went back to my wifi instead.
Is there a way to bypass that page and go straight to surfing and etc.?

Go through steps 23-30 again, delete the APNs and restore the T-Mobile-APN.xml file from the original zip.
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"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uow9OyLVGRI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
*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.

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.

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.

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

1. Side load foldermount.apk to your shield device and install / open the apk or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122
2. the apk will open to this screen wait untill you get root prompt from SuperSU http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3587585&stc=1&d=1450980860
3. Assuming you are now rooted with foldermount installed and have granted root permissions to folder mount we can plugin and check the status of you're HDD mounting (i use ES file explorer myself but its up to you)
4. Press the + symbol (can be seen in above Screen Shot) *Top Right*
5. You will see this screen http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3587591&stc=1&d=1450981236
6. In the NAME section put the game name I.E Asphalt 8.
7. In the SOURCE section (folder to move data from ) navigate to Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA8HM < click to enter this folder then press the arrow at the top right to add this directory.
8. Once you complete above step 7. you will be prompted by a screen asking if you would like the apk to set the mount directory automatically choose NO
9. In the DESTINATION section (Folder to move data to ) Press the three dot menu top right and select / Path http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3587593&stc=1&d=1450981823
10. Ignore the warning select never show again and press OK
11. Now navigate to your external HDD (find this out by checking the name of your drive in ES file explorer) for example mine is /storage/usbdrive2
12. To avoid a messy root directory i made folders on the external drive named GameFiles with Data & Obb folders within
13. Now that you have entered the Name Source and Destination simply press the tick top right and just press yes to the next dialog box wait... http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3587617&stc=1&d=1450983482
14. Do not turn off your Shield until the data is finished moving. Wait a couple of minuets till the data moving is complete. Check this by simply trying to mount the game/apk it will tell you if it's ready or not in a toast message.
15. I suggest pro or you can only make 3 mounts and u get file sizes in folders to help find those big games/folders
16. DO NOT! Make the folder on your external Hard drive called "Android" it's in your internal as it cause's problems just choose your own data file name I.E "GameData" or similar to avoid issues .
17. Example of how i checked my device storage name in ES File explorer http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3587622&stc=1&d=1450984015 USBDRIVE2

After updating my shield to MM I've not rooted it have you made any successful mounts with any other apps? Or is it just kodi that you are having problems with?

Something I can help you with?
Hello all,
I cann't find a solution to install apps in sideload on my Pixel 2XL.
It was after flashing version 10 in the beginning of september.
After a lot of trying I give up and hope someone else here can help me.
My Pixel 2XL is unlocked but not rooted.
Normally I do the sideload by transfer an apk to my dropbox. After that I start it up and do what the system tells me.
Nowadays I got a return of a message in dropbox that -it is impossible to open the apk and download an app to open the apk-.
After that I download the apk to my download folder to try again. Then, when trying to startup, I get a popup with the name off the apk, the version nr, the size and packagename.
There is also a button to view apk content. When I push that button the right folders of the apk are indeed visible.
There are also 3 options. One to install, one to go to playstore and one to stop further actions and go back.
When I try to use the button install the result is that nothing happened, no signal, no message from the system, no popup, really nothing.
You all know that this is not what I want. I just want to install the apk. I have tried it with a few other apk's with the same results. :crying:
Before the last OTA upgrade to android 10 it was normal to install with these methods.
Thanks for who can helping me and others for trying to help me.
Greetings.

Have you enabled install apps from unknown sources? You'll also need to enable apps to install apps from what I can see in android 10. If you pull up an apps indignation you can expand the options and there will be an option to allow it to install apps, which Dropbox may need. The first one needs to be enabled to install apks from the download folder.

Thanks for helping me.
I did all these settings before.
Now I tried to open another filemanager (Google Files) and that did the job.
I don't know why installing in dropbox or installing in es file explorer doesn't do the same with equal settings.
Maybe an idea to uninstall and re-install these apps?
Anyway, a lot of thanks for your answer.

Android 10, install from unknown sources is like an app permission now, you have to grant it to things like chrome (download apk and install) and file managers rather than a global setting for phone. Safer as you trust an app o do it rather than letting some malware in background filling your phone with crap.

Uninstalling and reinstalling will not work, as I've done that with my modded version of ES File Explorer. This is a change in Android itself.
Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Special App Access > Install Unknown Apps. A list of apps will appear. Select an app and toggle the switch.
NOTE: Dropbox is on the list, but at least on my device my modded version of ES File Explorer is not.
