Erorr on Note 2 (no pictures in gallery)

Hello, I would like to fix this bug but I do not know how.
Whatever I do I can no see pictures in my stock gallery (android 4.1.1) on Note 2.
I try to put pictures via cable, dropbox, sdcard...
I try to reset gallery application
I try some other solutions that I found on this forum but nothing helped with this problem.
I really hate it! Can someone help me please?
And I would like to know if it is possible to set up phone to vibrate when contact (which I am calling) answere his phone.
Thank you

Application Manager -> All. Select Media Storage, and clear data. Reboot the phone. This will force the system to rescan all media files.

I use an app called Media ReScan, it forces a researching of media on your phone. It's free on the market. LINK TO IT

Use Kies
The same thing happened with me, and the only workaround I found to fix this problem, is by copying the pictures from phone to computer, then used kies to copy the pictures from the computer back to phone, and it worked.

Might I suggest, sadly, the last two options:
Completely delete the entire SD card. If that doesn't work, format your phone. If you're rooted, backup any NECESSARY data, (no options, settings or anything like that, just in case it's related to the settings, but you can make a back up, just don't restore), and then reset device to factory default and see if that eliminates the issue.
Wait, are you rooted? On stock Android Galaxy Note 2? Or do you have any special changes done to your phone?

My phone is not rooted and it is on custom room.
I took my phone to the waranty provider and they were restored my software and still the same ...

Are you on CM10?
I believe that this is a bug that has been hitting Samsung phones. It's either, a) a fault in the MMC chip, or b) a CM10 bug. I've had that happen 3 times to me, the 1st time I had no backups and lost over 10GB of media from my External SD Card. The other 2 times I was prevented and lost everything but had a backup. So protip : backup each time you have something new on your phone. Better safe than sorry.
Now, download this program and run it. It'll recover almost all the deleted photos from your SD : http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Hi, I dont know if I have CM10 :S .. i only know that I have anything as brand new (stock rom).
I found a solution but it`s not 100% working.
I downloaded Fish bowl gallery and go in setting>advanced>find missing photos> and than I select the maps where the photos are but are not shown in the stock gallery.
I waited till photos are added and now i have 100 photos (of 117 total) added in my stock gallery (but i still does not have other 17 photos)
Thank you

You should return your phone. If your pictures aren't showing up even after flashing an official rom then something is wrong.

[Q] stock settings apk missing

So I recently rooted my Note 2 anddddd a few days after playing around with it (without a backup...i know...dumb me.) I am missing the settings apk so, in turn, I can't access my settings. Any one know how I can fix?
Thanks!

Backup your data, full wipe, reflash a stock rom. Unless someone can get you a stock titaniumbackup for the apk (which I dont even know is possible) you are out of luck I believe.
Another thing to check is to open up a stock rom's system/app folder on your computer and find the settings apk, maybe you can copy and past it into your directory with a file manager (es file manager if you need one). I've got nothing better to do right now so I will try it.
Edit: Too many settings apks. You've got to find the missing one

The second options should do it...:thumbup:

Thanks guys. Went with the first option. My next root run will come with many backups. Thanks!

[Q] Hosts file being overwritten?

Many others besides myself seem to have an issue where adfree/adaway don't seem to work.
I tried manually replacing my hosts file in /etc with esfile (root explorer enabled and system mounted R/W). However after rebooting, my hosts file seems to have changed back to the default one.
The steps I took:
- Pasted edited hosts file into /system/etc/. (I'm rooted so no errors so far)
- Changed permissions to rw-r-r
- Reboot
And after the reboot the my larger hosts file seems to have been replaced with some default one.
I'm currently using MyRom, but I've tired checking any setting that would interfere with this. I've also tried a fresh install of MyRom and this still happens. I think other people may have similar problems with adfree/adaway because of a similar issue. I'm thinking about reverting to stock and trying it again?

are you using adfree program restored from TB or from the store? if so you need to use TB Restore Fix after running TB .

Not that I know of. I tried doing this on a fresh rom install too, with no adfree programs installed.

I'll email the dev and see how the app is handling the host file. There is a known issue with some apps overwriting itself on reboot with (what i call) last known data.
Thanks for bringing this up.
* WHAT SPECIFIC APP ARE YOU USING (IE. ADAWAY)

I used adaway on official stock. Never had this issue with hosts reverting on reboot . It was however a pain to install, it fails and freezes multiple times before it works when ever I tried to update or revert the file.

Did somebody find a solution to this problem?? :crying::crying:

This does not answer your question directly, it gives you an alternative solution.
I use Adfree (for several years) by BigTinCan.com, it is easy to use and set up. I have never experienced a problem with it. Reboots work fine.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Seems strange that your host file would be changing if you never added a host adjusting app. Unless the ROM you are using includes it by default...
When I first started using AdAway on my GN3 it had problems.... It would start to update, stall, etc.... After a while however after an update or two, it worked itself out. Now I rarely think about it and manually updating it is very easy.

ViPER4Android driver install failed

Has anyone else tried to install ViPER4Android and have it fail when installing the driver? The error I get says it fails due to improper busy box install or I'm not completely rooted.
I can attest that I'm fully rooted and busy box is installed properly. I've reinstalled supersu, busy box and re rooted to no avail.

same here. my 8.4 has this exact same problem. ugh. this sucks.

After installing TWRP, I decided to flash another audio mod called elements of fidelity http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765331
And after flashing that viper's driver miraculously installed!
I didn't get a chance to thoroughly look into why we are originally having so many problems installing it on the tab s but I suspect it's because we are missing an audio*. Conf file that it tries to edit but cannot be found.

V4A made startling improvement to my Nexus 10 speakers, did it do the same with the Tab S's speakers? I only use V4A's to increase the gain with my head set once I bought quality headphones.
Hopefully we'll post your findings in the main V4A XDA thread so they can improve the V4A install base for all Tab S users.

In which folder must the audio*. conf be saved an what is her full name.
It's a little chance to save an empty file here?! And install V4A after that?

I'm on vacation and will be out of the country until the end of the week.
When I get home I will go through logs and see what exactly was happening.

Can you increase volume level much with Viper? One if my complaints with my 10.5 is the volume.... very low in my opinion.

Any further update on this? I miss viper audio!

I got the same issue as you guys.
Did anyone contact the devs in the meantime on viper4android and does somebody know if they are working on a fix?

OK all I have a fix for installing Viper on the Tab S.
Use any file explorer and navigate to /system/vendor/etc
Copy the audio_effects.conf in that location
Navigate to /system/etc and paste the file you copied there
Once copied change the permissions to match the other files in the /system/etc folder
Install Viper and it should work this time, apparently the audio.effects.conf file is expected to be in the /system/etc location and is not there by default for some reason....
For advanced users I suppose you could just create a symlink to the other location also but I didn't try this myself.
let me know if this works for everybody else, so far it has worked on both of my Tab's
Make sure to cruise by the Viper thread and thank metaljim also as he gave me the initial help which headed me in the direction of adding the file to system etc.

You Sir, are awesome. It's finally working and totally worth it. It's just incredible how much it enhances a tablet.

Jishnu Camera mod help

Hi all, so I got the G3 last friday, rooted it Tuesday and had a blast until last night when I tried the camera mod and ended up breaking my camera(apparently).
I replaced the following stock camera files with the Jishnu modded files:
media_profiles.xml
mix_paths.xml
LGCameraApp.apk
LGCameraApp.odex
Camera broke. And by broke I mean, when I start up the app, I get the toast message "Unfortunately, the Camera has stopped". So I reversed the above process and its still broken. Permissions are all rw-r-r as instructed, they are all in the correct directory on the phone. I rebooted several times, and even once the camera uninstalled itself over reboot!
Please help me resolve this as the camera was one of my favorite things about the phone, coming from the Moto X.
Thanks in advance,
Mark. The. Shark.

Your best bet is probably just to flash back to stock. You could try making a backup with the LG PC suite so you can restore your settings and such.

Hi,
I don't know where you downloaded the mod, but you should only have 3 files in the mod for it to work.
There are 4 files on your phone though.
Copy the files like the mod says and change permissions.
The files you need to copy from mod to phone are :
media_profiles.xml
camera_config.xml
LGCameraApp.apk
Then delete this file otherwise it won't work :
LGCameraApp.odex
Now reboot and see your new camera in action.
I have uploaded a copy of the one I use here > https://www.dropbox.com/s/llzkf38jku8848o/Jinshu Camera Mod G3 v2.zip?dl=0
