sdcard/dcmi/100media for camera
sdcard/downloads for text
sdcard/download for web
Ok cool I found them, but when I open the gallery app it says no photos or videos found. And the same thing is going on with my music. How can I fix this, I found everything on my sdcard, so how do I get the players to find them??
Unless there is a . In front of your folder it should pick them up automatically try taking your sdcard put it back on see what happens

The Roms I have been flashing are cyanogen 6.1, freak e senseless, and Ava froyo10 would that have anything to do with it?

i wish i could tell you but i really dont know it should be cant figure out why its not
I ask cuz i had trouble with 3d gallery trying to find pics that were in subfolders. I think i was using myns rom.
Im not exactly sure how to make the gallery find them especialy if their not already there, but unmounting then mounting the sdcard or using switch pros feature to reload media would be my only suggestion.
I fixed my problem, i put all my important files on the computer including my pics. Then i formatted my sdcard then i put all of my pics in the DCIM folder under the camera file and walla i fixed the problem.

The album should find them automatically. I took out my SIM card and put it into a friends Evo and my music and photos were automatically compiled. Is your SD card still mounted? Because if so, your SD card won't work till you unmount it from your PC.

Thanks so much. Saved my bacon
Well, I flashed latest Cyanogen mod, but then I found some problems with the phone. I'm not sure if it's really Cyanogen or something else, that's why I'm asking here.
Now, I always liked the default camera that comes with the phone, but this time, I can't find the timer on it. I have checked every single option and - nothing.
I figured that I might try some other camera apps, so far: Camera360, Camera Advance, Camera ZOOM FX and Vignette, they all work fine, but when it comes to saving pictures, nothing happens. I'm using some 3D gallery app, which comes with Cyanogen, I'm not sure what it's called, but it's fairly popular.
Any solution to this?

You mean the picture is taken ok but are not being saved? Have you used a file manager or pc to check the DCIM folder on the SD Card? This is a very unique issue and not specific to the camera apps or the ROM. Let me know re above.

The Gallery 3D app is native to Android. It won't be responsible for the issues.
Sorry for late reply. Yes, the images are shown in gallery, it just reports location as unknown and when I check SD card (I have checked every folder) there are no pictures (even the newly created folders after I change save path) are not shown.
However, after you mentioned that I should check with file manager, I did so and I can see the pictures. But still, nothing on SD card, so I can't access them. I even tried sharing them on Facebook and sending g to my email then downloading, they show up in the gallery but not on SD card when I access it via PC.
What is causing this? PC issue?

This looks like a great idea, but I'm wondering how they hold up. (I always worry about losing the caps to my keychain thumbdrives. :silly:
It Works, But
I got one. A nice little piece of kit. But so far it isn't a seemless experience.
The default Apps don't seem to recognize it. Neither Gallery nor QuickPic will find any of the photos on it until I navigate to it using ES File Explorer. Gallery will only show the photo I open from File Explorer. QuickPic will allow me to browse the directory of a photo I select, but not move up the directory tree.
As for music files, Play Music will do so for the file selected from ES File, but won't allow me to search the memory card.

Cedarsprings thanks for letting us know.. Kinda interested now!
Do u have root on ur Moto X? If so, can you pls give chainfire's stickmount from the play store a shot?
I think it may solve your problem by auto mounting the OTG device on boot.
If it works, I'm definitely getting one for my X too!

Nice! As soon as I read Cedarsprings review I was kinda bummed cause I just ordered one of these today. But if stickmount works, this little drive will be my new favorite toy
When I had my nexus 7 and used some random OTG, it worked like a charm on it .. So here's hoping! The meenova looks so much more schmick than the clunky OTG I used to have!!

Not Rooted Yet
While I got the Developer Edition, I haven't rooted it yet as I'm still deciding whether or not to put either my company e-mail (with their MaaS360 Mobile Device Management) or my client's e-mail (and its Citrix Recevier security - speaking of, what poor reviews!). Either Maas360 will detect Root, or it is just company "policy" to not allow rooted devices, and I'm still trying to find out which is is before I move on things.
I'd thought changing the USB Computer Connection setting in teh Storage settings from Media Device (MTP) to Camera (PTP) might help, but no joy. In fact, I was a bit surprised that there wasn't anything about the attached device there.
And while I'd also like to get Titanium Backup in place, there aren't any ROMs with real appealing capabilities that are pushing me to unlock and root. Now, when there's a Menu patch like Jason Robitaille's Advanced Launcer Options in WebOS, I'll be rooted & ROMing in a heartbeat.

Totally understandable .. I think in theory it should work, but just wasn't sure about motox compatibility with the stickmount and otg setup... Apparently Motorola phones dont seem to work with Carbon/Helium backup so I was wondering if something in the system might interrupt the setup.
hells yeah... Another webOS fan!! So rare to find one these days.. I'm only on Android becuz things went south ... At least matias is design the UI for android now.. And with HP's alleged intention to sell webOS patents, we just might find that Android becomes more webOS-y in the future!
The patch system was awesome! I think Rod Whitby setup Nexus Internals a while back when HP started giving up on webOS... Not sure if they are working on any solutions similar to preware? Closed framework is very similar in concept tho... Have u installed it?

Response from Meenov
I sent a note to the Meenov support site yesterday, giving them a heads-up about the Moto X issue and this thread, and got this quick response:
"Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately that's because Moto X removed certain support for external USB storage, while Moto's other models (Droid series) have better support for external USB storage."
So hopefully the smarter among us will figure out what the problem is and it in a future ROM.

Is it stock rom? what format of SD card do you use? FAT32, exFAT etc. And does it automatically mounted?

Stock ROM, FAT32, and sort of. It doesn't need to mount like a typical SD card. Plug it in and it will automatically show up in /storage. Unplug it when done, no need or way to unmount.

Ok, so I've had mine for about a week now and it works great with my 32GB UHS-1 class card.
To get your media to read in other apps, such as music in Google Play Music, download the app by Chainfire called Stickmount. Mount the Meenov. Second, if you wanna go the free route, download the app called Rescan Media Root and run it. (obviously, you need to have root access) Give it about 10-20 seconds (your Meenov will start to blink) and your music should start appearing in Google Play Music. Just remember to Unmount when you want to remove the Meenov reader. And to remove all your music stored on the card that still appears in Google Play Music, run Rescan Media Root again.
Or, you can just drop $2.49 on the pro version of Stickmount and it will automatically trigger a rescan on mount and unmount.
i have tonnes of music albums and the album art is showing all over in my gallery app. In the g3, there is a function to hide them but not available in g4.
any workarounds here?
QuickPic
Have you tried holding the pic down to lock it that will hide it you can also do that for a whole folder.

No option to lock any folders on mine. I had to do .nomedia in Explorer to get them to go away. Temp fix.

yes i did and it doesnt work like the g3 anymore.
I have a similar problem, I also want to hide some folders in the stock gallery.
You cannot lock an folder, just single files, but that's not what I want, because then I cannot access those files with my filemanager, too.
I don't want to lock them, I want to hide them. As far as I see it, there's no method to do this.
And using the .nomedia or similar workarounds won't work too, since the files are on my external SD card.
I do not want to use third party apps, there must be way...

Any reason why you refuse to use third party apps? Quickpic works so well that I hadn't considered the stock app even slightly when I got the G4. Ability to sync photos with drive and Dropbox along with added functionality like hiding albums is the reasonwhy the stock app is considered inferior, at least IMO.

I'm with you on that. The only way I was able to satisfy this need was to put a .nomedia file in the folders I wanted to hide.

Well, I don't want to download and use apps that I wouldn't need.
But I just gave QuickPic a try, and I gotta say, this is pretty good. I'm gonna use it instead of the stock gallery now. It's faster and has the ability to hide albums.:good:
You can.lock files with a passcode or pattern. Hit the 3 dot menu under gallery. You might have to go to settings security to enable it first.
Naughty naughty pictures probably. Put a file with a file name of ".nomedia" in that folder, any text editor can create a new file but make sure you save it with the .nomedia filename.
Very naughty. Don't want my nieces to see when they play games but want them stored for... I actually don't even know why. I don't even look at them.
Guys, putting a .nomedia is also hiding the mp3s from Music app.
Any way to hide the album arts from Gallery without hiding the mp3s from the Music app???

I want to use the stock Gallery and stock Music app. Now how can i hide the album arts from stock Gallery without hiding the mp3s from stock Music app.
placing a .nomedia, hides everything from Gallery and Music. Please help!!!
Settings > Content Lock > Choose pattern or password. Once enabled head over to your gallery/folder and press the 3 dotted thing located on the top right hand corner and press 'Lock'.

I don't think you can do this. When hiding ("locking") in the stock Gallery, you literally lock the file: it gets encrypted. So you cannot open the file with a regular file manager anymore. Thus I believe the stock Music App cannot read the files either. When you lock each album art seperately the mp3s will still be there in the music app, the album art won't however. I can only advise you to choose a different app for your gallery. I've been using QuickPic for a while now and it's really good (and can hide your album art).

Do you have your sd card merged with main memory? If you reformat it as removable storage it will probably fix that (but you will need to reinstall some apps). This fixed my disappearing icons.

No but it is formatted as internal storage therefore encrypted and that was my next step. Now I remember this happened to me in jellybean after using apps to SD. Its actually Widgets mostly but apps too. Thanks a bunch for the reply and jogging my android memory. Knowledge is only useful for the young minds that can retain it.
