I am having issues with the gallery in CM6 RC1. The gallery opens, but will only display pictures taken witht he camera since I installed this ROM. Is there a way to specify filepaths for the gallery to look in to find all of my other images? I have searched quite a bit for a solution, haven't seen this topic come up for anyone else. I'm not a dev, but can follow directions pretty well. Any help would be appreciated.
Just reboot the phone, that's what I did.
I've rebooted several times, also wiped the phone and reflashed everything. I installed a 2d version of the gallery, with the same result. Some of my albums also fail to show up in any music player...I can play them through file explorer, but can't even see them in the players. When I flash back to DD2.7 or 2.8, the files show back up where they should be.
try going into dev tools and start the media scanner... worth a shot
The media scanner didn't help, I had run that a few times already. Thanks though.
Try finding another program to edit photos, open and save them. I had a simular problem with my music, and went through all the songs with an mp3 tag editor doing that, and it all came back normal

Ok it's getting annoying for me now. i put some songs, some wallapapers on my sd. but when i'm going to gallery it doens't show up there, even if i removed a image it still there in thumbnail (not the picture itself, so doensn't load). Ok now i want to listen music but they don't show up.
What did i try:
1. Reboot: i tried rebooting couple of time no luck.
2. ES explorer: the images/music is there i can see them. opening a picture shows black screen i have ot wait a long time to make them show up, and if they do i can't do anything with them. For music i can play them by selecting them but no info shows up, it just plays.
3. reload sd card: i reloaded so many times the sd card.
4. different gallery app: i tried other gallery apps but no luck.
Ok what's weird any change doing with the shows up like taking picture. moving a image makes it show up in the gallery. But when i try it from the pc it doesn't show up i didn't try a wipe and don't wan't to do a wipe.
I'm using CM5.0.8T5 with Froyo Radio
Does anyone know what i can do?
I have the same issue with my N1. I got a bigger SD card and decided to put music on my card. When I went into the music app it only listed like 10 of the 2 hundred songs I had put on (which I'm sure un-coincidentally were the songs I had on my old SD card). I tried restarts, I tried removing the SD and reinserting hoping it would re-read. My best guess it's a caching issue, but I'm not really sure. I tried resyncing with DoubleTwist (I'm on a Mac) and the ironic part is my music app detected the new songs, but the DoubleTwist app still only detected the old 10 songs.
Also when I take pics with the camera they sometimes takes a few minutes to even appear in the gallery app, to view them in the meantime I have to go into the camera app and click on the preview icon.
I'm with you on this one... is there any answer to this?
i just noticed this too started the other day, but though nothing of it until i saw this thread.
Now you got ME thinking...
Try app ScanMedia http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-humanrobot-scanmedia-DAAz.aspx

Thnx just tried it but no luck
I forgot to mention i have a 16GB Sd card.
I just last night had a similar issue with songs stored on my 16GB SD card.... I added a bunch, and they didn't change. I changed ID3 tags on others, and they also didn't change. I tried pretty much every suggestion I could find.
How did I finally fix it?
I moved all the songs out of their subfolders and into a new "MUZAK" folder on the root of the SD card. I also deleted all the hidden (.prefix) folders on the SD card that I thought might have anything to do with storing information on the tracks on the card, and also deleted all the data files for the stock and third-party media players on the internal storage. Rebooted, and it seems to have picked up all the tracks. Of course, if I add to it, it probably will fail again...
But this is apparently a well-known issue with the Android Media Scanner service.... it just quits working. It apparently takes some drastic stuff to make it work again.
edit: As a followup, I added a few albums to the SD card and they populated correctly. It'll be interesting to see how long this behavior lasts...
Thnx changing the name worked, don't know for how long.
some songs still miss id3tag even if they are there
Ok just Wipe cache in recovery and media update works again.
SDRescan from the market always works for me.
I should never wiped the cache.. my super duper batterylife got fecked. Horrible.. Arrrrgh!!! down to 74% after 4 hours..
Hi,
here is my problem:
When I take a photo, quit the Camera and open my Gallery I can't see the picture I took.
When I reboot the phone and media scan is performed I the picture appears in the Gallery.
Is this normal? Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
You should try to use the image review to check first

Thanks, but maybe I was not clear: how can I force the phone to put the camera pictures to the gallery immediately?
If i remember right I had to go into the dcim folder in gallery view and back to show the tumbnails ins gallery.
Anyway, with my current firmware jm7 this behavior has gone.
Tumbnails show up instantly.

Are you using a task killer? Is it possible that you're killing something called 'media storage' or something like that?
I thought this only happened with music and videos. My pictures are added into the gallery automatically. Maybe your gallery is bugged. Try rebooting.
Edit: You could download "Rescan Media" from the market to rescan media at will. Or you could unmount then remount the storage where your media is stored.
This happens to me too; but just closing the Gallery and reopening it works for me.
Thanks for every one of you, guys! I've tried almost everything, even reboot didn't help.
But here is what solved my problem (may help somebody): I went into Menu Setting/Applications/Manage applications/Gallery and cleared its data. Since then the Gallery works fine.
I think CFLagFix 1.8 made some mix-up with the photo dates, and this caused the problem....
The firmware is: JM1/JM2
'Rescan Media' is exactly what I was looking for earlier, so I keep it anyway.
Thanks again!
New to the forum, THX for the welcome......New owner of a Captivate, and so far everything is going smoothly except for one little problem. When I transferred pics and videos to my phone storage the thumbnails for the pics worked, but some of the thumbnails for the videos, didn't show up. Out of 75 videos only 6 shows a thumbnail, all of the clips are mp4. I recently retired a 4 month old Backflip when I saw the Captivate, and this problem was not present on it, it was also running the update to 2.1 Eclair. I have tried to d/l new vids to see if it was a transfer from pc issue, and put in an SD card and transferred the pics and vids to it, and I get the same thing....in the gallery under rn-downloads there is 6 thumbs and the rest are black. I have Realplayer installed, but have uninstalled it, and used the stock video player to see if that was the issue.....same thing. The phone is not rooted YET. Is this a Samsung issue being that I was haven't this problem on the Motorola Backflip. Hopefully someone out there knows an easy fix.
Please help!!!!
Thx in advance
I have the same problem. I tried everything removing my SD card reinstalled it, ran the media scanner countless times. Copyed all files onto the phone from the SD card. I downloaded an apparently called "just pictures" it does the same thing as the gallery also allows u to Have photobucket and fb pic accounts on it. Really streamlines Everything. Is a quick fix for this stupid gallery issuse.

My bad I just noticed Your only having that problem With videos is it just that or pictures as well? Unfortunately that app I mentioned only handles pictures but I'm sure there are other That handle vidoes or just use the video player to browse cause the gallery cannot serve that purpose.

Yea just noticed an *.avi movie (horrid stuff Universal Soldier Ressurected) isn't showing up in the Gallery. Dunno when it stopped working.
But I have been using My Files or ES File Explorer whenever I wanted to watch something on my phone.... so haven't been paying attention.
I will do the same thing I Just wanted / needed something to be able to watch picture slide shows on. So that was taken care of. Good Thing is there is a lot of options to replace the gallery in the first place.

So basically when using any of the Jelly Bean roms, my music and pictures on my internal storage are not being scanned to show up in their appropriate apps. I have tried all the solutions I have found on other threads but none of them have worked. I know a few people have this problem and I would appreciate it if someone could help as this is the only problem I am having using the Jelly Bean roms.
Solutions I have tried:
Clearing storage media data
Installing other JB roms
Installing different kernals
Mounting SD and emmc in recovery
Factory/Data reset (all JB roms)
Fix Permissions
I usually don't have any problems I can't fix on my own with my experience with Android over the years, but this is the only problem I can't seem to fix.
Help.

This happens in ICS Roms as well (if you perform a clean install), my guess is that you'll just have to wait it out. The Media Scanner should have started automatically once you've finished setting up your phone. Give it a good 30 minutes to scan your stuff and it should show up. Otherwise, try downloading one of the media scanning apps from market (e.g. "Rescan Media") and see if it does the trick.
I know, it is pretty frustrating.
What I noticed is that picasa/google photos sync fine. Those are the only photo albums that show up in my gallery.
But if you take a picture with the camera that picture will show up. Weirdly enough, downloading a photo from the browser doesn't show up.
I have had no luck with any music. Even adding new music via USB doesn't seem to show up either.
It is the only real thing that's keeping me from using Jelly Bean as my daily. If a month or so passes by and Jelly Bean is still not on the Nexus S, I might just do a full wipe and start from scratch. But fingers crossed that Google can step up and get Jelly Bean working as well as on the Galaxy Nexus.
Those who are having issues - does the media process also eat 100% CPU?
Starting to seem like a common problem across all devices with JB...
While mediascanner going nuts is a long standing problem dating back to at least Froyo - it seems FAR more common in JB.
Turns out Google made some significant changes to mediascanner... It no longer caches a bunch of stuff, which kills performance when scanning.
Even if a directory has no actual media files, or has a .nomedia file, it'll scan the entire goddamned directory. One example is that if you have Parallel Kingdom installed, it will sit on the PK directory for 10-20 minutes!
up... any news? This is the only problem JB gives me...!
i had the same issue and i did backup of all my data to my computer after i format sd partition and now it works normal
See my thread about Media Scanner:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801378
There is definitely something amiss with Media Scanner on JB.
Having exactly the same problem with Elite JB..
is there any solution out there? (I read something about .nomedia file, but I don't really know how to do it)

This is the solution I found. I think from ics apps doesn't get turned off even though you press back button. Thus what's happening is that after rescan media is turned on initially, it scans media. After scan is done app doesn't get shut down thus reopening app just opens the app to its previous state wheb scan was complete.
So what you have to do is hit multitask button, close rescan media app by dragging then re open rescan media. It will open fresh and will scan media.
X-Bean ROM scans my media without problems.

Just a wild guess here....
I have a sensation with the newest CM10 JB beta build. I too was having trouble with seeing images in my gallery. Turned out that their is a problem with ROM Manager....so after i deleted it, ALLLLLL the imaged started popping up in my gallery.
Just something to try......
Follow this guide, it works for me; http://ishan-thecholeric.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/solve-media-scanner-problem-on-your.html?m=1
Install QuickPic to view all the images the gallery doesn't pick up.

Has anyone tried the fix I linked above yet?
It works perfectly for me. It keeps media storage running as normal. It only disables the media scanner service that the problem is coming from. Then simply use 3rd party apps like QuickPic to view all the media instead.
I had the same problem but since I installed JRO03L 4.1.1 BETA 9R2 my problem was solved. I haven't had any problem since then. You can try install this ROM...
follow this :good:
The same for my SGS with CM10 latest nightly.
Pics and music do not show up in stock gallery and music player.
Media scanning service keeps restarting.
I aslo tried every solution in the first post but no effect at all.
3rd party app like QuickPic does the job for me, though I have not found some app to play music...
Other than the problem above and lag caused by google search, Jelly Bean is quite smooth on my phone.
Hope someone find the solution...
A temporary fix:
1. Get Nextapp's FX file explorer.
2. Go to the folders with media in it.
3. Tools, rescan media.
The issue with my phone was camera360. Once I froze all 360 files my media scan worked normally.

After u delete all the 360 files, your media scan worked normally even for music? Not just photos?

Media is media, no matter how small.
I've started to have a weird issue. I don't know when it started happening though. I went into apollo to listen to some music and nothing showed up in the library. I always use apollo to listen to music so all of the sudden just nothing is there when there are normally around a thousand songs. I tried using the google music app and that one didn't show anything either. Is there some setting that could be blocking the these apps from scouring my touchpad for music files? Most of the music is in a folder called HP Music because I imported the music when I first got the touchpad running Webos last year. When I first switched to CM7, all of the music just automatically imported itself. Same with CM9. So I am at a loss for why this is happening. I was previously running the Aug 11 2012 nightly for CM9. The music definitely worked a couple of days ago while running that nightly. I then today decided to upgrade to the Aug 16 2012 nightly to see if that would fix the problem but no dice. Music still is not showing up in the music libraries. It is worth noting that I can open up the hp music folder, select the song I want and then it will play in the ES media player. Any thoughts guys?
I have also just noticed that when I long press on the home screen and select gallery, it says 0images/videos available.
Thanks!

Apollo does not recognize music folders starting with a number
For other people that found this page on google... I was having trouble with some folders that Apollo was not loading. Turned out their names started with the year of the album and as soon as I changed the folder are it appeared in apollo
I was having the exact same problem last week. I couldn't figure it out, and I spent over four hours trying to understand why my gallery and Apollo showed no files. Then, I would plug my TP into my PC, and saw that only the "Notifications" folder would show up in MTP. I tried everything, including clearing my cache, fixing permissions, clearing the Dalvik cache, uninstalling apps, moving apps the SD Card etc...
I finally said screw it and restored to a month old backup, and voila, the problem was solved. If I would have known it was a pesky ROM Manager update, i would have thrown my Touchpad at the wall.

Lucky. I've searched for those pesky .nomedia files and deleted them all and yet Apollo nor Play Music populate with my music at all. My music folder originally was named downloads from webos, I tried renaming to Music and that didn't work. I'll have to dig around for a backup I guess, though I doubt I have any.

...Can't believe I missed that, I literally Google'd the crap out of that last night. Thanks man, working all fine now.
I also seem to have overlooked your previous post with the same link.. Guess I'm either blind, or its just the color scheme of the forum that makes it blend in easily..
[Solution to Apollo Music App]
There are a lot of ".../Android/data/no media." files. If you noticed when you rooted your phone and you had to use CWM or TWRP, folders such as 0, emulated, legacy, and storage were made and duplicated multiple times. If you want your Apollo to start showing songs, you're going to have to go through each and every "Android/data" and delete each no media. files. I can't tell you the exact places where your Android/data file occurs, because the amount of occurrences depends on how many times you've formatted the SD or rerooted with another ROM, but if you can delete all of them, Apollo will start working.
I'm not responsible for your lost of data, information, contacts, etc.
**DO NOT DELETE THE WHOLE DUPLICATED FOLDERS (0, emulated, storage, legacy, etc.) FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE ALL CONNECTED + AND FOR STRANGER REASONS IF YOU DELETE A PART OF THE FOLDER such as the NO MEDIA FILES, all of them won't be deleted.**
I don't know why, but it happens. Thank you for reading and I hope everything works for you :]
This happen to me,
When i accidently put nomedia files on sdcard root, then suddleny missing all playlist songs in Apollo player,
Then fix it easily is with delete nomedia files from root sdcard and then move your songs folder in root sdcard.
And to make sure, clear Apollo's data app.
It's works for me
