Hey guys, my dad has a Captivate, and he downloaded Tunee Music so he can download random songs and whatnot, but he doesn't have a micro SD card yet for the phone, and evidently there's no way (through the app) to change the save directory from automatically saving in a "Music" folder on the non-existent SD card. So I was curious if perhaps there is a method (command prompt maybe?) to change the save directory to somewhere on the phone's internal drive.

I'm running a custom rom (Ultimate) and the video recordings I make seem to be corrupt. I can't play them on any of my windows machines (I can play virtually every other file out there). I can't upload them to youtube , it bombs out. Any ideas what I'm can do to fix this?
Is there another camera app that I can get that would fix this?

Will they play in vlc? If so get super and convert em

Tried it, but Super C couldn't even play/convert them.
Found my workaround/solution: Copying the file to the external sd card and then putting that in my cardreader on the computers DOES NOT WORK. Actually copying the file from the internal to external SD card corrupts it on the phone BUT NOT RIGHT AWAY?!?! Meaning I can move the file to external sd and play it in video player. I put the phone on the charger, went to sleep and this morning it said file corrupt from the same player - I'm using root explorer to do all my copy/paste and it is the latest and greatest. My external SDcard has very few writes/rewrites and has not given me any other issues.
So, to copy to my desktop computer, I have to use the USB file transfer method, which works fine - just seems slower.

Also another workaround is to save the video straight to the external sd card... It seems to work (for now)
You can download additional sound sets from HTC, but where are they stored once you do? I'm unable to find the folder they're stored in.

Hi,
Is there no my file app on the Z1? I can not find it.
Other questions - how do you make the Walkman app look for music in your sd card?

Mine came installed with file commander, but you can easily download 3rd party ones such as ES file explore from pay store.
As for the Walkman app, mine scanned my SD card fine, there doesn't appear to be a manual scan mode, so I'd suggest u un mount your sd card in store and re mount it see if that helps.

media scan
Or try rescan media from the play store free app (works for me)

Wait a bit, turn it off and on again and it will scan the content of your internal and external sd card automatically. But it may take some time.
As for file explorers, there are hundreds of them on the market
Thanks. I normally use astro for file handling, I was Just wondering if there wasn't any default. I tried rescan and turn off and on phone with no luck. If I pick a mp3 via astro it opens and play in Walkman, but walking only shows the preinstalled songs..

OK, someone already mentioned that file commander comes with the rom.
Just give the media scanner some time. It is a process that takes some time. Leave your phone with screen off for a bit and it should find it.
Also, make sure there is no .nomedia file where you have the media stored. I also keep mine in a folder called music on my external sd card.
Nothing seems to work with make the files show up in the play (Walkman) So I will try format the card and see if that helps. Btw I didn't have the file commander installed default.

Do you have a network locked handset, as mine is unlocked and unbranded so that could be why you don't have the app.
As for your music not being recognised by the Walkman app sounds pretty strange... before formatting the sd card you should try clearing the cache from the Walkman app, as to me it sounds like a software glitch.

hopefully you've sorted this now!
also if you just want your music files in the walkman app, just click on settings (top right) and then open settings and disable 'music unlimited' under service settings. Now the walkman app will only show your downloaded music and none of their streaming stuff
My handset is unbranded and unlocked. I formatted the scarf,

I've been using the XT for almost a year now and I have noticed this pretty annoying bug on AOSP ROMS.
I have about 10 gb of music in a folder called Music on my external SD card. They can be read fine with a file browser or Poweramp, but most of the other music players (Apollo and Google music) don't seem don't seem to recognize the folder, or any media from the external SD card for that matter. I have also tried creating a symlink from the ext-sd to the internal memory to no avail. From what I've read, FAT32 doesn't support symlinks.
Is there any solution to this? I'm pretty tired of using poweramp.

This trick works for me for other custom roms:
1) Get "Rescan Media" from the Play Store (it's by Aditya Talpade) but dont run it yet.
2) Go into Settings->Apps->All and scroll down to Media Storage. Click it. Hit Clear Data and then Force Stop.
3) Run "Rescan Media" app.
Then wait... phone may get hot for a bit. If that doesn't work (it's happened to me before), I would do the Step 2, restart the phone, then do step 3. Then let the phone sit for like 20 minutes.
Good luck

AOSP roms don't have that option and the "Rescan media" app gives a FC everytime I try to start it.
I successfully transferred the original SD card's content into my 64Gb Sandisk FAT32 using the instructions on https://support.oculus.com/hc/en-us/articles/204363723-Using-Your-Own-microSD-with-the-Samsung-Gear-VR-Innovator-Edition but now all of the video footages that's found within the Oculus folder shows up on my Gallery.
Is there a way to prevent the videos from showing up in my Gallery without interfering with the Gear VR from accessing those files? It's not a big deal but there's 7 folders clustering my Gallery which gets in the way of utilizing my other folders.
Thanks in advance :good:

Try add a .nomedia txt file to the folders
I tried adding it to the Oculus folder and restarted but my gallery still showed the files :\
It needs to be on each folder separate and check if oculus software will still see those folders.
