Hi all,
I accidentally deleted AccountAndSync and AccountAndSync settings from my rooted galaxy S by using Titanium backup. So, I went to my friend's phone and using terminal copied those two .apk out of his phone /system/app folder and then put them into my phone's sd card. Tried to install them, not working. Then I put them into my phone's /system/app folder as well, nothing happened either. Restarted the phone, no change. What should I do to get it back??
I'm trying to transfer Titanium Backup files from my N7 to my Mac. The backup files are visible in ES File Explorer on the tablet in the TitaniumBackup folder on the sd card directory , but when the folder is viewed on the AFT app on my mac, it is empty.
The folder properties are read/write and not hidden.
I managed to see them, and transfer across last week, so I'm wondering why I cant now? I've flashed a couple of mod ROMs, then back to stock since - is that likely to have altered anything?
I have tried uninstall and reinstalling the AFT app on the mac, but the same problem persists.
Same thing with Windows 7 mate. Some of my files I can see on phone's file explorer but not on Windows explorer. I'm using AOKP ROM btw. Don't know if it's happening on stock ROM though.

I have a nook simple touch. I rooted it using Nook manager and installed NTGAppsAttack. Everything is working smooth and fine, except relaunch (I guess).
I have an SD card with books arranged in folders. I modified the file lists in some of the folders but the relaunch do not seem to recognise/show the updated file lists. I have ES file explorer installed and shows the updated files. (Example: I have a folder called agatha christie. Then I removed all the files from the folder and replaced with a different set of files. These new files have different file names from the original. EXfileexplorer shows the new file lists. But Relaunch shows the original file names which do not exist anymore in the SD card).
I guess this is due to some caching within Relaunch. If so, is there any way to force a recheck? If not, how do I resolve it?
Thank you.
Ok so ive finally upgraded my s4 to a s5 unlocked bootloader, rooted and resurrection rom. I understand the whole adaptable media and encryption. I want my sd card as portable so i can use it in my pc and other phones if needed. Also to use titanium backup to restore apps if i wipe and install a fresh rom.
My problem is es file explorer, root explorer, and any archiving apps are all jacked up and wont write as they used to. I am able to write to the sd card but i want to have full control like i used to on older roms on my s4.
Any help?

I'm using Ressurection too. Marshmallow can be a pain with the sdcard. Apps have to ask for write permission when it first needs it and you have make sure to grant it.
Titanium Backup works with the external sdcard but you have to go to "Preferences", then to "Backup Folder Location", click where it says "Storage provider:", select " Document provider storage", go to the external sdcard (not a directory in it) and press "select", and then go to the TB backup directory and select "Use the current folder".
If you're using a multi partitioned sdcard, Link2SD doesn't work but Apps2SD appears to work fine. Either way, you'll probably get a notification about a corrupted sdcard for each extra partition. You can safely ignore them. Long press on the notification and select the crossed bell icon to prevent it from popping up again.
Some apps have trouble if they are opened from another app. Rar wouldn't work for me in ES File Explorer until I opened it from the app drawer. Then the correct permission dialog popped up and it was fine ever since.
I would also strongly suggest setting selinux mode to permissive. I suggest using SELinuxModeChanger.
Thanks. I changed the selinux mode but es is still wonky when working with zips. I also tried zarchiver opened directly and it has problems too. Oh well.
I did get tibu working previously as you stated.
I hate when enhancements are downgrades!!
Thank you for the information.
I have the Verizon variant and I'm experiencing an issue where only some of the images on my SD card are showing up in the gallery. I took the card straight from my V10. I have tried the following to no avail:
- Backed up files to PC
- Reformatted the card from the phone
- Replaced files
What's also weird is that if I take a pic with the camera it puts the image in the camera folder on the SD card with existing images but only the new one shows up.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I had an issue like that when I went from a Note 3 to 4. I looked in the card and found saved thumbnail image files and temp files. Once I removed all of those (while the card was in the PC) and then put the card back in the phone, it worked fine.
check the card to see if there no ".foldername" or ".nomedia" file in those directory
Thanks I tried both suggestions and they didn't work. I also wanted to mention that when I go into the stock file manager and attempt to open one of the images I get the flowing message:
Scanning media files..... Try again when scanning is completed

I had a similar issue, this is how I fixed it
Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager (Root explorer is my preference because it lets you have two directories side by side)
Navigate to the SD card, locate the folder(s) with the pics. Copy(not cut) all the folders and then paste them into your internal memory (in Root explorer I went to my downloads folder, created a new folder and stuck everything in there).
Then once everything is copied, format your SD card again. Then move everything back.
Once I did that, Gallery was able to see all my files.
Delete or do not copy the Android, data, Lost.Dir folders ... could be a permission issue

Just make sure any app you have set to save data to the SD card is backed up somewhere else or you will lose said data

Thanks for the suggestion. This worked!

The only drawback to copying back and forth is that it changes the "modified" date on the files and then makes them appear as new photos

Yeah that was the only drawback to doing that. I already have everything backed up to Google photos so all I did was not turn the back up on those folders on again and any new photos I've been creating new events/folders for them.
I just had this same problem. V20 didn't see my Mp3s or my pictures.
I just finished setting up my 200 gb card that came with my v10 promo last year but I had been using it in my tablet.
I went to the file manager and deleted lost.dir and everything is showing now! That's the only one I deleted and it was empty anyway. (unless there was something hidden in there)
I just spent 2 days setting this up and clearing stuff from my v10. I did my best not to panic when I finally inserted the sd and nothing changed!
Glad I had seen this thread!

I have tried all of the solutions suggested. I have an LG v20. I have at 512GB SD card (phone supposedly supports up to 2GB) My file manager and most any photo gallery app will not see the pictures on the sd card. I have backed up, format and re copied. No change. I can see them in Google photos but I'm not even sure that it's looking on my phone rather than backed up photos in the cloud. This is frustrating.
Ok. I think I figured it out. My pic folder was a sub folder on my SD card. Beneath the pic folder were more sub folders to separate my photos. I moved the pic folder to the root of my SD card and the problem went away. I think there might be a limit to the number of sub folder depth for scanning. SD\MyDoc\PIC\(segregated folders) would not work. The only weird part is that it did find the videos in the segregated folders but no images. Strange. Regardless, everything shows up in attaching, file manager and gallery.
I just created a folder in the dcim folder called oldPics then moved all to that folder. Bam! Shows up in there own folder in gallery.
sd card issues..please help
having issues with sd card showing mp3 or pictures from my sd card. in the file explorer the files are there but in gallery or music player they are not. I have deleted the Android, data, Lost.Dir folders with no changes. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?
thanks 949BFN I have tried your suggestions. still having the same issue. the files work fine from file explorer but not in their respective apps. I have downloaded about 10 apps between the gallery and sd card and none of them recognize the sd card. any other suggestions?
I had the same issue. Pictures on the SD Card (which came from a S7 Edge) were not recognised by the native Gallery app. (Quickpic did not have an issue displaying the pictures). I could however not get any app to recognise music (mp3's and playlists) on the same SD card.
After trying the suggestions in this thread, I realised that all one has to do, is to rename the folder to something else (I e.g. changed my "Music" folder to "Musicd". I forced closed all Music apps, reopened the apps and all the mp3's and playlists were immediately recognised. (Not sure if this step was actually necessary). I forced close the app again, changed the "Musicd" folder back to "Music" and all is well. All Music apps (including Google Play Music) no recognise the music and playlists on the SD Card)
I did the same with my "Pictures" folder and subsequently, the Gallery app picked up the folders. However, I now have an issue with the Gallery app crashing about 10 seconds after opening it I've tried all the usual stuff (clearing phone and the app cache); rebooting etc. with no luck so far.
