First things first: I like Sense, so don't start bashing it and saying "switch to CM."
Alright, now for the real problem:
I don't know if everyone else has this problem, or maybe its my 16GB memory card, but on any Gingerbread ROMs(or even some Froyo) nothing shows up, like in Ringtones it only shows stock ones, nothing from the folders on my SD card, same with Gallery, it only shows "All Photos", "All Videos", and "Downloads", where on Froyo it shows everything on my SD card. When I open Astro or OI File Manager I can see all the files though. Am I alone with this issue?
What rom are you using?
Right now, im using the stock froyo rom, rooted.
But ive experienced this issue with lots of ROMs, mostly gingerbread with the original sense style, and now with gingerbread mySense.
I've noticed this too.. use a 3rd Party app to add in ringtones.. the stay forever. You can find them on the Market.

Zedge is a good app. I like it.
You can also use Ringdroid. It'll actually add the ringtones to the native folder for easier pickings.
I've encounteredthe same problem. To get around it I created a media folder on my SD card. So on my SD card I have a folder named media and subfolders named ringtones and notifications were I drop my audios accordingly. I hope this helps

Yea, I get around it by using root explorer and putting the tones in system/media/etc. Just would rather have it working fine.

I don't move anything to the system/media folders. The ringtones become visible if you create a sdcard/media directory.
I've got that, but the phone won't see it

My apologies. I misunderstood you. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. This was the only workaround I've used and since it worked for me, I did not bother to look for any other alternatives.
Not sure exactly what did it, but I pulled everything off my memory card, formatted it, and put it all back(after sifting through a bunch of unneeded folders/files), and put them all back.
I also had flashed a gingerbread ROM in the middle of all this, so for all I know, this ROM just doesnt have that problem.. but all seems to be good now.

Go to settings, applications, manage applications. Select the application you want to move and if it can be moved to your sd card it will give you that option. I don't recall the names of them but there are applications in the market that list which applications you have that can be moved and will help you do that.

Titanium Backup will allow you to move almost all of your user apps onto the SD regardless of whether the developer wanted it or not. Highly recommend you use the "Pro" version or it may take a while to process.
I will have to check out that titanium backup.. Is it a paid app?

Don't supposed you'd be willing to PM me on how to use TB? I've downloaded the most recent version of Pro I could get my hands on, but I'm not sure where to go from there.

Menu > Batch
What Top Nurse said. You can move many more apps with TB than with the "standard" mechanism in settings.
To move an app individually, press-hold the app in the backup list, and a context menu will pop up. If TB thinks it can move the app, the move to SD button will be available.
Or, as mentioned above, you can have all the eligible apps moved via a batch operation.

At the moment I'm using 329.17mb of 484.80mb on the phone, then 12.09gb of 14.73mb on my SD card. I recently changed over from Syndicate Frozen to Bonzai4All and my phone is plenty snappy. I've got a handful of apps running via SD through AppMonster telling me that I can have them running from there as I installed them. I don't know if there is a standard or recommendation as to how much memory on the phone itself I should keep free, but as far as I can tell, I'm not experiencing any lagging issues whatsoever. No offense again Syndicate (was running 1.0.1, then 1.0.2 came out after I swtiched to Bonsai) but Bonsai is definately faster and the transition couldn't have been easier.

I just installed my first custom rom on my epic. It was Bonsaii4all 3.01. It is a wonderful rom.
I was a flashaholic with my Touch Pro2 (Go EnergyRoms) but have had trouble rooting my Epic. Finally got the drivers to recognize my phone and I'm lovin the change. I use App2sd to put apps on SD but I'mm going to try Titanium as I have that already. Rom Manager sometimes freezes my phone.
Dumb question: when you install apps to the sd card, if/when you wipe your phone, will it automatically find them and set them up, or do they have to be reinstalled or restored?

My gallery worked fine when I had CM6 on my G2.
I have tried CM7 RC1, #7, and #32 or something like that and my gallery doesn't work for any of them.
By doesn't work I mean it fails to scan for media, and there are no photos in the gallery.
I have tried all the media scanners and rescanners on the Market, but they all stop scanning after 1 second, and does not do anything.
Also, when I browse for a picture via file manager and click on it, it takes forever to load, but when it does load, it first shows this weird wallpaper that is from the Cyanogen wallpaper pack for a brief half second then shows the picture i clicked on.
I don't know what's going on. This has been driving me INSANE. All I want to do is just to be able to set my wallpapers. I don't know how to do it without gallery.
Any help at all?
Thanks!
EDIT: "Are you certain that you don't have a file named ".nomedia" (the "." at the start makes it a HIDDEN file) in the directories with the media to scan?"
Yes I am certain I don't have that .nomedia in the directories of my photos.
EDIT EDIT: There was a .nomedia in the root directory of my sdcard so that is why it won't scan ANY folders. Thanks!

mate, I use 3D Gallery instead of the stock. not only will it scan and place in folders, it'll also pull your online Picasa pics. i used it on my stock Froyo (even though froyo uses a different version.. I found 3d gallery was actually the stock Eclair gallery) and I use it now on my CM7 Desire nightly (bravo11). works like a charm.
I use the one that came with ROM. Works great.

I wipe dalvic cache and perform a factory reset via CWM 3.0 each time i flash.
Quickpic says pictures not found. Is your SDcard mounted? And that made me think. Could it be something wrong with my SDcard? I mean, I can access stuff in it via Root Explorer...

Ok so I just bought the evo shift from sprint and its been working great. I have over 500 songs and lots of pictures et cetera and I've been playing them all the time. This morning however I tried to play some music and it says music not found. Same thing with pics and vids. Apps saved on the card are fine. If I use astro and select a pic or mp3 it will open and play. Just not from any music players or photo viewers. Any ideas?
Edit: also a new development. I forgot to mention that I have clockwork mod recovery installed. And it won't let me turn my phone off. I power off and it automatically boots to recovery. Quite irritating.
Also I should probably mention that I am running my shift stock. No custom roms. Only thing I've done is root it using amoamares gui root method and the only root app I have is cache cleaner ng.
1. Not sure about your music.
2. That is a known issue with the recovery.
Ah I see I well I guess ill try getting rid of the recovery and go from there.

You might try copying them to your computer, making a new music folder on the sd card and moving them back.
Try moving your pics to the download folder and see if they show up.

You don't have .nomedia files in those folders do you? Just throwing out possibilities.

Anyone know whats going on? I guess this has been happening for about a week. All my old pictures are there, but when I reboot, any new pictures I took will just disappear from the phone
Im also on EC05 / Syndicate 1.2. Never had this issue before though
Ok I did a full wipe... and now it deleted ALL of my pics... Whats going on???
All the folders and other things remained intact, but all my pics from the DCIM folder are gone. Even other pics like icons saved in a download folder are gone.
Always backup your card fire this reason. I had to odin back to stock and then root and reload srf. All my pics stay now. Not sure what caused it. Thought it was because it is a new sd card.

By "full wipe" you don't mean "Factory data reset" under Settings -> Privacy do you?
As far as the original problem is concerned is the issue that the files were actually gone from the SD card or just that they didn't show up in Gallery and what not?
When I said full wipe I meant through CWM, so it shouldnt have wiped my pics out like that. I did do a backup thankfully though its a couple months old so I lost a bunch of things.
Its the same SD card Ive used since November or so. I guess I will format the SD card fresh and then copy over what I had saved.
This problem has returned for me with new pictures. I dunno.
Is everyone having this using a theme?
I think theres a broken framework.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'll ask again... Are the files being removed from the SD card or just from Gallery?
No clue with SRF but "Media Storage" should be running (Settings > Manage Applications > Running Applications).
Clearing the data for this app will clear out Gallery/Music/Video/etc (just the displayed items, not the actual source files). The media scanner should run (scan) shortly after booting and display a notification.
Not sure how to manually fire off the media scanner but if the files still exist and simply don't show up for you then this would be my first troubleshooting step (searching Google for "android invoke media scanner" pointed towards some apps/methods).
Maybe this helps, maybe it doesn't

Pop the card out and put it in a computer. See if the pics are on the card that way. It's possible they are on the card but whatever program you are using to look for them isn't finding them. for instance, if you are using Gallery and you have disabled media scanning then it will never know about new pictures.

It deleted them off the SD card permanently. I have no idea how it was able to do that. Every image no matter where it was saved on the SD card was wiped out.

Yeah I started about this in Q&A a couple days ago.
It cant just be a coincidence that its happening to us all at the same time.
Must be something were all trying out thats mmessing it up.
Only thing I can think of that I flashed last was that Heinz theme (which is beautiful if I may say so myself).

You can't. Also, if you put apps into folders, they will mysteriously move outside again after while, so don't even bother. Maybe they fix this some day.

Samsung was a bit shortsighted on that one and didn't build something like that in their launcher. My workaround for this is the following procedure: go into edit mode, grab the folder you want to edit to a new empty page and than delete the folder. The apps in it will populate the new page and you can re-add them to a new folder in your desired order, than re-add the new folder. If you want a more convient way for this try GO Launcher EX from market. It handles folders much more user friendly.As a note: You'll not be able to use any of samsungs widgets with any of the alternative launchers though.

I never have had something like that happening. Did you uninstall/install an app? In that case it looses its place in the folders.
