So just now gallary and videos app stopped finding files on my sd card but when I use a file explorer everything is there? I tried uninstalling and installing the gallary app again but that didn't help. Has anyone ever had this issue? I'm trying to dogde reflashing my rom... it seems the problem is media scanner doesn't run because when I rebooted my phone it didn't show up at first like it always does.

Try using an app like QuickPic and see if they show up. If they don't, make sure the folders containing you media aren't hidden (have a "." at the beginning of the folder name). Also check to make sure somehow there wasn't a .nomedia file placed in there somewhere.
If none of those work, time to reflash.

I haven't tried it but believe that QuickPic would work because the stock video app doesn't find any files but mobo player still works normally. I'm just having problems with media scanner not running. Any app which I could refresh or rescan from within the app finds all my stuff but any app that depends on media scanner doesn't find anything. Idk why media scanner won't run though. Its not that big of a problem but I may have to reflash.
Thanks though =).

Is there a system app that has to do with media scanner? Because I believe I may have uninstalled it or replaced it with an older version that isn't working anymore. I was working on a port of the Epic Dark Horse theme and I didn't pay that much attention to what are the app files already in it. It may have had an older media scanner app that doesn't work on my phone now when I flashed it. That's like the only thing I can possibly think of that messed up media scanner. Is there such an app?

I am trying to add a link (icon) to a movie (Transformers 2) to my home screen just like the Avatar movie has. I have decompiled the apk for avatar, replaced the icon with one of my own and changed all references to avatar within the files to reflect Transformers 2. I have also changes the path within the files to point to where the new movie is. When I go to compile it, everything goes well. When I go to install it on my phone, it gives me an error that it was not installed. Can anyone look at this and give me a pointer?
I have the icon labeled the same as the avatar logo, just because I didn't want to rename it within the file as I kept getting compiling errors when I did change it.
Just download a file explorer program long press on the home screen click shortcuts go to your file explorer and find transformers. That's what I did with my leftover card from the hd2

Not sure what you're getting at. If I choose my file manager program all it does is link to it. I want to be able to have an icon on my screen that launches the file itself, just like it does avatar. Thanks for the reply though.
The logcat output should show the real error message, use adb logcat to view it. Did you resign the apk?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes, I resigned it without error. Where can I find the logcat after a failed install?

kinda off topic, but where is the avatar movie stored? i havnt been able to find it on the sdcard?
Its on the external sdcard in a folder called movie

If you have astro installed. You can go to the widget menu, click shortcut, click astro, click the movie. That will add a shortcut directly to the movie on your desktop.

Awesome, thanks youneek. Now if there is a way to change the icon. hmmmmm

Is there an app that can lock other Apps or basically anything that I want to lock?
For example, I want to lock my media (videos and pictures). I don't want my girl in that part of my phone.
Let me know
Sent from HTC HD2 using XDA app.
uhh ohhhh, someone got some pr0ns haha,
but im not sure of anyway to lock media, the only way i can think is to just set a password (Dots, Numbers, or Words) for the entire phone.
Definitely not pornos! Unless you consider recordings of other females I've messed with pornos. That's why I said I want to keep it away from my girl.

You're an ass lol
How about not storing that stuff on you phone?
now for some seriousness
some dude on another forum said:
I recommend Photovault. It's free, but what it does is that it changes your extension of the photos you wish hide. It also has 2 modes, Public and Private. You place a password on the Private gallery and you can even have a setting where the app starts in the Public gallery. It's not a eye-appealing app, but it gets the job done.

yeah, basically any folder with a dot in front off it wont be found by the android media/photo scanner

Ok this is going to sound really stupid but hear me out I'm POSITIVE I didn't delete the videos off my phone.
So yesterday I was out with some friends just chilling and I took some pretty funny videos of some of my friends. To share them with my friends I decided I was gonna upload them to youtube, but I couldnt do it directly from my phone for some reason. So I decided to email both video files via gmail to myself then upload them later on the computer. I check a couple hours later and the message is still sending, because of the amount of memory both videos were I assume, so I decided to give up and just find them on the sd card then move them to my pc. So I delete the message that was sending with the attached files since I wasnt going to go about it that way anymore, but then I go back and look through my phone and notice I cant find the videos. By attaching them to my gmail did I move them off the SD card?
I don't know about your main problem but in order to send pics/videos your carriers mobile data must be on, it will not work if only WiFi is enabled.

Sorry I knew it was too confusing. The uploading wasn't the main problem, my main question is if by me attaching those video files to my email then deleting them while they were still in the sending process, did I basically just delete those files off my sd card too??
It shouldn't have deleted the videos, not sure how that could have happened.

Yeah that's why I'm confused, idk they're no where to be found I guess I did something stupid, im still sure I didnt delete them myself though.. /:
What usually happens with me is the gallery app doesn't read new vids or pics when its running I kill the app & they pop up

I have a problem with the gallery app too!! Looking closely one of the random camera videos, it has a screenshot from a different video I did delete. How is this possible.. I may have deleted the two videos by accident because of this. Is there any sort of trashcan?

So I cant just delete everything in that cache folder? or Just delete the video cache?
I delete the whole file as it will rebuild the cache

You can "undelete" from SDCARD with 3rd party applications, I have done long time ago. But I am not sure you can do it since android writes/modifies sdcard too much.

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.
What device are you coming from?

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

After a little file snooping I discovered a .nomedia file on the root of my SD card ;p problem solved lol . Thanks for the help. Also in regards to my other problem - the forced recovery menu - anybody know if there is another safe recovery I can use?

anyone know how i can set THAT folder of samples not to appear in google music?
Create a new blank file in the folder you want to be ignored by Google's media scanner named .nomedia I believe. I may have the exact name incorrect...

Either in a file explorer or with the device connected to the computer, navigate to the folder that contains the files you don't want it to see. Then create a blank file (with no file extension) and simply call it .nomedia

You rebooted, right? You might have to wipe the app's data also, because this only prevents it from finding it when it scans for new files. Or perhaps it just doesn't work with Play.
