Media app for 2.1 roms

I come in peace. Let me aplogize in advance... Hey, all. I know this may be the wrong section to post my request, but a wheel doesn't get oiled unless it squeaks... right? I was wondering if any of you devs out there currently working on 2.X roms, can include in your builds some sort of app(s) that find and display media stored on an user's sd card... I know some of you have included gallery.apk(s) for such a purpose, but they just don't seem to work for me. (Maybe, I'm doing something wrong...) I'm not sure which is the case. I have flashed nearly all of your 2.0 & 2.1 roms and have the same issue every time. The media on my sd card can't be found. Pictures or music. I've tried using Astro to move pics in the DCIM directory from one folder to the next, but to no avail. Apps and their respective widgets just sit on my screen blank. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Before the smart a** replies come in, let me say that I've searched the forum and checked the Q&A to see if anyone is experiencing the same thing. I respect everyone and appreciate everyone's feedback and input. XDA has singlehandedly transformed my G1 from a blank canvas into a work of art. One Love

Blank media problem
Can't say I've ever had that problem. Just what is your setup e.g., radio version, spl version, and what ROM is currently installed. I use Amon latest 1.52, the DangerSPL, the latest radio v2.22.19.26I, and Intension-v1.3.3. You must first flash the latest radio before you flash the DangerSPL. You may brick your phone when your don't install the radio v2.22.19.26I, first! Hence, it's called the DangerSPL. They are both found here: http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/. Also, with Amon's Recovery you can properly format your SD Card with Linux, ext 3 and swap. After which, 'repair the ext', a utility found in Format SD area.
These are prerequisites to successfully install most ROMs for the Dream.
Hopefully, this will resolve your problem. Cheers

Thanks for the info. I'm using the same setup as you: SPL, radio, Amon 1.5.2. Actually rooted G1 with the 1 Click method before it got pulled from the Market... Haven't had these media issues when flashing Cupcake and Donut. Not until Eclair. But I will try the repair ext suggestion. Once again, thanks mayne. I appreciate it.

when i re-flashed mine it found the media app that shows all my music/pic/video files.. but i still can't play videos since flashing to 2.1, we might be sol until a dev takes care of that issue. im starting to find other ways to entertain myself on my g1 but its a hard habit to kill in a single flash.

Someone has to be the d-bag that does it, I guess I will...
Wrong section, and your knowing it was the wrong section makes it even worse. You'll be happy to know that plenty of us parade about ALL sections of the Dream forum, myself included, and I would be much more willing to help if this were in the right section.

as would I.. wrong section = i could care less about your problem

I have this happen to me, what you need to do is copy all the files from your sdcard onto your computer, format the card, then copy them back to your sdcard. It is painful and time consuming, but it is the only way i could get to work.

[Q] Clockwork Recovery issue - Installation of Update.zip

Morning Fellas.
I have myself a Rogers Captivate and im attempting an installation of Serendipity 7. Ive run into an issue with the Update.zip in Clockwork Recovery... The update says it completes in less then 2 seconds. This file size is 149 mb's, how can this be possible? Am i smoking something fierce, or is this the way its actually supposed to work? Someone had said on another site, that the SD card may be corrupted, or the file system may be pooched. So, i formatted the card, put a new Update.zip on there (which is my re-named serendipity file), but it does the same thing...
Have i done something wrong, or did i do everything according to their guide on there serendipity site (download section)...{cant post links on first 8 posts}
The only thing that has me confused, is that nowhere in that guide, does it say to rename the file to Update.zip.
Any help? Ive searched the forums under the Android general section, and couldnt find much associated to this "issue" if it is one.
Thanks,
-Js
Also, i just started looking at this OS, and for some reason, i cant access 3G, or HSPA. None of my data apps work on top of that!
And to edit this even more. My phone is now registered as a GT-I9000, where my model number is an I896..... Something is really messed up here!

Scrap this thread. Apparently im just retarded. Instead of putting it in /sdcard which is for the onboard memory, i kept putting it in the external.
Thanks anyways everyone. HSPA works fully, as well as Data and no errors.

[Q] [ROM] Clemsyn's Ultimate 6 ROM missing "My Cloud"?

I know that this would be better served in his thread, but I'm a newby to posting althought I got one of the first Transformers, but I have just installed Clemsyn's new Ultimate and "My Cloud" seems to be missing. Just wondeing if anyone else has had this issue.
I have formatted everyting and of course formatted my external SD card in the process which of course had my titanium backup.. but I digress..
Anybody else have this issue.
FYI I'm sure this is just me and Clemsyn's Roms are the best in my opinion.. They make this thing fly.

I just did a factory reset and then re-installed a fresh download of his ROM so I'm now thinking it's just not me but that it's supposed to be gone? I really liked that Asus was including that..
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Open the stock zip up and look for the apk in /system. Pull the APK and put it on the TF and install it

Thank you very much for the quick response..
I downloaded the firmware and of course it hasn't been broken down so that you can edit it so I was unable to get to a /system folder.
Downloaded prime 1.9.1 and saw the .apk located there.
I enabled side loading to install it and when I try I get the blurb screen that says it's going to modify stuff and then I get
X Application not installed.
Any ideas? I PM'ed Clemsyn and haven't heard back yet, but I can only think this was excluded by accident as I wasn't able for find a reference for it.
Any ideas on how I can get it installed?
Thanks again.

Ha.. Saying that you have to install that APK made this seem WAY more complicated than it is. You simply have to drop it into the App folder and reboot the device... So easy to do that I'm actually ashamed I had an issue with it. ;-)
FYI a You Tube video showed the very simple steps.
Thanks ;-)

Gallery & other apps not able to read USB Storage

NS4G
So i was running burns' CM10 and everything was perfect. I recently flashed Jellybro and Baked. Both roms are unable to access the usb storage via certain apps. Gallery cant read anything and settings like reading the usb storage for ringtones are unable to access it, although solid explorer is able to access the usb storage just fine. I flashed back to my burns nandroid and it is still able to read usb storage. nothings wrong there, but these other roms cant. Two different ones, dont know what the deal is. Any help?

I'm having the same issue here. I did a lot of reading today and heard a lot about the whole /storage/sdcard0 thing. Maybe that's part of it? Would love to know if there's something we can do for a temporary fix or if we're just kind of stuck for now. I'm running euroskank's jellybro.

Update on my situation: everything is back to normal now. The only thing that changed for me since was ROM Manager got an update. Changelog mentioned something about .nomedia files being place in wrong places.

So you just updated ROM manager? Not your recovery?

Yah, just the market update for Rom manager. Dunno what that changed, but now my gallery is working and play music finds songs.

Alright. I'm going to try that with those two roms I was using. I normally uninstall ROM manager haha. So thank you for the update and hopeful fix.

trying a manual delete

[Q] two storage locations maybe?

I don't even have any idea how to search for this or even ask about it. I'll try!
Okay, so after having trouble with 4.2.2, I decided to flash an older rom. I had some problems with wifi logo turning white and not being able to connect to Google, so I searched for a new gapps to flash. I was having computer trouble, so I downloaded it onto my phone, it saved to the downloads folder. I also had noticed none of my other files were in there, which kinda freaked me out, but the same amount of space was being used on my internal memory (I don't have a SD card). Anyway, I went to go flash it with twrp and went to downloads and saw all my OLD files, which didn't include the new gapps download. So, I went to root explorer after rebooting and moved the gapps to my root folder, then restarted to recovery and it's not there. The only thing I can think of is when I'm in recovery, it just says sdcard, when I'm in the system, it says sdcard0.
Does anyone know what's going on and maybe something I can search for? This is weird. My files are clearly there and I just can't access them... even with full root access!
Sorry if this didn't make a lot of sense, I have no idea what's going on at all and I'm also kinda tired. Hope you can help!
------ I found the answer here: androidforums .... /verizon-galaxy-nexus-all-things-root/649940-4-2-sdcard-sdcard-0-observation.html
My tired brain finally kicked in and I searched sdcard0 and figured it out. Now, I guess I have to move stuff so I can use the old os. I'm only not deleting the post because it might helps someone. And I'm sure modifying links isn't allowed but I can't link with less than 10 posts and I wanna make sure people get the answer, so... yeah... Add com in the middle.
