Hey guys,
Any idea? I have tried the method that putting the .nomedia file in the folder. But it's still not working because I can see the texture of the game in the gallery. You know, it's so annoying.
Is there any way for me to choose the folder of gallery using the official one?
----------------------------EDIT-----------------------------------
I've checked the file and the file surely is named ".nomedia". But the problem is still right here. So...any idea?
Side question: Will this method be applied to other sub folders automatically?
---------------------------Solution----------------------------------
After putting the .nomedia, you have to clear the data of both gallery and media storage. Then, reboot it and...the problem is solved.
Isn't the file supposed to be named .nomedia?
I'm sure Android will try to read a .txt file, so it wont work to exclude that folder.

it supposed to be .nomedia

I've tried in my SGS2 and it didn't work till I rebooted the phone (maybe the images are cached on boot/init). Could you try rebooting to see if it works?
It should ignore all files and subfolders where .nomedia is placed.
Is this Monopoly youre playing? this also happened to me and I also got the answer here on XDA.
After you put the .nomedia file in the main folder do not reboot yet. clear the cache of both the "gallery" AND "media storage", now you can reboot and see the effects that nomedia has on your gallery.

I flashed my nexus s to 4.1 today. then I took a picture but then I found that..
the picture saved to "/storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/"automatically
what the fresh hell is "/storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/" ? And I am pretty sure I didn't change any setting
Yeah, I haven't checked that in my phone but none of my media files are showing up in stock apps including gallery. There has been lots of threads in forums for the solution and I'm trying those one by one. There are many thread to link. Just google for "media in sd card not showing up in gallery jelly bean" I'm trying a few things. I 'll let you know if it worked.

That will be very helpful ^)^ thanks a lot :good::good:
Are you guys using a custom kernel?
Just snapped a pic and it saved to where it normally does. All my saved pictures are where they should be as well.
It looks like after 4.1 all camera files are being saved in /sdcard0. It shouldn't be a problem if all the files show up in the gallery. If there is a problem, there is a rogue file which is making the media server restart which is causing files to disappear. I did a format on SD and found the file by copying one folder at a time. If none of your files are showing in the gallery, I suggest you put a .nomedia file in all your folders, delete it one by one to find out the rogue file. Hope I had helped.
Hi,
I am not sure if this is in line with what you are saying but during the initial startup after flashing the update the phone finished updating applications then contacts database update and after that went to "media database" update!
I guess there might be some changes in the configuration and the structure of the new release!!

Hello,
I rooted my TF 700 and upgraded to JB, delete loads of rubbish, now the tablet flies. However I got a problem with gallery app:
It dose not show any of the images I copied to tablet, the pictures I took from camera shows up the gallery but other images I copied do no show up.
I tried different galley apps all got the same problem, I tried media rescan app as well did not solve the problem.
Just wandering anyone got any ideas?
You help is much appreciated.
How did you copy the images, and into which folder? Do the files show up in the file manager at the expected location (/sdcard/Pictures usually)?

I copy the files into the same folder as where camera images stores, yes the files show up in file manager and I can open it.

You need to copy to your picture folder (/sdcard/Pictures).
Try rebooting the device. Android does a media scan when booting up, and it should pick up the new pictures at that point.
i am running jb in my note 10.1 using zedomax's apps2sdscript
i found that it was annoying to let the gallery rescan each time i reboot (after swapping storage)
do i have the way to let the gallery scan only selected folders?
thanks

place a ".nomedia" file in every "no-media-folder"
Doesn't work on the JB release for anything that you put in after the initial scan.... Have .nomedia in a heap of folders and it works fine because I don't add to them but as soon as I add another file, whether its pic, vid, or music, it will scan the folder again and find the new files when I don't want them displayed in gallery....
I have some music files I copied to the "Music" directory of my Note. The stock player won't find them. They are all MP3 files. I downloaded a trial of PowerAmp and that won't find them either. I have the card (a 64GB) formatted as FAT32. If I use root explorer I can find and play them manually. Is there a music app I can download that will open and list them normally or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
Silly question but did you put a .nomedia file into the directory these songs reside. If there is a .nomedia file then the music players won't see anything in there no matter what, neither will any other media app, video or pictures won't be found by their respective apps until you use a file explorer to oen them manually...
You may need to go to settings in your file manager and allow to see hidden files....

Thanks for your response!
Yes I saw when searching for a solution that some apps might install such a file but it's not there. I'm rooted and use Root Explorer and made sure that hidden files are viewable. Interesting also that RockPlayer does see and play the files. Any other suggestions? I did also use CWM recovery to clear the Davlik Cache, and also cleared data from media storage in app settings and rebooted without luck. Thanks.
I didn't start having this problem until i loaded an app called "CLEAN SWEEP, and " Whats APP".. does any one of these apps change some properties that are hard to find that now makes any of my pictures i download from my messaging app, or camera go straight to "MY FILES" instead of showing in MY GALLERY like they used to do.

Check the folder where you stored your pics...
For a file called "no media" if u found that delete it...
If this doesn't work delete the . thumbnail folder in DCIM folder.....this should work...
But to see that file or folder.. Hidden files must be shown via file manager...
If you not found that connect ur device to pc or laptop then delete that folder....
Hope this helps

Ok I just want to make sure of no catastrophic failures, lol.. I opened "my files" clicked device storage, and scrolled all the way to last files listed without opening any folder, and I see a file called .nomedia, is this the file? You did say open a folder to find this file, but in this case its not in a folder. 2, I clicked on .thumbnails in the DCIM folder and I see images, when I delete this file, will I now loose these images? I am awaiting further instructions before I do anything, because I have moved to quickly before and lost a lot of images before.. Please and thank you for your assistance.

If u delete images in . thumbnail folder.... Your images will be fine....its just a cache folder which is generated to show images on gallery... Dont worry u can delete it and delete the. Nomedia file....
And u will get your images...
