I'm running AOKP M4 with Matrix kernel.
None of my pictures show up in gallery and none of my music that's on my phone shows on any music app. I've also check through ES File Explorer and they're there
Any help is appreciated.

Download 'rescan media' from play store and run it. Everything should appear after a few minutes.

Go to application manager. Clear the data of media storage. Reboot and wait for half an hour atleast. Also try clearing data of gallery. Make sure the folder where you have your files don't have .nomedia file.
If that doesn't work then something must be really wrong with your rom.

Scrolls the tabs, it's under 'all' tab. Titanium backup should work too.

Do a clean install or try a different rom. This looks like the only viable option now.

Make sure there's not a .nomedia file on the root of your USB storage.

You don't install this like a regular app. Use root manager and push to system>apps. Make sure to adjust permissions.

yea when I changed a main rom app from system/app I went into titanium backup.1)backup system app just in case. there usually in red. 2)I wrote the name exactly like it says on system file- onto the app i am going to replace that I stored on sd card from computer.3)On Titanium I uninstalled app. 4) Paste sd app in system/app folder. Installed. Opened backup in Titanium again so I don't loose it.( Just so you know I did this with a google search widget in system app. I wanted a transparent search. Hope this helps someone

I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly! Thanks for the help.
Here's a new black app that's worth trying out, no grey and looks killer:
Black Google Mobile by bGoog
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bgoog.android.search
Look for an app called custom ICS search, it allows you to create a widget go any color you want.

Hey,
Like the topic says.. just wondering how you go about uninstalling an app you can't see. When I use a backed up apk file to install it, it says it will replace data and such, then I click okay, and then gives me a message, "application not installed". So that's how I know the app is there...
Its just that nothing recognizes the app as being installed. No uninstall app, no system app... anyone know how to get rid of this app by means of file exploring and not wiping the phone clean??
Thanks all.

You would need a root-enabled file explorer such as the uncannily named 'Root Explorer'. Head into system/app and wipe out the .apk and .odex files. If it's not there, it may be in data/app
Good luck!

So if you get a 'this app cannot be installed' error, how do you know it's actually there? You might be on a wild goose chase?

Just because it prompts me that the program will be updated but user settings and data will be saved. Usually if you're just installing fresh it doesn't have a prompt and all you press is install

To remove the notification go to settings/application manager/all/scroll down to software update and disable it.
yeah i found the process in titanium backup and permently disabled it, i am trying to find out where the update has been installed so i can remove that too.

If you have ES File explorer and have all the root permissions checked for the app,I think you could do a search for it if you know what it was called?Or maybe an advanced search in ESF by date?

How do you know it even downloaded? If it downloaded I think it would apply the update immediately.Check in your about settings maybe it is already running the update.OTA updates won't delete your settings or apps or anything like that.

no, it never installed only downloaded because it prompt me to install the update then gave me a option to remind later and then stayed in my notification bar.

Try the DiskUsage app - it may show you where your 400Mb update is hiding.

I used titanium backup. I can't remeber the specific name but it was def along the lines of software package update or upgrade. This was back when I had that 75 mb update that kept annoying me to install every 3 hours.

that didn't work, but i did use a program called file explorer fx and went into this folder here:
root/cache/fota
the file is called "update.zip" long pressed on the file and selected details, it was 400mb, deleted it after that.

For some reason the Camera app on my galaxy 2 10.1 keeps throwing an error when I try to launch it.
It says can't connect to camera and I just get to close the APP.
I tried rebooting the tablet - it didn't help. Also tried clearing the cache for the APP and it didn't make a difference.
Running SlimKat rom 4.4.4.
Can someone shed some light for me on how to fix this issue?

Sometimes (this worked on a different ROM for the 7 inch version, but its worth trying) installing Google camera to system/app and removing stick camera works (always nandroid backup first so if something goes wrong you dont have to reflash.)

Clean flash Kitkat, can't recall if the camera worked or not when I first flashed it but I'm pretty sure it did. So it just randomly stopped.
Where does one obtain Google Camera? Right in the playstore?
And can I just uninstall the stock Camera app using the Dev tools of the rom?

Yes, google camera is in the play store. It actually probably does not need to be installed as a system app. Idk what tools are in SlimKat ATM but I've always just gone into es file explorer as root or used root explorer, mounted / and /system as R/W and deleted the camera apk from /system/app. Then just wipe cache and Dalvik in recovery and reboot. This may or may not fix the problem, but it worked for me. Again, make a backup first.

Don't install it with package installer. If you installed it from the Play Store, cut the apk from /data/app and move it to /system/app and change the permissions to the same as the other apps in folder. Google camera shouldn't matter though.

google camera is not compatible with our tabs....even if you do get it installed its pretty useless IMO. Grab your ROM zip and go into it and find your camera.apk. unzip it to your sd card and then go back in and long press it and reinstall it. It may (did for me) work that way. If not try another (different) ROM. Grab zip file go in and find the camera apk under apps, unzip and then reinstall. NOTE: for me, I had to go into Titanium and completely remove the camera app that i had and then do the above procedure. I trial and errored it and it worked for me. Finally
Edit: and yes, please nandroid backup b4 trying anything

So a lot of apps just refuse to install on my Nexus 5. They just don't install. After I press Install on the permissions screen, it just gives me an error "App Not Installed". I've tried installing from the apk as well. I have tried deleting all the /data folders. I have changed my ROM too. Anyone has a fix for this?

Nope. It was actually something in android itself. Had to change the default app install location from Auto to Internal using the terminal. Since the nexus 5 doesnt have and external SD, apps cant be installed on it but sometimes androids "Auto" install location doesnt work and tries to install apps into the external sd card. Thats why the app installs fail.
