[Q] why isnt my s3 reading my sd card after flashing new rom - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I got tired of looking for a Q&A thread for my issue so i just created this one. I just installed "[ROM] [LOTK] [OFFICIAL] [Nightlies] [6/12/13] [d2vzw] PAC-Man ****HELLO HALO****" and was wondering why my pics arent displayed in my gallery? They are still on the SD card, but can only access them through any file manager app.

Did you disable your media scanner? That's what's responsible for making them appear in your gallery.
Reboot your phone and let it sit for an hour, allow the scanner to do its job and they should appear in your gallery. If you used an app to disable it, then re-enable it first.

Honestly I wouldn't know a way to disable the media scanner, so I doubt I did that. But I would like to know how to check to see it the media scanner is enabled.

Maybe try a different gallery, try quickpic.

Then you didn't disable it, download media scanner from the playstore and force start it. Once it finishes scanning it'll add whatever pictures you have to your gallery

So I downloaded Media Scanner by Clypher and that didn't do anything. I switched back to a different ROM a my pics are displayed in the gallery. I've owned several other phones that I've rooted and never come across this issue. I was beginning to like that PAC man ROM too.

::sigh:: actually my GF's junk.
This is the way Android camera was designed, to give you a quick jump between camera and gallery. If you don't like it - there are plenty of replacement camera apps on the market, check them out.
You could move the pics and vids to another folder, and disable the folder in the gallery app (push menu button in gallery).
Or read this for more tips: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/hide-private-picture-folders-gallery-android/
your just using the wrong app -
Search for "audio manager" - it is a blue music sign with a orange one on the back,
go into this and you realise it is called hide it pro - download it,
simple to use and works perfectly

pretty sure those will show up elsewhere like in the gallery unless you hide the folder - put a period in the beggining of the name - example .xxxpics

Or put a file called .nomedia in the folder, it won't be scanned for media files by any apps.

He is quite correct, the stock Android camera-app does feature the small thumbnail picture for quick gallery access. I see it on my Nexus One right now.

[APP] Google Music 4.0 ICS

I don't know if its OK to post this or not if not please delete the thread.
Anyways for those that haven't seen it this is the supposed leaked new Google music 4.0 app for ICS.
I take no credit for this app. I did not make it or modify it in anyway. Although I do intend to theme it soon.
Push to system/app with a file explorer of your choice.

Worked great for me!
No need to push it. Just straight adb install worked for me. I'd assume then that you can just install the apk since its pretty much the same thing.
Either way thanks. It looks pretty nice.

Yeah I assumed you can regular instal but didn't try it. I just usually copy paste my off market apps.
There is a leaked version of goggle+ 2.0 I can post too if y'all want it. I don't use it but if you want it and can't find let me know.

Thanks for posting the tour, what theme are you using in that video?
So what this does is it allows you to listen to the music that is on your computer via Wifi or your phone's data?
And what happens when you click on a song and make it available offline? Does it download it and save it to your phone's memory?
Can you post the Google+ apk

It's a music player. It replaces the stock, boring Android music player with something decent.
And I believe the "Available Offline Option" is to save songs from Google Music Beta to your phone so you can listen to them when you're not on WiFi, or if you don't have a data connection.
Is there a way to change storage for this player? I use internal SD for my system, and after I installed this player, it uses my internal storage to save all of the songs for the offline mode.

Really digging the new UI on this. Gingerbread was when Android started to catch up with iOS on looks, and this is even better.

This player sucks doesn't give option to make/use mp3 as ringtone like stock or MIUI player
I like this app a lot. It installed perfectly fine alongside the CM7 music player.
Screenshots?
Can someone post screenshots of this player just to see how different it is from the stock player
On miui it installs fine but doesn't synch music for some reason. Any ideas?

How to keep folders/images from showing in gallery???

Music folders album art shows up as well as some other stuff. For example, some apps keep a folder on the sdcard for thumbs etc. I tried copying a .nomedia file from one folder to another and that didn't work. Anyone know?
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
Any folder that you don't want to show up in gallery just put a generic file in there named ".nomedia".
Well on Supreme Sense v8, all you have to do is hit menu then the show/hide option and you can select what folders are to stay visible and which ones are to be hidden.

Did you go into the app called dev tools afterward and run the media scanner? The phone doesn't scan everything immediately and if you force a rescan it will refresh your gallery. This is what I do in cyanogenmod anyway. Rebooting the phone would probably do the same thing.

[Q] Disabled Google plus? Photos get deleted!

If I freeze Google plus, and press the back button from within the camera,l app, my photos get deleted.
Any way to fix this? Seems the stock camera is looking for the Google plus photos app, which deletes the photo since the app is disable.
Thanks in advance.

Don`t think so, foto`s is part of Google+.
There's no way to fix it - they're one and the same I tried doing the same a while ago. As of now I'm just hiding Google+ in my launcher... Photos is too awesome to get rid of
Any way to remove the shortcut for photos from the stock camera app?

Delete google + off the phone and it will go away. I deleted a bunch of Google Apps that I did not want. Hangouts,Google+, amongst others. PLus if anything I would rather download and install then have installed as system app.

What I don't understand is how this has a different effect than disabling the app via settings.

Wallpaper changer app.

As the title says, I'm looking for an automatic wallpaper changer app. Must have the usual stuff; time presets, pointing to custom folder, etc.
But the most important part, also the reason why I've resorted to asking here after spending countless hours at the play store, is an app that allows me to customize each photo's alignment. My photos are mostly out of alignment whenever I use the more popular wallpaper apps out there. So I'm looking for one which allows me to preset the view for each photo before I let the program run.
Anyone with a suggestion?

I thought this app use to be a lot better. Older versions allowed you to create folders, then use a file explorer to manually add pictures from different folders. Now you can only select pictures using the gallery. I liked the file manager method

Maybe we're using 2 different apps. When I click on "add image" I don't see any option for adding images to my folder using ES File Explorer which is what I use.

That's what I see too. The file explorer comes up when adding a folder so I see your point now.

I'm using muzei with local files for this purpose. If you don't like the blur & dim effect you can disable it!
