Has anyone had any luck with this?
I downloaded the ZIP file of LG V30 stock apps and dumped the Cloud apk and odex into /system/priv-app on my V20 for kicks. When I booted back up, it was actually integrated right into the native File manager, Gallery, and Music apps
The only problem is it's dog slow. I can actually get a FLAC file playing from OneDrive but the Music app becomes completely unresponsive and the phone heats up a lot. Music eventually will FC.
I tried poking around in the manifest but I don't really know what I'm doing or looking for. I'm thinking of a bounty too. I'd keep using CloudPlayer but it only works with Android's resampling, checked the audio dump and it's going through the mixer instead of direct like LG Music.

So I installed jelly bean when it came out. (Codename Android 3.6.0 at the time of writing, but the problem persists regardless of the specific rom I'm using). I noticed that none of the music players available in the play store can find my music on my sd card. They are all in a folder named mp3, but I even tried renaming it to music - no luck. Also, the only pictures I can see in my gallery are the ones that have been made since the installation of the current rom. Does anyone have an idea how to force the mediascanner to actually scan my media? Damn, I want my media so bad

I have no idea why your music isn't being picked up. That's usually never an issue. Maybe someone else can chime in.
As for the gallery pictures not showing up. Just download Quick Pic from the Play Store. The default Android Gallery has been crying to be put of out of its misery for awhile now. It's terrible and slow. Yes, you can transfer pictures to your device and the gallery will take 5 minutes to eventually display them. Quick Pic is superior and will instantly pick up any pictures you add. No waiting involved.

Thank you for the tip, QuickPic actually solved my gallery issue, what still remains is the music list not showing up in any of the players I have tried... (Winamp, Google Play Music, Apollo, just to name a few)
check if one of the apps in use is the media scanner in a constant state of reboot.
media scanner problems often are caused by malformed jpeg file, the bug usually lies in the Exif information, you can use this tool (http://www.digitalconfidence.com/BatchPurifier.html) to remove Exif information from the file, 95% chance that everything returns to work including music and video because the media scanner is shared and if it hangs on jpeg images then can not catalog other multimedia files.
you will lose data such GPS position but the photo itself will remain intact, many have pointed at Camera360 as one of the sources of these corrupted files and I can confirm that.
I got a similar issue before and is solved by copy all media to a pc, delete the files in the phone, then move them back, see if it can help you

That's an old issue that happened to some when they updated to JB back in July. So, welcome to July.

@madd0g you had better stay off the forums, you are completely useless...
If it's not fixed completely, run a search on your sdcard for files named ".nomedia" and delete them.

Alrighty. Just make sure there are none at the root of the SDcard or in folders where you want pictures to appear. Clockworkmod ROM Manager had a bug back a lil while ago where it put some .nomedia files in wrong folders, making people unable to find their music/picture.

This tip helped me and my Note. Thanks a lot. There were a lot of useless .nomedia files in my SD card.
I already had similar question posted. Got no resolution....

Anybody have the solution? I am able to see pictures in gallery and videos on my MX player but no music?
I deleted nomedia (found one) and got rid of rom manager but still my music files don't show up with all the players. I can go directly to media/music via root explorer and play it though.
Go to your apps, find Media Storage, and then clear data & cache.
Download Rescan Media from the play store and run it. Wait for a bit (5 minutes should be good) and if you check in your music player(s) you should be able to see your music.
database or cache that the media scan builds is gone

I have done that and everything works fine. BUT! after a battery change or charge (plug in USB cable) the database or cache that the media scan builds is gone. Deleted or corrupted by something. Its back to the same state, no music, video, added ringtones or pics show until a rescan. What could be deleting it?
I have searched and am sure I have overlooked something here but I cannot seem to fix my factory music player problem (not Google Player). If all of my music is on the internal SD everything is fine but if I move it to the ext-SD, it cannot be found. The Google Player will still play all of my music but I don't care for the interface.
I have tried changing the directory on my ext-SD card numerous times, as well as using different file explorers to transfer the music files. I normally use the browser in Rom Toolbox to do all file transfer/copying and have no issues. I can't even just move the files, I have to copy them paste them in the new dir. and then go back and delete the old files. Can this be a SD card issuse?
My backups have saved and work but this music thing is driving me crazy. I am using a Samsung card with the TAB2 so it's no like I bought a knock off card from some online wholesale site. I know there has to be a simple fix to this but I just can't seem to find it. I am also rooted but running everything stock.
the only time i've seen anything like this happen is if I place a .nomedia file on my SD card to prevent the stock scanner from looking at the SD card for media files (atleast on my old SGP 4.0, thats how it worked). maybe you've done that at some point? have you tried other music players, there are MANY to choose from, personally I find the stock music app to be abysmal, if the ID3 tags are even partially damaged the files don't show up, I use poweramp, it has its OWN media scanner that won't skip files like the stock scanner does.

I haven't thought to look, honestly. I got the tab used at Rent a center, waiting for a new one (fastest delivery seems everyone sold out for Christmas). They let me use this one until mine comes in but was trying to figure it out because my buddy is gonna buy this one when I bring it back.
Different players do work, I use poweramp too but just wanted to see if it's a tab issue, thanks for the help. I pick mine up Monday so I may try an unroot then reset. He may just have to deal though, he's getting a decent (some scratches on back) Tab for 100 out the door.
Hi all,
I recently bought a Nexus and I tried transferring all of my music and photos from my S4 to this phone. It worked except I can't view the photos in gallery. Whenever I download new pictures or music to my phone, the gallery and music apps do not update their libraries. Is anyone else experiencing this and is this a known issue? Does anyone have recommendations?
Thanks!
EDIT: I feel like such a noob. Lol. I forgot all about the ".nomedia" folder I created and every time I copied my files, I always ended up overlooking that folder. Anyways, it's fixed now.

As of yesterday I am having this issue. The gallery is showing no photos even though the files are there when using a file explorer.
Also the ringtones are no longer detected in the ringtone folder which meant I missed a few calls as the ringtone defaulted to "no ringtone"
I have tried downloading a few apps that force a media rescan but these all crash due to the way kitkat 4.4 now only allows system apps to call a full media scan.
Hi guys, i'm here with a problem. So basically i downloaded music from some online site, with my android device. Everything worked fine, but then i though i should transfer music to another folder, cause i could accidentaly clear my download folder. So i did it, and now my music player is not finding my music.
I tried:
*Transfering back to original directory
*Clearing data, restart
*I'm unable to find any nomedia file
*I tried different music apps.
I really hope that someone can help me with that. Btw i'm using 4.4.2 android kitkat
EDIT: So i feel like i'm the dumbest person in the world. I checked my music files, and realized they dont have any extensions. Somehow the extensions got erased when i was moving my files.
All of a sudden my sms notification sound doesn't work anymore. I try to look into it, finding out that the file is still in the Notifications folder and evetything, only to discover that in Play Music all my music library is also gone! Simply vanished! Of course, all the files are still on the device, accessible and playable through the file explorer (even with Play Music), but in the library they're nowhere to be found. None of them. Also, when selecting a notification sound in the (default, preinstalled) messaging app, I just don't see the 3 files that I myself have put in the Notifications folder.
I've tried re-copying the files to the device and nothing happens. Play music keeps telling me to copy music on my device via USB ..
I'm running Cyanogen OS 12, all stock, but this happend in medias res, so to speak, I've been using the OS since it finally came out. I've been looking for an in-call sound recorder though the other day and tried a few (none of them working properly), tried different settings in them. Might this have been the cause of my troubles? Also, please someone help me how to sort this out, it's driving me crazy!
Edit: I have now tried to reinstall Play Music and the BS Player, in hope that maybe I will have some drivers reinstalled and everything will turn out right. Well, it didn't.
This afternoon I found out that not only my audio files, but also my pictures and videos are not recognized by any gallery-software. Not the Cyanogen Gallery, nor the Google Photos app. Nor the camera app. I can still see all the files on the device (I have tons of photos) in the File explorer, but not in the designated apps.

Workaround/Solution:
1. Delete instances of .nomedia files in the root of your sd card
2. Go to Music folder-----Create another folder in the Music Folder----Move ur songs into this folder . Now the files would appear in the multimedia player and play just fine.
3. Similarly create another folder under DCIM/Camera and move ur pics into the new folder. They will now appear in the gallery app.
======
The above is at best a workaround and I still dont know why the stock media players and gallery wouldn't recognise files in the stock directories.
I hope some senior dev or enthusiast may like to shed some light on this issue.

Thank you so much for answering! I was almost set that I'd have to re-flash the rom .. which would be rather inconvenient, as it's my exam period and I really don't have much time.
Anyway, I was thinking - Cyanogen OS 12.1 OTA is just about to be rolled out. Maybe if I wait for it to come out, it would fix my base problem? I know it's not a clean flash, but still..

Do you think it would possible to somehow "reset" the existing .nomedia files? Or if I just deleted them, would they be (properly) reset even if I don't move my media files?
Just thinking Also, would you happen to know where I should look for the .nomedia files in my root? I wouldn't want to miss any.
Hi, I am on different phone and came here for searching same problem. Well in particular your problem, as suggested above, deleting .nomedia files will do the trick.
Download es file explorer and search for ".nomedia" and delete all. Then again perform deeper search and delete them.
Sometimes clearing data of media storage also help(settings >apps>all>media storage>force stop>clear data)
What problem I am facing is, the no media files are keep coming upon restarts. Very annoying and doesn't go even after restored to earlier back up...
Anyone who knows solution for this, his help will be greatly appreciated.
