About KitKat Media Rescan Widget APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Please note, this widget requires ROOT access, explicitly for Android KitKat 4.4+, since media re-scan now requires system level access as of KitKat.Did you just adb push a bunch of new media files (images / music) to your SDCARD but not seeing them in your gallery app, etc? Don't want to thumb through your app drawer to launch an application to initiate a re-scan? Don't want a force close when / if you do launch?
Give 'Media Rescan Widget' a try! It's the quickest and easiest way to initiate a re-scan of your media files.
Simply add the 2x2 widget to your home screen, grant root privileges after your initial launch, and enjoy an up to date gallery!
Note, this is a widget only, there is NO application icon that will appear in your app drawer.
To add as a widget to your home-screen, look for 'Media Rescan' in your 'choose widget' list.
If you do not have root, the widget, when clicked, should exit gracefully with a message stating 'root is required' and as a result, your media / gallery will not be updated. No need to download / install if you do NOT have root, as the widget will not provide any value.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
