Does anyone know if there is a setting that will change which directories, or show certain folders, images, or anything?
seriously. I wanna text a pic to someone and i have to sift through EVERY damn image ive ever viewed on the device, whether it be in app or browser.
Sounds like Gallery might be reading your cache folder or something. You can try and locate it and make sure it has the ".nomedia" file in there or add it yourself. That will stop Gallery from reading the images within. Easy to do, just make a folder in any directory where you don't want the images to be shown and rename it to .nomedia
so, should i just make a random file named .nomedia? or a FOLDER named .nomedia? or rename the folders in question .nomedia?
either use notepad ++ to make a blank file with the name .nomedia
or if you want to exclude a folder put a "." with out the quotes at the front of the folder name. it will not be scanned by gallery. so you can hid your porn in a folder and not worry about it
...and that is what i am trying to hide lol...cause my boss at work was looking in my phone and she saw alot of pics....of me...and yeah...now she looks at me weird.
trololol, you can always say " hey im a guy, and im straight or its going to be gay porn in there instead "
Hahahahahaha yeah you need to fix that

Ummmm ... if you're gonna store pics of your junk on your phone (which is a bad idea in the first place) and then let your boss play around with your phone (another really bad idea) then -- for the love of God -- go to the Android Market, download App Protector Pro (an app that every single Android phone user should have), and lock your gallery.
I use that app to lock my email and text messages . I don't lock my gallery, but then again I don't store incriminating photos on my own phone.
And please, please, please ... don't show your phone to your Mom.

hah yeah. someone earlier said she had a me gusta face...that kinda described it lol. I dunno man. Would be nice. lol. thanks all. Ill try doing this nomedia thing then report back if it works/dont work.
remember to reboot the phone. and download notepad ++ to make the file. using regular note pad may not work
or
Old thread but here is a no Computer needed option:
Download ES File explorer (its free)
Install and open it
Navigate to the folder you want to exclude (remember it propagates down e.g. if you place it in the root of SD then the whole of SD is excluded including all the sub-folders)
Press Menu and select "new"
Select "File"
Call it .nomedia
Rescan your memory Cards

So someone named "superthrust" is worried about pics on the phone?
atleast the name was not analthrust...
I use QuickPic, and it gives you the ability (if you long press on a folder) to exclude it from the gallery view.
My gallery was showing up all sorts of junk from my kindle library and looked a mess.
Now all I see are the folders I want.
Ive been using Vaulty Free. It hides pics and videos you select in its own folder. It also encodes the images and videos so you arent able to open then using any other gallery or video playing app. What i like most is that fact that even if you put the sd card in your computer the images are still encoded and you arent able to view them. The only downside to it is that you have to wait for it to encode the image you want to hide (no more than 3 seconds).
OP you shouldnt use anything to hide your pics, if anything you should give your phone to your boss with more pics in it, then enjoy your promotion. LOL.

I hated when Android made the move to the 3d gallery. Anyone know where I can get the old version, and if replacing the current gallery will work with it?
I'm hunting down old roms and backups on my external hd now.... curious if others have replaced the 3d gallery.
Please give input!
I found this from CM 5.0.7... which I think is not the 3d gallery. Will wait till I hear from others before I go replacing..... I'm thinking if I use root explorer and move the stock gallery to my sd (for a backup) and drop this is system/app I should be good to go after a reboot... thoughts?
EDIT: SUCCESSFULLY REPLACED THE CALENDAR (IN MY STICKY THREAD), BUT NO DICE WITH THE GALLERY... NO .ODEX FILE I GUESS? WAS NOT SHOWING IN THE APP LIST. SORRY FOR THE CAPS, JUST DIDNT WANT PEOPLE GOING CRAZY WITH THE ATTACHED FILE.
i say do it
i been replacing everything in my vibrant*de-t-mobiled*
just dont delete the file you replace so if it doesnt work just move it back into system/apps folder you wont know till you try hell i bricked my phone once now know how to not do what i had done last time.
please wait 2 seconds for an uncompressed image, or press Ctrl+F5 for original quality page
I guess this would work if I flashed a deodexed stock rom.... anyone know how to swing this stock?
I cant let this die... suggestions?
Correct me if Im wrong but couldnt you just download a G1 rom running 2.1 or 2.2. Most of these roms have BOTH the old Gallery and the new Gallery installed.
This is how I would go about doing it as I like the Picasa functionality of the new gallery. It would just seem better to have both giving you a choice of better image quality on zoom in the old gallery and Picasa integration in the new gallery.
Should just be able to decompile the APK for the old gallery and rename it to Gallery2d or what not, change the icon and you're set.

Im really not big on the 3D gallery either, and thats mainly because 1) i had a mytouch and a mt3gs so it wasnt the smoothest... 2) i have certain directories thats are "private" and its not cool having them popup with mutliple pics.. haha
But on the Vibrant there was so much good to the phone that it outwieghed the gallery thing. Id like a 2D gallery, but I like the Picasa integration too and also wonder how the Camera would get involved with a 2D gallery.

This is a simple fix. Because you are using android you can hide folders in the same way that you do on any Linux system. Simply open your file manager, Astro should work well for this, find the folder of shameful pics, choose to rename it and simply add a period "." to the beginning of the folder name. So if the folder was called shameful-pics the new folder name would be .shameful-pics.
Now that your folder is hidden, the gallery should not pick it up. If you want to view the images simply open Astro back up and brows to that folder and use the Astro photo viewer to see the pics.
Is there a way to prevent certain pictures and videos from appearing in the gallery?
Also can I lock apps to prevent their use.
On my sisters phone the video player says that avatar is locked.
Most of the apps in the market to hide stuff do little more than hide the file by adding a dot to the beginning of the filename and/or changing the file extension to txt. This will hide it from the gallery and video player, but it still will be visible to any good file manager.
The locked thing on Avatar might be due to DRM.

like what t313 said...just add a dot/period (.) in front of the file/folder name. i found that windows doesnt allow me to add a dot ,so i use my file manager(Astro PRO) on my phone to manually rename.
basically your phones gallery will ignore anything with a dot in front of the name. on my phone, i have a folder called .hide. thats where i put files that i want hidden

Just remember that brian_v3ntura said to use a file manager to add the dot, and so by extension this "hidden" folder will not show up in the gallery (or anything that respects hidden files and folders) but will still show up in most decent file mangers.
If you girlfreind/wife/parents/mountain goat happen to snoop around using the file manager they might find that folder you named ".HardCoreDonkeyPorn" so even though security through obscurity almost never works out, it might still help a little to name it something like ".sbin" instead.
One of the reasons to avoid the market programs is because there "hidden" folders stand out a bit when they are named something like ".HiddenFolder" or ".MyVault"
Just something to keep in mind. The long and short of it is, if you don't want CSI to finds it, don't put it on the phone at all.

actually astrology file manager ad supported version and the PRO version has a setting to hide hidden files so it doesn't show up in the file manager until u reenable in settings. or just create a zip file using astro then hide

I did not know this because I don't use it. Does it just create the dot files we mentioned, or does it actually do something special like encrypt it? If it just becomes a dot file then it will still be visible to another file manager, like say root explorer.
Dot files are a standard way to create "hidden" files in Unix and Linux and it goes back over 40 years. The issue is that it fully relies on programs to respect the setting. Even the ls command will show hidden files if you just add the -a switch.
Ty for the tips. One of the things that I wanted hide from the gallery was some apps had their pics show up in the gallery which to me is annoying plus some random album art too. Plus not having to worry about showing pics in gallery to family with some random katy perry pics and gifs is good too.

Then for these casual cases to hide images, the dot hidden will work just fine for you. I do this to hide all my eBook covers from the gallery. For album art, I just embed it in the ID3 tags. I think it is both cleaner and it makes sure the metadata (in this case album art) travels with the file itself, which is exactly what the ID3 tag is for.
The ".nomedia" file in the directory will keep the media scanner from finding anything. That works to keep random junk out of the gallery - but isn't a "hidden" solution.

So I just installed google+ on the phone and tried sharing a specific picture from my phone....
The picture posted ended up being a freaking screen shot of an ESPN bookmark!! WTF?
Has anybody had this problem or is it just a freak accident? I am a lil scared of using it now as there are some crazy ass photos on my phone and I definitely do not want to even accidentally post them.
Maybe I can just put them in a .file but isn't that where they found the ESPN bookmark?

Delete your /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails folder so that it rebuilds. You should be able to verify this is the problem by opening gallery and noticing that the thumbnail of the image you *wanted* to post opens the image of what was actually sent. After you delete that folder and open gallery things should be corrected. It just sounds like the thumbnails may have gotten mixed up.
If that wasn't the problem, we'll go from there.

Ah... this may have solved the problem. Should have thought about that first. It's been awhile since i cleared the thumbnails.
K.... Another issue.
I turned on instant upload to upload all my pics to Picasa.
It ONLY found my fxcamera folder.... I have like 5 folders with pics in them. Anybody know how Google+ instant upload scans the SD card for pics?
EDIT: Solved...
Google+ instant upload looks like it scans in order of folders and uploads the first folder it finds with pics in it... (First time the first folder it found with pics was FXcamera Folder) for most people it would be DCIM. For now I moved all my pics into that folder (DCIM) but I will take them all out once it's done uploading (4G kills it!)
Then from there on it will instant upload anything that goes into DCIM...
just a FYI
Sorry if this is a re post. Is there a way to specify specific directories where the gallery app should read pictures from? The app is now looking through hundreds of music directories and loading album art which I want avoid.

did this work for anyone on the prime? I couldn't get it to work. even with folder checked off then update gallery, it still showed the unwanted pics in there. like I wanted to hide pics from download folder subdirectory miscellaneous. I tried by checking off download folder, didn't work. then tried by specifying the specific one /mnt/sdcard/Download/misc. still no luck
Yeah, didn't work for me either. It said I didn't have the permissions to access the directories (I was trying to do this on a directory in my external storage.)
Any alternative apps to the stock gallery?

no, you place an empty file essentially that is names ".nomedia" in any folder you don't want the OS to scan for media related files and add them to things like the music player or the gallery.
that's what the app does for you, but for some reason it isn't working (i haven't checked to see if it's actually placing the files in the folder, but if it's not then that's the problem)
easiest way is to create a blank txt document in notepad or something, then save it and change the name (and extension) to ".nomedia" and then copy and paste that wereever you want on your tablet.
Exactly. and sorry for that spelling earlier wow... I didn't realize how terrible it was. lol
Thanks alot man
I use Quickpic (on all my Android devices). Lets you choose which folders to include and/or exclude (a must when you have N64oid high res texture packs for stuff like Mario 64 on your device - thousands of tiny image files!).

Quick question do these apps hide the files from the associated programs, meaning i don't want my cover art to show in my gallery but i want my audio player to still be able to find it , seems like these no media file work arounds wouldn't allow that to happen, why can't we have the options to pick media paths for all stock viewers....any suggestions on how to hide from some programs and not others ?thanks for helping me figure this stuff out ...
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
gallery excluder just updated recently but still doesn't work on the prime. I uninstalled it as it seems useless if not working properly.
It's simple as renaming the folders with a . at the beginning of any file you don't want the gallery to read. (ex.- .icons)

Same here....I will try out that quickpic app someone mentioned before. Galary excluder and renaming the files don't work. I think gallery app kinda bugged anyways. Like not all the time pics saved from websites show up there or something. Its weird. But they will all be there if you look in Astro. I think it depends on where its saved originally. If its saved someplace and you move it to the folder you want, it won't show up. If you save it to location you want first, then it'll more than likely show up. Opera mobile good at letting you save stuff where ever you want as it has a mini file explorer pop up once downloading about to begin. The others browsers don't n usually save to download folder.
I've seen several reviews which mention that Samsung's S Planner app is missing from the AT&T version of the Note, but screenshots of the AT&T Calendar app appear very similar to S Planner. Can anyone confirm if there are differences in these two apps or did AT&T simply rename S Planner to Calendar?

Well, you could always get the .apk from the International and install it on the ATT Note once it's rooted since it'll have to be installed in the system/app folder.

Thanks. I just picked up my Note from BestBuy and I think you're right... I cannot get the Calendar to use the date/time in the S-Note memo to set the new event date/time; it just includes the note in the "Memos" field for the event. The date/time you have to set manually.
However I can move events around (in the week or 3 day view) by just press/hold and slide it to a new time.
If you look under /system/app you will see that we have the splanner.apk so I am thinking that the calendar app is just a modified splanner app
Attached are the apk/odex from the Telus version
I'm not 100% sure what the difference is, but on the Telus version of this phone it is called as on the 'international'. I have attached the apk/odex files from /system/app. Feel free to try.

Yes. Move them to your /system/app folder. First you have to rename to ones already in there. Best to just add .bak to the end to maintain their existence. Double check permissions (rw-r--r--). Once you've done all that, reboot your device and they should install automatically like any other system app.
Let us know how it goes.
move them to /system/app, make sure they are 644 permissions (read by all). then reboot.
I have both models and they seems the same to me. When I put my google account in an synced the calendar looks just like the s planner. I also checked to make sure I could convert hand written s memos to the calendar and it works fine.
You know, now that I'm re-watching the YouTube video, they make it a little deceiving. The video makes it look like it recognizes your text and programs the calendar entry based on your keywords i.e. you enter dinner tomorrow at 9 pm and it schedules a meeting the next day at 9 pm with the title dinner. However, re-watching the video, it doesn't actually schedule her meeting correctly she just shoots past it so you can't see that it's not.

Yeah, maybe I was expecting too much, or confused with the Calendar quick add feature. On the AT&T Note Calender quick add will convert plain language to the proper event date and time, but from S Note it doesn't. It does a decent job of recognizing the handwritten note but only places that info in the memo section of the new Calendar event. Maybe that's all the internatiinal S Planner can do as well.

You have to be rooted in order to move a system file. And you would have to be running a file explorer such as ES file explorer with the system mounted as read/write.
If you are rooted, then go into options in ES and put a check next to root explorer and mount system. Make sure you say yes to superuser request. I like to change the home directory from /sdcard/ to just /
That should start you in the true file system and not in the SD card.

So I would move the files from my PC to somewhere on the SD card and then use this Ghost Commander to move them to where I need to in the root directory.

Then select mount system as writable. Also, change home directory to just "/" instead of "/sdcard/". Then you should be able to see everything. Go to the sdcard where the files are... long press on each file and choose copy. Then go back until you see the folder titled "system". Go into that folder then into the "app" folder. At the bottom of your screen there should be an arrow with a box around it. Press that and touch the files. That will copy them to the folder. You should get a confirmation that they copied successfully.
Don't worry about asking too many questions. That is the purpose of a forum, to discus and to learn. Though it could be argued that many people have forgotten that. Ill try to post up some pics as it goes through....

Tried that and am getting - Test failed, this feature can not run on your phone.
So what else do I have set up correctly.
Sorry to be such a pain the ass, I appreciate all the help.

Don't worry about it. As I said before, that's what we are here for. It would appear that based on the response from es explorer, you aren't rooted...
