[Q] Problem on "Photos & Videos" Widget - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

In short, how could i manage what to show on "Photos & Videos" widget
And how could i delete and re-generate the thumbnails?
Long Storys here.
I have these
/mnt/sdcard/Music/AlbumA
/mnt/sdcard/Music/AlbumB
/mnt/sdcard/Music/.nomedia
But when i copy a new album from PC containing pictures thru USB MTP
i.e. /mnt/sdcard/Music/AlbumC/Cover.jpg, Back.jpg
The Cover.jpg and Back.jpg are showing on the widget.
But AlbumA, B and C do not show up.
Of Course, I want to hide them.
After a few boot, they disappear.
And the most critical problem, the widget cached my online comic reader cached file...
The comic seems to download the pictures from web to the phone temporarily, but the widget cached all of them and show them all on the widget!!!
OK, fine, i then go clear the comic ready cache.
But the cached images are still showing on the widget.
And i found there are thumbnail on /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnail
After i delete all the thumbnail...
The widget shows a lot of broken images icon...
And also don't work on deleting the files in
/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.sonyericsson.gallery/
/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.sonyericsson.advancedwidge.photo
How could i regenerate and fix the widget
Apologize for my poor English.
Thank you very much.

Sorry here is little update
- There are 36 broken images shown on the widget (Bottom right in the capture)
- 36 broken images are scanned by the gallery (Left in capture)
- The gallery scans a folder contains 36 images without folder name (Middle in capture and middle folder), tapping menu and the gallery will force close
- QuickPic show the image detail that is path "/" of size -1 (Top right in capture)
Kindly please advise what should i do.
I am very confuse.
Thank you very much

I have the same problem. Image cache from some app is being indexed by gallery and showing up in gallery and the widget.
Same deal gallery force closes if you want to check info. No useful info in quickpic.
SDRescan does not fix this.

try a program called "3d cool gallery" from google play...download it and it may fix your problems...

I guess that is the default gallery app in SXS.

This is an alternative to the stock gallery.
Using this could "hide" the problem but not actual fix the problem.
Also, the "File Expert" having a shortcut to show all images on the device and it also show the 36 broken images
For all of your information, I tried the following steps:
1) re-move all images from internal storage and reboot and reboot and reboot, nothing happen and the broken image still showing
2) remove cache also (gallery and widget cache), rebootsssss again. same result
3) format internal storage .......rebootss.......the broken images still there, the gallery still showing 36 broken image on an empty named folder
4) setting>privacy>reset setting....rebootsss........SAME!!!!
5) Factory reset......... then the problem gone......
I am guessing the stupid sony media scanner scans some images that is on the phone storage and could only accessed by root (or could access previously but not now, let says some apps/uid removed already)
Still, don't know a exact solution for that.... sigh...

Damn, sorry for reviving the dead without actually helping - after posting I've read again and noticed deleting data/com.sonyericsson.* cached files did not help to the OP (worked for me).

Hi dtsouers,
You have created a little tiny tool that helps to organize things better.
One question from me for what i have found on your website:
>>P* is the Programs folder located in StartMenu
>>If nothing is specified it will go into the StartMenu
It is possible to move links to P*?
Sample: the *.lnk it is in the main directory of \startmenu\programs.
Now i will move it to \startmenu\programs\sample_dir.
Great app! Now only if it looked and functioned a little better.. I'd cook into into my ROM for good.
First you need to use the Category Editor to create sample_dir in P*.
Once that is complete, find your link in the list and change the category to sample_dir.

I have it installed to my storage card, what is yours named?
Do you have a bluetooth sharing folder on your device? I've seen a issue where sometimes that folder is not always accessible and can cause errors when I traverse the file system.

Hi dtsouers,
thanks for your aap update. I go to test this today in the evening in our time zone ;-).
REPORT:
Installed on the memory card. Program's 1st start needs a little bit more time.
I think it is the link searching function?
Updated:
I have to update my signature.
Now i have running the newest official htc ROM. This comes later on the day.
I will report later the rest of my tests, but so far so good.

How I fixed a broken note (can't open it, stuck constantly saving)

I had trouble with a note that crashed while recording and since then it wouldn't let me back into it. It just continually had the syncing icon in the middle of the note and when I tap on it to open, a toast message appears saying saving.
I have seen posts from others where they fixed a broken note by opening the note on another device that you sync your Evernote with, rename the tile or move the note and that fixed it.

Just ran into an issue where the app crashed while saving a note, and now I see the saving icon on top of the note, and if I click it nothing happens except I occasionally get a toast that says saving. I tried rebooting too. Going to try moving it around on the desktop and see what happens after a sync.

Update, editing on my PC by moving and changing the title seem to fix it.

Unfortunately for me though, my broken note was not synced to Evernote so I could not open it on another device.
Thank's to kool2zero who posted this reply from HTC because that helped me fix the problem.

Update from HTC regarding using notes offline and trying to sync an bunch of pictures and notes:
I understand that you would like to know if there is a way to retrieve a note that was apparently deleted from your HTC Flyer before it was able to sync. I tried to duplicate this issue by disabling Wi-Fi, creating four new notes with pictures, then reenabling Wi-Fi and attempting to sync but I was unable to replicate the issue. Your best bet for seeing if the notes are still cached somewhere would be to download a file explorer, such as Astro, Linda or ES File Explorer and search the contents. You may want start by looking under SD Card> .data> HTC Notes or if you know the name of the file you lost, try searching by the file name using the file explorer.

This is is a guide how to do it the way I did:
I basically went to the .data/HtcNotes folder on SD Card, found the files for my broken note, created a new temporary note, and overwrote that new note with my broken one.
* Create a new blank note on your flyer
* Record a few seconds of voice on that note (optional) only needed if your broken note has a recording on it you need to recover too (this is so it creates the.amr file to replace)
* Plug Flyer into a PC in Disk Mode (or use a file explorer app like htc suggest)
* Browse to .data/HtcNotes directory (see attached screenshot)
* Find the folder and files related to the broken note (tip: the folder should have the same 'modified date' as your broken note)
* Copy the folder to a temporary location
* Find the folder and files related to the new blank note
* Overwrite the blank note files with your broken note files, Note: make sure the filenames of your broken note are renamed to the blank note's filename
* Disconnect from PC and open notes app on Flyer
* You should now be able to open your note and sync it to Evernote.

It worked for me but I accept no responsibility if you loose your notes, any loss of data or any other problems at all if you try this.
Hope this helps anyone else who has trouble with notes
Thanks very much for the tip. Had been struggling for quite long. I had recorded a couple of interviews and as the recordings were quite heavy, the HTC Notes app was crashing. The note wasn't even syncing with Evernote too.

Where Does MetaMorph Store It's Files

Can someone please tell me where MetaMorph stores it's files/images once it loads a theme/etc.?
I'm not talking about "/AndroidThemes",..I'm talking about where it stores everything once it unzips a theme or lock-ring or whatever...
I installed a battery zip a while back and now they battery image just shows up randomly every once in a while...I wanna remove it from the device comletely & don't know where to look...
thanks.

I think you misunderstand how Metamorph acts. It actually changes permanently your patched system files to theme your apps. Depending on which part you are theming it patches different files.

ahh...I obviously did misunderstand....I figured there was a folder somewhere with all the files/images in it.
..I notice when I flash a new lock-ring, in my image gallery there's the lock-ring image and a "drawable-xhdpi" & "drawable-hdpi" images...that's what gave me the idea there was directory somewhere storing files...
is there a way to make the battery image I flashed a while back stop showing?

That's likely an extracted zip from Metamorph. I think I misunderstood your question.
In light of this new information, you can long press the image file, then press the context menu button then Properties (last menu) and at the bottom of the dialog window you should see the path to the file. You can navigate to this directory using a file browser and create a file named ".nomedia" without the quotes. This will make the media scanner not scan this folder and thus you won't see it in the gallery.
Example:
File is located in /sdcard/Metamorph/theme1/folder
Create a .nomedia file in /sdcard/Metamorph/
Everything in this folder and the folders in it will not get indexed.

I appreciate your help!
this explains alot, but the problem I'm having is (see screenshot below please) on the top-left-hand side in the notification bar you'll see the small blue battery icon..I flashed that through MetaMorph maybe 2-3 different ROMs back, I'd say at least 3 weeks ago, and, at the time, the battery icon didn't show for some reason....and hasn't since then...
now it just showed up out of nowhere
I flashed a new ROM a few days ago (battery icon did NOT show up then) and then last night it just showed up....outta nowhere...
I want to get rid of it but, unlike the "drawable" lock-screen images in my image gallery, this actual icon/image is nowhere to be found (or seen)...
is there a way to remove it?
I mean I thoroughly wipe the cache(s) & system a few times before each new ROM so it kinda has me confused why it just showed up all of a sudden...

If you've flashed another ROM then that's not coming from anything you've done with Metamorph. The system files that would have been modified would be gone.

that's exactly what I thought....I checked the OP for the current ROM I'm using and there's nothing about extra battery icons....the ONLY time this icon was ever on my phone was back when I flashed it a few weeks ago...and then it didn't show after the flash....

[TRICK][GUIDE] How to stop creating Huge Thumbnail file in "DCIM/.thumbnails" folder

[TRICK][GUIDE] How to stop creating Huge Thumbnail file in "DCIM/.thumbnails" folder
This guide is for the people who wants to save their sd card memory space
The Problem:
As experienced users in android, you may have noticed that android gallery app is creating a huge thumbnail file in "DCIM/.thumbnails" folder on your sd card. In my case it is more than 1GB. I tried deleting it. But, it is getting regenerated after some time. So I searched for a method to stop creating that file to save my sd card space and found this trick. This method may not be a 100% permanant solution for this. But so far I haven't got that huge file in my sd card. Here's the way to do the trick,
Solution:
1. Go to "DCIM/.thumbnails" folder of your sd card and copy the name of the thumbnail file.(mine is " .thumbdata3--1967290299")
2. Now select any unwanted file or take a copy of any file and rename it with that thumbnail filename.( .thumbdata3--1967290299)
Note: Select any small file that you can find in your device. ( I took a 5kb file)
DON'T GET A 0kb FILE!!!
3. Now replace the original thumbnail file with the small file that we renamed.
THAT'S ALL!!!! YOU HAVE DONE IT!!! :good:
Bug: This method only works until your gallery is updated. (by adding new files to an album)
If you like my work, don't forget to hit the THANKS button!!!
Is it ok if i delete all thumb pict in that folder?
sent from my white Satsuma Billabong edition
no problem. you can delete everything in it
awesome method, bro. thz. looking for this too!

I have simplest way, just delete your xperia galery and replace it with quickpic
Currently, my method is the best solution for generated huge thumbnails file in DCIM folder. Why?
Because it will not regenerated any thumbnails file anymore. In my case, the thumbnails almost reach 3GB.
Just need root phone and FolderMount app.
In FolderMount app, click add button. Just put any name in name field. In source field, select folder where thumbnails file generated.
After that, in destination field link it into system directory. After that click save. Here as example:
Why system directory? This is because the system is read only. Without mount read and write, the thumbnails cant be generated. So, dont worry about your system directory being filled by thumbnails because it will not generated thumbnails file anymore.
What about gallery? Does it run properly?
It still working as usual. But it may slow down the loading of picture after every boot.
Dont forget to set to run after boot in FolderMount preferences.
This method should work on all Xperia smartphones with stock album app.
via Tapatalk.
could this be another solution:
my phone is rooted. will replacing the stock gallery and vid player stop the thumbnail files from being regenerated?

I think you have to disable media scanning also for that
for videos I prefer to add .nomedia file in the folder and browse them and open with any file explorer manualy. it's also available to hide some specific video folder
Alternatively, what I did was
SETTING -> STORAGE -> MAKE MORE SPACE -> UNINSTALL APPS
Wait till all apps been listed out then BACK, this will remove the thumbdata file. Don't ask me why, just by fluke...
I'm using HTC One S.
A Solution that works, NO ROOT
Just found this:
Using any file manager (I used ES file manager) rename/delete the .thumbnails folder and then create a new 'file' by the very same name: .thumbnails. After this I am not seeing any thumbnails created. Also the impact on gallery is not all that bothering.
Honestly, I do not use the default gallery much, but when the photos change, thumbnails are still getting created, probably when new images are added. But this certainly seems to put a stop to it.
I uninstalled gallery on my phone (galaxy s blaze, rooted with ics 4.04) and .thumbnails still gets recreated every few days. I will try deleting .thumbnails folder and making it a read-only file.
Hi there , i got same problem too , i have found that its not my gallery cause i disable the gallery but still phone is making a huge thumbnail..
i had solve this before with using quick pic app witch makes its own thumbs in other way of making thumbs.
But any other application like whatsapp messaging or xplore file manager that trays to make a thumbnail will fail like that. And other apps is not working normal because of no space left. I also used you solution but its being replaced with same name and size of space free left.

To change this icon go to com.android.systemui (in .hwt file) and there /res/drawable-xxhdpi folder. Put here ic_onekey_widget_preview.png and ic_onekey_widget_shortcut.png with icon you like.

Unfortunately, it didn't work
First, there was no " com.android.systemui " in stock theme (Stone.hwt) so i did put that two .png file inside " com.huawei.android.launcher/res/drawable-xxhdpi " (no luck)
Then i made " com.android.systemui/res/drawable-xxhdpi " and did copy there but still it didn't work. Probably i am doing something wrong because i am newbee.
Beside that still all icons except google apps and whatsapp changing but not them

Ok, let's try again - download the com.android.systemui file from my link:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=13EbXG5x2O_4GcV3rrf63rDfGpxIGvzwA
Replace icons inside and put into .hwt file.
BTW - you can always download one of my themes (link in my signature) and you can find in some of them correct icons names for google apps or whatsapp.
I dont know how to thank you but it worked with your file, thank you very much @mr.mrcn
For google apps and whatsapp, i am basing your " XDA Exclusive for EMUI 5/8 " theme.
Only difference is, you have more than one png files but i am using only one png for each app, icon names are correct.
I thougt this is because you are theming also apps, should i use multiple names for same icon like you?

For app drawer icon; If i am not mistaken it's going inside " com.huawei.android.launcher/res/drawable-xxhdpi ".
But i could not find the correct icon name
Edit : Found it, maybe someone else also can need it;

Hello everyone and thank you for the thread so far. I know this post is a little older but hopefully you still know how you did your magic with the themes
I wanted to edit the app drawer icon just like you on a stock theme. I pulled the stock theme via adb but when I try to save the changes via Huaweis own hwt Tool it gives me many errors and it won't save (because I don't have all icons for the apps for example).
On the file explorer of my phone I can look into the. hwt file but I can't edit it. what do you use to edit it?
kind regards
