How can i hide some pictures (like album covers) in ICS gallery?
Thanks
In folder where is that pictures make new file with name (.nomedia).
Without ().
Just mew file, not txt, pdf or anything...just file with that name,
Also you can find that nomedia in gameloft games directory so you can copy paste it.

You can also use third application like "Keep Safe"... it is free and simple to use...

That simple? Just make the file in es and move the pics you don't want shown into it? I assume the only way to see them from then on will be through a file explorer?

I use VAULTY you can get it in the play store. Simply open application, scroll through your pictures, select the ones you want to hide and your done.
It even comes with a password protection

How can I put some pictures in my files but not make them show up in my gallery?
Try the free app called VAULTY in the market.

I'm not looking for a app I know there's a way to do this by changing the end extension to something else so gallery doesn't scan it
Thanks anyways
Create an empty file named ".nomedia" (without the "") in the folder you want the pics to be hidden. Done....

Ooooooh k thanks il try that and report back
Using that file will keep all "media" in the folder from showing. If you just want to keep certain pics/media from showing but want others to show rename the pics/media with a "." in front of the file name. Eg. "mypic.jpg" ---> ".mypic.jpg"
Got it worked thanks

Remove the filename extension. Works for me
audio manager is a good app to hide any secret information....
hit the thanks button if i have helped you...
use video vault bro for videos, and photovault for images. Ask me if you want the apk.
Any folder name that begins with a ' . ' (period) wont be scanned by the gallery.

Just create a new file in dat other folder

Well if you really wanna hide stuff even from sdcard, use audio manager by Anuj Tenani ( The name of app is purposely named) .
It works as a audio profiler but once you long press the title of app you go into this secret world.
It encrypts data (with some simple and fast method) so even if someone gets hold of sdcard no worry. You can also uninstall the app(data remains hidden), when you reinstall you shall find everything as it is.
You have to long press the media or folder you want hide > Share > audio manager.
Good things in life are always free.
But if you just want to hide it from gallery use gallery excluder it makes the ".nomedia" files for you. (Restart gallery one or two times)

You can also zip them or add .zip extension to the master folder. Root explorer and astro play the zip directly without Unzipping.

Apending folder with .zip I think wont work, gallery will still show the content because its a folder with .zip in the name not extension.

Just tried after adding .zip to my video songs folder. Videos show in gallery but don't play. They don't play in any video player either.
Deleting the created thumbnails will also solve the problem of showing in gallery.

Agree.
Does anyone know how to create custom sub-folders in the stock gallery?
For instance i need to make a Chicago folder to appear in the stock gallery.
QuickPic works but it doesnt show 3d pics
EDIT- fixed!
You would have to create these sub folders on a pc or with a file.manager as far as I know

Just make a new folder (i use OI) and put any images you want in it and thats it. Just gotta reboot and itll show up
Ctrl folder is a good app. Lets you do it straight from the gallery.

I've downloaded several things from taptalk ans while i know that they are saved i can't for the life of me figure out where they get saved. I can open the folder via root browser to see the contents of the download, but when i try to move the or i press back to get to the parent zip folder root browser just closes.
Can anyone tell me where taptalk downloads are saved? I know i can just open the forums with my browser and redownload the file so i know where it is,but that's a pita frankly.

I believe you can go into settings and change the destination folder for your downloads. As to your file explorer closing when going back to the parent folder, there should be a 'root' setting that allows you to go back. Hope this helps mate.

I have TapaTalk on the phone, not SD. I didn't change the location of downloads in settings. Mine are located in the root (highest level) in a folder called "tapatalk_download".

Here is another trivial one. The sense gallery shows my download folder, which has pictures/garbage from all my exchange email I get in the sense email app. Is there a way to keep gallery from picking up this crap, or change where the sense mail app stores/cache's its images? The .no media file trick doesnt seem to work.

Make a file called .nomedia in the folder. No spaces and nothing else in the file name. Just tried it and it works.

Can you reboot and see if stuff shows up? I still get an "all downloads" section in my gallery which contains a ton of images from html email from the sense mail app. I have the. . nomedia file created as well.

Make sure you have a .nomedia file in the folder with the pics. I made a .nomedia file as shown in the attachment, and that picture immediatly got removed from the all downloads section of my gallary. Rebooted and still not there. Deleted the file and it showed back up.

I downloaded another gallery apps and the no media works, however the attachments were still showing from the email app. Maybe the all downloads folder in the gallery is an aggregate of more than just the download folder on the sdcard? Quickpic suits my purposes though.

It is. It is an aggregate of many download folders.

Interesting, I wonder where the mail folder stores the attachments? I changed the mail app to not store any attachments, and that solved the issue that way too. Thanks!

correct. And if you put .nomedia there and they are in there, it still shows up, which was driving me nuts.

They don't for me. They are hidden when I put a ".nomedia" in there. Make sure you spelled it right and what you used to create it didn't add some kind of extension to it.
