Hi. Just wondering how to hide a pic or gallery folder on my rooted 4.3 note2? I have root explorer and Astro file on my phone. I tried moving the pic files to another made up folder but they keep showing up in the gallery. I dont want easy access to certain pics if someone pics it up and starts looking around. Kids etc. Thanks

May be a question that has been asked before but how can I organize my pitcures. I created new folders and move the pictures to those folders but when viewing on my phone they are still all in one big bunch. What am I doing wrong?
Hmmm...this is how I organized my pics. Created a folder named MEDIA. Inside this folder another one named PICTURES. Inside this one created others for the different types of pics I have. Example: Android. Wallpapers. Wedding. Chics. Football...etc etc.

Try "JustPictures" from the market. IMO it's a lot better than the stock gallery.
Quickpic is even better and lets you hide folders you don't want to see.

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.

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.
Is there a way to hide or not show each and every image file on my phone in the gallery app. Gallery app shows not only pictures taken with my camera and albums but also images from all my apps installed. Thanks
Put a .nomedia file in folders you don't want shown. If you're unsure what that means, search for .nomedia.
I suggest that you look for an app called quickpic on the market to replace the stock gallery. Once you start using it you won't ever go back to stock. It has the functions which you need.
Thank you guys, I'll try both.

Been using Quickpic now for a long time and it's the best there is.
I'm surprised Google didn't buy this app and add their own tweaks to it as the stock gallery app isn't up to much at all.
Start any folder name with a full stop and it won't be shown in gallery even if file explorer is set to show hidden files

Has anybody gotten the stock Google Gallery App to work? Or have a better alternative?

In my opinion, QuickPic is the best gallery app and it's free in the market.
Google's Gallery 3D works. The stock Moto gallery isn't actually bad if you use ADW or Launcher Pro to create a shortcut directly to the camera roll instead of that terrible landing page that shows when you open it normally.

Yes, I agree with skycamefalling - QuickPic is definitely the best gallery app and I've tried a lot of them.
I couldn't get the Google Gallery to install. Where did you pull the apk from?
I like QuickPic too but it doesn't pull in my Picasa galleries, and that's where all my pics end up.

I wish QuickPic supported accessing my MotoCast files. Til it does that I'm stuck using two applications.

Here's a Gallery 3D .apk that worked for me. Forget where I got it from, probably just searched for it once I realised the stock gallery was nearly unusable.
thanks! Worked great.

Does anyone have a hacked camera apk that allows you to link directly to gallery 3D instead?
Right now, if you try to take a photo with the camera and click on the picture, it says media gallery isn't installed. This is because i froze the moto gallery. I want to try and link the camera to use the gallery 3D for this instead.
Quickpic is my favorite gallery app.
I agree Quickpic is the best!
I prefer gallery 3d

I have another question which i find is not answered or I have overread: In the Folder "All Pictures" can I hide the pictures that I don't want to see? I have some apps and stuff on SD and all those pics are showing in this folder (and these are lots..). And is it possible to add a folder for the cam pics (so the cam pics are actually added when taken instead of going to the "All pictures" folder?
You can add a separate folder inside your picture folder (give it a name like "Private") with Astro (or some other file program) Inside that folder add another empty folder and name it .nomedia
Add the pictures that you don't want to display to the "Private" folder that contains the empty .nomedia folder.
Your gallery app will scan the folder, and any folder that contains a file with the .nomedia tag will be skipped.
The only downside is that to view anything in that folder will require you to either delete the .nomedia file, or you'll have to manually view the files in Astro or some other file explorer.

Hey you guys,
I am looking for the Folder where the current Wallpaper is saved.
I just "downloaded" a picture by setting it as my current Wallpaper. No other option were availaible. I want to save it in my gallery. Where can I find it in the filesystem.
Would be nice if someone can help me out.
Best S
Should be in the downloads section. You can find it from the apps list (app name "Downloads") or with file manager, look for the folder called Downloads.
This thread should be moved to Q/A.

Sorry that I put this to the wrong section. Thanks for moving it in advance.
The thing is that it's not like downloaded. So as an option there was only set as wallpaper. So I think it is like in the case when you set a Wallpaper in Windows out of a picture viewer. Hope you understand.
So I need to find the folder where android puts the actual wallpaper.
System/etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/wallpaperpicker/wallpapers look inside it..
And u need a rooted device to see that. Use Root Explorer..

Found it in: data/data/com.android.settings/files
Filename: wallpaper
It is without extension, but when I renamed it to .jpg it was the pic I was looking for.
Luckily I could use the search of the total commander. You can set a filter that you just want files changed within the last minute. So I didn't had to go through thousand files.
