Just put a .nomedia file in the folder where you have the pics and videos you want to hide.
You might already have this file in your sdcard (some ebook reader or other app that has pics not show in the gallery).
If not, just create an empty text file and rename it.

Doesnt work for me... Stil shows the folder.

It definitely works. Either your media files didn't update yet or you don't have a correct nomedia file...

Can confirm. This does work. Try restarting phone.

Tried it with a .nomedia file already but it didn't work. Gonna see if it needs to update though.

Rename the folder to .folder, the whole folder becomes in invisible.
Your other option is to install estrongs security thingy, which allows you lock down apps totally

I found the best way is to create a zip file and store them in that as it cannot see through a zip file. Has always worked for me, hope that helps

Can someone just rename this thread to 'how hide porn and pics of the bird your cheating with'
By the way. The ext partition is a good place to put 'sensitive' material. Gallery wont look there and it wont show up when plugged into a windows PC.

Sound preferences

I accidentally hit manage using astro file manager to manage my ringtones and now I am not sure how to undo it. So any help would be great I've tried cache and dalvik wipe I don't want to do a full wipe if possible

What did "managing" them actually do?

Well now when I try to select a ringtone it just brings up all my songs on the card rather than the list of ringtones I think its something to do with astro manager I uninstalled it and still nothing I would like to just return it to the stock setting

Have you tried creating a new folder on sdcard named Ringtones then copying and pasting all ringtones to that folder then do the same with songs and name folder Music...should recognize each individual folder and keep tones and music separate when accessing them...let me know if this helps prob.

Create folders in gallery

Hi all
I see that I am able to create folders in the gallery app but it is residing in the sdcard folder? How do I change it to external sdcard?
I tried clearing the "miscellaneous files" in the settings > storage and now I lost all those pictures!!

uh..nobody knows?

it would be easier if you create a folder in sdcard, then copy 1 image file into it via file explorer.
It will start showing in gallery, then drag and drop the files into the new folder via gallery only.

Where KeepSafe "hide" images?

Hello,
Is there any way I can find where the images from KeepSafe are stored?
I lost my images from the app, after backup restore, but I suppose I could find them somewhere on the SD card or internal memory?
Could you please help with this.
Thank you.

Hello,

[Q] Calendar storage file location

I wanted to know if anyone happens to know the folder location of the Calendar storage. I want to have Tasker clear that particular folder automatically after a set number of days, but I don't know where that folder is located. I find that in S Planner (also occurred when using standalone Google calendar) that the weather does not properly sync. Only clearing the calendar storage data forces the weather to sync. Any help would be appreciated.

I have not tried this but you can check.
Goto Internal storage/Android/com.android.calender

Thanks, but I forgot to mention before that I navigated to this same folder with ES File Explorer and deleted the contents of that folder. It did not clear the data for calendar storage. Although there were a number of folder entries dated at least a month back in a folder called 'Serial' (only folder within the com.android.calender directory) with multiple directories named like '1122267608' and the like. I even had the view hidden files option in ES File Explorer turned on.
