Hello
I just have a quick question about handcent.
So i saved some pictures that were sent to me and they get saved into the handcent/download folder just fine..i can view it and stuff. But then, when i copied another picture into that folder, it created another duplicate folder + the picture i copied. Now i have 2 folders with the same name and one with the original pics and one with original pics + new copied pic. I then tried to delete the pictures from the original folder and the pix in the new duplicate folder are gone (grayed out box).
Although this is a little problem..im kind of ocd when it comes to organization and the double folder thing just bugs me to no end. I hope someone has suggestions or can point me in the right direction to a solution.
P.S. It is my understanding that you cant pick which directory to save handcent MMS to, correct?

I was just wondering if there was a way 2 hide specific folders from being visible in the gallery. I have like 4 folders of pics i want 2 see and like 35 album cover folders -_- i use the app Album Art grabber and i guess thats what makes so many folders for each album but man this is kinda driving me nuts. ANy thoughts? Thx in advance.
Create a file called .nomedia (no other file names or extensions) and put it into the folder that you do not want to show up in Gallery
Edit: I have attached a zip file that has the .nomedia file inside.

I think you can edit the folder names in a file manager and put a . in front of the folder names and this will make them "invissible"
.foldername
maybe someone else can confirm.
awesome i will try these things! thx! =)

That's correct, just add a "." (without the quotes) to a file name and the folder is considered hidden.
sometimes you don't want the folder hidden completely, for example e-mail attachments to my touchdown app since the app still needs to reference them. The .nomedia did the trick now my gallery does not populate with e-mail attachments or my juice plotter graph images. Thanks!

Several ics revs back I could open the gallery app and it would only show folders with picture files in them. I also had the option to hide folders. Now when I open gallery, it goes and if a folder has any apk's in them it will display the icon picture as well. Well I have a folder with my apk's backed up so it is showing a bunch of icons in addition to my own picture folder. I cannot hide them either. Does this happen to anybody else? I do have the option to delete them. If I delete them, will it just remove them from the album and not delete the actual file?
Do u have an app backup apk downloaded?

You can put a "." In front of the folder name , no "'s to hide that folder, I know thats not the answer you wanted, but hope it helps.

I've flashed CM10 to my SGS3, and when I first began organizing my home screen, I was able to rename folders with no issue by creating a folder and opening it - an editable label with a default name of "Unnamed Folder" or something similar to that would appear once the folder was opened. Suddenly, however, any folder that I create doesn't have a space to edit a name. Now some of my folders have names, and some do not, which looks really stupid. Any advice?
I couldn't get mine to replicate the problem.

Had the same thing. Go to settings --> Launcher --> Homescreen --> Hide icon labels <uncheck>
As long as that option is checked, you cannot label/relabel the folders. After changing the labels you can check it again and you will still be able to see the label, but individual app labels will not show.
when i had my gs2 skyrocket i could long press on the screen > folder > starred contacts
this would automatically create a folder with all my contacts that i had designated with a star. The folder also had a special design to it.
now with the gs3 i can see how to make a folder, np, but the option to create specialized folders like this and for example "pandora playlists" are gone. i cant seem to find that anywhere.
Am i missing something or are these specialized folders no longer available in gs3?
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Stock ATT phone, running 4.0.4
I need to get the MMS photos, as we have a baby and tons of pics have been received.
I can only save the most recent picture in a thread to the galary, if i go back to previous pictures in a thread and hit "menu" i only get the "set picture as" option.
Ideally i was hoping it was just a directory i could grab.
I have installed and ran SMS Backup and Restore, but does that grab the pics?
Thanks

I have always used SMS backup. I back up my text before a reflash and them import them back after. I just went through a few of my text threads and photos are still there. For me..if I long press on the pic I can save it. Im not sure how far back pics are can be saved.
If you wanna be extra safe, just copy the folder containing the pics on your pc.

SMS backup didn't get pics.
The pictures in the SMS messages are not in the camera or picture folder.
Also, does anyone know where in the file system the home screen pic is?
Any more ideas? Thanks again.

You can click the pics and save them to your SD.
Your wallpaper should be stored within your launcher (some launcher do, some don't) so a backup could get it. If that's not what you mean, then I'm not sure I understand your 2nd question.

Only the most recent picture in a SMS thread with a person can be saved. If i scroll up in the conversation to a previous picture, i only get the "set to home screen" option.
Again completely stock SIII.
I'm moving to a note II and was hoping to get this stuff off. Do you know where the stock launcher would store the picture that is set to backround?
Thanks again

I don't, sorry. The stock launcher is TW (Touchwiz). But I dunno if (or where) it stores the pictures. I'll keep looking into it though. Count this as a thread bump.
