I've noticed recently that there's quite a few people asking how to hide folders on Windows Mobile. There's a few applications out there, but they're either completely overkill (they do a million more things and are therefore massive), or they're not free (or a mixture of the two).
Since I wanted this functionality myself, I decided to write a very simple application to allow me to toggle the hidden state of folders. This application should be considered in beta state, but it works fine for me so far. It's not fancy in the slightest, and I have no plans to make it look anything special, but if I get enough response then I'd put some time aside to "tart it up" a bit.
I'd be grateful if people could let me know of any problems with it. It's targeted for WM 4+ (I have 6.1), using .Net 2.0.
All that aside, I hope some of you do find it useful.

I was recently informed about a review for this application, which can be found here...

Thanks for the great review Ella
Cheers,

Hi,
Works well on my Kaiser (See my sig for the rest of my specs).
Nice little app, I use Resco and Total Commander, so I don't have much use for it, but I'll keep the CAB just in case.
I like the loading when you expand the tree rather than loading all folders at the start.
Ta
Dave
Cheers for doing that Dave - I don't know about you, but I'm always relieved when things work for others!
As for the loading when you expand the treeview nodes, I had to add that because it was taking about a minute to start the program, if it was getting the whole directory structure. The Windows folder alone was taking around 40 seconds!
Anyway, thanks again. I appreciate the test and report
Updated to v1.1. I've sorted the folder lists alphabetically, and I've added an about screen, mainly to acknowledge the guy that made the icons I used for the application.
it didn't work. i set a folder in the storage card to hidden mode bt the folder is still visible! when i use file explorer!
i have asus p320

Hi.
It sounds to me like you've got 'Show all files' enabled. In File Explorer, go to Menu and make sure 'Show all files' is unchecked.
Cheers.
hide folder working fine
working great in htc 3450...
but make sure in file explorer u unchecked show all files....[]
Work well on Xperia, thanks
Great piece of app. Really appreciated. You need to uncheck "show all files" & you will have your files hidden. But the problem I faced is mainly with the Touch commander 2.51 which doesn't have any of this option. I tried this on Resco explorer & files were hidden. So overall w/o touch commander it worked like charm.
Just an humble suggestion John
WHy don't you create an app that could lock files, I mean that could just rename them with ascii letters which can't be opened unless provided password[which would rename the folder again.] I have searched for this kind of app but couldn't find one so your release would be a hit with this function. Thanks allover.

Yeah but still doesnt work successfully. if you use a photo viewing program like resco photo viewer hidden files are still viewable. SKB mobile safety suite locks well, cant see it but takes forever with large files and you need alot of phone memory.
Im sure someone must have a program that has the best of both worlds???
How do i use it???
Hello and thanks for the cab....How do i hide a folder in Htc hd?The program just lets me go through the paths and when i find the folder i want to hide it has to options ...on the left "about" on the right "exit" It does't says anywhere menu or hide.....Any succestions?
Thank you in advance.

thanks 4 the app!
works great on ipaq 600
if it is not to hard can you make the app popup as a combination of hardware keys?
2 make it simple one can select from predefined combination
like: key1&key4 ,key1&key2…. (from settings/buttons)
or if it is not to hard adding read key combination option (in the app settings)
anyway thanks
Edit: to not let it woke in the background the combination will be entered after taping the apps icon (the apps icon says )

Found a program called Hide my stuff v3.6, works much better than this one and the SKB. it truly hides files or all files within a folder, no frills so is very fast to hide, unhide, you can even edit or beam files whilst its in a hidden state etc. found it by chance but works very well.
thank you veru much ! I will try that!
appreciating your help . it is working fine for me
Works great on my BlueAngel..thank you man!

works great!! Thanks
and if could add up some function like that, it would be perfect!! Thanks again
You need AEButtons to assign software to hardware keys. I've never used it myself, but lots of people use it very succesfully.
Hope this helps
Im glad to say that the hide folders works great. Does anybody know a way to hide files (not folders) under the My Device for a WinMobile 6.5? I want to do this to clean the screen and not to accidentally delete files.
The only files/folders I want to see when I open File Explorer are:
My Documents
Storage Card
Hi All,
This is my first ever smartphone app, but it's based on a full-fledged windows app of mine that I've been using for a few years now.
Basically, I like to change my desktop background alot, each time I log on in fact. So i wanted something similar for my phone. Also, I wanted a way of having an appropriately dimensioned image for when the keypad was open/closed.
So I've created this little app for my X1.
What it does is choose a random image from a preset directory (different directory for portrait/landscape images - to allow for correct dimensions - can be the same dir if you're not fussed) and sticks it in as your background image.
Current Features
Random Background Selection
Supports any resolution device
Different Image For Portrait/Landscape mode
Supports Different Directories To Select Portrait/Landscape Iamge From
Preview Backgrounds In The Config Util
Scheduling Support
New Background After Hard Reset Option
Current wishlist
Automatic image resizing/scaling etc
New Background After Suspend
current known bugs
Sometimes unable to delete original theme images - so this still needs to be done manually after each theme change (remove any stwater* files from Windows directory) Might have fixed this. Not sure, couldn't replicate the problem a second time, but there have been appropriate code changes.
In theory if you left the app open for long enough on the appropriate messagebox just before you exit, you could miss your Switch schedule and have to reset it. Highly unlikely anyone will come across this one though!
Hard Reset upodate seems buggy - but could just be my phone taking a while to load up!
Occasionally goes completely wrong on hard reset.

Installation notes:
Copy it somewhere, anywhere, on your Xperia X1 (or other WinMo device)
Run the exe
Please download it and have a play. Any/All feedbacks, criticism and requests more than welcome.
hey graymi really like this app, works exactly how u said it would no problems here, cant wait for you to add scheduling and now i dont always have to switch themes
Sounds good, does it change the wall paper for all tabs?
it changes the phone wallpaper, i dont think it will change the manila wallpapers but i dont have a manila rom to test it on

tabs? Like the xperia button thing I never use? Thought you couldn't change the BG on most of those?
afaik, becuase of the way it works, it'll only change the wallpaper for the today screen. but it'll do it for both screen orientations. (Different if wanted)
good to see some people getting use of this though! Gives me drive to actually put the scheduling in!

Thanks for the appreciation
scheduling works perfectly thanx for the great app
Glad you like it
hopefully i'll have a chance to work on some more features soon.
i have an idea, made you can find a way to create a way to have it switch wallpapers everytime the phone boots, thats would be a great feature
Consider it done
- Updated version available
that was fast, it works perfectly thank you once again
nothing like a bit of 2am VB hacking
I keep getting "An unexpected error has occurred in BGSwitchPPC.exe" error message.

interesting...
I think it's because you don't have any stwater images in your windows directory, maybe.
don't have the source code to hand right now, but I'll try and sort it out tomorrow if I get a chance.
This will be sorted!

honestly, I don't know.
It works by changing the image files used by the today screen, so unless these apps pick up and use the today screen bg, I'd doubt it.
It might be in future I modify the app to do this, but as I use neither program, especially since the win 6.5 today screen, it won't be for a while.
-didn't get a chance to fix above error yesterday. Well, I did have a chance, but I also had the chance to finish Tales of Monkey Island...

Hi Cris,
I am looking for an app that can do the following:
Disable the touchscreen.
Why?
It's annoying when you watch movies and accidentaly touch the screen (especially with core player).
The app would have to disable the touchscreen after a set time, so you have enough to start the movie (or other application).
A certain area of the screen would have to be defined as touchable, so that you can disable again. Maybe with a gesture? ie. swipe from bottom left hand corner to top right???
just an idea

PLUS
The hardware buttons (buttons on the PHONE) MUST be disabled,

Great Greet Giblet
I've actually been pitching this one around but no luck yet ... A small GPS toggle cmd app. Here's an OSS project that may have usefull code.
What I would like it to have is:
1- Commands to toggle GPS on or off
2- Stay running and output number of connected satellites and connection status (position fixed/not fixed) as a reg name/value
3- Maybe other stuff (like coordinates, hour/date, update system time... but what I really want is the first point 1 and 2).
Why would I want such an app? To add a GPS connection manager to my today screen HS++ skin (also maybe make a script that will only launch my device navigation software when it has a position fix).
PS:
Other stuff I'd like to see are either other small cmd apps or small updates/fixes of some OSS apps like GSFinder+ or even emulators (small stuff like adding onscreen controls using existing sources, emulate mutli touch or improving controls by mixing the use of oncreen keys with hw ones or minor GUI standardization and fixes related with new devices screen resolution).

Slide2Action
Hi cris, How about a simple slide to do anything? Just a scrollable list of blank sliders that you can assign a function too, eg launch an app, blank screen, reset, close all, new message, WiFi, bluetooth etc. the list could be endless. Just a scrollable action screen with sliders instead of buttons. Transparency would be a bonus for a nice visual.
well folks, youve given me plenty of ideas.
A few of them ill try to work on, sadly many of your ideas are a little beyond me
Anyway, Ive got some stuff to be doing so I wont be checking out this thread anymore.

Hi Cris,
if you can consider my suggestion to develop a "shopping List" + "Inventory" apps I think is not that difficult to develop. It almost similar to like any shopping list app & you be able to keep track of the inventory list maybe with photo or pic is good enough.
pls do consider this apps, as both iPhone & WinMo still do not have such app yet. If you do build up, you will be the 1st to come out with.

yes let's steal some more apple patents!!! The idea is great! Few months ago I already asked this topic in the S2U thread but no response, probably my request got overseen or the guy is just too busy with other stuff.
Hi,
I did up a home replacement for my Nook simple touch, thought I would share it. This is an initial release, no doubt there are bugs, incompatibilities, etc, you were warned. There are no checks for other devices at this point, NST only.
Thanks to the nook community for the noogie.img file, touch nooter, and relaunch for source code ideas and various threads regarding quick refresh and e-ink support.
Disclaimer: Now, what I am using currently is the bare minimum, I have tried quite a bit of the work in this forum and it works well, but I wasn't satisfied or 100% confident and I wanted less installed. So, I restored my nook to stock, used noogie and copied over a rooted ramdisk. That was it, no touchcolortools, nooktouchtools installed, adw minimal this or that, or button saviors. I am sure they are great programs but I don't know enough about them or have the interest/time to do research on them to want to keep them installed.
For me, the point is to keep things simple and maintain battery life. It's an e-reader not a tablet after all. I just want to read books, check email, check a website or two, get some more use out of wi-fi since I don't live in a B&N supported nation.
To install:adb install EPubBrowser.apk
Optional:
I also installed Email.apk and set up my gmail from there, no certificates required or a million google app files and plucking a chicken on a Tuesday after jumping on your left foot crap. No offense to those who like chicken plucking.
adb install Email.apk
Done and done.
I can do up a CWM zip upon request, but last going off I have a continuous reboot after installing the latest version and if you know enough to get the Nook's CWM installed you should be able to use adb.See attached files.
What is not working:
Since Android doesn't really know about multiple external storage locations (at least for the Nook's 2.1 and/or my knowledge of android) EPubBrowser is unable to detect when the internal storage has been remounted, there is no notification of that, just notification of external storage. So if you plug in your usb cord to the computer the list of books will be empty even when you remove it. So if you don't have an sdcard you will have to hit the back button and launch home again to refresh.
Also, B&N books are not listed, whatever is in My Files will be scanned only. That applies to internal and sdcard storage. You can still use B&N's Library to access those.
I don't have any option of uninstalling apps either. adb uninstall works fine or you can just delete files from /data/app via adb shell.
What is working:
Launch of EPubBrowser via nook's home button, without use of nooktouchtools, it duplicates how the B&N home app works.
The notification icon for resuming reading goes through the app. As long as the book was launched from EPubBrowser it can remember the last book, otherwise the main display will show up. Reason being that for whatever reason the last page read doesn't work with the B&N home screen if it's not a book bought from B&N. But if you are just using the B&N Reader app it's not a problem.
When you are prompted which home you want you can select EPubBrowser and hit default. This may not stay set and will go away the next time you reboot.
How to use:Left / right swipes to go to the next 6, previous 6 books, no indication of the current page is displayed, (e-ink and aesthetics).
Touch a book cover to launch a description of the book, swipe up and down to scroll through the description, touch the cover displayed there to start reading. Hit back button on top of screen to exit without launching a book.
To bring up the list of apps installed, swipe a clockwise circle starting at 10 O'clock. Touch an app to launch it, left or right swipe to go back to main screen.That's it for now.
If you have any ideas for improvements, bug reports, please provide as much detail as possible, and when you have done that add some more detail.
Cheers!
Updates:
2/19/2012:
Added screensaver for last read book. (Jpeg 75%) Settings->Display->Screensavers->EPubBrowser
11/4/2012:
Added src project
Looks nice! I'll give it a shot later when my Nook's charged.
Thank you for making and sharing, i am going to try tomorrow and tell you,
Improvements
First of all, thank you for creating this cool launch screen. I love the simplicity of it. Here are is brief list of improvement that you can perhaps easily implement.
-When on the homescreen with the covers of all the books, I am not sure if I am suppose to scroll down or to the right to view the rest of my books.
-When on the page with the details from the book, there is no back button to take you back to the homescreen. I end up using the button savior back button.
-The circle gesture that takes you to the apps does not feel very responsive to me.
Anyhow, great job. Can't wait to see how you plan on improving it
OW MY EYES
I installed this, and everything just kept flashing. GO Locker and GO Launcher are both broken, and the only way I could fix it was by getting into ADW and closing the task. Did I install it incorrectly? I put it onto an SD card and used ES File Manager to install it.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
You swipe left to go to the previous page of books. You swipe right to go to the next page of books, assuming you have more than 6 books. Personally, I know what books I have on the device so it's not a problem knowing how many are left to see for me.
The back button should be on top of the screen in the middle, not sure why it wouldn't be there on yours. I will give it a think, maybe remove the scroll control in the book description and just use gesture detection and scroll the text via code.
Responsiveness and speed will likely improve over time, I am using the gesture library, maybe there are some optimizations there I can do.
Cheers!

Hi,
Noted, so it doesn't work with GO Lancher/Locker. Never tried GO stuff, so that wasn't tested. It was tested with ADW and relaunch, and I had all the rest of your typical touch nooter install there without problems, android market, etc.
I have run it with Home.apk renamed to Home.apk.bak and that works fine as well.
As for your other question, if it is installed it is installed, there are no configurations to modify, however you get it there it should be fine.
Cheers!
WANT
Noted that it does not work with go, will have to get rid of that first.
From the screenshots, I can already tell you put time into polishing! Good job!

I'll try it again without the GO software, but it was making everything just keep flashing, like the lock screen.
@NFHimself, any plans for taking this to github? It is very close to what I always wanted but I was also looking for:
- some kind of usage of Calibre data
- library filtering for series, highly rated, etc.
- tracking of books that are clicked to maintain sort of recent read filter
- sorting options by rating, series, and other Calibre properties
- option to display 6 or 12 (smaller) book covers.
I hope it already does use intents for selecting a different epub reader for those who have no defaults and multiple ones installed.
I know its a long list, and I have some Android experience. I am sure there would be other developers here so a combined effort might help.
Screenshots looks good, but on the Nook - only flashing screen like Googie2149 said

Hi,
I use Calibre as well, I just connect via adb and calibre picks up the nook and I copy books over and it converts on the fly, cool program. Using Calibre data is an idea worth looking into, if I can fit it into the theme of no preferences, no extra buttons or config. There are plenty of those kind of home apps already. Relaunch for one is great, just missing a graphical front end, I was going to mod that, but decided that I didn't really need so much stuff and I wanted to learn more android API.
I did up the app using pretty straight forward epub standards (note the plural), it works with most epubs I have run across, not sure if looking for extra xml is a good functionality vs performance tradeoff. I haven't been using EPubBrowser for very long myself, so when I add more books and find something annoying I will probably make changes to fix it. I want to keep things simple, if I need a preferences menu, it is already going the wrong way.
I am not specifying any class, just a regular launch this epub file intent, so it should work with any reader. I like the stock reader myself, cool reader seems to dislike some epubs I have above a certain size, and I didn't want to deal with it.
I may github it, I am kinda time limited these days.
Cheers!

Hi,
More details are needed to figure that out. What device do you have? What do you have installed on it?

I just wiped then manually rooted my Nook, and this works now. Although I'm having some trouble with getting to the apps page after the first time I did it. Could you possible change how you get to the apps page? Maybe change it so you have to click the menu key to get to apps.
Edit: Now that I've added my books, it shows me two books, one empty, and another book. Now it just flashes and removes/re-adds the last book. :/
Edit 2: I found that there are a few books that just don't like this launcher and cause the entire Nook to start flashing. I've been adding my books one by one to see which work and which don't and I'll try and find similarities between those that don't.
Great launcher replacement.
Running right now, but after the second page, I get sent back to the first, regardless of left-to-right or right-to-left swiping. Ideas?
Also, any chance for a page up/down use for scrolling through books?
I took a quick vid. It looks like when I swipe again from R to L, it tries to redraw the next books, but gets confused?

Hi,
I'm busy painting the baby's room, but it looks like it is resetting, perhaps one of your books is crashing the app and it is being relaunched as the home screen. Or could be some other bug, how many books are involved, if you remove one or add one, does it go away?
If someone could open the e-pub (it's a zip file) that causes the error and paste the contents of the .odf file (it's an xml file) , that would help.
Cheers!

I've gone through and removed / added ebooks, and still the same problem.
Sorry, been kinda busy.
I need to be able to see the bug on my end to work on it. Maybe I've been lucky with the book selections I have made or converting using Calibre has set them all to have the same kind of format, vs the variety you might see in the wild from multiple sources.
Does the error happen with no books?
What happens when you have just one book?
How many books do you have on your nook? (If it's something like 1000 then yeah, maybe you'd have issues, no checks in the code for being out of memory.)
What firmware are you using?
Are there any hardware differences? (Can't imagine that being a problem, but I am using a NST, not the original Nook.)
What can I do to reproduce this error on my end? What are the steps?
Cheers!

For me, it doesn't matter how many books I have, it's just a few specific books that crash, independent of the other books in my library, and some books are more severe than others (one makes the entire Nook start flashing (all software), others make only this app flash).
I have the same problem as the people above but I can't get past the first page. I can't seem to narrow it down to a certain book making it crash. It's a shame I love this home screen, but hopefully we can get this fixed and running great.
New Way to Bypass LG - Google Factory Reset Protection on VARIOUS Devices!
Ignore the poor grammar, typos etc.. Bits and pieces from notes.
--needed--
bluetooth (needed)
data cable (needed)
computer (needed)
Factory reset phone, forward through setup wizard and turn on wifi then... --->
enable service menu with tool - so youll need to select the modem port then on the app goto "open port lg" then after this goto option "open hidden menu" now you are in the hidden menu. --->
goto - on hidden menu .. field test -> gps test -> gnss test or gns pos test -> now youll see a warning screen hit ok. youll now be in location within settings ---->
turn on -> google location history at bottom click it -> top right 3 dots click then view/manage which brings you out to maps.. now hit back button and you will be in maps now.
-
online way - online way into the removal process
offline way - offline way around and into the removal process
-online way -> Hit top left 3 bars and then start driving and set destinations to KFC for example, start driving then press the mic at top right and say "settings"
[Online] In settings goto Apps -> disable and force stop if you want, google play services, both setup wizards, google account manager, and google services framework and also clear data for each also if you want
Next reboot, and when phone opens up to setup wizard use your bluetooth and say open google or just press it and on the google screen when it pops up search for example gmail then scroll down through the results until you see a big gmail icon and 3 dots to the left.. hit these and share.. it might also look like a share icon instead then share to msgs ... put in a random number and some txt, attach your location by hitting the paperclip. make sure to send it (doesnt actuially go through unless youve active service card in..)
Click on the location link and click connect and it will open up maps, start a route, start driving then push the microphone and say open settings. When settings opens up goto Security and enable unknwon sources.. press bluetooth again and say open google or toggle back to the google search screen (bluetooth is your best bet as UI will crash sometimes and put you back at the setup wizard)
When google opens click on the G at top left then search for example "frp video youtube" for example.. scroll down results until you see a youtube site link and click on it. This *should* open up youtube once it opens up top right click and goto about and this will open chrome ..now search in google this http://google.com
download these: (your typical stuff for example "vnrom_frp, gam_6.0, apex launcher (or any other launcher... id suggeat older versions as newer can reset your order and land you back at the setup wizard) .
[Offline] Hit 3 left lines at top and then go down to offline areas and youll see offline areas settings then click on settings under "to save your cellular data while using google maps" click top right 3 dots and click show tab view now all the settings sections are back
Turn on bluetooth and pair ear piece incase you mess up and need to get back to zomewhere
Follow through as you would online version.
Let me know if you find the AT commands!
Credits for app attached in next post goto those Yemen Fellas who have so far been able to bypass anything in front of them LG/Samsung Carrier - Sprint!! Tracfone --> FRP/Unlock
Credits also to XDA user @CXZa as if it weren't for him i probably would not have looked deeper into AT commands (still have barely scratched the surface).
almost forgot... here is the app to use in the steps leading into the OS for factory reset bypass.
Tap this and that.. These are kind of fun - sometimes. Sometimes quite complicated.
This one is for LG m250f 2017. Should work for mine too, m250n.
(Two seconds wasted...)
Not long ago I accidentally removed my Google account when testing vold triggers.
Simply by doing
setprop vold.decrypt trigger_shutdown_framework
and
setprop vold.decrypt trigger_restart_min_framework
did the trick. Other accounts are kept and no resets, etc... only but is that you have to have a root access...
The min framework was totally empty of icons, didn't ask for the pin.
I don't how the trick works on other devices. It was a LG...
To restart normally after it.
setprop vold.decrypt trigger_reset_main
setprop vold.decrypt trigger_restart_framework
Thanks. I will take a look. Almost seems like everything I am doing is too much. These LG devices are a tad bit more difficult in areas i guess you could say.
also.. hope you ignored all the other b#ll**** I had in the removal guide ha.. simply my personal notes.

There isn't any good or bad, nor better in these, IMO. As long as some method works it has done its job perfectly.
Yeah, many times LG is in a league of its own, in many ways...
