Thanks I will give it a try.

It depends on what app you use or if you're using a built in feature in a rom. For example ShootMe puts them in the ShootMe folder on your SD card.
Volume down + menu on MIUI puts them in MIUI/screen_cap.
Don't know about other methods/apps.

I used to use an app that put them in the data folder. Check the settings for whatever app you are using. It should tell you, and sometimes give you an option to change, the destination folder.

[Q] Anyway to get MUIU like folders on other ROMS?

Like my title states...the one reason I love the MIUI rom is because of the folders. Is there any APK or any way we can get that on another rom? The MIUI rom has certain issues that I do not like to deal with. Thanks.
I believe astro file viewer allows you to classify your apps and make folders on your homescreens. It even allows you to pick the icons for each folder. It's free in the market.

[Q] Anyone know how to create a private file?

How do you create a private folder on your phone for things such as for photos and numbers and serial keys you dont want everyone seeing?
For my private photos i use folders with dot in front of the name (etc folder photos is .photos). That way folder is hiden and visable just thru some apps (bluetooth file transfer or root explorer)

So it wont show up under your gallery section? Just wondering cause it gets annoying when you try to show somone a photo you took a family pic and there is some photos that you dont want your grandmother to seee lol.
No it wont. All folders with dot and files inside them are hiden. May be required to restart your phone after creation of folder but that it. This also may depend on wich rom are you using. Test it.

What ROM are you on or are you stock? I think either menu or long holding should give the option to delete..

Use QuickPic. It's blazing fast and better in almost all aspects. You can find it on the Market.
quick test, remove your sd card and boot your phone, are the pictures there?
if the pictures were stored on your sd card then there will be a file for thumbnails, remove them there.

[Q] Is it possible to change scanned folders for the Gallery app?

I'm not finding any way to make adjustments and looks like the app picks up anything with an image. For example, I see some albums showing up in the folders because of cover art
Add a file named .nomedia to that folder and refresh the Gallery. It should disappear.

[Q] 2 file system things

I dont really know what to title this, so ill try to explain the best i can. Whenever i hook my phone up to my PC, there seems to be 2 same yet separate storage. If i go straight into my internal, there are the normal Music, pictures, podcasts and those type folders, but then there is a golder named 0 and it has the same exact files but it seems like those are the ones my phone uses.
So to recap, my internal storage is copied into a subfolder of the normal files...Any clue as to what is going on? Im running Lifeless btw.
Here are the pictures of what im talking about. Notice the firsts contents, then the second. Nearly identical, yet i use the 2nd's files.
First picture is the normal folder, and the second is the subfolder.

Have you had AOSP before? I noticed that after moving back. If I helped don't forget to click the Thanks Button
That would explain it. Would it be bad to delete one of them?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
It has something to do with the fact that 4.2 can support multiple user logins users I believe. I'm sure there is someone that can explain this better than I. I deleted one of them without any real trouble, but if you go back to an AOSP ROM it will just create it again.
Does it matter which I delete? Should I just delete the one not being used?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Just move everything over to the "0" folder. When you reboot it'll create what it needs in the other/regular folder.
