Wonder if anyone else is experiencing this...when my phone updates apps from the market, the app icon is saved as a picture in my gallery. Deleting it doesn't do anything to the app and it gets annoying when you update 20 apps at once. Any ideas or experience on how to stop this?
I am rooted and all roms I tried have this happening on them, so it can't be them.

I was wondering what those were... They seemed pretty harmless so I just ignored or deleted them.

The stock gallery sucks. Use "quickpic" and long press and! Click exclude and it won't show that folder anymore. Plus the quickpic app sets photots as wallpapers in higher quality.
Do any of you have app monster installed? I installed the app mentioned above and went to ignore the directory of the icon image....said it was found in appmonster, deleted it and problem is solved.

Just guessing, but could you have "Auto-add widgets" checked in Market settings? Maybe what you're seeing are icons for the widgets it creates.
You can navigate to the folder on your SDcard and create a blank file
".nomedia" and then remount your sdcard and those files will no longer display in the gallery works good for these you don't want easily found

I have been using Quickpic over Gallery for months now. It really is great. If I could set lockscreen wallpapers from it, Gallery would have been deleted a long time ago..edit..maybe you can set lockscreen wallpaper with Quickpic ..

It must have been added recently because I swear it wasn't possible before..

Actually, I tried freezing Gallery and then the opinion to set Lockscreen wallpaper from Quickpic disappears...so can't delete Gallery! Damn

Seems like an odd issue. Do you have any icon packs installed or something like that? I know Gallery will create thumbnails for something like that. Have you checked to see what the name of the folder is that the icons are in?
If it's icons packs or for some reason a folder is being created with the thumbnails in it then just do the .nomedia thing and reboot (or cycle unmount/mount of the sdcard).
It was definetly app monster pro. Anytime I updated/downloaded a new app, it would save an image file of the app icon in its directory. I deleted app monster since I use titanium instead, problem solved.

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.

I guess this question is sort of related to this so I'll ask it here. In Gallery is there any way that anyone knows of to NOT display every single folder that has an image in it? It's a little annoying going to the gallery and having folders for music album folders, certain apps, themes etc. I just want to see what in my DCIM folder and sub folders

In the folder you wish to hide, create a .nomedia file in it. That will hide the folder from appearing in gallery.
So I have root explorer, but where do I go to to delete Gallery?

Hi guys,
Is it now possible to create albums and sort pictures in the new ICS gallery? I don't think this was possible on gingerbread

And/or (if you have it set up to sync) you can control it in Picasa. But that is dependent upon having sync turned on, it is after-the-fact and requires a computer/regular internet, and does not "re-route" new pictures from the "Camera" folder.

Sometimes when I do this, especially when I move pictures around existing albums it doesn't refresh immediately. Any way to force a rescan of the media? Deleting the cache does not seem to always work

Try that to manually rescan the media. It works....sometimes. heh.
Does the stock gallery app allow you to move pictures to a different folder? couldnt seem to find that option.
If not... are there any good apps that allow you to move photos within folders? Without using an "explorer" type of app like astro. if not... are there any apps made specifically for this function? i hate using astro just to move pictures around.
If they are on your "SD Card" just plug it into the computer and move them that way, but no, the stock gallery app doesn't have that feature. Needs it though.
Use QuickPic, really great app.

No, the gallery doesn't offer it. It weird that is doesn't.

I had flashed the AOKP build 1 ROM last week. Among other issues, the Gallery app was not showing any images from the sdcard. I then did a nandroid restore back to Bugless Beast. But the Gallery app is still not showing sdcard photos. If I add any new photo, that is showing up in Gallery after sometime; but not existing photos.
How do I solve this? Is there any way to force the Gallery app to scan sdcard for media and pick up the images?
note -
1) Gallery app worked fine before flashing AOKP
2) I don't have .nomedia in my pictures folder and they show up fine in quickpic
3) I still need Gallery to work, as apparently the app 'bump' depends on it. Bump doesn't detect pictures, if Gallery doesn't.
Any suggestions?
I'd bet if you look at the folder or root in astro or root explorer you'll see a file named ".nomedia" somewhere. It might take a little while until the scan occurs for the pictures to show up.

Apparently it has something to do with ROM manager. If you have it installed, uninstall it and redownload from the CWM website and install it again. Reboot and it should be fine. It worked for me when I had this problem.

Nope, no .nomedia files involved. Else they wouldn't have showed up in quickpic either. I anyway checked with root browser too, with 'show hidden file' checked. No .nomedia file.

I uninstalled the ROM manager and rebooted. No effect. I then cleared cache and data of Gallery and Media Storage and rebooted. Let Gallery run its scan for sometime. Now it is showing a few picture folders of the sdcard. And a lot of 'place holder' dark grey tiles with no images in them. Guess it is still scanning. But it's been almost an hour now. Still scanning...!!!??
Will update later if everything shows up.

1. Disable the Media Scanner
2. Use FX Explorer to go to the Folder and select rescan folder.

When you say clockworkmod, are you referring to the recovery or the apk?

Update -
After clearing cache/data of gallery and media storage and rebooting, Gallery ran its scan for some time and now it is showing all images. So, that's the solution. :good:
