album art showing in picture gallery

Is there a way to stop album art showing in the picture gallery?

if you talk about htc photo gallery you simply have to make the images "read only" and they'll disappear, but i don't know how to hide them if you're using nexus one gallery.

This is a simple fix for cooliris galley - (nexus one).
Load up your albums with the cd front cover jpg within the folder, the phone will cache the image. you may need to reboot for it to scan the folder and cache the image file.
When it shows up in the gallery you can delete the image located in the album folder for example: sdcard: Music\ACDC\image.jpg, this will remove it from the gallery and you have the the cd image now in cache for the music player, sorted.

this was one of the big issues over on the Omnia HD forum.. every image from every program appearing in the default gallery...
work-around-there was to simply set the images to HIDDEN. not great but worked.. could work here maybe.
do wish we get some control in these Gallery programs so we can tell it what folder we want it to look at... so new phone, new OS but still same old issue

[Q] Problems with gallery

Hello,
Some times, every photo and video material disappearing from my phone. Gallery shows nothing. But all photoes and videos are still on SD card. The main point, that I can't reach them. Some widgets, like gallery widget, can show me the pictures, but when I pres on the photo to zoom it - black screen appears and that is it. How can I solve this problem?

see if there is a nomedia file in your photos folder if there one then delete it and your photos will appear again
if it doesn't work then try another app to see the pictures just to know if the problem from the stock gallery app

[Q] Different display for pictures

Hi
I own Sony Xperia SL. Its quite a good phone.
My Problem is all the pictures that enter my phone.ie from Whatsapp,Facebook, are visible in the gallery.
Is there any way I can make only camera pics (clicked one) visible in the gallery and not others?

Create a file named .nomedia and put in the folders you do not want to appear in the gallery.
Or use this app:

This is not working. I tried.

[Q] Deleted Photos stock gallery app (on SD Card) come back to haunt me

I really like the way the Stock Android Gallery app handles my photo, rather than the Sony Album app. But recently I noticed that my phone has a number of photos that supposed to be deleted re-appeared in my Gallery app. Very strange.
I installed Google KitKat 4.4. Gallery and Camera app , installed google plus, thus the "photo app" came together as well. All photos save to SD card DCIM folder by default. I did make sure that cache cleared, thumbnail rebuild after each test below:
1. Delete a photo from Gallery App, it disappear from all photo viewing apps, including the Sony Album App.
2. Check ES Explorer, the photo supposedly deleted still in there.
Tried again, using the Google Plus photo app
1. Delete a photo from Google Plus Photo App; made sure empty the Bin as well. Check all photo viewing app, the photo has been removed.
2. Checked ES Explorer again, the photo deleted is still there!
Then I tried Sony Album App
1. Delete a photo from Sony Album App. All photo viewing apps have the photo removed
2. ES explorer: this time it removed the photo there as well!!
Is this some kind of feature that the google apps build to protect accidental deleted image? If so, how come the photos are still there after Bin was emptied? How to make sure the photos that I wanted to delete is genuinely deleted? (apart from using other apps)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It gives you the option when setting up the Phone to backup to Google so check your sync settings.

I didn't even turn on the photo auto backup. So there is nothing I can set there except from logging into google account.
As for the Gallery app, I can find any setting regarding deleting photos. There is not even a Bin folder in there.

Bump. Anyone can help?

Blurred photos in Album

I've noticed that some old photos appear first in the album randomly even if I delete them. And also some photos are blurred. I'm using the Album app that was preinstalled when I bought the phone. Someone with the same problem and know how to fix this?

Had it before. If they are blurred duplicates of the photos you already have, chances are its the thumbnails. Just locate the Thumbnail Folder ( varies for devices ) and create a ".nomedia" file in there to exclude that portion from being scanned.
After which be sure to Clear your Album App Data in settings A quick restart after that should do the trick.
