make a file called ".nomedia" in the folders you dont want to be caught by gallery.
then clear the cache of the gallery app

Hi everyone!
I have a little trouble with my navigation system sounds on Xperia Arc S.
I'm using iGO Primo and this app is using sounds in *.mp3 format, so these sounds are automatically added to the Walkman application.
The question is : Can i somehow make the folder with these sound hidden for Walkman? Or any other solutions for this issue?
Thanks everyone!

create .nosound file in a folder with these mp3 files then clean data for walkman and media scanner and reboot. You don't have to clean data but it will take a while for these files to disappear from walkman app.
.nomedia file is a file that tells android media scanner to not scan this directory and its a plain text file named ".nomedia" without an txt extension. If you cant create this file then you can copy it from "android" folder in you sdcard.

Did everything as u've adviced (coppied the file from android folder and put in every sound directory) ; unfortunately didn't work (
If walkman is using media scanner then there is no way this cant work. Maybe you have to wait for these files to be deleted from app.

Where did you copy this instagramm folder? Try renaming it or moving it to another path on the memory. Also check out if there is a .nomedia file somewhere in the folder or in the folders above (depending on what file browser you use, you maybe have to turn on "Show hidden files"). If you find a .nomedia file, just delete it so that the media scanner is allowed to search for pictures in this folder and all the subfolders..
Setting > App > All > Media Storage
Clear data and cache.
Media rescan.
Settle.

Τhank you so much!! that was the answer!! I found a.nomedia file in the folder of pictures, so i suppose that was the reason why it didn'd show me the files edited after the update.. Thanks again..
You're welcome
can this directory be deleted to save space or will this wipe the actual photos from the gallery?
thanks

It can be deleted (the contents of this folder, not the folder itself) but thumbnails would be re-created. It might still be good to delete it from time to time since it might contain "orphaned" thumbs....
D.
solution to this annoying problem that occurs in the gallery? I installed messanger Facebook or other applications I appear emoticons.
You need to have have a file on the map you want to exclude from the HTC gallery named ".nomedia" then this folder will be excluded from scans from HTC gallery. If you look on external sd and then on the folder Android you will see such a file, copy it and paste it on the root of the folders you want to exclude.
the folder is not there, you could explain? the destination folder and paste it where I find it?
Open the Gallery app tap the settings icon in the top right corner (the 3 dots) and choose "Show/hide albums".
Now you can choose which albums is visible in the Gallery app.

sorry I meant sd card>android>data then you will see a file named ".nomedia" copy it and put it on the folders/maps you want to exclude from scanning.
That file is also present in other folders just search a bit with (htc) file explorer.

I did not understand what folder copy / maps you want to exclude from scanning?
HTC gallery app scans your maps/folders looking for images. In the facebook messenger folder ( internal memory or external) there are images that's why you see them on the HTC gallery. If you use the ".nomedia" file and put it on the root of the facebook messenger folder then HTC gallery will not scan this folder for images and therefore you will not see them .on the gallery.
Hi,
I realized that the pictures in App_parts folder, MMS photos sent and received, appears in Album, Google Photos and the interface that opens when I want to share a file (view screenshot attached, I don't know what app it is).
My rom is [Stock][PreRooted][DualRecovery][D5503] 14.6.A.1.236 Customized DE - Lollipop 5.1.1, rooted, xposed and Serajr installed.
With .108 Privacy Guard, I don't had this problem...
My wife's Alcatel idol 3 don't have this issue.
How can I fix it ? Where is the problem ?
Thanks, and sorry for my poor english.
using a file explorer go to that folder and create a new empty file inside with a name ".nomedia"

Thank you , but I forgot to mention that I have already try this tip, and it don't work that's why I don't understand how these apps can display these files.

have you rebooted the phone after creating the .nomedia file? or any other method that forces the media scan because the change isn't instant
I just try to reboot the phone, maybe if I wipe cache and dalvik cache ?
