Copy the file from the download folder to your dcim folder. It should now show in album.
If not clear cache and restart device.

Try clear data or cache in Gallary app or wait until it fully loads.I also facing that problem often. And same with that my computer can't recognized about new file downloaded by phone.
Sorry for my poor language
You by any chance using the xperia GX framework?
Have absolutely no idea why but was having this problem when I installed a rom with GX framework. Only fix was to go into settings/storage and unmount then remount sd card, but had to do this after ever time I reset my phone.
I have now changed framework to Xperia T and problem has disappeared.
Again, absolutely no idea why it's even related.........
Maybe give it a try. It was annoying, especially when my music was also not showing up.

Hi,
This morning I tried to install the xperia S apk file to my xperia arc s running on android 4.03.
However before replacing, I took a backup of existing home.apk using root explorer.
I replaced the existing one with a new home.apk and then did a reboot.
After reboot I am not able to see the home.apk at all in the default application list.
I did a factory reset but still dont see the home.apk.
Now i am unable to see the screen itself. Kindly help me to restore the home.apk
Small query: Is it possible to install home.apk file from CWM recovery?
Please guide me
Did you changed permission before replacing the apk?
To make it working you need to change the permission of Home.apk then replace and reboot.
Permission should be like this-
r-w-
r - -
r - -
So I guess now your problem is that you can power on your device then but it is stuck @ boot logo right?
IF yes then you might try this.
Download this launcher from the link below. It's Zeam launcher and it's free available in the market.
http://www.mediafire.com/?991i94rx5kaxy85
After downloading, unzip it and put the apk. in to the following flashtools location-
Flashtools\Custom\app\ [I assume you have flashtools installed and also have root access]
Then open Flashtools and power on the device and connect it. Your device will stuck @ boot logo, no problem just connect it.
Then you should see that in Flashtools displays a message that "root access allowed"
Then @ top bar of flashtools you will see some icons. One of them is a curved arrow and that indicates apk installer. Click it and it should install the Zeam launcher to your device.
Then you restart the device and you will be able to use the phone using Zeam Launcher. You can restore the Home.apk as well.
This was the complicated way.
Now if u have CWM recovery installed and can boot in to recovery then you just need a flashable zip of the Home.apk
There are many Flashable Zip available in the Theme & Apps section. Download one from that. Then put that zip in to you SD card. Reboot in recovery and install that zip.
Since you can not operate your phone directly so may need a Card reader to access the memory card of your phone to save the Zip there.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I guess I made the work more complicated but I could learn something out of it.
I actually could restore the home.apk in a bit different and complex manner as compared to your solution.
I entered the CWM more and did a factory reset and then did a reboot.
Once done, I got all the steps of registering mobile for first use
I could get into settings but couldn't get to the home screen to access applications. So I did some stupid work but seems like that was a life savior
I connected a headset and there was a pop up stating "a new accessory connected"
From that i could select an application for launch and I chose "Application Installer". I could now access the apk files from application installer and then i installed one home.apk (I guess its for xperia S) and then did a reboot.
I am now able to see the homescreen and everything but its the homescreen of xperia S. Now i got back into the root explorer app and then tried to change the permission of home.apk (xperia S) to the one you just suggested and then replaced the home.apk (default apk for xperia arc s) and replaced and did a reboot.
But I still see that home.apk is not replaced with the default home.apk of xperia arc S.
Is it possible to get back my default home.apk (xperia arc S) if so please guide me.
Sorry for being so stupid and messing up things here. This is the first time I am trying to work with a root device.
Aside from setting permissions and changing owner to "root", you need to go into settings, apps, all and clear the data for Xperia Home. Then reset. It's worked for me on both 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.
If you can access root explorer then i believe you can easily replace with the original Home.apk of Xperia ARC S
This is the link for Xperia ARC S Home.apk of ICS 4.0.3
http://www.mediafire.com/?s4m6f8d9dmqhp0g
And do this and it's a must as adielee mentioned.
Clear the data after replacing. I forgot mention it earlier.
Heya,
I had the same issue and this is what caused it; not enough free space on the system partition (/system).
Go to the /system folder an delete bloatware apk's and/or .apk's you don't need, like the clock widgets and/or the powersaver.
After I did that, I had like 8 Mb of free space and then I installed a new/edited home.apk & rebooted into to new home
After the boot, the system partition only had 500Kb free space while the home.apk was only 1.5Mb.
And yes, it is possible to make your own CWM installer for the home.apk
Take a look at this post; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23358807&postcount=94
Download the .zip file and copy your home.apk into the .zip (overwrite existing file!)
Worked Perfectly !!
I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly now!!! thanx auni & adielee!!
I want to exclude the whatsapp-folder from the sony album app. So I placed a .nomedia-file in it, cleared data of media app and rebooted. The pictures are gone now. But new pictures are still shown in the album app.
Any idea how to exclude a folder from the album...?
PS: don't tell me to use another app like quickpic...

It's a general problem in Android.
In earlier versions it was possible to use the.nomedia file but now there is no solution for this...
Use ES Explorer to hide
I have the same problem with you, it's so annoying when I saw some cartoon picture from com.game.blablabla appear to my album. I was try to hide the folder using ES Explorer (or maybe you know another app to hide the folder). And it's work, there is no silly picture again to my album. And the app still working although I hide they data folder.
This bug was rectified in JB 4.3 Version....
So update your android to latest 4.3 version

Even in 4.3 I still have this bug, but for me, the following trick always work.
Besides keeping the empty ".nomedia" file in all the folders you don't want the system to scan, please go
Settings / Apps / All / Media Storage / Clear: "Data on device" / Reboot
to clean the Album data.

This trick is old.it's applicable on JB 4.2.x versions.
But according to many users this bug is fixed in JB 4.3 ,.
you try in your mobile by resetting it to factory state...
Because of only this bug, in 2.67 and old firmware version.
I updated my Xperia zl to latest.569 version....

thanks, this work for me
hi, after installing file manager, i found out that there is a mirror image folder similar to my sdcard folder named storage/emulated/0. Whenever i delete any files , its seems like a mirror image to my sdcard folder. Is it the way Xperia ZL manages its files or it happened after i rooted it? I don remember Xperia S and Ion has this. The Z too.
It's a 4.2 thing. As I've read, it's caused by the multi user function introduced in this version...

Hi. Is it possible to get the good old walkman apk for our devices, like in the attached "walkman.jpg"?
To me it's a little annoying to drag in from the left to get in to albums, instead of just having it all at start-screen See "screenshot.jpg".
Did u try to install older version of walkman?
Id it wont work only way will be root, delete walkman and than install older
Sent using SO-01D - Gin2KitKat/LuPuS_GB
Succes
Tried to delete SemcMusic.apk from system/app, but everytime I booted up, walkman showed up as normal.
Had to delete it in data/app folder too, then push old walkman to system/app - reboot - then install as normal app from within system/app folder.
It's the good old walkman layout again. The way I like it
Thanks for your reply :good:
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"

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 ?
