Gallery App - any way to hide albums?

I don't want my Gallery app showing me various movies that I have (I just want my movie player to show those), but the Gallery app currently seems to show everything. Is there any way to select which folders to show and which folders to hide? I have this option on my One X but don't see it in the stock ICS app here.

can you drop that .nomedia file in the offending folder via a file browser?

would this help?

Quickpic is my favorite gallery and it allows you to specficy folders to exclude.

This is the same as using the .nomedia file - browse the folders you hid using a file browser and you see the .nomedia in there, at least for hiding files.
There are other reasons QuickPic is good, just pointing out, if that's all you're doing, the .nomedia file will take care of it

also the app gallery excluder

Not 100% correct as you can exclude instead of hiding this way the no media file won't stop your video player finding the files.

If it's a folder you can just rename it and start it with a period ".".
Worked for me!

Anyone have a successful 4.2 camera installed?

I want to be able to take photosphere picture like on my s3 but it's crashing on my note 2. Thanks

[Q]How to replace icons manually?

Hey friends
So I have a zip with a lot of icons in PNG format but no ROM where I can choose a theme... Using nova launcher free version. How can I replace the icons manually? Where is the icons folder?
Thanks

Desktop Visualizer from Play Store

Okay but isn't there an option where I simply overwrite some files and replace them? ... Instead of doing app by app... To turn these new icons into the native ones

Are the roms you are installing touchwiz? Touchwiz apk need touchwiz framework they can't be integrated into aosp (cm10 AOKP paranoid android etc)

Apk files

I cant see it being this simple but can you copy apks from one roms to another?
For example....if I copyed the samsung keyboard apk or wallpaper apk from one rom and then flashed another rom and placed the apk file in the system apk folder using root browser

It will installed as long as cm10.1 to cm10.1 but not on aosp rom but some cm10.1 to aosp (except all TW apk's are not working) and also those system.apk like sytemui.apk, settings.apk and framework-res.apk etc. and other apk's that developers of the rom had modified it.

So I cant take the samsung keyboard apk and copy it to an aosp rom and use it

Above answer was specific to roms. As long as framework used is same/similar its possible.
Custom roms themselves an example. Portability of app depends on libraries.
