So, I'm curious, what's everyone's perfected photo vault?
Keep safe is from what I know the most popular and most downloaded, but it's been kinda buggy lately and not very fast..
Then photo locker I'm testing right now and it's a little better honestly but only 500k downloads as compared to keep safes 5 million .
Anyone have any suggested ones?
I tend to have a lot of private stuff that's my eyes and my gfs eyes only or else I would end up single lol. And for obvious reasons I wouldn't want someone snooping through my phone and to find pictures of my gf that are meant for a boyfriend or husband ONLY lol.
Send em my way.....I'll look over them, I mean after them
**Feed on your nothing,
You'll never live up to me**

I don't believe that's even encrypted when you hide pictures or videos unless you specifically do

Just an idea here, but take the photos and videos and stuff you want hidden, and then put them into a .zip so they don't show up in your gallery. This way the only way to access them is to use a file explorer capable of opening .zips. (I strongly suggest ES.File Explorer.)
You could move the zip anywhere and the pictures won't show up

But then anyone could access that and it's not as easy to access and view. Not nearly as much as other stuff.
Also, does hide it Pro encrypt the images when you hide them?

If you hid it tucked away in like your app data folder (Android) or like in alarms folder no one would look there. Just an idea.

What about those times you might wanna take a little peek at those photos?
Heh, but my girlfriend and I use Vaulty and it seems to work well enough. Pretty sure it encrypts, although I will say that she and I have both experienced losing at least one photo. Just disappeared.

Es. File explorer has a zip explorer that you can view what is in the zip without unzipping it.

You can generally tell if it encrypts or not due to speed. When you place a few pictures into the vault, does it like instantly get them all in, or does it take a sec. The apps that take a sec are generally encrypting them.
Also, I don't like hide it pro =/ you can't double tap to zoom
I use both Keepsafe and Vaulty.
I use these 2 because they store both videos and pics. I have used some other apps and hidden documents as well.
Keep safe is my preferred and go-to. But I like Vaulty because I can make multiple vaults with separate pass-codes for each.
And lets be honest. Encrypted or not if you haven't completely wiped your SD card if I find your phone I can see just about every pic you ever had on there in no time.So if you lose your phone just assume it is all fair game. And I'm not expert at all.

I tried Gallery Lock Pro and it deleted every image it was protecting. Gone without any input from me.
Emailed dev for refund. His reply was for me to remove my negative review and give it 5 stars first.
I suggested he think about that fact being shared with anyone and everyone. Got my refund as next reply.
Kept emails just in case. I don't trust the app and sure as hell won't buy anything from a dev that does that.

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.

This sounds like a dumb question but I've never had this happen to me before. The other day I switched to Eugene's MIUI Patchrom. I was on it for about ten minutes when I realized I couldn't access my pictures. My gallery was showing a couple hundred when I have over 2000. I assumed it was the rom since it's not super stable. I restored my backup or Juggernaut and I just realized I can still not see my pictures. Surely they didn't get deleted, right? Please help because those pictures mean a lot to me. Thanks.

I don't know of any ROMS that will wipe the sdcard. Did you check the DCIM directory with root explorer or via USB from your PC?
Yeah I did. Like I said, the folders are still there with the names I gave them, they're just empty.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
O well, have fun finding the pictures/ taking them again.
Besides the attributes getting changed by accident to hidden, I'd cough it up as a loss unless you can manage to do a file recovery program to scrape them off somehow

O&O Software makes a really good file/folder/partition recovery program. I'd imagine it would work on sd, but im not 100% sure.. It never hurts to check
That's always my biggest worry when switching to a new ROM, because all my videos and pics are of my kids for the most part.
I personally don't know the best way to get them back, and the position you are in really sucks. What I tend to do is backup all my photos and pictures to my external SD card (32gb, so I have the space). Also make a backup on my computer and make another backup through a cloud storage program of your choice, I am currently using Drive.
I know that is a bit of overkill, but again, they are pics and vids of my kids growing up so I want to be 100% certain they don't get lost.
Hopefully you are able to find those pics, if not, perhaps my suggestion will help you in the future. Peace.
Thanks for the help, those who actually suggested something. I used some app from the gay store and it was able to recover some of my pictures, but not all. I suppose I'll just have to be more careful and make backups in the future.

It probably just hides them somewhere in the internal memory, download es file explorer, enable show hidden files/folders in the settings, then look through the folders beginning with a "."
I'll download and try keep safe (if it's free) soon to test this myself.
Edit: confirmed, they're in ".keepsafe" the and they have ".hid2" added as a file extension. Just move them out of there and delete the ".hid2" from the name and it should be fine.

I would start putting the music somehwere other then only on phone storage, just in case. I've accidentally wiped internal storage once, and I've had External sdcards go bad or just randomly out of no where lose all data in it. make a dropbox and do TiBu once a week and move them there your self with some type of file manager if you don't wanna pay the money for Titanium Backup pro. I also bet all your stuff is there you are just looking in the wrong places. What file manager are you using to look for your "lost stuff"?

Aokp is awesome ROM. I dont mean to be rude but if you think those files are still there (in your phone) ;install different ROm or restore backup and pull al data from it. And wipe both internal and external cards. Amd install aokp and enter those files again via PC.

Not sure why you'd want to find them but if you're trying to get it for free (or something like that), you're in the wrong place.
If that's not the case, mind clarifying why you're looking for them?

I paid for root explorer so that I can explore the files and folders on my phone. I noticed that half of the apps I have installed are not in the same location as I usually would see them....not sure what you mean by get them for free when they are paid apps already on my phone. Do I need to forward you google receipts...not everyone is trying to get everything for free. This is not my first post and if you were to check my previous posts you would see that I'm always taking time to help others in the pasts. Thanks anyways.
Btw Im looking for them because I like to theme some of my apps. You'll see I made a tutorial over a year ago on how to use 7zip to theme your phone or apps.

Slow down for a sec... I'm sorry you took this in the wrong way. There just isn't any reason to be looking for a app with root explorer unless you wanna extract it (I won't explain the process of stealing paid apps), which is why I was asking your reasons for it.
Either way, as you probably noticed, not all apps install in the same folders (often games). Some of them are installed under system/app, others in data/data and of course, data/app (there might be other folders).
You could also use TiBu to backup the apk, pull it from your phone (in the TiBu folder) and do your magic from there.
P.S.: Reading with a smile helps to avoid confusion and taking things the wrong way
I too pull the apps and theme them for myself. For Root Explorer and probably other paid apps I too am not sure where they are now. Root Explorer was always under data/apps but after its update I have not found it. It has a built in theme kind of where you can choose some of the images seen (text file,picture file, etc.) but I was just wanting to theme them color wise but I haven't found it yet. I will let you know if I find it, please do the same. I will do a complete search of all files to see if I can locate where it is hidden.
I also know some of the apps stuff is located in data/data but when you find speed software there it doesn't have the files I am looking for.
EDIT: I FOUND IT. It is called pkg.apk or red.zip and is located in mnt/asec/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer-1/pkg.apk
