They show up in my gallery repeatedly. They look like malware pictures. I removed all of them once and they came back. So I looked at the details and found the file location. Removed the files. A day later they're back once again.

Some app is putting them there. I know that the Geico app puts silly pics on your phone.
Why is this an acceptable practice? It's like those airpush ads.
I deleted the whole appcache file and it still came back.

Torrents, stop using them on your phone lol.
Do you have any sideload games folders on your memory card? If you do, Gallery will create thumbnail images from those folders. The only way to tell the gallery not to read those folder is you must have .nomedia file in those folders. Good luck.

This might be the closest assumption to whats causing the problem. But its so convient to download torrents straight to my phone lol.

Are there any applications that can lock files, rather than programs? For example, if I want to block certain pictures from being accessed on my memory car.

I been looking for this too, let me see what googling does, brb.
Edit:
Best answer i've found is adding a folder to the root of your sdcard and name it .nomedia, or just putting a period '.' (ie .pics) in front of whatever folder the pictures you don't want to be seen are in.
(App) App Protector
I think there are some free version floating around on the apps store that due the same thing.
I use pandora (not the radio) it also password protect those pics and videos

Hey guys. I started using Vaulty this week I realized HideNSneek no longer worked because it couldnt see the external sd card.
Vaulty only hides two of my videos and 163 out 166 pics. I contacted the vendor and they have no clue.
Any ideas?

Why don't you just make a folder and put a . Before the name then it hides. Unless you know about it you won't be able to find it.

I turned my phone off and on and now my SD card isn't being read. My phone says it's mounted and I can go into it with Root Explorer and mess with anything and everything, but when I go into Apollo or Google Play Music, no music is shown, and when I go into gallery, no pictures are shown. How do I fix this?
Check for a .nomedia file on the root of your sd card.

I found it and deleted it, but no luck. Still can't find music files and pictures in Gallery.
Did you reboot after and verify it was gone? Also look in your music and picture directories for that file and remove it. Then reboot.

I thought so too. A reboot doesn't matter when it comes to that. I got so mad at my phone when it was a simple solution... -__-

Is that folder ok to delete? It has all my apps listed in it. That seems like all the data for all the apps.
Only delete if your want to get rid of the data. Programs store data there. Mine is huge because of the gallery app.

Anyone know how to have pics saved on your phone that won't show up in gallery? I created a new folder and put some pics in there and then the new folder shows up in my gallery and if u delete from gallery it deletes the pics or folder from the phone which is not what I want.

Put a .nomedia file in the folder you don't want gallery to scan.
Or a . in front of the folder name like this: .folder

It's stille there but some apps are unable to see it. I use root browser and that's able tot view it. In mxplayer there is a setting to display hidden folders (with a .) so maybe there is also in the app you're using.
