Recently I tried to hide unnecessary images from gallery by putting a .nomedia file in that folder. After that I realise I have put the file in the wrongly in my SD card root folder causes some of my picture won't be displayed in the gallery. And then I deleted the file but it still not showing up in the gallery. Any idea how I could solve this???
*QuickPic and ES File Explorer can open and view the pictures just fine, but the stock Gallery app cannot. I really need the stock Gallery app to work because I need to choose my own lockscreen wallpaper.

Is it possible to keep certain picture files from showing up in my gallery?
My problem is my gallery is flooded with pics from all my UCCW files , very cluttered it is !
Thanks for the help .
Yeah just name them something else the gallery won't be able to show like .txt. or you could mount USB to PC and select and delete any pics you don't want there.

If you create a file named .nomedia and place it in a folder, any pictures in that folder will not be shown in the gallery. There are probably a few .nomedia files in folders on your phone already that you could copy/paste as well.
Either that or use QuickPic

Hi guys,
I'm really struggling with saving album art in poweramp so it displays every time without having to download it. And it not showing up in Gallery.
Is there a way to download the album art once and save it?
I have tried downloading album images from google put each one in the corresponding folder on my SD card and renamed each one to: albumart.pamp
it works fine but despite it being a .pamp file my gallery still displays bloody thumbnails of each one, very frustrating!!
Does anybody know a way of saving album art and it NOT showing up in the Gallery?
Thank you!
Download Quickpic from the Market. Simple long press the Album Folder and choose Hide it. Quickpic create a file named ".nomedia" in the right folder.
Or you can do it with a Filebrowser by your own (like Solid Explorer or ES File Manager). Go in the folder and create a new file, name it ".nomedia" (without the quotes). Done.

Thank you for your reply.
I am wanting to find a way of these not showing up in the stock ICS Gallery. Will this method work for stock Gallery?
I have tried Quickpic before and I really didn't like it.
Thank you for your time
I think so, but i can´t remember. I use Quickpic and also Poweramp.
Just try it... create the new file (.nomedia) and put it in your Music Folder and see what happend. If it don´t work... erase the .nomedia file
it sees new pics taken but nothing else. old photos are visible in other apps, file explorers etc see these fine. they open manually in the gallery if i choose to open one via file explorer.
wth?
Same here. Old photos (from a backup of stock 4.1.2) are not shown in the Gallery app. Newly taken photos are visible. File manager shows all files correctly in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera. The Settings menu of the Gallery app is a completely empty window.
I tried deleting the data of the Gallery app using Titanium Backup, but it didn't change anything.
Any ideas?

There are a lot of images in folder com.sgiggle.production which belong to Tango application. These small images are always show in my stock gallery. I do not want to see these small images in my gallery then I deleted folder com.sgiggle.production and all images were disappeared from gallery. But after reboot, these images were showed again.
I am on Ommi 4.4 with stock kernel.

put a .nomedia file in the same folder and clear your gallery data. This will prevent the system from scanning that folder for images.
.nomedia file solved my issue. Thank you very much.
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.
