I tried searching but I couldn't find anything that was helpful. I've tried hiding the image, but it just creates another one. I'm sick of seeing it and I'm tired of constantly deleting it. How do I get rid of it permanently???
That drives me crazy too! Hopefully someone has the answer to this!!

Use a file manager to create a new file called .nomedia in the folder. After a reboot it'll be gone from the gallery

Wonder if I have a virus cuz I try to delete the files with file explorer and it wont allow me to delete... I've deleted any kind of things with file explorer in the past

That images are usually saved by an application you installed previously..
Make sure no apps uses that images, and eventually consider uninstalling it

Beautiful Widgets would always save images onto my SD card.

Tiresome sifting through pages upon pages of pictures from apps and such to find my personal media. Thanks

Should be able to move the pics to a new folder titled ".nomedia"
Shouldn't scan that folder.
actually, I think all you need to do is create a file called .nomedia and place it into the folders you don't want the media scanner to scan.
Works great to keep the gallery from adding all of the images that Touchdown (my corporate email program) caches on the phone.
Is there a method to include folders rather than exclude -because I have way too many files from wherever that I would have to exclude with that method. Thanks

Bump. What does "bump" mean? Does it mean 'no one is looking at my thread, hey you, will you look at my thread? Either way, hey you... kidding, but please, does anyone know of a way to choose folders for the gallery rather than choose to exclude which as I mentioned would be way to cumbersome? Thanks

Put your pics you want private in a desperate folder. Rename the folder to anything with a period in the beginning and voila!

Hiding private media isn't the issue.

If you don't mind a 3rd party solution, get QuickPic. I seriously haven't used my stock gallery in over a year. It has the option to exclude certain folders ( and thus scan the rest of the SD card ), or include folders instead ( only scans the folders you choose ).

You could also make a text file and rename it to .nomedia no name with that file extension and it will not show up, which is what quickpic does for you.

thanks. that's the solution.
edit: actually no, gallery still finds private media and now the folder just renamed with a dot in front has now disappeared.
edit: actually, there is a setting in astro to display such files, BUT then now the gallery app will display contents of private but visible folder so...

Anyone know how to get rid of the start up sound? I look in the bin files but not sure the name of file. Or I'm just not looking in the right place.
Help?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Using a root explorer System>media>audio>ui delete or rename "PowerOn.ogg"
Thank you! The sound has been driving me crazy. I should've known there was an easy way to get rid of it.
Sweet! Thank you!

Is it fine to just delete the file - does it result in any errors? Would it be better to replace it with an empty dummy .mp3 file instead or doesn't matter? Thanks
Easiest thing to do is just rename it, adding a .bak to the end of it. Still there if you want to use it later, but not used right now
***ADDED***
I just noticed, my audio files aren't showing up in the music app either :S
Plus, I'm not the only one with this issue.

Hey,
So this happened day before yesterday, on CM9 beta 5, my photos didn't show up in my gallery, I booted into recovery, mounted and unmounted my sdcard, cleared cache and stuff, to no avail. Today, I installed HTC One maXimus 3.0 with a full wipe, but didn't fix anything. However, what I've noticed is, if a picture is placed in the root of a folder in the sdcard, it shows up, but only if I cut and paste photos there, the ones already in the folder didn't show up either.
What I mean is:
I have a folder, /sdcard/DCIM.
The pictures that were in that directory didn't show up either. But, when I moved pictures from sdcard/DCIM/100Media to sdcard/DCIM, they showed up in the gallery.
I have another folder, /sdcard/pictures.
It has two folders inside it, 'Screenshots,' and 'Instagram.' Those photos weren't showing up either. But, when I moved them into /sdcard/Pictures, they showed up.
The biggest problem, even the pictures I take on the camera, don't show up in the gallery.
The only thing I believe is left is for me to make a backup of my sdcard, then format the sdcard, put everything back, and create new folders for the pictures and place em there.
If you have any suggestions other than that, please post it here. Id really appreciate it and will remember to hit the thanks button too!

Check to see if there is a .nomedia file in your root directory. If there is, delete it and rescan.

I deleted the file, and rebooted, problem is all there. How do I rescan?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Check that the file has not reappeared. I think this is a bug from ROM Manager which has just been fixed in the latest version. So may need to update ROM Manager too.
The .nomedia file tells the photo gallery and music player that there is no media there and to ignore any it sees. If it is in the root directory then it will not see any media files in any directory

It isn't there, and I don't have Rom manager :S

You may just have to wait a while and it will update the gallery/music automatically. Sorry I can't be more help, but if you did have that .nomedia file, it would have stopped your apps seeing the files

Also try deleting the app data

See my post "reset the mediadatabase". ICS stores every medialink in a database, so that no other app has to search mediafiles (vids, pictures and music) in the storage everytime. If this database is corrupted, ICS will not find any new data by this moment. The way I described in my post fixed the problem.

Hey all. I've been busting my brain, downloading different file managers, playing with permissions and whatnot trying to delete a couple folders left over from Skynote Rom.There's a folder named "Z" on my internal storage that won't go away. That folder houses the sky note wallpapers and an LMT pie launcher apk. Its in two spots on my internal storage and neither will delete. Though it doesn't take up much memory, its annoying to see 3 skynote wallpaper galleries in my photo gallery every time.
Is there a way to delete these items through some file manager I've yet to try or maybe even through recovery mode? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

One other screenshot to show in gallery. This was taken after I already deleted two other skynote walls galleries.

Does this folder appear in data/media? Try deleting from that location.

Delete it using TWRP. Had that same folder and couldn't get it removed. Until I deleted it from the TWRP recovery..

In your CM explorer app...open settings and enable root mode.
then dump the files you want gone..
Be careful in there....the CM file manager will allow deletion of "any" file within the OS, while root mode is enabled....g
