How can I access the "addons" folder? I don't see it when browsing the folder structure in XBMC. Is it a hidden folder?
Yes, it's a hidden folder. Enable the option to show hidden folders in whatever app you're using to view the files.

I keep uh...a few hidden folders on my phone for certain files i dont want loaded in general apps (gallery, video player, etc)
However ive noticed that sense flashing to a custom rom (codename android 2.0 RC) im not able to access these folders via MTP USB connection to my PC. Its not a huge deal, as i can access the files and move it to the appropriate folder but is there a fix for this? i have a folder called .stuff that i cannot access via my PC...but can via root explorer.
Are you using Windows or Linux?
Linux, you could need to press ctrl and h to view hidden data.
Windows, you would have to change your explorer preferences...
You could also just put a .nomedia file in the folder you don't want media players to see.
Using windows.
They aren't set to be hidden in properties.
Just when you put a . In front of the folder name it hides it from media players in android.
Putting a no media file inside will hide all the files as opposed to just hiding the folder from say dice player. As it has a toggle to show hidden folders. It was perfect. Just cant access the .folders in windows anymore. Is this a cm9 bug? Didn't have this issue on my stock rom

I have the same Problem I simply solved it by going into the default file explorer enabling hidden files and copying the files into other directories which I can access on the PC.

Yes why not, but if i understand in mtp mode no hidden files, in the windows explorer. What a shame, really i dislike MTP protocol, the usb mass storage was more easy
Thanks
Hi all
I see that I am able to create folders in the gallery app but it is residing in the sdcard folder? How do I change it to external sdcard?
I tried clearing the "miscellaneous files" in the settings > storage and now I lost all those pictures!!

uh..nobody knows?
it would be easier if you create a folder in sdcard, then copy 1 image file into it via file explorer.
It will start showing in gallery, then drag and drop the files into the new folder via gallery only.
Was wondering if anyone knows what .aid.bak is. I only noticed it in the root folder because i was using retroarch and it shows hidden files by default. After enabling hidden files in astro and my file managers i see it in those as well.
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.
