Android does file scan after reboot, possibly later updates it's list if you put/delete a file.
If you put .nomedia into certain directory - it will be ignored during scan (or display or both, I am not sure).
Download root Explorer or Explorer (blue) and create file .nomedia
When you Reboot you not see this files in video Players/music Players and gallery/album where nomedia is.

Hey, is there any way of preventing pics/videos in a certain folder showing up in the gallery?

Just put a .nomedia file in the folder where you have the pics and videos you want to hide.
You might already have this file in your sdcard (some ebook reader or other app that has pics not show in the gallery).
If not, just create an empty text file and rename it.

Doesnt work for me... Stil shows the folder.
It definitely works. Either your media files didn't update yet or you don't have a correct nomedia file...

Can confirm. This does work. Try restarting phone.
Tried it with a .nomedia file already but it didn't work. Gonna see if it needs to update though.
Rename the folder to .folder, the whole folder becomes in invisible.
Your other option is to install estrongs security thingy, which allows you lock down apps totally

I found the best way is to create a zip file and store them in that as it cannot see through a zip file. Has always worked for me, hope that helps

Can someone just rename this thread to 'how hide porn and pics of the bird your cheating with'
By the way. The ext partition is a good place to put 'sensitive' material. Gallery wont look there and it wont show up when plugged into a windows PC.
from the headline, where is it? am i blined?
anothre thing, where do i find the build.prop file in the system folder, so i can change the lang in my phone?
thanks for any help.
p.s
sorry for any english mistake-not my prime lang.
Hi
To view system folder u will need root explorer or similar file manager. Inside the system folder is build.prop
Ordinary file managers will only show SD content.prob why you can't see it, there is prob a free file manager also but I only use root explorer as I find it very good.
Hope that helps

i use ASTRO file manager. am i loking at the wrong place?
Astro only views SD card contents, you need one that will view phone file s
The system folder is on ur phone not SD
Download file expert from market that's free
Open it ,on local tab just press back arrow in top right corner, then click the back slash this will bring you too all files.
Then click system
Hope that helps

you are great! works fine.
how can i replace it with another build.prop file from my PC?
Not sure from PC assume it would be thru adb but I don't no much about it
U can do it manual just put it on ur SD then copy and paste it to ur system folder ,make sure permissions match the original
Try root browser lite its free and works much better than file expert allows copy paste moving and permission changes.
Long press on files for all options

Hi,
i tried to hide folders from stock gallery with .nomedia, after deleting the contents of com.google.android.gallery3d and rebooting the folders are still present in gallery?!
Doesn't work for me either. Is there an alternative?
I am also having this issue. Anyone want to chime in?
I had this problem too. However this seems to work. I used ES File Explorer for this
1. Create the .nomedia file in the folder.
2. Rename the folder.
3. Open the Gallery app. It should start to rescan. Depending on how many files are there it will slowly reduce the file count as its scanning and then the folder will disappear once its gets to zero.
4. Rename the folder back to original name if you want.
Hope that works for everyone else.
Works! thx!

great, this worked for me. was tired of seeing all the cover albums show up on my gallery app.
Add a dot before the folder name
.folder for example
And it shouldn't be scanned

that's the cache under some special folder.
If I download a PDF file from the browser, it gets stored in the Download folder and I can open it with the downloads app. However if I copy a PDF file from my laptop directly to the Download folder (using MTP) the app does not see it. For music, copying to the Music folder works fine. What is the recommended method for copying files like this so they are accessible on the phone?

Have you tried using an explorer program like Astro to see if it's actually been copied to the device?
I can see and open the file with a file explorer (ES in my case) but my point is that surely it should not be necessary to use third party apps to view a PDF file? I found a thread on android central (I'd link to it but I'm too new to be trusted) that said the downloads app is an app for opening downloaded files only, i.e. presumably based on the browser history, and is not an interface to the Download folder.

That is correct. If you want to find a file in a particular folder including downloads, you'll either use to pdf app to browse for it or a file explorer to do the same. Downloads only gives you info of stuff you have downloaded through the phone.

I know how to make camera save to SD card NOT WHAT IM ASKING.
I am using Chrome, and stock mms, on stockrom[roooted]v2 by docholiday77.
Can i change the default save location to a folder on my SD card? Or have it ask where do you want to save this?
because right now its saving to internal sdcard>downloads. and im having to use my Root explorer to copy and paste the files into the appropriate file location, and its very inefficient.
Create a symlink using root explorer.
Long press the folder you want to use and choose Link to this Folder. The rest should be apparent.
Don't know if it'll hold after reboot.

My bad...
ment i have Root browser and ES file explorer*
there's no Symlink with them but there is a create shortcut in Root browser is that the same?
There should be a way to link them using those. Give it a try and see.
