Quick Question...why do picture hide, picture vault, apps...need all those permissions?? I dont understand why they need internet access to hide pictures..anyone has an explanation? Thanks!!
If you need to hide your pr0n, you don't need those apps. Using a file manager such as ES File Explorer, create a new folder with a "." in front of it (Ex. ".Pictures"). The phone doesn't search for media in folders with a "." in front of their name. I think for ES File Explorer, you'll have to go into the settings so you can view all the folders with a "."

Vault is a great free app to hide things

I believe that creating a .nomedia file in what ever folder you don't want to be scanned will do the trick also

You hide & secure folders with QuickPic.
It works. Like a charm. The stock my files.apk Will work also. You have to go into settings and click hidden files. And there you be. And the best part is. Most people are not tech savy so they don't know about it. I named mine. Binary. Lol

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...

Just Wondering if Anyone With Cricket's Muve Music Version of this device could pull their default build.prop file and post it here, i am working on a theory on enabling some higher end features.
How and what services?

Usually in /system and then build.prop, if your rooted use es file explorer to navigate to /system then long press and copy, paste the copy to the root of your sd card and transfer to xda

What I ment was unlocking the market restrictions, without having to use the modded market

Changed the name to .txt.
It might be a *little* different than the device in the market as I had an early build.
Question - how does one enable talk & data on a CDMA device???
By adding a coupleof lines into the build.prop of the device, usually all Verizon phones have the feature enabled when flashed to cricket, so I'm taking those 8 or 9 properties adding them to the prop file and replacing the default with the modified. To get it to work with this device I'm using the props from the incredible 4g

Hi, I recently noticed a .enref file that is 7kb big on the root of my sd card. I just flashed a rom to my EVO 4G as well, Digital Karma V8 Reincarnation. I formatted my sd card before installing the rom, so I know it is not from the rom itself. I opened up the file in a text editor, and in plain text the word "android" was displayed in it. Should I be worried about this file at all? What is it for?
Also, using es file explorer on my phone, I do not find the file on the root of my SD card. I will check again on my computer to see if it appears there and tell you guys.

Alright well I just checked, I can see it on ny Windows pc but not on my phone using es file explorer. Does anyone have a clue at all what this file is for?

Anyone?

A Google search doesn't turn up anything, so I'd either leave it and not stress over a 7KB file or rename it .enref.old, reboot and see if anything doesn't work. If so, you can always rename it back
Alright thank you for the information.

This is an old thread, but just in case anyone finds this thread through Google like I did, the .enref file is created by Evernote Food and can be safely deleted.

Thank you eskostar! :good:
For about the last week and a half on every ROM I've used, I've been having a strange issue. Files within the file manager, both on built-in ones and third party ones such as OI File manager, can't be moved around. The only way I have been able to move files around is with root file browser. It's almost as if my file manager has been somehow set to read-only, except I'm able to delete files. How can I fix this?
