[Q] How do I hide media files from gallery ? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I have media on my tablet. When I don't want to show it on my phone I prefix the file with a period in a file manager app.
That method isn't working on me prime. I do not want to use an app to accomplish this. Suggestions?

get the free app called quick pic. allows you to hide what ever folder or pix you want. it works great.

Seriously off topic. Should be posted in the general Android section. Actually Google would tell you the answer in about 30 seconds...

You can use StudioKuma .nomedia Manager from PlayStore
This works fine

I see the XDA Gestapo is making an appearance.

Put them in any folder with a name starting with a period. You could make for example: "/sdcard/.secretpornfolder"

I also recommend Quick Pic but just pointing out that the stock gallery app is extremely buggy and even after putting a nomedia file in a folder you want to hide it doesn't start hiding the folder until you wipe the data of the gallery app so that it refreshes the folder list. Don't bother with it though and use Quick Pic instead.

Ha! Good one

Run into this one - I use HIDE IT PRO - apart from media files you can lock and hide apps etc - I use it mostly to hide bloatware from my apps list as I find it annoying. But easy interface for hiding and restoring pictures and nice audio manager interface would help many of you guys when your wives get hands on your tablet to play solitaire and not finding applications or pictures you wanted to share
Not like I encourage anyone to do anything bad to they beloved wives, but...

Any way to remove the new Facebook camera/messenger app?

It now comes installed with Facebook and i don't want another camera icon in my app drawer. I'm using touch wiz so using another launcher is out of the question. I've checked Tibu and it doesn't see it. I'm sure others would find this info useful as well.

Sorry don't have an answer, but you're not the only one. I've been trying to find a way to remove the redundant camera and messenger app icons as well.
I've figured the best solution is to reinstall an older version, but then we'll never get any of the newer patches/updates without a solid solution.
Dont use the stock app. Use the app called "fast facebook" it is locally made from here at XDA and makes facebook browsing way better.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.fastfacebook.com&hl=en
I just noticed the new icons and wrote a quick app to remove them. Unfortunately it doesn't work since 3rd-party apps can't get access to "android.permission.CHANGE_COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE" (which makes sense) and can only disable icons for their own application. Going to see if root helps...
Root did the trick, Facebook Icon Remover. Hope it helps and let me know if you run into any issues.

Could this be extended to other apps with extra icons?
How does the icon removing work? I uninstalled facebook with root explorer from /system/app since I barely use it, deleting every apk I could, now the facebook icon is gone from the launcher but the camera/messenger are still there, and there's no apk named after those. Where should I look in my system folder?

It certainly could. There is a little detective work involved with figuring out the package/component names (they are hard coded in this app) but I am already working on extending this to allow the disabling/hiding of any application icon.

The app is using the 'pm' (package manager) command to disable two components (activities) in the Facebook package. It probably won't work if you've already uninstalled it. The components should be part of the com.facebook.katana-2.apk package (that's how it was named on my devices, both in /data/app/). You could try reinstalling Facebook, using this tool and then uninstalling to see if that removes the icons.

ICS users can simply select the 'Hide applications' from the action bar in the application drawer and then tap the applications to hide. You can then select 'Show hidden applications' from the application bar to un-hide them. I don't have an ICS device on me and only have one day experience with it (just got my Galaxy Tab 2 yesterday) but hope this helps. If not let me know and I can provide more detailed steps tonight.

Nevermind I removed manually the fb.katana from /data/app and its folder in /data/data and everything disappeared. Yay!
The only thing left is in Settings>apps managemente>all, there's still the com.facebook.katana listed even tho I already uninstalled all updates, weighting 0.0B and with the SD card icon. I tried to look for it in the SD directory but I found nothing. It's not a big deal in the end but I'm a perfectionist.
This also happened for Gmail and Google Quicksearch Box, while for Wisepilot after a reboot the broken SD link was gone.

I may have been given incorrect information regarding the "Hide Applications" being a stock option in ICS. Can you try the attached apk and see if it works for you on ICS? If it doesn't work then any logcat output you can send would help me troubleshoot (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat if you don't have a way to view/save logcat logs already).
Thanks for the apk. It did work on my HTC One S.

Nice, I'd happily donate for that!
I've tried your original app on my Xperia X10 (2.3) and it's worked as described.
I tried your app on CM 9 on Optimus 2x and I get an error when trying to hide both.
"An error occurred while disabling Camera icon. Verify your device is rooted and try again."
My device is rooted, I even got the Superuser popup asking for permission.

How to: Polaris Office on EVO. Its system-hidden

http://blog.onthegosolutions.com/index.php/2012/05/01/hidden-power-saver-menu-htc-one-x/
this trick to access the power save menu, do the exact same thing, only after you check "start another activity" --> the select "select an activity or shortcut" --> stay on the activity list and scroll down to Polaris Office, and select it. Bam, now you have an icon app link to polaris office front page, allowing you to create new documents or edit documents.
This minimalistic text app is AWESOME.
found it in the one X forums.
Cool, but begs the question, why is Polaris Office installed with no app menu shortcut?
this is an excellent question. I was so mad at my 3d for being root locked and I couldn't get polaris off, but its here. and works fine. a BUNCH of stuff is hidden on this phone. I also wonder why
It's integrated into Sense 4.0. That's the only thing I can think of.
By the way, any replacement launcher will let you see the Polaris Office App like normal.
Here's another solution for Polaris Office:
Install ES file Explorer.
Open the Application Manager.
Scroll and find Polaris Office.
Long press and choose create short cut.
You now have a proper shortcut complete with the right Icon.
you know,I have es file explorer,I did this and HOLY SHISTER there a lot of apps with no links to. ringtone trimmer? picasa? soundhound? polaris? this rocks

If you don't see it by default in app managet. Select Category - All. You will see them then.

I noticed that when I installed any replacement launchers, these icons became visible and I was able to open these. The only bad thing, I have several of these as paid apps like Soundhound. So I have two entries of some the files. But still, not sure why they were hidden.

My first android phone is SGS3 and ...
I have so very many questions I dont even know where to start. Just like it said in the video I am a noob so this might even be in the wrong section.
For the starters a few questions come to mind (and yes, I did use the search button, viewed tens maybe hundreds of forum pages) so please would someone be so kind and help me with following
1] In the browser, when I click bookmarks, I find local but under that two other empty folders with my gmail adress but both empty. How do I remove them?
2] How to properly setup mail for exchange. I have my gmail and hotmail accounts added. Sometimes they work sometimes they dont and how the widget updates is really beyond me.
3] One thing that really bothers me since I like to keep my devices clean and arranged is uninstalling apps and games. I noticed that after uninstalling some files remain.
4] Another thing is that mostly with trial versions of apps, I cant seem to find them anywhere in my files folder therefore I cant check if after uninstalling all the junk is removed.
Besides that I can say that the phone is pretty good although the build and the pentile is kinda let down but enough has been said on this forum on that subject.
Thank you for your answers.

Honestly, I recommend using Google Chrome. You can download it from the market.
The folders with your Gmail address are for sync across devices. Afaik it can be disabled by System Settings->Accounts&Sync->[Email address]->untick "Sync Browser"

The same issue as on all computers... messy apps. The files on the sdcard do not really belong to the app so Android cannot delete them automatically. I agree that it's a terrible chaos after trying out several apps which is very annoying. Sadly that issue is present with all computers including GNU/Linux, Windows, ...

You cannot see the app installation folder since the system hides them. All you can see is the before-mentioned junk.
The files in the correct folder (=the one you cannot see) are always correctly removed.

new also to SGSlll
I'm also new to the SGSlll and I have a the same questions that were answered and it helped a lot but I got a couple of my own if it's not to imposing to ask,
1) Somehow the green call button that used to be beside the number or the name of the contact in the logs section disappeared and I know I can swipe to call it, but I would like that button back because it is easier for me. I don't know whether this was gone from the recent update.
2) why is there some games and apps that I can't find in play store, I tried to DL them from the Internet and it said you can't DL them in your country (Egypt) is there anything I could that will allow me to DL them?
3) Is there any ways to create a folder so that I can put all the games together for example??
Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience as I said am still new to andriods.

Restrictions can be imposed on multiple levels
- Hardware specs (notably display resolution)
- Android Version
- Hardware name
- Country
- Carrier
In your case it seems to be the country. There are multiple descriptions on XDA and other sites, but afaik all of them include using a Proxy server. It's not trivial but unfortunately the only method for accessing them from the Play Store.

Not on the stock launcher afaik. You can create folders on the home screen but not in the app drawer.
There exist several other free Launchers in the Play Store capable of creating folders, try them out.

You can create folders in the apps drawer by clicking the left menu button > edit. Then drag an app (you should be able to see an empty folder icon at bottom left corner) and mount it over the folder icon. The app will now appear in a folder. Rest of the apps can be moved to the folder as well and you can name it whatever you like. Be sure to save the setting at top right corner. This folder can also be dragged to the home screen menu. Hope this helps.

That works well, did not know this. Personally I like to use Apps Organizer by Fabio Collini (on the Market for free). It also gives u the opportunity to create folders with your themed apps (i.e. games / tools / navigation / ...) The advantage here is that you can select your own icon for the folder to go on your home screen. Especially if you have a lot of themed folders (like I do) you can create a much nicer look this way.

The call button on the right side was removed in the LFB update. Samsung probably thought it was redundant and I agree with that. They could have made it optional though.
At the moment there's no way to get that back unless you replace that particular apk (dialer.apk maybe) with the older version of it.

That's fully configurable. Dropbox doesn't upload anything except you actually tell it to.
Go to Settings->Accounts->Sync and disable the Sync accounts and settings you do not need or want.
I'd recommend syncing Contacts+Bookmarks through Google and using SMS Backup+ to sync call logs and SMS.
With those present, even a lost/broken device would be acceptable in terms of data loss to me.

Upon the first start of Sygic, the user can either purchase a map or activate a free trial. For the purposes of the free trial, any map can be downloaded. Sygic will let you use the map and the app with almost full functionality for a whole week before you are asked to purchase.Sygic boasts a variety of functions. This includes, of course, normal navigation through the input of a desired address: simply select the appropriate country, enter a city, street and house number and you can start your navigation. In addition, a home address can be stored.

I dont know why the .nomedia option isnt working for you, anyway 2 options for you, you could either try making a folder called .nomedia and put all the sygic pix inside that folder, or a slightly longer way would be to edit the names of the pictures you dont want visible, just add a full stop at the start of file name..... eg if pic you want to hide is called pic1.jpeg you would change it to .pic1.jpeg then it wont show in gallery

Mystery Data file in Gallery

I keep getting a mystery data file in my gallery app. I try to play the file because it shows up as a video but it doesn't work. I delete it and it eventually comes back. Here is a screenshot of the details of it. Does anyone have a suggestion of where this is coming from and how to get rid of it? Thanks!
I have the same thing. I think it showed up when I made a video available off line on drive. I haven't tried to get rid of it yet so I'm not completely sure on that.

TTS = text to speech, so it is probably related to that.
TTS File
I believe this is caused by a misplaced cache file used by TTS (Text-to_Speech) that is showing up in your gallery. It was probably created if you opened the TTS service under Accessibility in the Settings app. It should be safe to delete but may reappear if TTS is activated, directly or indirectly, again.

It looks like your gallery is mistaking the .tts file for a video file. Apparently .tts can be a file extension for MPEG-2 video formats. Check out this link for more information.
If you want it to stop showing up (and you are rooted) use a file explorer to put a blank ".nomedia" file in the /storage/external_SD/Android/data/ folder and reboot your phone. Or if I remember right, the G3 has a way to hide media files which you dont want to be seen or want to keep private.
