Hi there,
I've been reading this forum and other forums for a while now but can't find a sollution for a current problem that i have.
My gallery displays alot of folders with images and i wanted to remove a couple of folders from it. So i searched for a sollution and found out that when you add a file to the folder named .noimage or .nomedia the folder would not appear into the gallery. That's true but after adding more photos to the folder the folder shows up again in the gallery... even when the .noimage or .nomedia is still there. When i replace the .noimage or .nomedia the gallery will hide those folders again.
Any others that have the same problem?
ps sorry for my poor english
I have attempted numerous times to change the Online, Offline, Away, and Busy presence files in the Google Talk app. This images are located in the assets folder. Although I replace them, recompile and resign, my modified images do not show. I still see the original images. If I view the contents of the APK, they are there in the assets folder. Am I missing something?
How to stop the automatic creation of ".nomedia" file in a specific folder ?
Can you please let me know the steps to stop the creation of ".nomedia "file in a specific folder( Ex : Abcd album) so that i am able to the pictures of it in the gallery.Every now and then it gets created and i had to delete it manually. I am using Whatsremoved App which stores the deleted files and statuses from WhatsApp in a folder but in the folder .nomedia files gets created, thus that folder did not come in the gallery and gets hidden, no matter how many times i delete that file it keeps coming.
Also, i had used this same app on my old Moto G4 Plus and i did not face the same issue on that phone.
Please suggest a solution
I have renamed DCIM folder and its vanished, But it contained 30 GB of photos. But in microseconds.
Anyone could advice whether can restore. thanks.
Do you mean that folder and all photos in it have disappeared after you renamed the folder?
In general, this is impossible. Open the 'Files' app to find the renamed folder and your photos.
Hi Mr James,
Yes, totally gone missing. It was about 30gb.

Did you have them backed up on the PC?
Renaming that folder as is now obvious to you is not a good idea, here's why.
Why Does Every Camera Put Photos in a DCIM Folder?
Every camera — whether it’s a dedicated digital camera or the Camera app on Android or iPhone — places the photos you take in a DCIM folder. DCIM stands for “Digital Camera Images.”
www.google.com
The camera will also not recognize the renamed folder when you take a picture unless you edit the cam app's coding.
I copy the DCIM folder subfolders to a renamed folder on my SD card then back that folder up. I then delete the images in the DCIM subfolders and start over about once a month.
If you really deleted the DCIM folder (I don't think this is possible on a stock Android but never tried it!) things will get dicey.
Search by file type, image or jpeg and check the SD card. If MiX file explorer is already installed try using that. If they have been deleted the files are still there until they are overwritten. Using the device can cause this to happen.
Use only known good recovery software; some offer free recovery but encrypt the results and require a payment to unencrypted the actual images all the while potentially overwriting the originals if it hasn't already deleted them.
Be warned.
If you do manage to recover them it will only be the image files. The folder structure is already lost and the image exit information is disassociated from its image, lost is a sea of files. So there be no timespamp, pic number or any other information for the images and no way to recreate it. 30gb be a complete jigsaw puzzle of images in mostly random order. You can sort by file type but that's all.
You better hope it was renamed and not deleted!!!

Hi,
Thanks for your kind support.
i will try the above and update the output. thanks.
Hi,
Is this only me or can someone confirm that Messenger and Facebook do not display screenshots when I try send/post image. I see all other folders like WhatsApp etc. but apps do not see screenshot folder and I can't send them.
On Android 12 I have two screenshot folder. One old in the DCIM folder, and a new on the pictures folder.
After a update sometimes permission of folders gets messup.
To fix copy all yours files from misbehaving folder, to a new folder you just create, then delete the misbehaving folder, now take a screenshot the folder must be recreated by system automatic, then place all yours copy files on the new folder.
Then check if app can see it.
