Is there an application out there that can batch rename photos by EXIF date? I had an application on Windows Mobile that could, but can't seem to find one for Android.
It makes it easier for me to keep my photos organized by having them named by date/time.
Single bump with hope that something might exist.
There is an app in the market called RE.* (just search for "renamer" in the market).
It requires java knowledge though and I cant figure out how to search for a text string and then replace it - i'm positive the app can do it but we need instructions!!!
All i want to do is search a folder for say "IMG" and rename it to "holidays" etc for some photos.
Anyone know how to get this app to work or of any other apps to do this???

I have noticed that android apps are horrible with file management. When you install an app on the phone it installs a whole new file hierarchy.
Example... when you install Meme Generator it creates a memegenerator folder within that folder it caches Favorites, Instances, Generators, and shares
when you delete the app it doesn't remove this folder or any of its contents
My idea is an app that would scan folders and mark if the folder is useless or not. Especially the unknown data folders that say something like com.fatsecret.android and have nothing but random .dat files or a .nomedia folder/file. Almost like a registry checker for a PC.
Another idea is to have an app that scans the SD card and locates all media. It would tell you how many of what type of file you have on your phone, and allow you to mass move to selected folders (Not copy or transfer but actually move th file to its new location)
im no programer but these would be great apps if they were to be developed
It would be really great man, unfortunately, I'm not able to develop things like this, but let me know about if it's ready.

Lmfao i neglected to mention I am only beginning to learn the android programming. So im in no position to even comprehend programming this ... but im researching the possibility.

File management is very messy at the moment. Something needs to give!
I agree, I've been looking for a decent file manager, but haven't found anything yet!

There are quite a few but 'Astro' seems to be the most popular. Give it a try!
I use Astro and i'm quite happy with it.
The question would be how to determine useless folders.

My initial idea was to use a system similar to a windows registry. Once the app starts for the first time it will create a database that stores folder data, which then it tries to match to an app that installed it. If the folder shows that the app that created it has been deleted it shows a red folder or has a negative mark next to it, if its still installed it shows a positive or green folder. This way you can get rid of the bad folders.
My second idea was to have an app create a drop folder for certain file types. For instance a folder like MY DOCUMENTS that has the folders MUSIC, PICTURES, AND VIDEOS. When the app starts it has you select a folder to drop a specific file type (example .MP3 files into MY DOCUMENTS/MUSIC). The all then media scans the phone and locate all matching file types and MOVES the file not COPYS.

Something kinda similar to what you want was introduced in FroYo. It gives each app a directory (on the SD card I don't know about onboard memory) that is automatically deleted by the system when the app is installed. Currently it has a few fairly big bugs but hopefully they will get fixed and developers will start to use it.

That sounds liie it will be excellent once its implemented. I'm sure as most new things take time to catch on this will probably take a little while for it to happen. Maybe Google is going to make it mandatory for devs to do this.

It wouldn't necessarily have to be an app but some process that would make create or add to (create a sub-directory) default folders. I'm not saying it has to be a window like system but as simple as it gets Music, Images, Documents, Downloads maybe a spare folder for necessary background files (Hidden) But accessible when needed. The biggest problem here is that I don't think too many people that want this solution are programmers. because if you know how to program then you spend all day sorting throu this stuff anyway.
Well i'm on 2.2.1 and the system still keeps the settings folders in /dbdata/databases/*packagename* after you uninstalled it.
I usually resort to deleting the folders in adb shell when programming and testing apps.
So it seems there is need for this and there is no such tool yet?
I might start on it then, do you think there is enough intrest in something like that?
Help me with the most difficult and important step, invent a name for such an app !
Sounds like a useful tool. Great idea.
I'm constantly searching through my sd card and trying to figure out what can be deleted.

Is there a way to pull XAPs off of your phone? I'd like to pull a few apps with ugly icons off and edit their icons (it's fairly easy, I've done it before with stuff off of XDA).
... people keep asking this. The reasons vary but the question has been asked a lot.
The phone doesn't even store the XAP files, so no. It's like asking if you can get the "setup.exe" out of somebody's copy of a PC game.
However, the files in the XAP, and for your particular case the images in the XAP, are unpacked onto the phone's filesystem in \Applications\Install\<APP_GUID>\Install\. You can use an app like WP7 Root Tools to access them. I can't promise it'll work with marketplace apps (the binaries, at least, are signed and the signatures are checked every time the app is loaded) but it's quite possible there are no hash checks on content files.
Advanced Config allows you to change the icons for any app. If it's a free app there is a program floating around here that allows you to download the xaps to your computer from the marketplace then you can use winrar or whatever zip program you want and replace the app icon.
Anyone know of a simple way to stop the gallery from Showing all folders? I've got stuff on my SD card that I don't feel is appropriate for my young children to see (primarily "R" rated movies) & my 4 y/o daughter loves to "look @ pictures, daddy" when we're in the car.
Any way to keep the folder containing these files from being shown in the gallery? Can/should I uninstall the gallery app & use a substitute?
I heard a while back that you can I insert a text file like ".nomedia" but have no idea how to do that.
Any suggestions / ideas (that don't include "remove that crap" or "control your kids!" LÖL) are appreciated. If the suggestion is a .nomedia file or some such, detailed instructions would also be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

An easy way to add the .nomedia file is to download the free version of Super Manager from the Play Store. (or paid if you decide you like it) Once you have it open it and go to the file manager. Open up the folder you want hidden so that you can see its contents. At the bottom of the app there is a bar with different buttons. One of them looks like the Windows Media Player icon with a check mark and an X on it and says media below it. Tapping that icon will add/remove a .nomedia file in the open folder.
May not be the most simplistic way but I always had trouble finding something that would let me create just a standard file type I could turn in to the .nomedia file. All most file manager apps let you create is a folder which wont work.
Thanks for the advice! Embarrassing as this is, I "cheated" & looked for an answer on Google @ the same time I posted the question.
Turns out the easiest way for me was to change the name of the folder from "Interesting" to ".Interesting"
Folder disappeared and is no longer assessable through the gallery.
Sorry for the wasted time but I appreciate the answer. Next time, I'll be a little less lazy & a little more aware of the power of the Goog....

Thanks!

I use an app called Vaulty (free version) or Stocks (paid version of Vaulty). It works well for hiding media from prying eyes. Entering anything other than the correct password on the program's opening page just performs a stock market lookup, so as far as anyone else is concerned, it's just another stock market app.
Hi,
I recently launched my new app at Google Play and know I want to present it here!
Auto Move is an app, which moves all the files you want to your desired location - and you don't have to do anything for it!
Example: You want every PDF file you are downloading to be moved to a certain destination. That's no problem for Auto Move!
In order to get the app working like this, you have to add a filter, which is filtering for "pdf" files - if you want it to filter for several filetypes at once, that's no problem - just seperate the filter tags by commas. Alternatively it's possible to filter for the filename (e.g. "wallpaper" or "university").
After defining source and target destination you can save the filter now (or add just more filters) and begin filtering!
There's an option in the settings, which let you define how the app should work in the backgroud:
Service: The app will register new files automatically and begin to move them.
Time Intervall: The app will scan the filesystem for new files in the defined intervall.
no automatic filtering: The app won't do anything accept to told him so manually.
All advantages of the app:
unlimited amout of filters
easy configuration because of several filterwords in one filter
filtering for file extension or file name is possible
moving or copying of the files is possible
automatic moving (with service) oder by time intervall is possible
loss of data isn't possible since backup and restore feature
great design
RESTRICTIONS OF THE FREE VERSION:
there is a maximum of one filter
you can't restore a database backup
I've attached some screenshots, that you can look at the app.
I hope you like my app! If don't please contact me!

What a most smart app I've ever seen! Good work
Can you add the case about apk files which require root permissions or xposed framework or not?
@marbulas
Thank you very much!
Do you mean that it should possible to filter for apk files with these different properties?

I think many people will need this app being much smarter.
(the specified amount of size of files, resorting files in specified directory based in date
(for example, many people will need to sort with folders about their photos and videos : if I take pictures today, the app put them into the folder names 20140915 made by the app automatically),
specied something other people suggests...)
Useful app i'm gone use it from now on! Keep the improvements coming
Thank you very much guys!
I'm going to look how difficult it is to implement these features!
I am using a cloned LINE account created by the built-in function...everything works perfectly fine...
but I have 2 questions...
a) I am aware of folder emulated/999 but I am looking for a data/data/ folder style to modifysome database files...
I am able to modify the database file for the original LINE app, but this change will not affect the cloned LINE app...
I suspect it does not create any cloned folder like the 3rd party Parallel space app does, right? anyone has an idea how to modify the cloned app?
b) any way to change icon of the cloned app? it is a bit messy that both look exactly the same... (the orange symbol was there only for short time, then it disappeared)
thanks for any suggestions
I was modifying WhatsApp and on 6t the file I was looking for was in data/user/999
Way I find that file was, I went to search in fx File Explorer, and I was looking for file that contains Your mobile number/ user ID. The file was registration.RegisterPhone.xml - as out has to be where the parallel app files are located.
