Music folders album art shows up as well as some other stuff. For example, some apps keep a folder on the sdcard for thumbs etc. I tried copying a .nomedia file from one folder to another and that didn't work. Anyone know?

Any folder that you don't want to show up in gallery just put a generic file in there named ".nomedia".
Well on Supreme Sense v8, all you have to do is hit menu then the show/hide option and you can select what folders are to stay visible and which ones are to be hidden.

Did you go into the app called dev tools afterward and run the media scanner? The phone doesn't scan everything immediately and if you force a rescan it will refresh your gallery. This is what I do in cyanogenmod anyway. Rebooting the phone would probably do the same thing.

Or something to lock the current photo app?
Thanks.
I just saw two in the market...sexting vault was one I think. Can't remember the other.
PhotoVault works good. You can hide individual pics, they wont show up in your stock gallery. Have to sign in w/ a password in the app to see the blocked pics....
I recommend photovault "sextingvault" just sounds suspicious. Its the same app. But better name.

The Easy way to hide photos is to mount the sdcard to your computer or use Astro or EStrongs File Explorer and just move all the photos you want hidden to another folder on the sdcard and name the folder .Whatever
Just put a Period . in front of the folder name and the Gallery app will not look for photo's in that folder so it hides them.
All you have to do is navigate to the folder with Astro etc and then view the photos from there.
This is how i hide photo's as most people are not going to go using a file explorer to go find photo's

The absolute easiest and probably best gallery app available is quickpic. It has just what you are looking for.
You can also make any folder hidden by adding * before the folder name.

Audio Manager (Hide it pro). Its awesome! It hides pictures, apps, music, and it even locks any apps you want. Best part, is that the app disguises itself as a volume controller app. Check it out.

So I'm loving my Infuse, but I'm having a problem. Whenever I turn it off and then back on (which so far has only been when it dies) my home screen always gets screwed up. My Pandora widget disappears, and I am not able to add it back unless I reinstall the app. Also I have a firefox icon in the app tray at the bottom, and that disappears too.
What can I do to fix this?
by any chance does you live wallpaper change too?
i haven't noticed icons or widgets disappearing but i noticed my wallpaper goes back to stock after a reboot.
I've had the stock wallpaper all along so I have no idea, ill try it out and see what happens.
You need to install apps on phone not external SD card that will fix it. At least the live wallpaper.

I put on a live wallpaper and it stayed there after reboot, but my Pandora widget still disappeared, and I had Dolphin browser instead of Firefox in the app tray, but that disappears too.
How do I choose to install apps to the phone?
Go to settings,application, ext SD card in the top right, find application you want to move click it it will say move to phone click it. It will install on phone

eroracing, thanks for your posts about this issue - I already exchanged my infuse once, but am too chicken to reboot this new one yet. I followed your instructions about the SD card; my phone came with an external SD card and there's also an internal card listed in the "SD card and phone storage" menu, as well as the phone storage itself. I'm hoping the 'sd card' on the far right in the Applications menu is referring to the external card.
I moved what I could to the phone, but I'm still too chicken to reboot!

Yes the one all the way to the right. And I'm not sure what you mean you don't want to reboot your phone. Just power off and back on again.

Ok, I finally screwed up the courage to power my infuse off and back on, and all is ok. Whew! Because of course once you get this large a screen, you just can't go back to something smaller!
Its really annoying necause whemever i open my gallery it shows me no only captured and downloaded pictures(what i want to see)but ally my videos on my externel sd card like full length videos

download an app called gallery excluder from the play store
it gives you the ability to choose which folders to exclude/view in the gallery app
Put a .nomedia file in a folder to prevent it from beeing scanned

I got tired of looking for a Q&A thread for my issue so i just created this one. I just installed "[ROM] [LOTK] [OFFICIAL] [Nightlies] [6/12/13] [d2vzw] PAC-Man ****HELLO HALO****" and was wondering why my pics arent displayed in my gallery? They are still on the SD card, but can only access them through any file manager app.

Did you disable your media scanner? That's what's responsible for making them appear in your gallery.
Reboot your phone and let it sit for an hour, allow the scanner to do its job and they should appear in your gallery. If you used an app to disable it, then re-enable it first.

Honestly I wouldn't know a way to disable the media scanner, so I doubt I did that. But I would like to know how to check to see it the media scanner is enabled.
Maybe try a different gallery, try quickpic.

Then you didn't disable it, download media scanner from the playstore and force start it. Once it finishes scanning it'll add whatever pictures you have to your gallery

So I downloaded Media Scanner by Clypher and that didn't do anything. I switched back to a different ROM a my pics are displayed in the gallery. I've owned several other phones that I've rooted and never come across this issue. I was beginning to like that PAC man ROM too.

As the title says, I'm looking for an automatic wallpaper changer app. Must have the usual stuff; time presets, pointing to custom folder, etc.
But the most important part, also the reason why I've resorted to asking here after spending countless hours at the play store, is an app that allows me to customize each photo's alignment. My photos are mostly out of alignment whenever I use the more popular wallpaper apps out there. So I'm looking for one which allows me to preset the view for each photo before I let the program run.
Anyone with a suggestion?

I thought this app use to be a lot better. Older versions allowed you to create folders, then use a file explorer to manually add pictures from different folders. Now you can only select pictures using the gallery. I liked the file manager method

Maybe we're using 2 different apps. When I click on "add image" I don't see any option for adding images to my folder using ES File Explorer which is what I use.

That's what I see too. The file explorer comes up when adding a folder so I see your point now.

I'm using muzei with local files for this purpose. If you don't like the blur & dim effect you can disable it!
