Okay before you get all up in arms, not for dirty photos. I figure I could download photovault, but I'd really rather not, as it's not too huge of a deal.
Basically, I have a bunch of icons on my phone for use on my desktop, but I don't particularly like when I have to pick a photo for a contact or for a frame, having to scroll through my hundred or so icons.
I guess what I'm asking is has anyone found a way to hide certain folders from the gallery? Or, does anyone know how to make an icon pack, for dxtop, better home?
: )
Thanks
rename the folder to have a . in front of the name. This hides files in linux.

ITS easy，rename the floder you put picture,for example kkk。now you can rename this to .kkk。 you would find its been hidden in Gallery。
But will I still be able to access them in order to use them on my desktop?

Yea, it should have been "blk". jk, but yea, just add a . the beginning of the folder.
When I tried to rename my folder, Vista wouldn't let me. It said, "must have a valid filename" or something like that...
any help?
Download a file manager off the market, i rpefer astro and just rename it through your phone

LOL! Yeah, most us folks in the south are still a little sensitive about that and with good reason.
Only one issue with the period method. Ironically your phone will be a little *****y. When you do this, existing icons will be hidden from gallery and still work. Just remember to put NEW icons in download or some other folder to set them, then move them to the hidden folder. Icon and other picture selection screens use the gallery program to display that image selection screen. In other words, if you put new pictures directly in a hidden folder, you cant set them as icons.
There are also some apps on the Market that will create a protected area for pictures that can't be seen by the Pictures app. And yeah, I assume this would be used for your porn collection rather than your icons.

This is now made in photshop. The plan is making 5 or 7 homepages based on Home, Applications, Games, Music, Weather etc etc with on each left side a screenshot which I will paste in a x10 png photo exactly.
Questions:
How can I put the shortcuts on my screen without a title underneath it, so just a clean text.png file which will be the shortcut?
Which Launcher can you hide the bottom dock (and notification bar) totally? Or do I have to wait making this till we have 2.1 and use Launcher Pro?
Which application do I need to put the Home.png X10.png and the verticalbar.png files as pictures only without frames around it or anything? Especially the vertical bar will give problems I assume...
Hopefully somebody knows the answers and I can work with it. When it's done, I will share everything here of course...It needs quite a few hours of photoshopping and making everything the right size, but the plan is already in my head, which is half of the job...
Cheers,
Arnold
ADW launcher You can hide the icon labels, app drawer (bottom dock) and the status bar (notification bar). You hide the app drawer by holding your finger on it and when arrows show up just pull it. The icon labels can be turned off in the ADW settings.
EDIT: As for your question about the big icons..that can be done through ADW aswell but only if you compile it as a theme or using another application like BetterCut (not free if i remember correctly).
The vertical bar...i suggest you put it on the background itself because the only other way would be to make it into a gadget but in that case you would have a lot of trouble with aligning it like that (even with the overlapping function from ADW). All of the mentioned can be done but will require patience and in some cases XML editing to gain the desired effect.
EDIT(2): I'm not sure if BetterCut crops the icons or allows for big icons...someone else will have to answer that.
Hope i helped
owh.. nice work and hope u success PollPixx.. Hope it will be nice as the same you created the WP7 for WAD in windows mobile. Its really a nice work.
all of your enquiry can be used in adw launcher (donut). it really a nice launcher.
1. u can hide the label
2. status bar can be hide except for the dockbar i dont know about this one as this is a must as u need it to launch the apps
3. for the pic widget this one i still dont have it but you can try bettercut as u can paste any shorcut and even internet history
p.s. Sorry if i give wrong info. still new in android world
I have adw already, did not know you can hide labels. I will start working on it and see if better cut
Does the job as I wanted...thanks for info....

ADW Settings -> Screen preferences -> Hide StatusBar
ADW Settings -> UI Settings -> Hide icon labels
Thanks I found it.
With better cut the icons will be small. I need some picture programm to add the bigger x10 picture on my screen. It does have to be a shortcut as well. Bettercut crops my icons, Anyone?

I think if you add icons through ADW (Hold on the screen and Add->Custom shortcut) it should give you an option to adda full icon or crop an image..
But i never tested this so i'm not sure.

have you tried desktop visualizer? it's a free DL on the market... I've seen ppl use it for the effect you want, minus the vertical line
good luck on the theming
Trying it now and it should work....
Start to look nice. Will post the screens when I am finished, probably during next week...

It is working indeed: I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT BLACK STRIPE IS ABOVE DIALER, IT IS NOT ON MY SCREEN....must be something wrong with the screenshot
have to fine tune the bar so it will be in the middle, the x10 picture is not as sharp as the original so have to define the exact resolution to get it sharper and find a digital clock which is smaller than d-clock widget, than make the other 5 pages.

have you tried digital clock by maize? I know that's smaller than our stock digi clock and has more customizing options.
I use now our stock clock but 1x1, fits perfect.
For some reason my phone is rebooting every hour all of the sudden.
When it finally starts up all widgets which i added disappeared and I have an empty homescreen. Never happened before till today...
Very annoying!
If i touch on the spots where the widgets were, it vibrates and I can swype them to the dustbin. But when i just tap on the place where the widgets should been, nothing happens! It is driving me nuts, what is wrong with the phone all of the sudden???
What I am doing now has nothing to do with root or playing in the settings, I just add homemade icons as shortcuts. I just finished HOME and APPS and now I can start all over again for the second time!! Damn.....Does anyone know or experienced the phone reboots all the time? If yes,what is the solution??
well, i give up, I reset the phone in factory settings and started all over again, just installing adw en desktop visualizer first.
When I add more than 2 pages of widgets the phone reboots all the time, it must be desktop visualizer, further on my phone is empty now. I come this far and than it crashes all the time, spend 6 hours and result is a complete empty phone
very frustrating, all my games and settings and programs are gone with no result on this theme....
EDIT: WHEN I PUT MY TELEPHONE ON THE COMPUTER, IT WORKS, SO SOMETHING IS WRONG ON MY SD CARD....
HOW CAN I FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH IT AND HOW DO I EMPTY AND CLEAN IT COMPLETELY?
Edit 2: The icons will not load after reboot...damn....i am really lost now...
Edit 3: reboot again and now it says, "no sim", i think i ruined my phone somehow....HELP!!!!
try flashing with SEUS or pc companion, that should totally repair your phone.
regards DauL
Thanks..... i know, but how do you do that, without sim my computer doesn't recoginze my phone in pc compagnion. This is sooooooooo frustrating, something must be wrong on my sd card, if it's working and I say IF, first thing i do is formatting my sd card (first copy the files to the computer). When I do that, which files on SD card I have to keep on it to avoid my phone bricks again ???

Sorry to hear about your project, there's nothing worse than spending hours of work for no apparent reason. Can't you use SEUS instead without the sim card?

Just format the card and put it back in, the phone, I would imagine will just rewrite the essential files, I think. I've done it before and it worked ok.
thanks, I go now to a repair centre which is luckily in my town I called them, know someone who works there and he says he can reset my phone.
I will delete all files from my sd card and put music/video/pictures back on and put it in my phone than to see what happens, thanks for the quick reply, hopefully it will work out.
Maybe using shootme with the 1 click root system ruined it, i installed that recently or Desktop Visualizer, that's the other new thing on my phone. Since than the problems started...
I am guessing it was shootme, as Desktop Visualizer works for everyone if you read all the comments about it....
Still frustrated by the way

You could save yourself the trip and run SEUS yourself, if that fails then go.

I'm one click rooted too and haven't had any issues since installing ShootMe, so not sure it would be that.

Try without that and see what happens, it may well work for others, but if the majority of them are using solid built themes, and your just in the process of making/testing one, it could just be a compatibility issue that you've not yet pinpointed.
flashing right now, thanks, i will post the progress today....just in case other unlucky members have the same problem
Flashing seems to be okay, I lost of course everything i installed, but it starts up again.
Next move, only install ADW and Desktop Visualizer in 2 hours, first i don't want to have a reboot for 2 hours to be sure...
If it goes wrong again, I know where the problem was......
flashed it and everything is working again. Even my new project goes well after reboot...i thaught....but after 2 pages again it is restarting every minute and i have to flash again. so it is proven for me Desktop Visualizer will not work on our phones when you want to add several pages full of widgets....
Is there any other tool than desktop visualizer which get the job done?
Or a home programm like ADW which you can set a different wallpaper for each page! That would do the trick to, than I make everything in photoshop and add with bettercut blank .png files for the shortcut on the right places....
Cheers,
Arnold
Is anyone else experiencing their icons on any of their home screens disappearing when attempting to move them? After long pressing, and "picking up" the icon, trying to move it to a new position will cause it to either revert back to the old position (meaning, simply can't move them) or just flat out disappear entirely.
Problem persists until rebooting, in which I find all the icons I attempted to move in one of my folders in my home screen.
Just adding to the slew of Gingerbread glitches. Anyone else?
Edit: I filed a report to Google: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13434 If you're also experiencing this, please visit the link and star, so more attention is brought to Google.
Really, no one else?
In general, sometimes icon apps refuse to be moved.
Yeah I'm getting something similar. Like when I try to add an icon on the bottom section closest to the trashcan, it automatically goes to the trash.
I even tried placing it on the corner but no dice.
After further experimenting, it seems that it only happens on the last screen on the right.
I tried the other screens, and was able to actually place the icons on the bottom section.

Oddly, it happens to me mostly on the screen farthest left. Ridiculous. The slew of glitches with Gingerbread continue.

I found out where all those icons went, they all showed up in a folder that I had on another screen which I named "sports" because it's where I keep the apps that I use for all my sports needs. When I opened it I saw like 10 google voice shortcuts because that's the app shortcut that I've been trying to add. Wired glitch.

Somehow my phone number was entered into some phonespy thing, idk u can search it or their home web page is mossi.com , anyways for the last two days I've been getting this logo that appears on the status bar, its a red star in a white circle if you want to know but it doesnt matter. It's an ad and must go. So when I see it I pull down the status bar, it might be a sense thing idk, htc sensation if its important. Well here's the part that is important, in bold it says phonespy, and in regular text it says "to optout go to ....." I can only see half of the url!!!! And when I click on it my browser opens up to one of their pages with more ads and no option to opt out. Is there a way to view old notifications? Or at least next time when I get one because I know I will to view the notification in full????
Please if anyone can help it would save me from throwing my phone against the wall and spamming the email I found during a whois search. Jk. But help would be greatly appreciated.

Best guess,
Look at the apps you've installed in the last little while. The notification bar adds are probally coming from one of them. Any apps that were non-market installed...more than likely from them.
I've got a widget from 'best apps market' (availible in the android market) that shows last 5 apps installed and options to remove, etc.
If the adds are being txted to you then try blocking the phone number.
Best of luck.
Edit: I did have an app spam me, it was a tetris type game. Had the 'extra space' so as to not be copywrite sued (world tetris??)....uninstalled soon after and they've left me alone.
Hi, I have a one x on ATT, 2.20 rooted running cm10.
I have finally gotten a little settled on the way my phone works and now i want to change the looks. I've posted screenshots below. First off, I want a clock/weather widget that is similar to the one I have on my lockscreen. I found that as the dafault for cm10 and i have no idea how to get one for my homescreen. Can someone point me to a place where i can find a bunch of widgets or that specific kind?
Also, I want to change my notification bar,not just a black strip, and the icons(in the notification bar and home screen). How would i get to that? Am i suppose to look for cm10 skins (because a lot of them on the playstore seem like the same thing, rehashed with different colors)?
I've really enjoyed this forum and has helped me a lot (i just rooted it last night) and would really appreciate some help ! Thanks!
*ok i cant link outside of this site. any way to show these pics?
