Not sure if it's the device or kitkat 4.4.2 sepifically? I've been using Vaulty in the past on previous device on android 4.2 and worked fine. I have private photos saved on my external sd card but want them hidden on my device. The stock gallery photo app shows everything, trying to avoid this. I know in the gallery app you can choose to not show certain folders but anyone can toggle this feature.
Basically want to hide the pictures i have on my sd card. I installed Vaulty which does not hide anything on this device. I found an app Gallery Lock lite which does but as soon as i reboot my device the "hidden" pictures are again visible in the stock gallery photo app. Any ideas on this? I have the private photos now saved in the Gallery Lock lite app so maybe now just delete them off my SD card and they won't show on stock gallery photo app?
Then if i take private photos with the phone's camera i hide them with this app and if photo is still in gallery just delete and the app will still have a copy saved inside? Seems confusing on this thing when it was so simple on my previous device, HTC One X+.
Should be able to create a .nomedia file and put it in the directory where the pictures are. This will make the phone ignore that directory when scanning for media.

5 best android apps to hide photos and videos
You can use apps to hide photos and video. And this's 5 best android apps to hide photos and videos
1. Hide Pictures Keep Safe Vault - is one of the best apps to lock away your personal pictures and videos with ease. The app makes it effortless to simply store away your videos and photos in a safe vault. The separate gallery is kept hidden from the regular ones. I have used the basic version of the app for a while and it worked perfectly.
2. Gallery Lock (Hide pictures) - is one of the most popular apps around for Android. Almost every friend of mine recommends this free app for daily usage. I was pleasantly suspired to see the robust feature list of this app. Gallery Lock comes with almost every feature you would want from an app that hides photos and videos for you.
3. Hide Something - Photo, Video - With Hide-Something, your public gallery remains available to your friends, family, and coworkers. And your hidden images are only for who can unlock. With Hide-Something, you can customize your gallery when you want to show different photos to different people. With Hide-Something, you can share your photos and videos easily, even hand over your cell phone to others and no worry about your privacy.
4. Gallery Vault - Hide Video&Photo - comes with a simple and understandable interface and a good design. You simply need to move the images to the GalleryVault and they will be kept safe behind a lock code. The app also has the option of making the launch icon hidden; virtually making it completely concealed from your device.
5. Hide Pictures & Videos - FotoX - allows you to store your private pictures and photos in a secret gallery. If you want, you can take a picture directly from the app itself and it will be stored instantly. It is a great way to avoid the extra work of manually selecting pictures and hiding them in a secret vault.
Just released this app to the market yesterday (as a paid app) but I figured I'd also make a XDA thread to give it out for free, but instead of doing it in the general section, I decided to give my fellow Moto X users the treat. Screenshots & video are at the market listing ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.milone.fakedel ) but I’ve also copied the description below.
Keep your private photos hidden without anyone even knowing they are there, with the most discreet photo security app on the Play Store.
How it works:
Its purpose is to mimic the action of deleting an image from your device, but instead of deleting it, it just moves it to a hidden folder that the Gallery app does not detect.
Key Features:
•Remove images from your gallery, but move them to a hidden folder
•Utilize your own native or 3rd party gallery app to select images
•Completely customize the Discreet Delete dialog to match your UI, including actions to occur after dismissing the dialog
•View Hidden Photos with ease, share or open them in other apps just like the normal Gallery
• Two easy launch modes, create a shortcut or turn on a notification that appears whenever a new photo is taken with your camera. Both with customizable labels and both load straight into your installed gallery app to select an image to fake delete
Hide your photos in plain sight without anyone even knowing that you have anything to hide.
You'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
App Info & Permissions:
Android 2.2 and up (API 8)
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: move and delete images
android.permission.CAMERA: to detect when a new photo is taken
android.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT: create direct icon that launches the image selector
Let me know what you think.
Thanks. Pretty cool of you.

Works great thanks.
Is there any way to make this work with videos?
Hi,
I rebooted my Oneplus One yesterday and have strange issues since then:
- the ringtone and notification sounds reverted back to default...
I was using a custom ringtone located in sdcar/ringtones and a custom notification sound located in sdcard/notifications.
Both files are still present in those directories, but aren't listed into the available ringtones/notifications settings.
- the gallery app only shows pictures taken since the reboot. These files as well as the older pictures are still into sdcard/DCIM/Camera
Thanks in advance.
My Opo is rooted and running official CM12s.
Me too!
I randomly had the exact same problem, reverted to an older twrp backup and when I rebooted it was fine (ringtones working, and pictures listed) until my apps started updating. Once all the updates were done Gallery and Google photos didnt display any photos (but if i took a quick picture then and there theyd display that, just not any older photos).
And the notification sounds were broken.
I have found workarounds.
For the pictures, download the app quickpic, its sort of a replacement for Gallery. It is essentially the same just laid out differently, but most importantly it will pick up all your old pictures.
For the ringtone it seems like the folder moved or something...
I placed my custom files (.ogg files) in /system/media/audio/notifications/
They then show up when trying to select them in settings.
And you can now choose a custom ringtone.
But for some reason the notification sound doesnt work. You can see the filenames listed in the notification sound list, but when you select it no sound plays (and if you do select the custom sound as your notification sound it wont play when you get an notifications.
There's a reason why they chose Oxygen as the OS for the OnePlus Two.
EDIT
I installed Zedge which is just another program to manage ringtones and notification sounds.
So now when you go to change a notification sound in an app or in settings or something it will give you the option to open with zedge.
You can use whatever third party ringtone/notification program and it would work probably.
so tl;dr
get a third party app for pictures and videos such as quickpic
get a third party app for ringtones/notification sounds such as zedge
So I have mostly moved away from EMUI, as much as I can anyway, got way to used to Moto/Nokia devices with pure Android... Using Nova Launcher Prime, Google Photo, Google Calendar, Google Calculator, etc. and even though I have set defaults to these apps, like the default Gallery App to Photo in settings, in apps like Facebook when I go to post a picture or something it still is using Gallery to get me to pick the photo.
What do I need to do "fix" this so everything uses Photo? Use adb to disable Gallery (it's about the only thing I can think of I haven't tried)?
I do not think it's possible, I've also uninstalled several apps that come by default on the phone and I tried to use Google photos but according to a thread I follow to disable apps by adb, If the native gallery app is disabled, it would not be possible to access the thumbnail in the camera app. If you find some way to make it work, it would be great to know it too.
@acejavelin I'm with @Frankgefre . It's not only the non-working thumbnails. The Gallery is bound to the camera app. It provides features like adjusting the strengh of the bokeh effect or rendering a 3D-Panorama.
Thanks! Guess I'll just keep things as is.
You can try disabling it by adb, I'm using Google Photos instead of Emui 8 gallery app. Thumbnails works.
After that you can install again gallery app to your user 0. Or try with new user. Then use adb to remove gallery app.
This is basic behavior for the apps like Facebook it needs permission to access the Storage on your phone that includes Gallery and Photos, you can forbid this permission in phone Settings / Apps / Permissions.
