Is there such an app that exists that will allow you to password lock your gallery everytime you want to access it? This includes photos and videos.
ie: a girl im on a date with likes my phone and wants to play around with it, i dont want her going thru my gallery and seeing pics of me and other girls.
there is an app called lokpix or lokpixlite that you can set up to password protect pictures you don't want people to see. It takes them out of your gallery and puts them in it's own gallery inside the app. Then anyone can look at your gallery minus the hidden pics.

Ok fair enough, Photovault is one of the better ones.
it's not free, but its a small price to pay for not getting busted
I use file cover, it also locks videos.

- use Astro File Manager.
- creat a new folder, put stuff you dont want anyone to see in there.
- put a . in front of the folder. ie: .Private
- that folder can't be view in the Gallery, only Astro can.

Nice, thanks.
You can also put a blank file named ".nomedia" (no quotes) in any folder you dont want to show up in gallery/music/etc (but will show up in astro or similar)
i tried to create a folder named .Private , but it seems that Windows doesnt like this. It keeps telling me to type a folder name. Any1 else having problems creating a folder with a "." infront of their filename

Right because that's not a valid folder name in windows. You need to do it on your device (using a file manager program such as astro, or terminal emulator by typing something like mkdir /sdcard/images/.pron/). You could also use ADB from your computer and shell in and use mkdir that way.

You have to create a file inside the folder you wanna hide named .Private (or .nomedia).
I'm using a .nomedia file inside my 'files' folder. My wife doesn't see the need for porn on my phone, but what does she know?
Besides, I don't need my 3 year old finding such things. That would be awkward to explain...
This is not a full blown, how to program tutorial. It's a simple "Getting started with Tizen SDK for Wearables"
First, you will need to Download and Install the Tizen SDK for Wearables.
Once installed, Start the Tizen IDE.
We need to make a quick emulator to emulate our Gear 2.
On the lower left panel, the Connection Explorer, click on the first icon to start the Emulator Manager.
Click "Add New".
Choose a Name in the Detail panel, ie 'Gear2'
Change the 'Density' to 278. Leave the rest of the settings default.
Click [Confirm]
Give it a moment to create your emulator.
Now your Gear 2 emulator has been created.
Start your emulator by clicking the blue 'Play/Run' button at the bottom of your newly created emulator.
You can minimize the Connection Explorer now.
Once the emulator starts, you can choose to right click on it, and click "Always on top"
Next, Maximize the Tizen IDE.
Let's start playing with a sample project.
Click File > New > Tizen Wearable Web Project.
In the new window, click Sample > Web App > ClockWidget > and choose a Project name (ie. MyWatchFace)
You will now be back to the Tizen IDE and you will have a project (MyWatchFace?) in the Project Explorer.
Double click on the name of the project and you will see the project files.
You can edit these with custom images and code or you can just test the stock project.
At the top of the Tizen IDE, click on the green Play/Run button. This will install and start the project on the emulator. It will also build a file in your Project Explorer named the same as your project, but ending with a .wgt extention. In this case, MyWatchFace.wgt. This file can be pushed directly to your Gear 2 via USB using SDB.
At this point you should have a pretty plain and simple black watchface on your emulator thanks to the sample we just built, but let's add a custom background.
Make a custom 320x320 pixel image to use as a background with photoshop, gimp, etc. I'll name mine 'mywatchface.jpg'. Now paste it into your Project Explorer.
While you are in the Project Explorer, double click on the css folder.
Next, double click on the style.css to open that style file.
Locate the background: #000 line and replace it with this line.. background: url(../mywatchface.jpg);
Click the Save icon to save the style.css.
Click the green Play/Run button to install and build the new version.
If you don't see the new watch face load immediately on the emulator, you may need to go into settings on the emulator and select the new watch face.
Now that we have played with the ClockWidget sample and edited the css to add a custom background, we can play around with java coding and more down the road, but let's put this watch face onto our Gear 2.
You will need to copy the MyWatchFace.wgt file that was built in the Project Explorer into the same directory that your SDB.exe is located... (ie. C:\Tizen\tizen-wearable-sdk\tools)
It's easier if you make sure that the emulator is no longer running.
Turn on USB Debugging (Settings/Gear Info) and then plug your watch into your PC/Laptop via USB.
If you have issues with your computer detecting your watch, you may need to install the Samsung USB drivers for your watch.
Start a CMD Prompt
Switch to the directory with the SDB.exe and MyWatchFace.wgt
Run a simple test to see if the watch is being seen..
Type: sdb devices
If you get an error, something is wrong. You should see "List of devices attached" and one should be a series of numbers and letters and display as "SM-R380"
Now that you know the device can be seen, you can push your watch face to the Gear 2.
Type: sdb install MyWatchFace.wgt
You will see text scroll by and then it will indicate that it is done. You should now have a new watch face on your watch!!
To manually uninstall the watch face, you will need to look at in your Project Explorer, Open the config.xml and click the Source tab at the bottom to locate the package id for this app.. In my case, it's package="rlfNgozRkA"
Type: sdb uninstall rlfNgozRkA
Now have fun. Share your experiences, ask questions.. and most of all.. Share your custom watch faces here for everyone. As a community we can all help each other learn how to program for our Tizen wearables.

This was very helpful, thank you so much for taking the time to create a walk-through.
My really dumb question of the day, followed everything to a 'T' and my clock-face was installed as an app and not an available Clock face. (most other peeps that made a clockface shows up in Gear Manager.
Thoughts?
Thanks again

I had the exact same problem. You need to add one line to your config.xml (source tab)...
Code:
<tizen:category name="com.samsung.wmanager.WATCH_CLOCK"/>
Add this after the "<tizen:application" line
I'm on mac os x and not need to do in command line or terminal, if I have my gear 2 connected , it appeares in the connection explorer windows, so I selected and hit run and this automatically run on my gear 2.
The same with the emulator, if the emulator is running, it show in the connection explorer windows and the same procedure.
Very nice walk through. Quick question. I am having trouble with the emulator. No matter what I do, it comes up with the same digital clock face and not the wgt file or project that I was working on. I know I must be missing a simple step here.
Edit-nevermind. Working now.
The tutorial is great. Thanks @Breach
Could you also let us know how to load a second image on a screen touch event ?
That would be wonderful.
More info you can find also here (with some WatchFaces!!!):
Any way to sideload .wgt files to Gear 2

You just make another another one with a different name, "MyWatchFace2" etc.
It will automatically get another Application ID and will install as a separate app.

If you don't see the new watch face load immediately on the emulator, you may need to go into settings on the emulator and select the new watch face.

no.I didn't mean that.
what I want to achieve is a simple animation. (let's say every 10 minutes)
to do that , I have to load a new image on top of the screen.
how can I do that ?
thanks.

Check for typographical errors and make sure the image is the right resolution, also make sure the image is in the root of the project and not in the js or css folders. See if that helps.

As soon as I open the app I get "Cannot find repository. Please check your repository".
Using Mac w/ Mavericks
Did I need the 555mb SDK file as well?

I copied the path to prevent spelling errors and it looks like background: url(C:\Users\myusername\workspace\test\320x3206-1.jpg);
When I hit play it does add a watchface to the emulator but it does not display the image. The image is 320*320 and its a .jpg
In the problems tab I have 1 warning:
Description Resource Path Location Type
Expected '===' and instead saw '=='. main.js /test/js line 135 JavaScript Problem
Im sure this is messing me up.

Change it to background: url(../320x3206-1.jpg);
I think your full path is broken once the files are loaded onto the emulator (since it moves the code into a virtual watch)

Hello, I want to download some mp3 to my Note PRO. On my laptop, I visited: http://www.stafaband.info/download/mp3/lagu_ost_swallow_the_sun_drama_korea/
There is a list of about10 songs with links to download
However, when I typed the same URL on my Note PRO, the URL was automatically changed to:
http://m.stafaband.info/download/mp3/lagu_ost_swallow_the_sun_drama_korea/
- Anybody knows the reason?
- Instead of having a list of about 10 mp3, only four are listed. Do you know what is going on?
- I clicked the first one: "Swallow The Sun Drama Ost mp3". Then, clicked "Download Link" on the linked page. Rather than downloading the file, a multi-window showed up to play the song. I can save the file. Could you please tell me how? Can I also specify the save location?
Thanks.
- Hit the options in the browser --> Show desktop version. Then delete the M in front of the url.
No, you can't set a download location. It automatically downloads into the Downloads folder.
Thank you. Where is the "options" in the browser?
So, after downloading the mp3 to the Downloads folder, I just use Astro to move to any folder I want. Am I correct?

Top right, the three vertical dots next to the URL bar. If the browser hides it, long-press the left softkey (recent apps).
Yep, after it's finished downloading (check the notification) you can use any file explorer to move it to the desired folder.
With the Note 4, you could use Smart Select and select text on the screen. It gave you the option to extract that text to use some where else. If it was an address, it gave you the option to get directions to that address. If it was a number, gave you the option to call it. Now you can only save it to the gallery, scrapbook or share it as a picture.
This is driving me bananas. Anyone come up work a remedy? I really miss this from the note 4 as this was my primary s pen usage.
You can get an app from the galaxy app store called optical reader, and then you can use it in the same way. You can either take a picture and extract the text or you can import a picture you have already taken or screen shot. It's the same as the one from the note 4 just separated into its own app.
Thanks for the reply Matt. I'm familiar with the optical reader app but it's not the same. 1, it requires you to do an extra step (go to the optical reader app) and 2, when you extract text from the app it doesn't immediately recognize different types of text ( addresses vs email addresses etc. ) and respond accordingly. Again, it does work if I'm simply looking to extract text from the photo but the brilliance of its usage on the Note 4 was in its functionality and efficiency.
Thanks, again, for responding though.

In Android 5.1.1 run solution
Or use Google On Tap. It works perfectly, even from camera.

Actually the same feature of Note 4 (and even Note 2) still works! You just should not use smart select from aircommand, but just push button on s-pen and select de text. Just had to allow permissions in smart select app for storage and contacts...
This on TMO stock Dec update.

Using that method you can just share or copy the text (or use Dictionary), you can't send the text right to maps or phone call. That what happens for me on stock dec update (TMO).
I managed to get an FTP sever running on my gwatch r using ES file explorer (yes it does work on wear and with root access as well if you are rooted)
I found it useful for transferring files to and from the watch to my phone LG G 3 obviously it's much faster than the other methods of Bluetooth file transfer I came accross. I also managed to do all this without touching a p.c just my phone, watch and a wifi connection.
If anyone is interested in how I did this then leave a reply and if enough people are interested I'll make a guide laugh
Sorry about the delay in getting this up lots going at work and home lately
Please read carefully as you can brick your device while playing in TWRP and I will not be held responsible for any damage caused by using this Guide.
Pre-requisites
Android device/phone (I’ll be using An LG G3 D855) or Tablet Rooted with ES file explorer and Wear media installed (play store)
Android wear device (I’ll be using a G-watch R) with root/unlocked bootloader? and TWRP installed
Wifi access point/router (your home wifi)
First of all we need to get ES file explorer on to the watch.
There are a few ways to do this (ADB ect) but I am trying to do these instruction without using a PC.
Using ES file explorer on you android device ensure root access mode is enabled (Slide from the left of the screen and scroll down to ‘Root Explorer’ and switch on) Then go to Local--- /Device/data/app Locate the ES file Explorer .APK and copy the file to another folder that doesn’t require root access ie Downloads folder
Ensure your Wear device is connected to your Android device and open Wear media on your Phone/Tablet.
Click on the picture of the Watch at the top and choose a non root destination folder for the .APK
Then click on the picture of the Phone at the top and locate the ES file Explorer .APK and click transfer/copy this will the put the .APK on your watch but not install it.
Now to install ES on your watch
Now go to your watch and reboot into recovery (TWRP)
Click mount and ensure System has an X next to it by clicking on it
Click advanced and File explorer Locate the ES .APK (mine is called something like com. Estrongs.android.pop) in the wear media destination folder you chose earlier
Click the file and click copy
Navigate to System/app and paste the .APK into this folder
Go to Wipe Advanced wipe and select Davlik Cache and Cache then swipe to wipe and reboot your device
Es should then be installed on your watch
Open the app on your watch open the menu and scroll to near the bottom and turn on root explorer and turn off gestures (there really annoying on a watch)
Then find Network and click Net manager to turn on the wifi on your watch and let it connect to your wifi access point
Just above should be Remote manager click on this and then ‘Turn on’ (this should then enable FTP access to your watch. If your go back to the watch face you should see a notification that an FTP server is running and it will give the IP address ie 192.168.xxx
Now open ES on your Phone (ensure connected to same network as the watch) open the menu and scroll to network and choose FTP
Click new at the bottom then FTP
For Server enter the address your watch is showing (192.168.xxx) tick Anonymous box
Choose a name for the device in ‘display as’ field and click ok. (please note the default port is 21 and should work in most cases but if the notification on your watch has a different port number ie 192.168.0.2:3721 use the numbers after the : so in this case I would enter 3721 into the port box under the Server part 8n ES and not leave the default of 21.
This should test the connection when you click ok
If all has worked you should now be able to click on the FTP you just created and it will show the files and folders on the watch. You can now use this to transfer files between your Phone and watch at a decent speed? ( I do backups on the watch using TWRP and transfer these to my phone or home server which also has an FTP service setup in ES)
Done
This was thrown together in about 10mins So I know it’s a bit rough. I would like to add screen shots at some point and if there are any errors you spot please let me know and I will correct ASAP (I’m sure there are loads lol)
Please also let me know if this worked for you
I would say most people would be interested so it'd would be good if you shared.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using XDA Free mobile app
FTP on a watch? lol that sounds amazing. I am interested in hearing out how you did this.
We are waiting for u
waitting
nice idea.
Sorry guys thanks for the positive response been really busy of late will try to get some basic instructions up this weekend
awesome.
gotta try it tomorrow
You can also run Airdroid app on your watch over wifi. You can upload/download files and install apks using webinterface. The tricky part is to read the port number and ip address that it displays when the app is launched. On the phone this app can do much more than that.
