This is a program to extract the video and photo from a "Motion Photo" from the Samsung Galaxy s7 & s7 edge and save them as separate individual files on a PC.

Moderater I am not sure if my Dev thread should be move to the s7 section instead.
I have just uploaded a how to use video on the first post in the other thread, click click the link in the 1st post to redirect to the other tread.
Is there any way of doing this from the phone, and to export to gif?
@SteveCheeseman @adam--k has created an app for the phone in his thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/app-motion-photo-sharer-t3345912
from the phone you can use this and use a file explorer to save it manually or email it to yourself and then use a gif Creator from the play store.

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 folks.
I don't quite like any of the provided templates in S notes. And frankly I think Samsung should allow us to create templates. Anyways...
I have been searching quite a while for this but could not find a suitable solution. Hence, I decided to check it out myself.
Basically, it's pretty simple, replacing files within an apk. Not sure if this has been explored before though..
Requirement:
1) Rooted device with any file explorer to read/write system files
2) WinRAR
Steps:
1) Create a template.
Simple create a blank note "blank.snb" that you would like to use as a template. You can have your required background, pattern, color, etc. Save it.
2) Copy out this "blank.snb" into your PC. Notes location on device is "\sdcard\S Note" internal storage.
3) Copy out S notes APK into your PC. Location: "\system\app\Snote_wxga.apk"
IMPORTANT: Make extra copies of this apk, in case the one you're editing screws up!
4) Rename the "Snote_wxga.apk" to "Snote_wxga.rar" and open it with winRAR.
5) In winRAR, browse to "\assets\templates" and delete "magazine.snb" - more info on this below
6) Rename the "blank.snb" from step (2) into "magazine.snb"
7) Drag this new "magazine.snb" into winRAR location "\assets\templates" of "Snote_wxga.rar". Close winRAR.
Your file "Snote_wxga.rar" should now be updated.
8) Rename back "Snote_wxga.rar" to "Snote_wxga.apk"
9) Copy this "Snote_wxga.apk" back into "\system\app\" of your device.
NOTE: Your device may restart in this process.
10) Restart your device if it already hasn't.
11) Open your Snotes. Your "Magazine" template will now be your custom template that you created.
Notes:
i) I tried adding a new snb into the APK but that was not registered as a new template. This is why I had to replace an existing template with my custom one. I happen to choose "Magazine". I believe others should work also. I did not experiment replacing more files.
ii) The thumbnail does not change though. It still has the magazine thumbnail. Not a major issue for me as I always pre-select my template when I create new notes. For those who have any ideas to change this, pls do share.
iii) This little mod worked for me and I didn't find time to explore further as this meet my needs. I do not take responsibility if your device decides to misbehave. So do remember to backup the "Snote_wxga.apk", or better still, perform a nandroid backup.
Cheers! :good:
Thank you for this tip. I'll try later when I'm at my computer. Could you upload some templates you made?

I have attached the one which I'm using, renamed to "magazine.snb".
It's a simple blank note, white background with faint lines across.
Ok.. there seems to be a problem. When I add pages, it goes back to an empty memo template.
So now I have notes with different cover pages.. Hmmmm
Alright! With a little bit of trial-and-error, I finally got the right template that behaves correctly on every page.
The trick was first to take a "golden template", which would say is "memo", since it's the simplest and every page is constant. I opened it up (renaming the snb file to rar) and I replaced it with my background images (already generated from my template I created above).
So basically, this is still a "memo" template, but with a different background.
This time, I replaced the birthday template with this one. I've attached the template and a thumbnail as well. Now, every page has my background and color!
As an alternative: it is also possible to modify downloaded note templates, instead of modifying the apk - I've put the description here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330470
Is it possible to get *. snb files from Note 3's ,,s note" apk and put them inside original Note 8,0's apk file?
If yes, can anyone having Note 3 attach apk file here so we can extract templates and put them into our apk's?

Hi all
I realise this is probably the wrong section for this question but I have looked all over and can't seem to find an answer and was hoping someone on here could possibly help me.
Basically when I take a look photo on my Nexus 5 it gets auto backed up... That's great however when I go into the photo app I can see the photo I just took but I can not for the life of me move it into an album.
I can only move photos in the app that are in the highlighted section but if the photo is in the 'all photos' the section I can't move it.
Again apologies as I know it's not strictly nexus 5 related I'm just stuck!
Thanks for any help
Chris
use a file explorer app. find the photo in whatever folder its in, then move it to another folder, or make a new one. the photos app doesnt do this, its not a file explorer. it only shows you where the photo is located.
Hi everyone. I recently bought a Huawei GT3 and got rid of facebook and installed facebook lite wich serves the purpose. My big complain is when i try to share on the messenger tab, a picture from the external SDcard it doesn't show the DCIM/Camera folder on the list... I have to use the Total Commander file explorer to copy them to another folder on the SDCARD, example a folder named Saved pictures in the root of the external SDCARD, which involves duplicating the image...
Do you have the same issue with another similar phone or another? The APP has also permission set to access storage.

I don't use that app but, the following thread is for this app.

Facebook Lite is what's called a Wrapper App for Facebook and the following are just a few of the other very good alternatives to this app.

Thanks for your rapid reply. i'll give it a try to these applications, since they are open source and more powerfull. I think the one that fits my needs is the MaterialFBook which requires less permitions and its very small
Hey all, I have dev mode active, and I only did it so I can get just ONE wallpaper from the LG TV so I can use it for my desktop. It's from a Korean artist. I figured that now I can access the file system through WebOS Dev Manager, that I could find the app and just look through the folders for the app and download them, but I simply cannot find the folder for this app!
Would anyone happen to know where it could be, or how I could download these photos? Thanks!
