thanks, i found it shortly after I posted. I had found the video share location in the phone settings but I dont think it worked because it still said it was full. then I found the settings you were talking about. hopefully this will help others.

Hiding Pics from the Gallery??

Hey guys:
I've got tons of comicbooks on my storage card that keeps showing up as individual folders in my picture gallery. I know I could drop a "no media" file in the main folder to stop it, but then my other apps wont read anything in that folder as well correct? Is their any way to exclude the comicbook folder from the gallery?
thanks

call me crazy, but I have a feeling the easiest solution is to create a .nomedia file and put it in the folder you want to hide.... ooooor I could be 100% wrong.

You are crazy ;-) does not work here.

This does not solve your problem, but may be an alternate solution. I use a gallery replacement called QuickPic. Inside of QuickPic you can choose which folders are hidden so you only see the ones you want.

I've heard of QuickPic. But I really like the stock Gallery. And if I put a no media file in that folder,, my comicbook reader apps wont see the files either right?

Actually, all you have to do is rename the folder or file and put a "." at the start of the name. So a folder called "my_pron" renamed ".my_pron" won't show up
It's probably worth noting that you should do the rename on your tab and not from your PC, I had problems with it not working when I did it via my PC, that's why I mention it. I used Astro File manager and it works just fine.

Kii Safe!
It's a program designed to be more along the lines of hiding naughty things, but it would allow you to move all your comics into a side gallery type section, plus once their there you can subdivide them into their own folders AGAIN so that you have individual comics in mini-galleries, with sorting by name or date possible to make for easy ordering.

Noteworthy item is that with the EI22 update yesterday, my app got wiped with the rest of my phone, but upon re-installing it and going through new-startup steps it found the SD card data from my previous installation - yay SD card!

I have a app similar to this called Hide & Sneek. But I have to unhide pics everytime I need to use it. Will Keep safe allow me to hide the comics just from the Gallery , but let them be used in the Combook reader?

Quit trying to hide the pron from her and you won't have issues! Or just if ya get caught freak out and claim you must have a virus!

Where to view external memory card contents

Good evening, I am new to the Android OS and would like know how to view what is on the external memory card.
I can see that the card is recognized but not what is on it.
Thanks

A file explorer app like 'ES file explorer' will show you in folder format. You can also get an app called 'DiskUsage' from the play store that will give you more of a visual representation with respect to file size.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Really thought I was just overlooking it.
Thanks again.

you can also put them into the adapter and into your computer.
but file managers will work if youre just on the phone.
good luck.

Should also have a Samsung app in drawer called MyFiles if you are on TouchWiz rom.

Thanks, I looked in My Files and was able to see what I wanted.

help with locker app files

Ok, so my buddy had an app downloaded from the google play store. back when the S4 Mini was newish. He had some kind of photo/file locker app which all i can tell you is it made a folder on the internal storage simply called "Locker" and all the encrypted files that were locked with that app were in there but of course un-readable because that are apparently actually encrypted to some extent. the phone went overboard in the salt water, couldnt be repaired but i managed to get it running enough to pull the "locker" folder with all the locked data off the storage. He doesnt remember the name of the app used and no longer has the google account to look at his download history to find it. but the icon was blue-ish and it created a folder called "locker" on the storage. he entered his passcode on a dialpad looking menu and boom, his locked files showed up. but thats all i know about it. hes trying to get that data readable again, and changing the extension to jpeg or jpg or png didnt work. just wondering if anyone here may have some sugguestions of apps to try to get these files readable again, if i could find the exact program used my plan was to install it on his new phone. set a password and lock a random picture so this way the program would created all the directories or whatever it needed, and i can copy the recovered files from the old phone and copy them into the new phone in the appropriate directory, and hopefully unlock those files. sorry if im jumping around alot. so im trying to find a way to make these files readable again is the end goal. ive tried for days to get them unlocked. and if anyone can help me they are on these forums. Any help ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Download
Es file explorer

And it will work

This screen shot may help you

I uploaded one of the smaller files which should be the image and one of the larger ones which should be the video. both just say there are no previews available when i try and open either of them.

If the files were encrypted then no matter which app you use, you won't be able to open them. You need to decrypt them first. To decrypt them you need the password they were encrypted with and the encrypting/decrypting algorithm (provided by the locker app). I would try to find the app (and copy the files to its folder), or try to decrypt it using various decrypting algorithms, provided the app uses a standard well-known one.

[Q] Best camera app for recording videos

Hello.
I've been looking recently for one, good camera app, For shooting videos. And Im posting this thread here to ask for an advice /suggestions.
What I am looking for :
-I want to record videos directly to the specified directory. I want to store all videos on my mounted USB drive to my Nexus (most apps dont support it) MOST IMPORTANT!
-I want to record 1080p with the Best quality and framerate possible
-Good focus and manual adjustments, such as white balance.
-App can be either paid or free.
I am running newest CyanogenMod updated every day. If an app will require some custom system mods, thats not a big deal.

Maybe Snap Camera HDR or L Camera can do the job

Omg, I really love the L camera, but wish I could change the save directory... Maybe there is a possibility to change it in the source and the compile it? Idk how to do it
Snap Camera is also awesome, plenty of options there, but I cant make it to work with my USB drive, It says that it is not connected...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almalence.opencam

Allright, as I noticed, many great apps have some issues with saving to custom directories in Android L, I tried using many apps that allowed me to change the save location, but still, even If I choose any other location that the default one, it shows a message saying something like "save directory change is not avilable in Android 5" or something like this, or it just wont save where I want.
Any fix for that?
BTW I tried some camera apps, and Cinema FV-5 wins so far

then maybe you can try mount your OTG hdd to DCIM folder ?

How can I do so? I tried using Stickmount, but It kept saying, that mounting services are currently busy.

maybe you can try symbolic links in stickmount :
Code:
(Pro) Create symbolic links
Create symbolic links in /mnt and /storage to the actual mounts in /sdcard/usbStorage/, handy with some file managers and some apps that auto-detect storage locations.

The problem is that stickmount does not want to work. Whenever I try to mount, it says that mounting services are busy, so I cant even use it.

So your hdd isn't mounted at all ? Then of course you can't write to it

Is is mounted, but it works just without the app, I can browse all my files on my OTG, delete, create, rename, read without any problems, and the OTG is mounted by system by itself, as it works in Lolipop without any 3rd party apps, but its in the directory root/storage/usbdisk.
And this directory is visible to all camera apps, but I cant make it to write files there. It says that this location is unwritable, or something other, as I said in one of my older posts there. My OTG cable is also fine, the OTG is fine aswell, so the problem imo is that camera apps dosent have permissions to access this directory.

So your disk is mounted as read only. NTFS file system maybe ?

Nope, its FAT32.
Also, I can write things there via Root Explorer.
And the permissions are rwxrwx--x

bump
anyone?
