Has anyone figured out how to change the folder where the stock camera saves the photos it takes?
Thanks!

I also save mine in external storage, but I like the camera folder instead of the 100media folder. I have a Dropbox folder that syncs the camera folder automatically and this new storage location and file naming scheme is messing up my timeline and hierarchy. I don't know why the option is grayed out and there's no file naming options.
Any one else have ideas?

Greetings All,
Just a quick question. I've noticed recently (well really about a couple weeks now) that my gallery is filled with individual folders with single icons of the apps I have downloaded. Thus when I open up the gallery I have to scroll for what seems like forever just to find a folder with my pics.
This is annoying because I have a number of apps on my phone. I've found my self searching for folders of pics that were in between these single icon folder that I zoomed past thinking they were organized in some logical order.
I'm wondering if this is because I have moved a number of apps to my sd card? How can I fix this?
P.S. I've attached a pic of my gallery and these nuisance icons.
go into the folder that icon is in and create a new file named ".nomedia" (without quotes)

Thanks zephiK.
Can you tell me how to figure out what folder the icons are in? I've tried using Astro File Manger with no luck because I don't really now where to look.
Is it possible to filter the pictures which appear in the Samsung Gallery on the DC? Each time I start it up it is filled with TONS of pictures I do not want, including Google map fragments as well as album covers from my music files...pretty much making the display a mess.
I looked in Settings > Applications > Manage applications as well as Menu in the gallery and did not see any options...
All I want to see are my pictures in "My Pictures" folder on my SD card as well as the camera (DCIM folder if I must)!
Thanks!
Try QuickPic, free from the market.
You can select which folders it loads from, and it loads much faster due to a cache. Also it displays pics in higher resolution, so you can zoom in.
Much better than stock gallery.
Or go into each folder of the images you don't want to see with a file browser and create a ".nomedia" file - sans quotation marks.
Definitely try Quickpic. It is great.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. If I put it in a folder such as "My Music", will it block all of my album subfolders underneath? If not, Quickpic here I come!
Thanks everyone!!!

I believe it does. What I think happens is it stops searching the contents of that folder, including subfolders, once it sees the file.
If you have music in there too, they might be blocked from showing up in a media player.
When I open my gallery, I have about 60 "Albums" displaying.... Mostly folders with movies and music in them, some with downloaded pictures too. In previous versions, I used to be able to "hide" or "exclude" the selected album from the gallery, but I don't see that option any more?
I know Quickpic, Pikture, A+Gallery, ect... works, but want to stay with stock gallery app if at all possible?

Create a file named .nomedia and place it in each folder you want to block from gallery app.
You can move albums to Private Mode

You would just long press on an album, and the option to move to private should appear.

Nope, long press only gives me a check and a way to change the name.
I use Quickpic, so don't use the gallery anyhow, but it made me wonder... Never saw this possibility in the default gallery.
The .nomedia method works best, I found that setting certain folders to private caused issues especially with Nova Launchers icon cache.
and what about appicons?
Hi folks,
I'm just setting up my P40 Pro to see how it will perform in every day life for me So far things are looking good, but on my path to customization I stumbled across the issue of custom sounds for notifications and ringtones.
In the past and with past android phones all sounds installed in the "Ringtones", "Notifications" and "Alarms" folders in internal storage would be used by the media manager and could be selected in the corresponding menus in settings.
With the P40P in settings I get a choice of preinstalled sounds plus the option for "Music on device" - apparently this really does only check in the "Music" folders on internal and external storage, but not in the other folders.
Any idea how to set ringtones and genereal notification sounds from sounds in storage ?
A big thanks in advance,
Axel

Put your sound on ringtones folder inside the Music folder

Thanks, works like a charm....
I tried that and it didn't work.
I couldn't see the folder.
Am I missing something?

I had a "ringtone" (note, no "s" at the end) folder at /storage/emulated/0/Music/, this is where I put my ringtone files. If the folder is not there just create one...
I added a cut mp3 (from a song) notification sound to the phone only to find out it wasn't the tone I thought it was. How do I remove it? There doesn't seem to be a way at least from the notification sounds screen.
Go to the Notifications folder on your internal storage and delete the file.
Strange, but it's not in that folder. I can't locate it
You could try the Ringtones folder, although I wouldn't expect it to be there. If that's not where, then I don't know where else to suggest.
If you remember the name of it you could search for it in a file explorer.
Check the internal storage folder Android/media/com.google.android.soundpicker
The "problem" as such is that you can run a ringtone/notification sound from any folder. So you need to remember what folder you placed it in, or do a search on the name, or a *."extension type" to find all of them and delete the one you no longer want.

I found it and another notification/ringtone in that exact location. I have the choice to permanently delete the file. If I delete it, will it delete solely from just that folder, or will it delete from the phone and my music list too?

Yes. it will only delete from that folder, as long as you use a file manager to delete it, and not the sound picker
