Hello,
I have some pictures of my girlfriend when shes naked on my phone and i dont like that when i open my photos & videos first thing you see is my girlfriend naked. Its pretty annoying if my friends uses my phone and i cant let them go see pictures becouse im not that kind of boyfriend So is there any way to hide pictures / make folder with password? And sorry for my bad english i hope you guys understand.

like your honesty!!!

using file explorer.. go to...
(depending where your pictures are stored)
cut and paste the pictures contained in DCIM\100media\
into a new folder somewhere else on the storage card.. and it will no longer appear in the image gallery

That doesnt work, when i click "all albums" you can see those pictures.

Mate - have a look at this, in the hits & tips thread linked in my sig...
64. Disable Unwanted Folders From Showing in HTC Album
It just hides a folder from the album app. You can still manually browse to it with file explorer, for example, and open images from there.
Hope this helps

Haha =D you wish

i edited thet registry key but i'm having troubles.. while it is actually hiding pictures in htc album, they are still showing up in manila's tab, am i doing something wrong?

WinRar the files. You can even put a password on it so that if you loose the phone no one can see the pics. I found it the easiest and most secure way to hide your girlfriends pictures.

Free app to protect pictures
Hi,
Search for an app called FreeOTFE4PDA. It allows you to create a fully encrypted, password protected folder on your card. This can then be mounted as a storage card when needed. Within this you can create folder and do anything else you can do on a storage card. The important part is of course that you can not mount it if you do not know the password.

i run both windows and android, so what i'm trying to do is to hide android's gallery cache files (why did developers think that using readable jpg files as cache would be a good idea in the first place?)
that's the reason i want them to remain accessible for android use, but still don't want them to fill my windows photo tab with duplicates, so no rar storing can solve my problem
i fear i'll have to give up the 3d glory of android's gallery due to this stupid issue...

Use Total Commander, find the pictures, press & hold a picture, tap Properties, check the box "Hidden", press OK. The pictures can only be accessed through Total Commander.
It's a good thing my 900th post went to a good cause!

That's exactly the problem i'm having. You just have to keep the photos rarred while you using android. Not the perfect solution, if you find a better 1 i'm interested too.
Sent from my HanDroid2 using XDA App

1)Change the extension to some other (from jpg to ipg in example). So no one program will open it. When you need it change again to jpg.
2)make it hidden or system

Camera Saving to Card

So I have searched the forums multiple times and didn't find a solution to this problem. Whenever I take a picture with the camera and have it set save to card it saves it to card then 2 seconds later the picture cannot be found on the card at all. Everything else on the card can be found on the card like music, ect. I have used the SD fix but am still having this issue. Please help. Thanks.

What card are you using? The original or one bought on ie. ebay?

I am using a new 8gb one and everytime a take a picture the photo only stays on the card for a moment then dissapears.

Apply sdcard fix.

Small tips
Use the filemanager and delete the DCIM folder. The camera recreates the folder and you'll be able to save photos to card again.

X2 does alot of things, and none of them especially good. This i camera/sd card is a problem that i've seen on a number of X2 phones.

[Q] Installed ES File Explorer, but Gallery won't display moved images

I bought the Aquos (reluctantly) a couple of weeks ago and am not overall impressed, but am stuck with it for now...so am dealing.
But I have having major anxiety (OK, maybe just major annoyance) about the storage issue. I have a 64gb card attached and it is fairly useless. I can't move apps over since the firmware doesn't support app2sd (i think that is what i saw one Dev put on their site).
OK, so I downloaded ES File Explorer and I can move things between the device storage and the SD card easy enough, but as soon as I move images - the gallery won't show them anymore.. They are there... I can navigate to them from apps... But just not the gallery.
In my gallery you can see folders i moved onto the card via taking the card our and putting it in a reader. So I know the gallery 'sees' the card.
I have even moved and/or saved a file into one of the folders on the card that is already showing... And they don't show in the gallery.
Is anyone else having this issue? Or is this maybe just my phone.. (I have tried 2 different SD cards, a 32gb and the 64gb and get the same results)

I have used ES File Explorer for years and haven't had this issue, even on the Crystal...
Are they images that other Image Browsers can view also? If the Gallery app is set to default, clear it, and try viewing the photos with ES, Google Photos, or other apps when it prompts you to choose an app to display the pic.
If that fails, try formatting the card through the phone and moving the photos again.

I use quickpic always an it always registers when I move anything over through es.

Always is a loaded word... If it always worked then why isn't It still working?
Before you give up on this phone I think you should try my above post or something else. Instead of factory resetting the phone as a last resort I think you should do so anyways to see if that will fix the freezes you've been having.
My personal opinion is that you should see if your problems go away by trying X (whatever that might be). My philosophy is that if something is broken I try and fix it. If I can fix it I'll be cautious to not repeat the initial problem. If I can't, whether it's not worth fixing after evaluation or too expensive to do so, I can have a clear-ish conscious towards disposing of it. In the end this is my opinion and you can do whatever you want with your stuff.

Well in the past 4 years quickpic is THE ONLY gallery app I'll use. ES and Quickpic are the first 2 things I install on any new ROM and phone. As far as always goes I just said that because I have never had an issue with it or es.

I don't know what to tell you...
I too use ES as my file manager and previously used that to transfer most of my images to my SD card. After I installed Quickpic I was able to view all the images I transferred to my SD card.

Gallery image fail
format your sd card on a pc then reinsert it into your phone it should work then.

I had this same problem and with ES files. Look through you're files and if you find files " .nomedia " delete them . I still don't know how the .nomedia files got on my phone but soon as I deleted them all my photos in Gallery showed back up. No more problems with photos.

Back last February I had a problem with files named
.nomedia and they caused problems with my photos stored on my phone. After I realized it was nomedia files causing the problem I deleted all nomedia files and all was good until last week. Now the nomedia files are showing up again. I delete them only to have the nomedia files return. Delete the file and it shows back up in a different place,in a different file. It's always someplace on my SD Card and I can't get rid of it.
I'm not sure what to do?
My device is

Good Photos SD Card Access?

When using the stock Samsung camera and stored to my SD card, I use Google Photos to edit the photos, however, I get this error when trying to delete any photo:
"Photos doesn't have access to delete item on your SD card. Go to the Gallery app to continue deleting"
I checked the permissions of the Google Photos app, and it does in fact have access to the SD card.
What gives?

I got my S7e a week ago and I have the same problem. Really annoying, especially as this was working fine on my previous phone Moto X Style. with an external SD card. Apparently the app does this by design, just wondering why was it working ok on my other phone and if there is a way to change this behaviour.

I have no problem with either the gallery app or google photo's accessing my EXSD card. It is either there are not the correct permission granted, or your EXSD card is not formatted correctly?

This was a brand new 32Gb microsd card I have formatted in the phone. Is yours FAT32 or extFAT? Did you format it in a PC?

You have to create a new folder in SD card (anywhere but under DCIM folder) and move the pics there manually. Google photos cannot access the pics under DCIM folder of SD card. Once the new folder has been created, allow that folder to be uploaded in Google photos app under Device folder.
I know its a pain to move the pics every time but that's how it is.

I'm only having issues when it comes to deleting pictures stored on external sd card from Google Photos. I'm trying to avoid the extra manual step involved when deleting files, not the end of the world.
I just can't explain why this worked without problems on my old Moto X Style but not on the S7 edge.

Hi, haing the same issue, did you find a solution?

This is by design. I believe the google photos app team said there is no way around this currently.

The way around it is granting g photos SD card access through one of the many available solutions for root users. One such solution is xinternalsd

Some of us use Android Pay and other such things that simply don't work when the phone is rooted. And as of the August security patch from Google .. it's just more chasing the dragon as far as keeping AP and root. Those of us with not enough time in the day don't want to keep chasing it. It just kinda sucks that Googles own photo app has this issue. I guess they have to adhere to their own rules.

sorry messenger was unable to process the file

Here's a new one on me. I took some pictures and all a sudden I can't share them with messaging or messenger. I get sorry "messenger was unable to process the file" I am using quikpic and also tried snap gallery. i tried clearing data/cache for quikpic and messages, did a smart clean and a reboot. I'm lost. any help is appreciated. I hope i don't have to reset.
looks like my camera pics moved back to the internal memory somehow and my explorer app still shows them on the SD card and when i try to open them then they won't load because they're not there. stock cam still shows SD card for storage. one of my camera apps must have glitched the phone.
So i copied the pics from internal camera folder to the external now i can' t look at those either. i think the file folder structure is glitched. the quikpic still can read pics from the memory card other then what i copied over. i do'n't know what happened. could have happened with Gcam froze up last night after taking a few pictures. so i loaded a diff camera to take pictures in a hurry. they must have both been trying to write to memory.

i still can't get my photos to my computer or anything. i can view them with photo galleries, edit with snapseed and send to mom with messaging through snapseed but the exported files can't be viewed either. i have some really nice pics of my pet birds that isn't easy to take sometimes. Is there some way to recover them?

now i am having the same problem when trying to load music from the file manager. the players say the file was modified or deleted.
