[2.2 Leak] Custom Folders in Gallery?

Is there a way to choose custom folders in Sense Gallery or Android stock Gallery or Photos (Android 2.1) instead of having it show ALL the photos and videos?
I have an archive folder which has thousands of pictures and I don't want it showing up every time because it takes a while to load.
Or is there an apk that'll do this?

+1 I'm not a fan of this either... You can hide certain ones if you press menu but nothing specific.

Can't believe some of the brainiacs over here haven't figured this out yet..

create a ".nomedia" file in the folder

It's been discussed here before too

Gallery Enabler should do the trick. I haven't tried it on 2.2 yet but it works great on 2.1.

Gallery Enabler does the .nomedia trick, only from your phone so you can enable/disable folders whenever you like.

I know about the .foldername trick.. I don't like it though because a file or folder with . (period) in the beginning will not show up on my mac of pc either.. (on PC I could say view hidden files.. which again, I don't like..on Mac I'd have to install Houdini or something)..
Also It's a hassle when I WANT it to show.. in which case I'd have to rename the folder. I'd rather using a normal file name and not have it show

[Q] [nFinityGB-0.93] Reset of Gallery-Thumbnails

Hello.
I’m using nFinityGB-0.93 and have for a few days some problems with my Gallery.
As you can see in the screenshot, for my camera’s gallery I have two “folders”: “Kamerabilder” (camera pictures) and “Kameramedien” (camera media).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Same situation for the screenshot-“folders”, even if on my filesystem only one folder exists:
And at the end you can see a folder, that contains two pictures, but if I open the gallery, the shown thumbnails are wrong – these are not my contact-pics
When the problem occurred first, I thought, that maybe there is an easy way to reset the gallery-thumbnails – therefore I have deleted all data from \\sdcard\DCIM\.thumbnails
Afterwards it become worse. Do you know any way to reinitiate the thumbnail-generation, so that the gallery will be updated from the scratch? Maybe kind of complete system-picture-scan?!
I hope, this would solve the problem of having wrong thumbnails or double thumbnail-“containers”/-“folders”.
Thanks,
Martin

i have kamerabilder and kameramedien also.thats normal...but the rest is very strange....sometimes a photo have a other preview than the original,but when you click on it the real pictures appears...its a little strange

i forgot to mention, that the path with the androidifys was already deleted a few days ago, so that it shouldn't appear anymore. and for sure never with the androidifys.

i still don't know the root cause, but i solved it by renaming the files. after restarting the gallery, the thumbnails were reloaded and except of the two camera-galleries everything's fine now

SMS issue

Hi,
After installing a new custom ROM (I don't know the name of it, and can't seem to find the original file), when texting someone, the screen jumps to the very top of the messaging thread. Which makes it very difficult to edit or proof read what I'm typing.
I'm pretty certain the ROM matters, and I'm currently looking into it. However, it is one that strips Android down to the bare minimals removing sprint apps etc.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks!

How do you flash a ROM and not which one it is?
BTW, go to phone info and you'll probably find the name of the ROM

I flashed it a while ago and don't recall the name.
Here's the software information in settings:

Any ideas? I was wondering if there are different versions of the stock messaging app?

Friend that pic is a bit small. I would do a full wipe and flash a new Rom. I use amon ra with great results.

try this...
Use root explorer, and make sure it is set to R/W mode (read/write).
Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and delete that file, then restart your phone.
After the restart, you should be able to send and receive MMS messages.
Hope this helped ya, worked like a charm for me!

Can't install/update apps from play store

So i rooted my 5 for the first time today and it all worked good. ( I used Magisk 23.0 and twrp-3.4.0-10-cheeseburger-dumpling-mauronofrio )
Now that I try to install apps or update them I get an error notification which says that it cant be downloaded and I should insert and sd card or usb storage with sufficent storage.
Some very small apps seem to be downloadable like terminal emulator.
So I tried lots of things to fix this but non worked or some step in the fix doesn't work for example tried this this and it seems to not work since some commands dont seem to work, but one command said that cache is read only which that fix is supposed to make read and write. I also tried this where i used the app and the first fix doesn't work but the second says it does but it doesn't work anyways, also the manual one fix 1 says there is no folder and fix2 seems to work but it has no output or doesn't help.
I also notice if i turn on file transfer when connected to pc and i try to check files on the phone nothing gets shown or am able to put something in it.

Omg guys new day, new beginnings and i found a fix for my problem.
Go into recovery tap advanced > tap fix contexts > reboot.
Jeez such an easy fix and I was searching for hours yesterday.

Lol, didn't PCs teach you anything?
As stable as Androids are it's easy to forget to reboot... but Gookill apks are the worst.

Question Can anyone check if these list of apps look ok and also some permissions please?

Hey, I'm new to the forums. Decided to get the Nothing Phone 1. Seems ok atm but was a bit glitchy when first set up.
Just wanted to see if anyone could have a quick look through the app list to see if all looks ok.
Also I have some permissions which I'm unsure about for example on the shell app:
Reroute outgoing calls
android.permission.ACCEPT_HANDOVER
see and control calls through the system. (I noted this one because of the period at the end)
android.permission.REQUEST_OBSERVE_COMPANION_DEVICE_PRESENCE
android.permission.REQUEST_COMPANION_PROFILE_WATCH
download files without notification
android.permission.READ_NEARBY_STREAMING_POLICY
Edit: for some reason I can't attach the screenshots

Edit: images resized
Edit2: I did resize the images smaller but showing as the original size again. Apologies

Apologies for the large images. If anyone is able to edit these please?

What's your point man ? Nobody can't edit all yours apks .
What I've seen , you disabled randomly lot of important system apk so I think you may reset your phone , take a breath , learn some stuff on Google and after that you can setup again your phone , paid more attention on system apks .

No, I meant edit the image size, it's ok I'll work it out.
I've disabled the things I don't need for now. These permissions were there before I changed any settings. I did reset the phone after purchasing.
The most concerning me are reroute outgoing calls & download files without notification.
I haven't changed any settings in relation to this.

The reroute call permission also found in phone services
