[Q] Hide files on HD2 WP7 - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Does anybody know how can I hide word documents and some jpeg files on my HD2 with WP7 running on it ?

Sync the files normally through Zune.
You can then use TouchExplorer to copy the files from the Zune/contents sub directories.
Rename them in the new directory, and delete the original ones.
Shouldn't show up in your Whats new, etc after you remove them from the original PC Zune folders.

Doesn't work....still showing up after I copied an image into the documents folder and deleted the old one. I even changed the file extension from jpg to .jjj.....go figure?

Easier way to copy manila files to ppc window folder

dont think this is documented not seen but i'm running windows xp and i copy manila files directly from my pc to my ppc windows folder. First thing to do is in windows explorer in tools at the top a screen go to folder options/View then you need to click on SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS Then remove the checks from hide extentions of known files ( makes it easier to see what files your working with ) also remove the check from hide protected operating system files. all done now after you have killed manila on your diamond in setting/all settings/today/items you can then copy and paste any manila files directly from your computer to your diamonds windows folder and resart manila in a reverse of descibed before. So no need for resco explorer or to have folders of manila files taking space on your internal storage
Sorry for my poor english I'm from yorkshire lol

Windows Folder

I am trying to copy files onto the Windows folder and removing some image files that are no longer in use, but I keep getting the folder is protected error. Any way around it where I can edit files or add/delete some files in the Windows folder?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You cannot remove files that are part of the ROM. You should be able to insert files but not replace them, unless you use TotalCommander.

[Q] .nomedia not working new pics show in gallery

Hey all,
I have got some older folders with pictures stored on my ext sd.
I dont want these folders/pictures to show in the gallery.
In every folder is a .nomedia file and this used to work on my S4, the picturen wernt showing in the gallery.
Now on the note the excisting pictures in the folders also don't show in the gallery.
But whenever i add a new picture to one of the folders containing a .nomedia file only those new pictures do show and i dont want that.
When i used to add a picture on the S4 it didnt show but now on the note every new picture does show.
How can i fix this?
I dont want the pictures i move to be scanned by the gallery.
Cheers !
Have you tried copying the files to another directory using my files (stock Samsung file explorer)? Had the same problem and renaming them or copying them helped in my case
Try clearing gallery cache, also delete .thumbnails folder
You shouldn't need to use .nomedia file. If you want to hide folder rename that folder to start with "." so you can't see anything from that folder in gallery
If you want to hide one single picture, rename that file to start with period.

[Q]Xaps and Tier3Apps folder in CommonFiles folder

So I have some questions about these folders containing XAP, APPX, XML, and ProvXML files.
(For those who are wondering where I found these said folders, deploy an app named "Storage Explorer", and paste this path to the path textbox: C:\PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\)
Xaps folder (containing some older versions of Xbox Music, Xbox Video, Facebook, Battery Saver, etc.) gives me "What Ifs".
What if we replace these xap files with some other xap files also. How about encrypted ones? Will they get decrypted? What do these ProvXML files contain?
Same goes to Tier3Apps folder (C:\PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\OEM\Public\PreloadedApps\tier3Apps)... I wonder what are those for and what we can do with it...
Can someone test it? I can't test it at the moment since I don't have a high-end PC to start an emulator for it or time to do it on my physical device.
