Unnecessary images(gps etc),sounds(From Gps etc),Showing up in gallery/music
Ok Here are two Simple solutions ::
1><NOT RECOMMENDED> This solution basically helps is hiding the contents of a particular folder and might cause problems with the apps which are linked to those files..It is advisable to be used for images you don't want to show up in gallery and are not associated with any app eg GPS..
-Open Astro / Androzip or whatever file manager/explorer you are using and create a folder named “.anyname” and then mount your phone or mini-SD card on a computer.
-Transfer private files into the new folder and they will no longer appear in the photo browser. Browsing through Astro or a similar file manager will become the only method of viewing those photos on an Android phone.
2> <HIGHLY RECOMMENDED>
- On your computer, open Notepad or any other text editor
-Save the blank file as “.nomedia” . Make sure that the Save as type is ​set as “All Files” instead of “Text documents”
-Copy that file to the folder on your SD card containing audio files you ​don’t want to show up.
(Example: If you want to block CoPilot sound files from coming up, place the .nomedia file in the sdcard/copilot folder)
-Reboot your phone and the files should no longer be viewable
This same trick works for folders containing images or videos that you don’t want to appear in the Gallery app. The files will still be accessible from your original app or an explorer like Astro or Linda or Androzip, but you’ll finally be able to stop hearing “From the next roundabout take the first exit" announcements after a great song.

[Q] Folder?

Hello, for some reason when I press on the folder it doesn't show any of my files, only a transparent white window. Any advice?
I'm using a SD card.

bumping this thread

Can you be a little clearer? What folder, and where is it? Is this through a file explorer, or a folder on your home page?
Just give us more to go on

I don't know how to acces the media on my SD.
Pressing on folder shows a white transparent window.

What application are you trying to access it with? Talk me through from the beginning so I can see if I can help.

I have no idea, I just need to find the media that are on my SD.
Windows mobile had file explorer, does the latest NAND have it?
I've got no idea how to access it..

There are plenty of file explorers available from the market. You just need to search on there.
I personally use Root Explorer as it allows you to modify/copy/paste system files.

The folder you are probably trying to access is simply a virtual folder you have created on your android desktop. To use it you need to drag icons to it to organise stuff into groups etc.
What you should be doing to access your SD card is using an actual file explorer/manager app like the one described above. I personally use ASTRO File Manager though.
PS. Next time you ask for help please be more descriptive of your issue/problem.

[Q] Which folder/mnt should you copy music to N4?

Hi,
Is anyone familiar with exactly "where" is the correct place on the phone to upload your music so that it's visible by Play Music?
I've tried using EStrong File explorer to copy & paste from my local NAS to my phone and half the time it isn't visible in the /sdcard/Music folder. Obviously I don't understand which "user" is doiing the copying to which mounted area, hence why the viibility in my Play Music app is duff./
So - under the "root" directory, where should I copy things to ?
/sdcard/Music
/mnt/sdcard/Music
/storage/sdcard0/Music
Or, ../notifications or ../ringtones?
How do you guys do it so it's "visible" to the apps on the phone?

I put in sdcard/music folder. I just create a music folder and my media player detects mp3 files or other playable files.

Music. Btw, all three of those directories link to the same folder (/storage/emulated/legacy, I believe).

All those three locations are the same if I'm right. So it doesn't really matter.

This is a known issue caused by using the newest version of ES Explorer. Go read thru the comments for it on Playstore. Try a different file manager or download the previous version from the ES website. You should be able to place them in the Music folder on the root of the drive without issue.

Is there any Sony Music for custom rom (6.0) that able to play dlna device?

I have been search for long time trying to find one, but all seems doesn't support playing dlna music such as on original Cperia ROM. this is the most missing feature from sony music, can someone point out some mod that can do this please?

There are a few Sony Music ports that could do it, but what you probably need is a full settings port. Right now I think there's only one settings port for custom MM roms, (by @wolfmannight - http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...-xperia-marshmallow-concept-settings-t3332752), but is for concept ROM, and doesn't include connectivity settings. Search 'dlna' on Play Store; there are several apps that claim to be dlna players.

You can download Sony Music's apk from ApkMirror:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-mobile-communications/walkman-music/
Then you can try to install it directly.
If you can't, follow these tips:
1. Get the "META-INF" folder from a flashable zip. (exclude rom, recovery or SuperSU)
2. Create a new folder "system" under the same path as "META-INF".
3. Create folders "app" and "lib" under "system".
4. Put Sony Music apk under "app".
5. Get lib files in apk file.
6. Put lib files under "lib".
7. Achieve "META-INF" and "system" into a zip file.
8. Flash it with recovery.
9. Success!

But without Sony Xperia connectivity settings, I don't think you can set up dlna
