Anyone have any idea how to keep Album and Ebook Covers from showing up in the gallery. Want it to be just my photos etc from cam and downloads but they all show up there in all different folders?
Find where those pictures are stored. Go in that folder and make a new folder call .nomedia
Thanks

Just touch and hold the "offending" file and an option menu will pop up where you can select "Exclude" - done.

I use a great little free app called quickpic which allows you to chose which folders are listed and it loads up large galleries nice and quick.

personally i find the default Gallery app pretty rubbish, it only refreshes content on a reboot for example.
i try and avoid using it as much as possible.

Yes, thats a nice little one.. I just loaded it and it has the exclude in it..
also allows you to backup to the root directry that the offending files are hanging out under..
i.e Books\nonfiction\files.. thus no need to do it individually..
it also works in well with the Picture framer I am using as a widget on one of my home screens..
where I have setup client files for previews.. now I think I just about got the perfect setup for it as a portable
casestudy showcase..so to recap on that..
ESfile explorer - to setup directory links as folders on a home screen
Picture framer to allow 4 large pictures on any one home screen - thus a quick tap takes you in to that themed directry
Quickpic - to run as the main viewer and slideshow engine..

Very sorry but forgot to tell you that I was using Quickpic rather than Gallery.
Quickpic is excellent.

I am trying to add a link (icon) to a movie (Transformers 2) to my home screen just like the Avatar movie has. I have decompiled the apk for avatar, replaced the icon with one of my own and changed all references to avatar within the files to reflect Transformers 2. I have also changes the path within the files to point to where the new movie is. When I go to compile it, everything goes well. When I go to install it on my phone, it gives me an error that it was not installed. Can anyone look at this and give me a pointer?
I have the icon labeled the same as the avatar logo, just because I didn't want to rename it within the file as I kept getting compiling errors when I did change it.
Just download a file explorer program long press on the home screen click shortcuts go to your file explorer and find transformers. That's what I did with my leftover card from the hd2

Not sure what you're getting at. If I choose my file manager program all it does is link to it. I want to be able to have an icon on my screen that launches the file itself, just like it does avatar. Thanks for the reply though.
The logcat output should show the real error message, use adb logcat to view it. Did you resign the apk?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes, I resigned it without error. Where can I find the logcat after a failed install?

kinda off topic, but where is the avatar movie stored? i havnt been able to find it on the sdcard?
Its on the external sdcard in a folder called movie

If you have astro installed. You can go to the widget menu, click shortcut, click astro, click the movie. That will add a shortcut directly to the movie on your desktop.

Awesome, thanks youneek. Now if there is a way to change the icon. hmmmmm

I know you're asking about Picasa sync issues, I don't know if they are saved on your sdcard but this may help:
Drop a .nomedia file in a folder and all media files become invisible to the gallery..
A .nomedia file is just an empty text file saved with no name and the extension .nomedia
You can make the file yourself, or just copy one of the many that are already on your card and paste the copy in whatever folder you want hidden from the gallery.
There was a bug last year that caused previously indexed media to be deleted if they were subsequently hidden. I'm pretty certain it's been fixed but you might want to test on a file you don't mind losing before you wipe out your entire porn collection
edit: I'm running CM7rc0 and it appears the bug has been fixed. It's an old bug, I would guess late versions of 2.2 are fixed also. I just tried this on some junk files, rebooted and they are still on my card but not in my gallery

My gallery worked fine when I had CM6 on my G2.
I have tried CM7 RC1, #7, and #32 or something like that and my gallery doesn't work for any of them.
By doesn't work I mean it fails to scan for media, and there are no photos in the gallery.
I have tried all the media scanners and rescanners on the Market, but they all stop scanning after 1 second, and does not do anything.
Also, when I browse for a picture via file manager and click on it, it takes forever to load, but when it does load, it first shows this weird wallpaper that is from the Cyanogen wallpaper pack for a brief half second then shows the picture i clicked on.
I don't know what's going on. This has been driving me INSANE. All I want to do is just to be able to set my wallpapers. I don't know how to do it without gallery.
Any help at all?
Thanks!
EDIT: "Are you certain that you don't have a file named ".nomedia" (the "." at the start makes it a HIDDEN file) in the directories with the media to scan?"
Yes I am certain I don't have that .nomedia in the directories of my photos.
EDIT EDIT: There was a .nomedia in the root directory of my sdcard so that is why it won't scan ANY folders. Thanks!

mate, I use 3D Gallery instead of the stock. not only will it scan and place in folders, it'll also pull your online Picasa pics. i used it on my stock Froyo (even though froyo uses a different version.. I found 3d gallery was actually the stock Eclair gallery) and I use it now on my CM7 Desire nightly (bravo11). works like a charm.
I use the one that came with ROM. Works great.

The one that came with the wrong doesn't work. And the 3D gallery doesn't work either. It says There are no items in your collection.
Reflash the nightly build. what build are you on?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I reflashed like 4 different ones. right now i'm back to RC1.
Thats weird. Perhaps something didnt wipe right?
Try QuickPic in the market. I use it alot now.
I wipe dalvic cache and perform a factory reset via CWM 3.0 each time i flash.
Quickpic says pictures not found. Is your SDcard mounted? And that made me think. Could it be something wrong with my SDcard? I mean, I can access stuff in it via Root Explorer...

OK this is a bit annoying when viewing my photos via media-gallery, I am met with lots of pictures which are pictures of all the apps I have on my phone. Is their anyway of stopping these and only viewing my own photos as this is so annoying tjamks.?
Yes you just need to put a .nomedia file in all the folders you dont want to media scan.

look in the market, there is an app called nomedia manager, it will easly put .nomedia files in the folders you want

you can also use ES File Explorer (free on market)
open it and go the the folder with the pictures/files you dont want to show then press menu, New file & save as .nomedia
App devs who don't do this by default, are just plain lazy

Hey guys
Do any of you know how to change folder layouts??? So like how to move apps within a folder or out of a folder?? Really lost.
Looked everywhere but just cant seem to find an answer.
Help..and thanks in advance

You can't. Also, if you put apps into folders, they will mysteriously move outside again after while, so don't even bother. Maybe they fix this some day.

Samsung was a bit shortsighted on that one and didn't build something like that in their launcher. My workaround for this is the following procedure: go into edit mode, grab the folder you want to edit to a new empty page and than delete the folder. The apps in it will populate the new page and you can re-add them to a new folder in your desired order, than re-add the new folder. If you want a more convient way for this try GO Launcher EX from market. It handles folders much more user friendly.As a note: You'll not be able to use any of samsungs widgets with any of the alternative launchers though.

I never have had something like that happening. Did you uninstall/install an app? In that case it looses its place in the folders.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. Yea it sucks that we have to use such a long proceduren.. I quite like to organise apps in folders..
