Howdy,
I've been googling and searching forums for info on the location of the "Android wallpapers" folder on the EVO. The folder that starts with the purple static ball, then the green grass, etc.? But I can't seem to find any info on THAT folder. ugh.
I've been tapping every folder in Astro Filer Manager. But, I can't seem to locate the wallpapers...
Help?
Thanks,
Ian
Not sure what you are trying to do , but , If you want to add wallpapers , you can create a folder on the SD card called Wall papers , Then they will appear in the list when you want to change your wallpaper.

I'm trying to locate the actual Android wallpapers, as I would like to play with them in photoshop, then upload them to my SD for use.
the htc wallpapers appear to be in /System/customize/resource
Ok , well at this time most of this is beyond me , but , if you go here:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f37/wallpaper-directory-11685/
read that article , which will lead you back to an XDA article it should explain why we cant find them...
good luck

if you use toasts root, then nand unlock, you can get to them easily using android commander.
what is the best way to organize your memory card
how to name your folders fro easier navigation and so they show up in phone's apps by default.
like picture and video folders .
and what are default HD2 folders?
please all yaalll show your folder structure on the card how it is setup.
heres what i have.
audio
books
DCIM
documents
downloads
ebooks
manuals
my documents
program files
videos
zero ( unsorted folder) zero is to make it last in line.
Mine is almost identical to yours (I call "audio" music, and only have an "ebooks" folder).
The only one I have extra is one called "Cabs", which I generally strip out an dput on my PC every couple of months, but until then it's a respository of ones I've tried and liked since my last ROM flash.
I also keep all unsorted files (and also videos) in the root of the drive, but I may start being more organised, and have a "z_More" folder too
ALLWAYSON - for programs that dont need to be installed, like notepad.exe, my provxml files, sendandrecieveall.exe, GPRSEnabler/disabler, googlemaps (I use teh 'fake google maps'using VJBrisk tweak in my rom to allow google maps to run from there, and so not need reinstalling every time i hard reset)
Programs in this folder have hardcoded quicklinks cooked into my ROM to them.
AUTOINSTALL - all my most used cabs live in there, and the cooked roms auto install them whenever i hard reset. Things like resco, opera, MYTWEAKS.cab
CABSTORE - for cabs that i want to have with me, but dont always need to have installed
DCIM - default images folder
INCOMING - my registry tweaks (MYTWEAKS.CAB) point opera and bluetooth to download everything to this folder.
MUSIC - pretty self explanatory
PROGRAM FILES - again, says it all in the name
SCRAP - like a temp folder, i empty it weekly or so.

im mostly trying to figure out how to store images and where
i setup my wallpapers by size(480x800 folder name)
when i tried to use that folder as a default for my wallpapers from cht it shows blank album with no pictures...
Hi All,
I am experiencing a media scanning issue with (only) a specific app (so far) - 9gag.
Whenever I download an image from their feed with the dedicated 'save' button, it will save it onto my internal storage (can't change the location of that, just like you can't change it for whatsapp), but it won't show up in my gallery.
When I try to open the imaeg in the file explorer, it says 'scanning media files... try again after scan is completed' - however, no matter how long I wait, I can't open it and it never becomes visible in the gallery.
I tried following things so far:
- reboot: it works, every time I reboot, all files are scanned and in the gallery, however, if I save further images, the new ones won't show up until I reboot again
- stop media scanning service and clear data: no effect
- rename folder: no effect
- rename image file: this works, it shows up in gallery
- copy/move onto sd card: this works too, it shows up in gallery
As you can see, there ARE ways I can make the images visible, but none of them is a sustainable way. I can't reboot or rename after each image I save, that's madness.
Oh and btw, all other apps do work, for example if I save files through screenshots, downloads, Facebook, Line or WeChat, the phone does create a folder in the same way it does for 9gag and the media inside is visible in the gallery with no problems, so it is very likely app specific? I also reached out to 9gag already but i don't think they will reply...
Any ideas or comments (please refrain from anti-9gag comments like I received in reddit lol)?
Have you tried a different file explorer to see if you can view/move the file?
I've moved away from ES file explorer cause not a fan of their layout. I use Root Explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en
It allows for you to have two directories side by side (I use it to have internal and SD card) so that I can move files easily between the two.

Thank you, I have tried this app before, but with my old G2. Will try, but I'm wondering if that app has any effect on the media scanning process itself...
I have the same problem. The first photo i saved from 9gag showed up fine, after that, none of the other photos that I saved would show up. I didn't know about the restarting the phone part, to get photos to show up in the gallery. The only way i found to get the photos to show up is to download the app, ScanMediaPlz. After I save a few photos, I tap on the app, and the photos will appear in google photos. best way to get them to show up without have to restart the phone or rename the files. Hopefully it can get fixed later on so they show up right away in Google Photos after we saved them...
One more thing that i hate is that on Google Photos, it doesn't create a Facebook download folder. All photos saved from FB save to the camera folder. In the gallery app that i download it has its own dedicated FB folder with the photos I have saved.
As the title says, my gallery folder is filled with either stickers from facebook messenger or ads from mostly i guess free games that show ads frequently, saved in a collection called "UnityAdsCache" Or "al"
I have already seen other threads about this but all i got was just to place a .nomedia into the data folder of a specific application, but whats the point if i have to guess and navigate to every single app that results in those random pictures and place manually a .nomedia folder in order to avoid them? That means that everytime i download an app that includes ads, i will have to place a .nomedia folder by myself.
Any solutions?

Glad I'm not the only one with this issue.
Usually those image files are stored in the app's data folder, which is a subfolder in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data. If you put the .nomedia file in the .../Android/data folder, all of the subfolders will be hidden from a Gallery app. That should hide most of those images. This will also cover any new folders added when new apps are installed.
Are you using the stock Gallery app? I use an app called Simple Gallery Pro that makes it easy to hide folders. It'll show you the entire path to the folder where the image is stored and give you the option to hide the folder higher up the tree. It also gives you the option to temporarily show hidden folders so you can find something if needed.
A week ago I got my new OnePlus 6T 128GB/8GB in Thunder Purple and so far I love every moment of it and the design, only app that actually is letning me down is OnePlus' own Gallery app.
I want to be able to change the picture shown on the folder in Collections in the OnePlus Gallery app for personal reasons, and I cannot seem to figure out why and I hope anyone here knowns if it's possible.
If you have Tasker I would try to use that to automate file moves. If you don't, I highly recommend the app, it's extremely powerful especially if you spend some time learning about it!
Create a sub folder where you put the photos you don't want to see. Main folder illustration image will not be taken from subfolders.
My OnePlus 6T ain't rooted and I am not planning to do so.
Oki I cannot get the subfolder inside a folder to work maybe I am dum tried with the file manager.
I tried a subfolder inside the folder I want and copied a picture to it and it showed up as a regular folder ??
Add an empty file named '.nomedia' in the subfolder it will prevent media scanning (with the . at the beginning don't forget it)

Hmm I want it to still be showed in the gallery just in collections I have a folder called like Walls and then a subfolder called colours or windfall.
It's just that the folder shows the newest picture in it and I am not happy about that. This is the only complain I have really.
