I noticed this when browsing through my videos on mx player. I've never known it to be found here, let alone twice. Easiest way to explain it would be to just look at the screens. Anyone else have this issue?

that 'media-rw' folder you have has symlink(s) to the storage(or mnt) directories.
Like a shortcut to a directory.
That makes sense. I was thinking it was a shortcut. So, two things I think it could be is either folder mount, or Google+ backup. I didn't notice it before either of these, but I've since turned off backup. It's slightly annoying since all folders duplicate within my video player.

So I'm going to do a backup and delete those shortcuts, see what complains about it. Anyone know?

I'm trying to hide some pictures from folders that I need from the Gallery app.. I used to do this by adding a ".nomedia"folder.. But since I got the galaxy s3 it doesn't seem to be working that way.. I can't delete the pictures or the apps won't work.. Does anybody have a fix for this.. Without downloading a application for it? Thanks for any help you can give me!

It's a file named .nomedia not a folder...

I used to use a folder.. But either way neither of them work (file/folder)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
just add the .nomedia file to the folder.

How are you adding the file? Maybe I can walk you through it... check you private messages if you need help still
After you add the .nomedia file, clear gallery cache, reboot, and see if the pictures are there.
I did... I have never had a problem doing this before.. Until the galaxy s3 its soo strange., I appreciate everyone's help thank you so much.. I just can't figure this out. I will post some screen shots

You could also try deleting those pictures. Then they're sure to not show up.

If I delete them then my clocks won't have images.. So I'd have to re download all my files.. Then I'd be in the same boat again

I just sent you a link in a private message with the nomedia file i created - maybe the one your creating has a permissions issue, so maybe if you download that one and put it in your directory, then clear the data and reboot it will fix your issue...
I had this problem too. Download hide it pro and you can set pics to not show in the gallery.

I think your problem is using myfiles to create the file - try using a different file explorer - i use root explorer but there are others ones like astro that should work, then clear the data and reboot....
If you look myfiles doesnt see my .nomedia file but root explorer does:

If you clear data it will not delete your photos, it will just make gallery rebuild its database of the files...
Why are you adverse to downloading an app to accomplish your goal? There are free apps that do what you need and with a lot less time and hassle.

Here's what my gallery looks like after using Hide It Pro- despite the name, its a free app. I've seen what you're talking about with the black boxes, the first app I tried did that.

I can't seem to find a solution to my problem. Please see attachment. Basically, I cannot use my camera or gallery because of a No External Storage Available message. I wanted to take pictures and clips over the holiday period (I haven't got a proper camera)... I would be very grateful for any help! Cheers!:fingers-crossed:
It would help if you attached a screenshot of your Storage screen in Settings. That will show what is available and what is used. Perhaps we can find your memory hog.

Thanks for your reply. Here is the screenshot. Seems ok, no?
Is this a 16gb model? Its showing less than 6gb of total storage,did you do something that changed partitions or something?

Your images folder might have been deleted or is corrupted,maybe a cause for gallery and your camera not finding it.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
Hi! No, it's the 8GB model, one of the very first batch...
I may very well have deleted the image folder when I was having problems with the update to 4.2. It would be great if you could tell me where to put it back (under pictures?) and what to name it. Thanks!

Is the path mine uses on stock 4.2.1. You might want hook it up to a computer to find it unless you have a file manager.

Oh, using ES File Explorer I can see that I have this folder, and I even have some pictures in it taken before the 4.2 update. For some reason my camera and gallery can't access it. Any ideas?

have you tried using other cameera applications or quickpic and if so what were the results?
Maybe try to empty the folder onto your pc,maybe it is set to only use so much of the memory.
I have never used my camera so I can only make suggestions.
Sorry I cant help more.

Just a thougt... did you try clearing the cache of gallery app..... settings - apps - all - gallery ... clear cache

go into apps in settings and clear galarys data and cache, force stop it to.
if all elce fails you could fastboot flash 4.2.1, after backing everything up with titanium backup.

Hello,
how to make gallery only show pictures in Pictures folder and those taken by the phone?
It showing random album covers and logos renders it almost useless for me cause it is hard to find things. Any solution?
PS.: I am aware that i could make a .nomedia everywhere but that would defeat the purpose of making things easier since I'd have to do that every time theres a new folder on my device.

AW: Gallery only selected folders?
So it is not possible? Any answers please?

As far as I can see there isn't a way to be able to change those shortcuts. I saw a thread about this a while ago, and it seemed that they didn't find a solution either.

I found that if you disable "PageBuddyNotiSvc 1.0" that they are gone completely. This is what I wanted though.
Same issue and not showing music player or a video player.
I think samsung need to think about this bug and solve it ASAP.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Its not a bug, it just shows your most frequently used apps.
My 2 cents,
After updating TuneIN Radio app, it was gone, and I find it handy to have it there. Since its based with the frequency of its utilization, what I did was to open and close the app repeatedly, untill it showed there Simple and efficient hehehe :laugh:
I couldn't find anything about this by searching, so here goes. Has anyone noticed the sort order of apps in folders on the home screens of the stock launcher changes from time to time? I have several folders with apps in them on my home screen. Every once in a while I will open the folder and the sort order of the apps will be scrambled. Later on it resolves itself. I haven't been able to determine a specific scenario that might be causing this yet. I'm stock rooted on ZV8.
