Gallery App - any way to hide albums? - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

I don't want my Gallery app showing me various movies that I have (I just want my movie player to show those), but the Gallery app currently seems to show everything. Is there any way to select which folders to show and which folders to hide? I have this option on my One X but don't see it in the stock ICS app here.

can you drop that .nomedia file in the offending folder via a file browser?

would this help?

This is the same as using the .nomedia file - browse the folders you hid using a file browser and you see the .nomedia in there, at least for hiding files.
There are other reasons QuickPic is good, just pointing out, if that's all you're doing, the .nomedia file will take care of it

also the app gallery excluder

Not 100% correct as you can exclude instead of hiding this way the no media file won't stop your video player finding the files.

If it's a folder you can just rename it and start it with a period ".".
Worked for me!

Bookmark widgets. They can be placed in folders too.

Go to your bookmarks page (via the browser), long press on the bookmark and then select 'add shortcut to home'. You can then put the shortcuts in a folder.

What does this have to do with cropping a background?

I tried uploading pics to places like zedge so I could use my own pics as backgrounds without them being cropped and all stretched out but I couldn't get them to upload.

cuz if i remember correctly, there is an app that allows you to use your gallery pics as backgrounds without having to crop. "all wallpapers". but some apps don't allow you to just download any file

[Q] How To add pictures to the "Wallpaper Gallery" menu

Does anyone know to add pictures to the "Wallpaper Gallery menu"???? I use the stock ROM rooted which only comes with only about 4 or 5 wallpapers embedded into the Wallpaper Gallery menu however I decompiled the TwWallpaperChooser.apk and found there's waaaay more wallpapers than what the OS actually allows us to choose from... In the end I would like to have all the wallpapers shown under the Wallpaper Gallery menu. Can anyone help with this? Anyone??

Where Is Note 2 Touch Wiz Stock Folder Icon

Does anyone know where I can find the Note 2 TouchWiz Stock Folder Icon? The one that is like a lying down ring folder? I am rooted with Root Explorer and have been looking through all the folders but I can't seem to figure out where it is. I've also googled it and can't find any reference to it. I know if worse comes to worse I could always try to replicate it in Photoshop, but am hoping someone already knows where I can grab it off the stock ROM. TIA
You mean system/app?

Its in the res/drawable xhpi I think. Look for the icon its a .png image so you don't have to do anything.

I can't find that folder or any file name resembling that on my rooted device. I am searching through all folders from root folder.

Ah forget it. Nova launcher 2 already has this folder icon to choose from. Its called "Disc"

That's because you have to decompile that apk.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Use root explorer go to system/app/seclaucher2.apk/
Single press
Select view
Then you will see the folders included in the .apk select the res folder/ drawable xdpi
I took some pictures with the steps I took to get there.

Nova launcher folder creation question

Hello,
I am using the nova launcher.
Is it possible to create a folder that I can drag to the dock?
A folder dedicated to audio related apps, inside this folders will be my stock music player, viper enhancer , poweramp player, etc.
I've been trying to do this for awhile now.
thanks,
I'm able to drag folders to the dock from my desktop no problem. On Nova 2.3 Prime.

Just drag & drop one icon over the other to create a folder. You can then long press that folder to edit the folder name etc.
@unleashd thank you
