Hello everyone.
I was adding some files to the Galaxy S. Now I want some of them to be hidden so that they do not show in gallery or video player (incase of videos) for everyone and I can make them visible when I want them. Is it possible? If yes can someone please tell how to go about it or is there any app for it?
Regards
keep a blank file with the extension .nomedia in the folder that you want to exclude from media scanning..
You could also use "Vaulty Free" app that moves selected images and videos into a virtual vault which then requires a password to open and view. This also ensures that they do not show up in gallery and video player.
Hope this helps.
put the files you want to be hidden in a folder, and put a dot '.' before the name, like this:
.folder
this will hide it if you have, 'show hidden files' unchecked in options

I tried vaulty free. It looked to be a good app which would do the job but somehow when I locked videos through vaulty free they showed as "Images" in the vault! which wouldnt play. Also it took quite some time for 1 video too be transfered which was about 40 mb. So I guess it would take too much time if the quantity and size is large.

I had known about the nomedia trick but it displayed the files in the "my files" option. Adding a . before the name looks promising.
When done with nomedia file I guess it would solve the purpose. Would have to try this combination.
Thanks for the help folks.

The default action when you login to Vaulty is to display the stored images. Click Menu --> Videos to see and play the videos. Yes it does take a long time to transfer large videos.

Did that but it doesnt show anything when "videos" is selected and when images is selected files are show but they dont play!
Strange!! It works for me perfectly. I am assuming that you are able to play those videos outside vaulty using the stock video player.
How did you add the videos to vaulty?
The way I added is while the video was playing in the stock video player --> Menu --> Share Video --> Vaulty Free.
The only issue I have with Vaulty is I can play only one video at a time after which I will have to reenter the password.

Hmm yeah that is strange indeed. The videos work fine in the stock player but arent recognised in the vaulty free. It may work again if I reinstall the app but I will first try the other method as I would have large no. of files and adding them with Vaulty would take much time and as you just said it wont help if I have to enter the pass again and again after watching each video!

Ok everyone I know some of you may know about this, and some of you may not, but there is a way to watch Youtube videos on your WM6 device. And no, I'm not talking about the downloading, saving and relaunching way. It works the way it (more or less) should, you click the link and the video plays. Just use these two files that I'm posting for you. Here's all you have to do.
1. If you have a version TCPMP already installed, uninstall it. Then SOFT RESET!!!
2. Install the tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1.cab file
3. Then install the FlashVideoBundle-v1-2.cab file.
4. SOFT RESET
5. Go to youtube and enjoy!
Hope this helps.
Does not work on mine
When trying to play You Tube on my TMO Wing, the windows media player opens and then a box opens with message "Unspecified error".
I get a message about not being able to open the file after I get a warning about a system command that might be harmful to run. It says that the file is not signed with a cleared certificate or that one of the components doesn't exist. It tells me to reinstall the components if the problem continues.
Hmmm, maybe I need to rename some files.
Did a little snooping with the explorer, but could not see any files that could be problematic, like language locked files.

Did you soft reset after installing the 2 cabs? Becuase if done right, Windows Media player wont be the default player for the files.
Storage Card
Would these work if I install them on a storage card?
I'm completely empty on storage space.

From what I've heard yes, but they both have to be installed onto the storage card. I don't have one yet so I can't confirm it.

It might be lagging just because the GPRS/Edge network you're on. Try it using a wi-fi connection, if it still lags, then I would suggest a couple of things:
1. Use the Quick Page Pool changer to change your Page Pool to 6MB to free up some RAM
and/or
2. Use Battery Status to overclock your device.
Good luck!
When I use MUSIC, it lists every song on the TF GUI, whereas what I want it to do is show every album. i cant seem to get it to do so. Anyone?
it doesn't work like that. it only shows your current playing album or playlist. it's not the same as iphone
it was the first time i ran it
Is there no possibility to show the Albumd and then brows to them?

No it wasn't if you're talking about the installed music.
Each of those files was a distinct single track from an album each having different meta-data. They were attached to a single playlist and the phone is set up as such that on a hard reset that playlist loads up on default.

Sorry I meant to reply to you as well.
No unfortunately there isn't in touch-flow. How would it work? Each single press on a cover launches the actual play function it doesn't issue a drill-down command.
Can anyone recommend a good application (preferably free) that enables us to have a secure section for photos, videos and documents?
Hide it pro is pretty good. It shows up as "audio manager" in the app drawer so no one will know the difference.

Search for Vaulty in the market. I know it hides pics and videos and can be password protected, not sure about documents though.

yep vaulty free is the $hit works awesome i use and i like lmao
wow... if you really need to hide something then don't put it on your phone.
Or do what I did...put 3 ... Before the file folder and it hides the folder and content. And then when you wanna view just enable hidden folders in the settings and bam there their for ya.

RR File Locker will do exactly what you're looking for.
Maybe one question too much, but I put it anyway
The system with with builtin sdcard and a separate ext_card are driving me nuts.
I am not asking about to put apps in ext_card, my question is how to use it.
Movies is easy, the movieplayer founds the movies in my ext_card. So does as well the Album app - it founds all my pictures.
But what about the music-app???
Sony delivers the amazing Walkman-app but it does not support files stored in the ext_card??
I can easily fill my phone with 10 Gig music.
Don't tell me to use Spotify or Google Musik - I already does.
Sometimes I want to listen offline on my own special music - and I want to store it on the ext_card!
One weird thing;
I installed Spotify as specified in this forum - it stores the offline music on the ext_card.
I did an initial sync to check that everything worked well (with the latest Spotify update)
Actually, my Walkman app found that music!
But it does not find anything later on.....
How to use the ext_card in best way??
All my music is my external card and the walkman reads it fine...just clear the data in walkman app and media scanner from settings and wait for the media scanner to find it all again.
EDIT
And also check that you do not have any .nomedia files in those folders, otherwise the media scanner bypasses them
Tried to clear out data in Walkman app but no success. Where do I find "mediascanner"?
I have checked the .nomedia issue

At least consistent. Nothing found on the ext_card. No movies, no pictures and no music.
Everything on sdcard is found
Well, well, let's wait a few reboots and see

When I select Timeshift-Video from the camera options and record a video (no matter to internal or class 10 SD card), it indeed does record a video and the small thumbnail also shows "120f" after saving. But then playback is just like any other regular video, that is, in real time. Hence, no timeshift/slow-motion anywhere. Further, I don't get this -well, how to describe it- settings circle on the screen for playback adjustments I used to see on the Z2.
Phone is stock (BL locked) with FW .98 DE. Anyone experienced the same issue or is that just me? Any hints appreciated.
I have the same problem. I tried internal memory an sd card, its just not working.
Strange...
Try to open the video and then push the edit button.
Normmaly the video editor opens and you can choose the sequence and the speed of the video...

Exactly, that's how it should normally work, but it doesn't on my phone. Also, there's no edit button anywhere, only on photos.
What FW version/build do you have installed? Maybe that's something that got fixed in .105 (I'm on .98)?
23.0.A.2.93 is my version. Same problem mine does not have a edit button. Only star and trashcan buttons are available.
Finally figured it out...
Check for App "Movie Creator" to actually appear twice under Settings-> Apps -> All.
Movie Creator 1.3.A.0.11
Movie Creator 2.0.A.0.10
Now, since I did not want these great automatic movies to get created thereby filling up (if only a bit) my precious storage, I disabled both of them.
That was one too much
(Re-)Enabling the one with the older version alone (Movie Creator 1.3.A.0.11) brings back full functionality of Timeshift Videos.
However, why Sony has tied these together (Timeshift Videos and Movie Creator) is beyond me...
Excellent!
THANKTHANKTHANK THANK I LOVE !! fix it
for me the Movie Creator wont show the 120 fps video and when i am in the video i cant press "edit". it wont show at all
so is there another way to watch those 120 fps in slowmo? on pc? on the device with another videoplayer perhaps?

how did you get these two apps? i have the app installed from Sony and i can start it, but it doesn't apear in the list settings > apps > all i have none of the above.
i tried removing the app and reinstalling it from the playstore, but still no timeshift editting.
how did you do that?
Are you on Android 5? Not sure whether they got renamed since 4.4.4 (which I'm still using). Check System Apps with say Es File Explorer, too.

go in to your 120f video like your going to play it. but instead of tepping the middle of the screen to play it tap underneath it. youll see what looks like a
press that icon. then you can adjust what speed and trim the video
