On my galaxy s I have an external sd card which i put a bunch of songs on in a folder called music. When I open up the music player I see my songs but also sound files from various sound boards I have installed, as well as ring tones I have downloaded. How do I fix this so its just music?
Thanks
You can create an empty file with the name ".nomedia" in a directory to prevent it from showing up in your gallery. It will automatically hide all subdirectories as well.

If that doesnt work for you then this also worked for me:
BACKUP THE RINGTONE >
OPEN MUSIC PLAYER AND DELETE IT FROM THERE >
CONVERT RINGTONE TO .WAV (NOT .OGG) >
TRANSFER NEW TONE BACK TO PHONE

This is what I did. I threw it on the root of my internal ram, and keep all my media on my external card. Simple and effective.

Nothing in the folder containing a file or directory .nomedia will be scanned. You dont have to move your files.

The zip files generate many .brn files. How does one install this? Move to the zip file to the phone (what directory?) and then unzip? Or unzip on the desktop and then move the files? To what directory?
damn,,it would be sweet if you could change the action screen items and include actions such as vibrate/ring, soft reset etc..

Hi,it's normal it's the picture format for this plugin.Unzip the files in your pc then replace the original files by mine in windows directory on your ppc.
Nice work !!
thx
I apologize for not know but which folder in the windows directory do you copy the files to?
Hi,in all the files must be copied in Windows directory itself.
how come i dont see the words " select a task below " in the action screen?
Change the original background by this one.

Hi Marc:
How are you? I've missed chatting with you.
I finally decided to give your action screen a try. Looks great, but I was wondering would you be able to make the background a darker black color? I am using the Diamond Mobile Shell skin, and a darker background would match it better.
Thanks, and I hope you are doing well
I made a .cab for the 1st HTC Action Screen posted.
I also re-mapped it to the left soft key.

Hi,
Have been seeing quite a few people with modified message counters... eg:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Was wondering if anyone had instructions as to how to do this? Had a search through the forum, but didnt find much on it
Any Help is appreciated
Many Thanks

If you install this app you have a folder called "com.kanokgems.smswidget"
which you can find at you sd-card/data.
Then just place your images in the sms unread folder in the data folder on your sd card, it will show up under custom images from SMSUnread settings menu
Nice screen
This method works in that it shows the image I've created to be used in Desktop Visualizer. The problem I am coming up with is when the image shows up on the screen it is much smaller than what it would normally show up.
It's a 1x2 size image.
Any ideas? Stretching it on the screen hasn't worked.
^^ Make the icon bigger in the first place? instead of trying to stetch it out later.
Is the email icon really only limited to gmail? I have 2 accounts i check frequently... neither of which are gmail lol!

Adb pull the app (uninstall it after), open with winrar, mod the apk with your own icons, you can either mod the assets folder or Res/drawable-hdpi/mdpi holder. Use 48x48 or 72x72 icons. Sign the apk. Install it normally. You can do all this using apk manager.

I installed a MIUI Music app from my SD card using CWM, but after trying it out I'd like to remove it. When I go to remove it however, I don't get the option to uninstall. How can I remove it?

Through ES File Explorer

I've tried ES File Explorer and File Expert, both free alternatives to Root Explorer. I've given the apps root permissions but they aren't successfully deleting the file (as seen by errors shown in post 1).
I'm wondering if I have R/W permission, but I can't find anywhere to enable or disable that in either app I'm using.
[edit]
Using File Expert under Settings>Mount there is Mount as Read Write
This did the trick
glad you got it done

I was on MIUI v3 last week and thought the ROM itself was OK, I switched to Darky 10.1 for now (maybe CM7 next)...but I really liked the MIUI Music app. I found a copy in the apps section on xda but it wasn't the same version as the one I was using on v3, was missing some features I liked (slide up/down now playing menu). I asked for someone from the MIUI Dev thread to get me a copy of the APK, but after pushing it to /system/app (see, I know how to do that now) and rebooting, it wasn't in my app menu, and when I select it in File Expert it says "Error parsing file package"
have you tried to extract the app and push the files to the right location ??
im not 100% on this i have been with CM - MIUI for ages now, so i forgot a lot about the samsung based ROMs,
anyway i have extracted the MIUI music app from my latest MIUI release, give it a try and see what happens with this version

For some reason I can't access anymore the internal memory, directly or via a PC after installing infiniROM. Any ideas why?

because of swap, internal memory is a part of data partition and it will be used for apps and games only, not for files like music or pictures..if you want to use it for files flash the stock rom again.
I understand, but in my case, I need to put some files in one of the installed program's folder (igo). How can I do that?

With a root-explorer like ES-Filexplorer
I'm trying, but I'm not able to find the program's folder. Actually, I can't find any installed program files. Any idea in which folder I should look?
In Android/data/ or data/data/ e.g.
via Razr I & Tapatalk 4
I have no folder Android, and the folder Data on root(device) is empty.
Which fileexplorer do you use?
I use Dateimanager. Don't know how this App is called in your country
I guess filemanager in english

I use ES File Explorer. I found the folder Android/data on sd card, but still not the desired folders inside:
Did you try the search-function included in ES?
via Xoom 2 & Tapatalk 4
I tried now to search for "igo" or "orux", but with no success...
Did you try to install this app again?
via Razr I & Tapatalk 4
I did not, but it's not only about this particular app, I think I have 40 apps installed, which folders should be accessible.
if you've installed the apps, look for them in
internal storage/Android/data
or
internal storage/data
or go to system root:
system root/data/media
this is the old 'internal storage' folder, you should be able to find the Android folder in there, which should contains the installed user apps data.
I am not able to find something called internal storage. In the storage folder I have only sdcard0, which is the external sdcard.
On system root/data folder is empty
Did you try to install this app again?
via Razr I & Tapatalk 4
Yes I did, but with no result.
I would suggest you to make a clean reinstall of the infiniROM. Maybe something got broken...
I reinstalled it but it's the same, so I gave up and installed a different ROM

You need to be root for having writing permissions on the erternal SDCard.
But that's how it supposed to work with Android 4.4.2, google removed this permission...

Use file commander
Use the stock app file commander. starting from kitkat, any 3rd party file explorer/manager will not have permission to write on sdcard. only stock system app like the file commander have write access to sdcard

Right, also you can just connect your phone in USB in MSC (mass storage) mode and remove yourself what you don't want anymore, it's what i actually do.
