Did you try putting a file called .nomedia in the folder where the icons are stored. That will exclude the files from the gallery. It will also exclude sub folders.

thanks for help, but it doesn't work...
You could switch to a different pic viewer, like Quickpic. It allows you to exclude folders from scanning. However, in the stock gallery, it still scans them. I also saw an app on the market that supposedly hides pics. I haven't tried it, so i couldn't tell you if it works.
Hi all, just a quick one, does anyone know how to set a custom text tone? I've got an mp3 file, I've messed around with file explorer and placed it in media, audio, notifications and also created a notifications folder but it's still not being recognized in the settings as a choice for notifications.
I'm not rooted.
It's odd because I can see the Facebook pop sound in the notifications folder I'm trying to put this file in.

Ps-original file I'm trying to use is a voice memo if that makes any difference

I downloaded some sounds off zedge and had to move them to the /media/notification folder and they did not show up, after restarting my device they were there.

Hello,
I have been trying to search for Folder creating app inside menu. I found many app but all of them are creating folder on home screen. I want to manage my all apps in different different folders accordingly. Before i was having samsung android phone and it was having such facility. But in sony its not available. So i cannot lock a folder containing all games. please help...
You mean in the app draw you want to create folders? I have used Sony phones for long time and this is one function I don't think Sony supports

Installed Apex Launcher Pro its great
You may try drag and drop an app over another. Also you must sort the app by own order.
This one to save any confusion it is the one with open tabs, home button, back button and open task manager.
it is on constantly, even when apps are open.
it used to go off when i opened apps but no longer does and just pushes the app up so i loose the top section off the app.
i've looked and googled but can't find anything.
The tab is rooted but i've not installed anything to change it.
Can some kind sole tell me where the setting is to put it back to default.
Thank you

Thought i had but had multiple tabs open so must have got the wrong one.
i'll try there, cheers
I remember this being a quirk with the Note 3. If you organize apps into folders on the app screen (not the home screen), they will be forgotten and ejected from the folders unless you click Save or Done after adding them rather than pushing back, even though it appears they're still in the folders.
Now I'm having this problem with the Note 4, but I can't find the trick to getting it to remember folder contents, as there's no Done or Save on the Edit screen.

I created a bunch of folders and only had that problem with one of them. I had to delete it and create it again and then it stopped ejecting the apps.

I'm having the same problem with my UK Sim free unlocked note 4.
Tried all sorts of things but some apps stay in the folders others just pop right out!

Solution: Do not use the plus sign inside the folders, or the apps will fall out of the folders when you reboot. Instead, press “Edit,” and drag and drop the apps into the folders. This will keep the apps inside the folders. Honest. It worked for me.
