how can I prevent pictures/ videos of games from creating new album in my library? recently when I installed games and themes too many albums popped out in my gallery.
Create empty file with name .nomedia in folder with images/videos which should not be in gallery
Check this great tool: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.studiokuma.nomedia
Or try the best gallery on the market: quickpic, it has an option of hiding folders.

I have many folders in my gallery of pics such as album art, game pics, splash screens etc which I don't want in my gallery. Is there an app or way to stop the gallery from watching certain folders. Also have the same problem with music and video where game music and videos show up.
Thanks alot

Create a blank file named .nomedia and put it in each folder. Everything in the folder and any folder below should be hidden.
Is there a way to that on my phone or do I have to do on my comp which is at home?

Its not really a lot faster but it does have options, its significantly slower though since it shows higher resolution/quality images.

you can stop the media scanner by command or by app (search in dev section)
I have a similar issue and I am going mad with my 1000s of media art showing on gallery. There should be a way to manually assign afolder for indexing.

Right, i like opt-in more as well, but nowadays it is opt-out everywhere.
What i did was putting empty .nomedia file in all main folders so media scan is fast now. Gallery and MP3 Player are of course empty now, but since i use QuickPic and PowerAmp as alternatives that allow opt-in, i do not care.
Before that i used Rescan Media Root to disable media scanning completely, but this had the bad side effect of loosing custom ring tones after reboot.
I ripped some DVDs to watch on my cappy using handbrake and after transferring them to the sd card, tried internal and external, I don't get a thumbnail or title for the movie in Gallery. I uploaded them into a dir called "MyVideos" in the root of my external card.
I'm running the perception ROM, no tweaks or mods. But I've had this issue with every ROM so far (Cog, Stock, etc)
Anyone find a work around to labeling movies for Gallery? I can browse to the folder using Astro and can read the files names, which I guess could be a reasonable work around, but would prefer to use Gallery.
Look in the video player app, they shold be listed there.
Use whichever file manager app you have to rename it by long pressing on the file.

Videos Listing in Gallery
The videos in Gallery are listed in "thumb nail" format. Which sometime can't be easily identified. Is there a way to change it to list by file name instead?
Yeap, it's normal.
A .nomedia file is a blank file placed in a folder. When the media scanner detects the .nomedia file, the media scanner doesn't scan that folder so the images in that folder don't appear in the Gallery app. With this, you can prevent junk images like weather skins as an example to appear in your photo gallery.
Same goes to the music. If you don't want background music from games to appear in the music player, just create a .nomedia file in the selected game folder.

If you want to view the contents of your external sd card .. go to /mnt/emmc ..
How is it possible to make folders in the photo album? If I make folders it not shows the folders in albums it only shows all photos.
Hello,
I think this is not possible with the pre-installed gallery.
On my phone I use "Cool 3d Gallery" from the Play Store. There you have all your folders when starting the app.
And if you have a rooted phone you can use an Ad-Blocker to disable the annoying Pop-Up when closing the app.
Hi guys. Is there a setting for the Album app to capture only 1 album source (like DCIM)? Default setting is like all image files are shown like everything from screenshots to album arts from mp3s. It would be nice to select what folders to capture and show on the app. Is there a possibility of doing this or should I just use other apps?

Well, a workaround would be to use Quickpic and exclude all folders except the DCIM folder
Thanks biggie. I already got quickpic. But i really like album. I wish ony would make this a feature.
