I know you can add the .noart option to your media folder but that also hides the album art from music player apps.
I don't want to rely on an app like Quickpic, I would like to maintain full functionality of the stock gallery app since some other apps give you the option to choose between the two.
Okay, answered my own question LOL. Vaulty works well for this.

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?

Check JustPictures app from market
A lot faster and more options than standard Gallery app

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 don't think this pertains to the rom very much, so I think it's better to make a separate thread (had same issue using the app on cm7). It downloads the wrong album art for everything and the only way to keep it from showing it is to disable embedded artwork, too. I'd like to be able to display the embedded, so is there any way to keep it from getting internet access or disabling the artwork folder on the sd card? Any help is appreciated.
Disable dl album art
Use another app to get album art I use album art grabber

I've spent the last four hours reading about various music apps and apparently some sound much better than others...
Do most of you use the stock HTC app or something else like PlayerPro, PowerPlay, or WinAmp Pro? Those seem to be the best options, unless Neutron has cleaned up it's UI.
The only real complaint I have is that if you play an artist and then go back to the list it doesn't remember where you were in that list and just puts you at the top.
I've also noticed that friends phones sound better(richer) when they're using PlayerPro, but that could be EQ settings.
So what do you use and what do you like about it?
I don't really care which player plays my music. As long as it can play the files I have I just go with that
The only problem I have with it is that it lacks gapless playback, which I know isn't important to everyone, but it is to me. Oh and you can't manually change your album artwork so they quality of the pictures ends up being pretty low. Otherwise I think it's a pretty big improvement on the Htc One X's, or rather ICS's Sense player.
Playerpro is by far the BEST of all music players I have tried. It has an option for almost anything. I'm almost 100% sure it keeps your place in the list, but it definitely keeps the album you were playing. The players has gapless, the album flow keeps the pictures in memory so you don't get that loading pictures thing when scrolling, lyrics are saveable, album artwork chooosable, and the DSP pack allows even more customization. But other then that i also has a whole bunch of skins to choose from if you get bored of one try another, it's great! It also lets you use the stock music lockscreen with is great. There are so many more advantages to Player Pro, my recommendation
My only gripe is that you do not have a shuffle option in a playlist which is such an easy fix,I hope HTC fix this in a future update.

I was actually wondering about this as well. Such a basic feature and it doesn't have it My year old HoX has it lol.
I have PowerAmp Pro installed but actually prefer the stock music app as I like the lockscreen controls and similar gestures to PowerAmp. I also like how you can access all of your songs from the music player without having to unlock the phone.
As an aside, I am hating the Mail app but only use it due to the lockscreen notifications and don't want to install Widget Locker. Wish there was a way to use the Gmail App and still receive lockscreen notifications.
Is there a way to exclude music album art from the stock Sony photo app (Xperia T running 4.3)? Album covers currently flood my photo library.
Thanks
Add a .nomedia file to your music folder

Doesn't this hide the actual mp3 files from apps such as Google Play Music?

Yes, it does hide all mp3 files also; not a solution.
As far as I know, there is no solution. I just use Quickpic and remove the in-built gallery/album app (or just don't use it, if you don't want to remove it). With Quickpic you can pick which folders you want to include, or pick which folders you want to exclude, or hide. A lot more versatile than the default Android app, and 10 times faster.
It seems that I can't disable the stock music app in the app settings. I wouldn't mind it being there, however it conflicts with every other music player.
For example when I listen music in Google Music, and I press the button on my headset I would expect that GM would stop playing music, but instead the stock music app starts playing.
Also on the home screen I can't control GM, just the stock app.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Root your device and either freeze it with titanium backup or while rooted just delete the. Apk

Thanks, I've removed it, and it's almost perfect. Now the stock music app can't interfere with other apps.
There is only one small issue left but I believe there is no solution for this: The music controls on the lock screen does not work. There is no music control widget, only the one included in the lock screen, which only controls the stock app (which is not removed, so it is useless)
Anyway, now at least I can control playback from my headset. Thanks.
My music controls work on play music and Poweramp when I deleted the stock music app. My issue is that the controls work but there is no album art which I hate.
