the stock xperia z album shows all the pictures at the same place instead of folders etc. i have come from S3 with a custom rom in which the album showed folders instead of pictures scattered all over! so im wondering if there is a way to port another album type into my xperia z? or anyway i can change the album type?

same with me .. yes i think u can't change the album type in xperia z album likes some folder as usual , it automatically sorting by month and year ...
at my opinion, you must try "QuickPic" app try it . you can change the type images in there anytime you want it :good:

Your main folder with its sub folder for pictures is not allowed to be named DCIM. Give it another name and the album app will show you folders

Thanks for the tip - helped me a lot! My pictures were all over the place! Wish I could get rid of the facebook, maps & globe folders too!
I worried about the same issue until I had the idea to rename the folder on my external sd, where are my archived pictures were stored

I'll try that again. I wasn't getting that in the sony one, and I'm sure I had everything in folders (folder per year, subfolder per day), and I was just seeing a inaccessible unarranged lump of pictures

so should i rename the PICTURES folder or the DCIM folder?
I had my picture folders in a second DCIM folder on the external sd. This DCIM folder is the one to rename.
If you have your picture folders in the DCIM folder where the camera stores its pictures, you need to put them in another folder.

ok so my DCIM folder only contains the camera pictures. My all other pictures are in another separate folder named Pictures on ext. sd. But still all these pictures and the ones in DCIM show as one lump of pictures...
You need to go to the second tab and choose "my sd card"

The Album - Pictures sort by Date do kind of dumb, I dislike it also. For view by folder, the only way is go to 2nd tab - My albums.
The BE2 for picture only work under Album, but it work in any apps for video. At least I try out MX Player Pro and it work with BE2 engine.
I was hoping got options set BE2 always on everywhere. Sony did BE2 for certain apps only is dumb also.
Hope that sony updates some feautures like be2 everywere all the time,album app to show only maps no big f#cking list of all the pics thqt is soooo annoying hahaha,
,camera compression and lag ect.ect.

Hi folks
How do you hide photos on the Z? I have tried moving the photos with file commander but this is still showing in the gallery and shortcut on my main screen? are they any apps or ways of deselecting folders on the gallery or album app?

Try hide it pro from the market
try create a folder starting with a dot, like: .photos.
and put the pictures there...
In the folder where you want to store and hide photos create a file called .nomedia then move the photos into the folder.
If you add the .nomedia file to an existing folder you may need to wipe Gallery data before it takes effect. Works on Sammy and HTC, haven't tried it myself on Sony.
OR, if rooted, get LUKS Manager from the market. Works like Windows Truecrypt.

I think media storage is more important. You also better reboot your phone.

Or you can download quickpic app to hid the folders for you..
it actually only create .nomedia file for you..
Install 'hide it pro' app downloading via Google play store, its free and after installation it will be renamed as audio manager, and tapping at 'audio manger' you will be able to install your password and you can view your hidden photos, videos. You can encrypt your data also.
And if you have root acess, you can hide your app downloading its plugin, located at advanced settings. Then you can launch your app calling @ ##yourpassword .

To hide your porn, clear data in media storage and album apps after renaming the .folder.

I tried Hide It Pro but prefer LUKS. Hide It just seems to change the name of your file and copy it to an obscure location, but you can still find it with a file explorer. I didn't try the encryption but it looked to me like it would only encrypt individual file(s)?
With LUKS, you create a password-protected encrypted volume (can take a while) and then you mount it. Once the volume is mounted it looks like a regular folder. You can create whatever folders you want and just cut/paste any filetype into it. Encryption is on the fly so you don't need to encrypt/decrypt files. In any file explorer, browse to a file in the volume, double-click and the file opens....pictures, music, videos, spreadsheets, text files etc, all open transparently out of the mounted volume. When you dismount the volume you cannot see inside it.
Tried changing a name of an existing folder to .saved and the folder disappear completely ?? any reason why this happened?
And tried creating a new one with .pvt ,sadly this not work, ast the folder created cant be seen?anyone experienced this problem before?
Just to clear the matter, lady friend sent me a bikini photo, not porn or any sort but since the album shows all on the Z, had a lot people want to check my phone out scanning through my photos etc which made me wonder if there is an app to ensure privacy.
Hide It Pro works well Thanks guys!! :good:
Hi guyz!
I have a galaxy mini (stock)
My music player app (stock) does not get auto-updated and as you may know there is no way of refreshing the list or updating it manually.
Whenever I add or delete my songs in the device the music app does not show the added ones nor remove the deleted ones :banghead: :crying:
I have to play them all from my folder and they can't be played in background therefore causing me loads of problem
And the same goes with my picture gallery (gallery ics).
I have searched a lot for solutions but found none of them working except of ofcourse reflashing ..
But I don't want to reflash.
So plzzzzz if you guyz know any work around then tell me plz :crying:
Note: the songs and pics are in the external sd card..

Something wrong with the media scanner. I cannot point out what.....
I think its better you flash it.
Send from Batman's Bat- Phone
try this,
clear data and cache of the music app and gallery..
and from /sdcard/DCIM folder delete ".thumbnails" folder...
and then launch gallery..
it will take a bit more time to display all pics as it will generate thumbnails of all pics...

Open file manager and goto the folder where whatsapp images r stored and just creat a file name ".nomedia"

It's not possible, because Whatsapp triggers the internal media library. You could manually clean media storage and sony gallery data or use an alternative app.
I would recommend Quicpic for general pictures like DCIM and Sony Album for dirty Whatsapp Images

undisputedpro's method is better, creating a folder prevents media apps from scanning the contents with that folder present on same directory. I'm using this method since i always save pages with the UC Browser and its annoying to see that the images embedded on the page is being scanned by our phone, result is it is displayed on the Picture widget of our Home launchers and gallery apps.
Thanks for the tips.
I have this same problem with TomTom, despite all the folders have a nomedia file in them, the images still show up in album. However, the whatsapp sent folder, which also contains a nomedia file does not show up...
They broke my signature...
.nomedia file not supported by xperia sp

I use quickpic so .nomedia file works i dont use album for veiwing pics
The pictures, movies and sounds sent and recieved from whatsapp are stored in the internal SDcard in the folder Whatsapp. IF you place a .nomedia file do this in all the folders This helps for me
I second what @mrjraider had written.
The Xperia Album galery app does honor .nomedia files... but only if the .nomedia file is located on the same folder as the pictures. It will still scan subfolders underneath for pictures.
So, go to Whatsapp's Images folder (by default located in /storage/sdcard0/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Images ), and create a file named ".nomedia" (dot nomedia, without quotes) there. Inside that folder, there's a Sent subfolder. You might also want to create the ".nomedia" file there.
Do likewise for ther folders inside /storage/sdcard0/WhatsApp/Media, if necessary.
Don't forget to 'close' the Album app (tap "Recent Apps" button [the rightmost one] and swipe the "Album" app to the side), before opening it again.
You'll see that the Album app honors the .nomedia files.
.
so let me check if I got it right.
I have to create ".nomedia" FILE not FOLDER in the folder that contains the pictures I want Album app to not see.

Yes.
Also, clear cache on album and media scanner.

Use app published by me on Play Store
Forget the pain of manually doing it every time. Just use this app published by me on Play Store.
The app name is: Hide Whatsapp Media
Sorry, as i can't post a play store link as this is my first post on xda and xda doesn't allows posting url until you r done with 10 posts.
For reference, please check the attached screenshot and app icon image.

Guys is there any chance to edit manually artist artwork in Walkman? coz I can't find most of the Indian artist profile in automatic search... And also is it possible to introduce Tap to wake up screen feature in our Xperia z1?

1. You can install apps like cover art download or mp3 edit apps to fix album art. u can also find tons of such apps to fix music info
2. I dont think sony want us to have tap2wake. but if u really wanna get it, u can unlock bootloader and install this kernel
