So in short I have a couple of revealing pics of my girlfriend and a movie of her stripping, LOL... On my old phone I was able to make a folder, place a file in there called .no media and it would hide everything...
The .nomedia works for the pictures now but the one video still appears. How can I hide this as well?

Rename the extension of the video to something that isn't a video. e.g. .mpg to .bak
use root explorer to open when you want to watch -> open with certain app.
Yea no problem, I'll go ahead and send them right to you... Will the movie still work if I rename it to a .back file?

If you use vlc to open it, it should work

Apps use extensions to identify what files they should open, they do not mean that they can only open those files. So yes, just rename, open it with, and then pick your favorite video app.
I would like to know also. on the g3, i was able to lock the pictures/videos with a password. Im sure there are many apps that can do this, but which is the best?
Such a hassle. Renaming it didn't work I'm not sure why. I just deleted it. I see my girlfriend without clothes on enough anyways

It's not just you; it's one of the features that isn't here now. Remember this ROM was designed for an eReader (the great thing is, with all the development, it's easy to forget). There are a couple apps in the market that try to replicate copy/paste using OCR, they might be worth trying until we get a custom ROM.
We need a custom rom like yesterday!!

"jaydon34 We need a custom ronn like yesterday!! Sent from my book color using XDA App"
The above was copied and pasted from your post on my NookColor. It turned rom into ronn, but that can easily be corrected.
I got the Copy Paste It app from the market (on mine, I had to check the setting to rotate screen clockwise or it would rotate it). It keeps an option to open it in the notification bar. Click on it when you need it and copy the text you want (it processes it as an image and uses OCR text recognition). There's a trial version of the app.
Now there's no way to paste natively, so you're going to need to be using a keyboard with a paste function. I'm using SlideIT, which has an option to paste on the special characters layout. Press paste and it's there!
Obviously this is clunkier than Android copy/ paste, but it's a working solution while we're on the stock NookColor ROM.
How often do you guys use an app like APK Extractor? Often?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Never heard of it. What does it do?
If it's for sharing apps, theres always play store, you just send a link, paid apps check for play license anyway, so it's no use.
Not very regularly.Only when I need it I use it. But it is really a great app.
Close to daily. Then bluetooth it to my phone with ES File.
Sent from my Motorola XPRT
Is there a way to build the functionality of it into a ROM? Basically streamline the process of copying an app that you could then share. As an example; I use APK extractor to get an apk then send it to my phone or vice versa.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Don't use it personally as I can use ES to browse to the file and share it that way, but I could see it being useful.
I share apps if they are unsupported on a device because more than likely they work anyway.
*Sent from Nexus S*
I use es explorer in built app manager to make a backup of the app (which only copy the apk to a backup folder) then put it in a zip and send it over Bluetooth (the zip part is because some roms can't send or receive apk files on Bluetooth) the unzip it, install and profit

I don't like ES.
So don't jump ship because lots use it.
FX Filexplorer (NextGenApp) I think its called is BRILLIANT!!!
Also ROM Toolbox Pro is amazing. File browser, ad blocking, app manager (backup, restore, share, freeze, etc), cpu control, scripting, you name it, it's got it.

I haven't used root explorer in ages so it might have these included now.
I have file shares on my network and find es better to browse them say plex.
It also can give you direct folder access to drive, Dropbox, and box.net
I also have a private music server and es let's me ftp into and copy files over on the fly
There's probably a lot of other great apps that can do this I just never tried cause es always worked

I have tried ES before in my s3 and couldn't figure out how to access my SD card.
Also I know if you stick mp3 files on Google Drive, you can't download them. Is that possible through ES?

So I downloaded some wallpapers from my drop box and some music but it didn't do up in my gallery or my music in the player. I downloaded es file explorer and I could see them there but I can't seem to find them in the apps..anyone having this problem? And how could I fix
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
You could just move them with es file explorer in to another folder that the apps do see.
Tried that..still doesn't work
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Same issue happened to me bro. I had no idea how to fix it. No one knew how to fix it either. Hadto reset my phone and resetting with back up gives to same result. Had to use NO back up. Kept the media files though. Try going in to sdcard/android/data and see if there is a nomedia file in there. Delete if its present. Do it from the computer or enable hidden files in whatever file explorer you use. Report here if it works. I was never able to try it.

Ok so the pictures I figured out that you have to show all albums in the gallery..one downfall is that the gallery will show everything from drop box to Facebook..music I'm going to figure it

Just realized in the gallery app you can customize what the gallery shows..don't forget to hit all pictures

Well looks like you got an easy fix. wouldn't work for me. Mine just would not work. Whether I looked in all pictures or downloads they wouldn't appear. Quickpic could see them but not camera or gallery. Ah well doesn't do it anymore now. just hope it doesn't happen again and I have to reset once more.

This is not my app I had nothing to do with the development of this app. I simply found this a couple years ago and it used to work on my first RAZR and RAZR HD. So I figured what the hell let's try it. I'm on T-Mobile and have 2.5 gigs of wifi tether included in my account. I installed this and turned it on. And it works. I was and still am at 2.2 gigs used since I installed it and my son has been playing Forza Horizons thru XBox live on his 360. And the T-Mobile account app does not register any extra data used on the WiFi tether section. The Xbox even updated and the game did an update also.

Funny you should say that wase I just finished up rooting it finally (I have owned it for 8 days now jeez). Got my xposed going and the Dolby eq mod. Just triend an lg cam hack that worked beautifully but it must be outdated cuz it doesn't have uhd recording but man the pictures and videos it was taking make me wonder if it's not worth losing the fancy 4k shooting right now??

Installed perfectly pushing apks to system but that one feature was gone, I took pics in a room lit only by a tv and the hacked cam was actually visible, smooth, no stutter or blur. While the uhd kept trying to focus and if you read the mods op statement he upped all the fps and etcetera so that makes since. Hell I'm thinking bout going back to it now haha
so all you did was extract the camera.apk and put it in system, and change perms?
have you rebooted since, to make sure it still works?
That camera mod has a working ISO setting for the flex??

This part confuses me a little:
If you do not have a custom recovery on your device,
Extract the downloaded ZIP and copy the APK to phone.
Open Root Browser and go to system/app.
Find CameraApp.apk and CameraApp.odex and add a .bak extension to both of them.
Now copy the new CameraApp.apk to system/app folder. -
Here do we remove the .bak from the files we just copied over or leave it as is?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press and hold CameraApp.apk and select Permissions from the list of options.
Now set the permission to rw-r–r– (0644). For more details, read this guide.
Then reboot the phone.
When your LG boots up, you would be able to use the modded camera app on your phone.
leave them as is, in case you need to restore them if the replacement files arent working properly for you
the new files will have the extensions .apk, and .odex when you copy them over

I didn't have any issue just didn't stick with my laptop. carriers and manufactories have gotten smart. especially due to the amount of people that are modding their phones these days. just changing the "tether dun" or "tether provisioning". Now we have to deal with upsell URLs. That's when on their end they notice URLs coming thru our data that are not the same format/ signature that mobile devices use. and therefore our WiFi data usage may still increase. well there's a way around that too. It doesn't stick through boot either. But it will mask said URLs and prevent " up sell". From your phones dailpad dial 3845#*???# put in the 3 numbers of your variant. like mine is a d959 so I dial 3845#*959# once in the hidden service menu click settings then scroll down to "upsell URL" click it and select the option "TMUS hastetheringOPTIIN". AND DONT FORGET THE OTHER HACK CHANGing the 1 to a zero on the tethering in sqlite editor .

there are workarounds yes, but third party apps such as dropbox or google drive will not save to the external sdcard only to internal memory, esfile explorer works great to copy files to and from the external sdcard.
