Hello,
Can anybody tell me how i can exclude some folders which contain images from showing up in my Album ?
i found a few replies regarding this in other forums but none of them worked and I tried asking in talk.sonymobile.com but it was useless.
I tried the .nomedia file creation method, Quickpic method and adding dot to the folder name method.
I tried all those methods to prevent the pics that i get via whatsapp from not being shown in my album. As you may know the pics that we download via whatsapp gets stored inside "Whatsapp images" folder.
I tried to put a blank .nomedia file into the folders and then cleared cache and data of both Album app and Media storage. Then after doing all that i rebooted my phone. I can still see the pictures in there in my Album app once i add a new pic into the folder.
Am running .253
i would really appreciate it if anybody could help me out :angel:
I am 100% positive that there are many people who would love to have a solution for this.
If you need anymore info then do please let me know.

the .nomedia way worked for me. but the trick is cleaning data and cache of the media server/media storage (don't know the exact name at the moment) in settings->apps, and then restarting the phone.
after a restart, album will be empty and start rescanning your storage. when finished, you'll see that there won't be the .nomedia folders included anymore.
Hi, i have a lot of old files that i transfered to my note 5 but nothing shows in the stock gallery, only new videos or photos, didnt had that problem with note4, any solution?
Tnx
Try using a file Explorer and moving files that aren't detected to a new folder on the phone and restart ...it might help... but if u are talking about pics from whatsapp or something it might not work.. I have no idea why

well i found the problem....i had a .nomedia folder in the internal memory, in the root entry and that bloqued all media scanning.
I have sony Xperia Z1 with stock rom and xposed flash. Obviously rooted too. If i have missed anything, you can ask me in the comments section
I have flashed zrcam but when I click pictures, they are very huge. I do not have any problem with it being captured as i can delete them but what makes me worried, is that two thumbnail files have being created in my thumbnails folder which is currently taking up 2.69 and 2.68gb of my storage each. One of the file name is .thumbdata3-1763508120.
I have tried deleting these files but they appear back again or my camera stops working. I rebooted the phone several times and the camera started working with those massive files appearing back again. Also i have tried deleting pictures in those thumbnail folder but the size of the thumbnail file doesn't decrease. Pictures taken from my phone are saved in sd card and these stupid files are in the internal memory .
My question is, is there any way i could delete this file or i could delete the zrcam? Where can i get the stock camera app to flash. Sorry but i didn't back it up. I never knew i would face this issue. Please if anyone could help me that would be great!
Thanks a lot!

Yaa. I thought you became angry.
I have disabled the album app and then deleted those files but after sometime the files appear back again, the gallery app being already disabled. And i do not even have gbs of pictures. It can be 1gb total, maybe! Why are these files so big??

I have tried this trick by creating a file of the same name but that stopped my camera app. The app started crashing, so i rebooted back again and it was fine but on the other hand, the files came back again too, lol

I have lost all sensor calibration files and reg files for all sensors, screen, sound, rotate, brightness ect.
Can someone with a 4xl and a root explorer please go to /mnt/vendor/persist .
Please archive the directory in .tar or zip, twrp backup.
There have been a few requests on the 4XL forum for the files or for persist.img if you're able to /dd it.
I cannot find them for the Pixel 4XL anywhere.
I know which files to skip when replacing and have a backup, I take full responsibility.
Attach the file to a reply it's small enough when archived.
You would be helping me and others out, judging from search.
Thanks.

To clear up any confusion the symptoms are all sensors stop working not one or two.
The IMEI is not lost or changed with this method nor any MAC addresses on the "Google Pixel 4 XL".
I managed to fix all sensors failed with another users persist backup from a .zip file.
You should check the attachment file verses your current Persist, if you have all the files excluding the duplicate data folders don't even bother Instead start at the factory image install, relock boot loader stage.
Check it's not a software problem before doing this.
Get sensor toolbox.apk and check there is no data output from the sensors first.
If you are going to try this before you start back up all the files in /mnt/vendor/persist to a .tar file.
There is a camera certificate in camera directory that is unique to your camera module if you lose that you cannot use face unlock ever again. Same if you replace the hardware.
I had to manually restore all permissions because they were not in .tar format I've attached the fixed persist.tar.
I performed all operations from lineage 19.1 with magisk 25.1 full root and used mixplorer.apk root enabled.
Some steps may not be necessary.
Copy the files you need across from a root browser, if any duplicate files & folders are in there don't replace them merge and skip duplicate files instead.
There is a folder in the data directory named something like (DdHdVQd1FIOARksZgXG27GJ1A5UjYCGhP-ZoGvseqsY_)
I copied all files in each folder to all the others, so every folder had the same number of files in. (if they already exist then skip them.)
Install a stock factory image it should be a version below the latest OTA so A12 factory image- to A13 OTA. (I used A12 -coral-sq3a.220605.009.a1)
I then relocked the boot loader, disabled OEM unlocking, added an account to the phone on the phone setup dialogue and added a pin.
I let it update the apps made sure it was listed as my device in security settings and checked safety net all pass.
Tried face unlock(failed), started wallet setup then stopped at add card.
Rebooted a few times in between app updates then allowed the OTA to A13 install. (it was slow to finish install)
Then on first reboot it got into OS and said finishing setup let it finish then rebooted again and BishBashBosh all sensors functional.
It's might be titan security chip anti tamper or qualcomm chain of trust?
If you want to understand how this can be triggered with all files still intact and why replacing them won't instantly work check NPJOHNSON's excellent article.

Thanks to YKS_Gaming for providing a copy of Persist for the Pixel 4XL.
I hope this helps someone else.
doesnt the factory images contain the files?
i can give you the files but i dont know if it is safe to do it or not (what information does it provide, etc. im not familiar with these kind of stuff)

Thank you so much.
As for your concerns, official updates have broken sensors before and users have shared these files with no consequences to the author.
See this thread as an example.
FIXED - Android 10 - Sensors Bug
EDIT 5 In addition to the two methods highlighted below, I'm sharing a third method which was brought up in the thread. This one is much easier, however, root is required. This method works for many, however, it is not confirmed by me. Again, no...
