Hey! Is there a way to change the default location of the screenshot? I can't use Google photos properly like this, it keeps on sync my screenshot folder.
Tnx.
Screenshot location can vary. For me it's Pictures/Screenshots. I can (and have) disallowed Google Photos from syncing that folder. Where do your screenshots go?
It's going to DCIM/screenshot.
And Google automatically backup this entire folder so, it's a problem for me.

Make a file called .nomedia in the Screenshot folder and sync will ignore it. It will also mean it won't show up in gallery apps.

Did not work, I have created a new folder named .nomedia and the gallery is still showing it.

A file, not a folder. Inside the screenshots folder make a file called .nomedia.
It's a built in method in Android to exclude folder contents from certain apps.

Yeah had to download a new file manager to craft a file, but unfortunately the Google photos is still showing and backup my screenshot, even tho the gallery isn't showing them.

Works fine for me. I made a new folder in DCIM, created the .nomedia file, then copy/pasted in some random pics. Google Photos doesn't see the folder at all.

So you have root? Maybe it's connected to it, this is so weird
You can try pinsyncScreenshot app from play store
Did you resolve this? I have the same issue with my POCO F1 and it's driving me nuts

Sad to say, but I solved it using "Auto File transfer Lite" (Search at google play)
It's not the best solution, but at least is an acceptable workaround IMHO.
Just hope some day Google allows to select DCIM subfolders to sync or Xiaomi to change screenshot folder destination.
Screenshots not showing in gallery
I faced an issue of , screenshots not saving in screenshot folder.but after deleting ' .nomedia ' file from the file manager i could now see the screenshots in my gallery
Guys! U can do one thing. I am also a xiomi user. Move the screenshot folder from DCIM and transfer it to another place. Then u can back up on google photos. It will only contain CAMERA folder images

If your talking about pictures that you only want viewable in something like "Astro File Manager" you could put a dot in front of the folder in question.
For example, for the pictures I have of my GF, i hide it by naming the folder ".GF" and it wont show in Gallery at all... but if you use a file browser like Astro you can view the files by going into the folder.
In Linux, a dot before the name of the folder usually means a hidden folder, hence thats why gallery won't pick it up then.
ive added dots to the beginning of some of the folder, but they are still appearing in the gallery

connet your phone to your computer, go to the file you don't want pic, music or whatever from create a new txt file open it, save as name nomedia change file type ot all files remove the .txt extention and then delete the first .txt file..

ok i didnt understand all of what you said but i will try
ok that didnt work either. i think its because the images i am trying to hide are in a .zip file. for example the themes that you can download for lock 2.0 and weather widgets donate. anyone know how to hide these images?
so none has a solution to this problem?

If you wana hide pic, you can use advanced launcher to just hide the gallery. Images in a zip should not come up in your gallery unless the zip was extracted. I think you my have images in your "download" folder. Just move them somewhere else and they shouldn't come up anymore

Try deleting the cache from the Media Storage app and rebooting. Alternatively you can download any number of apps from Google Play to hide files and folders.

I figure out the root to the problem some people are having with new 4.2.2 zoe themes giving them the error :
"unable to create video because there is a problem with the original media files"
The audio files that zoe uses for some random reason are messed up for the new themes. They have a file size of 9 bytes when there are normally 1.05 mb. So i replaced music_atlantis.mp3 (one of the new themes) with another mp3 files that also lasted 32 seconds, and changed the name of it music_atlantis.mp3 . When i went to zoe the theme worked but of course with a different audio.
If one of you guys that have all themes working could be kind to upload those audio files it would be great I'm sure I am not the only one having that problem.
this is the location : /sdcard/Android/data/com.htczeroediting/files/zeroeditor/resources/music
I uploaded two screenshots one with the error and the other with the files i believe need to be overwritten with the correct ones. Thanks
Hi, go into the 'Android/Data/com.htc.zeroediting/files/zero_editor/resources/' folder and rename the 'music' folder to something different and then try the new highlights again and it will recreate a new music folder with all the new highlights working, then you can go back and delete the old music folder.

beautiful fix... now I don't really want to erase my entire SD card anymore... lol Moved everything else over so it should be fine... hopefully lol
When I change the name of the music folder, it does create anther folder titled "music", but still has the same corrupt .mp3 files in it. Only six of the files work, the others are 9 or 10 bytes.
I'm on 4.1.2, and these files seem to be included also.
I actually landed here after tracking down a mediaserver wakelock issue I'm having. Turns out the .mp3s being used for highlights might be the culprit, but I can't seem to fix them or delete them without them being recreated when I watch a highlight reel. Even if I just delete the corrupt files, they are recreated when I load a highlight reel up.
I'll upload the folder that I have for music just overwrite it and see if it helps

there are the audio files that should be inside that music folder. just download them all and save them inside that folder so you overwrite the others. By the way these include the audio files for the new themes as well in case anyone else needs them.

Thanks for the help. It looks like a few of the files you provided are still not the right size (music_brooksburg.mp3, music_fields.mp3, and music_monterey.mp3).
I copied it all over regardless, but there's still only six options showing up in the highlight reel (Polaris, Avalon, Vega, Eifel, Burbia, Islandia). Maybe the option will only appear in 4.2.2?
I checked the files after using the highlight reel and the system didn't change any of the mp3's I copied over, so there's that.
I'm more concerned with getting the files right to help with wakelock, even though I'm not sure this is culprit.
Yea the new themes you'll need 4.2.2 . And yes those 3 are still only 9bytes . But they are not themes so they are not used therefor they shouldnt be giving you problems

Thanks very much
Has anybody created custom themes yet? Wondering if there is a forum/thread dedicated to custom highlight videos. It'd be great to have a community of themes/music to share to add a little variety to the HTC One's highlight videos.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Highlights worked--I think???--before activating my phone. But once the Carrier package was installed (Sprint) this feature only had the hangouts "Pop" file.
I had written to a friend who reviewed the One for PC Magazine and HTC but never got any response for getting these files. I really appreciate this rollsrd!

I tried the renaming Music folder trick. It did not work until I shutdown gallery and then reopened. Probably obvious, but just thought I'd mention it.
Renaming the folder did the trick for me also.
Your dropbox isnt working. Can you please reload? :fingers-crossed:
I'm uploading them again for you. But this time I also added the ones from sense 5.5 . Just make sure you get only those you need they should take a fe minutes to complete but not too long

These is file ".nomedia".
Aha ok. I think an app created the folder with the .nomedia file. The .nomedia file hides for example pictures in gallery app.
what application that creates it?
I have it as well. Which app is it?
I have it too! Dont know from where its come
I have similar folder and i found that "Office suite" create it.
I have it too in my SD! :S:S:S

Every android update we are getting an extra folder lol
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!
The .nomedia file that is usually created to hide media (audio/video) is a zero byte file. This OTOH, is an 80 byte file with some gibberish that appears to be encoded in various languages. Definitely a marker file from some malicious programme. Could be even towelroot!
Here's the text from the .nomedia file copied from es file explorer text editor:
ĄЏ우굏庙낉࿊袞၆
Yes, But, Why, And Why Now...
Just got this folder with cryptic extension .eCtcQjbu1dgnvtFnvnr6yepTp1M= an hour ago, with its 1 KB .nomedia file (*), when I resumed my tablet on the PC USB (99% held ok for 9 hours),
BUT—Windows (7) also complained that the external sdcard (the location of said) needed to be scanned...which...was also all okay (after a lengthy scan time on 16 GB)...
I have the uptodate OfficeSuite 7 (com.mobisystems.office version 7.5.2129; USB storage in use by the PC), as well as the oem OfficeSuite (ver 1.5.290; enabled but never used)...
(N.B. Sometimes when I turn On the USB storage the estrongs file manager app will complain.)

Did you ever figure this out for sure? I am curious what made you think it might be towelroot? I used that APK but it is not on my system anymore and I just had another strange directory appear with naming similar to the ones in this thread.
I do not have the office application or others mentioned in this thread so that rules those out.
I can tell you that the directory name is clearly Base64 encoded. It decodes to more characters but I don't know their meaning yet (looks like gibberish/random).
In the last month the directory has appeared twice on my internal storage and SD card in the root. Both times I deleted it along with the .nomedia file that was 80 bytes.
One other detail... I noticed most threads about this topic are related to Xperia phones but I happen to have a Samsung Galaxy S4.
Yup. I transfer files between my devices, and I had this folder on both of my nexus (Nexi?) N7 and N10! This Folder on. Dell 7 disappeared: after reflash using mykit_batch. Surprisingly, after formatting and reinstalling from flashtool, both XZ are clean now.... go figure!
Edit...
This is the nomedia text from my N10
ｸｸ誣ｺｾﾙ_}－橸2掛ｱﾓﾇ｣ﾅZtﾂﾏｽﾕ��
j"zﾙｭﾂﾚc[k｢�絵4─Lﾕ"ﾍ!殼�6ﾈｯ�閭堕ﾜ�jIn*
Dead Cookies leave no trails...
Finally. I solved what caused these strange directories and files for me.
In my case it wasn't the transfer of files. It was a an app. Others had mentioned OfficeSuite caused it and I found out they were right, but I didn't have OfficeSuite which confused me.
I found out I had the Oxford English Dictionary which was from the same company as OfficeSuite.
Every time I started the app it would re-create the folder and .nomedia files.
My phone is rooted so I did a little more looking in to it and there is a file in the application's directory under /data/data/<appname>
So in my case it was:
/data/data/com.mobisystems.msdict.embedded.wireless.oxford.dictionaryofenglish.full/
Under that folder there is another folder called "files" which contains a strange file called ".mssnDatabase2". If you notice the file is 80 bytes in size. It happens to contain the exact same data as the .nomedia files that are created.
So that's how I figured out what was creating the strange folders for me. I hope that helps others.
BTW, the application (the dictionary) in my case appears to send the company quite a bit of info they don't need so I uninstalled it. You might want to check yours too.
I have this .eCtcQjbu1dgnvtFnvnr6yepTp1M= folder too with inside a .nomedia file
I dont know which app created it but i think it is office suite because i installed it and few others apk. However if i delete it after some time it come back.
Just to say
An OfficeSuite folder. A genius way to name it, whatever the dev was smoking.

Hi, I am running EU version and I just notice that I cannot delete all the images file the DCIM folder nor on the Screenshot folder.
I can delete any file on the other folder but not on the DCIM folder. Can any of you test if you have the same problem as mine? If not then I'm gonna try to reset my phone.
