Help for hide gallery and videoplayer

I want to hide Gallery and videoplayer from application menu.It shows all my private images and videos.If it is possible please give suggestion.Thanks in advance.

get app protect, setup a password for your apps

I tried that also.thank you for your reply.

Why not just put a full stop in front of the folder you have your things in for example .porn you will have to do this with the in built my files program then they won't show in the gallery but you can view them using the same program my files, or if you want them in the gallery for a short time remove the full stop and they will appear.

Or u can put .nomedia file to the folder and the content from this folder will not show in gallery

or simply stop making some amateur porn

If you want to "hide" some medias (photos, vidéos), just create an empty file called: ".nomedia" in the folder you don't want in your Gallery/Video/... app.

Thanks
Thank you for all for the wonder full replies.

Overdrive and checking out books from local library

Hi folks
So I am running a rooted Nook Color (thank you Autonooter!)
I have installed Overdrive both via the Android Market and also via the local library site in case there was a weird version issue. When I click to download an epub book from my library the browser instead of invoking Overdrive to download the book displays the URN information for the book download. There seems to be no way to get books downloaded. I tried making the default browser the Nook one vs using Dolphin HD but the same occurs.
I installed the same config on my Droid X and Overdrive kicked in and downloaded the book.
Anyone else tried checking out books via their library and had any success. I wonder if this is an issue due to rooting but wanted to get some feedback before resorting to going all the way back to stock (I just got this thing configured how I wanted it too!)
Thanks for any insight!

I am a heavy overdrive user for both epub books and audio books.
I can download epub books to my android phone just fine, but i have to download the books to my nook via Adobe digital editions on my laptop.
They show up under My Files in the NC library.
Make sure to register your adobe de onlineon your PC and on your NC.
Please post if you need further help.

It Works...
The text stuff that you see is the text of the associated ascm file in Overdrive. Do the following:
I am using the following method on a rooted NC and using either Aldiko or Overdrive Media Console with no probs whatsoever. I use these because I like to read my epubs in landscape mode and for some totally inexplicable reason the BN reader can't do this!
You must have Astro File Manager installed (free in the Market). Astro allows you to add new file extensions by the following preferences:
Astro settings>Data>Edit File Extensions>New
Extension Name: epub (no period)
MIME Type: application
Subtype: epub
Then Save
Now when you double-click on the ebook file it will ask for whatever reading program you want to use to read, i.e., the reading app that is on your Nook Color. If you have Desktop Visualizer installed (also free in the Market) you can even make a shortcut for your book on your [rooted] Home Screen, e.g., I am using Zeam launcher for my home screen.

That sounded promising but it looks like I am just getting the URN/URL for the eBook and not the actual file downloading so the association does not seem to work. I currently have the default browser set rather than Dolphin but both behaved in the same manner.
Any other ideas? Am I missing something else.
Thanks for the response I'm really looking forward to getting this working!
EDIT: I also rebooted afterwards in case it needed a fresh boot for the new extension

In the text/ address that I see when clicking download the book I saw application/epub+zip so I tried editing the epub extension via Astaro to try that vs just application/epub
Did not make a difference. Agh!
I wish I could cut and paste the screen/text to better show what I am getting.

In the browser (I use Dolphin) go to "More>Save Page or Save" and save the text - then click on it w/Astro. You want to save the actual text, not the URL

IYep, that worked for me. The only hang up left for me is the fact that books downloaded directly to the NC can't be read with the book's reading app. It does not recognize the drm like it does if they are sideloaded from a PC running adobe digital editions. Can that be corrected?

Ok got the epub files working but via adding another extension type of ascm so that this kicked in the Overdrive application. I then tried to download a drm'd PDF file as the other book I wanted happened to be in this format- this one fails as Overdrive says it cannot open/read the PDF file format.
Man this seems to be a very haphazzard way to get at content - I am a PC tech so wonder what chance Joe Public stands!!
Thanks for the extensions pointer that's got me almost there!

Can somebody please help me with setting up overdrive to associate with ACSM files? I installed Astro File Manager, but what do I choose for subtype and type?
I still can't het my library books to work with overdrive. I have overdrive installed. I have it authorized for Adobe Digital Editions. When I go download a book from my local library, I get a text file in my browser. I have saved it, and it has extension acsm, but I can't seem to be able to do anything with it.
Please help!
Thanks!

I fixed my problem (partially). I deleted the acsm file assocation I had entered in Astro File Manager. Next time I clicked on a downloaded acsm file, Overdrive Media was launched and it worked.
The only issue now is: how come I cannot launch overdrive media from the browser (stock, or Dolphin HD), when I click on an acsm file download link?
As it stands, I have to download the acsm file (save it), and then open it in Astro.

[Q] Shortcuts possible to sdcard2?

Hi, I'm running Vegan 5.1 on Gtab. I know I can put shortcuts on the desktop but that isn't what Im trying to do. For instance I want to use a audio or video player that searches by default for files in folders on sdcard such as audio or video. When the program searches /sdcard/video I would like to redirect it to /sdcard2/video. Wouldn't a shortcut in one directory redirect to another location and be "visible" to the host program? I'm trying to get audio and video players to find sdcard2. If a shortcut existed to the directory or file itself wouldn't that work? Looking around I don't see much about this, and it may not be possible with android. The only information I see is about shortcuts on the desktop. Any ideas? Thanks.

Try this- ../sdcard2/(target directory)

Thanks, but I don't understand how to apply this. Lets say I have a video file at /sdcard2/video/movie.mp4. If I could make a shortcut to the movie.mp4 file and place it in /sdcard/video, then movie player program would be able to see it. Since I can't change the path for the movie player to search, I'm going to have to bring the files to where they can be found. I want to use sdcard2 for multimedia storage and put shortcuts to video and music on internal sdcard. I can mke shortcuts to the desktop all day long, but I can't find how to move them into a different folder. Also I don't know where the desktop folder, if indeed there is such a folder is located. If I could find the desktop folder I could copy or move the shortcut from there. Like I say, this may not even be possible.

you can always use astro file manager to open the video/audio file. i have the same problem opening videos that only vital player recognizes, but it only gives the option to sdcard not sdcard2 or usb. so i search for the file in astro and open with vital.

I know this is an old thread, but here's what I have been doing in VEGAn 5.11.
Make a directory called sdcard2 in /mnt/sdcard -- you can do this with a file manager or in the shell. You only have to do this once
Open a shell.
Enter:
su
First time you do this you'll have to acknowledge root. If you tell it to remember, you won't have to do it again.
Type
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2
That's it. Now you will have an sdcard2 folder nested in the sdcard folder. The only problem is it won't survive a reboot. I was looking for /etc/fstab to do this permanently but there is only a vold.fstab file so not sure if that will work or not. Need to try it and see I suppose.

I actually have a few movies saved in SD card 2 I long press chose shortcuts, astro,scroll to SD card2 and choose the movie witch puts it on my homescreen I then put them all in a movie folder on the homescreen... hope that helps.. I'm running tnt lite 4.3

nice tip about the shortcuts. however, it doesn't work if you have an application that only works with the sd card
besides, I can imagine wanting to start other things like sshd

One other thing I've noticed. If you do the bind mount (https://market.android.com/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager looks like it would be good for doing this on boot, btw) then putting the tablet in USB file transfer mode just spins forever. Well maybe it just takes a long time searching sdcard2 but I finally cancelled it. The solution is:
umount /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2
Then do the USB operation.

[Q] unknown error downloading epub to dropbox app

I tried to send an epub through Gmail to my Zoom and the attachment wasnt recognized. I have the Kindle, Reader, Google Books and FBReader apps installed. (Gmail did recognize it on my desktop computer.)
Any help?
I tried uploading the same epub file to my drop box, it seems to be in the list of books, but when I select the book it says there is an unknown error downloading epub to dropbox.
Any help?

hmmmmm, dropbox creates a folder on your device titled dropbox.
Use a file navigator (Linda/Astro etc) to navigate to the folder and see if it's there. I normally use this method as on my xoom for epubs, no idea why the normal UI method fails, annoying though.

Using File Manager?

So I was using Craig's list on chrome and when I try to upload a picture it brings up a prompt to select how to find the picture. It gives me Camera, Video Recorder, Sound recorder and Documents. How can I change it so I can use es file manager or something similar? I'm running cm11.
Thanks in advanced.

Why not use one of the Craigslist apps and choose gallery which show all pics on your storage.
