Got some naughty photos you don't want people to see in the Gallery app? You can hide the folder but keep the pictures on the device using this trick.

  • Alternatively, you can place a file named ".nomedia" in the folder and it won't show up in the gallery. This works for application support folders which you cannot safely rename, but contain images. For example, the ESPN Scorecenter app writes a bunch of team logo images to /sdcard/com.espn.score_center. Placing ".nomedia" in this folder hides images from it and all subfolders.

  • The dislike came from the dudes who's girl found his dirty pics anyway.Lol

  • yeah umm i tried doing that and when i renamed the file and put the dot the folder disappeared and know i cant find it.....

  • Am i the only one wit photos of their dick?

  • Did you try this and then your file mysteriously disappeared like what happened to mister top comment up there? Fix: 1. Go into Astro app then file manager. 2. Once inside, notice the cool eye at the top? The fourth square? Click it!. 3. A mini window should come out of the retina. Click the bottom where it says "Directory Options". Then, FINALLY. . . #4. Click the check box next to "Show Hidden Folders" and click "Apply". -- You should be able to locate your Naughty Folder now.
