About Nomedia

A tiny tool to hide multimedia files and prevent media scanning. Touch and hold the directory to toggle. Media library will not display the files in red colored folders.

The Android media scanner ignores folders containing an empty file named ".nomedia", using less time, battery and memory.
This app identifies folders, creates and deletes .nomedia files, refresh the media library and stops or restores the media scanning.

Usecases:
- show pictures to someone else and avoid that he can see some embarrassing
- filter undesired ringtones, music and other files used by some apps and games
- shorten the long media scanning triggered at boot when your phone is full of media files
- fix files disappearing from the media library but shown in a file manager

Features:
- list of all folders containing .nomedia files
- force scanning recursively
- recursive mark of subfolders is possible
- .noscanandnomtp files from CyanogenMod
- lightweight and minimalistic

Notes:
- rescan (toggle twice) for newly added files to hidden directories
- for some devices, can't write on external SD card

Really can't tell what it's doing after long pressing each music file or obb file and it just say "Job Working" but doesn't show anything and I mean nothing

The app works fine on the internal memory of my AndroidM device. Then if need be, I can take any file manager and copy or move the folder to the SD Card.

T70%
by T####:

There is no facility to create a .nomedia file, but the app does tell you that there in one in /sdcard/android/data so you can now use a file explorer to copy the file. On the plus side, this app does not display adverts.

This app doesn't appear to do anything on my Galaxy S7. There's no way to choose any options, just quick press to navigate directory and long press to... do something.

Comes with great idea but does not work on Lollipop. I need the noscanandnomtp and this is the only app offering it.

Works well for internal storage but not at all for sd card. It changes dir to red then change folder and back, and its undone. No word from developers.........?

Does what it says, no more, no less. Simple and intuitive interface. HOWEVER, it's broken on Kit Kat, and crashes whenever you long hold a folder. This is because it attempts to launch the media scanner, and third party apps may not do that in Kit Kat. I suspect that is a single line of code, so please fix soon.

Every thing works well and smoothly, Only One thing is really bad is the UI (User interface) just change the UI to UI like File Manager anyone of them would much and please once i open the App just directly open the Mount Drivers (Sdcard, External Sd, USB ... etc) No Need for all android directory ..

I think its only con is that it will not request root access, so if "media" is scanning files in /system or other directories this app cannot help.

C70%
by C####:

After upgrade to lollipop, this application still cannot write to sd card while other third-party applications can..

It could use some updating, especially aesthetically, but it gets the job done; I'd recommend it. Also, it'd be great if it ran a quick tutorial on initial launch, so you don't have to figure out how to use it.

Thanks! I use it often.

Would be 5 stars if app could actually place and remove .nomedia files. Currently it acts like it does but revisiting the same directory shows it did nothing.

C70%
by C####:

All the folders where I want to put the .nomedia file all "already caching"... So what to do?

C70%

Just says currently caching.

Very efficient and so small!

This app did the job perfectly on my SGS4. I sort my mp3's into folders for albums, and each album cover has a jpg in the folder along side the music. This app helped me clean up my photo gallery so I didn't have dozens of different "galleries" containing one photo each. It's back down to just the camera gallery and whatsapp gallery. Much more manageable.

Works very well on my Galaxy Nexus
