    I suspect you're not comfortable with the commandline, so:

    Get a decent file manager such as CuteExplorer

    Rename the folder containing the files to start with a . For example, change folder to .folder

    Your folder is now hidden.

    To see it again, navigate to the folder containing .folder and from the top menu select "Show hidden". Open the folder and open the files from there, or rename the folder to unhide it, wait for tracker to reindex the files and view from Photos/Media Player as normal.

    make a folder called Private in MyDocs. it has to have a capital P. then just move the videos to there and they should be hidden
    but make sure that their only location is the Private folder.

    Use the above method with the dot.folder to hide it in the build-in HildonFileManager, but also use trackercfg from the extras repository to hide the folder from trackerd, which listseach and every file on your MyDocs and external microSD.

    if you really want to hide something, use truecrypt, and then do a mount script to easily mount the hidden volume when needed.

    this is what i do to store my bank one time pads on device.

    This solution is a little bit too geeky for me.

    Try posting a clear description of what happens when you try to follow the instructions already posted in this thread.

    How can we help you hide your pr0n if we don't know what issue you're experiencing?

    all this confusion over nothing???

    rename whatever you want to hide to add a "." in front of it
    e.g. porn.flv needs to be called .porn.flv

    the command to do this is

    mv porn.flv .porn.flv

    it works on any file
    then to see hidden files/folders run

    ls -a
