[Q] Password protect pictures - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an HTC EVO and I would like to password protect or hide a couple of picture folders that I created. Any help in this topic will be of great help.

hmmmm, what kind of pictures could you be hiding? please post.

The kind I don't want anyone to see but me, maybe some day I'll post. Thank you I'll check it out.

All I have to say:

I use an app called File Copy
It is in the market it is discreet and cheap.
You can hide videos and pictures. I have never had a problem with it.

Just put them in a folder with a '.' before the foldername. In this case, it would be under .dirtyPics
Your gallery should ignore them then, the only way to find them is through file manager/astro. If you're using CM, then in file manager hit menu > exclude from media scan.

I use Photo Vault. Works perfect

Who the hell added those tags? please remove those

Hide it pro works. And it's nifty. Couple that with quick pic and you're all set.

The best way to prevent naked pictures of yourself from getting out is to not take naked pictures of yourself.

I just got a serious lawl from reading those.

Hide it pro. You can hide pictures, videos, apps and others. Shows on your app list as an audio manager. I sometimes use the audio manager feature only for the quick access to volume controls. Plus its free.

What's new:
- A "carousel" user interface that allows users to flip through featured apps.

- A unified app details page that eliminates the need to interact with tabs.
- Content ratings for applications
- A reduced refund window of only fifteen minutes.

Dont like the new market. The green **** (yes.) takes half of the screen space on a 800x480 device that's just dumb. Prolly pushed by publishers in the "featured" who pay money to get there or something.
Descriptions are halved because this green stuff takes all the space. comments, same. List, same.

Very cool. Thanks!
Installed, went to set up profile, program force-closes every time I click "edit name." As much as I like Grindr, I think I'm going to uninstall this.
[before anyone asks, I did fix permissions and restart the phone.]
J~
is this what i think it is?
If it doesn't force close, it just says there's an error.
Ahaha, just what I needed. Not! Lol I should prob Google a app first before blindly downloading

Yes it is, there a problem sir? :]
I've been running this for a couple of weeks. I have the same bug in that I can't edit any of the free text to add a name, headline etc. Chat and pics seem to work ok though. I have a funny feeling that grindr are trying to censor information about this alpha as nothing seems to show up about it on twitter etc.
Does anyone know - or can anyone find out where the settings are stored for profile - are they on the phone or on the grindr server? If on the phone perhaps a config file could be hacked.
When it doesn't force close, I can't get it to even sign on to their network. I'll have to stick with scruff for now
I have a feeling settings are stored on their server, since they were working on letting you use the same profile on multiple devices.

[Q] How to hide the side-bar in the Gallery?

Is there a way to hide the sidebar of the Gallery when you are browsing pictures in the Album?

No. You have to use quickpic. But you loose the air view functionality. ..

Bummer ! I enjoy moving pictures easily between Albums in the stock Gallery. Maybe they need to have this functionality in the next upgrade.
I wonder if if anyone is seeing a bug similar to what I'm seeing. On this same gallery side bar when I attempt to scroll up and down the list keeps resetting itself back to the last selected folder. If I'm doing something wrong then please tell me as this is very frustrating!
Swipe left and the sidebar will be hidden. Dunno if that is a new addition or not.
I did not know that thank you.
Neither did I til last night. Just happened to slide my finger left and the sidebar disappeared. I wonder what other stuff I can do that I don't know about yet
swipe left doesnt work foe me

It doesn't work for me either.
nor myself. I wonder if Chrissss isn't getting confused with the multi tasking side bar menu??

It's work fine for me: Good:
How do you get it back? I actually liked the gallery side bar
It worked for me. I wonder why it only works for some and not for others.
It sounds like it. Swiping to the left does not restore the album sidebar I want too.
It works. Just needs a little practice.
Swipe on entire screen to the left to hide it.
Swipe similarly to the right to bring it back.

[Q] Does the Note II's double panel view work with any given app?

Hi!
The title says it all, I'm interested if the Note II can handle any app in double panel view.
I use computer almost never, and having a smartphone which could view any 2 apps at a time would be so good and would be a great next phone I'll buy.
Thanks for your answers already!
Not stock. Only a handful of apps will work in multi view.
But there is a mod in dev section that allows any app to run in multiview

Only certain stock apps are available in the Multi window by default. If you need to add your own apps, there are a few methods, or you can flash a ROM that already have this feature built-in
So far, the easiest is this one, you just need to find the item name of the apps you wish to add, and use the webtool to generate a zip file to flash into your Note II (You need to be rooted)
Here's how mine looks like once I added apps that I want :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do remember to do the necessary backups before proceeding further.
Hope this helps!
Ok, thanks for your replies. At this time I wasn't able to find the mod kylec mentioned about, and the manual method looks pretty creepy, but I'll look into it later, when I actually have the device with me. It was a big relievement to know that there is at least some way to double-panel all apps. It's sad how Samsung doesn't give us the device's full potential by standard.
Remind that even u flash unlimited multi window mod , it wont be easy to use, many apps will be stretched strangly.

Homework task list

hey guys, i wanna know if anyone knows a good to do list or task list or whatever you wanna call it, for keeping in track of doing my homework. i want an app thats simple and quick, and have a nice Holo themed UI(optional), and also just work well in jotting down my homework assingments. Cos i really dont like carrying a planner around and using it is really boring and jus wastes time, as I use my phone for everything I want to keep my homework assingments on my phone too, so everything is organised and in one place and it'll be easy and quick to check my homework on my phone.
