I removed mine completely, and have for the past few roms I flashed. I prefer to use AntTek App Manager Root for my freezing and removing needs...

I guess this question is sort of related to this so I'll ask it here. In Gallery is there any way that anyone knows of to NOT display every single folder that has an image in it? It's a little annoying going to the gallery and having folders for music album folders, certain apps, themes etc. I just want to see what in my DCIM folder and sub folders

In the folder you wish to hide, create a .nomedia file in it. That will hide the folder from appearing in gallery.
So I have root explorer, but where do I go to to delete Gallery?
/system/app/Gallery3D.apk

I do that and it tells me,
"Gallery3D.apk cannot be deleted because the files system is read only."
I am running Random Rom Osprey, with EG22.

Like my title states...the one reason I love the MIUI rom is because of the folders. Is there any APK or any way we can get that on another rom? The MIUI rom has certain issues that I do not like to deal with. Thanks.
I believe astro file viewer allows you to classify your apps and make folders on your homescreens. It even allows you to pick the icons for each folder. It's free in the market.

Hi!
Dedicate Android media scanning only to selected folders, for example "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Music/"... is there an app for that?
greetings
Good idea, we need such a thing. Scanning of large space is really a long lasting thing.
I looked once on the market and found something like that, but i don;t remember the name. I use the .nomedia method. In each folder you want to be avoided scan, create an empty file with the name .nomedia; that's all
Just create a file named ".nomedia" in the folders you want to skip ;-)

Hi guys,
Is it now possible to create albums and sort pictures in the new ICS gallery? I don't think this was possible on gingerbread

Edit: if you meant within the actual gallery then no

And/or (if you have it set up to sync) you can control it in Picasa. But that is dependent upon having sync turned on, it is after-the-fact and requires a computer/regular internet, and does not "re-route" new pictures from the "Camera" folder.

Sometimes when I do this, especially when I move pictures around existing albums it doesn't refresh immediately. Any way to force a rescan of the media? Deleting the cache does not seem to always work

Try that to manually rescan the media. It works....sometimes. heh.
Quick Question...why do picture hide, picture vault, apps...need all those permissions?? I dont understand why they need internet access to hide pictures..anyone has an explanation? Thanks!!
If you need to hide your pr0n, you don't need those apps. Using a file manager such as ES File Explorer, create a new folder with a "." in front of it (Ex. ".Pictures"). The phone doesn't search for media in folders with a "." in front of their name. I think for ES File Explorer, you'll have to go into the settings so you can view all the folders with a "."

I believe that creating a .nomedia file in what ever folder you don't want to be scanned will do the trick also
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
You hide & secure folders with QuickPic.
It works. Like a charm. The stock my files.apk Will work also. You have to go into settings and click hidden files. And there you be. And the best part is. Most people are not tech savy so they don't know about it. I named mine. Binary. Lol

I'm not finding any way to make adjustments and looks like the app picks up anything with an image. For example, I see some albums showing up in the folders because of cover art
Add a file named .nomedia to that folder and refresh the Gallery. It should disappear.
