Hi Friends ,
Is there any way to lock synced folders from Picasa webalbums.?
I don't want to stop sync but want lock some of my albums.
I can lock folders in SD card with any third party app.
I have searched but not able to find. May be I have not searched with the correct term.
Have you tried locking the gallery app instead of locking albums?

I am able to lock gallary but still anyone can see the photos from widget whichis available with galaxy nexus. I don't want all the synced folders to be locked. right now what you have suggested is the workaround for me thanks.

HTC's Photos app doesn't show the photos on my SD card and neither does Gallery (the cooliris Nexus One app ported to Incredible). How do I get photos to show up? Arr, it's driving me nuts!
Edit: SOLVED, see below.

I fixed this using the free "Gallery Enabler" app from the Market. I definitely recommend it!

I tried that app and thought it was great too, until I couldn't find any of my music playlists.
I think it hides folders from other applications besides Photos.
If you have problems, open gallery enabler and check all folders before you un-install it.
Then the right way to fix it is to open the Photos app on the phone, clck on the menu button and select "Settings" and then "Default Albums" then select the options you want from there.
If you're wondering how this application works, it probably just deletes/adds the hidden .nomedia files from folders. Those files restrict applications from having access to the media by signaling the android media scanner to ignore them. For instance, if you put one in the root of your sd card, the system would ignore any media on your entire card.
In theory, it's a great idea.
The problem is that all of my music is organized in folders and each folder contains the album art for the album.
So blocking the folder with the album art so that it does not show up in the gallery also blocks the music file from different media applications.

Ah, you're definitely right. All my music stopped showing up. However, once I went back and enabled all the folders and applied settings in Gallery Enabler all my music showed up again and the photos were still fixed. I suppose you could use Gallery Enabler once to "force" Gallery and Photos to see all the folders.
Changing default albums in HTC's Photos app did nothing to make media show up again. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Un-installing gallery enabler brought my music back but not the playlists, I had to manually re-build all of my playlists again.
I had a question about photo syncing in ICS
is it like iphone where any picture is synced to my google photos (or picasa)
or is the only way to have google plus installed and enable instant upload
i have 'sync google photos' checked in account settings
but all it seems to do is clutter my gallery with pictures it PULLS from picasa/google photo
and not the other way around (sends photos i took online)
is this true?
You can turn on auto upload in G+, and that should do what I think you're asking for.
I know you can do it with G +
My q was is Google Plus even NEEDED, or is gallery sync built in like iCloud
With my Nexus S, Gallery sync is included without Google+, but you still need PicasaWeb.
Gallery will still get "cluttered" with Picasa photos (auto-download is synced) and auto-upload isn't possible (unlike with G+), you have to manually "share" with your Picasa via the Gallery -> Share menu.
Don't know how ICS handles, I would assume similarly.
Hello!
Galaxy Note 2 doesn't show photos from Picasa like Galaxy S3 for example.
So, how is it possible to organize those albums? Choose the cover? Order of presentation....?
And also, do you know it it's possible to choose order of online albums (i mean : picasa first, then facebook, then dropbox...)?
Thanks
Is there any way to hide your Facebook photo albums that automatically get sync'd to your stock phone gallery. I want facebook to keep the photos for my contacts but not fill my whole phone gallery app with facebook photo albums. Any one figure this out?

Go to settings, accounts, Facebook, and turn off the Gallery sync. That should do it.
I noticed that by setting up dropbox, it automatically places my dropbox video folders at the near top of my gallery folders before picasa albums and right after the camera roll. I was wondering if there was a way to sever this integration but keep dropbox on my phone? I've looked for gallery and dropbox settings but I cannot find anything to delink the apps.
within gallery you hit menu and then select "view by" and then "content in device"
but that just changes the view, afaik, which eliminates most of the clutter. i dont want dropbox albums or picasa to sync and i have not found a way yet either.
I just removed the built in Dropbox and use the one from market.
