You can see the extra folder on the bottom right
I remember on the evo 3d you could go to settings and make sure they didn't appear I don't see that on here ... and I get tired of erasing them. Also I don't want an app for gallery stock one is fine for me

I'm assuming you mean bottom left, not bottom right?
What are the images of? And they're not deletable from the Gallery app itself?
If you connect to a PC and dive into the folders, can you find where they are and delete them?

I use QuickPic instead of the Gallery, its much better and faster imo. QP has the option to hide folders you dont want showing up. If you are willing to try QP instead of Gallery that will solve your problem, but I dont know how to hide folders in the Gallery app.

In the root of the directory where the images are make a file called ".nomedia", clear the data on the gallery app and images will not come back.

If I understand it correctly, that's the launcher (app drawer) from Nexus One.
would like to see 5 icons across rather than four. But not sure what else it does lol

How have you had it working, i.e. in the sense that it looks and acts like a nexus one.

We have already found that you just pull the apk from a nexus1 rom and install it onto the desire.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6002164&postcount=80
Then you goto applications and remove htcsense from being default and force close it. when you next go to the home screen it asks which one you want to use (htcsense or launcer2)
EDIT: You can also install Gallery3d from the nexus this way

But if you just install launcher2.apk from N1 it's not functioning properly -- icons are small, etc.

Works fine here, everything looks exactly as it should
Maybe I had the wrong APK. Can you share the one you've used?

Sense UI for Launcher Pro

After doing some research, found this sense ui dock bar for launcher pro. This will replace the dock for launcher pro with the sense dock. I run cyanogen and really like the sense dock so I found out a way to bring the best of both worlds.
Download link:
http://db.tt/3pXEKny
Instructions:
1. Extract zip to your sd card (any folder of your preference)
2. At your home screen do as follows
Menu
Preferences
Appreance settings
Dock background
Choose custom and locate the folder in which you extracted the downloaded zip.
Pick the image with the sense dock.
3. Now you have to setup your icons.
Launcher pro has 5 dock icons you can arrange. Set them up as the following using the blank image attached with the zip.
On the left should be your app drawer.
The 3 middle icons should be setup as phone.
And finally and lastly the icon on the right can be setup to whatever you choose. (I have mine setup as browser).
Have fun.
Sense wallpaper is also attached with zip.

Awesome, Thanks!
When I try to select the image, it doesn't show up in the gallery. Yes, I've extracted the zip file. It just seems that no png file shows in the gallery.

That's weird shows up for me. Where do you have it installed?
[G2/HTC Vision]
They are in the same folders the other pictures are in. They do show when I use the JustPictures! app, just using the Gallery.

Try moving them to the download folder? Have mine in there and it shows up in my gallery app.
[G2/HTC Vision]
Doesn't change anything. Also, I've read that when you select Custom it asks you what program you want to use. Well, it automatically selects the Gallery even though it's not the default app to view pictures.

Not sure why you can't see it in your gallery. I can see all the files in my gallery. Maybe a app is blocking you from seeing it. Not quite sure but I def can see it. Have you tried a reboot?
[G2/HTC Vision]
That did it. Thanks. I thought I had already done that. Guess not. After all that, it didn't suit my taste, but thanks. I'm sure quite a few people out there will use it though.

No problem. If you look at the op I put a updated version at the bottom. Click the link. Looks a little better.

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

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

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.

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

Hi Guys,
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.

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.

As seen in the image, I am running low on space. Adding up the used portions of my memory should leave more than 5gb's left, but instead I have only 2.9
Any help?

Usually this is due to nandroid backups.

the amount of space taken up by your nandroid doesn't show up in this screen. you should try downloading DiskUsage from the Play Store so you'll have an idea as to what's taking up space in your phone.
P.S. I am not, in any way, related to or are friends with the developer/s of DiskUsage.
I noticed that when initially 'calculating', there is a 'misc' group where usually nandroid and other big files are but once it finishes calculating it disappears.
I'm not sure why it does that now on jb roms but on ics roms it would calculate the misc group. Or maybe it's just a rom problem but I doubt it.
I'm on aokp btw

Your doubt is justified, it's the same on stock since Jellybean!
I'll check out disk usage. I have no nandroid backups on my phone.

This happened to me before, and i know exactly why, though its pretty situational.
I used Google music to download all of my songs to my device. What I didn't know is that you don't just get copies of the same files you uploaded. What I ended up getting was a bunch of strangely named files in the cache of Google music with a .nomedia file hiding them. My data manager did the same strange disappearing misc. files thing. I tried to unpin the music through Google music, and the space was still taken. I then tried to delete the files from the cache using a root manager, and I couldn't for the life of me free up that space, no matter what I did.
I ended up wiping my data and starting fresh because it frustrated me so much.
