[Q] Setting default media source in Gallery - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I want to know how I can set the default source for all media in Gallery. Right now when I open Gallery it would pull media from device and other apps like Facebook and Picasa. What I'd like is to set it permanently to just show medias from device whenever I open up Gallery because otherwise it would take some time to display the Gallery content.

album art showing in picture gallery

Is there a way to stop album art showing in the picture gallery?
if you talk about htc photo gallery you simply have to make the images "read only" and they'll disappear, but i don't know how to hide them if you're using nexus one gallery.
This is a simple fix for cooliris galley - (nexus one).
Load up your albums with the cd front cover jpg within the folder, the phone will cache the image. you may need to reboot for it to scan the folder and cache the image file.
When it shows up in the gallery you can delete the image located in the album folder for example: sdcard: Music\ACDC\image.jpg, this will remove it from the gallery and you have the the cd image now in cache for the music player, sorted.

this was one of the big issues over on the Omnia HD forum.. every image from every program appearing in the default gallery...
work-around-there was to simply set the images to HIDDEN. not great but worked.. could work here maybe.
do wish we get some control in these Gallery programs so we can tell it what folder we want it to look at... so new phone, new OS but still same old issue

facebook picture sync problem!

My facebook pictures were syncing just fine with gallery 4.2 but now they do not show up. If I do a system restore and open gallery 4.2, they show up for a split second then they are gone....with the gallery only showing pictures on my phone. Does anyone know all the settings thst I need to get them to show up again?
Would also like to add that my dropbox pictures no longer show up in the 4.2 gallery either.

[Q] Gallery as album instead of documents?

Some apps have the add photo or album button and it brings up the documents viewer like a tablet or so, and I'd like to not have that and just have it bring up a default app. Is this possible?

Replacing default Gallery App with Google Photos

I am coming from the GP4, and here's my issue. When I utilize an app such as Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and select a photo it automatically defaults to pulling the photo from the Samsung Gallery. Well, when I had a GP4, it would pull from Google Photos regardless, even if the image wasn't local, it would download it from the server and send. There's no way to change the default galleries app that I know of. Does anyone have a workaround for this? Is it changeable?
There's also the issue of taking a photo or video with the default camera app and if you happen to remove the Samsung Gallery APK through the console, pressing on the preview bubble of the just taken picture or video results in an error popup that there is no gallery app installed even though I have Google Photos installed.
I wish Samsungs version of Android would be more open and not so limited to their "core" apps.
