so whenever I play Words With Friends, the facebook pics from other users show up in my pictures folder, which is annoying because it makes finding pictures hard and its embarrassing because I look like a stalker. How can I change this?
sorry. no idea. i think it's an app thing.
i downloaded vevo or something once because i wanted to watch a video that wouldn't play on youtube.
all of a sudden, ads for "the voice" and stuff started showing up inside my picture gallery.
just did a clean up and removed any apps i didn't use and that stopped.

Has anyone tried this? I downloaded and tried putting a video in there and it didn't go in the vault, yet its not in my gallery. I don't think it deleted, but how would I find the video. Thanks in advance

Might want to look in root explorer to see if video exist under sdcard/DCIM/Vault.
This is where mine defaulted.

Yeah it seems that only pictures that I didn't actually take with my camera showed up there

hide pics/vids
a much better and free app is Quik pic. you can hide exclude and even set a password for hidden files. this app does pics and vids and i have not found anything wrong yet
i use quick pic but the issue i am having is that when i am in the camera app and i cilck the picture in the corner it takes me to the normal gallery. Any way to change that?

The stock gallery app sucks on this phone and every phone ive tried. pictures barely ever load, fc, etc. id download quickpic i think it is from market, or use the motorola one, which is good.
My gallery is not functional as well. Trying Quick Pix now.
I can concur. The factory MotoBlur Gallery app as well as the factory MotoBlur Social Media widget and factory MotoBlur Music app are each in their own right flaming piles of dog **** disguised in brown paper bags at your doorstep. I'm always having to End Task the Social Media widget so it will refresh proper facebook updates, it rarely grabs LinkedIN like it should as well as other networks. It randomly locks up on any given FB status update from a friend and requires to be End Tasked. The Gallery app with GingerBread is horrid. It wants to sync everything to the "cloud" or internet somewhere like Facebook. Then you try to delete a image off your phone and it makes you think it's going to be deleted from all over the world wherever you may have uploaded it to. Makes you a little nervous I'll say. On top of that it also fails to refresh thumbnails or grab full res images quite frequently. It also does not properly recognize my personal directory structure on my SD-ext card. FroYo saw my dir's fine, but GB just throws everything in very generic "titles". I'm going to get the gallery app that is suggested here as well. I got winamp and am happy with the music playing experience again on my Atrix. Funny. . . Winamp on the droid does music better than Droid/Moto can do themselves. Go figure.
Quick Pix works fine. I like it!
One of the greatest Android applications I've ever used is Tubemate. The ability to download YT videos in the size I want is extraordinary. The WP application I hear the most about is MetroTube. What I really would like to see is a head to head versus the two applications in a video. Does anyone have a WP8 device and an Android laying so we can see a shootout?

Well, I started using the apps, and let me give you a quick rundown
Tubemate:
-Review in progress-
Metrotube:
-App taken down due to backend problems-
Will do a WP8 version review once its back up
Devices I'm using to review the apps
Tubemate: Motorola Atrix 2
Metrotube: HTC Windows Phone 8X
Video used:
Gangnam Style
Thanks for the comparison and the write up. I really thought Metrotube allowed for downloads for offline viewing?
That feature is currently in the latest beta.

Any way I can get it?
Tweet 'em @metrotube or just send them an email (you can find the address on their twitter stream somewhere) and they will let you in on the fun - if they still need testers!
Post will be updated at the request of the dev of TubeMate.
Meh, MetroTube doesn't even play videos on my 8x anymore. No videos load.. I just click play and the thumbnail blinks and goes back as if I never even clicked play.

Thats because Google made some changes again, third party apps like Metrotube and Tubemate have to be changed because of this- give it time, it's not their fault.

actually, its a hit and miss. just keep trying on playing it, comes eventually.
When I took some pictures and opened my gallery I noticed a "Blinkfeed" style gallery with "Friends" etc.....Here's the thing...I don't want that crap in my gallery...I actually like Blinkfeed in that it is basically a nicer looking widget for my social apps...but I don't care to see that **** in my gallery when it's already on my homescreen.....I've tried to find ways to disable it on facebook...but to no avail....I'm kind of confused as to why it's even on there and not just the pictures I took or downloaded....Not sure I described exactly what I mean....I'm coming from a Samsung Infuse and never saw that...although it's gallery file manager was crazy enough.

Click the menu button in the top right (The three dots) then select ADD ONLINE SERVICE and just unselect the ones you don't want to see
Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed with that as well. I don't have Facebook, and I also turned off syncing with Google Photos, DropBox, Flickr and Picasa. Yet, I still have a blank "friends" block in my gallery. I'm not sure how to get rid of that. Went into "apps" and tried the method of deleting the cache and data and starting over, but it's still there. Oh well.

still shows the facebook from my friends ..... annoyed as hell with this i have moved to Quickpic
well get root access then go to app folder using root explorer and search word facebook. you will get four or five files delete all of them.
download facebook apk from app drawer.com. and install. this way i was able to remove photos from gallery coming from facebook.
This should probably go in like a "general Android" forum, but since I don't really stray from the Note 2 forum, I figured I'd ask here.
Is there a way to keep photos from showing up in the Photos/Gallery apps? I have some special pictures () of my wife on my phone that I don't want showing up when I let someone see my phone to show them a random pic. I mean, yeah, I could take them off the phone, but I don't want to lmao.
Or maybe a setting somewhere? I didn't see anything in the Photos app...

I'd just move them to a subfolder and create a .nomedia file in it. This lets the scanner know to skip that folder and it won't show up in gallery.
Ha, works perfectly, thanks! :highfive:
Now, is there an easier way to view them other than removing the file? Are there apps that can view pictures even with that file?
Try Quickpic from play store. You can hide and show folders quickly from the menu button. Also an option to exclude folders. Way better than stock gallery imo.
