If you go into Accounts & Sync then select the Facebook account and untick sync gallery (i think)

Yep, I thought about that after I posted this, tried it, and it didn't work.

It's pretty hard to hide things within Gallery ...
Seems like renaming your folder into .folder_name will make it desapearing.
Or you can use QuickPic instead, it has an exclude folder option.

uncheck sync for facebook in account settings then
settings -> applications -> all -> gallery -> clear data -> reboot

that's awesome just did that myself. another question when i connect to my wifi at home it keeps finding my computer and my nas drive in my gallery any way to disable that so it doesn't show?

Having the gallery ignore / not show the contents of a certain folder is rather easy.
Just put a file named ".no_media" into the folder in question and Gallery will ignore it.

I know... But, there's people who you can only stay in contact with through FB, otherwise I would.

Actually, that fix only temporarily worked.

Reinstalling apks from SD x market

After reinstall the apks from the SD, is there a way to show them in the market for future updates ?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
get titanium backup and select your app and long tap it. Select attach to market (Forced) and then you can
Hope I helped !
Go to settings, applications, manage applications, select market then clear cache/data. Log back into the market, accept the agreement then you should be set.

A feature i actually miss from iphone software after jailbreak. (a simple gallery lock)
i had this app and lost a load of images, i wouldn't recommend using it unless you make a daily backup of your images!!
OK

Ok... now i found them. I found this solution from app description:
# Please unlocks Pictures/Media Files before deleting Gallery Lock. If you do not unlock them before uninstall Gallery Lock, you lost your Pictures/Media Files forever.
The way to recover: reinstall Gallery Lock > Setting > Recovering locked media
# If you see the message “No installed App” or don’t execute App in Home Launcher, that means you are using the feature ‘Hide App’ in Setting. It is possible to execute calling to dial #789.

thanks

What app did you use? I remember i used app lock, it just locks the app, when you go to gallery it asks u for pass
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
I'd just use Vaulty. It works very well and you can decide which images to lock/encrypt from the main gallery with a password.

Use Smart App Protector..
Not only does it allow you to lock the Gallery. But also other apps according to your needs.
It even allows you to select either Pattern or Pin, and even gesture.
Here is the link:

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
try uninstalling and reinstalling if that doesnt work maybe try installing the JB workaround for haxsync, not sure if the workaround is meant for the problem your having but it wouldnt do any harm to try.
What do.u mean is there more than one thing you need to install all I have is the haxsync workaround

yes u need the main haxsync app itself, the workaround is only like a patch to apply to the main app.
main app is called "Haxsync - 4.x Facebook sync" on google play
edit:- k follow these steps
1. Install main haxsync app
2. install JB workaround - then follow the notes with the workaround "OPEN via google play or App drawer to complete installation"
3. Goto system settings - Accounts and sync(Android settings not facebook app settings)
4. Click add account - Haxsync
5. Confirm authorization
6. Wait for haxsync to finish syncing
7. FB contacts should now be in android people/contacts app
8. also 1 thing I noticed myself is some contacts may already have been linked with the haxsync contact as haxsync has an inbuilt linking system as part of the settings. So if after syncing u dont see contacts with a haxsync symbol, check a persons contact and linked contacts u may find them already linked.
Got.it thanks

Gallery Issue

Why do I have to keep clearing data in the gallery application to get all the pictures to show? After I do it all the folders show pictures, then if I open the gallery an hour later the pictures show in my folders but any folder with the facebook f on them show up empty,tried syncing on and off same result, tried diff apps they don't show those folders.. any ideas as to what's happening?

Do you have an app that clears the cache by chance?
Yeah I do..
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
thats the problem then most likely.
Yeah, i had this issue with TB/Gallery before. If it is history cleaner pro, get a new cache app. The PRO version doesn't allow for exclusions...
If that doesn't work, you could try quickpic from the app store. I prefer it to the stock gallery.
