I'd like to have all these random folders with images stop showing up in the Gallery, like icon pack folders I've downloaded and such.
Is there any way I can have just a couple desired folders show up only as albums?
Thanks for any help!

Try using quick pic from play store, you can choose which albums to display, and hide albums too for all your dodgy stuff

Thanks! No dodgy stuff though (yet ) but plenty of random system and icon images scattered across the device, now I can just see my camera and pictures folders Thanks again.
Try the Hide it Pro.
You're gonna find it for free in Play Store.
I'm loving it!

Is there a way that i might be missing to hide albums in the gallery application? I know u can put a "." in front of the folder name to make it hidden to the whole device and possibly add 3rd party applications to hide folders but i just wanted to hide folders i have with icons in them, only in the gallery but still have them available when using other apps, that way i can still customize with the icons

Try Gallery Excluder. Easy way to choose folders that you want excluded in the gallery.

Make sure you don't exclude your music and movies folder though.
If you put a text file in the folder and call it ".nomedia", then none of the images in the folder will show up in the gallery.
Unless you're really attached to the stock gallery, I'd recommend trying QuickPic. It lets you hide or exclude folders and numerous other things, it also loads much faster than the stock app.

like he said copy this into the folders you wanna hide your pr0n in, it will also hide subfolders too
this works for music images, video ect...
i attached it because its hard to create it under Windows
unzip and place .nomedia in the phone folder

using this would hide the folder from every app though correct
like if i went to Launcherpro and wanted to change an icon in dock .. when i looked for that folder it would not be found.. really only wanted to block in gallery not the whole system
I'm having issues with this. My Nook app, for example, dumps huge folders of pics (from ArticleView I think) in the gallery. I've checked some albums, and they already have .nomedia in them and they still show in the gallery. I tried a few apps to hide the albums, but that breaks the functionality in the app too. Any solutions? This is really annoying.
try the app quickpic does an easy job of hiding or excluding folders.

When you manually copy the nomedia file you have to wait for the gallery Db to refresh to see the results.
If you download 'gallery excluder' it will add a nomedia file and allow you to force the media database to update whenever you'd like.
Is there any solution? It's frustrating. I want ABC arrangement, but when I install some new game and its name starts eg from A, I have to get every app outside of the folder, to the app drawer, then RE-arrange the apps by name. So, please help. ;-;
BUMP people? Noone? Or noone cares?
Do you mean when you click on applications and the apps are all spread out on different pages?
If so just click the call button on your phone and select list view and your apps will be in alphabetical order.
Also i recommend this app i have it myself
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer&hl=en
don't folders have a list alphabetically setting?
For me, Appzorter Lite has proven to be the best. It's primary job is to alphabetically sort the apps on the launcher, but if you go into settings you can also have it arrange the apps inside your folders. It can also fill out gaps if you choose to manually move some applications to another page on the launcher. Very nice app!
I mean this:
http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/6716/sc20110821015013.png
To arrange the apps inside the folders by name(a-z). I tried the Appzorter, but it screwed my other apps inside Touchwiz's appdrawer. I only want it for folders.
I realised after some trial and error that you need to use Appzorter's sort as well as fill gaps features, then restart the phone. I believe that should work. I don't think there's an app or drawer that allows you to add folders and only sort apps within the folders.

Folder Organizer is the app you want.
Hi,
The same "old" question...... Is it possible to hide some folders from the stock Gallery in andreoid 4.1.2 (stock) ? ? ? I tried the .no media before - but its seems like it also hide the folder from the music player What I am looking for is a solution to hide all the Album pictures, so it does not show up on the gallery. I tried Hide It Pro - but it seems not to be stable.
Any help
Thanks
Just use a different gallery. I recommend Quick Pic, it's really fast and blows the stock gallery out of the water and it's less than 500 kilobytes in app size. Also, file hide pro will work with quick pic, but since Quick Pic is awesome, it does not need file hide pro, cause it has built in album/picture hider.
Check out "QuickPic"

Hi,
Thanks - but as i stated in question - I would like a solution for the stock gallery and not another 3. part app
Add a file called .nomedia to the folder and it will hide the pictures

YES - but it will also hide the content from music player - as I also written in my post .............................but thanks
This may not be very convenient for you but you can move the things you want to hide onto your laptop ?

Nope other than creating a folder with name starting with a '.' and putting all the stuff you would like to hide in it (which eventually hides them from music player also) there seems to be no other way to do this especially since you don't want to use third party apps
I do not get a delete icon or a trash can to delete photos.

I was confused by this at first too. When you first open the gallery, you'll see a bunch of pictures - but that is an album view. You need to click on the album and that'll take you in to another view. Once you are in that second view, click and hold on the picture you want to delete and it'll get a checkmark near it. When that happens, you'll see a trash icon at the top right.
Take a look at the screenshots I took to help illustrate:
This is a shot of when I first launch the gallery app
Next, I clicked on the "Camera" gallery
Finally, I clicked & held on the image (or video in this case) in the top right. when I did so, it put a checkmark, and you'll see the trash icon in the upper right (checkmark and trash both circled in red.)
I hope this is helpful.

This. I've used it since it was released and it kills every other Gallery app on the market, including the stock Android one.

Are you trying to delete pictures from picasa albums? If so, you can't do this using the gallery app. If you press the menu button, and go to content to display, you can turn off picasa.

Hey guys.
I'm coming from using the Galaxy S3, and the default application (Gallery) was beautiful, in that I could manage my photos (delete, move, copy etc).
Also, everything was easily accessible because it was all organised in folders, where as this seems like a cluster**** to me, where I can't even find the pictures that I just took, unless I looked really hard for them.
Isn't any of this possible in the Album application on the Z2?
TIA

That's why I don't use the default Album app, and switched to using QuickPic instead.

You get to the folder view by pressing the album icon on top left.
