I don't use Picasa and hate it. How do I remove the constant auto backup that shows up in my Gallery?

Log into Google plus and delete the album's, then go turn sync and auto backup off in the g+ settings

But what if I want Google+ to backup my photos that I take? I just don't want the autobackup galleries to appear on my phone from Picasa.

well, as far as I know either you use it or you don't.. I don't think you can hide albums unless you use a different 3rd party gallery..

You can switch off sync for Google Photos, and then clear cache and data for Gallery. (It won't delete any photos).
This will help you to show only the offline photos in the gallery.

I've only gotten mine to sync in the gallery 1.1.40001 app.
there is also a picasa web app (non-google) available for free on the market that works very well.
Thanks for the reply what would the name of that app be?

Search for "picasa tool" on the market.

Found my answer. Although this doesn't bring up an option in the settings menu to sync Picasa it still shows picasa photos. Just install this zip of the stock 4.2 camera/gallery with your recovery. The only thing that doesn't work of course is the Photo sphere. Here is the Dropbox link.

Photos and Google+

How do I add and store my photos on to Google+ automatically, but also make sure that they are not seen by the public?

Gallery: hangouts album

Hi, in my gallery there is an album called hangouts with all the hangouts pictures I got and sent myself. But I cant seem to find where I can delete the album, there isnt a delete option like with other albums and also the pictures havent got an option like that.
How can I delete the album?

Try checking your Google+ album, because normally Google+ saves the pictures you send and receive.
Thats what i had done in the past and has worked for me.
Give it a try.

New Hangouts V2.1.1

New hangouts version 2.1.1 has been released. Doesn't seem to be a major update, mainly bug fixes I imagine. Here's the DL link.

I have noticed, on Sprint with this version I can now see the APN option in the SMS settings menu. Have never had that appear before, there are TONS of options for Sprint/SPCS now
Does anyone have this issue where you can't see the avatar of the person who texted you?

Got similar issue on stock. In my case Hangouts also didn't send pics. Killing and restarting app helped.

Still have the problem with peoples contact picture not showing up in the notification window
The only thing irking me is the fact that randomly when I go into sms conversations it'll show the hangouts bubble on the bottom left - greyed out with the word "sms" in it... Drives me nuts cause the text is also in a weird spot... If it at least centered it wouldn't annoy me as much.

You have to manually set the photo in contacts again to update for notifications.

OK so the app automatically syncs em but for hangout notification pictures to pop up in notification pull down you have to MANUALLY set the photo again in contacts app. I emphasize on manually
