Yes. There is an amazing free app called "Vaulty" that does just that. Really good app

You can also use the one i'm using from Playstore Called: Hide pictures - KeepSafe Vault

But isn't it stored in the phone memory? All my videos take up so much space...

Just put an empty file named .nomedia in a folder. No images in that folder will show up in gallery.

What I'm also trying to do is have a back-up on my external SD card without it appearing in the gallery

Sd card file recovery apps ?

Hi guys, I'm looking for an application that would analyse my external sd card in order to recover deleted pictures.
Does any knows one running on android ?
Thanks
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
I've used test disk in the past and its worked really well for recovering files and photo's, there is a seperate app just for photos
Called photo rec. I didn't need to use it as testdisk did the job - take a look http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

You can also try Disk Digger from the Play store.

Galaxy s4 gallery keeps crashing?!?

what can I do? I go into gallery, then it's usable for 4 seconds, then closes. I've went into app info and cleared data and cache. I've wiped cache partition. nothing seems to work. it was usable yesterday. rooting has gotten me so many issues. my gallery thumbnails are over 9 gb gallery issues... please help. thanks

Did it start to happen after rooting? What root method did you use and what rom are you on?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Ok, you're running stock firmware. Are you storing pictures on the external sdcard? I'm thinking you have a corrupted file. Are the pics backed up any where? Corrupted file would explain the large thumb nail size.

really? well uh my laptop died too.... (I'm in a MAJOR technological crisis... and to top it off, I just underwent a surgery on my foot which makes living with these issues 100X more frustrating) I'll backup all pics onto my new computer and delete my SD card and restore pics.... but the thing is, one time I'd unmounted and completely removed the SD card and it still showed a 9 gb thumbnail. how can the file get corrupted? I've never done anything to it. but the major issue I'm having right now is the gallery app crashing on me... i am able to view pics and videos through other app galleries like quick pic... but I really want to use stock gallery cause it has weather tags as well... i just like the extra details.... -_- haha. Thx and look forward to your reply.

Before you do all that, have u tried to clear gallery cashe in app manager under settings. If not it's worth a try...
thanks for trying to help, I mentioned that I already did that in the first post . I'm actually thinking of unrooting later. but idk... I mean iPhone was so much easier to use and even I thought it was an overrated phone. perhaps I should just use galaxy s4 uprooted so everything will just be bearable to use...

Rooting has nothing to do with your problem.

Take your sdcard out and see if out still crashes. What size and brand of card do you have. 64 gb SanDisk have caused some problems.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
A lot of people have been having problems with them. I haven't paid that much attention to what the fix is other than Samsung cards seem to work. Google "64 gb SanDisk xda" and you should find threads that discuss the problem. Sorry I can't help more but I think that's your problem.

I'm not sure I understand the question. But if you restored system apps with tibu, yes it could cause problems. You should rarely if ever restore system apps. If you do a batch restore with tibu only restore missing apps and not any system data and apps.

I'm encountering the same issues. If I clear Gallery data and restart the phone, sometimes the Gallery will stop crashing. But it will always crash again soon....

Take out the sdcard and stick it in the pc with an adapter, maybe that works.

I haven't done a thing the phones literally a couple of weeks old

As gee2012 has said the only way to fix is get an adapter and plug into your pc. You can download image rescue software, Lexar and SanDisk both have versions.

You do not have more than enough space. If you look your SD Card has 149MB left. You said it needed 228MB. (TV shows get installed to sd card by default.) Free up some space on the SD or buy a bigger one.
