I flashed on my Nexus 4 Google's factory images, yeah, the animations are cool and pretty fast but Google makes me have to use Google+ for example.
I don't use it and don't need it, but If I uninstall Google+ I can't use Photos, and It is the only gallery app on the device..
What can I do?
I just want the old Gallery...
So you are saying that android L sucks just because of that?
there re plenty of gallery. quickpic is good.

@Wassupdog: Install QuickPic, for exmaple, and live happily ever after.
So you can download another gallery app, then uninstall it (may need root explorer)!
Hope I can help you!

Pretty much.
In my opinion, the whole concept of Android is not be tied to 1 thing only, do whatever you want.
And that's really annoying when Google makes you keep an app that you don't need just because it is tied to another app.

You mean the AOSP version, not G+ Photos? Keep an eye out for an apk, or flash one of the AOSP versions of loli. Though I'm not sure if Gallery is present there, but I assume it is.
Wait to CM12

Dont click on Google+? It doesnt force you to do anything with it. Yeah I suppose its annoying if you cant uninstall it but just ignore it and problem solved?
Here's the AOSP Gallery you wanted: https://www.sendspace.com/file/cyym47
Make a folder named GalleryGoogle under /system/app and paste the .apk inside the folder you created. Set the permissions accordingly and reboot(if you're not sure about permissions, check the other folders and .APKs' permissions using Root Explorer). If it doesn't work, you need to do something with the lib files.
i kinda see his point. the first thing i always do when i flash a new rom or in this case stock image is get root, get a app like "root uninstaller" and start deleting all preloaded apps that i don't want like google+ and earth and newsstand, etc. i like a clean OS with just what i want and it doesn't hurt that doing so also free up more ram and system storage
but now i can't do that AS MUCH as i want cuz some apps are link like google+ and photo. Until i find a good 3rd party app that looks good with the OS to replace some linked apps i'm stuck like this

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to upload multiple photos to Facebook from the SGS2, directly from the gallery if possible? I have downloaded an app called Speedy Uploader, but was wondering if there is any way t o do it straight from the gallery.
I use a cool app called 'Speedy Uploader'.
Hope that helps.

Did you even read the post?
OP, there isn't a native way but something like the Speedy Uploader app you're using should allow you to select all the images you like and then use the 'Share' button. That'll stop you having to open a second app.
Guys i know this might sound dumb but can someone please tell me how do you integrate photos in the system of the phone?
As in i have a few images of another phone which i want to feed it in the phone itself (SO THAT IT DOES NOT APPEAR IN GALARY)
Like the default phone wallpapers. (Where you set a wallpaper from WALLPAPERS and not GALLERY)
And also same with the apps (Such as i want a dictionary to be in the phone even after formatting, i have the apk file but)
Hope you understand what i mean.
Thanks

You already knew the answer buddy. The wallpapers are in System APK. Just like that the dictionary is in Keyboard APK.

You can put them anywhere. As long as you make a .nomedia folder in the folder you store them they won't be in the gallery.

No sorry. The no media thing is just to prevent it from being in the gallery. I don't know what the default location is but the previous poster stated it's in the system apk. You would havo to repack that with your own wallpapers to make it work I guess.

Is there any way to make an app like "Where's My Droid" a system app? I like the app, but if I do lose it, anybody that finds it can see the app and uninstall it. If it were a system app, the icon wouldn't be on the screen or in the app drawer.

[Must be rooted] You could manually move the apk from data / app to system / app using Root Explorer (or similar).
Thanks. I am rooted. I'll get root explorer and move it. Will it have to be installed again or is it a done deal?

For some reason I couldn't find it, but looking in Titanium Backup/Special Features, I found you can choose make system app. All's well now, but I'd still like to remove it from the app drawer, but still be able to access it. Is that possible?

You'll need to decompile and modify it -- which is not easy to do. Or you can use one of those "hide app" apps in the market.

I don't want to delete it, since it might mess up an app I am using. Rather, I would like to know what app its related to. Is there any way to find out?

Looks like it's for this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meecel.feedreader.RssDemonAd
Edit: Can't imagine for the life of me why an RSS feed app would take up that much space, unless it's configured to download and store content or something.

Correct. If you no longer use the app, you should be fine to delete the data. As the above post mentioned, if in doubt you may just rename or move the folder first to make sure nothing breaks.

What file manager app are you using? Maybe try a different one, I like solid explorer and root browser myself.
You might also try connecting the tablet to a PC and see if you can delete it that way.
Can't get rid of a few apps, tried force closing and then it won't give me an option to uninstall.
Also tried the recovery uninstall trick, didn't work...help!

Uncheck "Google photos" under setting/Sync/ your google account:good:
Thread moved to Q&A where it should have been posted originally. OP - please check the rules link in my signature to familiarize yourself with the expectations of you as a member of the forum.
Carry on.
The photos application will not stop opening itself even after the sink is stopped. & I can't find it on the list at all on the app remover, it's not a user app for a system app. Anyone know how to get rid of this please let me know
