Hi, I've noticed that the Gallery app is slightly different from my S6 in that it includes all pictures on my phone when i click on the Gallery button in Camera app.
Is there anyway to exclude all pictures except for the ones that the camera takes, like in my S6?
It a bit annoying that there is always a meme (from whatsapp group chats) in the bottom corner of the Camera
Same concern here, did you find any solution?
This has been an issue since Note 7 and I have not found any solution yet, except going directly to gallery/albums/camera instead.

I have used "no media" on my N7 to stop advertising pics showing up in gallery back when I had it (yep, advertising pics were showing up in gallery too), but that's really not a solution, since in my case I have tons of media files on my phone and I want them to show as media files, just not inside gallery open from camera. I have not seen advertising pics showing up in S8 gallery, but pictures that I downloaded from internet do show up.
I have the same issue! But with camera app.
I have the same problem on my S8. I don't want them to hide from gallery but at the same time they shouldn't be included in the camera.
I have the same problem, and I haven't found the fix yet. The .nomedia fixes the problem, but it isn't good as a permanent solution.
*Necromancer ⚠*
My Solution is to use Quick Pic! Been using it for years! (even b4 CM purchase. No they didn't molest it) It allows Hiding with or without password.
I give up on Gallery!
Obviously, .nomedia is not a real solution, to this day from Note4 to Note8. It would be nice, if like Open Camera allow an app to be used when clicking "Gallery" icon. I still use OC frequently, but some features are not exposed to 3rd party apps!
I can say it's embarrassing to show pictures &andaccidently swipe. Showing some of my Tumblr saves..
Use ES File Explorer to find the Cache holders and set them to hidden.
.nomedia only works until you clear the app cache and then it's deleted along with it.
If the gallery can't see the folder, it can't display it's contents.
Where are these cache holders?

I've actually been *pleasantly* surprised with the Vibrants gallery app (gallery3d.apk), though I'm stymied that it seems to default to showing photos in an "oldest first" format. Is this true for everyone else? Anyone know how to change this behavior?
Thanks,
Yip
*** CHECK THIS POST for a partial (very cool) solution to this issue ***
Mine does the same thing. Kind of a pain when you have a lot of photos and have to scroll through tons of them to get to the latest pics.
yea this I find annoying, wonder how we can hack it...
Hmmm...so others are seeing the same thing, eh? I guess we're hoping someone finds a workaround for this. It's actually a very full-featured gallery app, so I'm surprised that something like this was left out -- seems like a natural option to set. In fact, it *should* be the default setting, if you ask me.
Hopefully someone will solve this AND/OR it'll be fixed in the next OS refresh.
+1 same annoying behavior. for the 3d gallery app looking so nice and polished, and the sharing having so many options, the basic preferences is quite lacking. :/
such as sort, delete confirmations, and so on and so forth
Partially solved!
Quick update on this:
I found another thread that allows you to replace the stock Vibrant camera app with the stock Captivate camera app -- basically because it's easier to use, selecting scenes, and so forth. Really a nice update.
Anyhow, I was noting that the new camera app placed everything in a "Camera" folder instead of the "Photos" folder. Rather than fuss with it, I just used Astro to move all of the photos to the new location, and then I deleted the old Photos folder.
So.... I opened up the Gallery app and voila! All of the photos are now sorting properly: newest first! Still no way to select any other sort option, but this is DEFINITELY the proper default setup.
Hope that helps someone else out there!

I did the same thing and it works like a charm
Hi everyone. Its my first post on this HTC Glacier forum. My wife owns the Glacier but I don't really have time with her phone to mess with it and figure this out myself (we are both very busy through out the day). The stock gallery shows no media (pics or videos) in my phone, but I have QuickPic installed and it shows all the pics and videos. It wouldn't be such a problem cuz I don't care for the stock gallery itself (I prefer QuickPic) but if you are texting and decide to add a attachment there is no option to use Qickpic to get that file (only the stock gallery). You would have to use QuickPic to view the file first then from there use the share option to sent it as MMS, but since my wife is learning to use the phone (she came from a Blackberry) she finds it anoying that way. I later installed the Gallery 3D to check it out but it also shows no media in her phone.
The phone is pretty much stock 2.2.1, perm-rooted with Visionary (haven't done the s=off option though). Thank for your time and I'm sorry if this has been discussed cuz I searched but didn't find it

I can't give you a solution to your problem, but I'm pretty sure the stock messaging app lets you take the pictures from QuickPic. I do it all the time.
Try going into "Manage Applications" and click on and clear the defaults on your stock gallery app. Once you do that, the next time you try and attach a picture it will ask you which application you want to use to attach it, then you can just re-select QuickPic.
Thx Alan, I'll try that.
Ok so I figure out what the problem was (had to steal the phone from her for about 30 min). It seems DRM Protective Content has to be running for me to view my media. I had it frozen with TB since that's the way I have it in my Vibrant and it causes no issue there, its just one of those system apps that I didn't want/needed to be running but for some reason the stock galley (in the Glacier) needs it to view your media... weird. Anyways when I plug the phone to the PC it turns DRM off and then I cant view my media again. Even after I disconnect it and go check to see if DRM is running (which it is) my gallery still says "no media" but Quickpic shows it though. I have to go back to TB then freeze then unfreeze DRM and then I'm able to view my media in the gallery... weird also.
Also... with QuickPick and Gallery 3D installed, I still don't have the option to choose either one when applying a attachment while sending a text message (only the stock gallery is available to choose). I cleared the data on all 3 galleries and also on the messaging app to see if then it gives me the option to choose, but nothing. Any ideas people. THX ahead.
Hmm had no idea the stock gallery was linked to DRM. Probably has something to do with HTC Sense and it's closed sourceness.
Does the DRM get refrozen when you actually mount your sdcard on the pc or just by plugging it in on charge only? It sounds like some sort of bug created by TB. If that DRM actually is a vital(or semi-vital) piece of the stock sense, then perhaps when you froze it that created bugs for the parts of the system that used it.
I've noticed in certain cases some actions will stick to the settings even once you undo the changes through the app you created the changes with. For example, on my stock Rom I used automate it pro to set my Bluetooth to power on when an external power source was connected. Eventually I disabled this rule and uninstalled the app, but those settings stuck permanently and now whenever I use my stock Rom and plug it in to charge, Bluetooth will turn on. Perhaps something similar is happening to your wife's phone...
I'd say try downloading a different messaging app like handcent or go sms and seeing if they have the same problem attaching photos. Perhaps the stock sense message app is linked to the stock gallery and I just don't remember that. I'll check one of my old backups and let you know what I find.

Some of them show up, some don't.
Is there any reasons why ?

Hi, byrerl...
Show up where, and in what app?
It really is difficult to attempt to resolve such problems when there is a paucity of information to go on. But I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark, and guess you are referring to the stock Gallery application.
The Gallery app is notorious for this sort of behaviour, and it usually can be resolved as follows. Go to...
SETTINGS>>APPS>>scroll horizontally to the ALL tab>>scroll down to the GALLERY app...
Tap on it, and then tap on both the CLEAR CACHE and CLEAR DATA buttons (it won't delete your images). Reboot your device (to allow Media Scanner to 'pick up/detect' your images).
Or alternatively, and even better, forget about Gallery and install QuickPic instead. A far superior image management tool than the stock Gallery app, which has always been a bit rubbish.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Coming from a Samsung s5 I'm used to being able from the photo gallery to crop and draw on photos. Now with the standard photos app I don't see these functions. Am I missing something, or do I now need another app? Recommendations?

I don't draw on my pics, but have seen a few that allow this....Just search for gallery and read the features. I've tried about 25 different ones to find one I like and I always come back to QuickPic . Has several great editing tools......But I always have a 2nd (besides Google Photo's) with more editing options. This 2nd one changes all the time and I keep hoping I'll find an "all-in-one" gallery that will let me only keep one. Many people will recommend the CM gallery, I really like it but it has no option to "hide" a folder. So if you have 300 albums, each in their own folder, you can' t automatically hide them - You have to add some sort of "no media" tag to each folder (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Another one I like, is a new one that I thing has potential.... It's called: A+ Gallery Photos & Videos (by AtomicADD Team)
Another couple I liked were:
FOTO Gallery (by LADYBUG)
Gallery (by Flayvr Media, Ltd.)
Piktures was another one I used for a while, you might check it out too.
You can always delete them if you don't like them.
Thanks, I was hoping for a few suggestions rather than the try a whole bunch to see approach. I checked the play store and hoped to whittle it down to a few contenders.

The Motorola gallery let's you draw and crop on photos, there's another thread with the apk in themes and app.
Trying the Motorola gallery, looks like what I want. Thanks Jamespat!

So I think we all can agree that Google Photos is the best gallery app. Only problem is there's no way to disable it and even if we decide to just not use it.
The main issue is that it's linked directly to the camera app as in if I need to view a photo right after I take a snap.. The photo preview icon next to the shutter icon links directly to the Samsung Gallery app.
Is there any way to change this preferably without root !
