I just downloaded "Photo Vault" from the market for $1 to do exactly this. It works great. You can even encrypt photos from the main picture folder without having to apply to the others.
Photovault is great, or you can just use astro or some other file browser to rename the folder and put a ". " in front of the name. In Linux this makes the file /folder hidden...
I prefer photovault myself though, out of the available apps.

LOL, that's exactly what I need it for
Exactly.. she likes the pics I take and now video.... just my friends don't need to see....trying to convert them from iPhone so I let them play with my phone.
Also some times my family want to see pics I take from time to time(just not them pics)
I tried placing I'm a new folder buy the phone searches for all media any folder... go the same with music. All the sounds from asphalt 3d was playing in my shuffle mix last night. Man that sucks

This really needs to be stickied this is like the 4th time I've said this:
Open notepad and save an empty file with the file type set to all and the name ".nomedia" without quotes and with the period. Then place it in the folder where you don't want the gallery or music player (media scanner) to look.
Same problem
My reason for excluding folders is much different. I have music stored on my card. These music folders include album art. This really clogs up the Gallery.
It looks like the ".nomedia" resolution will not solve this.

Or something to lock the current photo app?
Thanks.
I just saw two in the market...sexting vault was one I think. Can't remember the other.
PhotoVault works good. You can hide individual pics, they wont show up in your stock gallery. Have to sign in w/ a password in the app to see the blocked pics....
I recommend photovault "sextingvault" just sounds suspicious. Its the same app. But better name.

The Easy way to hide photos is to mount the sdcard to your computer or use Astro or EStrongs File Explorer and just move all the photos you want hidden to another folder on the sdcard and name the folder .Whatever
Just put a Period . in front of the folder name and the Gallery app will not look for photo's in that folder so it hides them.
All you have to do is navigate to the folder with Astro etc and then view the photos from there.
This is how i hide photo's as most people are not going to go using a file explorer to go find photo's

The absolute easiest and probably best gallery app available is quickpic. It has just what you are looking for.
You can also make any folder hidden by adding * before the folder name.

Audio Manager (Hide it pro). Its awesome! It hides pictures, apps, music, and it even locks any apps you want. Best part, is that the app disguises itself as a volume controller app. Check it out.

This is the way Android camera was designed, to give you a quick jump between camera and gallery. If you don't like it - there are plenty of replacement camera apps on the market, check them out.
You could move the pics and vids to another folder, and disable the folder in the gallery app (push menu button in gallery).
Or read this for more tips: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/hide-private-picture-folders-gallery-android/
your just using the wrong app -
Search for "audio manager" - it is a blue music sign with a orange one on the back,
go into this and you realise it is called hide it pro - download it,
simple to use and works perfectly

pretty sure those will show up elsewhere like in the gallery unless you hide the folder - put a period in the beggining of the name - example .xxxpics

Or put a file called .nomedia in the folder, it won't be scanned for media files by any apps.

He is quite correct, the stock Android camera-app does feature the small thumbnail picture for quick gallery access. I see it on my Nexus One right now.

I have been using my infuse for about a month now, coming from using iphone since it came out long ago.
One of the most annoying things i have noticed is when I try to see a pic or a video using the default gallery app, it shows all the folders with images eg.music albums, is there an app or a way of just accessing the camera folder only?
Thanks .

Copy a blank text file with the file name ".nomedia" into each folder you don't want to appear in the gallery.
I've been using Quickpic from the market on my cappy instead of the gallery for a while now. Really like it and you can hide or exclude certain folders. it's a bit faster than the stock gallery (at least on the cappy anyway).
I think there may be a way to keep the gallery from looking in certain folders similar to how you can block sound files from music players (put a .nomedia file or something like that in the folder you don't want).

Its blazing fast even on Infuse. Replaced my stock gallery app immediately!
I am using the leaked JB rom and runs great. I would like to be able to organize photos in my gallery app. You know, kids, pets, house ert in their own gallery. I cannot seem to see how to do this even with new pics.
Or is there a better app?

Hmm. I think there are only a few options..
1. Hook the phone up to a computer and make different folders for the different photos.
2. Alternatively, you could go in to your files and create folders from the phone and move the pictures that way, but I think the computer is easier.
Once you've done that, I believe there is a setting in the camera app that allows you to save pictures wherever you want, such as one of those folders. Not perfect, but I think these are your only options.
Don't know which ROM you are on but Synergy Gallery has the option to add albums from the gallery, you hit menu in the gallery and select new album.
That's a good question, I've been wondering the same thing..

As the title says, I'm looking for an automatic wallpaper changer app. Must have the usual stuff; time presets, pointing to custom folder, etc.
But the most important part, also the reason why I've resorted to asking here after spending countless hours at the play store, is an app that allows me to customize each photo's alignment. My photos are mostly out of alignment whenever I use the more popular wallpaper apps out there. So I'm looking for one which allows me to preset the view for each photo before I let the program run.
Anyone with a suggestion?

I thought this app use to be a lot better. Older versions allowed you to create folders, then use a file explorer to manually add pictures from different folders. Now you can only select pictures using the gallery. I liked the file manager method

That's what I see too. The file explorer comes up when adding a folder so I see your point now.

I'm using muzei with local files for this purpose. If you don't like the blur & dim effect you can disable it!
