It seems that every android app has a unique app ID. I've found a couple of "modified" apps that share the same ID, and one of the problems is that the desktop icons can't stick in the desktop position you put them, because this ID is used to identify the app shorcut.
I found this error reported by the homescreen app and the log is stored in a text file in the default android folder for errors (I can't remeber the name). So I know for sure that the problem is the ID. Where is this app ID stored and how can i modify it?
Thank you!
Please help!
I have two folders in my gallery called profile photo and instant uploads, I don't know what they are for and I don't know how to delete them. How do you delete them?

I tried looking for them in root explorer but I couldn't find them.

These are likely directories created by an application you have installed or that came installed by default. Find this directory using root explorer or any other file browser then create a file in this directory named ".nomedia".
By doing this, you'll stop android from treating this directory as a directory containing media files (audio/video/photos) and after a reboot you shouldn't see this directory and it's content in your gallery.
It looks like its for Google plus but I don't have a Google plus account.

That doesn't really matter, it's just a folder created by an application. If you do a search for the directory and find it, do as I said and you won't see it anymore in your gallery.
The Instand Upload is an album that your photos are uploaded to in G+ photos / Picasa Web. The Profile Photo one is also for G+. It sounds like you have your photo sync on. If you don't have a G+ account, they may just be artifacts of having the photo-sync turned on.
Polobunny's suggestion is interesting. I've never tried it but I'll definitely keep it in mind.

Works wonderfully, I use it "often" for programs that have image files that get picked up by the gallery. Just make sure the file is named .nomedia without any extension and with the period before the nomedia.
I had photos in my picasa account so I deleted them and it fixed it.

solved... got account sync on with picasa album, unflagged from settings>account> tap account and deflag google photo sinc and reboot
Doesn't really work for me, that's one of the main reasons I disabled the gallery completely. Even when I clear the data and lose the web albums, I uncheck photo sync it still syncs them as soon as I click refresh in the gallery.
Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows of an app or mod to block certain apps from reading certain directories?
I mainly want to block doubletwist syncing my screenshots and other non dcim photos by blocking those directories.
I still want to see them in my gallery so the .nomedia trick won't work...
Any ideas?
Is there any app to manage access to other applications? For example can I allow to run only image gallery?
I installed app inspector and I noticed application called za-hooc and it's package name com.transsion.premissionprotect I tried to look up online but no luck so what this app actually does?

Za-Hooc security, a TECNO’s in-house privacy protection system for phones they produce and sell.
Apps that have access to calendar, contacts, call logs, sms will only scan empty lists of calendars, call logs, contacts, sms.
For example, the contacts app has a lot of important contacts, but you're using a Facebook app that forces you to give it permissions. Now "za hooc" has the effect of providing the Facebook application with an empty list of contacts
