Touchwiz gallery seems to pull pictures posted in Google+ into separate folders labeled by date posted as opposed to one folder labeled "Photos from Posts" like Picasa or stock ICS/JB does.
Attached is a picture of the folders I am talking about. It's the ones I wish to remove/hide.
Three questions:
Is there any way to have it do the same as stock and place them in one folder as well?
If not, is there any way to simply hide them while keeping the rest of the folders from picasa visible?
If not, is there a third party gallery that will allow me to do the above asked.
Any help is appreciated.

QuickPic is a really good gallery replacement app.
You can exclude folders so they don't appear at all. I normally exclude music folders because I don't like seeing album art in my gallery. You can also hide private folders. You can password protect the hidden folders too which is a plus.
It's free in the Play Store.

Great app. No sync with Picasa or Facebook or anything for that matter

I really like the Sony Cradle, but there's one thing that's been bugging me since I got it.
I'd really like to use my tablet as a photo frame when it's in the cradle, and there's the Gallery app to do just that. But unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of settings.
Rather than just pulling in any photos it finds, I'd like to just display a specific folder of images (In an ideal world, it'd hook into Flickr and pull a particular set in, but that's probably asking too much).
Failing that, it'd be great if other applications - including an alternative "gallery" app - were available.
Other options should include duration between pictures, selection of transitions, how to deal with photos of different ratios, and choosing whether to pan/zoom or not.
Has anyone got any solutions?
install quickpic (alternative gallery, fast and free, lets u define paths)
go to settings, applications, gallery
clear defaults
see if quickpic now comes up as option when u dock
Any word on how this worked? I'd like to have something like this, but can't try it until I get home.

edit:
tried it. still only gives the same options. =\
QuickPic is indeed a much nicer program than Gallery, although it could do with some transitions.
Unfortunately, only the three "official" Sony apps come up as options to auto-start when you dock in the cradle - Clock, Gallery and Chumby.
I'm not sure what special inclusions are required for third-party apps to work like that...
Well, quickpic needs some development
Quickpic is nice, but still, what's bugging me is:
"Can't sync Picasa or Facebook or other web albums!"
An app where you could choose whatever album you wanted (including Picasa) I would give a fair amount of money for.
I can't find a way to organize songs by album on Samsung's (?) Music Player. Google's player ("Play Music") can do this no problem. Am I missing something?
EDIT: AT&T version
Not sure what version GS3 you have. The Music Player on my verizon version has tabs at the top for songs artist album playlists etc.
Try sorting by folder. I usually have each album in separate folders

It seems the problem is that launching the app through the widget displays less options than launching it through the app list or a direct shortcut. If I launch through the app list I get the tabs selected in the settings menu (folders, albums, etc.). IThe only tab I have if I open through the widget is "All tracks". Why wouldn't it just launch the app proper? X_X
The stock gallery app annoys me as it does a lot of people with the FB portion, but what also annoys me is how it arranges the photos in my albums. I like QuickPic because I can arrange my photos in my albums from the app, but I cannot send an MMS from that app. Is there an app that will allow me to send MMS from within the app, and also serves as a good album viewer?

Try Just Pictures.
I like it as much as quick pic. I think you can share from it.
Just downloaded it, looks very nice. When I try to send it as MMS there it gives me a list to share the picture, but the text icon is not listed in there.
I just downloaded Gallery ICS, which is the older style i prefer from AOSP

Same problem as the stock gallery app in that it arranges my pictures weird.
Not for me.. it just puts them in different folders (based on actual folders in the drive), and arranges from newest to oldest. I hate how sense separates them into date folders
Hi,
Is there a way to add folders inside the app drawer? I would like to create folders there to make the icons organized. Such as all Socia Media apps would be in a Social Media folder, all office apps will be inside Office folder, etc. Also, can we add additional tabs inside the app drawer and not limited to Apps, Widgets, and Favorites?

Not yet, but we are working on it
How far are you to completing this request? I noticed it's a very popular one and it's forcing me to go back to Buzz Launcher because even stock app collection is too many to deal with w/o folders.

One of the recent updates allows for apps to be hidden, but we're still working on add more functionality to the app drawer.
Hi,
My Favourites album is not working properly (MM6/EMUI4)
Would like to tag some photos as Favourite and then use My Favourites album as selection for wallpapers and PhotoWidget, but not possible, My Favourites album is not shown on the selection list at all?
In Gallery application My Favourites album is shown just fine... but how to use it? Seems rather useless now..
thanks,
you can always change your music app for temp fix
have you hidden the album from view? or make a new album with the pictures

My Favourites album is not manually created, it's a "system folder" that gets created when you Fav some photos in Gallery using the Heart symbol..
I don't think it is an actual album/folder, but rather just shortcuts to the photos you have liked.. and that's the way it should work, just tag favorite photos instead of making copies of them..
but Photo widget and wallpaper selections doesn't seem to support that feature, seems like a bug.
