Hide/protect photos/albums

[e-man]

Is anyone familiar with a good app that'll hide photo albums or require a password to view them?

Photo safe (licensed version is best). He also puts out video safe

No problem. Market search for photo lock will bring up a few different ones. This is the only one I have personally used.

Here is a different way.

Compliments of daboy18 over at nexusoneforum.net

1. Download "astro [file manager]" from Android markets.
2. Open astro
3. Press menu. Press "new directory"
4. In "enter new name", name anything starting from ".", for example ".photos", or ".videos", and press create.
5. Mount your nexus one to computer
6. Open your new "dot...." file and you put whatever you wanna out. The files put in this folder will not be detected by nexus one gallery/picture viewer!! Hurrah!!!

To view your photos or videos, open astro, open "dot...." folder and watch all the videos and see all the photos.

optionally, you can download yxflash from the market and play your media through it.

Even easier way.....

Download App Lock or App Protector Pro from the Market and you can set it to where it needs a PW to access gallery With app protector pro you also have the option to use a pattern lock instead of a PW.

Ahhh, that would have been easier!

Well doing it the other way was a learning process.

Yeah with the way i posted you actually can keep your photos in the gallery so you can still get the cool pinch to zoom and stuff like that.

But can you put just part of your pictures in it and keep the rest in the regular gallery?

I'm using App Lock but the thing is, it doesn't start with when the phone boots ... so anyone who wants to get to apps that are locked with App Lock just needs to turn off the phone and turn it back on again. Or... am I missing something? There isn't an "open on startup" option that I could find....
