[How to] set gallery to show photo only from phone - Galaxy Note II General

Just got this phone. Would like to seek advice from experienced members here.
How do I set the gallery to show only photos from phone by default? By default the setting is all, which includes picassa and Dropbox, which makes opening gallery rather slow as it loads photos from there. Every time I have to set it to view photo from phone only.
Can it be done? Using stock stock rom but rooted.

the main reason i want to do this is because it takes a minute or so to load my photos due to the fact it is searching for photos on my picassa account.
however, i found a way to disable that.
settings->google (under "accounts")->[your email, under "accounts"]->untick "sync picasa web albums"
done! i also unticked sync chrome, currents, google+, instant upload, internet... i left contacts, gmail and calander as i use them.
thanks everyone for trying to help me. i really appreciate that

Facebook "Share" option not showing up in Gallery (FRF83)

Not sure if this is specific to FRF83 but when I got to my gallery, select photos, and click share, facebook is not an option. What shows up for me is picasa, messaging, bump, bluetooth, email, gmail, k-9 mail. Maybe I have too many?? Any ideas on how to remedy this? Thanks
EDIT: Ok it looks the option (in addition to twitter and goggles) appears when I'm viewing a picture. So is there no way to upload multiple pictures at a time to Facebook?
I've also tried going thru the Facebook app but it seems to only work with one picture at a time too..

Annoyingly not, although that's not a 2.2 thing, it's always been the case.

[Q] Turn off Picasa integration in Gallery

Hey all,
Anyone knows a way to disable Picasa integration in the stock gallery? Dont really want it to even cache all my thumbnails as I have 25,000 + photos in my albums...
Ideally I'd like to be able to enable or disable at will, or only show chosen albums; but disabling it completely works too.
Thanks!
Just for the info to anyone who might face a similar problem:
Actually, nevermind, I've switched to JustPictures instead of the stock gallery - it might be not as fancy, but gets the job done, doesnt try to cache 50 albums when you open it and is actually slightly faster when zooming.
I removed Gallery completely from my system. Piece of junk. Using JustPictures now.

Go into Account & Sync and unticked the "Sync Picassa" box.
If for some reason it's still there in your Gallery, go into Applications, manage applications and clear data for "Gallery".

Wow man, first I was gonna say something like 'wtf, do you think I haven't tried that?' but then I realized that my auto-sync has always been OFF.
So, with autosync OFF, Gallery app STILL pulls all your Picasa albums.
Once I've turned it ON, but unticked Picasa checkbox, cleared Gallery data and deleted /sdcard/Android/data/com.android.gallery3d/cache - the Gallery actually stopped trying to cache Picasa albums.
Hope this helps someone, thanks for your reply.
the original gallare has got a "by tag" feature, which works for some photos. I tried to tag few photos in windows or picasa and upload them to Tf and i cant get "by tag" work my test album.
is there any gallery app which handle tags properly? even i can tag or rate photos in it?

Disabling the picture sync doesn't achieve what we think it should. I disabled picture sync, cleared gallery data but the albums were still there in the gallery. I noticed that the Google+ had 13MB of data eventhough I didn't once open it. I deleted the data for google+ which actually removed the albums from the gallery. I wish it was simple and there was a way to sync selected albums. Hope this helps.

Nexus 4 Instant Upload issue

Hi! I have an annoying issue with google instant upload. If I go to my gallery and settings and I go to the synced accounts , it is selected in the google account , the google photos and instant upload are selected. Now , for whatever reason in the gallery I have the Camera folder and two instant upload folders.... one of them is the normal one with all the photos and one is empty. That one dissapears only when I go to picasa web albums and delete de empty album but that doesn;t work because everytime I take a new photo that empty album appears again and it has as name the date I took the picture. Can someone please help me to fix this and only appear a single instant upload folder?
PS I already tried this: I disable instant upload and only let google photos but then it won't upload the pics anymore; If i disable google photos and let only instant upload it happens exactly the same
It has been assumed that this is a bug on Google's side with the transition away from Picasa to G+. There is only one way I know to get rid of it and that is to delete both folders and then turn photo sharing off. Instant upload will still work, but the albums will no longer keep appearing in Gallery.

How the heck do you stop google from instantly syncing your photos?

Every time I take a picture with my phone. It's instantly synced with all my android devices. I disabled picture syncing and it still uploads it to a folder. It shows under a folder called "auto backup" with the picasa logo. Also I can't figure out how to delete the pictures from that folder. This is soooo annoying.
Are you talking about Google+'s instant upload? I know there are options to sync photos under your Google account settings. I can't remember if instant upload is there as well. Try opening G+ and look in settings.

Go to your accounts on settings. And then hit whichever email account it is. Then uncheck sync picassa.

[Q] Can't Restore/View Google+ photos in Gallery App

Hi All,
I'm a newbie but a long-time follower of this site, so please excuse me of any ignorance. I tried searching for my issue but didn't find anything relevant, hence posting here.
I have ATT Stock Samsung Galaxy S4. I have one primary google account(A) which takes care of apps downloading, gmail etc. I also added another google account(B) mainly to manage my Photos. So, whenever I take new photos, I have instant upload/auto-backup for this account B. My sd card just crashed couple of days and I have formatted it and it's all good to go now.
Now, I am looking for ways to see all my google+ photos of Account B in my Gallery app since auto-sync is turned on. While it shows up everything in Google+ photos app, I would prefer to see everything in Gallery app. I tried changing "Content to Display" in Gallery settings to show Picasa as well Device photos, but it keeps showing account A's picasa web albums and not account B.
I am really tired of looking everywhere, so I'm hoping one of you could patiently help me.
Thanks!
