Hide Your Pictures

Ive been going crazy looking for a way to hide your pictures so when some random person asks to look at your phone and looks at "all albums" they can't see every picture on your device and storage card. Please help!!!

I don't know what to say, the TF3d menu has made it pretty easy to get to the "all albums" option. I put all my "personal" photos in a separate folder on my storage card, and I make sure the "Favorite" album in TF3d is set to My Pictures on the device. So that way if someone wants to see my phone, they can only scroll/flick through those. I usually dont let anybody do more than that with my touch pro...

Yeah man I hear you. I got a couple of

kinds of pics of my phone from pic mails or some where else and there's no way to hid em. Everyone wants to see my phone, so I got to always be like wait a sec, take the memory card out, and hand it to them. Making the file hidden does not work either.

What software do you use to encrypt them?

You could move your photos to a different folder, you don't have to encrypt them...

Which is still visible form All Albums. Granted, you have to then tap Albums and PICK the folder, but I'm assuming that's what they're complaining about, since moving it outside to a different folder would be obvious.

I use a program called SBK Mobilesaftey Suite. Its looks all my private photos and videos. The only way you know they are even there is if you use the program to navigate to folder they are in on my memory card. Any other programs says there is nothing in the folder.

Cons:
Everytime you do a hard reset or have to get your device replaced and you install the program again, you get a new USER ID and you have to call or email them to get the Activation Code which usually takes a couple days.

Works like a charm, good find. Would prefer something simpler that just hides folder without everything else but the program works well and does exactly what it says it will. Doesnt matter what other program or even using the PC, once hidden i cant see it unless i use the skb program.
