How do you turn off the Photos Tab?

Upgraded to iOS7 and canot stand the Photos Tab, I thought I was able to shut it off by going into Settings > Photos & Camera and then under Photo Tab, I shut off Summerize Photos. I was hoping that would shut it off and make it either go away or not display anything. But, of course not. What that button does do is "choose compact summerized views for Collections and Years." - whatever that means??

Anyone know? Trying to view the images in Years is a complete joke since the iPhone 5 screen is so small - and I don't want to view all my images or anyone else ot view them all, in one place. How do I shut this annoying (and useless) feature off. I prefer to organize my photos the way I have done it for years (not apples way). Matter of fact, I don't want this to even be an option when I hand my phone to someone else to use/see.

Anyone know how to shut this Photo Tab off?

iPhone 5, iOS 7

Click back on the Albums tab and it will come back to albums view.

Yeah, I know that. I am asking how do I shut off the Photos Tab? I went into the Settings > Photos & Camera > Photos Tab and turned off the summarize photos, but that Photos Tab is still displaying (and displaying ALL of my photos). I do not want ALL my photos Summarized in the Photos Tab. I dont even want the Photos Tab to be an option. Is this a bug? Or do someone know how to shut this Photos Tab off??

Thanks.

I do not find any method to turn off this tab. This is a recent addition to iOS.
