Android :: Apps To Lock Other Applications?
Jan 8, 2010
I jailbroke my first gen iPod Touch and it has something called "Lockdown" in Cydia and I was wondering if there's something similar to it. Basically, "Lockdown" requires a password for every app you specify. If there isn't an app, are there any restrictions on development that won't allow applications like this to work? If anyone makes this app (or if there's one out right now), I'd be willing to pay $2, maybe even up to $5, to have something like this.

With my Motorola Quench/Cliq XT the standard lock screen is a bit bland and requires the menu button to be pushed to unlock and I prefer a slide to unlock like many other phones has. However the problem is when I install advanced lock or lock 2.0 or some other locking app, it causes my camera button to wake the phone which gets pushed often while inside the holster case, the camera button doesn't wake the phone on stock. Does anyone know if there's a setting to disable the camera button function for such things?

I've recently tried several lock-screen disablers/changers:
* mylockforandroid
* SmartLock
* No lock
* Executive Asisstant
* Lock 2.0
And a few others. It was my impression that something is inherently broken with all of them: Lock screens would sometimes work as advertised, but sometimes they would revert to original.
For example, right now I am using Tasker to disable the lock screen, and while it works, mostly, now and then it keeps reverting to original lock screen. Now I am kinda suspicious if one of the original applications I installed failed to uninstall properly.
Anyone had similar experience with lock replacement apps? Is there a way for me to see who changes the lock screen? Or at least inspect the scheduled tasks? I'd rather not do a complete hard reset of the device.

So far, I love the Evo, but I am having three problems with it. And they are getting annoying. First off, some applications will randomly terminate. It started out being regular downloaded applications that would just end. Whatever, it was bearable albeit annoying. But now, sometimes important applications like "Touch Screen" (I don't think that's the exact name) are starting to terminate randomly. That made it so that I couldn't text (rebooting the phone restarted the application).Two, I seem to manage to accidentally press the screen in a random place just about once per minute when I'm holding the phone. It's getting to the point where I feel like it's starting to push random buttons when I just press the sides of the phone. I don't know, it's tough to describe. Also, there seems to be some other shortcut screen that pops up every so often. It's a small box in the middle of the screen that shows my six most recently used apps. I have no idea why it pops up, or how, but I would actually like to use it if I could figure out how to do it.
Three,lastly, it seems to lock up a lot. It just freezes, just like a computer would. It's probably done this about ten times now.So is anyone else having any problems like this? It's starting to get very annoying. Big blemishes for such an amazing phone... it makes me sad to think this has so many interfering problems.

In some social situations, you want to show off the interesting games, or any interesting apps to your friends. Then they always lend the phone to give it a try. At this moment, you start to worry that your secrets or confidential information are in Gmail, Messaging, facebook, Money Manager, and Calendar.
There is one interesting protection app called LockMyApps can help solve this embarrassment . After you start the service of LockMyApps, as your friend unexpectedly/intentionally open the sensitive apps, and then LockMyApps uses the stop or pause mechanism to protect these apps.
These apps seems to be broken, and won't ask your friend what's the password. So your friends may not know you have already intended to protect some apps if you hide the status icon.
Besides, if the kid uses the phone, you can use LockMyApps to lock the Dialer.

I just bought a Note 2. The only reason I bought it because on iphone I wasn't able to hide my apps without jailbreaking. I was really looking forward to some on android market that would allow me to hide certain apps and password lock them along with password locking settings options. Yet I have not been able to find any. I have a few apps that I want to hide from my family and friends.
I would rather not root my phone as I am not that technically advanced!

I just rooted and upgraded to 2.1DD10 last night. I find 2.1's lock screen extremely annoying. I currently have it disabled with No Lock. Is there any apps that have a better lock screen? Or an app that you use? I don't want to use PandaHome or apps like that. Just want a simple app that its only function is a lock screen.

I know this isn't really a new topic, but search came up empty and auto search as I posted this thread was not helpful. Nothing in 2 months, and nothing for Dinc.
So I'm looking to change some of the default behavior for lock/unlock. I've seen a few peoples lock screens on other threads but haven't quite figured out what they are using.
I'm coming from BB Pearl where I had to hit "* phone" to lock and unlock and it was quick and easy. I like the pattern recognition on the Dinc for the extra security but I probably don't need it, especially until my name and alternate phone number show up on the lock screen so someone can return it to me if they find it. Perhaps I'll but my business card inside the new silicone case?
Anyhow, anyone know of a good lock/unlock app that changes behavior or modifies the lock screen in a way they thought was much better than default?

I am googled and searched and all i keep finding is apps that will go onto the lock screen. I am looking to put Beautiful Widgets on the lock screen without having to put an app to edit the lock screen. I swore i read somewhere and seen it on a picture, but I don't know how to do it. Is it a setting that i am missing or a launcher or something. Any help would be great, like i said, I have been looking for a little over 2 weeks and can't find anything but Fly Screen and Lock Widget locker or something. Both of those are great programs, but not what i am looking for.

I'm using SenseHero and in the past I've restored nandroid backups a few times. I've also wiped the phone before restoring a backup.But after I've used Titanium to re-install apps, the manage applications shows apps that have been uninstalled. When I select them in manage applications, I get a FC.I've investigated a bit, and it seems manage applications thinks the apps are still installed for some reason. If I find the app in Market, then Install and uninstall it, it no longer shows in Manage Applications.Is there a way to force a refresh of Manage Applications? I don't want to have to install/uninstall all the rogue aps.The main reaons for wanting to sort this, is so that when I backup/restore from Titianium, I don't have this issue and I can create a Nandroid backup that is correctly up to date.

Any way to lock apps in memory without keeping icon in status bar? I guess I have problem with Lux auto brightness and Keep Screen On. I turned off icon of this apps in bar, and they are stopping working I guess that is because android JB is killing them when there is no icon.

I've been adding, and uninstalling, I've been noticing some installed apps that I don't seem to be able to add to my screens, or use.
I was wondering what these were.
They are: -
Rosie Utility
Teeter
and
Street View (Okay I KNOW what this one is, but how do I add it to Google Earth/Maps)
Also I've noticed that on the pattern lock screen. There is a message that says, "This phone belongs to". How do I personalise this with my name?

I am plan B and AVG security installed, both don't always work, I have pattern lock on the phone but even in pattern lock mode when i press and hold power button the phone gives me option to shutdown.
If someone steals my phone they will be able to shut it off without unlocking it since holding down power button still works. So is there a way to lock the power button from shutting off phone when the phone is in pattern unlock mode?
