hey.. is there any app that hides photo?..
and has a password on it?..
thanks!
used pin lock in the phone?
lol we all know how that use to feel...
Encryption maybe...
Maybe you could use the built-in encryption on a folder with the images in...
I use this method for documents and it works just fine.
TMNSoftware Hide my stuff.
encrypts, hides, password protects files or whole folders.
Tested on HD2.

I'm looking for an app to lock a map where i keep private stuff in, like pictures and docs.
so it's not seen when you open the programm for pictures and video's and album, if you understand me.
something with a password would be great or something to hide it.
and free if possible.
anyone some ideas??
thanks
Encrypt
There is freeware to encrypt stuff, check here:

I encrypted some stuff with 256 bit encryption the other day on my HD2, but I can't remember what prog I used, will post when I do.
--> Update, it must have been Resco Explorer (not free).
I think WinMo has encryption built in, but that may be for only the whole sd card.
Encryption Programs to hide files
FreeOTFE is a free, open source, "on-the-fly" transparent disk encryption program for PCs and PDAs.
Using this software, you can create one or more "virtual disks" on your PC/PDA. These disks operate exactly like a normal disk, with the exception that anything written to one of them is transparently, and securely, encrypted before being stored on your computer's hard drive.

This works great on my HD2.
Can someone please create an app that can encrypt folders instead of just individual files? There seems to be plenty of file and password encryption apps in the market, but I can't find any that will encrypt folders and it's contents. Maybe have the app password protected so when the user is in the app he or she can view the files in the encrypted folders without having to decrypt them. In otherwords no other app can view the contents until it's decrypted.
I'm sure someone in the xda forum is capable of this and I can't image I'm the only one that would find this useful. Willing to donate!
I believe the Biowallet Beta app does this.

Nah man, you can't encrypt folders with Biowallet only individual files. Cool app thou...

This seems like a useful app idea!
What kind of files are you trying to protect? I was using File Cover to hide images and videos in the browser, but I found it easier to just keep all my files in a single folder and rename that folder with a . before the title so the contents don't show up in the gallery. This doesn't protect anyone crafty enough to use said file manager, but it keeps my gallery safe.
I'd like if all files I place in a certain folder could be encrypted, so that if somebody steals my phone they cannot simply stick the sd card in their computer and randomly access anything personal/private..
I'd also like the folder to be password protected so that if my phone breaks I can open the sd card on my pc and get access to the folder content just by typing a password.
Please shout out if you know an app that makes this possible.
Regards -e
In the meantime you could try using Protector which can passcode protect any application.
Check out RR File Locker. Again, won't lock a folder, per se, but you can stick whatever files you want in there and organize into folders inside the locker. Encrypts and password protects anything you put in there.

I was looking for this software, but android market says that can't be installed in my contry (italy). Does anybody know why?
Is there another way to buy and install this software in my original desire Z?

Take out your SIM, run the installation over Wifi. I'd personally recommend pushing it from market.android.com rather than using the market on your phone.

market.android.com doesn't look for my country when I sign in my google account?
I really don't understand the choice to country-limit the installation of an app, credit cards are credit cards all over the world, aren't them?

Hello!
I have tried multiple app without success. Someone know a Good App to Encrypt those **Private** (cough...porn) pictures that sometimes we take with our excellent Infuse Camera???
well the simple solution is to use the built in file browser and move the pictures to any other folder, then put a file in there with the name .nomedia
Doing this will stop the media scanner from scanning the folder and showing up in the gallery or player apps. Of course this doesn't encrypt them, but it still lets you open them from your file browser of choice. The caveat is that if anyone else gets in there or plugs your phone in to a computer, there may be a chance at finding them.
Nice...
Photo vault works. It's a couple bucks but if you uninstall it or reset you're phone, you have to make them public first or you will lose them

vaulty it moves then into a folder & adds .txt to the end(so secure )
you wont lose on new flash just reinstall vaulty

The app ZDbox lets you lock certain apps (along with various other features). Just put a lock code on your gallery and maybe even your camera and you're good to go.

I think your box.net answer is the only good one. As for those pics there is soooooo many ways to access files on your phone, file browser, root explorer, astro file, etc. etc... If someone wanted to find them they could. So if its important to encrypt them or make sure no one sees them the only answer is to "get them off your phone"!! I personally use dropbox for the not so good for the family to view pics and I don't have my password saved so I must enter it everytime I login, they are safe, secure, follow me to any device, and I'm happy. Not to sound at all like an iphone fanboy but apple wins in this category, I miss my photo vault app, touche little piece of fruit... lol

Agree!! The only piece I miss from IP4 is PhotoVault.
Rename the Folder
You can also rename the folder with the "confidential" pictures adding a . at the beginning... In my case my folder's called ".databases" (yeah the less interesting name the better)...
Whenever it's showtime just remove the . and the images/movies will be found by the Media Scanner on the phone...
When you add the . they'll dissappear... Since this complies with linux's way of hidding folders, if you mount the phone into a linux/osx pc you retain the hidden property ;-) Windows is an entirely different matter though
Is it possible to create a locked photo folder that needs a password to get into?
Got some T&A pics girls send to me that I wanna keep in there but dont want anyone seeing when theyre on my phone.
Thanks
KeepSafe. It's free on the PlayStore and you can lock up all your pics and videos.

I've used Hide It Pro in the past with great success: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartanuj.hideitpro. It hides them from any other apps (like stock gallery) that scan for media.
I believe adding a ".nomedia" file to a folder hides the video or pictures from gallery/player. Doesn't lock the folder but an option without installing another app

I have an issue where it looks like the samsung keyboard inside secure folder does not learn words. It doesn't matter how many times I hit the check mark, it will never remember the word. I hope this isn't something I have to add my samsung account for because I would rather not have accounts inside secure folder.
As an edit to avoid the inevitable "just switch keyboards". I like the Samsung keyboard on this phone. The goodlock mods allow a very deep level of customization. This is really the only issue I have with it. It just tend to do a lot of messaging from within secure folder.
Anyone else run into this?
i don't think secure folder will save your samsung keyboard data
Its meant to be like that. It doesn't track your activities, doesn't cache your data etc.

That is true. As the purpose of the Secure folder is to keep all your data safe. As everything stored in the Secure Folder is encrypted.
