I have been searching for a way to passcode/password protect apps on my Nexus One since I got it. Is there a way to restrict access to apps such as SMS, Gmail or email? I have this on my iphone but have yet to see this for the N1.
Another thought: Is there a way to create a folder and password protect the folder?
Just enable the pattern locking in the security settings. Android does not permit a numeric passcode, but instead relies on a drawn pattern. However, it limits access to the entire system. You cannot limit access to specific apps.
This is the one and only feature i do miss by Windows.
This android app offers (basic) support for such things:

You can individually PIN code each app. of your choice.
ok thanks..i downloaded filemagic but how do i install?
Its not filemagic, its Tasker. AFAIK since its still in beta, the author puts the download link until there is some bug found. So you would need to follow the site. Here it describes how to do what you want in Tasker:

Hi There,
Does anyone of you use app lock?
App lock is nice as it protect your privacy from others BUT though we except it from task killer, it can also be killed! Just by open setting >application >running services ,then just simply click on the application to kill it. This mean we can protect our privacy from people who don't know. how to use android phone,but not from those who know this TRICK!
Anyone has any idea on how to prevent the locker app from showing out at the running services?
screen lock security is must for my android phone how however there are few applications
I would like to have fast access for example TV remote control. I was wondering if there's any feature in Android applicationor app all that allow certain application to launch without first unlocking the screen...??
Something like this? (there are another apps to do this, you only need to search for them).
Hello, is there a app for android that can make certain apps uncloseable?
The thing is, I need a app, that will not allow a certain app to close without entering a password to close it, is that possible, and if it is, is there a app like that around?
Hello xda'ns
I am a licensed Cerberus (Anti theft app) user and was wondering if there is way we can integrate the app into an OS so that the app stays in its active form even if someone factory resets the phone.
Thanks!
