I have used es security manager in the past and it worked well but recently I tried and it doesn't seem to work at all. Does anyone know of an app that will allow me to be able to lock out certain things. Particularly interested in pass coding my gallery and messaging app. Thanks guys.

I use "App Protector". Works well.. I can set either a numerical password, or pattern password on whatever apps I choose to. Lots of customizable options as well..

Is there a way to disable the automatic screen rotation for specific applications? I thought I'd seen a settings app that did this, but haven't been able to find it on xda or anywhere else. Are there per-application settings that control rotation or is it just the global setting that's available? I've seen mention of doing this by editing an app's manifest.xml file, but am not sure if this can be done if all I have is the apk or not...
Yes i too would love and app that does this. Hope someone writes one soon
still looking for this :/
Its called PerApp... ill post a link soon

One solution...
I recently discovered the Xposed Framework and am using the App Settings module within it to control a variety of per-app settings, including orientation.
Ok. I downloaded a free App Locker from the market. I believe it was S.A. App Locker. But then I got a diff App Locker cause i wanted to lock a few personal files. So i go to delete it from the apps menue. I noticed it wasnt there. Had no clue where it was at. But then i found it in my DL File Manager i believe. It was like hide for sum reason. So i deleted it. But its still present lockin my text and personal files. So its like a double lock on the same things i want to lock. I took the App Lock off that i want to currently use and the other Lock App is still locking the files. So im wondering is there some where else that i can look to delete this file or will i have to do another full wipe to get rid of it ?
no one has any info..?
Did you try contacting the developer of the app?
You might also want to clear defaults amd settings throuh the app manager.

Close Market from Tasker and re-download.
Hey guys, anyone aware of an app that I could activate via a screen gesture or combo of hardware keys/widget that will allow me to quickly do that gesture or button combo and will hide all of my texts, and emails, and photos?
On my jailbroken iphone I was able to use Activator and an app called HideEmAll from cydia to swipe over my notification bar and it would hide all of that data until I swiped again and entered my password. I haven't found anything similar for Android is anyone aware of such software or an alternative to doing what I am asking? It was also nice that it simply vibrated for a second so I knew it activated it but Noone else could tell anything happened.
Thanks

You should try app locker.
hmm well maybe not perfect but try hide it
aka audio manager http://www.appbrain.com/app/hide-it-pro/com.smartanuj.hideitpro
just found something called shady sms looks good for you and it had a list of in the description Blackbook, SPC, Blacklist, Redlist, My Calculator, Private SMS/MMS Box, Fox Private Message, Horizon, Locky, Hide Text & Call logs, Conspirator, or CATE Call and Text Eraser
good luck ^_^
Thanks for the suggestions friends. I have looked into both of those as well and do what I'm trying to do.
I think maybe there is not a very close app for what I'm wanting by the way of activating it discretely from the lock screen. ie. By way of screen gesture or hardware key combos. Or perhaps I should try the above suggestions in conjunction with widget locker. Hmm will try later today and report back!
Thanks again

Is there any apps that are like "wheres my droid" but able to hide themselves from the UI "i would assume its not possible to hide it 100%" since other tools can see the process. but like just to hide it from the average user?
You could run another launcher and hide it from the app drawer that way. I'd say most people around here customize their launchers anyway.

decent start, how would one go about hiding it from the built in uninstaller? if this is possible. the main concern is someone uninstalling it. the average user would just use the default installer/launcher hiding from those 2 specific thing would ensure a much higher success rate of recovery.
seekdroid, you can hide it from the website, after a reboot, it's gone, other than under uninstall. But it takes a couple steps to uninstall it.
thanks ill check it out.
works flawlessly and exactly what i needed. i sent a request asking for the hide feature to relabel the APK with a new icon and rename the process. that would ensure true stealth if the phone enters the wrong hands unless they perform a complete wipe.
Avast anti virus has the feature your looking for. Anti theft that hides itself. Its free in the play store.

Android 4.3 has a hidden part of the settings that allow you to turn individual permissions on and off for apps.
You can get to it from some existing apps, but I've built a simple app that directly launches that screen.
You can get it for free here.
Just installed.
Works exactly as you say!
Review left on playstore for you.
