Hi, i have a really urgent question, first the little explaining
i'm buying android phones to the employees, i know that we can lock a certain app with (well) another app, but i need to lock just some process, like only the mobile networks and gsp settings, but let them configure the sounds and notifications....
Is there any app that can do this??? or a way to do it with scripts or something like that???
Thanks...

Hi to all,XDA developers !
i'm curious to make app that will not be seen by user in his/her mobile.. that would start on Boot. and will not be visible in android uninstall list as well !!
need help of you guys...

If you install it in /system/app/
it shouldn't be visible in 3rd party uninstallers.
If you use Settings->Applications->Manage it's still visible.
how to hide it in "If you use Settings->Applications->Manage " ?
any trick ?
Are you trying to write some kind of malware?

Not that intention ! want to us it for 1app.
This seems pretty shady. I don't see why you would need to hide the application from the user's Application List.
...and you want it to run on boot? Hmm...
malware .. spyware .. **** lol ..
nope... ne idea ?
i got solution.....
How did you manage it?
I have an App which I'm wanting to do the same with (LocatorPro - to find phone if stolen)

Regardless of what you intended on producing...I don't understand why NOBODY has actually given you a proper answer.
I think you asked a critically smart question...as I am a new member...I joined this forum ONLY because I was looking for the answer to this question.
I am not a developer (even though I would love to learn)... but I need to know how to discreetly add apps.
The Story:
I have installed a spy app on another phone of mine. (SmsBox)
I need to hide that software completley from the list of apps AND from the "Manage Applications" list in the settings.
I want it to run in the background constantly and do what it already does.
IF someone has a solution for me...(or gets an idea on producing a new app with this feature)...please let me know.

I found this thread also looking for some way to hide (maybe disguise and lock) locator apps.
I think it would be really useful to hide anti thieves apps. They're almost useless if anybody can just take a look at the apps list and throw em away.
I've been looking for an app with that feature (among others) with no luck (Watchdroid the closest, but can be removed along its disguise and password protection).
So... any advice?
Thanks
You could write a text-mode application and just compile as a bare executable (not an apk). Just add that to your startup script (does android use init.d?), and it will be invisible to most people. You'll need root, most likely. (might be able to push over adb, then run via shell. Not sure what the permissions are on some things).

Avast anti-theft can be hidden from launcher, disguised in settings and survive a factory default wipe on a rooted phone.
I remember seeing this app somewhere, but now that I have a need for it, I can't find it! Can anybody help me out?
It allowed you to have two profiles, one for you and one for anyone else who happened to use your phone. If someone messes up the lockscreen code, it would allow them to use the phone, just not have access to certain apps, files, etc.
You guys know what app I'm talking about?

You can try smart app protector. I think it can lock processes.
Thanks, but it only locks apps, it lock all settings, any other ideas???

Hi guys,
I'm only asking for this app due to a massive security breach of my emails and Facebook account after my phone got stolen at a cinema. The app requested is a security app which the person can set the app to have 3 people's handphone numbers which they would receive a specific code and instruction (e.g. 123456destroy) which would corrupt all data inside the phone and trigger a hard brick. The app should be factory reset proof
Sorry if I sound a bit too demanding but I'm still very worked up.........yep.
there r anti-theft apps with data wipe option, isn't that enough?

Look man
They stole my phone
I'm gonna give them sh*t
The system corruption prevents them from selling it.
I'm sorry for your loss.
And what would happen if someone you sent the code to activated it for a really **** joke? Personally, I think it'd be better if you could activate the app when you download/install it then brick the device via a website yourself to save complications.
Sorry to hear you lost your phone though

no the whole point is that you don't tell anyone except yourself the code until you lose your phone
here are programs/ apps (e.g. airdroid) which can access your device as long as it is connected to a cellular or broadband network or internet portal. With airdroid, for instance, you can install apps, screw with files, and do whatever you could from the device remotely. Just a thought.

Sorry to trouble you, but could you tell me an app that allows remote screwing of root files like /system by SMS remote commands?
Hey. I was wondering if changing an app name would help bypass certain other apps that look for and block said apps. Its mainly to bypass gamevil games and most other games that force you to connect to the net so they can check for these apps. Im assuming they mainly check for the app name and anything else as an identifier, so if I was able to change these it should in theory work as a work around yes? Any other ideas are also welcome so please don't hesitate to add anything insightful and meaningful. Thank you in advance. :fingers-crossed:
