What are the best apps to hide certain apps from being seen/found? Same with pictures, vids, maybe even texts? Probably 1 app cannot do this all so if you know them, post them!
Compiling a list of the best apps of all categories for android, so help out the community and leave some names and a quick reason for its pros/cons over other apps!
Thanks!
Do you have videos or pictures you want to hide to your girlfriend?
do you mean "of" or "from"?
Titanium backup pro let's you freeze an app making it invisible and non functioning, just unfreez it and it works and the icon will return

bump! i know some of you have these!
Put a dot . in front of the folder names of the 'dirty' folders.
search for Hide it Pro in the market
what does putting a dot in front of it do?
It hides it. The folder can't be accessed from the gallery app, and it's hidden in the file manager until you check "show hidden files".
This also works in Windows and Ubuntu (Ubuntu = CTRL + H)

Wow That's interesting
shady SMS
it overrides all the sms system while letting everything like it should be ....
but it create a secret contact list and text or call from the people in that list get intercepted by shadysms .... call still go through though ... but the call history will not show it!
you can access your secret SMS from your hidden contact list by dialing "123" on the dialer =)
there is no icon of this app... can only be access by dialing "123" or whatever you set to after....
best app to keep your girlfriend
I tried Shady but I ended up going with My Calculator. Its actually called My Private Messages but everywhere (from the Market to your downloaded app list) it is reffered to as My Calculator as to not attract any wandering eyes. The app is nothing fancy from a UI perspective, but as far as keeping incoming and outgoing texts from others, this thing rocks.
It is a calculator that functions as a normal calculator until you type in your passcode followed by "+,=". It then takes you to a hidden inbox where messages from your selected contacts will land when they text you. You will know you have received a new text when a notification of your choice pops up in your status bar. I use the default one which reads something like, "A wireless network was found".
If you are looking for simple, tried, and true with out anything flashy, check this thing out.
One addition I would say would be useful is the ability to send all messages from unknown senders who arnt on your contact list to the hidden messages box, that way if you ever get a random text it would go straight there. Or has this already been done.
Does anyone use a Photo/Video vault that leaves the files it hides in basically the same location?
My external SD is bigger than my internal one. HideIt Pro would be just the ticket if it didn't insist on transferring my videos from the external to the internal SD when it hides them.
Encryption is preferable but not necessary. I just don't want one like GalleryLock that basically just changes the directory/file extension without even altering the filename.
I may have to go back to using my old two-app combo of Photo Vault & Video Vault, but I hate their UIs.
Dear Android application developer,
I want to know current messages in notification bar in Android. But, using the notification API only me to get my messages and systems.
Do you know how I can intercept notifications of other applications?
Thanks.

The only way I know to do this is with the accessibility service with an event type of 64 you can monitor as new messages come in and get the text from them.
HTC phones have an intent for when notifications are added and removed from what I remember, but not other makes.
[Q] Secretly Saving SMS & Call Logs without any notification on the notification bar.
Hi Team,
Wanted to know which application is there in Google Play store which can secretly save the text messages and call logs of the Phone without the user who actually is using the phone. Secretly means no notifications should be shown on the status bar and it should run on the background.
For e.g. If parents want to give their child a phone and want to keep an eye on them, then they can install this application so that even if child deletes the contents of SMS/Call logs, then also parents would come to know what they had been doing as the contents of the SMS along with other necessary information would be saved by the application on the device.
If there is no such app yet developed by anyone then would request you to have a look into the same.

LBE guard and see fr ur self?
I find it hard to believe that nobody thought this was a necessary feature, so it must be a restriction of the OS.
I don't want to archive my 2FA texts from various services, or SPAM, or provider notifications indicating that I've entered an extended coverage area.
I just want to delete them directly from the notification bar.
Yet, there isn't a single app I've found that allows this.
There are several e-mail programs that let you do this, but not text messaging apps.
You have to open the app and delete it from there.
Why is that?
Is anyone working on this?

So, knowing Google, they won't make their own desktop client for messages for web. Most people may be fine just pinning the tab in their browser or using the page shortcut method. I, however, am not, because I feel these things are lacking in some pretty basic features that can only come from a native application, such as minimizing to the system tray, start on boot, and reply to the message from the notification. Basically, the hope is to basically just embed their page into an Electron app (or something) and then use that app as the middleman. It would intercept the notifications, generate it's own native notification with the ability to reply to the message from within the notification on supported systems (Windows 10 can do this, don't know about OS X though).
Anybody up for the challenge?
