Hi, When I used miui I got build in app lock (It's like this apps: secure apps\apps lock\app protector)
I put a password and chose which apps I want to protect.
It's way better than any apk from the playstore, because you can't close it in the task manager.
Is there any mod\script for that? Maybe someone can make one ?
Someone?

My rooted wildfire worked fine and just out of nowhere this (see attachments) appears. I have no idea which app this is and I want to remove it. I coveres my screen and is really annoying.
Anyone has an idea which app or what this is it?
That is pretty odd. I'm not familiar with that particular widget. It looks like a System info Widget or something along those lines. There are 2 ways I would attack this, one is just long press on it and drag it over the trash, hold until it asks you if you want to uninstall. This should work if it is an app/widget that has been installed in the /data/app folder. I am not familiar with your phone, but if you are rooted, most likely your launcher has the hold over trash to uninstall option. If your launcher does not have that option, then I would install ADW or Launcher Pro, as they do. If the app/widget in question is installed in the /system/app folder, then it will not generally uninstall in this manner. But, you should at least be presented with the name of it and then you can install Titanium Backup and uninstall it with that app. All of the apps I have mentioned are either free, or have free versions in the Market. Hope this helps.
Well it's not an app or a widget. When I long press it, it justs ask me if I want to add something to the screen as if this thing never existed.
And this thing won't disappear when I'm using apps or doing anything.
edit: my first guess was that Taskpanel is causing this problem but after uninstalling it with titanuim it was still there
help me plz
edit2: found a way to get it off. used the app andoird tweak, setting, advanced setting, show procesor load (or something like that )
Hi guys,
I've been searching for a couple of hours now for a free app that is able to launch frozen apps from the home screen with a shortcut or something. The best i have found is 'hide apps - root' or 'HMA' as the icon says. It is able to launch the frozen app then rehide it after use. I just wanted to know if there is an app like this one so that i can put a shortcut on my home screen and launch it from there instead of opening the app, finding the frozen app then launching it.
Just so you don't think i'm up to no good, it is for some apps that use memory in the background no matter what setting i choose in the apps themselves
Thanks

Basically no. I'm surprised there is even an app that will unfreeze, run the app, and refreeze afterwards. Once its frozen its equivalent to uninstall it, therefore a shortcut is not possible.
What is the full app name available for download from the market (Google play)? Maybe I can research it and find a way to make custom shortcuts for your needs.
The app is by the maker of 'root unistaller' (which also is able to launch frozen apps) and is called hide app - root, its just a trial. Hide it pro is also able to do it
That would be great if you could have a look. I don't have that much of an idea on how to do that

I'm also very surprised that such an application exists. Doesn't such a thing require a reboot since freezing an app removes all associations between the app and the system?
what about Autostarts, Its an app that you pick which apps you want to start automatically.
i dont know how freezing works but i dont think it changes much in the file system.
i was looking around with root explorer in data/app and my frozen apps were still in there. and they also appear in the setting/applications just a bit fainter than the rest.
Not really the right kind of app. i want one to launch frozen apps, not see what apps are auto starting, but that app might help speed up my phone thanks
Titanium Backup has the ability to frozen the app. You can make an shortcut to titanium backup, that you can switch from frozen to unfrozen.
But it`s not automatically :-/

Please, I really need this mod.
I want to lock certain apps on my phone away from meddling hands (can anyone say frape?) but looking through the Play Store all I see is tons and tons of ugly, bloated POS that ask for loads of permissions that this type of app has no business asking for - location? Camera? Er, no thanks.
Anyone using a beautiful resource and permissions-light, minimal-looking app lock to protect their other apps?
EDIT: Also it needs to lock apps the instant someone tries to launch them - and not show the app on screen for half a second before the lock is applied over the top of it.
Looking for an app that allows me to hide an app (Lets call it "Q") from the system, maybe in such a way that it doesnt appear to be installed either, is this possible? (i have root).
And I also want to password protect Q, all password protectors i find just popup a screen with a enter password-request whenever Q is opened, but Q is very clearly visible with its contents on the multitasking menu of the Galaxy S5, and this isnt good enough.
Its would also be a bonus if the app will not allow itself to be un-installed.
I want real security on this application. Military style. Willing to pay for it.
Does anyone have any tips?
As for app locking, I'd highly recommend AppLocker. Very secure, very reliable, just plain good all around.
As for app hiding, I'm not aware of any apps that do this. However, if you'd like to have it available on your homescreen, many custom launchers (like ADW) offer app shortcut label and icon changing. For example, I use ADW Launcher with the Minimalist theme, and I have my email app password-protected and labelled "Light Bulb" with an illuminated light bulb as the custom icon.
Hope this helps! And if it does, don't forget a thanky!
Get Hide it pro from play store. It has an option to hide apps using root and it won't even show up under Apps in settings.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unfortunately AppLocker is the first app i tried out. This just pops up a window infront of the screen whenever it notices that Q is open, but it doesnt really help when the recent apps list is up, all the contents are easily visible from the menu :/
When it comes to hiding Q, I was hoping i could make it dissapear from the "Installed applications" list in settings->Applications menu.
If someone steals the phone from me, they are not supposed to be able to find out that this particular app is installed.
Its already hidden from app drawer and is password protected. But if anyone checks the list of actually installed applications, it shows up there, and it also shows up in recent apps list. I want it to vanish
