My kids pick up my device and love to play games. That all fine except sometimes they click my mail or other apps. Is there a way to put lock screen on some apps, or all apps except X app etc? Maybe have a folder on the lock screen for apps that can be in a sandbox/ available to use without lock screen?
Of course there's a security aspect in that once someone is in they can move elsewhere so it needs to be a quarantined area.
Or add a second layer of security for some apps.
Anyone?

Is there an app folder that can categorize apps? Just like Iphone 4, where you drag the app to the folder, it automatically categorize it, so as to save space... Thanks
Where are you looking for this folder to be? Home screen? Application drawer?

I use ADW Home, and there's a great new feature where you can categorise your app drawer... basically means you can hide stuff you don't want to see... you can't just hit one folder to see the hidden stuff, it's like press munu, then activate a different drawer group, but it's easy enough.
There are also some aps out there that do what you want, but I can't say what they are, nor have I used them.
i have ihome, this app mimic the iphone 4, the folder feature is very disappointing. but atleast its there...(no auto cate on droid.)
the home screen is 89% like iphone. atleast they gives you the iphone homescreen only it isn't smooth as.
Try FolderOrganizer

Home screen, just like ICr*p 4 when you tap on the folder, the sub-folder appears.
You can add folders on the home screen just like widgets then drag the applications inside it.

There is an app I think called apps organizer that lets you categorize apps, then you can add widgets to you're screen that look like an app shortcut, for a particular category, and when you tap it a folder with shortcuts to all apps in that category opens. I think it is apis organizer, I will go check in market. I had it before the last time I reset and debranded, actually never thought to reinstall it until just now.

Is there a way to categorize apps into folders Within the App drawer?
i dont really like cluttering up the homescreens but i would like to neaten up the app drawer as its full of crap that i hardly ever use but would still like to keep on the phone (google goggles, wikitude, google skymap) things like that
I use the feature in adw. The only improvement I would like to see is an easier way to switch drawers, perhaps icons at the top or bottom of the app drawer.

Just saw this one... try "App Categories" ... never used it but remembered this post
Hello guys,
I'm looking for an app that would automatically unlock my lockscreen. I tried the "myLock Auto Unlock" but it lags when I try to automatically unlock the lockscreen.

There's an app called NoLock, which disables the lockscreen completely.

Featured TODAY from Lifehacker, what a coincidence :
http://lifehacker.com/5713691/no-lock-turns-off-androids-slide+to+unlock-gesture
If you're entirely confident in your pockets, your purse, or your butt being unable to accidentally dial people or launch loud apps accidentally, go ahead and grab No Lock. The Android app simply disable's Android's slider-based lock screen.
And that's the only thing it does, really, replacing the usual slide gesture with a simple button to tap. As Download Squad points out, the very nifty Tasker app can disable the lock screen, and even do so under just certain times or conditions (among many other things), but this app requires much less work.
No Lock Turns Off Android's Slide-to-Unlock GestureIt's a free download for Android phones, available in the Market, and you can scan the QR code at left to grab it.

Hi everyone ,
This is my first time here so hopefully I can get some help.
Every time I turn on my tab I get app pop ups on my home screen and also automatically apps are saving to my pages, I've gone through my settings and checked to see if I have anything turned on that shouldn't be, if someone could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated as it's really starting to annoy me.
Cheers Headman

It's a rogue app the causes that. It contains adware and spyware by changing your homepage (monitor what you search), constantly adds search icon on homescreen and comes up with annoying ads in both the notification bar and by pop ups.
Run this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector&hl=en
And remove those apps.

Agreed, my fiance had one in her phone and it would push notifications, pop-ups, all sorts of invasive stuff. I wanna say she used an app "installer" ( like the ones found in 4shared), which was what installed the "rouge" app.

I'm using cm10.1 on my who 4g lte and want to know if there is a way to lock created groups on my phones home screen. I created a category of financial apps, each credit card etc, and would like to lock that one particular group. Possible? If not I like the idea

App locker apps
If you want to lock all your personal things then for this you have to download App locker from your Company App 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.
