Everyone knows that feeling when someone asks to use your phone but you’re scared they’ll go through your phone’s content. Once you give them your phone, they are able to go through everything important to you, including your messages, your photos and emails. Imagine yourself jogging and a child comes up to you and asks to use your phone so that they can find their mother. You give them your phone, and after they call their mother they go through your photos. This is obviously a privacy concern, and it’s a wonder why there isn’t a way to avoid this. Modern day computers have a feature so that when someone asks to use your computer, they can’t go through your personal files, they’re all hidden. You would think that with the way technology is advancing in this day and age, smartphones would have this feature also. That’s why Obstructer was developed, to offer a solution to this problem.
When you first open Obstructer, it prompts you to set it as the default launcher. This is to ensure that the home button is disabled. The user is locked into the app and nothing is accessible, besides the calling feature, of course. When that person is finished with their call, a password prompt opens. When the correct password is entered (“1234” is the default), Obstructer is disabled and your phone is returned back to normal. It is a simple app to use, but helpful in a lot of ways. The free version includes all of these features, and the paid version adds a messaging feature, so that someone can send a message to someone without being able to see your messages. A photo feature is coming soon, so that you’ll be able to show someone one photo without them being able to scroll through your whole photo gallery.

One of my developer friend has developed an AWKING Awesome app for android accordingly it is designed by keeping Encryption in mind it uses AES 256 bit encryption Technique to encrypt you message and send it via Bluetooth (named as Neela Dant ) and user can send the encrypted message to another Android phone running Gingerbread and also to other non-android devices
it is available in market it is totally new concept request you to try it once and write review on market
here is some original words by developer Prankur Russia about app
KryptoRemote [its SMART :: Secure Messaging And Remote Terminal]!
KryptoRemote is a very simple and easy to use software suite consisting of three components:
1. vCrypt : Secret Messenger [via SMS]
2. vRemote: Control your device via SMS
3. NeelaDaant: Bluetooth Chat
Consider some scenarios:
- -Ever wanted to send a secret SMS to best friend?
- -Afraid if her roomies, folks, friends would read the SMS?
- -Hesitate to share your phone even with a very good friend, afraid he'd read your private conversations?
Presenting KryptoRemote!
Its ‘vCrypt’ enables you to encrypt the SMS you want to send with a pre-decided password.
And the recipient can decrypt it back to normal using the same password.
Featuring Rijndael/AES (considered to be one of the best encryption algorithm and used by CIA, USA for classified information), vCrypt is a very user-friendly and extremely useful app.
- Ever forgot your phone at home?
- Wanted some important contacts?
- Wanted all new SMSs forwarded to another number? Wanted to know how many calls you missed? Wanted to send an SMS from your phone? Wanted to switch profile to silent or others?
- Can’t find your phone and it’s on silent?
- Lost your phone and want to know its exact location?
- Wanted to know the battery info?
KryptoRemote is for you!
Using its ‘vRemote’ feature you can do all the above things and many more useful operations via a simple SMS.
In other words, you can control your phone, even if its miles away!
- Wanted to chat with best friend in class or library or you two are simply in different rooms? But she hasn't got a SMS pack!
Use the power of Bluetooth!
Using 'NeelaDaant' [Hindi word for Bluetooth, Neela means blue and Daant means tooth], you can chat through Bluetooth and that too for free!

Hi XDA community!
Our first app PhoneLeash is on the Android Market (free).

I like to call it the "misplaced phone app" since its meant for the more common occurrence of your phone simply not being near you, rather than being stolen.
PhoneLeash has features for finding your lost phone (or at least confirming where you think you left it) while also letting you know who is calling/texting meanwhile. Its not trigger happy (yet!) about wanting to wipe all the data the minute you see your phone isn't with you
We are trying to get the right balance of features, here is what we have now:
GPS locating
SMS/missed call forwarding to email or phone
Reply to SMS
Low battery alert
Remote ring
Privacy (no website tracking your phone)
Battery life -- after all you won't be using these features much of the time, so why have features that constantly drain your battery.
Unique feature - With PhoneLeash you can (remotely) reply to an SMS, and it goes out from your phone - the other side simply cannot tell the difference. While new and unique, we want to make sure we keep it simple to use. Speaking of simplicity, all of PhoneLeash fits in 1-2 spartan screens.
We've tested with Go SMS, Handcent to make sure PhoneLeash works with their default settings. PhoneLeash can also forward to HeyWire SMS numbers as well.
We found out that some tablets (Galaxy 8.9) do SMS but no telephony, so those are supported now as well.
If you can give it a try, we'll be very thankful. And ask for features - maybe they'll happen!
Thanks!

Here is a link and some screencaps of the new features in v 1.5
I am not a Twitter-user (tweeter?) but just used PhoneLeash to send in my first tweet from my phone. Sent this SMS from Google Voice to my PhoneLeash-ed phone-- "40404 here's a random tweet"--and by magic it showed up in my Twitter account!
on i 9000?
Is it available on samsung galaxy i 9000?
Very cool. I will test it out soon.

Main Features:
When in Emergency, press a single button to 'Initiate emergency'. This will send sms/emails to user's predefined emergency contacts with her GPS location details/ Google maps link.
While the emergency is in progress, user's emergency contacts can get her current location anytime by sending a simple sms (helpme_locate) to her phone.
Switches user's phone to silent mode as soon as she raises the emergency.
When anyone tries to stop the emergency, it requires a password. This is done to make sure only the user who raised the emergency can stop it.
If the user in in emergency but has got time to provide details, she can enter specific details about the situation and can even click a HIDDEN PICTURE of her surroundings from within the app. All these details are sent to the emergency contacts of the user by an Email.
If the user is abducted and her phone is taken away and switched off, whenever the phone is restarted (even with a different sim card), the app will send an sms/email to emergency contacts with current location details. All this is completely hidden and this sms will not be reflected in the user's sent messages.
While emergency is in progress, user's emergency contact can choose to receive a 20 sec audio recording from user's phone by sending an sms to user (helpme_audio <email id>). On receiving this sms, the app will silently record a 20 sec audio from user's device and send it to the specified email id.
