I know of a few apps that do this for example an app called hide it pro. I hides behind an app called audio manager and in order to get to it you have to do a long press on the title and enter a pass word to open the app. the app doesnt show in your app tray or anything and the audio manager actually can control your volume and everything.
well I was about to take a pic with my girls phone and noticed a random app called magnifier. when you open it it just goes to a crappy camera app with no special features. the app doesnt show in the app drawer nor does it show in google play ass downloaded. I even checked in the app manager and still nothing. anybody know anything about this or heard about this? i even googled it and there is no such app with that same icon picture.
Sorry if I sound silly, but have you even tried asking your girls? Cause they should know...

Hey guys, anyone aware of an app that I could activate via a screen gesture or combo of hardware keys/widget that will allow me to quickly do that gesture or button combo and will hide all of my texts, and emails, and photos?
On my jailbroken iphone I was able to use Activator and an app called HideEmAll from cydia to swipe over my notification bar and it would hide all of that data until I swiped again and entered my password. I haven't found anything similar for Android is anyone aware of such software or an alternative to doing what I am asking? It was also nice that it simply vibrated for a second so I knew it activated it but Noone else could tell anything happened.
Thanks

You should try app locker.
hmm well maybe not perfect but try hide it
aka audio manager http://www.appbrain.com/app/hide-it-pro/com.smartanuj.hideitpro
just found something called shady sms looks good for you and it had a list of in the description Blackbook, SPC, Blacklist, Redlist, My Calculator, Private SMS/MMS Box, Fox Private Message, Horizon, Locky, Hide Text & Call logs, Conspirator, or CATE Call and Text Eraser
good luck ^_^
Thanks for the suggestions friends. I have looked into both of those as well and do what I'm trying to do.
I think maybe there is not a very close app for what I'm wanting by the way of activating it discretely from the lock screen. ie. By way of screen gesture or hardware key combos. Or perhaps I should try the above suggestions in conjunction with widget locker. Hmm will try later today and report back!
Thanks again

+2 for shadysms ....
Gosmspro has a private folder...
I've been searching for an app that would cycle between a number of applications, but I can't seem to find one, or I'm not searching with the right key words.
The functionality I'm looking for is to be able to display a list of applications (like,a weather app, a specific web page, a clock app, local traffic app, email app, facebook app, etc) and select a number of seconds to display each and then rotate to the next app. Thought is to have that rotating app running on my tablet sitting on my desktop.
Is there such an app around?
Thanks!
did you find anything yet?
Sounds more like a windows 7 thing. Like live tiles?

Hi just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this random menu bar that's appeared on my phone? I've closed all applications with es task manager and it's still there. I'm running Jellybeans on a galaxy note 2
If anyone can direct me where to get rid of it would be most appreciated.
Cheers guys!
Do you mean the bar on the side with the icons?
I think the phone has TSF shell launcher, try a launcher like apex or nova

If that doesn't work you can try this app
I had a app popup as the playstore, and it was a spam type popup from an app i installed a long time ago, DOWNLOAD AIRPUSH detector also as a double check if experience any abnormal popups to your GUI . it found the app and i uninstalled it ASAP (it was a workout app)
That popup is not abnormal, it is a feature of the last update. It's called multi-card, and allows you to manage 2 or more applications simultaneously on the screen; if you drag one of the icons on the desktop it opens the corresponding application, and if you drag another will open the new application under the one that is opened before
That's amazing cheers guys! It was properly bothering me becaues it would pop up every now and then and I didn't know why!
Is it possible to add other applications to the selection to use in multi windows?

No, for now, the apps supported are only the ones you see
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.

So i have this Live Wallpaper Anime app and it asks me for permission on a button.
Nothing happens when i press it. How does live wallpaper work there anyways?
I havent seen any option to set one yet.
What happens when you go into the app info of that app and check the permissions of it through there?
Is it asking to enable a certain permission that you can just do yourself?

There is only Notifications though
I am not sure but I am assuming something might be wrong with the app. Or maybe after installing you just need to open the app again. It shouldn't be a part of the settings of the phone but it's own separate app.
I have a video to live wallpaper app and it works great. I open the app and it makes me select a video I want and then the app gives me the option to apply.
