AppLock is not at all 100% secure. Yes! you can bypass the no. 1 privacy locking software by just using the simple tricks given below. These tricks will work even if the Advanced Protection is enabled.

If Advanced Protection is enabled you can use Forgot Password or you can delete data files of AppLock Under /data/data to gain access of locked application. You can also use 3rd party applications like titanium backup to clear data, uninstall or freeze the app even when Advanced protection is turned on in the rooted devices.

You can't I bet ... Your settings also will be locked.. To clear your app data, you need to go inside your settings..

Yes i know if your settings is locked and there is no way to access your settings, then you can try the forgot password method.. Or for the rooted device you can try using the roit explorer method..

I have an app on my phone that I want to hard reset proof not just the apk (which ive already done) but the settings also. ive tried using root explorers and changing the permissions for the /data/data folders but that doesnt help, ive tried converting the user app to a system app AFTER I set up all my options, hoping that would save all my settings, and I tried changing the permissions of my "system" app to prevent any changes. no luck. ive been researching like crazy and I hope im not posting in the wrong forum but can someone explain how to make my app and its settings master reset proof? thanks a bunch!
btw I have a rooted tmobile samsung galaxy s3 (sgh-t999) with the latest android (4.1.1 using the root66 rom), with supersu and busybox if that helps. and if it works for my s3, would the same steps work on my note 2?
Are you putting your app into /system/app ?
Hmm ...

yes the app is in my system/app and it does survive a master reset but the settings of the app don't. Would I have to build a custom rom after installing the app and getting the settings all set how I want? Then If it's master reset it should save the settings, right?

Normally Android keeps app data under /data/data.
When you commit a hardreset, /data gets wiped. So all your app data gets removed.
You have to keep your app data under /system if you are the developer of that app

but wouldnt that folder then need to be moved back to data/data after the master reset for it to work correctly?

Depends on who the developer of that app is.
If it's not you, yes you have move that folder after every hardreset.
If it's you, I suggest you to use /system as your app data folder.
unfortunately I'm not the apps developer. However, if I created a custom rom by installing whatever room I wanted, then setting up the app as I want it, then creating a custom rom from that, then flash it, would that solve the problem? Because (if im understanding things right lol) then someone could matter reset it and it would revert to how the chain rom was when I flashed it, correct?
Suppose I am the developer of the app.

I'm already using a hardreset proof app on my note 2. It uses /etc folder to keep its app datas in a file. After hardreset it detects its data folder wiped, then restores settings from the backup file under /etc.
Of course your program will need root permission to do that.

can u describe how to do this in a bit more detail? Because I have an apk that I was able to put into the system/app folder, but would LOVE to save the settings so they are master-reset proof. I've contacted the developer but he was a bit of a jerk actually, saying I shouldn't need any reason to hard reset proof the apk..... ugh
From my experience, the avast! anti-theft app consist of 2 hard-reset proof part:
1. APK file in /system/app
2. Setting file (data) in /etc
Both survived hard reset...
The only way to get rid is via Aroma File Manager or flashing ROM.
Get titanium backup, backup all data of the app, and install the update. Then put the data back, if im correct settings would be copy pasted to this way. I use it for many system apps to get data back.
send from another universe, made possible by xda
If you are willing to learn how to script... it's all possible
I have done this before...
Use busybox commands...
Make a backup script that would back up all the user data in tar file.
Make a backup of apps you like to be restored on first boot of any rom.
on first boot let the script install the backed up apps, after install see if data exist for the package you just installed, get permission/owner of the package, restore data and apply permission to data.
i think is the basic
attached are the scripts i used to make this work on android 2.1
i even made a custom progress bar lol that used bootanimation as base...
.... copies custom bootanimation on start
.... copies custom boot sound...
.... restores wifi settings...
.... played music while restoring....
.... uses logcat as primary logging...
i am not sure if these scripts are the latest ones... but they worked at some point...
all was done in here...

Nahh... A root installation of Avast anti theft is like flashing it from CWM... It becomes a system app. A factory reset shouldn't usually delete it.
In Avast! Anti-Theft you need to Store Settings as well, not just Root install it.
In Advanced Setting you have Hard Reset Protection and option to Store setting and as well to test if stored setting are up to date.
Good luck!

You can use a program like Titanium Backup or Root Explorer but your phone needs to be rooted first.

Just root the phone and use Root Uninstaller pro or delete manually the apps you want using an explorer.

without root all you will be able to do is disable most of them. there are some apps that you will not be able to disable, the only way to disable or remove ALL system apps is to root and use an appropriate app as stated above.
Can you root the phone without first unlocking the bootloader and voiding the warranty? I'm thinking no but l'm new to this phone so I don't know.

No you cannot root without unlocking bootloader. Its like a choice, you want to stick to warranty or enjoy power features like removing bloatware!

Whichever apps that exist in your system partition!
The simplest way to check that is to open the app launcher tap and hold on the app, when icon becomes ready to dropped on homescreen
You can check the top of the screen if you see uninstall option, then that app can be uninstalled. If you see only app info then app cant be uninstalled
But if you open the app info you can disable the app. Disabled apps wont show in app launcher!

If I disable any app, it holds the ROM space, and many other apps are not possible to make disable.
I know that I will be able to uninstall any app after rooting. But I don't want to root my phone.
Is there any alternate option?

disabling will pretty much be your only option if you dont want to root. yes it does keep space on the phone. if you want to remove the apps completely to gain that space they only way would be to root

A few minute ago, I have found a way to uninstall those apps. I can uninstall most of them, but not the all.
Process:
Step 1: Select a specific app that you want to uninstall.
Step 2: Search whether the app update is available.
Step 3: If update is available, then update the app.
Step 4: Uninstall the updated app using any type of uninstaller.
I have been able to uninstall one app. But I have forgot to notice some important things.
The app is no more in my phone, but I am not sure about the ROM space.
If anyone have a unrooted moto G, I expect you to do the test, and share the result.

Which app did you unistall?
when you uninstall an APP being unrooted, it is impossible for the app to actually leave /system (ROM).
So may be the icon is deleted from the launcher, the app cannot go away! It will be listed in all apps section!
And if you are unrooted, why does the ROM space matter to you? Its not like you can add something in that space you just recovered?

Anyone know of a way to erase them from the phone? It's annoying they baked them into the phone and you can't use greenify or Moboclean on them. They are usually on my top list for the battery graph stats. I am not rooted so I'm sure my chances are slim. Any help would be grateful.

Yes, without root, you can only disable them either via that script or manually in Settings > Applications > App name
I accidently tapped a popup in Chrome (it had the interface of Android/Chrome, it wasn't a web popup), I'm not even sure I tapped on Ok or Cancel, because I was about to tap on something else, I have 4.4.4 and root; the question is: what could have gone wrong? Am I safe?
EDIT: I have that option to install from unknown sorce disabled.
try to scan with eset smart security (get trial) & avast smart security, after scanning keep one active in your phone, enable privacy guard as well from settings.
Thank you.
By the way I forgot to say I have that option to install from unknown sorce disabled.
I did a scan with both software and nothing was found.
Isn't there something that let me check what major changes were done to my phone?
Also what are the things a malware can do?
Subscribe me to some payment service, install some app, and what else?

Worse case scenario? You'll start seeing whole bunch of Gangnam-Style videos lol.
your safest bet is to backup your data, format all partitions (including /system) and reflash a rom.
