It is just three weeks that I got my Nexus One and I should say I really loved it. So I start writing applications that is useful for me and I think it could be useful for others, so I publish them (now just two) on the market.
This one is Dock Utility that currently support two actions:
Enable/Disable Wifi Hot-Spot when you put down (and pick up) the phone on Desk Dock. And Enable/Disable Screen/Keyboard lock on the same event.
You can of course choose with one you want to enable or disable. Just get the app from market ( it named "Dock Utility") and test it.
I have plan to add two widgets to this app to enable/disable hot-spot and lock from the home screen. Let me know what other features can you think of.
You definitely can guess that you need Froyo to run this.
Just saw this app on the market. Pretty sweet...
Very Nice
This is a nice little app.
New Features
I add some features to this app such as:
- Keep Display On
- Keep app in memory during dock ( to make sure it will do the job on the Undock, most of the things will done even if you kill the app during dock but not all of them )
- Disable Clock App.
For last feature, I prevented clock app to appear when you dock the phone, but still it show up when you push home button, any Idea how I can also disable that? I digged a lot in SDK, couldn't find a good solution, the only solution I've found is install a fake app to disable clock functionality.
New Release
A new version released, check the app's website for changelog.

You can also download the paid version which is no ads in google market.
Thank you all for your support!!!
If you have any advice, please let me know.
wow, easy app to use. working well on my atrix!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Can integrate a Master Lock logo or Visitor lock on the status bar. That would be much better.
Great apps dude. I love it.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Downloaded this app today and it works like a charm on my HTC Thunderbolt (Root with Liquid Thundersense v1.4)
Thanks for making an awesome and useful app!!!
downloading to try now... thanks man
This is such a great app, I love it. Brilliant concept and a simple design make it perfect.
If I had any suggestion it would be a widget to quickly toggle or an optional icon/toggle in the notification bar. Specific folders in the gallery (or specific folders in general) too as I don't mind people viewing most of my videos or pictures but I'm not all that innocent lol
Maybe if you're feeling really adventurous in the future a way to activate this remotely, either by text or PC would be imressive but now I'm just getting ahead of things.
It's wonderful how it is
Desire HD: Leedroid 3.0.3
This was exactly what i have been wanting for such a long time, thnk you!!!
Very nice app, runs great on Desire CM7
A cool feature to add could be the option to exclude apps from the drawer when in visitor mode, and also to hide/lock specific folders in gallery and SD-card
I've tried a few apps like this, and so far this is the only one that works properly. Thumbs up from O2X / MCR!
Probably the most useful app ever. Visitor/Master mode is rely a good feature that you've got right.
Congrats on a great app!
Awesome thanks! I used another one but it was really iffy, especially when locking the gallery. Sometimes after unlocking it wouldn't show the pictures or allow the camera to function. I love the Visitor/Master mode. Nice work!
Seems to work great!
I do have a question tho, isn't there supposed to be a gesture option to lock/unlock, Im only seeing the numeric and pattern...am I missing something? Either way seems to work really good so far, well done!
Great app!
I've had friends post embarrassing status updates on my Facebook page before. This should stop that from happening again.
My suggestion is changing the Master/Visitor icon a little bit, because it doesn't line up well with other icons.
Other than that, great work!
Great app - bought the app from the Market
Love it! Thanks!
Maybe I''m misunderstanding the setting, but 'permanently locked' and 'single locked' seem to be mixed up? Single makes us enter the password in each time using the app. Not a huge problem tho, awesome app.
Excellent App, this is what I had been looking for these days .. Thanks for the app
Very good, love it!
just found this app via xoomforums.com. ive got App Lock Free installed on my Xoom and i think i found a bug. it works great, i have the widget on my home screen and anytime i try and access of of the locked apps, i have to put in my pattern. the problems comes when i put my xoom on standby. when i pull it out of standby, the widget still says visitor mode, but when i press on one of the locked apps, it opens right away, no pattern needed. however, if i press on the app lock widget, the pattern request pops up. if i hit cancel, and then try to open one of the locked apps, the pattern request reappears. it seems the app is not activating when the xoom comes back from being on standby until you press the widget. did that make sense?
my xoom is unlocked and rooted with cybertronics 1.4 p8 kernel if that makes any difference.
I guess I am not the only one who likes to run my phone with nifty widgets like NoLock (screen lock suppressor) for quick access. The drawback is of course that the phone tend to lead a life of its own with accidental app launches.
Perhaps there is someone out there who could whip together a mod or apk that change the app launch behavior to require double tap, or is this launcher specific beyond fix?
Hi gang,
I've got an old android device running CM11 that I'm using mainly as an alarm clock.
I'd like to be able to run only the clock app (Gentle Alarm) .... and then if I want to use any other apps like email or whatever, I'd have to unlock the device.
A lock screen widget doesn't quite cut it, as I'd like the full functionality of the alarm clock app (or actually, *any* app I select, for that matter) available, but as soon as I click the home or back button, I'd be taken to my lock screen.
I could see this feature being useful for lots of reasons... say if I had a tablet as a remote control for the TV/stereo that guests could use, yet i didn't want them running other games or apps.
Is this possible?
Am I off my rocker?
So much easier than I thought..... Using CM12+ (Lollipop) I can "pin" an app which will enable it to be the only app which can run - switching to another app or going home presents the user with the lock screen. Perfect.
I feel like a bit of an idiot not realizing this was a built-in feature of the OS. But hopefully this info will help someone else along the way.........
Hi guys,
These apps i am about to introduce will change your phone experience for the better not just our phone for that matter but any Android phone.
1. Immersive Mode Manager(Paid)
This app is a must for every Amoled screen to protect your phone from future screen burn, the other thing is you get to enjoy the full screen experience with every app on your phone. I install this app on all of my Android devices.
I have created a thread long ago doing it manually but i think it's too much of work for people who want an app for that, if you want a manual free alternative check it out.
2. Fluid Navigation Gestures(Free/Pro Features)
This is my second go to app which i was introduced to recently. I will dare to say IMPO that it's the best custom gesture navigation app on Android currently.
By the way our Asus gesture navigation is not bad but i feel it's not polished yet. Also by using Fluid Navigation Gestures we can disable the navigation bar in the keyboard so that is a plus. So go ahead and give it a try.
3. JINA: App Drawer, Sidebar & Folder Organizer(Free)
This app is also a recent discovery and i highly recommend it. What the stock rom or custom rom for that matter lacks to date is the ability to access your apps form any app without going back to the Home launcher to access the drawer. With this app you can achieve that and then some more. The only downside of this app is that it's not noob friendly it will take you a lot of time to figure out all the features it has. The best thing about it you can customize every aspect of it and it's free.
4. Glimpse Notifications, Always On Edge - Edge Lighting or Glance Plus(Free/ Free / Free)
So to my surprise the ROG phone doesn't wake the device when you receive notifications like my previous HTC phone, but don't fret because here where Glimpse Notifications solves the problem that is if you just want the screen to simply light up. If you want more customization then the other two apps are great to check out.
5. Blokada(Free)
You must have an Ad blocker on the list if you are unrooted and definitely one of the best open source and free app out there is this one.
6. Popup Widget 3(Paid)
Now this app will get your phone setup to another level, instead of cluttering your homescreen with widgets how about hiding them and calling them when needed only either through your home launcher gestures or a shortcut sidebar ... . Pretty cool right!. Now this isn't a must have app but i had to mention it because it's absolutely amazing. I have an old video featuring it check it out.
-------
I will keep updating this thread once other apps are discovered or suggested.

*Launcher used: Nova Launcher
*Icon Pack: Pixel Icon Pack
Here is an updated video to showcase everything
Great List ! Much appreciated !
Thanks
Cool "A Liquid Cloud" live wallpaper. I bought the paid version to support the developer, but the free version is great.
Swiftkey Keyboard
Textra SMS
Firefox browser
I used to use a third party camera, but I like the default camera and love playing with Google Lens
I used to use Apex launcher, but they have gone downhill lately forcing bloatware on you. I might stick with the default. I like the default theme.
I have installed Immersive Mode Manager! Very cool!
is there any app or setting mod that allows can turn the RGB /aura lighting into a visualizer for audio/media playback ? like the audio visualizer chroma app available for razer chroma windows on windows platform ?
