Hello,
This may be an obvious questions, but I'm struggling to find information on what this feature is.

I thought it worked like pinning an app used to in previous versions of android, but this seemingly does nothing. I can still swipe away locked apps.
Searching for an answer brings up app pinning (aka kiosk mode - where a pin code is required) and the Good Lock app.
Android 11
ASUS ROG Phone 5
Stock ROM
Thank you
App Pinning is not enabled by default, App Lock keeps the app just where it is, it won't be cleared, swiped out, or gone without you unlocking it, even if you rebooted the device, it'll be there.
That's the superpowers of App Lock. The app can be killed, and normal battery optimisation runs on it, it'll just remain on recent apps screen, whether it is dead or alive.

What I'm saying is that App Lock does not prevent swiping away the app. Here's a video showing just that.
Edit: Added a better video
The application won't be closed when you clear all other applications from your memory.

Hmm that seems to be the case. So it prevents clearing with the "Clear all" button but can still be swiped away. That's not very useful, unfortunately.

It cannot be swiped away for me either.

Hi there. Recently, ads that look like the image above have been popping up insistently on my phone. Every single time i pick it up after an interval, the ad pops up and takes up the whole screen, unless i click "no, thanks" or "Back" or "Home" it won't go away.
I'm getting very frustrated and i have uninstalled about 90% of my apps. I installed cleanmaster to clean my system cache to get rid of any unwanted files and i run it all the time. I've also tried all the ad blockers/detectors on the play store but they cannot detect any sign of malicious software.
Any advice? I would really hate to do a factory reset but i would like to know the cause of the problem, if it's an app. What's the point of having an android if i can't install any apps?!
Any ideas on how i can get to the root of the problem? It's frustrating as f***.
what happens if you press the recents button? does it show any app or just not respond?

It opens a webpage. One of those annoying "contest" websites where you are asked to do quizzes or enter your number to win a prize.

And what about the other 10%? Check all your apps...
Have you rebooted after uninstalled the others?

Hum... It's on your side, not Android... You obviously downloaded something...
It's an app for sure, but we cant help you unless you show us the list of your remaining apps.
When you find it, just uninstall it. No need to clear cash or anything, it wont make a difference anyway. And if you got it from google play, you should report it since it is against their guidelines. https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479847?hl=en
If it is not from the play store e.g. some pirate app, I dont feel sorry for you... If it's a legitimate app from outside the playstore you should raise your concern with the developer.
I'm using a rooted stock 4.4.2 Nexus 5 and messed something up. The phone works fine but when I reboot I get the pop-up attached. Despite this everything works fine.
I know it is something I did by either disabling or freezing some built-in app or preventing it from starting at bootup, but how do I find out which "process system" is the one not responding so I know what to undo?

Just unfeeze them all. Then freeze them one by one....wait a bit to know all is well, and freeze another.
Or print screen your frozen apps and let's look?
If that's even the cause.
Isn't there a simpler way by using some logging device that would tell what the problem is? I just don't know how to do that.

Log cats, if you know how to read them. Not that I really do. But maybe something would be obvious.
You probably froze or stopped something from starting that you shouldn't have tho. Just undo your changes to ones you're not sure of.
I don't see a need to stop most system apps from starting tho....you won't gain anything by it. Aside from Google things, or weather apps. Not sure your motive???
Narrowed it down. It's not anything I froze or disabled. After a lot of testing and trials I discovered that the only thing that prevented the pop-up appearing at bootup was if I disabled xprivacy and because the problem is only recent I suspect it is in the latest update. Will check with them.

I have the same problem and I also use xprivacy.
It was some permission I had blocked in some app. I can't tell you which app or which permission because I finally "cleared all xprivacy data" in xprivacy menu and reblocked permissions as I was asked in each app. Sort of like starting from scratch but it was worth it because it solved the problem.
Hope that helps.
If you find which permission it is let me know.
This is pretty messed up. On airplane mode. Running greenify.

Yet your battery still looks to be very close to full (actually, it looks like it's full). 85.7% of jack squat is jack squat.
Point is it kept it awake the entire time I was in a movie with the phone on airplane mode.
Always in search for app updates!

Definitely needs to be an easier way to stop it.

can't just ''Force close at application list ? '' I've tried that one and my task manager did not saw it or just try to find some app blocker when airplane is for special profiles/modes etc. Did not get in deep enough to just understand but mostly as he said ''Finding all time updates'' when i do not use it, i just disable google updates and when i need then just simply enable them.
Hope this could help you !
Fyi - Maybe Some task killlers may do this the same while blacklisting them

just freeze it. you can use several apps to freeze google play and google play services. as for me my favorites are Link2SD and LuckyPatcher. everytime you have to go to the movies just quickly freeze it (and reboot if want to make sure).
When I turn the phone off and back on it wants my password instead of a fingerprint... is this happening with you guys? The fingerprint only works AFTER the password has been put in if rebooted..
Also I am getting a weird error message saying "all apps associated with this action have been turn off, blocked, or are not installed." I do use package disabler pro, but everything I disabled was the same stuff I disabled on my s6... anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?
Last thing is the message that pops up saying my SD card is inserted, anyway to get rid of that so it doesn't pop up every reboot?

Firstly the password is normal. There's a quip on there about it being safer that way. I also found if you install greenify and allow it administrator access you can't do fingerprints anymore either. They just upped the security. That's all.
Secondly you probably disabled something , as it sounds like you already know. Lastly that's normal. Guessing it's like the s5 popups that seemed to never go away

Meh... kinda sucks...
Any clue what I might have disabled to cause that? Or am I going to have to go through it one by one.. :'(
Nevermind I got it. It ended up being game launcher which I checked by accident. Hopefully root happens soon to disable that SD card thing cause that's annoying.
Agreed. Glad you found it!

Me too!
One more thing, though. Anyone have any idea of how to add the temperature (weather) to the lock screen? My S6 had the time and a little icon showing what the weather was...
I had recently tried parental controls in Redmi 4a and then also stopped the supervision and removed the respective application it installed. But after that, when I try to open WhatsApp it shows that "This action is disabled. Contact your organisation's administrator to find out more."

If I click on "More details" then "Device administration settings" opens and I had already disabled all of them ( Only 2 of them were enabled : Find My Device and Screen lock service ).
Screenshot :-
I had also restarted the phone multiple times and also deleted WhatsApp cache ( which maybe was completely irrelevant though ).
What should I do now?
App Lock? Folder Lock (available on Pleystore)?
If you have root then freezing wapp with sdmaid app will remove the wapp icon from the app drawer, once you need it back you can enable it using sdmaid and also after freezing wapp you can lock the sdmaid app using built in app lock feature. You can also simultaneously freeze an additional app called Contacts Storage when you are not using your phone so that no one can see your contacts even if they have access to your phone.

I hadn't used App lock or anything like that. The new problem I found is that if I clear data of MIUI Launcher from settings, in device administration settings, find my device and service lock service automatically get enabled.
And also it's not rooted.
