Is there any way to put a password on the messages app or in some other way password protect the sms messsages? Running DC 3.2.3
Thanks.
Sorry about the double post. Someone please delete one of them. Thank you.
You can if you run es file manager and es security manager. Both are free from the market. The security program will allow you to password protected any app on your phone.

Handcent will do it or a app called protector

Is it possible to delete the app "messaging" but not mess up being able to actually text?
Here is my scenario I use handcent to text and they have an option to blacklist (hide) messages from certain people. However the app "messaging" which comes with the phone still shows them! Can I get hide that app? I am have the epic experience with the emotionless beast on my phone.
I couldn't find the app in root explorer either to rename it!
Any ideas?
it's in your system/app directory it's called MMS.apk. you can back up and unistall it with sdx stock app uninstaller and see if everything still works ok. If you have any issues then you can just restore it.

I usd sdx stock app to remove the orignal one in order to put on an mms.apk that allows me to have a maximum 5M mms size. If i delete it after i just put it on wont it remove the feature?
I will try it in a bit anyways though and let you know the results
EDIT: It didn't work,by getting rid of it I can still sms but my mms is completely disabled which makes sense. Thanks anyways for the idea though
Any other suggestions please

I could have told you wouldn't be able to send or receive mms
Just use launcher puerto and hide the stock app on the draw. I believe theres other apps that do this also.

No the issue isn't getting double notifications. I need the app removed or hidden. The messages that I hide in handcent are still visible in messaging, thats the problem.
Use shadysms.

I know apps like handcent u can use to lock but I need one that locks the normal messeging application. Also one that will stay locked when I use an app killer. Does anyone know one? Thanks

app protector
I use ChompSMS as my message app. It can look very stock and has plenty of features for locking messages. In regards to the app killer, just go in to the app killer menu and exclude your messanger.
Good luck

Use TextSecure.
Using app protectors or whatever is like locking a bank vault with a zip tie.
TextSecure is the real deal.
Try Shady SMS it only opens with a password from you dialer and stays secure

Doesn't a screenlock do the job?

Use Handcent SMS it will do the job for you...
@ hawks the screenlock does the purpose but I can't stop ppl from using my mobile but if I hv a sms lock atleast I can prevent them from sneaking in.
Does any have any app that can help me password protect my sms. And as well not degrade the performance.

If that's the case try handcent as sphuyal recommended

@hawk handcent is a entire new sms app. I want the same messaging app but once someone tries to open it he need to enter the password b4 proceeding. I have tried ( as I REM zdbox ) one but it slows down my DHD performance.

Handcent also enables a sms lock for the standard Message app from HTC. (and it probably does this for every app that can acces text messages)
When you want to open the standard message app with handcent installed (and a lock enabled), you will have to unlock it as well.
So you can just install it and disable notifications in handcent, so you won't notice handcent is installed and use it only for the lock system.
Hi all,
Is there any good ROM like CoreDesireHD 5.2 which provide you with "Secure Message" option which allows you to protect your SMS and mms with password.
Thanks.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
im not sure about ROMs, but i use Seal, its kinda nice!
You can choose which programs you want it to lock with a password
Thanks for the suggestion. But I would like to secure just some of SMS in conversation list.

Hi All,
how to get the Gmail application asking for a password rather than going straight to my inbox / conversations... ?
Thanks in advance,

Sign out? Or get an app that can password protect other apps

I can't find any " Sign out " while i am in the Gmail app !
That will be a nice option though ...
I don't think it's possible to sign out of your Google account on your phone. There are probably some third party applications that can hide or protect Gmail.
Alternatively, you could create a second Gmail account and unsync your primary... just a thought I haven't needed to hide an account so I'm not sure what Gmail will do I. That scenario.
Good luck

Hi All,
what app do you recommend to password protect other apps ?
Thanks
I used to use the one in zd box. And btw, if you force close the app that is password protecting another app it will stop protecting it. So don't find this out the hard way if you're hiding stuff from your wife or gf or whatever lol
