[q] android lock apps ? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi everyone,
I'm searching for an android lock apps, basically I want to lock my sms/smails apps with a code. So when I give my phone to my friends, they can play with it, make a phone call but can't look into my private stuffs like sms/emails, etc.
Would someone suggest me something ?
Thanks.

I use Smart App Protector:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sp.protector

Thanks so much.
What is the difference between the free version and the paid one ?

Just ads, I think?

Either that or you don't want your gf picking it up at the wrong time

Anybody got any idea why it has these permissions?
DIRECTLY CALL PHONE NUMBERS
and
RECEIVE SMS
seems like its not something it would require and the devs website is not in english

Porting Smart Stay?

Is someone working on porting the smart stay feature from the Galaxy s3 to the s2?

I wonder if it is possible 'cause of the difference in hardwarr

Pretty sure Smart Stay just uses the front camera to see if you are still there. Can't see why it wouldn't work but might be a battery drain. Also not sure if it has hooks into the new touchwiz, which people are looking at porting at present.
No need to port. Use the app called "Super video, floating & popup" from the play store. Works well on the sgs2

Smart Stay is the one which uses the front camera to track your eye to determine whether you are looking at the screen or not. That's Pop-up play you mentioned. I wouldn't use that crappy, buggy & ****ty app though. Hope Pop-Up play is more stable..

There is no reason, why it should not bepossible to use smartstay on any other mobile phone.
It's only a additional setting that tells the phone to look what the user does after a special time. if you look on it, camera will recognize it and a software will tell the phone, hey user is lookin' at me. thats all.
btw the camera hardware (front and back) of s2 and s3 is completely the same, if you don't believe me, ask samsung, they said that in an official statement.
So is anyone working on getting the Smart Stay feature to our beloved s2??
Is Smart Stay inplemented in TW because i cant find it as an special apk, can anyone help me??
Seriously is noone interested in fixing the SmartStay feature from the GT-I9300 to GT-I9100??
You know it's the feature that keeps the screen on as long as u look at it...
Stop begging and bumping your thread, this will only push devs away from even bothering helping.
If you want it so much look into porting it yourself.

MightText SMS for tablets

Is anyone else using this free app. If not, WHY. Absolutely love it! Get your phone SMS to your tablet AND PC!!!! You can also respond via tablet and PC.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mightytext.tablet
Pretty simple to set up. Not sure how or if this will piss me off in the long run, but I'll let you know.

I use it from my tablet, phone and computer and so far it's working out great! Haven't noticed any delay or anything, but so far it's exactly what I was looking for.

Cloud SMS user here.
Similar to Mighty Text, but higher rated and has a $.99 price tag.
Extremely responsive Dev who is always improving/tweaking it.
This type of app is a must-have for me as well.
Been using it for about a month now myself. No issues, works great.

Same here. Devs were responsive for a few emails, and then they just sort of dropped off. Please let me know if you get this figured out. Are out using Handcent or Go SMS on you phone?
That happened to me as well. I unlinked my tablet in the settings and added it back again and it fixed it.

Devs were the same with me, responsive at first, then gave up. No extra sms apps installed so that's not the problem. Also tried resetting everything, but no joy.

Yeah, I tried unlinking and relinking. Didn't work. I decided to just pay the $5 per year and go back to DeskSMS. It has been super reliable across any and every build on my phone, and its companion, TabletSMS, has worked with both my Nexus 7 and my TouchPad. Worth the money to me.
App store issues?
I just picked up a Nexus 7 the other day and went to download Mightytext from the app store and it is saying my device is not compatible? I feel like something is very wrong here. Any suggestions?

Derp... wrong app. Finally figured it out
I use it but I'm a little concerned about privacy... Its obvious the actual texts and phone numbers are going through mighty texts servers to get from AT&Ts system to my nexus 7 which is only connected via WiFi, or is that incorrect? I text a lot of highly sensitive info due to my line of work. I hope I'm worried for nothing because its a great app and one more reason to put my phone down while I'm on my tablet.

I think it's going through googles servers since you login with your Google credentials, but I guess that could be just for authentication. If you need more privacy tablet talk syncs via Bluetooth but I think you have to pair it a lot.

Yeah I had tablet talk for awhile, I just hate having to connect it every time. I'd love for someone to give us some clarification on my privacy question. Lemme see if I can search for the answer. I'll post it here if I find it. :good:
Love this app
I love this app so much I made an inverted version. Screenshots attached.
I will upload to test if anyone is interested. Then I will start a post for it once I know it's working for more people then myself. I only themed hdpi so Nexus 7 only for now.
Let me know please!!!!!
iMessage.... What a complete and total copy..... Granted, you can easily say the same for this app and Whatsapp. Idk, I think this is easier and much better than whatsapp (used both). I messages claims to use phone number only.....so does MightyText....
What do you guys think?

The above links work and you can also find it by going to the Play Store in a web browser and then clicking on the gear icon on the right side and then you will see the Android Device Manager there too.
This seems useless after I change my Google password (which would the first thing to do since thief has my phone as a authenticator).

NFC Pranks?

Bought some NFC tags for my S3 and going to give one to a friend to use on his NFC.
I want to put something funny on it but can't come up with anything? It needs to work without requiring a special app, I thought about making it auto send a text but that's not possible, it just opens the message app with the text.
I tried opening a certain 'comedy' website featuring a song by the group "Dead or Alive", but sadly it's a flash site so that's out the picture.
Any other ideas of what I can do, or even similar websites that will work on android, or ones that play sound loudly or whatever. Shock factor would be good.

Thanks did this, worked well, they'd not used NFC before so was good. They weren't that bothered about NFC though, didn't want the tag I was giving them.

How about putting a strong NFC sender in his house so when he walks past it it opens a website, forexample: www.kittenwar.com Rick roll, trololol, a porn site ect. ect...
I know this is maybe not exactly whay u want and im unsure if its possible witg nfc tag but maybe (for the messaging trick) use nfc tage to open the text message app u want to send with the text predisplayed then.
adb start-server
adb connect localhost:5038
Input keyevent (key no. required)
E.g. key 7 is number 14
Just use key number for tab so it highlights the send.key and then input key code for enter key.
Let me know how this works out .

No Android Beam?

I was trying to start up a content transfer with someone else's phone. I used an HTC One and they had Samsung Galaxy S3s. It would show the touch to transfer screen and it would just open the playstore to an item which didn't exist. It doesn't matter what they tried to transfer.

It wouldn't send me the little note to send off / receive without it on. Issue is, every time I receive something, it just shows up as a Google Play Link. When I try to send something, it just stops after I touch to beam.
I'm not sure what it is then, mines working fine(a little finnicky at times but fine).

My buddy has an S3 and I have the One, and in order for it to register I had to hold my phone about as low as his camera, but it worked like a charm. Then again, I sent him a few contacts and some pics for jokes.
Wife and I have GS3 and ONE, we send pics back and forth all the time.

You can NOT send playstore apks via NFC, it will always show a playstore link, this is to prevent sharing of paid apps.

No, not playstore apps or links. For example, friends on GS3 with gallery app opened to send a link. It just constantly wants to open a nonexistent item in the playstore. Sorry if I am unclear. I am thankful for all the help thus far.

Thanks. I think I actually figured it out. Anyone else wondering, anyone with Samsung phones transferring to the HTC One, the Samsung user needs to turn of their S Beam, because it tries to use the Samsung branded gallery app to transfer pictures.
