I know if you use LauncherPro, you can create a shortcut to an activity, and direct it to open up the Hotspot menu. That's what I did on my homescreen.
Add Shortcut -----> Activities -----> Settings -----> Settings : com.android.settings.TetherSettings
It doesn't turn the Hotspot on automatically, unfortunately. But it saves a few steps.

crashes and doesn't work on Atrix. not on mine anyway.
Shortcut seems best bet for now. I switched to barnacle so I have the app easy to reach.

I can't find a way to do it, even with other security enabled (e.g. fingerprint or pattern). Help! : D
Not sure if it will work with MotoBLUR, but there is a free app in the market called NO LOCK. Works like a champ on my Captivate.
Yes that app works just tried it

That's awesome!
That app also disables the pattern and fingerprint. I want to disable the swipe requirement only.
I have a 3 y/o grandson who loves playing games on my Atrix. Unfortunately he has discovered the camera and other things and has wandered into my contacts.
I use LauncherPro but have not been able to find a way to lock him to just one screen. Is there another launcher with this feature?
I like LauncherPro and don't want to use something else, but would if it didn't suck too much and had this feature.
There are several apps that alow you to password lock other apps, you can pick and choose which ones.
Thanks for the thought, but I was looking for a more general solution.

Just get data defender and lock all the apps you don't want people to get into with the fingerprint scanner?

Hello!
I'm currently looking for an app that allows me to view system info, preferably as a widget, like temperatures, cpu usage, network in/out etc.
Anyone know of an app like this?

Thanks, but not what I'm looking for. I prefer a widget, cool tool was just rather annoying blocking the view of the top-bar

Search Google Play & try a bunch of free version of apps until you find one that has what you want. That's what the rest of us did/do.
Is there any possibility to set password in gallery?
Yes! It is theres an app on play store "App lock" or "gallery lock" its really helpful it locks other apps also!:thumbup:

Ok... now i found them. I found this solution from app description:
# Please unlocks Pictures/Media Files before deleting Gallery Lock. If you do not unlock them before uninstall Gallery Lock, you lost your Pictures/Media Files forever.
The way to recover: reinstall Gallery Lock > Setting > Recovering locked media
# If you see the message “No installed App” or don’t execute App in Home Launcher, that means you are using the feature ‘Hide App’ in Setting. It is possible to execute calling to dial #789.
Regards,
thanks

What app did you use? I remember i used app lock, it just locks the app, when you go to gallery it asks u for pass
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
I'd just use Vaulty. It works very well and you can decide which images to lock/encrypt from the main gallery with a password.

Use Smart App Protector..
Not only does it allow you to lock the Gallery. But also other apps according to your needs.
It even allows you to select either Pattern or Pin, and even gesture.
Here is the link:

I like to use Location Services for maps, weather, etc. But I dont like them being ON at all times. Is there a way I can create a shortcut to my Location Settings? Maybe a widget? Any ideas or solutions would help me out.

Edit: I figured this out by myself. I figured I would share my info. In apps /widgets menu, select the 'Settings Shortcut' widget. From there you can select one of many shortcuts.
P.s. I wish there were toggles in quick settings for both VZW source and WiFi/ Mobile Network source.
Use nova launcher perhaps. Long press on your home screen and select shortcut>settings>location settings. Theres an app called anycut that that may work as well.

wish I saw this thread sooner, been doing this for a long time.
Download Tasker on the Google play store and have it set up to turn on your location/gps/whathaveyou whenever you open maps or navigation etc... I have found this solution to be very convenient.

can i ask what the exact setup is that you made up? not sure if it's somethign weird where tasker not playing as well on 10.2 roms but I just set up a profile where upon opening maps, GPS turns on, but it doesn't seem to work.
Honestly, I use AutomateIt from the App Store. It is free and does everything I need. But I don't want any other tasks running in the background. Hence, toggles..
