Hi Guys,
I'm looking for an APP that locks my apps on my phone with a PIN. Entering the correct pin will unlock, and allow the app to operate correctly.
Should i enter a "panic pin" Have a preset "fake app" or "app crash" occur?
Any ideas or suggestions?

I use "App Lock"
..
These apps don't seem to have the "panic" app feature. It's the most important part that i need.

Using this app from day 1. It has never disappointed me. Only you have to start it once after restoring it from backup (After full wipe in flashing ROMs). It tries to avoid task killing actions itself but if you are using any complicated task killer then add it to exclusion list.
Trust me, its free and great.

Hi
I'm just looking for a simple answer: how to NOT be advised that an app is closing or is busy with that annoying popups???
When I (try to) play Dead Trigger on my xmp, sometimes I get totally stucked (and killed-by-zombie-by-bites-and-fists) because of popups that steal focus to nicely inform me that a background or foreground (like launcher) app is busy or has been closed in an inusual way, and I MUST click "ok" to go forward!
GHHRRRRR!!!!!!!
I just would this: dear Android, kill all the fkkk apps you want but do not advise me please, I want just continue fragging!
Is there a way to avoid these annoying popups, then?
Thanks to all, bye.

go to Settings/Developer options and uncheck "Show all ANRs"!
Hi
well, deselecting that option, all good for now...
Thanks very much... me almost n00b here.
Hi
In must say it works only half: when an app closes, i mean it crashes, the same i have a "confirmation" popup; less then before, but sometimes happens.
No way to suppress these popups at all?

when foreground apps is crashed android automaticly shows report! and when you uncheck ANRs you actually disabling reports for background apps! try uninstall some apps which use lot of ram and you will see if your problem is solved!
Hi
Unfortunally, one of the app that crashes when I play is Xperia Home (a modified version developed here on xda).
My workaround is to switch launcher before playing.
There's no prop or parameter changing it I suppress all alerts?
try RAM managers option "lock home in memory"!
I HAD TO uninstall ram manager, this was ordered by supercharger!
Well, perhaps I really have to try to lock launcher in memory in some way...
Supercharger have that option too! Well.. Good luck!!!

Hi.
I need an app that kills all apps upon lock screen to save battery power so I don't have to do so manually.
Can any one advise a good app?

hi,
take a look at "fast reboot" app market .?there is a free version ,dont know if it has settings option ?( actually, the pro version has settings , to be correct )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastreboot&hl=en
Install, open fast reboot setting ( small gears in left bottom corner of app )Select , 2 nd option "Auto reboot options " and tick your option's ...on unlock and you can set on lock also .
If you know this app, then you will know it does not really reboot but closes (kill ) and opens up app ,excellent app .
Been using it for years (you will see market figures thats it very popular )
good luck
The free version have no settings and I have to click the fast boot icon for it to close apps.
Thanks for the reply.
Anyone else have any good apps that can automatically kill apps when I turn screen off?

most likely you will remove that application, bcoz neither it will save your battery and may it drain more battery than saving by closing app.
If your application remain in BG, it will just take some RAM not juice, and everytime single application try to kill appliction in BG with screen off will drain more juice.
there is also in built option for this if still you want it, go to setting - development option - limit background process, you can set your desired level.
You can use ZDBox, its free and have so many utilities, the task killer can kill all non marked running tasks when lockscreen comes. Check it out, i love this app.

* This is an Xposed module. You MUST have Xposed Framework installed. Otherwise this app WILL NOT FUNCTION.. You can download Xposed here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
With Quick Access, you can allow your selected apps to be launched over the lockscreen without unlocking your device. You can also swipe up from the on-screen home button to launch Google Now or launch applications from lockscreen widgets without unlocking your phone . For example, allow your camera, music, and to-do list applications to be launched over the lockscreen to access them in an instant. Allow your friends to browse your music library without fully unlocking your device, quickly add a task to your to-do list; or never miss that photo opportunity; with Quick Access the possibilities are limitless!
In addition, Quick Access also enables you to expand your status bar in secure lockscreen and also show all widgets (instead of only lockscreen widgets) in lockscreen widget picker
Computer Mode: This allows you to let the timer keep going, even when the screen is off. This means that you can use EyeRelax to limit your time on the computer, television, or whatever other device you own, without using battery to keep the screen on and the timer running!
Notes:
- To launch applications from DashClock widget, please select DashClock in Quick Access. Or more specifically the activity: com.google.android.apps.dashclock.WidgetClickProxyActivity.
- To launch Google Now by swiping up from the on-screen home button while in the lockscreen, please select Google Now in Quick Access, or more specifically the activities: com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.SearchActivity AND com.google.android.velvet.ui.VelvetActivity.
- This application does not actually launch the applications (yet), it just allows them to be launch (via other methods) over the lockscreen. A good application to do that is DashClock.
Downloads:
Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TwinBlade.QuickAccess
Xposed Repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.twinblade.quickaccess
will surely giv a try.

Yes it should work with all stock Android lockscreens.
experiencing what I believe is a bug:
I had three apps check to allow quick access, I rebooted, and now when I go back into QA they are all unchecked, and I can no longer check any other apps due to the 3 app restriction.
Sry but i don't really understand how it works. I tried it with some apps. Can someone post a example pic?

Thanks for the bug report. The issue has been fixed and version 1.2 has been push to the play store and the xposed repository.

I'll give an example. If you select your music application in Quick Access, you don't have to unlock your lockscreen to view that app. If you launch your music app and turn your screen off and on again, normally you'll have to unlock the lockscreen to access your music app, but with QA the music app will be displayed over the lockscreen so it's the first thing you see when you turn your screen on.
Another example with lockscreen widgets. If you have a google now widget on your lockscreen and click on it, normally you'll have to unlock first; with QA google now will be displayed over the lockscreen.
I have the examples make sense.
Ahh know i understand, thx!
Have trouble with this. I select the apps in QA, reboot, and nothing on my lockscreen.
Any suggestions?

If you launch one of the apps you selected, turn your screen off and on again, do you see your lockscreen or the app you just launched?
Does not work for me I am on slimrom

is it available in the Downloads section of the xposed app??

If your Downloads page is set to sort by status, it's right there in alphabetical order. If it's sorted by last update, it's the fifth listed. If it's sorted by creation date, it's the first one at the top of the page. And this is ignoring the fact that Xposed has a search function.
Quick Access (v. 1.3) crashes every time I try to launch it.
I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with stock ROM (4.3).
OP: High hopes for this little app if got working perfectly!
BUG: Reboot command fails to execute. The app gets stuck at the command, and force closes!

Sounds like a root issue to me.
FWIW, it's better to just use the reboot option in the power menu anyways. The reboot option in the power menu allows apps and processes to terminate gracefully whereas when an app reboots it just kills all apps and processes.
interesting concept. so is this the same kind of idea as what google maps does then? where if the screen goes off, and you unlock, it will just wake up to maps? and then if you try to back out, it'll request that you do the passcode?
I really like Smart Launcher and I'm just done customising it but everytime I open an app it just starts from the start.
I'm reading some stuff in Reddit Sync, I press the home button to quickly check another app and when I go back to Reddit Sync (or any other app) it doesn't resume from where I left. Of course I can open up my recents and go from there but I'm wondering if this behavior is normal?
I'm on a LG G2 4.4.2 by the way.
Try this .. Check settings-about phone-dev options then uncheck the Dont keep Activities if checked.. If this is not the solution, maybe the ram is insufficient

just wanna add that some apks normally do that error on resuming since the apk itself needs more ram for resuming..
Has anyone experienced on overly aggressive closing of apps by the OS on the phone?
I run "Conversations" as an XMPP messenger on my phone (https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=conversations&fdid=eu.siacs.conversations). Previously, had it installed on a couple Samsung devices without issue.
Eventually, after the Honor 5x is inactive, Conversations will be closed and I cannot receive messages until the app is loaded again. Even when telling the app to keep itself in the foreground (by way of notification drawer), the OS still closes the app when the phone is inactive for a while.
I would assume this issue is with EMUI, but I am not sure. Can anyone else shed some light on this?
It is an EMUI thing. You will do yourself a huge favor if you go to settings>Power saving>Protected apps, hit "menu" and "Add all"

@rdbud, Thank you, that appears to be right on. This phone is my wife's phone, and she confirmed that the app stays running now. Good find.

You can also "lock" an app in memory by hitting the Recents app square and then sliding down on any app. It will place a lock icon next to the app to show it is protected.

Keep in mind that it won't protect any subsequent apps you install. So if you install any new apps, you should go back in and make sure it's protected.

That's an interesting feature, but is it the same as the protecting the apps in the settings? Or does it keep that app locked open so switching is easier? I have all my apps protected, but none of them have locks in the Recents app.
The only true solution that many dont know is
Just open the "phone accelerator" app .
Then open settings and then protected apps
And check the app that u want to run in the background .
Once done , now check ! U wil be able to receive notifications from the app u wished to run in the background.
