[Q] Better app locker app than ASUS app locker (would require root) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have an ATP with ASUS app locker preinstalled.
The locker app is very secure, but is missing a few functions like delayed lock or relock after display sleep.
I tried a few apps from the market, but non has such high security standards like the ASUS app lock. I could trick all apps by switching to the desktop by the desktop icon, and could switch back to a lockked app via the recent apps list.
The ASUS app locker prevents apps from displaying in the recent apps list, but non of the other locker apps did this.
Is there a very good locker app which uses root to ensure a very high security profile?

Smart app lock
Try using smart applock or hidden eye. You can customizebthe number of dots in smart app lock (for better protection) whilst in hidden eye your phone will capture a photo(using front camera) every wrong password if someone tried to play with it. That's all I know.

[Q] Any app to show recently launched programs in the app drawer?

I know I can long-press the home key, but would like basically the same icons in the app drawer too. Is this possible?
I don't know of an app that will do specifically what you want, but you can set a gesture action with Launcher pro to display the recent apps list. It sounds like you want your app drawer filtered to show the most recently used apps at the top.

[Q] MiLocker with pattern lock possible?

Hello, all!
I recently installed MiLocker with a nice five-way app ring, and have it tweaked to use Dolphin HD instead of the standard browser, etc. Looks great, works great! I have noticed, however, that it disables the standard Android security lock (i.e., pattern, PIN or password). At first, I thought there was something in my Tasker profile or the CyanogenMod settings causing this, but I've ruled that out. It appears that MiLocker not only replaces the Android slide lock, but also the security lock.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use MiLocker in conjunction with the Android security lock? In other words, I would like the MiLocker screen to be displayed when the phone wakes up, I select the app from the five-way ring, and then my usual pattern lock comes up. As it is now, using MiLocker disables access security on the phone, which I don't like.
This is on an HTC Desire Z running CM7.
Anyone? It appears that MiLocker simply prevents the phone from locking at all, since none of the CM settings related to display and security lock are honoured (like lock delay).

Is there a way to disable the lockscreen on rooted stock?

Curious, as I find it rather annoying and rather pointless to have.
[Q] News & Weather Stock App - Rooted v1.4.3
I have not found a permanent way to disable the lock screen. There are several apps in the app store that will temporarily do it, I use a widget app called Widgetsoid where that is one of the controls you can set to have on the screen. I have found that the OS turns it back on at random intervals.
If you use CM7 there is an option in the settings to turn off the lock screen though.

[Q] Lock the App Drawer

I know that there are ways to password protect apps but it'd be so much easier if I could lock the app drawer so that it required a password to gain access to it.
I could then put apps on the desktop/springboard that I don't think require security and then if I wanted to access a sensitive app I could then access them in the app drawer.
Any ideas?

Mate 10 pro and protected apps

Please where is this function? And battery optimization permission.... Are same things ? Thank
From what I've been able to determine, there is no 'protected apps' menu option on Emui 8.
The place to adjust them is in - Settings - Battery - Launch. Personally I find Huawei's management way too agressive, so I turned off managing all automatically. Then in batch manually set everything to allowed and let Android sort it out. It doesn't seem to have made any difference to my battery life, but at least most notifications seem to work now. You could manually set only the ones you want to allow to run in the background though and it might help.
From settings - battery I also went into the settings icon top right and turned off the 'power intensive prompt' option because it was annoying - Google maps is SUPPOSED to be using frequent positioning, and my podcast app isn't much use if it isn't running in the background!
The whole power management seems to be designed for a phone with a tiny battery, where micro management is needed - but on a phone with the largest battery out of any flagship it seems needlessly aggressive....
Edit: It is also possible in the running apps/recent apps screen to click the lock icon on a program which is supposed to prevent Android from closing that app - but not sure how effective that is on EMUI.
Hello to all. I have installed in huawei mate 10 pro and I would like to use an application to notify gmail emails and whatsapp messages on always on display. use led blinker application that works properly when the phone is charging, while when it is without cable the notifications arrive only when I turn on the screen. I can think that it is a protection of consumption but I have activated all possibilities. could someone tell me what I could activate to solve this problem? thank you
This does exist. It's in the recent apps page (bottom left/right button, depending on your settings).
If you press the lock icon on an app it should "lock" the app from automatically closing.
It also prevents that app closing when you tap the recycle bin icon in the recent apps page.
This is exactly what I need, but I am running EMUI 9 on mate 10 pro and I cannot find this "lock"!! Yet I am sure I have seen it at some point in time... X-(
I just got the Android Pie/EMUI 9 upgrade last week and I found the lock by accident. When viewing your apps in the recents view, find the app you want to lock and drag it down towards the trash icon. You should now see the lock icon for that app at the top, and it should be protected from clearing recents. Clicking the lock or dragging it down again should toggle the lock.
On recent apps list, slide down the app window to lock - lock pad on top. Slide again to unlock
