Password protection - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Is there any way to specifically password protect the process of install/uninstall rather then protecting each and every app that can perform such an operation.

Try and password protect settings app .... it will password protect settings but the install/uninstall process will also be protected.... hope it works!!

One thing I miss from my iPhone... Is there an android alternative?

When I got a message or notification while my screen was off it would light up the screen automatically to show you the notification on the lock screen. Is there an android alternative?

SMS Enhancer does it with the stock MMS app:

SmsPop Up maybe?

go sms works perfectly as you described, and its my choice, but see what works best for you.

Honestly I looked into a few of those recommendations but I chose Tasker with the plug in Secure Settings.
Now I can choose to wake up my screen on any notification for a defined amount of time before it turns off automatically.
Tasker is a very powerful system app. So if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. It's a paid app ($6.95) but very worth it. If your skeptical go to the developer's website for a trial.

Tasker is pretty awesome. Amazing things can be done with that app.
Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting you to say that Tasker is your solution.
Agreed with slix, go sms works great

Stock does not show you the message contents on a pop up on the screen.
Widgetlocker + gosms widget. This is my set up.

Well the OP didn't word it that way. If that's the case, then people have made plenty of suggestions.

True. I made the leap because my wife had an iPhone and knew the behavior the OP was referring to.

True, I've had multiple iPhones as well. I actually HATED that feature and I still don't like it on my note. It should come with a damn LED notification like 99% of every android phone.

I have found Pattern lock, GPS on off and data on off sometimes doesnt work, it fires from tasker because when you look at the exit/entry task its sitting there stuck and you have to hit stop
That will be tasker not properly set up. Why not try change the context to test if the secure settings functions work well? Tasker on my galaxy tab had the same problem. GPS works fine on my phone.

Modal dialog insanity.

I love my Note 2. I would love it even more if I didn't see a modal popup every gps, every mobile data, every maps exit and others. Verizon or stock 4.1.1 issue? Solutions? Mod?

I know that my ROM no longer says anything about GPS, not sure about Mobile Data. Either way, why are you toggling them all the time? I leave GPS on all the time, data is always active unless in airplane mode, and I can still get through a day easily (usually 2+ days) without charging. Also, WTF is "Modal"? You usually get more help with proper spelling and without replying to yourself several times.

Why can't I take off my lock screen

I can't remove my lock screen , anyone know why.
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Not sure why that isn't selectable, but there is an app called No Lock you could try.

It looks like you have an app or something that is an admin on your phone and it prevents it from being selected
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
Have you set a password or pin or pattern security lock? If so, I would guess that you need to disable that first. It looks like those options are still accessible. Otherwise, I really don't know (never seen it before).
Good luck!
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
It looks like you have your phone encrypted.
Having your phone encrypted requires you to have a lockscreen, otherwise the encryption means nothing.
I didn't encrypt it though.... I'm wonder if it is an admin app what would do it. I'm going tosee if I can disable the lock
What would happen if I cleared credentials?

i cleared them...hope it wasnt a bad idea. i fixed it though. the issue was my college network profile cert
Edit they came back. All fixed
