App usage counter? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

App usage counter? An app that will tell me what app has been used and how many times?
Is there an app that will tell me what has been used and how many times recently? Preferably something that I can reset the counter on
My friend borrows my phone and I want to make sure he isn't accessing my private apps
I know about the app usage statistics with the secret menu *#*#4636#*#*, but I can't find a way to reset the counter on that

I have no idea on an app that does that. But why not use an app such as app lock. That way you can lock your private apps with a pin or pattern to stop him or anybody using them? Hope that helps

(Q) How do I turn data on and off for certain apps

On tasker I tried to set a profile so my data would turn on when i would open certain apps like weather and internet but it doesn't work

I'm not familiar with tasker, but I know with data intensive apps they usually give you option such as how the app updates itself. Options such as manual, or update every 1... 2... 4... or 6 hours. Why don't see if they offer you those settings?
Sorry if I'm not much help.

I shut all my apps to update only when I want them to yet I see my phone gathering data all the time

It could be because it is backing up stuff for your Google account.

Try Juice Defender Ultimate. It's paid but it would do what you're looking for; you can have data off and then configure apps that are allowed to use data.

Is it possible to password protect the messages app?

How would I go about doing this? I'm currently using the Omega rom and would prefer it if I didn't have to switch but I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks.
Play Store is your solution. Search it.
You can try SMS Lock apps or use Hancent SMS.

I liked Textsecure. I didn't use the encrypted message function just for the encrypted and password protected storage with a timeout. You can check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.securesms

Disable network permission

Is there an app or some way to disable individual permissions per app? I want to not allow certain apps access to WiFi/data without turning them off.

A firewall app for rooted phones should prevent some apps from accessing the network Google play has a lot, but you will need to be rooted.

Phone app opens by itself

I would post this in the rom thread but it has happened on several different roms. Im currently on jelly butter. Sometimes I go to clear my recent apps and I see the "phone" app open. I haven't used it at all tgat day or at all so it shouldn't be open right? Its not sucking up alot of battery so im stumped. The only thing I thought it could be is that its checking voice mail but then again why woukd it appear under my recent apps?
I clear my recent app after every time I use an app or very few apps so its not just there from a while ago. Does anyone else find this happening and if so how do I fix it? Thank you for any help.
