I'm trying to find a way to be able to access a selected app or apps without having to unlock my phone with my with pin. I've tried looking, and all I can find is a lock screen app called Start, but it does way more than i need and it still asks for my pin when I select app.

You could use custom ockscreen shortcuts (or a lockscreen replacement) coupled with Secure Settings & Tasker to achieve that.
Example:

I was hoping for something a bit simpler, but I'll give this one a shot. Hopefully this works with pin unlock and but just pattern unlock.

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.

There's also apps from marketplace I use. It doesn't hide the apps but it locks it and requires u to enter unlock code or pattern. The one i use is a paid app but i think there might be free ones

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?

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

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.

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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theronrogers.vaultyfree&hl=en
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.
