i am looking for an app or a mode to lock some apps without locking phone login. every app i know requires to lock even login phone with fingerprint, so when i turn on display need fingerprint. i don't know so! i look for lock only some apps. is possible??
thanks
There is a tasker plugin that can do this called Material Design Plugin. If you're not familiar with the "am" and "pm" commands in Android, it will take some research before it will work, however.

I use APP Lock and love it. However, I find it annoying to unlock apps manually when I want to use a particular app.
To solve this, APP Lock included a widget that unlocks or locks "set" of apps. The problem is that when the phones goes into screen lock and is used again, the unlock setting remains and leave all of my apps vulnerable.
Is there an app out there that will "lock" when the phone goes into screen lock?
Thanks!
bump. am i the only one with this issue?
Searh for a different app lock. Unless the dev for that app is going to update that app. I dont think it has anything to do with the phone.

Near the very top of the article are 5 very good apps for locking apps down, just look at each and see which has an interface that is usable. Unfortunately, I dont have any recommendations as to a specific app and how securely it locks down an app, most store the passwords in a plain text file that are visible to anyone with a Linux machine if your phone is currently rooted.
I use a combination of hiding or freezing apps AND password protecting them. It takes someone really knowledgeable (and willing to snoop) to first unfreeze an app in TB, then go to Go Launchers' app drawer to un-hide an app, then figure out the 16 alpha(upper & lower case)/numeric/symbols password to open my LastPass and banking apps. You just have to remember that you have to FIRST hide the app, then freeze it when you are done using said app (so you have to do it in reverse order).
Anyone have details, links, or ideas? I need something that locks app to device so that they cant be uninstalled without password. Have a child impossible to get up for school and want to install xtreme alarm clock and them not able to remove it.

Smart Home Screen & Application Locker (With Guest Mode access)
There are more than 250 App Locks in the Google Play marketplace. How is this one different, all the features seem to be the same in each of the app.
We developed an app that would solve one of the biggest issues with app lockers. When I use app lock on my phone, it does not mean that I can keep the home scree of the phone unlocked. Therefore, when I want to you use a protected app (protected by any app locker from the market), I would first need to unlock the home screen and then unlock the app. This two step process becomes too tedious when a user has to use any app frequently. For example, in case you are chatting with a person, the replies do not come soon enough that you are chatting on run time basis, so the app and the screen get locked. You would need to open both of them in order to reply to the chat message.
We came up with a solution that is combination of an app lock as well as a home screen lock. The user can select all the apps that he wants to keep locked and private. The user then creates a master password/ PIN/ Pattern and a Guest Password/PIN/Pattern. When the home screen is unlocked using the master password, all the protected apps get automatically unlocked along with the home screen. So when you are using your own phone, you do not have to input two passwords.
In case someone borrows your phone, or want to just have a look at it or make a small call; give them your Guest Password/ PIN/ Pattern. The home screen will open with this Guest Password, but all your protected apps continue to be locked.
We believe that such a combination is not available on any of the apps that are marketed. Therefore, we went ahead and filed a patent on it as well. We hope you would like the app. You can download it for free from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluggdd.SmartAppLocker
A few weeks ago, my banks decided to introduce a "pushTAN" option for their online banking interfaces where you have to install an app on your phone - both use the same one, developed by some software company - and TANs are then sent to the phone as a push notification. Sounds nice, but the app obviously wants to "protect" me and closes every time I launch it because it detected "suspicious screen reading activity" - of course, because I got the great AutoInput and AutoVoice Tasker plugins installed which need to be granted screen reading permissions in the accessibility settings.
This is bad because I really need to use the pushTAN apps (one bank only has the old-fashioned TAN list which I want to get rid of and the other one decided to charge money for their smsTAN option) and I don't want to be required to change the permissions every time I need to receive a TAN on the phone.
My question: Is there a way to hide screen reading rights (and maybe root because I think about rooting my phone and I'm pretty sure the app will detect that, too) from a specific app?
Or is it possible to set up a Tasker action which toggles the rights when I launch the app and toggles them back when I quit it?
Does anybody have an advice for me?
I would be interested, too.
Hi!
I just can't find anywhere if there is any app that can lock your screen and your apps, but when unlocking the phone by fingerprint, it gives you access to all locked apps... and if you unlock it by simply swipe, all locked apps requires to be individually unlocked.
That's a feature I really like to have implemented on MIUI, but for now its not there and I wonder if there is some third party app out there or a ROM with this feature.
Thanks!
I don't think that there is an app that does exactly what you described, but I can recommend you a xposed module called MaxLock, it may help you

Hello all.
If this is in the wrong category, please let me know or move it. I'm sorry in advance.
Since about a month i have a chinese android device in my car. Works well enough, but it has its annoyances. One of them is that the FM tuner app doesn't always start by itself and i would like to get other apps to start when it wakes up, such as Torque etc. In its custom build firmware there is a setting to set the default navigation app and that always launches any app i set in there, so that got me thinking find an app that would just start the apps i need it to start. Annoyingly this seems harder than it is. I've tried several auto starters from the Play Store, but none seem to be able to launch the apps i need it to launch when it wakes up (key in ignition/starting the car.)
I don't really want to root the device because i'm not really finding good info on this device and rooting it. I don't want to take risks. I've been looking into making my own app that would just launch a list of apps i want to to start and set that app in the device settings as the navigation app effectively tricking it into thinking that is the navigation app, but it actually would launch a bunch of apps i need it to launch, including a navigation app, obviously.
Having said all that, i'm about as useful as a trapdoor in a kanu when it comes to android programming, i am a complete noob and don't really find anything i can use.
So my question; would somebody be able to write something like that and maybe publish it? I am obviously willing to compensate you for your time.
Thanks in advance.
Try AutoStart what doesn't require Android is rooted.
