Thanks bro! But I abandoned this application for Android Tuner which perfectly protect access on all my applications.

It's a pity:-\ I have preferred to give this money to aid charity.
[Android Apps and Games] Sanji308:
Help!!!

Dear Admin

I had used your app and it works great..i use it to lock all the apps including phone dialer and also my hp setting..i also chose to unlock it by #pass...and now i cant open any of the apps that i locked bcoz there is no way to open the apps..any idea how to solve this?..tqvm
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
I don't understand why you can't open an app..??

It worked before with a password, what changed that it no longer works...what did you do..??
[Android Apps and Games] Sanji308:
I install the lock app and i upgrade it to a premium features..then in the setting ive locked my phone dialer at the MAIN LOCK at the lock app setting..i also checked the option to prevent the locker app from been uninstalled in the phone setting..and also i chose the option to open the locker app by typing #pass at the phone dialer..after that the locker app icon is hidden on my phone and i cant get in the locker app as i already locked my phone dialer..im sorry for my bad english..
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
That's what I thought you did, you locked the dialer... Lets try something, go into phone Settings/Security/Device Administrators...uncheck HI App Lock than reboot the phone. Now click on the dialer & enter #pass than hit the call button...you might have to enter #pass 1 or 2 more times till you see the app...if you see the app unhide the dialer...this should fix most of your problems. If that doesn't work, with Device Admin unchecked you should be able to uninstall HI App Lock from your phone. Than you can try & reinstall it again. If you have to hide the App from the App Drawer...do not lock the Dialer, that is your only way in...if you lock the Dialer, than leave the App in App Drawer, just lock it...don't hide it.
[Android Apps and Games] Sanji308:
but the problem is i also locked my setting..do you have any other way?
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
I have my settings locked, entering the password lets me in...do you not know your password..??

Just click settings & the lock screen should popup.
[Android Apps and Games] Sanji308:
Ohh...i forgot to tell you..i also chose the option faked error message..so i cant enter the password..
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
There is away to bypass that to get the screen...I just don't remember how...there should be a button or 2 on that fake screen...or a picture or something.

EDIT: At the fake error screen Hold the OK button, than the password screen should popup.
[Android Apps and Games] Sanji308:
I already found it...thanks a lot...u juz hav to hold the fake error message for a little while then it will prompt the password entering..hahaha...tqvm anyway..ur idea is very lifesaving..:good::good::laugh:

Hi, I'm using the Premium version, with a multiple lock feature.

All is good, but:

Is there any way to set a

separate pattern

lock for

each locker

??

I can set a different pin code per lock, but I can't find the pattern option in the extra lockers.

If I set all to be the same pin as the Main Lock, that I can use Main Lock's pattern for all lockers, but it diminishes the whole point of having more than one locker....

Thanks!

Have to type password twice after phone unlock

I am not sure if I am the only one having this issue, but I have to type the password twice, Hi AppLock will ask me for the password, I type it, then the app opens and instantly HI AppLock asks for the password again.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
I get that only when opening from the dialer...opening Hi App itself...never from unlocking an app.

Is this so ? Can you can make it better ?

Thanks

Please check the following steps:

1. Launcher locked app "XXX"

2. Input wrong password

3. Press Home,go back to desktop

4. Then HI App Lock will kill that app "XXX" to avoid it running in background, consuming battery

[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Thanks for your kind.
[Android Apps and Games] Just_s:
I second these points. Also the idea of having a "stealth mode" where itcan be set to show as a force close rather than locked app. Great for nosey family members who always want to know what the locked app is, but never ask about the app that they just made force close on your $600 phone.
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Thanks a lot. "stealth mode" was already included in v1.3, please have a check.

v1.30 update(2013-5-25)

1. *Add Fake Error Message（A fake error message will be shown before unlocking）

2. *Hide HI App Lock's icon from launcher
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Thanks a lot.

1. What do you meant for "double confirmation if a Secure Profile is ticked"?

2. About Gallery, it is good, but it seems almost all pics are in "Camera" folders :)
[Android Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
when defining a profile : ask if it is Secure profile

and when this type of profile is used ask twice the pwd
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
The same pwd for these two times? if yes, it seems the value is limited

Hi All, I have drafted a design for Profile features, as bellow:

1. Click on the left part of "Profile Tab", go to the configuration screen,

2. Click on the right part, turn on or turn off the profile.

Is it straightforward?

your comment are welcome, thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
seems quite good :)

is it a free feature or Paid ?
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Same as other premium features, Share HI App Lock to your friends/facebook/twitter to get premium features for free, or pay it to support development, That is OK? :) more suggestions are welcome
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Hi ThePureHeart, do you have any comments on above profiles feature design? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] indesisiv:

v1.40 update(2013-5-29)

v1.40 update(2013-5-29)

1. Add random keyboard feature

2. Fix one serious FC for Android 2.1 phones

3. For "Hide HI App Lock" feature on Samsung phone(Note2,S3...). Hit the 'Send' or 'Call' button after you typed the code on dial pad

4. Fix one password bypass case: On password screen, press Back->Launcher list ->Screen Off ->Screen On

5. Fix SMS popup can't be locked when screen off

6. Fix bug of HI App Lock can't be locked quickly after unlocked for 4.0.x phones

You comments are welcome !
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Hi, is seems one typo, your question should be:?

If i turn off the app locking it remains turned "ON", except if i receive a phone call in which case I have to put the code in before answering. Despite the app lock being turned off!

Answer: for current design, it take several seconds to turn off the services, so please wait about 5 seconds after you turn off, and then check whether the locked app still need password. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] indesisiv:
Here is what happens... I turn off the app and it stops for everything as planned. So that i do not need to put a code in. However, a couple of hours later I receive a phone call and the app locks the call despite it not even being turned on!

That is the problem i have.
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Thanks a lot, I am trying to reproduce and fix it
[Android Apps and Games] brunoisa10:

[Android Apps and Games] vbauer86:
Just a small question,

is there an option to also lock this app so you cannot delete it?

From a view of a bad boy i would check pretty easy which app locks the apps, so i would 1st delete it and then theres no protection anymore.

greetz
[Android Apps and Games] vpraveenis:
Few suggestions from me

1. High res graphics for app icon

2. Pattern lock with stock android look

3. Dark theme

4. Lock timeout for an app till screen lock

Great app by the way. I was using another app for the same purpose, but now I will switch to this one.
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Thanks, dark theme will be released in these two days
[Android Apps and Games] sparex:
Nr4: Exactly what I said but developer says not secure.

Well I think that feature is very very important. I dont know if u use ur app u self but its a pain in the as to draw the pattern EVERY time u have to start the app.

Smart app protector has that feature that if u unlock an app that means that u are the user right now. It then unlocks every app but locks them again as soon u turn off the screen. Its very usefull.

I will not even try ur app without this feature. sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:

[Android Apps and Games] themadba:
Great app! I have been looking for an app to lock other apps for a while, but either they weren't updated or the UI was horrible!

The UI on this is perfect, of course a darker theme would work better with JB, but no complaints here. If they are any issues, I'm sure the dev will iron them out in due course.

Good job! :D

P.S. I've noticed the bug exposed by the video above, this is a serious bug and does need to be sorted.
[Android Apps and Games] indesisiv:
I can confirm that bug here too
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Thanks a lot, I think the Nr4 means: "for each locked app, after once opened, THAT APP do not locked until screen off ",

and your means is : "for all locked app, after one locked app unlocked, all others do not locked until screen off"

These are two features, we are planning on them.
[Android Apps and Games] CYRAXDroid:
Good work OP im using the at&t s3 working good. No FC
[Android Apps and Games] BeRniTo:
Actually the bug is easier than that. Just pull down the notifications bar and select HI app. Password is required. Without trying any code, just pull down the notifications bar and select HI app again. HI app appears leaving the lock window behind it.

Bought the pro version BTW.
[Android Apps and Games] ThePureHeart:
Very sorry, I've didn't keep an eye out

I think it looks great!

I have a few requests.

1) The app already looks very Holo-ish, but I suggest looking into the design of new Google apps like Gmail, Keep and Hangouts. If you could make your app look like that, it would blend in better with the Android system.

Google is gradually changing their design and I think it's time for developers to follow their lead because their new design looks FABULOUS!

2) Secret code should be customizable so we can change it to something more memorable and not leave it at a stock value since that introduces security issues

3) Lock screen layout could do with a tweak

Have a look at my screen (Galaxy S3)

http://db.tt/SXtqWREZ

I think the buttons/layout should be lower so those with larger screens don't have to reach all the way to the top of their screen

4) Auto-enter of password should be disabled because it is not very secure. Anyone can enter my password without pressing enter key. Requiring press of the enter key adds a bit more security

5) more lock types. With Android we have a choice of different types of locks. I'd like to see more of these implemented into this app :)

6) For the "lock app" tab, maybe introduce caching so it doesn't have to refresh every time. List can be refreshed by pulling down/pressing refresh button

7) Introduce swipe features so we can swipe to next/prev tab instead of pressing the tab

8) Silent times - allowing users to disable lock during certain hours

9) Password recovery via Gmail

10) Remote SMS unlock - disable lock for x minutes by sending a specific text message to your phone

11) Block usb transfer/connection

Looks like I made a lot of points there haha

There might be more to come :P

Let's make this app THE BEST!

I look forward to updates. We definitely need a fix for the bypass hack :D

Premium purchased to help you out :)

Nice app, nice UI. However, aside from the bugs mentioned (getting access to the main app by tapping the notification icon two times), force stopping the service (by long pressing the icon > force stop) effectively gets rid of the security. :( Well, this could be mitigated by securing Settings app as well, but i just wish that the service would always re-launch when force-closed or terminated unexpectedly. I was thinking that there should be a root feature that would make sure the service is always running in the background or any other way to make sure the service runs/re-runs all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] simonsalo:
not the best! smart app protector is better

"Smart app protector" already does all of this beautifully and works on all platforms.

Some of your suggestion would require the app rights to use gmail and to watch SMS, it may become a privacy issue.

[Android Apps and Games] ThePureHeart:
Why would it be a privacy issue? The data isn't being sent anywhere, it's only being used to give you extra features. Nothing leaves your phone therefore no privacy issues.

[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Can I make a request???

I understand that we can lock various apps with this, but would it be possible to even hide the particular app?

There are some apps that would like to hide from someone that may look at my phone and as you seem to actively develop this app, I thought I would request this.

This would of course imply automatically blocking "settings> applications" from being accessed. That is if for example I hide "angry birds", your application should block access to "setting>applications" by giving an error if someone tries to go to applications.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] simonsalo:
This is reinventing the wheel. Smart App Protector does all this and more. Controls orientation, allows for different unlocking methods including swipe, even PIN number will generate the keyboard in random pattern so numbers not in same place, background to the keyboard can be selected including support for rotating backgrounds in wallpaper changer, another brilliant app. If you use the brilliant launcher Listener with Wallpaper Changer & Smart App Protector then every time you need to unlock an app you are greeted with a beautiful new wallpaper behind the randomly positioned pin pad!
[Android Apps and Games] Magissia:
He may have coded this another way, and may want to try to do better, using less ressources.

-------------

Some suggestion :

- Allow use of real passwords, and have physical keyboard support for it (and for pin)

- Put internet acces to a "plug in app", and not in the main app (since you're talking about privacy)

- If possible : Make app able to use system's color sheme directly (means holo for most up-to-date devices i guess)

- Lock specific tabs in settings (don't know if possible)

- On lock screen, don't put "Protected by hi app lock" but just write that you need a password to use the program (should be reserved to paid users i guess)

- Make app specific rules (different password/relock time)

- Make it multi user friendly, and make the admin able to set passwords for apps of every users, and let the admin decide if other users can put password on their own individual apps or not. (Don't know if it's possible, probably possible for rooted users if setting hi app lock as system app)

- Make the ui more tablet-ish on tablet, currently it looks like an ugly scale up

- Allow user to pick the relock time themselves and don't force them your preset

- Allow a relock time of "when screen turns off"

- Allow a relock time of "When user exit app/app is not shown on screen"

- Don't allow premium users to hide from launcher your app when they use a tablet, because they won't be able to bring it back because they don't have a dialer (by default)

- User should hit OK itself

i bought it to support you and to show i'm not here just to annoy you.

Best regard to the dev(s).
[Android Apps and Games] hiapp:
Great thanks, you may be our product manager :) all the points are very meaningful

For the point 6, we don't use cache to try to use less memory, users do not access HI App Lock very frequently after they have set 210335up it properly

For point 10, what is the use cases?

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but how about an option to change the Dial Code...the Hide HI App Lock.
[Android Apps and Games] ThePureHeart:

Thank you for clarifications :)

Now that I think about it, I don't think #10 will be very useful. I was thinking of it to be a recovery option, but it's probably not the best idea.
