Possible an app that can be use as a lock screen or a modification of the default lock screen that has the pin pattern unlock.

The default has the pins and a button for emergency calls.

It seems to open up a program that is seperate from the regular dailer as it has no call history embedded but it does not allow other phone calls besides specific emergency numbers to be dailed.

I would think that the easiest start would be to possibly modify(

IF EVEN POSSIBLE

) that screen to include 3 buttons as opposed to 1. and that the emergency dialer be modified to be called guest dialer and allow any calls to go out.. and perhaps a setting could be embedded that allows for the other two buttons to open up access to apk files of our choosing so that I could select a specific broswer that i dont use, so that my history would be hidden as well as some generic sms program( maybe one that only receives txts while open )
[Hero CDMA General] Cloned2:
What ever, this would be A LOT cheaper than buying a second as well as having to carry a second phone.

Plus the money supports the community by giving it to a developer and or developers as well as gives another modification to the community.
[Hero CDMA General] crunchybutternut:
Not sure if it is possible, just throwing it out there.

Let's assume that the main concept works (lockscreen with limited phone, sms, internet, etc) what if pressing menu a second time simply went to the pattern unlock.

I know this usually comes up before the actual lockscreen, but it might be possible to change the order in which they appear.
[Hero CDMA General] dmc971989:
the only problem... hitting menu twice will still take you to the home screen
[Hero CDMA General] Cloned2:
I think I may be throwing confusion out here because

I am using lockscreen to mean the pattern unlock screen.

Apoligizes
[Hero CDMA General] Cloned2:
Hitting menu twice from the default pattern unlock screen, never takes you to the home screen, not even when going into the emergency dialer. Not even when calling 911 and even when you end the 911 call it goes right back to the pattern unlock screen.

( And refrain from calling 911 as some police departments take it very seriously, mine on the other hand doesn't )

Still apologizing for the confusion taken when I mean default pin pattern unlock screen while saying lockscreen.

The screen that appears after the lockscreen, when this is set. (For anyone who has never set or used or seen it.
[Hero CDMA General] dmc971989:
excuse me then... it had been so long since i had used the lock screen i couldnt remember if it was in front or behind the drag down lock bar
[Hero CDMA General] Cloned2:
Pin pattern screen is behind lock screen.. if that is what you mean by what you are asking.

And when I saw lockscreen I am ( NOW, Unlike before.. lol :/ ) referring to this

And before I was saying lock screen and referring to this, ( Which now I am calling Pin pattern screen... * sigh .. lol)

Best actually exact image I could find.
[Hero CDMA General] MotherMayI:
i feel this way some people i just dont want seeing certain stuff on my phone, and i have some a-hole guy friends who im trying to not associate with anymore but for some reason idk he asks to texts, makes the text then snoops like he is not done texting...soooooo annoying i get so pissed...ugh! and its not like im doing anything wrong it just really annoys me when people are doing stuff that they shouldnt, common sense... right?

idea: i think it could be like an addition to the pattern lock...maybe like if you press the top left button it goes directly to compose, and top right button goes to the dialer. and then to unlock you just put in the pattern lock....or if anything just have the buttons show up above the pattern lock and then press menu and have the option to bring up the pattern lock or just press menu to bypass the 'locked shortcuts' and skip to the lock-pattern screen...i think that would be the most basic/effective way. theres no other reason someone else should be using your phone besides a text or a phone call...if they need to browse that bad they can tell you where to go on your own phone for them, if not they dont need to. but ya, hopefully my idea helps...
[Hero CDMA General] johndoehizzle:
Use a lock screen pattern.when they press the end button,most people press it alot to make sure its ended,when they do that theyll put thee phone to sleep,making it locked again...just my 2 cents...
[Hero CDMA General] MotherMayI:
then you would only have to set up the pattern lock whenever youre going out or think you will be in that kind of situation... it should be worth setting it if you dont want people snoopin
[Hero CDMA General] xtkxhom3r:
i would throw in a extra 20 for a app like this...

even if its not a lock screen maybe something that locks out cert apps/featuers unless you enter the correct pw...

and the home button shouldnt be a problem. just look at wavesecure they got it down to where there is no way around their phone lock...
[Hero CDMA General] Cloned2:
I think what would need to be done is this, which if it is or isn't possible, I don't know.

There is already the emergency dialer, that "could" be renamed and possibly the permissions for it unlocked.

The button may be able to be duplicated and have one more on each side, one for SMS and one for possibly the native browser ( since most don't use it anyways [the features for check for default browser would probably have to be deactivated]) And additionally something might need to go in somewhere, probably the default browser, which takes it back to the pattern screen unless of course that pattern screen keeps its persistence on its own.. Which it appears to since i dialed 911.

The SMS could be an alternative from our normal SMS program, one that would probably have to be forced closed once pattern unlock is initiated - [to keep it from receiving texts.. and i don't think that there will be any way around them receiving one of our regular texts, if they just so happen to be sent while they are using there guest SMS but as long as they don't start it, i don't see why it would]

I don't know how to do this stuff, but i figure throwing my thoughts out there might help someone who can, get an exact idea of what might exactly need to happen.
[Hero CDMA General] Cloned2:
I always use a lock screen but people are smarter than to not learn to press the end button because then they have to keep asking me to unlock it.

It's just they come up with valid excuses to "need" to use my phone.
[Hero CDMA General] Cloned2:
How much????
[Hero CDMA General] scirio:
I'll throw $ at this too. If not for women but for a "Granda needs to use the phone mode" or guest mode.

$10
[Hero CDMA General] xtkxhom3r:
so we have a total of 80 bucks in the pot.... any more takers???
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
Looks like replacing the lockscreen is something you can do in android 2.0 and later.

Here's a developer that is creating exactly what you're asking for, and seems like he's already also added custom launchers/widgets as a proof of concept.

I wish I could develop it and get your dollars, but no sense in re-inventing the wheel :D

I want what I want and I will pay for it.
[Hero CDMA General] xtkxhom3r:
for now i guess the best we can do is blacklist the txt threads we want with handcent so they dont show up unless we click on show blacklisted items and put the correct password... thats what i do... but i would love to be able to password protect my call history and pics :D
[Hero CDMA General] Cloned2:
That guys program isn't going to cut it for me...

Maybe if we can get a decent pot going some one here can...
[Hero CDMA General] jvz555:
Is it because they look through your pr0n? :p
[Hero CDMA General] RoidPusher:
If only Tiger had an app like this....
[Hero CDMA General] realmrealm:
Long way around

It's not a good solution, but you could (assuming your rooted):

One time Preparation:

* nandroid backup

* wipe

* customize your phone with just text, phone, and browser icons on the home screen with no extra programs installed - heck, don't even sign in with a google logon either.

* nandroid backup this "guest" rom

* restore the nandroid of your "normal" rom

When someone needs to use your phone:

* ask them to wait a couple minutes while you finish up with something

* boot to recovery

* nandroid backup

* restore your "guest" rom.

When they are done:

* boot to recovery

* restore your "normal" rom

the only thing this wouldn't cover (and I don't think any situation will cover) is if you received a text message

I realize that this may take as much as 5 minutes, but it solves all issues that we've mentioned. If only there was a way to nandroid backup and restore quicker.

anyway that's my $0.02

-AndyS-
[Hero CDMA General] xtkxhom3r:
lmfao.... flash the rom each time yea right you have any idea how long that would take....
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
he said its not the best solution but hey unless one of you wants to try to code this app at least he was trying to be helpful.
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
LOL!

fantastic man
[Hero CDMA General] kyrumo71:
Get a girl with confidence would fix it :-)
[Hero CDMA General] david_ag:
Or just simply stop fooling around, and your girl wouldn't be able to catch anything suspicious on your phones LOL
[Hero CDMA General] Cloned2:
Stop treating me like a suspect and i'll stop being one.
[Hero CDMA General] Nanan00:
Ah, by that logic if police stopped arresting people for breaking the law, they would stop breaking the law?

What you are after is something I would love to see... but... the way the lock screen and home button are coded at the core of the 1.5 and 1.6 Android kernel, I doubt it would work, as that guy in the link was doing with the 2.0 lockscreen intercept yea that might work but it might also just totally lock you out of your phone with no hope of recovery.
[Hero CDMA General] david_ag:
Don't incriminate yourself, I just put up a comment out for anyone out there ;)

If you feel it was for you... too bad
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
Well if you just want to restrict access to certain apps then it might be possible to temporarily "break" the phone.

If you are rooted and use apps2sd then you could unmount the data partition. However, that would cause all sorts of problem so an app would have to be developed. I figure have a "backup" folder with only the apps and data you want accessed and then the app would unmount the data partition and copy the backup to the appropriate folders.

Couple problems would be how long the process would take.

Would the phone recover to a usable state after the backup is put into the data folder? (I don't think it would since an apps2sd phone crashes if you pull the sd)

Also this wouldn't fix the problem call history(or txt message if you choose to leave a messenger on). Those are stored somewhere else but could probably be moved.

If this app would even work then it would be a simple install and it works type of app. It would take a lot of setup from the user.

Yeah but there are plenty of other apps that can connect to skype

This is on their FAQ:

Why can’t I download Skype Lite or Skype for Windows Mobile?

Unfortunately, Skype Lite – a version of Skype for your mobile phone – and Skype for Windows Mobile are no longer available for download from our site. We’ve chosen to withdraw Skype Lite and Skype for Windows Mobile because we want to offer our new customers an improved mobile experience – much like the version that has proved so popular on the iPhone , and which is now available on Symbian

It seems to suggest a new version coming?
