This seems like a pretty obvious question but all the searches I do come up with unrelated stuff about the phone lock screen but.....
Can you set some sort of pin/pattern to access the settings menu of your phone? basically so anytime someone clicks on a settings shortcut they get a prompt asking for a code to access it.
Seems like a nice and simple security measure but I can't seem to find anyway to make it possible.
Maybe this is a more general Android question than one for the GN but a GN and ICS is what I have
Look for "app protector" in the market.
Thanks but the free lite version on the market has so pretty bad reviews for it that look nasty
Honest question, why would you want to do this?
Well to stop people like my kids wiping settings like market to buy in app purchase with no pin is one example

Can't you tell them not to do that? Otherwise they don't get to use your phone?
Seems more like a parenting issue all of the sudden..
Well that was just an example another would be to stop people resetting Google wallet if youloose your phone and have no lock screen on wake
i set a PIN password on mine (which requires you to enter a PIN every time the phone is rebooted, and i use the autolock toggle from Widgetsoid 2.x Donate to temporarily disable the PIN lock when i'm in a safe area like at home for instance (no kids here). the PIN is restored by the OS if the phone is rebooted.
i dunno about the GNex, but on my Moto phone, you can bypass apps like App Protector by rebooting the phone into safe mode. that's not a risk with my method, access is controlled by the OS as long as the PIN is not temporarily disabled.
You really should be setting up a phone lock AND minding who's using your phone.
For app purchases, you can setup a pin for the market if you're worried about your kids purchasing apps, but the system-wide restrictions settings are quite limited compared with the setting which iOs offers.

I kind of agree but some time its a pain to constantly have the screen lock on
As for app purchaces like I said above all you have to do is go into settings\apps
and clear market data and the pin code is gone and you can buy anything again
And your kids would know how to go into settings and clear cache for the market and then go buy a app?
It's simple. Don't let your kids use your phone, I don't understand why you would let them use it anyway. You give it the risk of having it being dropped / damaged / etc.

Guys please stop these kinds of useless responses. If you have an answer, a useful one of course, share it with us. If not, leave your personal suggestion to yourselves.
I bet most of you don't have kids, and apparently didn't have an answer to his request. However, instead of trying to find an app that could help the guy, you offer something you are obviously not qualified to be asked about in the first place.

Let me ask this again, why does your 14 month old have access to a 600-700 dollar device? It is not a toy for babies.
heh Most of the unlock apps in the market do let you lock the settings so that's that problem solved guess I just think it would be a nice default in a rom
I didn't want to post this in the CM9 dev thread because it is not dev related.
First off..
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/security-and-you
Users will be able to configure their exposure to root as:
Disabled
Enabled for ADB only
Enabled for Apps only
Enabled for both
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So this is what I am thinking.. The CM team is not just going to come out and say "This is how we get around Google's (and other's) 'you can't use this app if your device is rooted' thing".. But if you can disable/enable root with a setting it seems to me you wont have to worry about not being able to access certain apps, or features of apps, because of root.
Example: My "Horrible Bosses" BD came with a digital copy only accessible through the Flixster app. Because of the "security risks" Flixster will only let you view/download the movie on non-rooted devices. The simple fix to this was to download OTArootkeeper (which is an awesome app), the app essentially is a switch to enable/disable root access. Turn root off, Flixster never knows the difference.
It seems to me CM has just integrated this feature into their ROM, and maybe improved upon it. Any time an app (Flixster, Google Video & even maybe Google Wallet) will not work because you are on a rooted device, just turn it off. I have even heard of some people that cannot access databases at work because of root, seams like the same thing applies here.
So what do y'all think? Does this sound like a legitimate thought? Obviously being rooted is a security risk, and CM is becoming more mainstream. But still.. Do you think I am that far off? And do you think the "feature" will function just like I have described it? Just came to get you opinions on this change.
Sounds like you've hit the nail on the head there, although I don't see why company's don't want you consuming there content if your rooted.

Possibly, the last time I tried I got shot down. I'm not sure which of the root option(s) the Market looks for (?). Want to test, but can't find a movie I want to see just yet.

... possible advantage: have a phone manufacturer use CM as their firmware? yes....?
This was actually mentioned sometime earlier... a month or 2 ago... the idea was that if the ROM provided the best level of customization, root really should not be needed for the average user... but the ROM would still have the option to enable root if the user wanted too...

That's the problem though. The average user would not know what root is and activate it and would do something to their phone that would cause problems. U.S. carriers will not like this.
I wonder if Tasker or llama could be setup to turn root off when a particular app runs?

Its strange to me that some people are reporting root not affecting Google Video. I haven't tried it on my Nexus, between TiVo Netflix and Redbox there is no reason for me to, but on my Atrix when Video first released I remember it saying I couldnt use the app because my device was rooted..
Those of you able to use the Google Videos app on a rooted device, what root method did you use?
Maybe I'm missing a setting, but there seems to be something wrong with setting alarms. If I set an alarm on my 360 it doesn't go off on the phone, and if I set an alarm on the phone it doesn't vibrate on the watch.

The watch and phone have different alarm systems. They are not connected to each other in any way. The alarm on the watch is embedded within the Android Wear OS clock itself. When you set it on your phone, it is embedded into the clock app specifically for your Android phone/tablet/whatever. Unless a developer creates an app which syncs alarms over both devices, they shall remain disconnected. Unless Google decides to change that with a newer version of Android Wear

Which has been pointed out in nearly every mention on any Android Wear device. The OS is a couple months old, of course there are improvements to be made.
I can't believe this either. I've not got a wear device yet so was invisaging managing my alarms with my watch. The fact that I won't be able to set alarms with the watch that I'll be able to hear is pretty disappointing, even if I did sleep with my watch on the vibration would never wake me up up making it pretty useless.

I know the OS is in its infancy, but that shouldn't be an improvement IMO, it's something that should have been working in 1.0. That's such an obvious feature to include...

I have another issue on clock when I connect my Moto X Style (Android 5.1.1) to Moto 360 2nd gen (6.0.1).
When I set my clock on the phone, on the morning, the phone clock alarming, however, occasionally, the alarming was tuned off. But I never touched either the watch or the phone.
Is there anything wrong?
I used to be a Pebble user and there was an app I used a lot called Pebble Pulse that you used to take someone's pulse. You pushed a button, counted 10 beats and pushed it again and it would tell you the person's pulse. I can't find anything like it for Android Wear.
What android wear device are you using?
Moto 360
I have this pretty much done just need to figure out how to make it an installable apk for a wear device and then I will post it. Stand by!

Well that was a pain in the arse to publish. Took me way longer to publish than to write the darn thing. Here's a link to the apk:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2zqrXJ0FV50WE0zWjFIcjItTE0/view?usp=sharing
Basically just tap the screen to start, count 10 beats, tap again.
Make sure you have "unknown sources" checked on your phone to be able to install the apk. Let me know what you think. It is bare bones and I don't wan't to put it in the play store until I get your feedback. Do you think there is a demand for an app like this?
If after installing on your phone, the app doesn't show on your 360 for some reason, let me know.
Ok you rock, where do I donate?
EMS related apps are hard to find. I think it's an untapped genre
Awesome! Glad you like it! Any suggestions? I added a "Donate to me" button under my name on the left. Thanks!
It's simple, works great. It's fine for me. Others might like color controls or something I guess... Not sure
Btw, let me know when you get it in Google play. I'll be the first to review it
Were you ever going to put this on the Play Store?
doesn't uninstall!
Installs fine here. I've installed it on 4.4.2 and 5.0

I as well, was a pebble user (also thank you for telling me about Pulse Timer) just got my LG Urbane and this app is the first app installed. The most useful medical app out there.
THANK YOU!!!

Can the same exact thing for breaths per minute? The app can look exactly the same but instead of tapping after 10 heartbeats, you would tap after two breaths?
I don't think this app will work for that but it would be great to have heart rate on top and ventilations on bottom.
Sent from my LG-AS991 using Tapatalk
Hey guys! So sorry I missed all this. I thought I was subscribed to the thread, but I wasn't, so I never got emails for posts and this kinda fell by the wayside for me.
I would love to modify the app to do ventilation on bottom. I will work on it this weekend and will have it ready by next week. I do have my own developer account now (previously was just my work account), so once I get it done I will put this in the app store for all to download. I won't charge anything for it.
I'm very glad to hear this app is being used! It's really nice to know this is something that can be used to help someone in trouble, and that to me is the most rewarding thing.
I will update here once I have this ready to go.
Has anyone tried to see what works with some bloatware disabled & what doesn't work? Personally I would like the iris scanner and samsung pay to be enabled and everything else disabled.

I'm rather confused by this thread. Is the poster asking what will 'break' if you disabled all the bloatware? Or asking something else entirely? Cause you can disable everything that comes on any phone and it'll always work just fine.
And I have no idea what Android 7.0 would have to do with bloatware, or what KNOX would have to do with bloatware...

I can't speak for the O.P.,but,my guess is, as with me, just making sure that it works before purchasing the Note 7,especially for those of us with the Snapdragon powered versions that may have no other way to disable bloat.
JMHO, but, the Q&A regarding functionality of PDP, whatever they may be, are of merit & might as well have a thread addressing the subject.
Most realize you can disable the bloat, but,not everyone, including yours truly, understand exactly how it works & why only on Samsung devices.
The Knox tie-in makes sense to me, even without a full understanding of how it works.

KNOX doesn't make much sense to me, because that's just a security platform. It just makes sure you protected from being 'hacked' per say. As in like, it adds an extra layer of security over your phone so someone can't just pick it up and plug it into a computer to gain access to all of your stuff. Though thats only the very loosest of analogies.
But I have to ask what you exactly mean by the "not everyone understands exactly how it works and why only on Samsung devices". Do you mean as in why disabling works? or something else. Because you can disable the bloatware on any android phone so long as the carrier and manufacturer didn't lock the option out. Which most devices will let you do it now because of the whole 'you'll get sued for forcing users to use a specific thing without giving them a way out' (an example would be microsoft getting sued over the bundling of Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office with the earlier Windows OS's).
What I'm wondering is, based on the title of the thread after thinking about it some, does the OP mean an app that disables/uninstalls bloat? Because I'm sure there are plenty of apps out there that do it. But most I think require Root in order to do it properly and reliably. I use Sprint for my service, and its Sprint ID and such are a pain in the ass, and they can't just be 'disabled' easily even though there is the option to (every time you disable it, Sprint just re-installs it the next time you reboot the phone because it thinks it got uninstalled somehow). But to get it to disable properly on my Note 5, I had to install some random app that I think was called App Quarantine. It looked like a bio-hazard symbol for the icon. I haven't re-installed it since this last wipe I was forced to do, so I can't remember exactly lol. But it was the only one that would let me actually disable the Sprint ID stuff and not have it re-install all the time.

Yes it's an app in the Google Play Store that has the ability to disable literally anything on Samsung devices,WITHOUT ROOT, so, care must be taken to not get carried away & I recommend only disabling, not deleting, in the event of not being able to take an update otherwise.
Not everything can be disabled natively, so, that explains the appeal of the app.
If you used it, you'd see the tie-in with Knox........

Then that makes alot more sense. I originally just thought they were basically asking if there was an app to disable everything instead of having to do it manually. I've always just manually disabled everything cause its not that hard to do. Just find the troublesome things and hit that disable button lol. But if this can do it all in one quick swoop, then I'm all in =O I'll definitely be looking into it later today when my phone finally arrives...
Sprint screwed up my pre-order, and is sending me the wrong device, so I have to take it into a store to get it exchanged because they refused to cancel my pre-order or change the order at all even though I legitimately ordered the dang thing 2 minutes past midnight on the 3rd. So ontop of that, they also didn't ship the phone when they said they would, AND the put restrictions on my package. I normally have to physically go to a UPS location to pick up my packages cause the dumb driver will never deliver to my house... always states that they can't find my house even though its the ONLY house down the ONLY long driveway... heck you can SEE my house above the trees! But nope, the guy wont deliver. But because of the restrictions, UPS wont let me flag the package as 'hold for pickup' like usual, so I gotta stand at the end of my drive way for hours upon hours just to catch the UPS driver. Then I gotta drive all the way into town to HOPEFULLY exchange the phone for the Black Onyx variant that I was supposed to get...
Anyway, sorry for the ramble o-o; didn't realize it was that long XD

It's a nice tool to have, a powerful one.
Just a friendly piece of advice :
Read up on it before using, check the FAQs on the developers site if need be & go conservative at 1st if you're not familiar with what is safe to disable.
The app gives color-coded guidelines per each app on what is known to be safe to disable. You can go above and beyond that, but, mainly, just disable, do not delete anything & leave the stock keyboard alone.
You might be able to disable the stock launcher, provided you have another one installed, but, I'd leave it alone until you're certain one way or the other........

Lol I'd only disable the things I already know I need to disable. Like all the Sprint stuff. I leave the Samsung stuff alone cause I actually use alot of Samsung's things. But as for Sprint's stuff? All of that goes bye bye lol. Now that is assuming it doesn't somehow show things that you normally can't see from the applications manager. In which case then I wouldn't bother, cause I don't see much of a point lol.

Go with either one,the Pro+ has a hardware lockdown feature,otherwise,there two are identical:

I'm guessing Samsung still has a partnership w/Cheetah Mobile,which is one of the main reasons I like having this app,Package Disabler Pro,on-board to ward off the data mining/crapware/etc...
However,I'm not seeing anything in the apps,system or otherwise,that's jumping out & identifying itself as CheetahMobile/CleanMaster/etc.......
I'm guessing it's some/all of the apps identified w/the "Smart" moniker,but,I'm not 100% certain on that.
Anyone have an idea on which,if any,of the apps are actual CheetahMobile bloatware?
Thanks In Advance!
Using EZ Disabler here. Works well, but you gotta be careful using "disable bloat" part as it will turn off many useful things. I just went through and picked what i wanted. Very Easy to use though
Thanks for recommending Package Disabler Pro. I was worried Since not rooted. In past had always used TB . This worked Great!!

Why would you guys use an app for disabling stuff.
Since we're on xda, enable USB debugging and use pm (package manager) cmd from adb shell.
For instance: adb shell pm hide 'package'
There are other interesting options: list, install, uninstall.
