Asus Zenfone 5z - is there a way to lock any App by default ? - Asus Zenfone 5Z Questions & Answers

Is there a way to lock any app by default ? or we have to use third party app like CM Security Master ?
If it is possible to lock any app (say Whatsapp) by default, please share the steps.
thanks

Hello @milindkt
Update: Update to latest Zen UI Launcher from Play Store, long press on an empty area in desktop, select preferences and then App Lock.
Follow these steps to set app lock:
1. Open Mobile Manager app.
2. Go to Security and permissions.
3. Go to Privacy and security scan.
(Wait for the scan to finish or simply cancel it.)
4. Click on the 3 dots menu at the top right corner.
5. Select app lock.

Tasker profile to change input to Swiftkey on reboot

Hi,
I use SwiftKey ($) as my standard keyboard on the S3 since the built in keyboard mostly stinks. But the one problem is the input method reverts to the Samsung keyboard when the device reboots. I searched around & couldn't find exactly what I was after, so thought I'd post my solution here to pay it forward. :angel:
Requirements:
Rooted phone (using SuperSU free)
Tasker ($)
Secure Settings (free)
Busybox (free)
Process:
0. before starting, install Secure Settings, go to system+ tab, click to enable. It will help you get busybox if not installed. Once installed, again go to system+ tab and get it Enabled.
1. create a tasker "Event" profile
2. Event type is System>Device Boot. There are no options here, tap to go back
3. New task, give it a name ("Change Input Method" is good)
4. + to create an action, then Task>Wait. I put 40 seconds here. This is the delay after reboot before tasker goes & changes the method. It takes a while for my phone to be ready to roll after a reboot. YMMV. Tap top left to go back.
5. Now + to add another action and select plugin
6. Secure Settings, pencil to modify configuration
7. System+ Actions>Input Method, tap to select the input method (Swiftkey for me but this could be anything you want).
8. Click the save icon.
That's it. Try rebooting and see if the input method is changed to Swiftkey after the reboot. Works for me! Enjoy! :laugh:

"Allow Nova Launcher to open ... ?" - annoying message

I use official Chinese rom on Redmi Note 5 (pro, 3/32GB) with Nova launcher. Unfortunately when I try to open an app that I've installed via Google Play or .apk file I get a permission request "Allow Nova Launcher to open ... ?".
Is there a simple way (except for flashing a new rom) to remove this? It happens once a reboot - if I say OK then I can use this particular app without further messages, but when I reboot the phone the issue comes back. So far gave Nova all permissions possible but no luck.
As any other apps also have the same annoying message
Each boot, Eaxh apps will have"allow *** to open" sorta message pop-up. Tried googling but found nothing. My phone China ROM too.
Anyone knows how to disable the security thingy?
Security app >manage apps>permission>Auto start
Enable Auto start for all apps
Et voila !
(It's not that Nova doesn't have permission to open these apps . These apps aren't allowed to be started by other apps , that's the problem)

I remove app gmail with xiamitool, reinstall gmail and delete data, but i have same problem.
In battery optimization setting gmail not show, is normally?
Miui 12.0.5.
Mine works, I'm using the default installation of Gmail, I removed some apps with ADB but not Gmail and I'm not rooted or anything. The only thing I've changed regarding the battery optimisation is for LastPass password manager
