Help help regarding app security - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys as i stay in hostel and have to share the room with my room mate who is a douche .
I need an application which will pop up a message that android process or the app has force closed when he try to open any game on my phone .
From last few days he is constantly using my phone and playing games . Which is really creating problem for me . Hiding the app or applying a security code wont help . As he will constantly start to bug me for the pass code . That is why I need an app which will show a fake message of the app has stopped or something like that .so that he wont be bugging me then .
Please help me I would be really grateful to all you guys ! :fingers-crossed:

There are several app protector apps which displays those fake messages. But they all cost :/
You can just hide the apps instead? There's an app for that too (root is required for hiding)

Do you have Titanium Backup? It offers to freeze apps. If you do this they won't be shown in the launcher any more, until you unlock them again.
Hope this helps!

Yes that can be a solution also

Flash froyo
You can also set pictures of midgets having sex as wallpapers. That'll spook him off.

I know Hide it Pro (Audio Manager) does hide apps. It's free of charge
Even though hide it pro warns about hiding files, i used it and it turned out okay. this was only in my phone
And look at this

Then that was the most unhelpful reply mate !

I know, no app can help you say "nah man, wanna play with an SII, buy one, they are cheap right now".
What you could do is to buy a grumpy cat shirt.

Question about safe HTC stuff to remove.

I came from a t-mobile G2 over to EVO 3d. So I am very used to vanilla. Sense was fun for awhile. But I can't stand it anymore. I am temp rooted and running ADW Launcher EX. I just wanted to know what is safe for me to remove.
Or should I just tough it out and wait until we have CM?
Thanks

OMG WOW GOOGLE!!!!! NEVER HEARD OF THAT!!!! WAIT THERE IS A SEARCH BUTTON TOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOW..
Thanks ass. I know how to use search. But hey, you've got a point. I will just search each and everyone of these .apk's and unlike you if some one ask's I wont be a douch about it.
I don't think you can removed much since there is not full root yet, but for example if you removed friend stream that phone will keep syncing and syncing to find it so, your best bet is to wait, and yes you can removed some apps but not all of them, but that's an sprint feature htc sense apps are so deep in framework and it will mess up the configuration so yeah
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

I think the point here is you dont have to google every apk you want to disable. You just have to find the post with all the apk's you can disable. Which their is alot of information here on xda about this topic. It would of took you 5 mins to look!

Something Wierd with MiniCM 7 2.1.1! Must look.

Today I was just playing with settings menu--> About Phone and accidentally something wierd Looking picture opened on screen . I was rather surprised to see that photo popping up into the setting menu.
So I again started touching screen here and there and finally got the method of opening that picture.
Here is the method :
Open Setting menu and then navigate to ABOUT PHONE menu .
Then go to the MOD VERSION . Now touch the screen rapidly , violently and spontaneously where it shows MiniCM7 2.1.1 [ 5-6 times tapping] and then the photo will appear . Photo will look as attached below !

...how do i hide my dirty pictures?

So far for my "dirty" pictures (I SWEAR TO GOD IF SOMEONE ASKS ME WHAT THEY ARE OR IF THEY WANT ME TO SEND IT TO THEM.... MOTHER..) I've been "hiding" them in /emmc/images/.nomedia/ right now.
I'm tired of going ALL the way there for just a picture or two, is there a app that can HIDE my gallery albums that i choose to hide? and show the ones i want it to show?
I'm on ICS Passion, so it must be ICS compatible.
"Hide it pro", its gonna be your bestfriend bro! [;
Great app, know any file explorer apps that will let me MASS select then SHARE them? root explorer doesn't seem to have a share option.
What are they? I want you to send them to me!
Share as in send? If so the no/:

Best thing I could suggest is to use Root Explorer to select multiple files, zip them, and then send the .zip.
Now my question to you is... If your trying to find out how to hide the pictures of your "ballsack" then why do you want to know how to send multiple files at once?........ oh god!

Have I caught a virus?

The title says it all... I couldn't find information about it anywhere. Yesterday I was looking at some sweet live wallpapers on the market and suddenly I found a good one... But I had to buy the full version to customize it so I searched on google for the apk, found one, installed it... After installing I realised there was 2 new internet shortcuts on my home screen .. Now this morning, I got this notification, "Grab your iPad3", is that a virus? How do I get rid of this b.s?
Any help is more than appreciated

That's actually a specific type of ad. They use the notification bar. I would uninstall personally.

I had something similar happen to me on my Thrive a while back. Turned it an app I installed piggy backed an add thing onto my device. Not sure if that is exactly what is happening to you but try out this app. It will tell you if an app uses a few specific app frameworks that may be responsible so you can remove the offending apps. Best of luck!
Which apk did you install? One similar or a cracked version of a paid app?

No problemos and same here, google should ban those apps from the market!
You could also install avast... I have been using it since it came out. Realtime protection... doesnt do much but run always, but you'll know when it does get something.
id never use any app that uses airpush. rather buy a paid version. do people really think we'd like to be notified every 5 minutes that we've won an iPad, or that we'd like their app even more?

Not trying to bash or flame but anti viruses are useless to android phones
Only good thing that they do and that's if it comes with the feature is track down your phone if its stolen
But like I said they're useless

Yup, same with Lookout. However, you can disable the "virus checker" and just leave the phone recovery portion installed.

This is what happens when you pirate apps. XDA doesnt condone the use of pirated apps nor does it support the use of them.

Can anyone help speeding things up a bit?

Hi there! I'm having some doubts about the phone, switching between apps forces app refresh, even if I switch only for a couple of seconds. If I was filling up a form and had to check something in another app (let's say a bank app), everything I completed resets itself. If I was using a browser, leave it for a couple of seconds, come back, it refreshes the website (spending data and time). Any way to make it better? A really fast phone but this is bothering me.
Here is a video I recorded to show what I mean.
https://youtu.be/b_wrBgJrS4M
Tried limiting 4 background process as someone suggested me but it didn't change behavior.
The phone is a Leeco Le Max 2, android version MIUI .14
Any ideas?
Thanks!

U have not to limit the background process as it will close all ur opened apps.
Or
U may go to the developer settings and make sure u have unchecked this "dont keep activities"
