How to add a folder to the app menu

Is it possible to add a folder in the app menu to hide apps that I don't want my son to use while he is playing on my phone. I've tried the Audio Manager app but it locks up when I try to hide an app. My phone is rooted and I can get to the apps menu in file explore but I didn't want to add anything until I asked.

If you still have the stock froyo with mysense running, you can enable profiles in mymodes.
Home, setting, mymodes

Notification tip

Incase I'm not the only person left who never realised this.
In JB if you have annoying apps/games (games mostly) that don't have inbuilt options to turn off notications, ie autorap. You can turn them off by going to settings - apps - select app - untick the box "show notifications"
Can't believe I never noticed this already

Most of the games which spam with notifications have an option to disable it in their ingame menu

Not all, like I said autorap doesn't, others too

The other trick is to long press the notification which will bring up an option to view the App Info. Removing several steps.

Disable clicking

Anyone know how to disable the click on the keyboard? Seems simple but have yet to find the option outside if turning the sound of completely.

When the keyboard is open there is a settings button next to the space bar. Hit that go to advanced and turn off the sound.

Update: disabled using microphone/settings button on the keyboard... should have looked a little more

Long press power and a popup menu should appear with reboot/power off options and a screenshot option at the bottom.

If the screenshot option isn't there, it can be enabled by: Settings>System>On/off Button>Screenshot.

If I press power button for long I get power off, reboot, airplane mode and ringer toggles/buttons.
There is no such 'system', on off button or screenshot options in my phone's settings
What to do now?

Press volume down button and power off button for a second. That should work on any android build ICS or higher.
Tap'n

[Q] Question: Can you force the home/back keys to stay on screen at all times?

Question: Can you force the home/back keys to stay on screen at all times? Like say if you go into the camera the buttons disappear. Is there a way to force them to be on all the time?

Yeah mine are on all the time.

They don't disappear on mine. However on mine the icons turn into dots sometimes, like in the camera. Not sure why.

Buttons stay or go away based upon the app you are using. Camera...they stay on. Netflix or any other video, they go bye bye. Varies by app I believe
