app hiding behind a fake camera app. - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know of a few apps that do this for example an app called hide it pro. I hides behind an app called audio manager and in order to get to it you have to do a long press on the title and enter a pass word to open the app. the app doesnt show in your app tray or anything and the audio manager actually can control your volume and everything.
well I was about to take a pic with my girls phone and noticed a random app called magnifier. when you open it it just goes to a crappy camera app with no special features. the app doesnt show in the app drawer nor does it show in google play ass downloaded. I even checked in the app manager and still nothing. anybody know anything about this or heard about this? i even googled it and there is no such app with that same icon picture.

I can give you one to play with if you want. Its a work in progress as far as a full home-replacement app. I am working on making an app drawer, then making everything around that. Like I said, I can make an .apk for you that is a simple grid view that shows all the apps on the device and launches them. There is a random layout animation that plays when the gridView is first called. Just pm me if you would like to try it out

locking the task bar

is there any way to lock the task bar at the bottom. sometimes my son play games on it and he accidently presses the task manager or opens up the wifi settings.
no reply?? i guess there is no way to do this.
Check this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.touchblocker
Maybe it's what you're looking for.
Or you could use the hide status bar app so there's no chance to touch anything

Quick window doesn't work

As always, I got a new phone and raced to root and debloat. From there I started looking at cool things the phone will do and remembered the quick window feature. I dont have the case yet, so I just used a magnet to activate it. The quick window just shows up black with three dots below. Anyone have an idea of what I might have frozen or uninstalled that is required for the quick window to display actual information?

Well, I guess through trial and error, I figured it out.
Just incase anyone else was wondering:
Music 4.2.5 ( used display the widget, continues to work just says "can't display widget" on the quickwindow)
Music 4.1.11 (won't play music unless installed)
Clock Widget (digital/analog clocks)
Weather 4.1.8.1 and Weather Theme 4.1.8.1
My assumption, but not through testing is that you could remove any of these if desired, it would just say tat it can't display the widget for that page.
Sure would be nice to replace these, I personally use Google play music so don't really have a desire for another music app on the phone, but at least I can hide the icons.

Thanks for your reply but don't keep activities is already unticked.
When I use any applock it works fine.but when I open the 'applock app' and swipe it from the recent activities it's permanently terminated.and then locked apps like whatsapp can be opened without password bcz the applock is not running in background.
Same happens when I swipe jio4gvoice from recent apps the app notification form the status bar disappears and no calls can be made from phones built in dialer.i think u got my point now.

Changing default camera app

I've installed the GCam app APK and it is working fine, I've also set it as the default application for camera in settings.
Even with this, whenever I double click the power button (I've got this set to launch the camera) or expand the camera icon in the bottom right of the lockscreen, it still launches the OnePlus camera app rather than the one I've set as default.
Is there a way to change this to open the other camera app, rather than the OnePlus one?
I've also tried installing a different camera app from the app store in case but the same thing happens.
Can anyone help with this please?
