Hi guys
Does anyone know of a good notepad/memo app that actually encrypts the notes (probably with 256 aes)?
There's loads o play store that say they encrypt things but all they really do is either store them with unknown extension , just hide them, or store them and the passwords in plain text.
also the odd few i found that was meant to encrypt everything wouldn't run on lollipop.
So any recommendations ?

Thanks for the reply ; )
Keeper looked really good until I got to all the cloud and autofill passwords features (there's probably even a "forgot my password" option).
Also I think it's law that US companies need to put a back door to security software.
Any others?

If it's the app I'm thinking of, there was a few reviews that said that it actually stores the password in clear text that can be viewed with a file browser or by plugging the phone into a computer.

ok ill look into it a bit more
Just to confirm, its this app your talking about:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.mm.android.securememo&hl=en_GB
Has anyone heard about safe notes:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.isbell.ben.safenotes&hl=en_GB
I just tried secure memo and I REALLY don't like the way that all the notes are on one page.
They should have a title that you click on to view the note.
Any other apps out there ?
Anyone else ?

Thanks for that
You know, I've been spending so much time trying to find away to root my s5 without tripping knox and I didn't even think of it being helpful to me...lol
Having said that, do you think I would still be able to use a knox container after I've rooted the phone.
In the meantime, if anyone know of any other apps then please let me know ;

Hmmm...
Maybe I should avoid using it then just in case I decide to root it and it trips Knox.
I really don't know why I'm finding it so hard to find a good encrypted notepad app

Its not that im being picky or sceptical.
I just want a encrypted notepad that does what it says it does by actually encrypting the notes and not just hiding them.
And I don't want to have all the notes on one page as it just complicates things, its better to have all the notes separate so you can click the title of each one to view them.
I'm still looking for recommendations so if anyone has found a good app then please let me know
How about this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inno.securenote

Yeah, but just one thing, not everything is bloat, and blocking it is sometimes, or most times becomes an obsession rather than necessity.

Nope it doesn't free up memory. It's still there but unusable. Btw this option has been available in android since ICS, nothing new.

Simple proof of concept
do a benchmark
disable majority of heavy apps
benchmark again
again this tip will help people who does not want to root
Knox, why did I do this?
Just installed it, and now don't want it,I don't have root, the reason why I want to get rid of it is I'm sure it will use up something in the background, it's there a way of just having it like I had it before, not installed?I know it's on the phone,
Please help guys.
Thanks

Knox is very simple to remove.
When in the Knox area, tap on the left capacitive 'menu' key, then select KNOX SETTINGS, then select ABOUT KNOX, then select UNINSTALL.

I'm looking for a Photo Hiding App that requires a password to enter the app and then the ability to have folders inside the app that requires a password for each folder. Just like Photo Vault on the iPhone. I'm a photographer and I keep my clients sample pics on my phone and I need the ability to make sure they don't look at other folders while looking at there pics. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!!!
SafeCamera is what I use I love it I think its in the playstore if just PM me for it

Thanks for the recommendation……but I can't get it to do what I want…maybe you can help…..this is what I want it to do. I want to have a passcode to enter the app (which it does) then I want to have individual folders inside the app (which it does) and I want to have each folder have it's OWN passcode to enter the folder…..and I'm not sure if it can do this…..and if it can I can't figure out how to do it.
Lol!! You need fort Knox dfl uummm I don't know of any app that does that !!

LOL……that made me laugh so hard I snorted!! Does fort knox have an app? I'm a photographer and I keep my clients pic samples on my phone for them to view…..and I don't want them to be able to open another clients folder and see there pics…..that's why I want to be able to lock each folder with it's own password I was using Photo Vault on the iPhone and it was perfect, but I can find anything like it it for android.
Try applock

One more question.
I've rooted and disabled know, but I keep getting this message. What's this about?
Also, I get FCs on a lot of apps either after backing out, or after using them a while. I'm completely stock aside from root and adaway

In Titanium Backup look for something that says Verizon and shows that Shield. Select and uninstall. Believe mine was called that, but I don't know why yours wouldn't be the same. You can also in the interim go into your apps on your phone and find that Icon and long hold, App Info, and Turn Off until you find the App to force Uninstall on TiBu
Hi I want to start my service after it is killed by the user or the system.
I thought about creating a second app and monitor if the service is running and if not then start it.
The problem I have with that is
- I need two apps
- It drains more battery
I hope you can help me find the best solution for my problem
Yeah, I think if you override the onDestroy method on your service class, and then you can send a broadcast from there.
In your broadcast receiver you can start the service again.
Though i have never tried it myself, i think this should work.
Tell me how it goes
Happy coding!! :thumbup:

I believe there is no such way... otherwise android would be very insecure for malware that just does this . You can only restart your service once the user restarts your activity, there should not be another way (and START_STICKY for the system of course). And please don't do two apps which listen for each other, if the user willingly kills your service they usually have a reason and expect that your app is not working right until they restart it.

I have heard that a lot but does that mean that all the security apps available on the play store can be killed by the user? :what:

Just an idea, it might be possible when your app is a Device Admin with the APIs that you get with that. Though you have to read it yourself, I have no clue about how it works.

Thanks I will look at that. Most people have my app as Device Admin because that way it can't be uninstalled
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well I found the solution.
When device admin is enabled the app can't be force-stopped or uninstalled. Then the user can only stop the service and then the onDestroy methode is called so then I can restart the service again. Tanks guys :thumbup:
