Re: Lock Media Player with password

Im not hiding porn at my Device arghhh #$%^@
I have database copy on my phone from my Client (Oracle DBA) and own graphic design art files, like projects, movies, animation...
That`s the reason why im hiding this files from other people

--
If someone need it...
Just download file from http://www.vsf.pl/share/swap-maemo.zip
and do that...

Login to root from Xterminal using:
sudo gainroot

Run command in terminal:
mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/.images/Private
mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/.videos/Private

Copy Folder from zip to Device or upload files using WinSCP to your N900

Upload swap.png to folder:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon

Upload Swap.desktop to folder:
/usr/share/applications/hildon

That`s all, reboot your device
After that You will see Application called Swap with icon from ActiveSync
If someone want to rename shortcut, then edit Swap.desktop and rename line Name=Swap to your own

It`s so simple... Im not dev and this script was perfect for me

Thanks in advance for all answers

Well, i have made an app for this (you can edit your password, enable/disable the service, etc...)
It is working very well in scratchbox.
But on devices applications are prestarted by default...it becomes more tricky to detect when an app starts, is launched from a widget, a file etc...

So i use it on my own device, whe eri manually disabled prestart...
My app tried to edit desktop file but it needs root rights

So i think i can't release my app on extras, i've no solutions...

Here a view of the control panel plugin...
