Jailbreak App - Lockdown Allows you to Password Protect your iPhone Apps
Its amazing that even after a year and half of iPhone's launch, it still draws attention, I have friends who want to check out my iPhone 3G. I have no problems with that, but the concern I usually have is that I don't want them to access some of the...

Damn it! Why can't we have this stuff without the jailbreaking!!!
-
Ive had this forever....late post?
-
Hey Tony,
As I mentioned in the post just stumbled upon this app.
So yes late. But guess as they say better late than never.

It's ok but you can't lock pictures. You can still access them through Settings --> Wallpaper
-
theres a better one on cydia called mAdvLock
-
I want to address a 'security flaw' with this app. If you have the quickgold app installed, you will be able to bypass the locked applications via pressing the home key to activate it. i tried to lock the quickgold app itself, but I didn't see an option to do so.

Hey se23,
Thanks for letting us know about the app we will check it out.
-
Hey kDub,
Nice catch, lets hope the bug gets fixed.
-
no probs, i like it cos its clean and works very well and as soon as u type ur pw it launches the app
-
i have set the safety word and went to set master password and the app kicked me out, i went back in and it keeps asking me for a password that i have not set, i hit forgot password and it comes up as (null). i only have numbers come up and cant get passed this bit. i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and its still the same.. any help would be greatfull.
thanks
-
thsts y i use myadvlock :)
-
where do i get that from ?
-
found it, thanks for your help :-)
-
mAdvLock - as soon as u type password it launches the app? It doesnt work on mine, you have to hit ok. Also it doesnt give you the numbers right away, you have to hit .?123. So I like better lockdown.

Hey se23,
It didn't work for me either.
I would agree with smash, other than the issue where one needs to remember to unlock all apps before upgrading the app, I prefer Lockdown as well.

hi im having a problem with this app. i cant access the apps i locked and its asking me for the password and my passwords has letters in it and i cant press the letters. what do i do?
-
Also a securty problem with the new sb settings. Any app you put in the dock will bypass lockdown. And sb settings cannot be locked even though the option is availble!! Can someone figure out how to cut out the dock feature?? Seems pointless anyway. Thanks to anyone who can help
-
i have the same problem i lost the password and i cant use it anymore
-
i think this app is the best app ever i think u should but in the apple app store soo everyone can take edvantage of it even those who didnt jailbreak there iphone’s
-
HELP! Can't access the applications i locked. Been asking me for the password and my password has letters in it but i can only press numbers, no letters. What to do?
-
Does this application allow you to lock videos? I've been looking for a application to password protect videos on my iPhone any ideas?
-
Does LOCKDOWN install on iphone 2g 2.2.1???
-
I really wanted to use this to password protect my messages but any time I get a message a dialog pops up with the choice "View." When you push it, it goes straight into the message application where u can then move around without a password.
The only way to prevent this as I can see is to turn off notifications all together which I don't want to do because I want to know when I get a message >.<
Be nice to fix this as well
-
Also, to by pass SMS passcode, if contacts or phone isn't locked, you can go through the contact and select send text, no code needed :-(
-
Notes, Calendar,Contacts can be accessed through search function bypassing this software!! :(((
-
Does anyone know how to remove this from your iphone without having to do a restore?
-
I locked my contacts with this app when I click on the contact button it asks me for the password but when I click on the phone button to make a phone call there I can click on the contacts and it shows all the contacts without asking for any password. Not only that I also downloaded some voip apps (like icall) and when I go into contacts through that app it shows all the contacts wide open. Any way for me to lock it all????
-
Just go to "manage" in cydia and uninstall.
-
is there any way of unlocking it if you have forggoten your password and safety word
-
I think I deleted the app via cydia, sync's mob, then apps are unlocked, then reinstall lockdown and startEd again
