    If you are looking to lock down applications, such as sms, pictures, file mgr etc, I would recommend Advance Phone Lock over Advance Device Lock

    Hope this helps

    or....lock the whole phone by pressing the power button once at standby and go to 'lock phone'. A lot of people don't notice this function and it might just be the basic thing you might need.

    Sorry, this might sound silly.

    But I'm looking to maybe put a lock on my messages, pictures.

    Could anyone give me a step by step?

    I am not sure about free. Try doing the search. But I do know that if you want to hide your pictures, just move them to my videos.

    Hope this helps

    For the APL, you can't go wrong for $10 USD. I think it worth every penny

    yes you can, with the phone locked type 911 and you'll notice the numbers appear after pressing all three. Then just hit call (don't test that portion out)
