Default Looking for app to hide txt messages
I am looking for an app to hide my txt messages from my phone so people cant just pick up the phone and go through the messages. I know all about locking my phone with a password but its a pain to keep typing in a password everytime i want to access my phone in general. Any help would be greatful!

You can use patternlock and set what applications you want to lock.

iLock does a good job , only draw back is that when we get a new txt , clicking it from the notification area takes to that thread without having to unlocking msgs.

Could always add SMS/MMS to the main Messages app, hide SMS/MMS and Messages, and then access them by holding down the BB key to get to the app switcher where messages is permanently available. Advantage: only you know where the Messages are unless someone goes hunting; cons: someone might go hunting plus EVERYTHING is jumbled into one folder. Personally I use Ultimate Lock under the built-in password lock.
