First
Lets come to Pictures /Video /Audio
Examples
there are some pics and videos you don’t want anyone to see, what will you do
cos these pictures or videos will definitely come on Gallery, so once you install this application, your first step is
to go to gallery itself.
The Pictures and Videos style are same, so just showing the picture session because if you know how to hide picture, you will definitely learn how to hide Videos.
(To hide a Single Pic)
Go to Gallery. 
Search for the picture ( example in picture I did for the picture of spiderman)
Select and hold the picture until share appears
Once the share appears ,select audio manager
Create the folder and Done dats it .
(To hide a folder which has many pictures and videos)
Search For the Folder In gallery (example Spiderman folder)
Select and hold the folder until share appears
Once share appears select Audio manager
Create the folder and Done, that's it.
By this way the whole folder is hidden, and to access this folder, Go to Audio Manager, Hold its Logo, Enter the password and select videos or pictures.
(To unhide a single or folder of picture and videos)
Click Execute and select the path in which you want save the pictures and videos
Click Unhide. Now run Media scanner by pressing option key and Media scanner
The file should be now be available in Gallery.
To hide an audio file, you need to access the
audio file from your file manager as there is no share option in Music player.
Just go to the audio file directory, select and hold the file until the
options appear and select share then audio manager.
Hide application feature requires phone to be rooted. Once the phone is rooted you would be able to see list of applications on your phone and once u select the application you want to hide you can only access it through audio manager.
Lock application doesn't need the device to be rooted, it just locks the application and the user has to enter audio manager password to access.
To lock an application, select the lock app from menu and then select the app you want to lock from My app list.
Once you select, these applications will be shown in other coulomn called lock app. To deselect the app, just select the app from Lock application list and the device will ask if the user wants to unlock the application.
To access a locked application, enter the app using your menu and you select it, audio manager launches an Crash report which will have two options:
In this feature you can talk to anyone by massaging secretly and the msgs will be stored here only, so if anyone checks your inbox, the person wont have a clue that you talk to him using audio manager.
To set up a contact, you can manually write the number or you can select from contact, and that’s it, any msgs from or to this number will be saved here.
(Note:- It still in early stages, so the makers of application suggest you to keep a backup of the document )
It has Four options
1. General settings
This is normally for the appearance of the audio manager disguise.
2. Slideshow Settings
You have pictures and you want a slide show, so this setting lets you change the slideshow duration, different animations and order of slideshow.
3. Login Settings
This is most important part of settings; you can change the lock screen from pin based to password based or vice versa. Change the password and escape pin (will be explained later) and also password recovery.
4. Advanced.
Low memory mode, where pictures shown will be high quality but the memory consumed may be more.
Vault editor to change the Appearance and vault location changer to change the location.
I am really impressed by this application and can confidently say it does hide and respect your privacy and I also recommend this to everyone who wants to hide their stuff under the hood. I rate it 5 out of 5.
Hide Apps/Lock Apps
Hide application feature requires phone to be rooted. Once the phone is rooted you would be able to see list of applications on your phone and once u select the application you want to hide you can only access it through audio manager.
Lock application doesn't need the device to be rooted, it just locks the application and the user has to enter audio manager password to access.
To lock an application, select the lock app from menu and then select the app you want to lock from My app list.
Once you select, these applications will be shown in other coulomn called lock app. To deselect the app, just select the app from Lock application list and the device will ask if the user wants to unlock the application.
To access a locked application, enter the app using your menu and you select it, audio manager launches an Crash report which will have two options:
- Report
- Force Close - Force Close will just close the application but to access the application, you select Report, where you can see a screen to enter password and after entering it select report.
File Manager
File Manager is just an inbuilt file manager to select and see the data, but unlike normal file manager, this manager can read audio manager data files.Browser (v browser)
This part of the application is no longer available with this app, it is now downloadable separately called V Browser.Messaging
To Run this part of the application you need to download a separate plugin.To set up a contact, you can manually write the number or you can select from contact, and that’s it, any msgs from or to this number will be saved here.
Encryption
Encryption enables you to hide any document. Example you have a secret document, you can select the document from Encryption option and you can encrypt it. But you cant read the document from this app, you need to decrypt it first and then read it.(Note:- It still in early stages, so the makers of application suggest you to keep a backup of the document )
Settings
It has Four options
1. General settings
This is normally for the appearance of the audio manager disguise.
2. Slideshow Settings
You have pictures and you want a slide show, so this setting lets you change the slideshow duration, different animations and order of slideshow.
3. Login Settings
This is most important part of settings; you can change the lock screen from pin based to password based or vice versa. Change the password and escape pin (will be explained later) and also password recovery.
4. Advanced.
Low memory mode, where pictures shown will be high quality but the memory consumed may be more.
Vault editor to change the Appearance and vault location changer to change the location.
Escape Pin.
In case you and your audio manager gets caught, you will have a fake apssword ready (set up from settings). When you enter the fake password in front of the people, audio manager shows the application is empty hence you will be saved again. But the real password will lead you to your real vault.
Password Recovery
While installing the application, you will be required to insert your email, this is because if you lost your password , audio manager sends an email to you about your password so that you can recover it.
Verdict
I am really impressed by this application and can confidently say it does hide and respect your privacy and I also recommend this to everyone who wants to hide their stuff under the hood. I rate it 5 out of 5.
