Hi i'm looking for 2 apps that could help me a lot and i'm wondering if theres any that exist

1) Announce who is the caller I use the earphones a lot when bike or running and it's annoying to watch my phone when it rings so kinda want a app that will tell me who is calling, either the Contact name or the phone number

2) App that will ask me a password before powering off the phone

Thanks

1) Aloud...I think it's the same dev as dashboard x. It's fantastic. Highly recommend it.

2) PowerGuard
 
PowerGuard is a bummer for me, so far.
Can't get past the password screen.

Sorry bout that. I shoulda mentioned I've never used it before. I just recently saw it in cydia. But the description sounded like it was exactly what you were looking for. Sorry bout that.
 
Ah, shoot! No problem.
I discovered and downloaded earlier in the afternoon, well before happening upon your post.

I'm sure the developer will fix the issue.
I still have it on my iPhone, just deactivated for now.

I like the concept and once it works will solve the problem of a thief simply powering down the iPhone.
(I'm aware a more sophisticated opportunist will find a workaround though.)
