The MOST TOUGHEST Lock Pattern
Actually I tried Ten times to draw it.
Tricky Patterns. Even U Can't find where is The Starting Point.
Create some Tricky Patterns»
For a Good pattern Start through middle or centermost circle.
Draw mostly Horizontal Vertical lines if your pattern is within 5-7 Circles(dots). If want more harder, then mix it with x-cross lines.
Either way You could make much secure and powerful patterns.
Do Hard Practice before deploying your patterns
Please DONT Post your Patterns here, else your security may get breached. But others can get benefit by locking there scre

great share mate I loved the first one.

The first one wouldn't be the safest to use, its actually not all that complicated. The other two are awesome though. I like the third especially

Interesting = )

Do a lot of people have the habit of leaving their phones out on tables? I always have my phone in my pocket.

Just going to make a quick call, pal.
Back in about an hour
Anyway, very interesting

Great patterns. The more complicated it is, The more secure it is

haha great! Thanks for sharing

Don't use if you get drunk a lot.
Odds are, every Sunday morning you'll wake up locked out of your own phone.

Difficult to remember these...
I 'm confused

Those patterns would last about 3 unlocks before you got fed up and removed them.
A simple task like unlocking your phone would become a 9-5 job lol

Actually the first one is very easy.
HINT? Here it is>
Just bounce ur finger from the first to next circle, Thats it. Simple.
Right now i use this one>

It depends on the brain and usage. Just scan(draw) a tough one and lock it in memory. Then change as u need after a good days/months. Fine.

5 minutes to do with success the first pattern ...
I think I will keep my old pattern

And I thought I was picky about security in using all 9 pegs. It's nice to know there are people even more paranoid than me out there haha.

How secure are android devices
How secure are android devices with PIN or pattern locks?
I use a pattern lock with four dotts but can someone break that without knowing my pattern or without trying (holding my device and trying) different patterns?

the first one is the best... that's secure as can be!!! great share... will try to make these patterns

[REQ] tweak to disable vibration on start up

search for sometime now, could not find any leads that may shed light to this
anyone out there? I'll try searching for it in the registry, if only i know where to start
First off, I don't know why you'd even ask for this. It's a tiny burst of vibration that happens only once when you power up the device, and that's it. There's no harm in it and I can't see a genuine reason for wanting it gone since it happens so rarley.
Secondly, you can't get rid of it. It's part of the self-diagnostic that runs when you switch on the device. If you did find a way to stop it (and I'm 99.9999999999999999999% sure you won't) then the phone would probably think there was a problem and not boot.
You're gonna have to live with it mate.

I was also looking for a solution to this problem.
You asked, why one should wish to deactivate this little vibration on startup...well, quite simple:
My HD2 performs its system backups every night, while it is in its cradle beside my bed. I am using SPB Backup which does a warm reset after finishing its operation. It's really not very funny to wake up every night, only because there is this "little" vibration during the boot up process.
If you are a user of a genuine HTC ROM, there is even an additional little melody playing after vibrating, which is still more uncomfortable! Only for this reason, I just reflashed my HTC ROM back to a Vodafone ROM (which only has the vibration).
I think, it would really be a good idea, If someone found a tweak to suppress the boot up vibration!

Words with friends

So I am addicted to the game "words with friends". The game is such a challenege and keeps my brain in top shape for spelling and I can't stop playing. Check it out if u like those types of games. Hit me up if you wanna pplay my screen name is crzy619. U can play up to 20 games at a time and there is no rush for you to take your turn. You can play when its convenient for you. Check it out on the android market and join me in my addiction ha
Sent from mi evo doing its damn thing using the XDA Premium App
the one issue i have with that game is that it doesnt notify you when it's your turn! ill play a word and ill wait for a friend to make their move, in the meantime ill get on with my day and i always forget to check every few minutes (i play a lot while at work and sometimes ill get busy and just forget). if they had a notification system that let you know when it was your turn, id LOVE this game
Yeha under settings it has background notification times but it doesnt work if u have an app like juice defender blocking communication. I just bought another battery so I can play this game all day. Addicted!

It still doesn't work, even if you aren't using any apps like juice defender, ect.
Yeah it just doesn't work. Point blank period.

"TAP" To unlock?

Is there an app or a hack that will allow just a "single tap" on the unlock screen to unlock it?
I am currently using NO lock screen (NOLOCK) which works fine but sometimes causes pocket dialing.
<oops, sorry, meant to post in [email protected], please move>
You can have the AOSP lockscreen unlock via menu key. Need a ROM with the AOSP lock.

That's a good start, thank you, but due to a physical handicap tapping a 4.5" screen on any spot is much easier than hitting that small spot.
Widget locker can be configured for one press unlock as well

Thanks ... "one press" of a button or one "touch" anywhere on the screen? I emailed the DEV but didn't get a response yet. Last update was many months ago so maybe he abandoned it?
Doubtful....it works flawlessly...i will try and get a screenshot for you. i use the press button unlock on my phones and love it.

I see, so you have to tap the LOCK ICON. That's getting closer to what I need but what I really need is to be able to TAP ANYWHERE on the lockscreen to unlock like my iPhone did. Due to severe rheumatoid arthritis in my hands the larger the target the easier it is to hit the spot which is why I like the larger 4.5" screen.
Sorry, nm...

Maybe I am misunderstanding you. That "LOCK" ICON between the sliders, is that what you use to unlock your screen? If so I can't figure out how to get that. I went through every menu and every ICON and see nothing like it. It's driving me crazy.
I still think your best bet is the no lock screen. Even if you have tap to unlock you'd be just as likely to have a pocket dial, if it's just one extra tap anywhere to unlock...

I agree with you it's so good but it uses all the pixels on amoled screens so it uses more battery.

Great app but it prevents deep sleep so as a result battery draining......
Thanks!!!

does not work. N920c screen turns itself after 3 seconds.
In some cases these sort apps needed. There are so many apps on PS like this. STAY ALIVE is best, it has some good options.
works great.
Work great ut my attery dead very quickly.
lost 3% in one houre
3% isn't too bad :/
Awesome. I would agree that the clock pixels need to shift to prevent burn in on the Amoled screens. The double tap to wake would be very useful. I am missing that and the back buttons a lot from my run with LG the past few years.
It's work but when you have phone call, it's not show you the caller screen until you push the power button for accept/deny the call.
Works okay on Note 5 but:
1) "Screen Off Memo"does not work
2) For some reason when I slide the phone into an i-Blason holster it turns (the always on app not the phone) on and stays on
-I have tried many thins to get it to stay off but it will stay on the whole time it is in the holster.
-If I just hold the holster up to the light sensor is turns off but as soon as I slide it in it turns on and stays on
-I made sure that the phone is not pushing any buttons and I even slid a piece of paper between the sensor and the holster and it turns off
as soon as I remove the paper it turns back on, but there is no way light is getting in
Really, weird.

Edit- well the battery drain with this app is also around 3% per hour which is too much....
basically, after extensive testing, this app drains batttery and isnt what everyone hoped for. .. a big unfortunately i must say, as the app is quite nice indeed.

Agree, the irony is you can literally see your battery percentage going down. , otherwise an awesome app. Dev needs to concentrate on saving battery instead of making new themes/ fonts etc.
