[GUIDE]Setup a permanent beautiful Samsung-like replacement for ur default lockscreen - Android General

Hi everybody.
Today I present here a Samsung s3 like lockscreen replacement which will actually replace your default lockscreen and you'll never need to launch that app after a reboot to activate it (I know its too annoying :-\ )
HERE I WANT TO MENTION THAT I HAVEN'T CREATED THIS APP. I'M ONLY SHARING IT HERE
This, let me tell u, is the BEST lockscreen out there to get you rid of that default one. Also this doesn't consume your ram as go locker and others do so you won't sacrifice performance for beauty. What else could you want !!!!
Here's how to go about it :-
1. Download the apk file from the attachments.
2. Install the apk as a system app (IF U DONT KNOW HOW TO then first install it as user app and then use titanium backurp to convert it to a system app )
3. After the installation long touch on ur desktop.
4. Choose the following - Shortcuts>Activities>Touch the name "unlock screen">Choose the second activity.
5. Touch the icon that just appeared and first enable the lockscreen.
6. Now choose the Set sceen lock option and choose swipe.
7. Now u can change wallpapers and shortcuts to be shown on the lockscreen as u wish.
Although there aren't many features here but this lockscreen is permanent and will not affect performance at all.
Congrats !!!! You've just set up your phone's lockscreen to be completely like Samsung GS3.
Whenever you want to disable the lockscreen or uninstall the app all u need to for is disable the screen from the settings of the app and then uninstall.
If u have any queries, post them here and I'll answer u as soon as possible.
I have also attached some screenshots for u to see if you're unable to understand anything. Also if you like the app then post it here and rate the thread well. (I can't force you to thank me but if you liked the app then why not )
ENJOY THE BEAUTY.........
DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF THIS HELPED YOU

I've installed it as system app but when I long-press my desktop there is no "Activities" option under "shortcuts". :crying:
Edit: I've managed to get it working by downloading a shortcut creator app from the playstore. It's nice but I stick to my default lockscreen because of two things:
1. The app still shows under my running applications consuming around 2-6mb of RAM acceptable but;
2. It does not have notifications for unread sms and missed calls?
Thanks still.

Thanks for trying the app. The problem is that I didn't write the code so I can't really help that shortcut issue. Anyway I'm trying to find a workaround so maybe this'll be fixed soon.

Hi, I just tried giving a missed call to my phone and found that it does show a notification which is a semi-transparent round icon at the centre of the screen. Also u can add a shortcut to the call log app for direct access to missed calls and a message icon for messages.

Hi can you help me again? I uninstalled this app without deactivating it as device administrator, it went well except for a few expected forced closes which was easily resolved by rebooting my device. A few days after I wanted to give this app another shot, installed it as system app but when I try to create a shortcut I only have one activity to choose from that is "settings". It still activates as my locker but I wanted it to be a device administrator again. By not being a device admin my default locker shows up for while during boot-up until the app loads and takes over the lock. When it as installed as a device admin it was instant upon boot. Hope you can help solve my problem which is primarily why doesn't it show up among the device administrator choices anymore?

Hello. This app (being installed as a system app) doesnt need to be a system administrator. Also you can't install an app that has the status of system administrator without disabling it. Therefore I assume that you've missed something in the description. As or the problem of the other locker app taking over, the simplest solution would be to uninstall that app. Post again here if this didn't solve the issue.

Hello, thanks for the reply. After days of having this app as my default lockscreen, my "complaints" are probably not worth it (especially the device administrator thingy ^^). It's working flawlessly, default lock is not showing up anymore. So it stays as my default lockscreen. And by the way there is a missed SMS notification after all. Again thank you! :good:

Glad that I could be of help. Hope you have a nice experience with this locker. As for those "complaints", well they were just some doubts that anybody would've got

[REQ] Lock Screen App

The power button on my N1 has been giving me fits, and given the number of people I've read about with "dead" power buttons, I think mine is going out so I'm trying to preserve it as long as possible.
I enabled trackball wake (using CM6) which takes care of 1/2 the equation, but I need a good lockscreen app (just something to make the phone go to sleep). I found one in the market called Lock Screen Enabler, but it's not a "true" lockscreen app and it's very buggy, causing all sorts of problems for me.
I've been a web developer for 8 years and recently got into Android development (which I hope to be doing full-time soon), so I thought I'd just code a quick app for personal use in 5 minutes.
The problem, however, is that the DEVICE_POWER permission is needed in order to call goToSleep() and from what I've read so far from other online posts, this permission is only granted to native system applications.
Since my phone is rooted, I even tried granting my application SU privileges, but that doesnt seem to work either.
So, my question boils down to how do I grant my application DEVICE_POWER permission? I figure if anyone out there knows the answer, it's going to be someone on XDA as this place is full of geniuses. Thanks in advance!!
UPDATE: I've attached the finished app. Made this for personal use but if anyone wants to use it they are welcome to. My only gripe about it right now is the "screen flicker" that happens when you launch it because it's trying to launch an app that immediately locks the screen and finishes itself. If I can figure out how to get the app to launch in a smaller window maybe I can minimize the size to reduce the screen flicker. But for now, this works and I can set it to launch when I click the clock on Fancy Widget, so I'm happy. Thanks again to everyone who offered answers to my questions. Just another reason why I love the Android development community!!

Search for Lock screen widget. I have the same problem and I use it. It immediately locks your phone once pressed

Awesome, thx! Still would like to know how they got that prompt to show that basically made the application an Administrator app. Seems like the missing piece I need to complete my own

It seems that you'll need to add the application as a device administrator. There seems to be some decent information half way down this page under Device policy manager: Link.
I'd be interested in using this application as I can't change the icon of my previously mentioned widget.
Edit: More information here as well: Link.

I will probably still go ahead and create one. I like how with FancyWidget you can set it so clicking the clock will launch an app. Unfortunately it doesn't work with widgets, so I need an extra icon on my home screen just to lock it. If you have an icon you'd like me to use, feel free to share and I'll put it in
And thx for the info!!
I would be happy with any icon to be honest, I just don't like the lock screen widget one Good luck bud

Alright, I got it working, but there's one problem. It can't be uninstalled because it's currently a device admin. Same goes for that Lock Screen Widget I installed earlier.
Looking into a way to be able to uninstall, if one even exists....
You disabled: device administrator ?

Try using "root explorer" to find the files and just delete them.

You need to go to Security & Location - Device Administrators and disable both there.

Good call. Thx. However, I also came up with a work-around for ppl who are just as lazy as myself. There are 2 icons in the launcher. The first will lock the screen (once you enable the app as a device admin). The second will disable the app as a device admin, allowing you to uninstall at your will.
I really intended for this app to be for personal use, but if anyone wants it I'll put it up here for you to download. If you'd rather I remove the second launcher icon and just let you to disable it through Security settings, I will also do this (as really, I don't plan on uninstalling any time soon so this is fine for myself).
Thanks to everyone who helped out!!!

Application is in the OP. Have at it
Great, works perfect on MIUI 0.9.30
Does the job perfectly! I especially like how it runs as an app so I can change the icon
You're a lifesaver, or should I say power button saver
Thanks so much.
I tried to develop something similar before but got stuck. Saved me some time!
Thanks for creating such useful app for my N1. My power bt is fine, but I would like to preserve it to powering up/down the phone.
BTW, I also downloaded Lock Screen Widget to test it out. Is it possible that you can make your app to shut off the screen smoother, like LSW? I like it you set it up as an app, which is super useful for me set up as a gesture swipe on my LauncherPro dock icons.
Thanks again and keep up your good work!
Thanks again, your app is really great. But could you add a option to map it to the search button (long press) please?
Thank you!

[APP] AIR Command Shortcut - Launch Air Command with a Finger click

Hello Friends,
Just want to share with you another app - Air Command Shortcut: a shortcut app that invokes the Air Command menu. I initially showed this app a few weeks ago on this post video. This is initial BETA release.
Action Memo, Screen Write, S Finder and Pen Window can now be launched with just a finger click but Scrapbooker still needs the Spen to draw a target window. When spen is inserted while clicking Scrapbooker, a preset app will open instead and when spen is detached, clicking Scrapbooker will function as normal - meaning you need to use your spen to draw a target window to be saved by Scrapbooker. A toast message will let you know when you need to use spen or not.
Pen Window will launched with a preset window size but if you bought my other app - PEN WINDOW LAUNCHER, clicking Pen Window will launched that instead so you can use your preferred window size and position.
Download it below.
Thank you @xperiacle
Worked at my end.

many many thanks for all your APP.
Your a rock man
Awesome work bro..
wowww.. working great. keep it up.
I see someone created Air Command shortcut too (I posted mine yesterday ). Thats cool maybe you will have some better ideas how to make use of it. On topic, I noticed you have same issues that I had troubles with:
1) you change detach action (hint - restore it back).
2) you leave phone in 'Detached S Pen' state so if you open this app with finger (and you don't attach spen manually after that) it will trigger S Pen Keeper alert that you forgot to attach S Pen. (hint - I send attach intent to prevent it but maybe there is better solution).
Hope this helps.
So ..
How if you want to launch it with other apps ..
Like browser..
YouTube....etc.

It is an honour to have you here, Sir...you are indeed one of the great devs around. And THANKS for the tips.
Sorry, I know you posted first about the Air Command shortcut but I have been working on it for a few weeks now as you can see in my previous video link in the OP. I just never got to post the initial app because I am having some technical issues. I got most of the menu items working except scrapbooker which works partially for me due to system-level permission issues which I am still trying to fix without having to mod any system file and if possible without the need for root. Apart from that, it seems most are working. I will probably offer the user the option to change some of the menu items. So instead of Scrapbooker or S Finder, may be they would like to launch their favourite app instead. Again, thanks for all your work. Keep rocking.

What do you mean launch it with other apps? Do you mean change the menu items with like browser/youtube or launch the menu items at the same time launch other apps like browser/youtube in one click? If you mean both, yes it is possible but I am still trying to iron out some technical issues. The app in the OP doesn't include those options yet. It is just the basic shortcut app but the final release may or may not offer those options mentioned depending on how I would be able to fix some issues.
The thing is I am still exploring because I don't know what KitKat brings. It seems a lot has changed internally. I haven't tried it yet as I am waiting for my region's official release.
Anyway, I will update the one in the OP with some more features soon.

I just updated Air Command Shortcut app with some fixes. Action Memo, Screen Write, S Finder and Pen Window can now be opened with a Finger click. Scrapbooker still needs the spen but the app will launch a preset app when it detects that the spen is inserted.

Great work again together with your Pen Window Launcher even better and your announcment is promising. One suggestio (?) I don´t use the Browser, i use chrome but his is peronal tase. Is it technicaly possible to choose what shortcut i want?
Edit: And another question. Is it possible to link the Pen Window to the Pen Window Drawer of the Pen Window Launcher instead of Pen Window Lancher itself so the Pen Window Launcher Notification wont start?

Yes I used the default browser app as the preset app when Scrapbooker menu item is clicked (when spen status is inserted) but it definitely can be changed once I finished the settings UI. It is also possible to launch your favourite apps together with any of the other menu items in the air command.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will modify the app so it will launch pen window launcher with the pen drawer directly without notification. It's just a small change, I might be able to update it in a while.
And by the way, I already uploaded a new version of Pen Window Launcher in the Play Store. @and2 Could you test and let me know any feedback. Thanks.
Hey @xperiacle ,
First, Thank You for this app, Then I wanna ask if there is some good news about finger Scrabooking.
Thanks for the great App. Is it possible in the Pro Version so see the app icons instead of defaults in the drawer "My Air Command"?

I reformatted phone and installed phantom rom again. After restoring apps with titanium, I got the fc again, indicating that it was a problem related to a specific app. So I tried stopping some apps. Eventually, I found out that it was wanam xposed recent update that was causing the fc. The new features added were causing the problem. So, I disabled the new features on wanam xposed and now there is no fc problem. Thanks.
great app so far i have seen.
can we have this app on note n7000?

Not working for me.
When i open the app, this happens
But it works fine with the SPen as usual, when pulling it out or pushing the button.
EDIT-
Still not working after a clean rom flash and data wipe, thought i'd better make sure as i had removed many system apk's when i tried before. Any news on this?
Where can I get the donate version to access setting?

No support for android L? not locking any app
I help you
Hi!!!
This is an amazing app!!
1st: I want a promocode to get the full app
2nd: I want to help you to translate into Spanish (my native language) (obiously for free).
I will be waiting...
Thank you!!!
Great app.
1. I would suggest for Relock Policy to add the option: Lock when screen is off
2. a transparent theme would be nice showing once own wallpaper behind the lock screen
3. Third eye takes pictures but does not send them to the email address
4. Android System is locked. i.e. I try to open a YouTube link but have no default app, so first I have to unlock Android System in order to choose an app to open the link. Can't find a way to switch that off, it's a bit annoying
5. Could you add a dark theme for the app
6. Also I would use color to show that an app is selected to be locked. I have showed your app to several people and most agreed it's not always clear whether the lock is inactive (grey) or active (black).
PS still waiting for Promo Code

Hi, thanks for liking my app. After enabling the advanced protection, the app is virtually impossible to get through. Although a user has reported a bug which needs to be fixed to increase the security (which is in progress), i feel it is safe to say that AppLockZilla is quite strong on security.

Hi. I will go straight to the point. This app needs a lot of work. I don't mean any bad publicity or any mean comment or anything like that. But from what I have seen in my experience with my phone, it is easy to go around the app and get to the locked app. I have "long press back to kill" enabled in my developer options. When I launch a presumed locked app, I just have to long press my back button and it kills the lock of your AppLockZilla and the locked app launches like there was nothing to lock at all.
My previous app lock didn't have this security breach so I quickly went back to it.
You have to fix it very quickly enough because now that some people know it, things can happen. Sorry.
Brilliant. One question, is there a way to disable to lock on "Android System"? Every time I need to select an app to complete an action I have to input my code

Yeah you're right. This is annoying sometimes and even more when you have a long password like me....?
Than kyou for pointing out the bug, you dont need to apologize. How will i improve the app if you dont find issues with it ?
It would be helpful though if you could tell me what app locker you have been using so that i could test it and do the same with AppLockZilla. Thanks!

Another problem I have found, is that the it keeps the phone awake alot. BetterBatteryStats shows it has caused 98% of the wakeup alarms. So had to uninstall for now because that was using alot of battery. Its a shame because I really like the app, will use again when its fixed
Trully inovative features! I'm gonna take this for a spin! Thanks!

It would be helpful though if you could tell me what app locker you have been using so that i could test it and do the same with AppLockZilla. Thanks!

Alright. Cool! It is a good app BTW. I really liked the knock code like feature that it has l like the LG G3 (Tap lock). It was this feature I was using when I found the bug.
The app lock app I'm using right now is called Droid Protector by @1tek. It is really simplistic, but when I tried your app I liked it and its features until I found the bug. So I went back to the previous one.
Hope I helped!

Thanks, waiting for the promo code to test also the pro stuff.
I am surprised to hear that! i will look into it immediately. Iplan to assess every single issue that my app has and update it regularly. So stay tuned for the issue fix and thanks for informing about it.

Another problem I have found, is that the it keeps the phone awake alot. BetterBatteryStats shows it has caused 98% of the wakeup alarms. So had to uninstall for now because that was using alot of battery. Its a shame because I really like the app, will use again when its fixed

I really like the media vault, two things to that.
1st is it possible to have/make "folders" or "categories" in the vault? So that I can sort them?
2nd I was not sure at first how to select a picture or video, even though (after reading the FAQ - which is great that's included in the app) it's obvious that long pressing would work. I was looking for little check fields in the pics and vids. Long pressing is better, maybe you can make a pop-up or write it on the background of the vault. "Long press file/picture/video to select"
I also think that a file vault would be a great idea.

[APP][4.3+][C Notice]Floating Notification

Allow me to introduce my app here:
<<I created my apps mainly based on "C"onvenience and "C"ustomization. that's what my app's name "C" stands for>>
C Notice:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccs.notice&ah=dTx4mbmLYrMc6lw9MjuDlXRLp7A
Receive floating notifications from selected applications and keep track of everything that is important to you, all without needing to access your phone's status bar and directly from the lock screen. Experience a very clean & simple floating window design with a unique colored header display. Upon receiving a new notification C Notice displays a visual reminder of the individual application in the form of a floating icon. All notification icons float on top of any other application and can therefore be accessed and interacted with at any time you want, until dismissed. Make additional use of swipe gestures on icons to trigger quick actions (open, expand, dismiss,...) and interact with notifications of all kind with ease.

really nice app !
But would be nice to have the option : not showing notification over lock screen.....
Hey OP I just got done buying the pro key and leaving you 5* on Play Store...came over here to tell you that I am seriously in love with your app.
It really used to be such a pain in the ass accessing the status bar/notification panel on my OnePlus One, my fingers are not long enough to just swipe it without having to move my whole hand, and your app has solved this problem. Besides that, the ability to see my notifications floating windows without having to open the entire app saves so much time. This is definitely one of my favorite apps so thanks again, and anyone who sees this but has not installed the app yet, go check it out, it's great!!!
(BTW I'm on Mahdi ROM 4.4.4, stock kernel, tons of Xposed modules and scripts running and haven't experienced any compatibility issues w/ this app)

C Notice is not available for all devices... I have an MTK 6589 cheapest device.... If is it possible to make it for us then please do it.... This apps looks very interesting and wishing to try it on my phone very eagerly........ By the way U guys are doing very well and I appreciate the hard work done by U....
Good App mate.
Nees to test mot. Will post review after some workaround the app
I'm recieving double pop-ups when using Whatsapp. Can it be lollipop maybe?
Love the app, been looking for something with the bubble part of the Halo functions
Been working with it last two weeks or so, found a bug, or what I think is a bug - play store notifications gets auto cleared.
Great app!
Great app, thx a lot! But, is it ok for this app to consume almost 200 Mb of RAM?
Hello. How can i uninstall this app?
In settings i cant tap to uninstall, it has grey color. Thanks

I love this app, I missed halo but liked having MW and PW that stock based Samsung ROMs give and this gives me a halo feel. Could it be possible to have a feature that if you do have Pen Window, when you click the notification the app would open in a pen window? Even if you made it a premium feature I'd pay for that.
I've been using C Notice and C Locker for a few days. Both have great potential, both well worth to buy the premium version.
Focusing on C Notice, it can be a very viable replacement for Floatification. As I've read and experienced, the dev for Floatification is not all that responsive and it's been buggy. Searching for a more capable replacement is what led me to C Notice.
A few requests:
1) Allow the notice/popup to directly delete (for example, Gmail) messages, and directly reply on those apps that have those functions in the notification bar.
2) Have a separate setting for timeout for lockscreen and unlocked. This is how I want to use it: Lockscreen--the display DOES NOT turn on automatically, but when I turn on the screen, I want to see the notifications. After a period, I want the notification to timeout and go away--this is so that the screen will automatically turn off. As you know, if C Notice stays on the lock screen, the display won't turn off. This is useful if I bumped my phone and the screen turned on. This way, it will turn off automatically after a few seconds.
While I am using the phone--I want C Notice to appear and not timeout until I act on it. When I am in the application that initiated the notification, though, I do not want C Notice to pop up (very simlar to a function available in Floatification).
If the above two are implemented, C Notice can completely replace Floatification.
3) For future consideration--to allow seperate Gmail and Hangouts notification--allow the selection of specific Gmail accounts and lables and specific Hangouts accounts for notification.
I'd gladly pay several times the current premium price....
Thanks for your work.
I had C Notice on my Samsung 3 and, so I thought, it would ring back at set times for reminders that I had not dismissed. Now, in my Note 5 I cannot find the option. Have I lost my mind?
How do I Uninstall c notice
Can You make the same style of round notification i cnotice as in the clocker? Now on cloker I can watch a preview of sms email etc. and have the contact photo on notify icon. On cnotice I have the number of unread notifications but not on cloker.
Please make same options in both of Your apps.
Is it possible to enable/disable this app from for example Tasker?
Regards Peter
Could you add quick reply feature like in Floatify?

[APK] [6.0+] Pixel's Fingerprint Swipe Gesture

Hey guys,
This is a replication of the thread I've originally posted in the Nexus 6P Themes & Apps Forum. I've successfully built something similar to Google Pixel's Fingerprint Notification Gesture. Just install the APK, grant it root access and you're good to go.
NOTES:
There's a similar app made by another developer, and this is in no way affiliated to it. End product is the same though it's accomplished in different ways. Read further to know the differences.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Nexus 5X rooted with SuperSu
2. Android 6.0+ (should work with lower APIs too - haven't tested)
BUGS:
It takes a while to start listening for fingerprints after a complete boot and after you unlock your phone. In the former case, it takes longer for the service to start.
DESCRIPTION:
We all have heard about the Google's new Pixel's fingerprint swipes to accomplish tasks. For the ones who aren't aware, the Pixel lets you swipe down it's fingerprint sensor to simulate a swipe down on your notification bar / status bar to pull it down and a swipe up, to pull it up. This app accomplishes something similar.
A single short tap on the sensor pulls down the notification / status bar and a long press on the sensor pulls it back up, irrespective of whether the finger in subject is registered for authentication or not.
DISCLAIMER:
Make sure you always take a backup before testing. Thumb rule. I'm not responsible if you screw up your handset!
DOWNLOADS:
Fetch it from below.
Cheers and let me know.
Great work man, appreciate it!
I can install the .apk but the app itself won't open. I've cleared cache and data and I just uninstalled it and reinstalled multiple times. Nothing.

The app doesn't actually open it runs in the background after u allow root privileges..it's kinda a silent app. Working well though.

Ok. Apk installed, app is running. But i have no idea how to grant supersu (root) privileges. App itself didnt asked SuperSu, so SuperSu didnt showed up the prompt window to grant the access. Any sugestions?

Okay, tried this and it worked. So.. Go to apps, delete data from Pixel Swipe app. Force close app. Scan your finger and setup the fingerprint sensor screen unlock. Reboot the phone and open the app again. Guess it wants the scanned finger before opening.
tnx man no problem with that , good job
So there's no settings for this app? It takes this much trouble just to get it running as well? I'll stick with the original app.....
Worked within five minutes, just had to have finger scanned in the phone. Works great. Thanks mate.
would be nice if i can swipe to remove notifications panel too, not long press! anyways, thank you. very useful app.
Why opening of notification panel so slow? NOVA launcher have the same problem with Android 6, but they solve this problem with root, can you do same thing for your app? With so slow opening - app is useless
Nice app. Not filled with bloated stuff like similar apps. Just what I searched. ?
are you the devloper of the app?
is there any way to make it so that the fingerprint scanner act as a scroll wheel?
Anyway to implement directions and tap to select double tap to go back??
Can't even open file.
Thanks mahn! :good:
Appreciate it!
But is there any way that the notification panel would go back up when swiped up?
