[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] Advanced App Locker free

Ultimate App Guard protects installed applications and games from unauthorized access. Ultimate App Guard supports locking per applications basic with 8 different alternative locking methods: PIN, password, black screen, text screen, image screen, fake force close, and dial a number. One can pick a method as the default one, which can be used for most applications. She then can select other method for individual apps. The unlocking options are also very flexible: open one app can authorize for other apps too, validity period defines when the unlocking will become invalid.
Behind the traditional methods (i.e. PIN, password), black screen make the unauthorized users being surprised and dialing a number to open a secret application is also funny.
Setup Lock method
Ultimate App Guard supports four alternative methods to lock an application from un-authorized access:
Ultimate App Guard protects installed applications and games from unauthorized access. AAL differentiates from other apps by allowing one to select one among 8 alternative locking methods: force close dialog, black screen, text screen, image screen, PIN, password, pattern, and dial a number:
Other features:
☆ Select a default method, customize for each application.
☆ Flexible unlock by defining a validity period and unlocking option.
☆ Customize text screen and image screen with your own text/image (PRO)
Force close: Fake "force close" dialog when attempts to open the app, touch on the top, right corner N times to open.
Black screen: It is shown a black screen, as the phone is bricked, when attempts to open the app, touch on the top, right corner N times to open.
Text screen: It is shown a text screen with "VIRUS WARNING, Application #app_name# is infected by a virus", when attempts to open the app, touch on the top, right corner N times to open. You can customize this text
Image screen: It is shown an image screen with "STOP signal" or what ever when attempts to open the app, touch on the top, right corner N times to open. You can customize this text
PIN: type a PIN number to open the app. This is the default method.
Password: Type a password to open the app.
Pattern: Draw a pattern to unlock
Dial a number: Dial a number (ex. dial 123) to show locked apps. Click on an app to open it. It shows a black screen when attempts to open it. (PRO version only)
Unlock validity
Unlocking dialog is very annoying. You can select default behavior to make it more comfortable
Validity period: The unlock remain valid during the validity period, such as until screen off, app closed, or 5 minutes later.
Unlock one, remember for all: Once you unlock an app, it unlocks other app in the ‘validity period’
Locking apps
When AAL is opened, an application list will be shown.
Check/uncheck to lock an application with default method.
Touch on the application name to select an alternative method
You can disable or lock all applications by turn it on/off from setting screen. You change default settings from application’s setting screen.
Download
Google Market: Free (with Ad),
Video demo: Youtube
Troubleshooting
Why I can not see an application? You can use ‘Rescan apps’ from main screen option menu to re-scan the application list
What can I do if my entered PIN/password is lost? We will support password recovery feature in the next releases. Don’t worry.
The black screen is very ugly, I want a cooler one: We intent to build alternative screens (such as ‘ZOMBIE WARNING’), if you have a cool idea, please email us ([email protected]) then we try to support that.
Please send bug/enhancement request to [email protected]
UPDATES
- Add custom text screen (ex. a black background with green text telling that the app is virus infected...)
- Add custom image screen (ex. zombie warning...)
- Add fake force close method

As there are many apps that lock other apps, I'll give this one a try for comparison.

wont let me download as it is not compatible with my device
edit: Droid 2 (on GB 2.3.3)

It's weird. The developer console says that this app supports all Motorola devices

Interesting app, I have been using App Locker and ZDBox to double lock certain apps, but it was getting tiresome entering 2 pins every time. I like the multiple options for unlocking, and I really like the validity period. My only concern is that AAL slipped in under my permissions-blocking app's radar, and subsequently, I have no idea what its doing in the background... such as mining and transmitting my personal info?

Hi,
Thanks for your review. The current version blocks only foreground activities, i.e when an app appears to users and request user interaction. It does not intercept any background services/data transfer.... Further, we don't request Internet permissions, so that we can send out your personal data, of cause.

love the app but...
i have given the app a try. im on a desire laced with cyanogen 7. what i find annoying in the app is that whenever i unlock a locked application, advanced app locker opens not the app i am trying to access (e.g CONTACTS) but the app locker itself.
any work around for this?

I see the bug,
If you open it, change something and press HOME button (that the app goes in background, not "finish"), then when you unlock an app, this app will appear.
I will try to fix this soon.
Thanks for your report

I installed it, but I can't do to lock the apps. I selected the Handset and Messagin for test it, and when I opened there, lock pin didn't appear. :S

I intent to extend the "black screen" option, such as show an "ZOMBIE WARING" message or a very simple game as Tic tic toe instead of "black screen". Do you have any suggestion?

Hmm. Those are great ideas. I like using black screen because it would just make people think that the app crashed, or doesn't work.
Many people would be suspicious if they tried to snoop my gallery and are greeted with a game of tic tac toe
Great idea though! Maybe I'll try it if you implement it.

this looks good.. im gonna try in on my mytouch4g..... been using app protector pro for the longest just because i like the pattern unlock function but i guess i can get used to not having it!

Would it be possible to have a widget or shortcut I can have on my homescreen that toggles app lock on and off (with pin) ?
I only want apps locked when I give the phone to someone I don't know to play with, so having a quick way to toggle it would be great

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

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:

[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)

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?

ok I see, I noticed when leaving an app it locks it immediately, would be good if you could add time before app locks again, then we can set a custom value for example 30 seconds...

Great app, (and I'm not criticizing at all) but if the phone is locked via fingerprint anyway, why is this necessary? Purely curious

Now you can lock your mobile apps using your fingerprint.
• No Peaking in recent apps
• Fully optimized
• No battery Drain
Note :
• you must register your fingerprint in your device

Good work on this. A few things.
Somebody already mentioned the timeout after exiting an app.
What about the app icon on the screen where it asks for the fingerprint?

Great app, (and I'm not criticizing at all) but if the phone is locked via fingerprint anyway, why is this necessary? Purely curious

This is so you can choose specific apps to require your fingerprint to open. It's not necessary but is additional security some people can appreciate.
Let's say you let someone borrow your phone to make a call or look at a video. Then they get nosy and want to check out your text messages... Or maybe they want to be funny and open up Snapchat/Instagram and post something funny on your behalf. Having these apps locked will avoid all that.

Guys please check the update , its awesome

You can see the app contents in the recent apps menu and when you open an app, it will show the contents for a split second before the fingerprint scanner shows up. That screen also looks like something out of iOS, it doesn't look material and the arrows to go to the pin could lol better or say PIN so there's some sort of indication you can switch. Otherwise, it does as it says and works well. You should also add a option to disable based on WiFi network or location.

UI will improve with time , about wifi and location , if i add this feature this will use more battery and users complain about it .
