Hi,
My phone should be secured with a lock screen (with PIN code), but I would like it if I can unlock certain apps (like camera or games I play) without having to enter the same PIN. To clarify: I should have a lock screen where if I press the camera icon it immediately goes to my camera app (without asking for a PIN), while if I use any other way of unlocking it should ask me for my code.
Googled a lot, but can't find such a lockscreen replacement and my S3 doesn't have such a function. If you do not know of such an application, is there a mod wich has this functionality?
Any help would be deeply appreciated!
Posted this in the LG section but have since rid of that phone for the S6.
I'm hoping to find a way to disable the lock screen when i'm at home or another trusted area, without the need for unnecessary GPS/Location usage as with what the 'smart lock' option demands. Also, without having to root the device.
On my S4 widgetsoid did this brilliantly right from the notification panel and it would coincide with the device locking features that were set.
For instance. Whenever i was home I'd disable by tapping the padlock icon. Then if i went out I'd just tap it again to enable it. If I forgot to enable it, the set time limit for the locking options would take control and eventually automatically lock the device on it's own.
Is there anything available like this? Widgetsoid needs system access for this feature to work now.
I think this is the right place to post, since it's a security thing, although it's nothing to do with hacking.
When I was on JellyBean (turns head and spits) and SlimKat I used Secure Settings and Tasker to switch the pattern lock on and off depending on my situation (I mean, I had Tasker and SS change all my sound, screen and radios settings at the tap of a scene button). Now that I'm on Lollipop I can't use SS. Is there a way to easily toggle a pattern or PIN lockscreen on and off? The stock lockscreen and 3rd party apps require the pattern or PIN to be reinserted TWICE to enable them. I want an app that remembers it and doesn't require it to be re-entered to enable/disable.

I've found something I can work with. Using shell commands I can emulate touches to activate/deactivate this:

Can you explain how to set up fingerprint unlock option?
If I set my default lockscreen to none I cannot use the fingerprint option. and when I add the finger print my nexus 6p default lockscreen show over your app.

that's weird, in samsung devices, you can set default lockscreen to 'none' and keep fingerprint active.
I had it working on my s7 edge with your original clocker app. I'm not sure about the light version I will try it on my s7 edge later today. The nexus however will not because it will auto delete the prints whenever the screen is set to none.
I really love this lite version, but why do I have to write my pin when I click the widget music? Is there a way that i can play the music without unlock it? Oh and is it possible to add more info on the notifications? What I mean is when I tick no show content can show like '4 messages in 3 chats' like in stock lockscreen. Hope you can read my suggestion, great job :good:
the widget click works together with the PIN you set, i will consider making it an option to set without PIN when clicking widget.

I used the c locker free but it was very slow on start up of my device.
It took more then half a minute to lock the screen.
I switched to the lite version hoping this would faster and it seems to be.
But when I start up my device it doesn't lock and i get a toast saying "auto unlock as system lock is enabled".
In settings my lockscreen option is set to none.
I'm on an Asus Zenfone 2 laser (Z00ED) with stock firmware.

Done. Thank you for the help.
FYI: I Had an other issue.
I just updated my phone and let google restore all my apps, including C Locker Lite. After that i did a reboot, but i forgot to turn off the android lockscreen. When the phone started I saw the C Locker loading screen and then a blank / black screen. without any way to unlock. I could pull down the quick toggles, but nothing else. I waited for about 5 minutes, but still nothing.
Also i didn't wipe my SD, but did wipe data and system.
I restarted again, but the same thing happened.
I went into TWRP and deleted the app from data/app/ with the file manager and restarted. everything worked again.
It's not a problem for me anymore, but it might be for people doing a factory reset without any custom recovery.
good app!
Hi,
i'm on OOS 5.1.6 with unlocked bootlader, official TWRP, and root via Magisk, also got xposed and a few modules (greenify being one of them).
Now the noob silly part: how comes that even if i set fingerprint security for lockscreen (with PIN security behind), if i turn off the screen via power button, and then wake it up (after more than 5secs!) with button again, i am presented with a lockscreen with no security and i can simply swipe up the lock icon and enter the phone?
I'm for sure missing something really obvious here, OR one of my modules (GB, Greenify) might interfere with the security?
Just to be clear: fingerprint unlocking WORKS flawlessly, but if i use the button it just shows the small lock icon that i can simply swipe-up.
Thanks!
Maybe you have enabled face unlock?
Do you have smart lock on? Trusted place or similar, smart watch etc. If one of those are on, it will let you unlock just with a swipe.
And the default time for this lock is 5 sec, see the settings icon right of display lock in settings - security
Thanks guys, i had for some reason Smart Lock enabled, and specifically trusted places (Home) taken from Google Maps. I could not disable it (well i could, but it reverted back as active) until i found under 'Trust Agents' Smart Lock (Google) and disabled it.
Weird.
