Lock screen apps offer an easy way to personalize your Android phone or tablet.
1. Echo Notification Lockscreen
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doublelabs.androscreen.echo&hl=en
If you're looking for a lightweight app that provides all the essentials right from the get-go, then Echo Notification Lockscreen will likely float your boat. The app displays messages, missed calls and other types of notifications straight from the lock screen, which you can then open by tapping, or dismiss by swiping to the left. Two cool things about the app: you get a camera shortcut to snap some quick photos and it won’t suck your battery dry either. And Echo Notification is also free!
Echo Notification Lockscreen provides you with messages and missed calls on your lock screen.
2. Cover - the smart lock screen
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coverscreen.cover&hl=en
Cover brings context-based information to the lock screen, meaning the right content and settings at the right time. This is reminiscent of Google Now and for the most part works quite similarly. By entering your home address and workplace, the lock screen will know when to switch between private and work mode. Depending on the situation, it shows matching apps as shortcuts. This works because the launcher is capable of learning and adapts to particular usage patterns. In addition to being able to automatically switch between settings and shortcuts, Cover also offers simplified access to recently used apps by swiping downwards from the top screen border.
Cover is in open beta phase and can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store. We already tested the lock screen two months ago and found that even then it made a very good and well-made impression.
Cover offers context-based apps on your Android lock screen to match your habits.
3. Ubuntu Lockscreen
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rotaryheart.ubuntu.lock.screen&hl=en
There had been talks about a mobile operating system from Ubuntu called Ubuntu Touch, but it never really caught on. If you still want at least a tiny hint of Ubuntu on your smartphone, you can install the Ubuntu Lockscreen. It has a ring menu that will display notifications, and by swiping from top to bottom, you’ll see date, time and battery status.
Swiping from right to left presents shortcuts to apps which can be set up by the user individually beforehand. On request, a music player can be displayed on the lock screen, since the security options are currently only a password or PIN. So, even when swiping from left to right, the display will remain unlocked. The Ubuntu Lockscreen can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and is free.

4. UnlockYourBrain - vocabulary and math training
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.unlockyourbrain&hl=en
On average, we’ll look at our smartphones about 80 times a day. Wouldn’t it make sense to combine these almost subconscious compulsions with something meaningful? UnlockYourBrain is a lockscreen alternative made to keep your brain fit by having you solve math problems and do some vocabulary training.
The vocabulary or math exercises loaded onto the lock screen can naturally be skipped in case you get stumped. The potential found in this lock screen is great though. Repetition is the mother of retention and by constantly viewing vocabulary and calculation methods, this will slowly but surely start to sink in, keeping your brain from turning into mush.
UnlockYourBrain is free and ad-supported, available in the Google Play Store. The premium version can be bought as in-app purchases in various packages.
UnlockYourBrain makes you smarter all while unlocking your phone.
5. DashClock widget
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock&hl=en
The easiest and most popular way to set up a lock screen is with the use of widgets. One of the most popular in this genre is DashClock Widget because it not only supports extensions but is also be extensively customizable. The widget, which is displayed next to the clock, can be a calendar, appointments, unread messages or when using supported apps, the weather for example.
DashClock Widget can be downloaded for free in the Google Play Store. Setting up and searching for matching extensions can be fun but could also take some time to complete thanks to a huge array of extensions to choose from. You can take a look at an overview in the Play Store by simply searching for the term "DashClock".

Marketing (scroll down for public beta test and dev info):
Do you get angry when your screen rotates the way you don't want? Do you always have urge to shake your phone to fix the screen orientation? Now you can shake your phone and it will rotate the screen to the correct position with Shake Freeze - a simple screen orientation control & lock app for your phone.
Beta video
How it works
- Turn on the service
- Shake the phone up and down in portrait or landscape mode to lock screen in that position
- Shake the phone towards and away from you to swich between tilt (default auto-rotate) and shake controls
- Use the main app to control display orientation manually
Features
- Shake to rotate screen
- Turn Auto-rotate On/Off in app (switch between tilt and shake controls)
- Customizable sensitivity
- Persistent background service accessible from notification toolbar
- Start on boot, start shaking immediately
- Source code available, no hidden secrets
Missing features
- Force lock. Shake Freeze works ONLY in apps that do not have their preferred orientation (typically text apps like browsers etc)
- Current version doesn't change orientation on tablets (probably with most tablets, only the lock works)
Permission breakdown
- Modify system settings - orientation and auto-rotate are system settings
- Run at startup - optional, the shake detector service can start on boot. Default is OFF!
Free App - Attentionware
The app is completely free with no ads. Source code is available. The only thing I ask is your attention. If you like the app, please rate it, check my Android website, +1 on G+, like my page on Facebook and/or follow my Twitter.

Dev info
Yet another auto-rotate app with a twist (and shake). Made as an excercise, it's my first app for Android that uses more than just display and touchscreen. I've seen better rotation lock apps (but they are paid) and better rotate to do something apps (but they don't have rotation lock). I am releasing the source codes in case you want to check out what the app does on boot etc. I would be extremely grateful if you can comment on the sources too, I am an Android beginner and I definitely have space to improve!

Hello
I tried your beta version and here are the first couple of results:
App description:
I went into the app without watching the video and checking the pics to see if it is intuitive, It took me around 5 minutes to understand. So fair enough. The video is far way more important than the picture itself, because it really shows the purpose of the app comparing it to the the normal behavior. As for the picture I first didn't get it 100% percent but after watching the video and playing with the app it makes sense. But for the little beginners I think there is something missing in it.
UI:
Well there isn't a lot of buttons and setting which is quite good I think less is more in UI/UX which is good in your design. There is only the number of shakes slider, If the settings underneath is an actual int number, maybe display it on the slider instead of waiting for the user to select it and then display it in the main scene, because he will have to click OK to see what he has actually selected 8-9-10ish
Functional Tests
I tried on my stock Gnex running 4.3 (without the latest update from google 2 weeks ago), The app ran smoothly and the sensitivity is good and set to the default middle settings.
I tired also setting the service to start on start-up, set it to landscape, and then restart my phone. Everything went well it even remembered the last setting which was landscape and the service running appeared in the notification.
All in all it is a excellent development and a very good exercise as I have seen on your blog.
As for me I would say that its main usage will be while watching youtube.
Hope it helps
Thanks !
Hi there,
I'm trying of the beta on my Nexus S. Everything works and the sensitivity adjustment gives a good range.
One suggestion I have is to separate the toggle for tilt and shake. If I want to use the shake functions with high sensitivity but not the tilt it is difficult to do so (without having to shake a bunch of times). This way, it is a little bit more versatile in how the user wants to use your app =]
Other than that I think the Ui should be sufficient. The help screen could be separated into a few chunks so user isn't overwhelmed by the amount of text, although the app is relatively intuitive to use.
Nice app!
Hi,
It's a Nice App :good: It's very intuitive and is very easy use it.
Work well in my Cubot One and Iocean X7
If you already use Tasker & Rotation Locker, you can save some memory by using Tasker and the Rotation Locker app plug-in to rotate once shake is detected.
Isn't it awesome how customizable Android is compared to anything else out there? Many elements of the platform can be tweaked, ranging from under-the-hood performance adjustments to visual and user interface modifications. This post is all about the latter, bringing you 10 apps that will replace the stock lock screen on your Android smartphone. Why would anyone want to do that? Well, keep in mind that not all Android smarthphones are made equal. Many come with a lock screen provided by the manufacturer, and while some custom lock screens work fine, others aren't all that great. But these third-party lock screen replacement are among the best ones available in the Play Store. Chances are that if you aren't happy with the lock screen on your Android smartphone, a better alternative will be listed below.
1. Active Lockscreen
Active Lockscreen provides quick, single-swipe access to essential apps, such as the dialer, the camera, and the email client. There are shortcuts to your recently contacted numbers and recently used applications as well. The app offers multiple themes to choose from.

2. Go Locker
From the same fine folks who brought us Go Launcher comes Go Locker – a lock screen replacement with shortcuts to the call log, the messaging app, and media player quick controls. Current weather conditions can be displayed as well. Security protection with pin or pattern is supported. Additional themes for Go Locker are available from the Play Store.
Download:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jiubang.goscreenlock
3. MagicLocker
We bring you one of the most downloaded lock screen replacement app on Google Play, with support for themes, shortcuts, image customization, and what not. Your security pattern should also work even with MagicLocker enabled.
Download:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker
4. Holo Locker
Holo Locker is a lock screen replacement with a minimalist, stock-ish look and feel. But at the same time, it does have several adjustments that you can tweak. For example, the status bar can be hidden or disabled while the text color can be changed. The paid version of the app has a counter for your unread emails and text messages and would let you change the background image as well.
Download:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker
5. MXLock
And here's one more lock screen replacement app offering a wide variety of cute and colorful themes to select from. Naturally, it lets you activate the phone, SMS, and Camera apps without unlocking your device.
Download:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neomtel.mxlock
6. WidgetLocker Lockscreen
Can you guess what WidgetLocker Lockscreen offers to stand out? Yup, lock screen widgets. Actually, this Android app supported that before it was even cool. Shortcuts to apps of the user's choice can also be placed there for convenience.
Download:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
7. Windows 8 Lock Screen
As the name implies, this app is meant to mimic the lock screen found on Windows-based smartphones. It displays the current date and time, along with counters for unread texts and missed calls. The background may be made transparent, in case the user wants to.
8. C Locker
Access your apps quickly with this versatile lock screen. It is functional, good-looking, and its paid version has a number of handy features, such as RSS feed support, listing of Calendar events, reminders and more. The volume rocker can be set to skip or rewind songs playing in the music player instead of just adjusting the volume.
Download:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccs.lockscreen
9. Sparky
What's cool about Sparky is that it offers a good selection of beautifully drawn lock screens, with shortcuts to frequently used apps and counters for missed events. But although the app will make your lock screen much prettier, it will not work with your pattern lock.
Download:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sparkymobile.sparkylockscreenlite
10. Joy Locker
Last but not least, here's a lock screen replacement solution by the Global Animation team. The best thing about it is that there are many themes available from its library , designed by talented artists. The amazing thing is that you can play many funny games to find out the how to unlock your mobile screen.

Hello everyone. Swipes is my new app that replaces my old app Kakudo. I felt I should create a new thread because the app is 100% completely build from scratch and many of the features have been changed. As a thank you to everyone who supported Kakudo, if you had previously bought Kakudo Pro you get the entire complete unlock of Swipes for free. All you need to do is have Kakudo Pro installed on your device and Swipes will unlock for you.
Anyways here's what it does:
Swipes brings faster app switching and multitasking to Android. With Recent App Cards you can change between your recent apps with a single swipe from the edge of the screen faster than any other way. The Favorites drawer let's you add your favorite apps, toggles, actions, widgets, and shortcuts to have access to them anywhere and anytime while using your device. When upgraded you can create as many Favorite Lists as you please and with up to 8 different swipes you have easy access to all of them. With the Quick Launch feature you can add your most used app to have it 1 swipe away at anytime.
The free version includes access to the Left and Bottom Left Swipe areas for a total of 4 swipes. With a one time in-app purchase you can unlock the Right and Bottom Right Swipe areas for an additional 4 swipes. The free version also restricts favorite lists to Apps, Toggles, and Actions.
and why it's different:
Gives you 3 options for the side areas. Allows for multiple areas to be active at once. Multiple favorites lists. Faster app switching, instead of cycling through all your apps if you pass one you can go back and it's an easier motion to cycle through apps. Option to quick launch most used app. Recent App Cards look like they belong in android and not windows 8. Toggles indicate status.
I use this app everyday and the way I set it up is I have two favorite lists, one opens on the up swipe and the other opens on the down swipe. The regular swipe does recent apps cards. I mirror the functionality on the left and right swipe areas so no matter which hand I have my phone in, I don't have to reach across the screen with my thumb. One list contains the apps I use the most often including Chrome, Netflix, BubbleUPNP (for chromecasting), I put a brightness and toggle because I go in and out of the office frequently, I also put a direct call shortcut since I call work everyday when I am outside the office. My other favorite list has my morning routine apps in it so when I wake up I can quickly go through all the news and stuff.
Let me know how you end up using it and maybe I can add features to make it better.
Download here
Great Works. With both left and right bottom swipe area, plus diagonal side wide are the best upgrades from Kakudo!
I once experienced a crash (Swipes stopped) with the latest version of Dolphin Browser when doing diagonal wipe. But I cannot replicate the crash again so it could be a rare occurrence.
Highly Recommended!
It recently came to my attention that if you bought Kakudo Pro and download Swipes it may not work. I am working on fixing this but for now if you had previously bought Kakudo Pro you have to Uninstall it then install Swipes and open Swipes, then download Kakudo Pro and open Swipes. Everything works correctly if you do it this way. I am looking into why it might not work the other way.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Premium HD app
UPDATE:
With the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop the method used to access recent apps has be depreciated and no longer works. Because of this the recent apps option in swipes will not function on devices running android 5.0 or above. In the next update for swipes this feature will either be changed to open the stock recents window or hidden on devices running android 5.0 and above. I do not know when I will release the update as I am currently working on all of my apps to update them for Lollipop as well as a new app.
I will continue to look for other ways of continuing the functionality of the swipe for recents if not for everyone who uses Swipes but for me as I still find myself swiping from the side to switch back and forth between apps while using Android 5.0

Lock screen apps offer an easy way to personalize your Android phone or tablet.
1. MagicLocker Main
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker&hl=en
Love different themes? Magic Locker Main offers a whole bunch of them, and is a lockscreen we can highly recommend. There are around 3000 various free themes ready to be downloaded for free from the Play Store, so choice isn’t the issue here, though choosing one could be! The app settings allow the user to change time, date and app shortcuts, as well as sound effects. Please note: so that the lockscreen isn’t easily bypassed by pressing on the home button, you might need to resort to a double lockscreen, which the developer explains in the FAQs on the Play Store.
There are over 3000 themes that you can download and use to personalize your lockscreen.
2. Locker Master
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qiigame.flocker.global&hl=en
Again, Locker Master is a master of themes, even offering unique ones like ukulele, pumpgun or cupcake. It can be unlocked with patterns or various actions, shortcuts can be added as well as weather animation, quick settings and many other useful tools. There are more options that can be used but only when you have an alternate launcher installed. Music players widgets look great on this lockscreen and you can even get notifications from your social networks.
There are a bunch of different themes and unlocking options.
3. MixLocker
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simico.creativelocker&hl=en
A super fresh lockscreen alternative on the app market is MixLocker. Next to tons of themes, you’ll also get entire wallpaper packages to keep your lockscreen interesting. The menu is super intuitive, however under the tools section, you will only find the flashlight and barcode scanner lockscreen shortcuts for now. In comparison to other apps, it also lacks the possibility to set up the lockscreen as desired. It does however let you use your own pictures on the lockscreen, but after a while you might notice that the picture slideshow uses up a lot of battery.
This app offers great designs.
4. Go locker
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jiubang.goscreenlock&hl=en
Go Locker offers quite the big lockscreen package with a bunch of great themes, whether it be 3D animations, iPhone or Windows styles, to name a few. There are a lot of possibilities, but not all are free, which you will discover after installing the app. In the settings, you will further options, like lockscreen pattern or a widget screen setup. When unlocking the screen, I did notice that it was slightly laggy. But in total, Go Locker will fulfill all of your customization needs and offer you a very intuitive settings menu.
Lots of the themes can be installed from the Google Play Store.
5. WidgetLocker Lockscreen
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&hl=en
WidgetLocker Lockscreen can (almost) do it all! After a slight learning curve, the lockscreen alternative offers a ton of options, like color, widgets, shortcuts for apps and other functions, which can be added to the lockscreen. The varied settings menu also lets you set up the unlocking method and sounds. You are even able to backup your prefered settings option right on the app. There is only one setback: WidgetLocker Lockscreen costs 2.99 USD.
To figure out the various setting's options here, you will need some time, but after that it's smooth sailing.

Hi there! It should be already working.
Are you sure Shizuku service is running? Please note that while attempting to pair, whenever you visit developer settings, you must keep going back with gestures or on-screen navigation back button. Switching directly from settings to Shizuku App using gestures or recents doesn't work.
