SmartLockScreenMake your lockscreen smarter than ever before!For Jellybean, KitKat and Lollipop devices
The Idea
The main idea behind this app can be considered as an extended version of 'Smart Lock' introduced by Google in Lollipop. The development of this app started before Google announced L during I/O 14, though.
We are in different environments at different times, and might prefer different security levels in each environment.

Using this app, you can define different environments and assign different passwords to each of them.
App will detect environment changes automatically and presents you the assigned password whenever you want to unlock the phone!
_What's an Environment?
Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth devices and Location areas (geofences) can be used to define environments.
Specifying multiple parameters for an environment checks for all of them.
Assigning a password to an environment is done at the time of creating an environment. Support for more password types are coming in the future.
_There's more!
Lollipop style lockscreen with notifications for Jellybean and KitKat (can be disabled)
Restricted profiles - Set up restricted profiles for your friends/family and limit access to apps. You can assign a different password to each restricted profile (password, pin, pattern or none).
Intelligent environment overlap resolution. But you always have the option to override it manually.
Material Design, and smooth animations. (See screenshots below)
_Some details
The app uses admin privileges to set system password, so it comes with the security of Stock lock screen
Pattern lock is supported. If you have root, stock pattern lock will be used. Please see Post #3 for more details. If you do not have root, a built-in pattern library is used (it still sets a user-defined master password in the background so that lockscreen is actually secure). But this built-in pattern is not guaranteed to work in every device.
The core functionality is working, but this is still a work in progress. Please report bugs, crashes etc in this thread. Logcat will be highly appreciated!

_FAQs
1. My screen froze while on lock screen. How to recover?
Ans: Try rebooting the phone by long pressing power button. Upon reboot, try master password first, if it does not work, try passwords which you've set for different environments. Try to reproduce the problem, and send us a logcat.
2. How to uninstall the app?
Ans: First open SmartLockScreen Settings, delete all environments, and set passphrase for unknown environment as None. Then go to Settings -> Security -> Device Administrators, uncheck SmartLockScreen there. Now uninstall the app just like any other app. Please come back to this thread and post why you uninstalled it, what's missing/what's bothering you.
3. Can you add fingerprint sensor support?
Ans: I'm looking into it. Till Lollipop, there's no standard API or structure for fingerprint sensors, so parts of the implementation will have to be device specific or manufacturer specific. That being said, I'm trying to add support to Samsung devices first.
Also, things should improve with Android M, since fingerprint APIs will become standardized with it.
FAQs will be updated when certain questions get frequently asked.

Configuring environments
Let's consider some examples.
Say you want to set phone password as none automatically whenever your bluetooth headset is connected to it. Just go to manage environments screen, click the '+' button on top right, give a name and hint for the environment, click checkbox on Bluetooth card, select your bluetooth device after clicking the button that appears. Go down to passphrase card, choose none. Click done button at the top. That's it!
Whenever you are not connected to the headset, phone password will automatically change to Unknown Environment password(if you have set it) or the master password, if you haven't set password specifically for unknown environment.
Let's consider another scenario, you want no security at home, pattern at work, and a pin elsewhere. Just add 2 environments corresponding to home and work. You can use Wi-Fi or Location or both to identify the environment. Remember that if you set both Wi-Fi and Location, it'll check for both; i.e. you have to be connected to the Wi-Fi network, as well as in the particular area defined. If you want to detect in either case, just make 2 separate environments, 1 with Wi-Fi and 1 with location, and give the same passphrase in both.
Any number of environments can be added. You can set any passphrase for any environment, including unknown environment. You build the configuration that works best for you.
_
Configuring restricted profiles
Suppose you want to share your phone with your child, and make sure that (s)he can access only certain games which you have downloaded for her. Go to SmartLockScreen Settings, click the item which shows the current user, click 'Add new profile', and give it a name. Now click on the new profile (it must have appeared in that list). You'll see 2 new options in the Nav drawer now. Click allowed apps and click on the games which you want to allow, plus the launcher app you're using currently. Now go to set passphrase and set a suitable passphrase. You can set none if anyone anytime can unlock your phone using that profile, or you can set something else as well.
To switch profiles, just turn off the screen and turn it back on. Click on the user icon which appears at the top right corner. List of profiles will appear. Click on the desired profile to switch to. The screen will turn off and on again so that the password change will take effect.

Instructions, Downloads, Changelogs, Known Bugs etc
Important - Please read carefully
If you choose to use 'System pattern lock (Requires root)' - this option can be found in General Settings->Pattern Type if you have root access - please be careful.
This feature has been tested in AOSP ROMs only. Please make a nandroid backup, or at least Ti backups, especially if you're on a custom skin of Android like TouchWiz.
I request everyone to test this feature and report success/failure so that any problems which could arise can be fixed quickly
_
System Requirements
Android 4.1+
Latest Google Play Services
Notifications in lock screen works only in 4.3+, as of now. We're working to bring them to lower versions as well
Doesn't work in MIUI. We would like to get testers who can work with us to sort out the issues with MIUI
Testing has been done mainly on AOSP based ROMs (mainly a Nexus 4 and Nexus 5). The app might crash or not work as expected in certain manufacturer versions of Android. We haven't seen this behavior anywhere yet, but we would like to find out, and sort out the issues.
_
Installation Instructions
Important: The basic initialization steps haven't been compiled into a proper set up wizard when app first runs, so please follow these instructions carefully.
Download the apk (see below) and install it.
Go to Settings -> Security and change password to none. This is done so that unlock becomes simple whenever password is set to none by the app.
Install the apk file. See downloads to get the apk file.
For Android 4.3+, Go to Settings -> Security -> Notification Access and select SmartLockScreen.
Open SmartLockScreen settings. You'll be prompted to set a master passphrase, and activate Device Admin for that app, after which you'll be taken to Main Settings screen. Master passphrase can only be password/pin for security, and it'll be used by default on unknown environments. You can set a different password for unknown environment though, from Manage Environments screen. Add different environments using '+' menu item in Manage Environments screen.
Click on the user name to see list of profiles. Click add new profile option in the list to add restricted profiles. Once you select a restricted profile from the list, the options available will change accordingly and you can set which apps are allowed for that profile and what passphrase should be used for that profile.

Do you see an overlay showing the time, before you're entering your password? If not, drawing overlays doesn't seem to be working. Can you please tell me your android version, and ROM, if its not stock?
Installed and seems to be working
Tested so far: Set environment "Work" to activate when I am connected to their wifi. No security - Works no problem. When I set patter, pin or password, my previous lockscreen shows up after I swipe up to unlock. Then I have to swipe up again. Then the security (pin, password, Pattern) comes up and once entered I get on my home screen (or whatever app I left off at). I am using Viper Rom 6..2.1 (Android 4.4.2) on HTC One M7.
Same stuff happens with unknown environment. When set to none, one swipe up goes to where I left off.
Is that a design flaw in Android or does your app activate the stock lockscreen?
Btw love how everything looks. One thing that is kind of annoying is showing me as a notification what environment I am in. Did you mean to design it like that or no? Basically I like to have a clean screen when there are no notifications. I can swipe it away but it comes back after turn off and turn back on the screen.

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback.
That is a design flaw in Android, I'd have to say. If the phone should be truly secure, the password should be set as system password. But then, in certain implementations of Android, along with it, comes an additional screen, like the one on HTC. This doesn't happen in AOSP actually, at least till KitKat. I'm thinking of ways to solve this problem.. Initial thoughts suggest that the app should provide an option to disable the lock screen overlay showing the notifications.
Regarding the persistent notification, we'll add an option to turn that off.

If you have enabled the option 'Disable HW Overlays' in developer options, please try switching that off. If that does not work, I'll definitely investigate further. I might need your help, I'll PM you in that case.

Wow thanks for a quick reply. I will set up no security for the places where I spend most of my day. And for the rest, I will just deal with it for now. Will let you know if there are any other issues. Thanks

Swiping left freezes my phone completely. It gets about half way in the animation and freezes. Turning off and on does not fix it. A restart goes back to normal but I tried swiping again and it froze again. No security set in current environment. Swiping right works fine and the dialer shows up after a second or two. Again, Using HTC One M7 with Viper Rom (Android 4.4.2).

Would it be too much to ask for a logcat? Intent to open camera on HTC devices must be different. It'll be solved in next version.
Edit: On second thoughts, it might be the absence of a "secure" camera module in Sense. Didn't think that devices might not have it. I'll add the fix right away. Unfortunately I won't be able to upload a new version until Sunday, I'm preparing for my GRE (on Saturday).

Heres a log cat plus a screenshot of how the freeze looks like (Phone still lets me take a screenshot with the physical buttons).
I have no idea how to read a logcat
EDIT: I dont mind waiting. This is not important to me as I mainly want the notifications. The dialer and camera are pluses. Your test is way more important and you should focus on that right now. Good luck on the test.
Edit 2: Attached a second logcat generated by app "alogcat"

Yup, identified the problem. It's as I thought, no activity for secure camera. Logcat helped a lot. I owe you a thanks.
This app is exactly what I've been looking for, except one small detail - it doesn't support my device's Android version!
Darn, why does nobody make apps for 2.1 anymore?
Oops, I know the answer - it's outdated and old. But still, it's not fun having a device that can use so few apps.
Oh yeah, it's the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, by the way.

While developing, we tried to make it support the lowest version of android possible, but there were certain apis absent in ICS and below which we simply couldn't do without. But in the future, I'll try and reduce the min android version.

It's my first time developing an app.
And there are some time constraints as well... I'll see what I can do.
Howdy (and apologies ahead of time if this is a dup, I _did_ search, didn't find anything),
Is it just me or did application specific passwords break with Lollipop? Googled a bit and couldn't find any details. I just see postings stating that 2fa works now, but I don't see how that negates the need for app specific passwords.
I know 2fa is now supported but I'm a bit concerned to use my normal password as I'm not sure if it's stored in any way. Anyone know of any links that explain what exactly is stored and how the auth is persisted across reboots? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I thought that if my device was lost, with app passwords I could revoke the device without changing my main password.
The other issue is, since I'm using 2fa with the google auth app on this phone I wouldn't even be able to setup if I wiped this phone (which I will need to). At least prevously I could login to my google account on my PC, create the app specific password and sign on that way.
- TIA for any info
I have just upgraded my Nexus 5 from 4.4.4 into 5.0.1 (I didn't install 5.0.0). What I did:
1. Factory reset on 4.4.4
2. Install system update into 5.0.1
2. Factory reset on 5.0.1
3. Application specific password NOT accepted on initial account setup on Nexus 5. I had to use my master password and code list because you can't read sms before account is added on the phone.
Is this really broken? I haven't found any info on this either.
Wow, someone else who was using this feature. That makes 2 of us at least. I guess that's why they removed it...? Yeah, unless I'm missing something it appears it's indeed broken.
The best part is this isn't really part of Android, but part of gapps; no way to report bugs for that (at least that I've found). Someone opened a bug against AOSP but they closed it as this stuff isn't part of AOSP:
{scheme}code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=57863&can=1&q=app%20specific%20password&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
They suggested using the "google mobile help forum"; I guess this page links to it: {scheme}googlemobile.blogspot.com/2008/11/got-questions-try-new-google-mobile.html - following the link just gives an error "no group mobile found" or something similar.
All I could see to do was to post a response to their help page on signing in with app specific password to Play pointing out the inaccuracy of the article. I can't find that article anymore, it looks like it might've been removed? I received no response to that.
I can't imagine this being a very difficult feature to support, so I'm a little surprised it was removed. But hey, at least they added all sorts of eye candy and other crap I don't really care about.
I think this is a deal breaker for me. Unless I'm misunderstanding here, if someone were to acquire my phone and extract the password the key or whatever it's storing, they would then be able to access my account settings and take full ownership. If it only had the app specific password, I don't think that'd allow them to modify security settings. If it's tieing the key to the device, that's great but I still can't revoke it (doesn't show up in the app specific password page). Unacceptable (again, unless I'm misunderstanding something?).
Maybe it's time to start looking for alternatives. Wonder if any Maemo derivatives can run on the M8? It was miles ahead of Android in all departments except eye candy anyways...
I'll reply here if I see any more info - please do the same.
This is totally broken.
My company uses App Specific Passwords and I just updated my Droid Turbo to Lollipop.
After the update, everything worked fine. However, I started getting google play service errors and had to wipe.
Now I need to log in using my authenticator password instead of my app specific password.
Not good

Agreed. Quite unfortunate, but I can't find anyone outside of this thread and a few random posts that seem to actually care.
Thanks for confirmation that this is still a problem, btw. I'm still not sure if there's anyplace to even raise this to Google...
i just spent an hour trying to understand why this smart feature wasn't working on my new mobile with a stock andorid lollipop! at least i feel less lonely now...
i sent a feedback to google even if i don't think they'll reply.. i opened a ticket on AOSP website (Issue 189310) if you want to check their reply.. sorry but i can't post outside links
DroidLock is a security application that sets your lock screen PIN code to the current time/date/battery resulting in an ever changing PIN that can not be shoulder surfed.
FEATURES
Time Pin
12H Time: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 0123
24H Time: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 1323
Offset Minutes to add or subtract to the current time: Offset =10 and 12H: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 0133
Custom Offset Minutes Value
Date Pin
International Format (DD/MM): PIN will be 0405 (May 4, 2016)
USA Format (MM/DD): PIN will be 0504 (May 4, 2016)
2 Digit Year (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY): PIN will be 040516 (International Format) (May 4, 2016)
4 Digit Year (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY): PIN will be 04052016 (International Format) (May 4, 2016)
Battery Pin
The current battery percentage is set as your password: Phone Battery %: 52, PIN will be 5252
Geek Pin (Customized Pin)
The user can choose any of the available components and form a combination and set it as the phone password. See the screenshots for examples. (PIN can be a combination of battery, hours(12H), month, minutes : 52010523)
ADD-ON TYPES
The following Add-ons to morph the PIN and to further enhance security.
Double: Doubles the PIN. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 12341234
Mirror: Mirrors the PIN. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 12344321
Sum: Adds the digits of the PIN. If the time is 12:34, the PIN will be 1010 as 1+2+3+4.
Reverse: Reverses the pin. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 4321
The pin then changes dynamically based on the chosen settings and options making it impossible to be predicted. Download this app to lock your phone and dance your way through piggybackers.
PERMISSIONS
◆ To start the app on device boot.

Q. Your rescue method is also not working and I'm a not a root user
- Only option is to do a factory reset or flash your firmware once again
Q. Now I hate you because of your app, I lost my data
- This app is still in beta. You are testing at your own risk. We are trying hard to support majority of the devices. We can't afford own all the devices. We have kept a donation in-app product so that we can spend some money on buying the device and physically test it.
Q. When will you release this app for all?
- Only after we feel that we have supported most of the devices.
Q. How can I help you as a beta tester?
- Use the app for few days and share your experience along with your device name, android version, Stock ROM or custom ROM.
Q. Can I deny the permissions that I granted to the app?
- Why to fall into problem?
Q. What happens if I disable master toggle?
- Just don't do that
- It won't reactivate your old lockscreen style
Q. Does your app drains the battery as it stays in the background?
- Hardly 1%
Q. I want to report some bug or issue.
- Post it here
- A supporting video(at least 720p) would be much helpful so that we can virtually look what's happening
Q. How do I uninstall this app?
- Go to Security - >Device Admin Rights - > Uncheck DroidLock
- Read the message it shows!
- Now you can uninstall or clear data of the app
Q. I want to translate this app.
- We'll let you know about it.
- But let us know if you are interested.
Q. What will I get by testing your app?
- Dynamic PINs which no one can predict
Q. A persistent notification about your app stays and I want to disable it.
- Don't disable it as it is in testing phase. We'll provide some solution to it later on
Q. I uninstalled your app, but my lockscreen type is still PIN style.
- The unlocking PIN will be your master PIN
- You need to physically change it from your settings
Q. Is smartlock working?
- Only one the user says yes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66788380&postcount=70
Q. I have a Huawei device
- Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66757123&postcount=58
Q. I want to know how many times your(Havan Somaiya) device was locked up?
- To be specific, it was 3 times. But I was lucky enough to break the PIN by guesswork. I managed to recollect the last successful PIN I used when master pin was not working.
- Rescue Mode was not deployed during those development days.
Q. I'm locked up and I know what is adb and it is configured with my system
- Adb shows your current unlocking pin
Search for "Op:" in the adb logs
Q. I'm tired of reading all these questions.
- Thanks for reading and I'm thankful to you for testing DroidLock for your device
Q: How can I uninstall this app?
A: Go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and disable DroidLock. You can now uninstall DroidLock normally.
Q: How to dismiss the persistent notification in the status bar?
A:The notification is necessary to ensure DroidLock isn't killed by the system or cleaning apps like Clean Master. For now don't disable the notifications by going to App Info. Reason: On 3 wrong password attempts it will send a notification that 'Pin reset to master Pin'
Q: Locked out of the device and forgot the time/date/battery options selected?
A: Restart the device and enter master pin.
Q: Does the master PIN stays the unlock password even after 1st Unlock?
A: In some devices like Sony Xperia, it takes about 3 minutes for the app to initialize itself and set the unlock password as per the options selected.
Q: I have found a bug. How do I report?
A: Report the bug in detail along with the logs and a video to support your claim.
Q: Can I help you somehow?
A: Yes, of course!
- Read the last question about supported devices and help us know if you have a device where the app doesn't work or has some problems.
- If you could produce a video highlighting all the features of the app, we will make it our default video on play store.
Q: Which are the devices used to test during the development of this app?
A: All Stock UI devices and specific OEMs like
- Nexus Devices
- OnePlus Devices
- Motorola Devices
- Samsung Devices
- Sony Xperia Devices
- Xiaomi Devices
Please let us know if you have tried any other devices and can ensure complete functioning of this app. We'll add it in our list.
Working perfectly on Galaxy S4 running Cyanogen Mod 12.1!
Please add support for more complex passwords for master pin such as letters and symbols up to 64 characters long.
Thank you so much!!!

Would you guys want to test some experimental builds to make it compatible with Android N? If yes please PM me.
Works fine on Moto G! A really good replacement for TimePin!
Sent from my XT1033 running good ol' Stock ROM
Great idea!
Just too bad that here in Vegas at 2PM in broad daylight I can hardly see my pattern lock, never mind a keyboard with numbers etc.
App works fine. Could you make Smart Lock work with this, please? I'm using SONY Xperia Z3 (D6603) on eXistenZ v1.0.5 (Marshmallow).
Tested
Yes I have tested it and it works LIKE A BOSS!
SERIOUSLY, if I was a boss, a CEO, etc, this would top my phone off!
But alas, not yet. At least I have a super awesome app that a whole team of people were kind enough to publish! :victory:
I'm surprised though, why isn't this already followed by at least 1,000 people?
---------- Post added at 05:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------
For phones that have a proximity sensor in front, would it be possible to add to the settings of the app an additional feature whether or not the proximity sensor is covered to make it work? An additional security feature for those that want it.
Not working Fine
Its working on my samsung galaxy tab 3 smt210 (Nolekat 4.4.2)but the number 0 is not typing instead the number 1,5,7 comes randomly

Why just 1,000? We need more than that number
We'll improve DroidLock App as time goes on and try to add the feature suggested by you.
You can check our future roadmap in the OP. We cannot give you any ETAs for suggested features.
Thanks for using DroidLock App :good:

Are you on latest beta version?
Did you try clearing app's data? (First go to Settings->Security->Device Admin Rights->Uncheck DroidLock App and now clear data of the app)
Works awesome, nice job bro
Galaxy S7 edge
Downloaded but at work right now so I'll try it tonight (I can't afford to lock myself out of my device during work ). Thanks for this, I've been waiting for an app like that for a while. I'll give feedback when installed and running

Thanks for using DroidLock. Do share your experience with us so that we can understand how many devices are supported by DroidLock and how many of them are not.
Can we have an option to enter the md5# of the current time?
This is an awesome idea, and I'll be testing it on 2 devices and report back.
EDIT: Installed on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 w/stock 5.0, and it works properly. Also survives a reboot.
