Although the full version can be free any way, so it may be allowed. Also, for those of you worried about the permissions of some of the chinese apps, just pick other chinese apps. I picked Feiuu download and 3 others. Uninstalled almost immediately after. No problems. Just look at the permissions before you install and if they make you nervous, try the other ones.
[Android Apps and Games] Larsiano:
[ATTENTION] OK!! THERES DEFINITLY SOMETHING STRANGE WITH THESE CHINESE APPS!

After installing 3 of these Chinese apps I got several horrifying and alarming errors on my device.

The lockscreen function has totally freaked out. Neither this Sense lockscreen nor lockscreens like Goto, simply lockscreen or the stock lockscreen are functional. Every time when I clicked on the power button to reactivate the lockscreen, it took over 5 sec. for the completely screen to show a sign of life.

After restarting my device I wasn’t able anymore to enter my PIN….the function….the input vanished completely, even after restarting my device 3 times. Some apps on my drawer are not listed anymore, even though there are still installed.

My clock & weather Widget shows the horizontal rotate version of the widget when it’s vertical and switch to the vertical when it’s horizontal. The Home button doesn’t react sometimes and beside that, I got several spam SMS’s.

And the list of errors still goes on…..

What the hell is wrong with you, are you totally insane or what, to recommend other people for downloading stuff like that, which is just a mere bunch of malware? Have you even tested these chinese apps for safety?

Hell…..thank you for restoring my entire system for this ****ing app…..:mad:
[Android Apps and Games] xboxfanj:
Sorry about that, but you don't need to attack me. I didn't make the app, but it did work for me and a number of other people. Someone said earlier that you can contact the developer. Try that. If it hadn't worked for me, I wouldn't have posted it
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
I would defiantly get rid of the point this & just have a normal free thing & paid thing.

Whew! Glad I bought the paid version after a short time playing with the demo.

One minor question - in the pix I see a slight curve to the shortcuts (edge ones are a bit lower then the middle ones). On mine, they are all in a straight line. I kinda like the curve better. This just me?

Suggestions I sent in:

- option to remove date

- option to remove time

- option to use custom icon for an app

- or maybe allow any shortcut (direct dial, desktop visualizer, folder organizer...etc)

Still liking my live wallpaper thing!
[Android Apps and Games] phoenixs4r:
And you thought that installing random Chinese apps on your phone was a good thing?
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
I downloaded 4 of those chinese apps, instantanly uninstalling after opening. I'm good on my end. I'm glad I didn't pay for it, I much prefer ripple lock (which I did pay for). I would be nice if the icons could be moved up (since tapping on the two middle ones can open them), also for both ripple and agile I wish there was a custom screen off timer.
[Android Apps and Games] xboxfanj:
Someone else posted it in the apps section of my phone and they said it was safe so I trusted them and its been fine on my end
[Android Apps and Games] xboxfanj:
Maybe, but if youre talking about the screenshots I posted in this thread, those are from the real sense because I thought out looked more like that than the market screenshots
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
Yup. I was. So add raising the 2 middle icons to my small wants thread :)
[Android Apps and Games] 2leaponover1:
You get what you pay for? I can't believe some fools are downloading Chinese apps and whining about what's happened. Pay for the app, especially if its good! Give the developers incentive to keep making good apps. IDIOTS!
[Android Apps and Games] Maddymiru:
How did you remove that arc behind the lock ring?? and how to change that colour??

Another problem i am having is that when i get a call then i cant answer it through this lockscreen.. my normal method of answering comes up..

[Android Apps and Games] damngood98:
doesn't fc on me but after the 3rd time of trying to wake my phone with no response and having to do a battery pull, i just disabled this until it has an update or 2
[Android Apps and Games] xboxfanj:
No problem. Sorry for the people having issues though. On the market there's a way to contact the people who made the app, so you should do that if you have issues. No weird calls yet for me. I guess you guys need to look at the permissions before installing the chinese apps if you are planning on going that route.

[Android Apps and Games] Vortex Unleashed:
Hey MarcusBremen I have a question for you if you don’t mind and everyone else who knows also how to modify this Lock app.

I have tried to replace the blue transparent bar behind the ring with another PNG pic, as you said via winrar.

But when I do It, the app is not installable anymore.

Replacing so far works fine, but the app don’t allow a installation anymore. What I’m doing here exactly wrong?

Thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] ph91ctl:
nice app, works fine on p500
[Android Apps and Games] xboxfanj:
Try using the shortcut for Go SMS instead of stock messaging.
[Android Apps and Games] jakijal:
not too sure exactly what it is but i know back in the day, if u modified apk files, they had to be signed again before trying to installing them.
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
That is still true today. A member on XDA named mixpix edited a batch file to sign .apk's. Just download the .zip below, remove the Meta-inf folder in the apk (which you likely made into a .zip, or take out the folder via 7-zip), move the apk into the extracted downloaded zip folder. and then drag the .apk file into the batch file.

[Android Apps and Games] blitzeratic1:
notice a bug...

i thought everything was working well with this app but i realize when i try to open up an app from the lock screen (lets say for example messaging) it will open up again the next time i try to unlock my screen. and this happens when i'm not trying to get into that app. i'm just trying to unlock my screen to go home. i did it a few times and it does the same thing. i try to restart my phone and that doesn't help. even when i clicked on the agile lock icon in my app drawer to stop the app, it went to my messaging app (or whatever app i've tried to open via lock screen.) i don't know if anyone else has this problem but any help would be appreciated. oh, i even tried this on my gf g2 and it does that too.
[Android Apps and Games] jakijal:
i have the same issue. i tried wiping the data in the application menu and nothing. ill let u guys know if i find a solution to it.
[Android Apps and Games] Vortex Unleashed:
Yeah, exactly that is it, worked like charm. Thank u both very much. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jakijal:
no problem.
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusBremen:
yeah that's what i did with every app i modded, or roms i build.

resign it.

batch is called autosign, very easy to use, rest is easy to learn.

here 's the link from jay2kings, so i don't have to search for it, :p.

btw, i installed 4 japanese apps to get the full key, erase them after the key and i don't haved any behaviour on my phone, desire rooted redux 1.2.

so i don't know what happens at some others with this app, workin flawless.
[Android Apps and Games] dac2009:
love the app but going to have to uninstall it do to the fact that now any button can unlock the screen.before it was the power button only to unlock the device. am i missing something here. is there a way to change that setting.
[Android Apps and Games] eep2378:
I downloaded some of the chinese apps to earn the 300pts to unlock paid version(free), then deleted them :). But when I select apps to open upon unlock, when I move the circle over each app they disappear and it doesnt take me to that app, it just unlocks the device. ??
[Android Apps and Games] phoenixs4r:
Move the app to the circle.
[Android Apps and Games] Tribulattifather:
For those of you still having problems with a double lock screen:

First, go into the "Agile Lock" settings.

Second, press "STOP."

Third, (Download "No Lock" from the Android Market) Run "No Lock."

Fourth, Reboot.

Fifth, go back to "Agile Lock" settings and press "START."

Test it out.
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
It's no problem.

Weird thing id if I leave my screen off for a while (like 30 to 60 minutes) either no lock or agile/ripple lock would re-enable my standard lock screen. I would then have to stop the custom lock re-enable my lock and the disable it again, and finally start back the custom lock. I figured it works better without no lock.

Because one signature isn't enough.
[Android Apps and Games] blitzeratic1:
yeah definitely let me know if you find a solution. i do want the sense 3.0 lock screen but that problem is a no go till they get that fixed.:(
[Android Apps and Games] mehappyz:
A note to people who experience the issue where the power button does not wake the phone:

I contacted the developer and he said that this is due to something in CyanogenMod. He knows about it and is trying to fix it, so don't panic!
[Android Apps and Games] theReDkoolAiD:
I got the paid app and when I change the shortcut so that Go SMS Pro is the second, and just unlock the screen it goes to Go SMS Pro. I have changed the shortcut cut again to the stock Message it goes Go SMS Pro. Am I the only one this is happening to?
[Android Apps and Games] jakijal:
okay, i think i might have cracked the combo here (after messing around with it 4 the past hour or so)...

as many of u have experienced, the phone keeps unlocking to an app u last unlocked to using the lock screen (man... 2 many "lock" words in there...). annoying? oh yeah! lol. only way it would work 4 me is if i would reboot the phone.

anyway...

if it keeps unlocking to a specific app rather than the last place u were at before the phone went to sleep, all u have to do after you unlock the phone is press the back button (i think all of you should have back buttons on ur phones).

for those of u that i lost with the previous explanation, ill make it easy on you.

1st: wake ur phone up from sleeping and stay on the lock screen.

2nd: drag ur first app on the lock screen to the circle (actually any of the 4 will work).

3rd: the phone shouldve opened up that specific app u chose. if not... ur on ur own.

4th: press the back button. whatever u do, DONT press the home button. it just wont work.

last: after u have pressed the back button, u can do whatever u want with ur phone. u can now make sure it unlocks to where u last turned the screen off.

tedious? not really. just one button press 2 make it work after unlocking the screen. hopefully this helps out a ton of u. lol.
[Android Apps and Games] xboxfanj:
Thanks, that helps a lot.

For CM7 users: Settings->CyanogenMod->Tablet Tweaks-> Deactivate Lockscreen

should solve the double-Lockscreen issue without using 3rd party app.
[Android Apps and Games] smithisize:
I really like it, but it has a few kinks to be worked out before it's truly a lockscreen and not simply an imitator lol
[Android Apps and Games] azezoz:
Something weird with my nexus s is that it won't unlock with the power button, but with the volume up button, nothing major, but just annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] blitzeratic1:
That defeats the purpose of having that on your lockscreen if you have to press another time. I might as well unlock the screen to my home then go into that app. I know I'm *****in over one more press but it would be nice if it worked how it should. It's more convenient.

I installed Feiliu (before I read your post) but I scanned it with 5 anti-virus programs today and haven't found anything.
[Android Apps and Games] mv0hra:
I think you might be on to something there.

I tried installing one of the 100 point software and AVG, on my mobile, reported it as malware or virus, can not remember which. After cancelling the installation, the software tried to install itself again.

I installed the other point based software which AVG did not report with issues. Lets hope they were clean.

Needless to say I uninstalled all of the point based software.
[Android Apps and Games] mv0hra:
For me the tablet tweak did not work, instead it disabled both locks, "no lock" seems to work a treat.

Edit: Spoke to soon, "no lock" seemed to do nothing, both locks are still active.
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
I made sure when I installed the apps, all I did was install it, instantly open (so it doesn't try to do something in the background), quit out via home once I see something that's not a black screen, quickly move to my app drawer to uninstall it (for once MotoBlur saved my phone, the Recents list [via long-home] can allow me to uninstall as well). Install next app. Rinse and repeat until 300 points. I installed 4 chinese apps a week ago and never had anything weird happen nor have non of the those install anything.
[Android Apps and Games] xboxfanj:
For me, no lock didn't work, but No Lock screen did. Just put the widget on your home screen and make it so the green light at the bottom is off.

THE THREADS ARE CREATED TO HELP SOME PEOPLE OUT BUT HE CLEARLY STATED THAT IT WAS YOUR CHOICE TO INSTALL THE APPS HE NEVER HELD A GUN AGAINST YOUR FREAKING HEAD AND MADE YOU INSTALL THEM SO BY ALL MEANS AND RESPECT IF YOU WANT TO GET ALL FUTURES BUY THE APP OR INSTALL THE CHINESE APPS.. IS YOUR CHOICE...

thanks dude for the post nice job
[Android Apps and Games] Tho San Thanh Pho:
Thats quite true and where I would agree with you.

to simplify:

1) its your device you do what you wanna do to it.

2) play the blame game, you do youll be flamed

3) no one forced you into doing so (aka life/death)

and 4)EVERY THING HAS RISKS, so by INSTALLING you ARE ACCEPTING THE RISKS <including bricking your device if it is or is not in beta>

*****caps arent ment to be yelled just for emphasis
[Android Apps and Games] androidsjonnie:
The second and the third shortcut you can launch by just tapping it, without actually drag it into the ring... I hope it won't launch accidently while it's in my pocket.

Other than that, it's a very slick app, very stable also. I prefer it to Widgetlocker with the 5second rule.

Could use some improvements like support for more shortcuts, fix the second and third app from launching without dragging it into the ring. And last but not least, support for pop-ups, like handcent sms popup or whatsapp popup.
[Android Apps and Games] oufti.com:
Hello,

With the new version with the custom icons on the lock screen I always have the default application icon undeneath my custom ones, I suppose it's a bug ?

Anyway, great lock, I love it.

Another suggestion, could it be possible to inactive all the buttons but one for the wake up ? And let the volume buttons active but that they do not wake the phone (like in Widget Locker).
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
The 1.2 update just fixed the second and third shortcut.

The same happens to me except instead of the default icon, I get my default text message icon on all of those I edited.
[Android Apps and Games] phoenixs4r:
Wish they would fix the power button not functioning correctly unless the status bar option is disabled on cm7 (HTC incredible)
[Android Apps and Games] aSquard:
I like this app however...

I wish it had an option for landscape for those of us with tablet devices (or at least rotatable) - just like Ripple Lock is. Also for some reason when I hit my volume buttons (screen off) the screen comes on, which I don't need happening. Otherwise I love it!

Streaking 1.9.1 with the XDA App
[Android Apps and Games] phoenixs4r:
It did at first release, it was awful on a phone though, haha.
[Android Apps and Games] XDA mark:
Well those apps you need to download in the free version really messed up my device. I bought the full version and deteled that crappy free version and everything... but I guess the virus is still in my phone.

It turns itself off so often, I cant turn of the screen because im afraid I will have to do another battery pull. The screen was upside down this morning... and all kinds of other weird things.

Pretty weird though, XDA recommending an app that can harm your device in this way.

The lockscreen itself is ok though.
[Android Apps and Games] shorty1483:
Had same constellation on device like you, but haven't one of your problems. Post a phone check log or a proof of "the virus in your phone" or stop blaming the App.
[Android Apps and Games] squall_kay:
notification

like this app. but how u guys manage the notification when using this lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Xda doesn't recommend the app. It us just posted here and you are expected to use it at your own risk. Why anyone would download a free app off a server in China that is not in the market is beyond me. I mean come on if the app is worth having then pay for it. Nothing is ever free. Your best bet is to reflash the ROM your on to clear out anything that may be left over. Next time please use more caution and do more research before you just install anything to your device. In these times malware is very real. If it is not in the market or done by one of the dev here (notice no one on Xda made this?) Approch with caution. If something asks you to download something from a server in China that is not verified best bet is not to do it.

[Android Apps and Games] Draak22:
Only one problem, when you use one of the shortcuts and exit the app with the home button. The next time you unluck, it goes straight back to previous app while it should go to homescreen.

[Android Apps and Games] thyttel:
I bought the paid version to support the developer but until the issue with unlocking the phone with the homebutton is fixed I won't be using it.

I don't understand why the developer did not fix this already as he knows this is an issue and widgetlocker gets around this nicely.

Please fix now:-)
[Android Apps and Games] jamal8820:
Works great! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Olioaglio:
If you leave "Display status bar" checked in settings, the home button won't unlock the device. You can additionally check "Disable status bar expansion" to be sure not to expand the bar accidentally while device is locked.

Nope, that does not work with galaxy s2.

Which is why he needs to implement the same home button fix widgetlocker uses.
[Android Apps and Games] Vulpix:
Doesn't work. I can still skip the lockscreen by pressing the home button twice on my SGS2.
[Android Apps and Games] Olioaglio:
So sorry. Works perfect on my HD2 so far. But I dislike, that additionally placed widgets are fully clickable on the locked screen. I have placed a weather widget and a calendar widget and I would rather have it just for information than being able to click it ending in the calendar app or settings. Maybe the developer can add an option to lock all but the unlock ring or at least add a delay on these items.
