That's a great idea. Improves security if someone was looking over your shoulder last time. Of course don't change picture until the current one has been answered properly. Maybe another extra for those of us that paid for the app?

Ya that is a really good idea for added security! That would continue to put this app far ahead of the others!

Re: [APP][2.0+]Picture Password Lockscreen V2.4

Wouldn't u have to define the gestures for each image in the first place??? Or u planning to predifine gestures for all the pics in ur gallery now?!?

I really find this so not usefull. But if someone here could enlight me on the subject, please do :)

On some other hand, is the app running smoothly for anyone else here? No weird behaviour at locking/unlucking? Especially for those with externally cropped images. Cause i still get some issues, probably cause of that, and i wanted to "hear" some other opinions.

Re: [APP][2.0+]Picture Password Lockscreen V2.4

If I haven't mentioned the idea of multiple pictures in this thread, I was certainly thinking about it, so good job there.

At any rate, I figured it would look like this:

A page where you picked which pictures you want to use, and you set up the different gestures for them.. Then it cycles through the pictures, using your different gestures to unlock it.

Not a predefined dot in the same spot on every picture or something like that.

And once in a while I run into weird issues, which is when I go to pin unlock and it is usually fine after that. I haven't had anything weird last for too long.. So, so far so good as far as I'm concerned. Mine are all cropped with quickpic based on a suggestion earlier in the thread
[Android Apps and Games] papaschtroumpf:
I do run into occasional hickups. Usually by not getting prompted to unlock. It seems to happen after alarms for example but I have not been able to reproduce reliably.

I am also using widget locker for my main lock screen so it could be specific to its interaction with PPL.

Not 100% foolproof but a good deterrent and way better than having to enter a pin.

Re: [APP][2.0+]Picture Password Lockscreen V2.4

Thanks! I'll check it out and report back later

Edit:

Few comments from using it for a few minutes:

Under setup, "set image" menu has the caption of selecting the gesture set instead of select images or something like that.

--- though now it makes more sense, within each heading you edit 1-3 of the 'gesture sets' depending on which option you selected.. Was a bit confusing at first and I didn't know if it was going to work.

And after I got all 3 set up, it went to my old lock screen for the first ~3 tries of turning the display on and off. Though it seems to be working fine now! Rotates through the pictures nicely.

Thanks for implementing this so fast!

(and while we're recommend things, I don't remember if I just thought of this idea, or if I actually mentioned it, but with the long press options to get to pin, use music controls, etc, it may be cool to be able to bring up the next few events on your calendar.. Dunno if anyone else would want that though)

I'll let you know how things are going later in the day
[Android Apps and Games] AftermatH101:
Thanks for putting the time into this.

The setup took a little bit of time to understand and get used to (admittedly, I'm not too familiar with the menu because I only had to use it once or twice before)... but once I got everything up and running, functions seem to work flawlessly. I have not tested start on boot or any of the advanced options.

Not sure if it's worthwhile, but perhaps the menu could be more picture centered? For example, have the menu list Picture1, Picture2, Picture3. Sub menus for each could be the current reset currently enabled gestures, set image, etc.

Currently, here's how I had to set things up:

--reset gesture

-pick picture# from menu and select gestures

--set image

-pick picture#

-choose/crop image

--set gesture

-pick picture#

-configure gesture

repeat 2 more times for second and third picture password...

I think a more intuitive menu (strictly for setting up picture passwords) could be

-select picture1, picture2, or picture3

-sub menu includes option to reset gesture, image, etc for the picture# you picked

reason that's easier for me is I know everything I do inside that menu would be applied to picture1, or 2 or 3.. didn't have to pick everytime

[Android Apps and Games] CataVlad:
Hey!

Could you make the app not close on holding back button? For those having HOLD BACK TO KILL activated.

It's a very usefull setting but it interferes with the PPL and it makes it very easy to bypass the app. It closes the app if BACK is hold on the lockscreen.

Or if it's an "unsolvable" issue, at least so i'd know this too in order not to keep wishing for it to get fixed some day :)

[Android Apps and Games] jb789:
+1 on this HOLD BACK TO KILL issue.

Also, I was wondering if the "emergency call" option still allows calling any number? It appears to on my device, but I don't have phone service on my device right now.
[Android Apps and Games] kevdliu:
I have been trying to fix those problems but these are caused by Android system limitations and may be very difficult to work around.
[Android Apps and Games] jb789:
Thanks for the follow up. I saw today that CyanX Lock has these features, so maybe that's a point for inspiration, but I haven't been able to really test them. Its "emergency dialer" option seems to work without allowing access to the rest of the device. It also has an option to enable/disable various buttons, not sure if that includes a hold or long-press, but I couldn't get that part to work. Seems to require a "Home Helper" which I couldn't get to override the ADW launcher built into CM7. Honestly, it all seemed kinda bloated & kludgey, so I'm holding out hope for your much more elegant app. Worst case, your WidgetLocker integration could take care of the emergency call stuff with an ICE app, but that requires buying WidgetLocker. The back button thing is a killer, though.
[Android Apps and Games] CataVlad:
TY!

Knowing ur trying to fix it is just as good, even if u succeed or not :)

Though, killing the app this way has its good part too. Right now it spared me some time and bad temper cause i didnt have to take the battery out after the PPL got blocked on a rotated, not unlockable image :) i thought this bug was gone. Havent had it in a couple of months. (LE i remembered i just updated the app yesterday. Could the new app have anything changed so that that pesky rotation bug returned?)

Do u guys with aokp ics roms, externally cropped image and hold back to kill enabled stii get this bug? I'm suspecting one of these factors. Let's see what a lil survey reveals :)

Thanks!

Big issue for me, and, I THINK, it's PPL related (since this issue, the only update I made is PPL) :

When the screen turns off and I press home/power button, the phone doesn't wake up ! Black screen of death. :( (Have to pull out the battery)

I uninstalled SetCPU, reinstalled my kernel.... and worked good form some hours... 'till I happens again ! :(

Any clue guys ?
[Android Apps and Games] CataVlad:
I don't think its PPL related. I've had the app for a long time now and seen enough bugs related to it, but i definately didnt experience this.

What phone, rom and kernel u using?

I also know there were many S2 sold on black friday by a big retailer here in romania that had the sod issue. Many of the users landed on a very popular here terminal dedicated forum reporting it. But most of them said a few months later that updating to jb solved the issue.

U could have a similar issue. Probably phone related if i'd have to guess.

Edit : I removed PPL and it happened another time. But once.

I was running CM10 + Siyah-Dorimanx kernel v7.28. I just installed v7.50.

So, the strange fact is that it happened suddendly, without any update or modifications....

Plus Key Trouble

Hey there, at first i want to thank you for that really cool app.

Well, because the app is so cool i wanted to buy the pro version via paypal. I did and copyed the serial key to my clipboard and then into the line where it belongs. But when i push 'submit' there is a notification wich says 'serial key denied' . But Paypal confirmed the transaction. Does the key need some time on your side to activate or was i just stupid and did something wrong?

Best regards

Kev, another issue :

1) SOMETIMES, after unlocking, the ring lockscreen shows up and most of the time not. «Easy wake» is unthicked.

2) Sometimes (very very rarely), after unlocking PPL, I see my homescreen for 1 sec and then PPL comes back, so I have to unlock it twice. Strange... :)

[Android Apps and Games] rongtrunghoa:

[Android Apps and Games] CataVlad:
Ok! Thanks :)

So, what happens to me with the new update is that i dont get the second lock sound, after 5s, but PPL gets enebled afer 5s anyways. So when i tried to unlock the app, EVERY TIME I TRIED IT WITH THE UPDATE, on my first screen touch, the screen goes black for half a second and the PPL comes back again. Only now can i introduce the gestures.

LE.. now that i thought about it a lil more, i believe that when i press the power button in order to unlock the app and i get the bug (image shows but when i touch it first time it goes black and reappears), PPL app aint activated even if the image shows up. Thats why you dont hear a 2nd lock sound. It only activates when the screen turns off at first touch.

Hope it helps. But i assume u already knew the behaviour :)

There seems to be an issue with the lock sounds. I mean, i dont get the first lock sound right on locking the screen, but at 5s after that. 2nd one is played right in the middle of introducing the gestures or even on the point of unlocking the screen. Weird.

That would be romanian. I went back to lokaligo after my previous message and i saw 7 of my translated strings were marked as "need review" ( "source text changed" ). Why would that be? Other romanian translators provided another translation and the missmatched strings are waiting for a review from me? Or what happened?

On a second thought, i'd choose suspend screen to if i used that. Not that hard to hold my finger on the screen for a short while to see those. And so the image stays more clean.

Kev, i think i found a very annoying bug. Please check when u can.

With ppl active and start on boot enabled, using a sim card with a pin code, please reboot phone and dont enter pin code before ppl image appears. After u introduce the gestures and unlock ppl, sim card unlocking screen dissapeared and u got no network until u reboot again.

Dont think this behaviour was present on older versions of ppl.

Hope its ppl related and u can fix that cause i sure got no idea what i can do get rif of this crap.

If u introduce the pin for the sim as fast as u can before ppl image prompts and press ok, then u got a network. Problem is when u dont (get to) unlock the sim before image shows up.
