Hi guys I've been a root user on my Motorola Xoom for about a year now but I've jus landed myself a nexus 4 UK 16gb and after reading a lot on these nexus 4 forums i am still undecided as to what's the best/quickest/easyest way to root my new phone and what the best ROMs are so before I start the whole process in around an hour or so I wanna get your guys opinions please I'm quite tech savvy but still would like it nice and simple please

Will be starting the process at around 7pm GMT

So go crazy n let me have it lol

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cunnie84:
Thanks I did it the old fashioned way anyway that's how I did my Xoom so I that's the way I know lol I was wondering what the best KitKat ROM is tbh my Xoom is getting a little behind due to partition size issues so I'm not up to date on ROMs ATM
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howard bamber:
I'd wait on kitkat until proper roms can be made. We will be getting the real deal very soon so I'd try kernels as stock 4.3 is great but I've noticed a great improvement changing the kernel and it let's you adjust as you know. Oh welcome BTW :thumbup:

Hi All,

I've developed an app called Invisible Lock which is a transparent lock screen through which we can see the screen behind the lock screen.

This is my second android application after Simple Gestures.

This is an invisible lock where in it will block access to the screen but will show the screen behind this lock. We can see everything on screen clearly but we cannot access anything until the pre-configured swipe gesture is drawn. We can select any swipe gesture from available gestures from the app settings page. Currently this app supports 4 gestures to unlock as explained below:

- Swipe Right : Swipe from left side to right side horizontally with any finger on lock screen

- Swipe Left : Swipe from right side to left side horizontally with any finger on lock screen

- Swipe Up : Swipe from down side to up side vertically with any finger on lock screen

- Swipe Down : Swipe from up side to down side vertically with any finger on lock screen

This app will lock the screen 5 seconds after the screen turns off. This will allow you to use touch to wake feature.

It will automatically unlock while incoming call.

Note:

1) Please disable default system lock or any other lock app in order for this Invisible Lock to function properly.

2) Though this app blocks access to the screen, we can still access Notification Bar and hardware buttons (if any) on the device. I am working on this to block them and will try to include in the next version.

I've uploaded it on to play store. Checkout the below link and provide your feedback:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ramesh.security

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invisible Lock Pro

---------------------------

I have published pro version of this app to Play Store. It should be up in couple of hours. The pro version features:

1) Additional gesture (press & hold) has been added for security. Now you need to press & hold on the lock screen after doing the selected gesture to unlock.

2) Enable Sound on Unlock. This can be configured from the settings page. Currently the notification sound will be played when screen is unlocked.

3) Tutorial included on how to use this unlock feature.

Note: Please try my Invisible Lock application before purchasing the Pro version. If it is compatible, then buy this app.

Additional Gestures will be added in next version.

Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ramesh.security.pro

Brilliant

Works well on my Note 2.

I have been looking for exactly this since my first android yrs ago.

It evens shows updates and animations that are happening on the home screen.

Better than the crippled shrunken widget on 4.2-4.3, things like widget locker etc.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] r00t4rd3d:
Interesting, I will have to try this. Dashclock to the homescreen!
[Android Apps and Games] aketo25:
cool it's not working even by disabling everything
[Android Apps and Games] mikeszf:
This is awesome!.

I would love if in a future you could implement pattern lock. I Like using a hidden pattern lock so people don´t even try to solve it, this would make it just perfect :p
[Android Apps and Games] pert_S:

Working quite well on the N5.

[Android Apps and Games] grendude:
Any chance you could make it a 2 finger motion?

I ask because it would be more difficult for a random person to simply unlock my phone with a random touch / swipe.
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
Guys,

I am sorry that I forgot to inform you all that I've set 5 seconds delay before the lock screen applies on the screen. It will lock 5 seconds after the screen turns off. The reason is that most of the people I know are using touch to wake (from googy's kernel) feature. You won't get annoyed by the lock screen if you are using touch to wake.

I have also updated the tested devices list in the second post.
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
Please make sure you wait for 5 seconds after the screen turns off. If it still doesn't work, please reboot the device. Let me know your device model if it still doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
I like your idea but unfortunately my knowledge is not sufficient to implement this kind of feature. I will try to implement it but cannot promise you on this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] Borfas:
don`t work on my galaxy s4 i9505 :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
Can you reboot once and let me know if it still doesn't solve the issue. Also let me know the device model.
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
No, it won't allow you to access but only can see them. You have to unclock to access them.
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
I will try to implement it but cannot promise it due to my limited knowledge. You know this is my second app and I'm still learning.
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
Did you disable system lock or any other lock apps? If not, please disable them.

This app will lock the phone 5 seconds after the screen turns off.
[Android Apps and Games] gopzzz:
great work for a enthusiastic beginner

Hi developer...

Great WORK and a very good apppppppp....:good::good::good:

Downloading to install..

As said every person learns from others input. so best of luck to become a great developer..

I would request for u to increase the security to unlock by adding either/both features like gesture scribble as in PAC man ROM; two or three finger unlock; multi touch pattern; drag an object in pattern and so on... more imaginations need more work!!!!

Any how at last I am not as skilled as u but can be a good critic by installing and using ur apps...

Looking forward to encourage and make u to create excellent and useful apps for android community.

:highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:

One final request: please do give it to us in flashable zip format so that frequent hard/soft reset doesn't remove this moreover it can utilize very less resource, ram and good battery consumption and quick response

[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:

[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
That would defeat the whole purpose of this app. Most of the users including me like the transparent screen as lock. Anyway thanks for the suggestion....I will include it in the TODO list item.
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
I've put 5 seconds delay in the initial version. But don't worry I am going to make this lock screen delay as configurable in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
Thanks for the suggestion. Added it to my TODO list.
[Android Apps and Games] NoodlesFromHell:
Works like a charm on my Sony Xperia S :)
[Android Apps and Games] portscan:
Not secure at all. Someone could figure the swipe out in seconds. I would use this if you can implement pattern security. Automatically unlocking on a call isn't secure either. I haven't tried it, but couldn't someone just call your phone, then answer it, hang up and have your screen unlocked if it were just lying around?
[Android Apps and Games] bjrmd:
I would not be too critical about security since most of us just do slide to unlock. I would view this as more of a way not to cause erroneous screen presses when screen on. It's present implementation probably is fine for most, I never have used any pattern or pin.
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
Let me clear this that I did not consider security aspect while developing this app. As some of the users are talking about the security aspect, I might consider it in the coming versions.

Regarding the auto unlock on call, I implemented this as an alternative unlocking method incase if for any reason the gesture did not work while unlocking the phone. The reason is that i do not want my users to suffer from this.
[Android Apps and Games] mauam:
Simply awesome, thanks dev:)
[Android Apps and Games] Wasabi Ice Cream:
I used a method similar to this on my old iPhone, where all that was needed to unlock the phone was a precise swipe up from the bottom of the screen.

Nobody could figure it out, even after I told them that they just had to swipe up.

I think the reason why it worked so well was that the motion required much more precision, even for a simple upwards swipe.

If something like that were implemented, like sensitivity, or something, I'm sure it'd be much better.
[Android Apps and Games] ba_hamilton:
Could you post an apk. For some reason I cannot download this from the playstore onto my gnex.
[Android Apps and Games] vibecatalin:
Wow, very nice. Working very well. Can you add some lock sounds? Ore maybe in the future custom gestures?

Anyway, very very good. I like it and I intent to use it from now.

[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
Please re-check whether you disabled system lock/any other lock app. Note that this app will lock phone 5 seconds after the screen turns off.

If it still doesn't work, kindly reboot the device as i got info from few users that the issue got solved by rebooting the device.
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
Few users are requesting for apk as they seem to have issues with Play Store or doesn't have device compatibility in Play Store, I will upload the apk tomorrow. But still I encourage the users to try to resolve the issues with Play Store and download from there as you can get updates directly from Play Store whenever I upload new version.
[Android Apps and Games] asdf20:
I've added it to my TODO list.
[Android Apps and Games] BarnOwl:
Works perfect on my Galaxy SIII. But as mentioned here before: It would be a lot more secure if we would be able to set a pattern swipe.........

This works great on my US Sprint Galaxy S4 non-rooted phone. However incompatible with some of my other devices. Would love to have a downloadable zip for my other devices. Also request that if you decide to get rid of the Notification Pull down feature that you keep this version avail. I really like that feature to be able to check sms when screen is locked and change gps and such. Another request is the ability to use this as a baked in feature to some of the roms I am working on? Thanks in advance

Does not kick in. Mako, CM 10.2.
[Android Apps and Games] ariftwister:
Congrats for your 2nd App. It's Good. But I have some suggestions to make it more usable.

* The lock should be instantly activated if the users press power button. The 5 second delay should be only for normal display timeout.

* Reduce the area in which the swipe is done to unlock. Let user choose the region. In this way it is more secure.

I Hope you can make this great app even better.!!

I've pushed the updated version to Play Store and it should be available within couple of hours.

Whats New in v1.1

- Added Lock Screen delay as configurable from the app's setting page. Set it to 0 if you want instant lock.

- Now the app will lock the phone after the device reboot (May not lock the phone immediately on all devices as each device differs in loading the apps into memory after reboot).

If you're a kid I agree, but I am an adult and I have important work emails on my phone that doesn't need to be seen by just anyone. It's a wonderful Idea, but to have this little a security on it is not feasible for someone that needs the security.

Invisible Lock works even when device default lock is enabled

Today, after i update my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 to latest framework, i realized that i need to re-root my device.

So while i was backing up my data to make CF-Auto-Root i realized that your app ( Invisible Lock) is working even my default screen locker is enabled ( i used pin), I can confirm that it works even it the default locker enabled.

Samsung Galaxy S3

NOT ROOTED

Android 4.1.2

I will update after i root it.

Update:

After rooting Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with CF-Auto-Root Invisible Lock still works even the default device lock is working.

I can swype to remove the swype lock screen and i can put my pin, after than i can not click any icon on the screen except open notification panel, and i can adjust the sound then i click on physical + and - buttons and lower or make the sound higher.
