I think so. It seems to have something to do with more than 2 XsharedPreferences...

Could you send me the name of the apps? I implemented a workaround for apps like this, but I need to add them manually..

If you could send me the Xposed log, that would be great..

Look above..

Here is the Xposed log.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Thanks!

This will be fixed in next release, which will sadly take some time..

Note: excluding this in activity settings won't fix the problem. I have to built it directly into the code..

updated maxlock to 5.2.1 and the boot stuck is gone, weird.

I will post as soon it happen again, thanks OP.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sayash5:
It happens again, seems like a random problem, heres a log.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
I'm pretty sure now it's related to the IMoD preference files, everybody having bootstucks should disable the mod in settings, force close MaxLock, and delete /data/data/de.Maxr1998.xposed.maxlock/shared_prefs/imod*.xml (optionally then reboot)

So is this also related to the 5.0 xposed bug where it gets stuck on boot and does it fix it? I have a couple of modules and it seems Maxlock makes my phone get stuck in bootloop. (CM12.1 Android 5.1.1)

[Xposed Framework Modules] SyCoREAPER:
I don't think this is an Xposed issue. Too many people reporting that it doesn't work on too many different devices.
[Xposed Framework Modules] -iHackerz-:
Oh, sorry for expressing myself wrongly. Yes, I meant that the app doesn't work on a device running lollipop and xposed. This is a fairly large issue for me as this was one of a few modules I used almost daily :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] SyCoREAPER:
No wasn't saying you said it wrong, was letting the developer know/everyone else that in my opinion it isn't an Xposed issue but rather an issue with the module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Yeah, it seems to be more an issue of Xposed and MaxLock. That's why it works always on pre-5.0, and most times (with dalvik fix often) on 5.0+. The reason for it is probably a change from me to Imod, introducing two more preference files (the ones you should delete, though the reappear when opening MaxLock protected apps, have to fix this still..) which Xposed cannot handle anymore. I don't have definitive proof, but I guess it. I already filed a bug report, I hope I get an official answer soon.

About how MaxLock Tasker API and Imod work, I want to create a tutorial on website for that, but not now. I hope [MENTION=5765352]TechnoSparks[/MENTION] does this for me, he is better at wording ;)

You may already know, I am on vacation, so I can only provide limited support for now. Please don't file duplicate issue reports, I know of them and will hopefully fix when I am at home again..

Anyway, did you guys watch Google IO?

I streamed the keynote this evening at the hotel, and I am still very impressed of the new stuff coming soon, maybe also something for MaxLock there too.. :)

[Xposed Framework Modules] 34kk:
I've re-installed the last min-min and i've found that in the list of app that could be blocked, there are 3 apps listed with "phone icon".

I'll try to list them below, but they are written in italian on my phone, so I'll translate them:

1. Dialer

2. Phone

3. phone/sms archive

Instead with your version (also with "show system apps" flagged) there is only Dialer app listed.

If i remember correct, I blocked only the Dialer app with min-min version and the behaviour was that min-min blocks only the tap on "phone icon" and not blocking incoming call interface.

I'll notify you as soon as possible what of the above 3 apps should be blocked with min-min version that fit my need, but the difference of listed apps should be a starting point for you to starting figure out the problem.

Thanks for your awesome works!

EDIT: I've tested min-min version. I can confirm that with only Dialer app flagged, incoming call screen isn't blocked.

Pattern Lock?;

via XDA Premium
[Xposed Framework Modules] mistermojorizin:
My problem with applock apps is that they are too easy to uninstall with any root uninstaller even if they are set to system administrator and then settings app is protected. Or someone could restart my phone in safe mode which disables all apps. How would max lock protect itself from being disabled?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Not at all. That's the only, but serious vulnerability in this app. You only can make it more difficult to get your data, not impossible.

Tips for more safety:

- Use SuperSU pro (not trying to advertise anyone), new apps need pin input for root

- only give su rights after PIN input (again in SuperSU)

- Lock settings app

- Use strong device lock as companion to applock

- maybe safemode can be disabled (with mod or custom rom)

Most effective way is to look after your phone, and keep it near you, after all, applock is mostly to keep away curious friends from looking in your sensitive information casually. If someone really wants your data, he gets it anyway.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Emmanuel U:
Quick suggestion, you should launch the original intent instead of the main activity when password is accepted. Because sometimes a specific activity is meant to be launched but then redirected the main activity after passing through maxlock which is a lil annoying. That and pattern lock are my necessities haha great module though
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
The problem is that my mod doesn't ever see the launch intent. It just hooks the Actvity onCreate class. Pattern lock would be on my to-do list if I had the knowhow..

What is the fake die feature?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
It's a feature originally implemented by FatMinMin which just prevents apps from starting, but I have bigger plans with it. It just isn't ready yet.

Sent using my nexus⁴ running Mahdi 2.7 with Xposed and hells-Core B57 KK
[Xposed Framework Modules] desertmod1:
Alright.

So far the module works good.

You should add an option to hide the module from the app drawer and having to reenter the pass after say 5 minutes.
[Xposed Framework Modules] TechnoSparks:
Hello.

I have a question and a request for this great module! :)

Lets start with the question first, as I am greatly happy with a system-level applock, I found something that made me curious in the early pages of this thread. As mentioned, this module actually kills an app, in order to launch the lock mechanism. This is somewhat effect battery if someone is opening an app in so many times (simply said, to reload the app after unlock). Though I understand there are particularly some other practises to reduce such impact, I am still curious on knowing how it kills an app. Does MaxLock, literally kill an app? Will it impact battery so much? An explanation for a noob person that does not know much about activities etc is very welcomed! :p

A request is that, as I really love to use this "knock code" feature, I also find that it is disturbing for such grid (when unlocking) to become highlighted when tapped. This somehow might give someone a clearer view on how the knock code is executed by the owner of the device if the wallpaper of such device is dark in colour. If possible, would you make the tap response completely removed or make it as an option?

I really love the continuation of the original FatMinMin's module. Kudos to you and FatMinMin. :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
The module uses a simple Activity.finish() method, with no battery impact. The app doesn't try to relaunch in background, so everything is good :D

The other thing is in my todos done :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
pushed 2.1:

added master switch

added better fake die feature: to open app, click on "report" in fc dialog, then enter "start" and click ok to open password entry

option to use dark style

option to hide dividers and knock button highlight

[Xposed Framework Modules] mistermojorizin:
Thanks but for hiding from friends I use completely undetectable apps like shady sms ;). I was looking for an alternative to a lock screen for protecting certain boring apps like work email, bank app, etc
[Xposed Framework Modules] Droidphilev:
Hi Max,

Also this cannot be made that the "fake die" turns up at every switch to an app and/or after every screen off? (still fighting with the fact that an app needs to be closed before MaxLock comes back ;) )

EDIT: is it possible that where users enters "start" now he enters his password or at least make "start" shorter? "s" or something? :)

EDIT2: found a type: the setting for dark theme is called "show system apps" :)

[Xposed Framework Modules] TechnoSparks:
This is however seemed to be very unbenificial based on how MaxLock works! :eek:

MaxLock is running by the xposed daemon and it checks to see if your app is locked or not (see here)

So, I am not sure if I delivered my message correctly, but above all, your request is something that doesn't fit with maxlock functionalities. Whats your point of having apps to "stay unlock until screen is off again"?

I'm sorry, I am confused :silly:
[Xposed Framework Modules] sathishcoumar:
Its the only app that doesn't run at background as a service.... And is event triggered.

However, the dev may consider the instant relock at screen off, as an option, by even running a service at background.

Since, this app would become a must have app for the advanced user, they may accept its service to run always...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
That's sad. I hope I get that damn (sorry) bootstuck fixed until I return from holidays, I'll notify you then.

Thanks, received it. There seem to be lots of error messages to other apps, bd one for MaxLock at a totally strange location, but nothing about WhatsApp. Anyway, could you please retry with only MaxLock activated?

Right. It's a bit senseless...

In a way you're right, but I still think we don't need it, as we have the Tasker API which serves us that functionality, why adding something extra?

At most I'll add an add-on for that as extra app, but I'm still not convinced.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sathishcoumar:
Of course, the same could be accomplished by tasker api.

I myself, configured to ask for passcode, everytime I open the locked app.

This suffice my requirements.

A strong reliable security app, never failed for me till date.

Sadly, I can't upgrade my phone to lollipop, as there is no stable xposed framework available for android 5.1.1.

But, once tested this app with lollipop and it worked without any issues, but i downgraded back to kitkat on Google play services issues...

Sorry for out of topic.

Great works max.

Note: I use to remove the locked apps from the recent app lists, so as to not let the app screenshot visible to others. I do this manually and is easy for me too.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Using here on 5.1.1, and it works!

But, L isn't that stable as KitKat of course..

Hopefully we will see something the time M gets finished ?

Btw, I like to have some off topic, gives more life to the thread :)

1. Sorry for the confusion.. Its like when you want to give it to your friend before the grace period end, pressing power button to off the the screen will instantly lock the app back. No need to wait for the grace period in this particular situation. So they will be frustrated knowing our secrets stay secret :angel:

2. Can you make maxlock kill the parent process that triggered the event if back button pressed?

If your phone is rooted and with xposed installed, no other app is better than maxlock.

However, issues with the app can be resorted with the developers.

Remember, no app lock is 100% safe.

I tried most apps available in the market and settled in this one.

[MENTION=5546572]max1998[/MENTION], I found the app wechat bypasses the security, when an image is shared from gallery to wechat. Some previous versions did not have this leak.
