Actually I don't use it right know because Im on MIUI and it has handy inbuild app lock tool :sneaky: But I remember I was using it some time ago and it met my requirements. I dont remember anything like "app crash imitation" though...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kontex:
You can use the non "root"/Xposed/LSposed MaxLock implementation. Install the app but do not activate it in LSposed/Xposed. It is running well with Android 11 on an Xiaomi Mi phone.
[Xposed Framework Modules] The Analog Kid:
I've been using Xposed MaxLock for longtime (thanks) and now that I decided to try the no Xposed version on a non rooted device, I noticed MaxLock actually does not relock itself if you close the app without dismiss it from recents, so if you re-open the app from recents, it opens without restriction at the same place where you leave. A security breach I guess, that calls for some revision. Probably the app should always close itself when you leave.

On the other hand, I noticed that device after device, I had to install two or tree different locking apps for things that I want to remain private: photos, videos, documents, notes... also, the possibility to change app icon in order to disguise would be another welcome feature. With all of those integrated into MaxlLock, it would be the versatile, all in one privacy app that everyone must have.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lord Sithek:
This app isnt maintainted anymore Im afraid.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mario0318:
Which really sucks some heavy major moosetail because there was at one point some hope in @Maxr1998 redesigning the app or at least showing some interest in continuing development. 😩😫😭☠️

Another thing about the non-root vs root implementation, with root you get the awesomeness of setting specific app elements to lock. So you could have the capability of a truly guest user friendly device without having to set a guest profile much less switch to it. Having say the Photos app open normally and navigate around except for Settings, or Play Store allowing navigation within except for the app or family management screens. Very handy stuff.

Unfortunately the non-root method uses Accessibility service and no xposed framework hooks which will leave you with just the one option for locking apps.

I've seriously considered getting my hands dirty with xposed modding and app development just to develop this mod but I'm so far removed from the basic knowhow of where to even begin. 😬
[Xposed Framework Modules] Valiante:
Any alternative recommendations?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lord Sithek:
Well I still use it actually 😄 with admin rights it's still working OK. One app which made good impression on me was Norton App Locker, but I tried it long time ago
[Xposed Framework Modules] Valiante:
Yeah bitdefender also has an integrated app lock. Maybe I'll install it again, couple other decent security features in it too
[Xposed Framework Modules] Fif_:
Is it working for you on Android 11?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lord Sithek:
On some ROMs I was able to run it successfully with Xposed module, on others not. On A12 works only with admin rights for me, which is not that powerful ofc..
[Xposed Framework Modules] elswerky:
No longer works on recent android versions
[Xposed Framework Modules] DarkSJ1998:
It's working for me seamlessly on all my devices using the Device Admin way (running A12.1, A12, A11).

Since even Xposed is dead and Magisk, EdXposed and LSPosed have undergone so much changes, honestly nobody shouldn't even try the Xposed method IMO. Device Admin method works great for me! :cowboy:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lord Sithek:
Yea, it works, but it is enough to kill the app to make it stop working and all security is gone
[Xposed Framework Modules] DarkSJ1998:
Ohh damn, I never thought in that direction & didn't try such things, it's a bummer then if you're looking for some serious protection 😐

I use a 3rd party Call Recorder app & just use MaxLock to spoof as if the app crashed if someone else tries to open it :p
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lord Sithek:
Well, I haven't found any full reliable 3rd app locker since MaxLock stopped working with Xposed for me...😔
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
Same they all can be killed and the "locked" app is accessible. Google should just build individual app locks into android
[Xposed Framework Modules] mario0318:
What do you mean by recent versions, can you be more specific?

For me, it still works fine on A11
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
As an xposed module? We've already covered that as dev admin it can be killed and the app used
[Xposed Framework Modules] elswerky:
Not working with me on one UI 3 android 11
[Xposed Framework Modules] Vipxpert:
If you apply Max lock for all apps. Your phone may possibly bootloop. Happened on Galaxy A50s
[Xposed Framework Modules] nvgdls:
AFAIK, this module still work flawlessly on stock Android 10 with EdXposed and Riru (25.x.x) one, but doesn't really work on LSposed (both riru and zygisk version). But yeah you need to trade it off with your banking apps started to stopped working with EdXposed installed, and finding workaround for this, is not as easy as Lsposed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] gift2uma:
I have a rooted N9600 running A10. But I'm unable to find this app from a trusted source as the Xposed repo link in the OP doesn't work. Actually, I've been trying to access xposed repo for a hot minute now before I came across this app but it never loads... github sends me to xposed repo, the app's website sends you to xposed repo. Lsposed doesn't have it and I don't trust apkpure.

If someone has the apk and won't mind sharing, that would be grand.

Cheers.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ClassickWORLD:
Same issue here. Did you ever find a trusted link?
[Xposed Framework Modules] gift2uma:
I have not. But I did apprehensiously try it via apkpure after running it through virustotal but it did not work, though it has the "pro" embedded in the apk. But upon reading many associated links, it appears A10 isn't supported and that is a bloody shame....
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
I uploaded the APKs of the last few versions as assets to the GitHub releases now, that should help.

The app hasn't been updated in a long time (and probably won't ever be updated again) so the Xposed implementation and possibly other features will not work on newer Android versions.
[Xposed Framework Modules] gift2uma:
Awesome. Cheers.

Downloaded and applied the original but did not work as you predicted, which is unfortunate. As I'm not a big fan of locking my phone. App lock works but the whole access to usage data is worrisome.

Looks like every app these days want access to usage data and other unnecessary permissions.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jotaveh:
Could someone pleeeeeease, make a port for newer android versions? with magisk it will br perfect. this app is just the best.

nothing compares to this. only way i could overcome social media is by using this.

please good soul, help those who still want this app so badly
[Xposed Framework Modules] rfurb:
I feel what you feel, and I fully support your request. There is no other app locker as good as this !
[Xposed Framework Modules] jotaveh:
Well, I'm using the Android 11 version, as it's the last supported version, and I'm also using edXposed, so I can set everything up perfectly and still block everything without any remorse. The freedom is incredible, I would really like someone to make a new port for a new version of Android, since the functionalities of Xposed in it are what make the app so magnificent. Without these functions, it just becomes another standard blocker, which isn't very useful, as it can be easily uninstalled or disabled.

I hope Android 11 has a long life, because I will continue with it until the end of its journey, solely because of this app which literally is a great catalyst for habits for me.

I hope you can achieve it too, buddy!

I'm currently using the Havoc Android 11 version on my Xiaomi Note 7 and it was very much worth it. If you want to try, it's a very popular ROM, and you can find it for your device and maybe follow the same path I did.

I believe I would even pay for this app haha

But that's it,

Big hug!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Arathon:
First thank you for the great module, then I wanted to know if I can use this in combination with Tasker maybe using intents. If yes what intents are available? My scope is to protect some apps only if I'm away from home.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
That's not needed, I guess. I'll add trusted WiFi functionality in one of the next updates..

That would be great however in my case at my parents house I don't have a WiFi connection so I always rely on cell towers or near WiFi.

Thank for the fast reply and for the module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] LolVersatile:
The only version that consistently works for me is 2.1.1 :p

On 3.1.1 (your dropbox version) it constantly crashes flashing a white screen when attempting to open an app that's locked. I've tried clearing cache/data multiple times but still results in the white screen flashing.

I will try to add also NFC and Bluetooth unlock when I have more time, but Tasker integration is a bit more complicated and possibly insecure..you could also use the master switch

[Xposed Framework Modules] TechnoSparks:
Suggestion!

A "master switch" widget would do the trick as well! ;)

Also a "shortcut" to enable or disable the app locking would extremely do as well. As I use "Home Button Launcher", widgets obviously can't be added elsewhere than the home screen

This way I can only enable the lock when my friends request to use the phone! Then disable it when they return it. :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] Vtrendzzy:
The global switch doesn't work properly. After unlocking the global switch, apps still ask for password. Sometimes rebooting also fails.

You should include image cropper while selecting wallpaper.

I even hid the clear button but i wish it was still working. Hide the button but make it work.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
I cannot reproduce your problems with master switch. In fact, because I added a new system, it works perfect for me. Are you sure you're using the latest version?

Also, the images are already cropped to screen size..

I tried the new version. I've been a regular user of this app. The recent updates have drawn my attention to this thread.

Btw I'm asking you to include image cropper so as to know what I'm cropping.

The problems that i reported in my previous post still persist. And one thing if you can make it possible is the knock code ui. I hide everything in that ui but the clear button doesn't work after hiding. Just make it work whilst hidden. ?

[Xposed Framework Modules] sathishcoumar:
Dear friend,

I am using your latest version...

It crashes when I set up knock code and re opens the app after that.

I tried the previous two versions also,

If i set up only Fake crash option and password, it works fine in locking the apps.

But, if use knock code, the ui crashes upon reopening or opening the locked app,s

I tried changing the wall papers and reinstalled the apps and tried all the possiblities,

The crash is related to knock code, it seems.

I dont know if this happens to me only or to others also.

if you wish, I would send you crash log as before.

Thanks in advance...

Such a good app to secure lock the apps.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Yeah, a log would be nice. I don't know why it crashes, don't have this problem

Crash log attached as text file.

Previously, i configured the maxlock with password and fake crash, and it worked fine.

Now, I configured the knock code, then exit the maxlock.

Then opened the maxlock and it crashes.

The log is for the above procedures...

Hope this would give some details atleast.

Thanks in advance.
[Xposed Framework Modules] machokingjim:
+1 if max finds time:fingers-crossed:

awesome update:D

the only thing now is the looping issue

sometimes it loops for more than 5 times on each opening

and for your info the fake die feature does not loop whatsoever

can it be fixed

thank you;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
pushed 3.2:

added PIN locking type

added MasterSwitch shortcut

added about screen

added landscape layout for knockcode

reordered preferences as suggested by [MENTION=5765352]TechnoSparks[/MENTION] ;)

better filter method in appslist

translation updates

fixed crash for some devices (hopefully :P) ([MENTION=6167281]sathishcoumar[/MENTION])

LOTS of fixes

Tip: long clicking knock or pin keys now clears input, too ([MENTION=4950370]Vtrendzzy[/MENTION], [MENTION=5413002]machokingjim[/MENTION])

About looping, I'll look if I can do something.. For me, it only happened with a version some time ago.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sathishcoumar:
Oh great, max.

Just downloaded the update and tested it.

New features are awesome.

However, the crash problem exists in my phone.

(Cleared the data, set knock code, exited the app, opened again, it crashed, again opened the app twice and it crashed)

Log file attached.

Moreover, the fake die, itself is a great security and other like pin, password and knock code are extra security for me.

Thanks for your effort.
[Xposed Framework Modules] TeHashX:
Super app, I like the new pin code, may I suggest to decrease lock screen size? Because it's to big, I have to move fingers a lot on my htc one m8.

Another request, unlock automatically when input correct pin without pressing "ok"

Could be like Dropbox lock

Thanks

This update is stable

According to me this update is stable. Thanks OP.

It maybe just my phone that after unlocking any app that i've locked, the actual app usually takes 4-5 animations to open. It seems funny sometimes. And if i've to change my whatsapp profile picture, I first need to unlock it only then it works. It is okay for me. One thing that you have not implemented is picture cropper but still it's your choice so no arguments there.

You've made me happy and stay unique around my friends because they fail to figure out the knock code UI :D

[Xposed Framework Modules] sathishcoumar:
Dear friend,

just now tested this latest version,

The knock code usage force close i mentioned earlier is now working perfectly.

Thanks a lot Max.

Will test further, and let you know.

This is the only app without residing in the memory all the time.

Memory efficient and battery efficient.

Bad Luck for those who use non-rooted phones.

The only problem I haev now is that in WhatsApp, it loops like mad for like 4 times!

FEATURE REQUEST!

Can we have an option to have a notification to know if the apps are locked or not?

I prefer it being a clearable notification, but a "Persistent notification" option would be great to be implemented as well; for others in need.

Make these as an option, but not enabled as default.

Other than that thanks for reading my noobish requests. :D

SETTINGS ITEM

Enable notifications [ ]
Persisting (ongoing) notification [ ]

The second option should be tickable if "Enable notifications" is enabled
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
The idea is great, but it's not easy to implement.

I could set a notification after unlock, and remove it when activity gets destroyed..but I don't know if this works..

If it is too hard, I suggest for you disagreeing with it. I am okay with that, honest! ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] machokingjim:
everything works great mate:D

except after the lock has been disabled, off course there is no lock screen but the fake die input is requested for those apps for which the feature had been turned on

another thing is the locked apps loop regardless locked or unlocked

shouldn't it be completely suspended after unlocking??

thank you max keep up the awesome work;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] sathishcoumar:
Works fine

The latest version works seemlessly...

Ofcourse, the looping exists only occassionaly, i consider it as added security,

About notification, i guess it weakens the security as i use only fake crash and no body knows that I have security...

Great work max.

For some reason when I open an app that I have chosen to be locked with a PIN it goes right into the app without it having to be put in. Is there anything I could be doing wrong
[Xposed Framework Modules] sathishcoumar:
Just good update.

Previously, the fake die screen was independent of Master Switch.

So with master switch set to off, I used only the fake die.

Now the master switch includes the fake die option also.

Good update Max.

Individual app setting for fake die is awesome.

If possible, password, knock code and pin can also be made individually for each app.

Of course, this itself suffice the need.

Thanks max.
