I suspect it'll work, actually. When you have package installer locked, only thing which can uninstall apps without password is Play Store.

Because all other apps use package installer.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Curious Boy:
I don't know but launcher somehow has it's own uninstaller. Just see screenshot.(first pic only confirm that my package installer was locked and launcher did not require any things.)

? Screenshot on first pic make package installer force stop.

conflict with rootcloak.

Forget like button :))
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Oops!

Could you send me the apk of the launcher, that I can check how the own uninstaller works? Maybe I can even block the function.

Also tell me your device name.

[Xposed Framework Modules] sathishcoumar:
Dear max,

MaxLock works fine in my phone (both kitkat and lollipop 5.1 tested), with no glitches at all and its perfectly suits for the purpose.

And May I suggest you a feature request, to put a diamond on the crown of this app.

1. profile lock

profile 1 - locks app A, C, F,....

profile 2 -locks app B, D, X,....

with a scheduling feature, based on time and weekdays.

this will greatly automate the lock and unlock of the MaxLock.

Thanks for your good effort, in bringing up this app.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tiktok1:
+1 for a profile lock to enable batch locking or unlocking of a selected group of apps.

Would like to hide the app when locked

A scheduling feature and a proximity feature - such as cell towers would be great to automatically change profiles !

Thanks for a great app

Max, I have tried your Lock on the Asus ZenFone and it works flawlessly. All knocks codes register and unlock like it should. However, like I mentioned, my OnePlus bottom left knock has issues. Am sure its a DPI issue. Can you do something about it?!

Current DPI value on 1+ is 480
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
In UI settings, is your phone recognized as tablet?

Disable that option if yes.

Btw, I am working on the Lockscreen UI, so when I have enough time to finish I will release it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
I wonder how other apps handle showing long app lists..

I want to fix it, not just workaround the problem. Will take a look at it as soon as possible, though ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] clickjack:
Nope. Recognized as a phone. I'll wait for the update. No problemo!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Da_nieeel:
Hello.

I have a problem with the app in my Huawei Asscend y-520, i activated the module on Xposed an i booted my phone and when i open the app everything looks good but i have an only one problem, the app says in the right corner "MaxLock is not active", i booted my phone and i turned on and off the module in xposed but nothing happens, pls help me, the app is so good and i want to use it, i think maybe the problem is because my phone has an OS KIT KAT.

I need somebody tell me if the app doesn't work in 4.4. OS.

THNKS.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Normally, it should just work fine on KK.

Could you send me your Xposed logs after having activated and rebooted? Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] TechnoSparks:
Please try this:

Untick MaxLock in Xposed Installer

Reboot (I recommend standard reboot not soft reboot)

Enable MaxLock

Reboot again

See if it works

If this method works, you might need to do this to all of your other xposed modules as well. Chances are they are having the same problem like MaxLock too.

I noticed this particular behaviour sometimes when I update my ROM to a latest nightly build. And it worked, though a little bit annoying to do it because I have quite a number of xposed modules

KiK messenger for some reason isn't getting locked!

I can't get this working with YouTube Kids app. Works fine with YouTube app, YouTube Kids app just closes after entering in pin. Running KK on my HP Touchpad. Any ideas?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
I will install it tomorrow or thursday, test and report back ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] jdmst77:
Thanks for the quick response. Let me know if you need me to test or confirm anything.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
The reason for the app's closing lies in the weird splashscreen. The app closes itself because another app opened on top, which normally doesn't happen. I have an easy fix though: in the app list, tap on options for YTkids, then activities, then disable <youtube>.SplashScreenActivity.

This fixes the issue, and successfully locks the app when the splash screen finished.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jdmst77:
That explanation makes sense only problem is that I couldn't get it to work. YTK app opens after following the steps but there is no prompt for a pin. Tried disabling YTK app in MaxLock, reboot, enabling YTK app in Max Lock, reboot. Even tried this after disabling SplashScreenActivity:

Untick MaxLock in Xposed Installer

Reboot (I recommend standard reboot not soft reboot)

Enable MaxLock

Reboot again

But no pin prompt when opening YTK app. I also have the YouTube app and YouTube AdAway Xposed module installed and MaxLock enabled for YouTube and YouTube Kids apps. There is a pin prompt on the regular TY app. Am I missing something?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Oops, I see!

It seems you don't have the newest version I have ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] jdmst77:
My Xposed modules were all up to date and so are my apps but after another reboot, it just started working! Thanks for your help. Awesome app!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
That's not what I meant, you don't have the newest unreleased version :D

But still nice to see it works now :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] epeglab:
I have a problem where I start the app, pick a lock method, apps to be locked and then restart the phone(as you's are supposed to)

As I boot into the app the Max lock screen pops up, but then if i press the back button it boots me straight into the application.

I used the knock code on my GS5 running CM12.1. The classic minminlock works but looks too 2010, and does not have different unlock methods.

Am I doing something wrong or is this not compatible with CM12.1.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
I know of that problem, though it doesn't work on all apps for me. You have to be very fast, you need to tap back before you even see the lockscreen. I could fix it, but then you won't be able to return to the last screen anymore after opening the app..

And, it would totally mess up the intent system.

Or do you mean you always can dismiss it? Then send me your Xposed logs, please.
[Xposed Framework Modules] epeglab:
I can dismiss the lock at anytime and it would take me into the application.

This is the first time I've really needed to use the logs so if I do something stupid, just tell me what to do.

I have cleared the log and used maxlock to open the application (mms) through the normal means (using the knock code)

Then I just launched the app, waited for a couple of seconds and then bit back on the hardware button, and it let me through.

Here is the Log : http://www.4shared.com/file/Zld-V1nece/error.html
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Thanks for the logs. Sadly, I can see nothing about it. Could you reboot and tell me if there are any error messages while booting?

And, please use another file hoster next time, 4shared is showing ads although I have AdAway..
[Xposed Framework Modules] epeglab:
I am not one to mess around but here is the log from one boot:

http://pastebin.com/2TUHUEKn

Maybe it will shine some light on this problem.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Thanks!

From http://maxlock.maxr1998.de/content/general/known_problems:

So, that's definitely the reason. It may be you're still using SBv1, but it's likely to have the problem as well.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Totally forgot to mention, the MaxLock website is now on http://maxlock.maxr1998.de, and my personal webpage is at http://maxr1998.de now. Give it a shot if you're interested! ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] epeglab:
Thank you, it works perfectly, however just to let you know that the max lock worked with swipeback2 only when you used the password lock. (like minminlock). Not to take to much of your time but why was that the only unlock method that worked with swipeback2, "does it hook differently" (uneducated on this topic)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Yes. It seems it clashes with hooking of my onBackPressed() method, which is observed so the locked app closes when you press back on the lockscreen.

SwipeBack does the same it seems, so my my hooked method doesn't get called, and the app stays open after closing lockscreen.

MinMinLock doesn't care about pressing back, since it closes the app at first, and launches itself in a new task, which only reopens the old app when you input the right password.

On the other hand, it also doesn't care for backstack, so e.g. coming from settings, opening package installer, you can't get back to settings after uninstalling. Intent extras are ignored, too, means when you open the locked photo app via share menu, you won't see a selector in photo app after unlock.
[Xposed Framework Modules] realista87:
sorry i installed it but it does not start to work. i choose an app to lock, and a locking type, pin.. i set the pin but i continue to see at the uper part of the app " maxlock is not active". WHY?

at the right there a toggle.... it's pusched "right" should be active... instead the full app is inactive.

tested on lenovo k3 note stock rom android 5.0

EDIT: now it does work, but i see that to appluy every change i need a REBOOT, but it's not needed for changes if i enter the app and i need to use the special lick login.

login to maxlock app = no need reboot

enter in other blocked apps = need to reboot to apply changes in ui etc...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Yes, you need to reboot to apply new locked apps atm, though that may change at a later time.

About UI settings not applying, that's a very old bug in Android's SharedPreferences class: "Note: currently this class does not support use across multiple processes. This will be added later." - Yeah, later.
[Xposed Framework Modules] moquiwa:

Didn't see your email since I'm on holidays and can't receive emails atm. Please wait for the new version next week ;)

That's kind of a known issue..

I still haven't found a working way to fix it for all apps, though next version should have some improvements. i wanted to publish it last week, but since I am not at home, I didn't want to risc it.

Every feature is working great on version 6.0.... It's even locking every app I use.... I'm using android 5.1.1... Thanks dev for your continuous support.... But you were telling that you would add a theme support in the new version?..

Btw this version is the stablest I used so far... Previous versions had some or other problem.. But now it's 100% working... Thanks

Sent from my Moto G
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Nice!

Yeah, that was my original idea, but I removed the first implementation again. The Theme engine is a) another thing that eats performance on the lockscreen, and b) I'm not sure what I'd like to theme actually..

Thank you very much for the new version. So far it's working very stable on android 4.4.2. :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
I am currently testing MaxLock on Marshmallow, and so far, it seems to be working fine; although "Reset I.Mod on screen off" got broken again, and I had quite a few hiccups at first.

EDIT: MaxLock asks for a password everytime you switch the screen, which seriously sucks. I need to look at my activity history code.

MaxLock also has Fingerprint support for two days now, and it's working fine as well.

Expect a new release with a few fixes soon.

[Xposed Framework Modules] case-sensitive:
I just installed maxlock on my nexus 6p (64bit marshmallow, Nov build). Maxlock does lock the apps, however it prevents my from updating/installing apps on the play store --- nothing happens when I click "install". Play store works again after I disable maxlock and reboot.

Thanks for your work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Are you really sure that MaxLock is the issue?

I am using exactly the same combo, and I don't have any issues at all in updating my apps..

Did you lock the Play Store?

Sent from my Nexus 6P eating little fishes in the dark..
[Xposed Framework Modules] case-sensitive:
1) Silly question: How do I log the play store?

2) If you mean "lock the play store": Then yes, at first I did lock it (and I couldn't update/install apps). But here's the fun part: Even after I disable the play store lock in maxlock (but still use maxlock for other apps), when I first fire up the play store I can do that, but when I try to update/install apps I still get the maxlock password login screen, and after I enter the password (even though play store is no longer locked!) I still cannot update/install apps.

3) Extra bonus: There is another app that does not seem to play nicely with maxlock, namely the google calendar. The problem is the exact opposite: maxlock cannot lock the google calendar. I installed another calendar app and I was able to lock that one.

Thanks for your work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
1) No, stupid me! It's a typo, so 2) Yes. When you untick an app, you may need to close it (clean from recents) before it applies the setting. Then it should work.

3) Um, there are so many issues with M atm, that I can't even tell you what I have to fix at first ;D Just wait a few weeks for M itself, Xposed for M and MaxLock on M to get more stable :P
[Xposed Framework Modules] ej8989:

MaxLock stopped working/MaxLock angehalten

After updating from to 6.0, MaxLock crashes upon start of the app.

When I first started it after a reboot I could see the tutorial screen, choose what I want to lock and then it crashed.

My device is a sm-t700 with ironrom 2.1/ Lollipop 5.0.2

Edit: Now, even more is going wrong with it.

Because I choosed to select the recomended apps to lock in the tutorial (settings, xposed, app deinstall and install)

I cant acces xposed or delete maxlock from my device because, everytime I try to launch one of this apps they crash

because of maxlock is crashing.

Any recomendations?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
It'd definitely need your logcat for the crashes..

Sent from my Nexus 6P eating little fishes in the dark..
[Xposed Framework Modules] Medizinmann01:
Here it is. I let catalog record it. First startet a freshly installed maxlock, marked all the 4 options as checked in the tutorial and at last started xposed which did not crash this time. Maxlock is still crashing regardless of it.

If anybody does ask himself how I could start from fresh install, I used sdmaid to restore default settings of maxlock.

[Xposed Framework Modules] waqar.qu:
I was confused about your reply, do you mean to say this app would be able to support the fingerprint lock on a nexus 6p (Marshmallow)? I haven't got the option so I'm assuming you mean in general that Android M supports the fingerprint scanner. See attached.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Yes, you can unlock your apps with fingerprint, though that version isn't released yet.. Sorry for the confusion ;)

There won't be an option actually, it'll just unlock if you have the hardware and have fingerprints enrolled in the Android settings.

Look here to see the feature in action :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Guys, I just released a new test version to the Xposed Repo, please download (you need to switch to beta in "displayed versions" in settings tab of module) and report back. You probably noticed the website is down, so take a look at my GitHub for all the changes.. Currently too tired to list them here, I will just post them on the website when I release the new version to Google Play on Tuesday..

Have a good night! (or evening/morning)
[Xposed Framework Modules] amirfk12:
I tried it on Nexus 6P and it never asked me for a code on the app I was locking! Went back to 6.0 regular, and it worked normally...

The fingerprint sensor on the new version worked well when entering the maxlock app though

Did you reboot after installing the update? I'm also on N6P, and it's working mostly fine.. Which apps had issues exactly?

Sent from my Nexus 6P eating little fishes in the dark..
[Xposed Framework Modules] amirfk12:
Yes, I rebooted. Instapaper is the app. I had originally limited the access to only one part of the program, but when it stopped working I tried enabling everything and it still didn't work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] out386:
When I upgraded to Marshmallow, I updated MaxLock to 6.0, as the older one kept crashing. This new version keeps locking all activities of all locked apps separately. For example, if I unlock Whatsapp, then tap on a chat, I'll have to unlock it again. If I try to send a image, I'll have to unlock again. Is this a bug, or intended?
[Xposed Framework Modules] CAYCE_VII:
Choose what activities of the app to lock
[Xposed Framework Modules] huckky:
With the latest beta, at the unlock screen I can unlock the apps by going into recent apps list and choosing the apps there.

nexus 5 (twrp 2.8.7 + elementalx + cataclysm 6.0 + xposed)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Hm, yes, the limited access to parts of the program may cause issues.. Did you try other apps like Gmail, WhatsApp or Xposed installer?

Yes, it's a known bug. You could download the version 6.0 beta which I published on Xposed repo a few hours ago.

Nope, that's not a real solution atm..

I need to find a fix myself.

For testing new betas btw, I suggest you all to disable I.Mod, and keep enabled all activities for all locked apps. Then I can debug the problem easier and supply you with a fix.

Yep, can reproduce. Will try to fix later.

Sent from my Nexus 6P eating little fishes in the dark..
[Xposed Framework Modules] out386:
Yup, the new version fixed it. Thanks.

The recents issue huckky mentioned is appearing.

Killing MaxLock (with longpress back to kill) at the lockscreen or app crash screen is unlocking the app.

And unlocking an app, switching to another app, then switching back to the unlocked app, causes the app to get locked again. This is not happening for apps that have "fake crash" enabled.
[Xposed Framework Modules] amirfk12:
Ok, so on the old 6.0 version, maxlock was locking all parts of app separately, as someone mentioned recently. Because of that I had deselected all parts but the main app.

On your suggestion, I re-enabled all of the parts, turned off instapaper, just in case, upgraded, rebooted.

On the new version, I enabled both instapaper and gmail, without making any changes, and instapaper worked perfectly (and without the separate parts of the app being locked internally), but gmail did not work. I had to force close it before it started working.

Thank you for the new beta - everything seems to be working perfectly for me now!
[Xposed Framework Modules] SilentSummer:
I disabled 6.0 due to some bugs and just recently updated to 6.0 Beta and re-enabled the app via the top right of the app. However, after several attempted restarts of the phone MaxLock still states that it is not active along the top. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, any chance you can point out what I missed?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Maxr1998:
Is there an error in the logs?
