Ok, thanks for the comment and suggest :)
[Android Apps and Games] icantdrawanime:
One more bug i think. I have tried to select launcherpro as my default launcher, but every time i go into the settings it shows htc sense as my default launcher. My home button doesnt work properly because of this, once taking me to the htc sense home screen instead of my usual home screen. And now it doesnt seem to take me to the home page of my screen...

If it werent for the bugs, this would be a great app. keep up the good work =)
[Android Apps and Games] *Megatron*:
someone can give me the direct link of the APK file, because obviously in the market do not find it!
[Android Apps and Games] svalaris:
hmm, I can't find it on the market. It doesn't exist anymore?
[Android Apps and Games] kellyrx8:
yea its there i just downloaded it....search for simply lockscreen
[Android Apps and Games] decyfer:
i got the same problem on my nexus one. and when i'm in my launcher pro, the home button seems to be dead and not functioning like it should be.

but it is indeed a very nice lockscreen. just need few improvement here n thr. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Silrocco:
I'm having trouble, I get FCs everytime I try to select it as my default Home. I have tried different options under Settings, disabling and unabling different options and still get FC. :(

I have a Vibrant, Rooted and Stock ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] ZetaTre:
Great app

Congrats on this!!!! It's a great app. After playing with it for a couple hrs, here's what I've found out.

1) I followed the instruction on how to disable the home button: it does disable the "unlock with home", but the Home button doesn't work as I've configured in ADW (It's supposed to pull up the sense-like preview)

2) It looks like every time I power-off the phone I'll have to restart the app or it reverts back to the stock lockscreen

3) When using Pandora to play music it doesn't show the Audio control buttons

4) Here's another bug which I'm not sure how to call. It's easier if you try it, and I would guess it's related to the point #1.

- Put back ADW (or the original N1) as stock starter

- Push the Home button and do whatever

- Now either lock the phone or let it lock by itself

- Try to unlock it and you'll notice that the stock lockscreen is back (you'll also notice that the trackball will not unlock)

- The phone will actually light up with the stock lockscreen, then light off and if you unlock it again, your lockscreen will come up and it will continue until you press the Home button again

Hope this helps!!!
[Android Apps and Games] ummaner:
hi Folks,

I'm on a Galaxy S with Eclair and Samset 1.9f.

In the option, i can choose ADW Launcher as my default screen. It always switch back to Default Launcher.

When i lockscreen manually with the power button, it lockscreen with the default Samsung Lockscreen. Then it goes black again with simply lockscreen like 1sec on. And when Home again, simplylockscreen crash...

When i press the button to force replace the default lockscreen on the Options/Menu screen of Simply Lockscreen, simply lockscreen crash and I have to force close.

The only way i can have simply lockscreen up is waiting for the GalaxyS to sleep mode automaticaly.

When i push the vibrant button and back the ring button, simply lock screen always crash.

Good luck and thank you for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
works well on my nexus, says location not available for some reason. (I use genie and it shows the location automatically)

Note: Trackball or menu unlock in CM6 does not work.
[Android Apps and Games] Wadester:
Works well on EVO 4G 2.2! Love the transparency so I can see the wallpaper. Great job! Looking forward to more features.
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
It sticks until the settings for simply lockscreen are opened again. So if you change any settings you haveto change the default launcher again.

Err... I'm having a problem after I made Simply Lockscreen the default home... when i try to close apps, I have to press "home" twice! Can you please fix that :D

This app keeps getting better and better!

It works perfect on my IncS and i love the new Honeycombe theme.
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
Yes :)
[Android Apps and Games] velis19:
im loving the app! except the bugs. tapping the screen repeatedly while locked up near the notifications or just above the slider closes the screen.

and kill screen keeps popping up alot fc the lockscreen and kicking back to main.

htc desire

have set simply lockscreen as default and done all proper settings

for adw launcher.

iron these bugs out and you got a GREAT app!

all the best
[Android Apps and Games] xoi99:
its look nice must try it
[Android Apps and Games] jkolner:
In the new version i have the "double tap action" for going back to homescreen.

I uninstaled and then installed again, but its still there.
[Android Apps and Games] stemnin:
Love it, tried an alternative but it was a bit buggier on my Legend (2.2 stock) and using LauncherPro+. Trying to choose a wallpaper fc's it, but that doesn't bother me. Love the force!
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
Download OI File Manager....

And thanks, i love the force too :D
[Android Apps and Games] stemnin:
Yeah.. that's what I get for skimming the descriptions, works perfectly.
[Android Apps and Games] banttu:
I can't get the force unlock to work, or am I doing something wrong?

I'd really like to try it.
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
The force dont work on a few of devices and also dont work correctly with Gingerbread yet
[Android Apps and Games] banttu:
Ok, that explains. I'll wait for 2,3 support.
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
Well as many have asked me to translate the app into other languages, let's do it to all to be as accurate as possible.

We begin by description on the Android Market.

[Android Apps and Games] elesjuan:
I Have to comment, this is the best lock screen I've seen for the android platform yet.

However, I do have one issue still with the home button. Attempted to search the thread before posting this, but didn't want to read 500 posts with the words 'home button' contained.

My wish is that you disable, completely all the 'home keys' which include on my device the home button, menu, back, and find. Most of those are not an issue, and the "fix" (which isn't really a fix) does sort of work... However when you press and hold the home button your 8 recent tasks come up. That won't work for me, because those tasks end up being launched and bypassing the lock screen.

Like the application, but gonna have to hold off for future progress. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
Simply Lockscreen updated!

Wanted to know whether this app will prevent the phone from sleeping which effectively translates into battery drain ??
[Android Apps and Games] darenihill:
When the force works for Gingerbread i'll be back
[Android Apps and Games] angus1357:
App is getting WAY better, so I gave it another shot. Home button was doing wacky stuff. I had to hit it twice to get back to the Home screen, and since it was hit twice it always brought up the previews for my home screens. Also I noticed the time it took from when I hit the home button to when something happened was ridiculous laggy. I use ADW.
[Android Apps and Games] Vanilla Tarantino:
I just discovered this app a few days ago, and so far I like it a lot. Unfortunately, the last update seems to have broken the weather. It can find my location, but the line for weather is blank. (I have, of course, made sure that the weather checkbox IS checked.)
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
It seems that the provider is migrating the servers, in a few days will be solved :)

Custom backgrounds resolution?

What's the Custom backgrounds resolution?

I would like to fit screen. :(

I'm using HTC Aria (480x320)

Anyone knows? :confused:

Sorry for my poor English.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
480x320 on .PNG format :)
[Android Apps and Games] sacredsoul:
Hmm is there anyway to disable the background tint?
[Android Apps and Games] Xda F:
Thanks for the reply. :)

This background is 480x320(320x480) on .PNG format.

But... :(
[Android Apps and Games] thunder2132:
Very cool idea, but The Force didn't work on my Evo, and my home button stopped working properly. At first I thought maybe I'd selected the wrong default launcher, but it seemed pretty clear that I was supposed to select the Simply Lockscreen option. When that didn't work I selected LPP, but still ended up having to uninstall the program to get it to work.
[Android Apps and Games] gascomm:
just found and installed on HTC Desire with SimplyClean addon ... selecting custom background forces close & i'm unable to get the txt/email/call notifications to show but i'm loving the unlock bar graphic and clock so it stays ;) also appears to be causing odd events with the home button but nothing too destructive.

big thank you to the dev & looking forward to future updates
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
Use a 100% transparent PNG

@Xda F I'll try this on my phone and I will comment

@thunder2132 the Force dont work on all devices yet

@gascomm this feature requires to download "OI File Manager"
[Android Apps and Games] svtfmook:
installed it, liked it. had it installed for an hour. pocket dialed one person, pocket texted a mass text to a bunch of people.

uninstalled it.

is there a way to disable the menu button unlock?
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
You unistalled it because?? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
It is likely that density of the screen, you need them with smaller resolution, try reducing the image to 40% size :)
[Android Apps and Games] svtfmook:
the menu button unlocking the screen causing pocket dials and texts. didn't see a way to disable menu button unlock or to use the stock lock screen instead.
[Android Apps and Games] lamt:
I just installed this app, and it's great, I can't seem to get the weather to show on the lock screen... I have it enabled, and whne I turn the phone on, it saids "loading", but nothing shows.

I've read all 43 pages and didn't see a solution listed.
[Android Apps and Games] Xda F:
Solved.

I tried reducing the image to 50% size. :D

Thanks!!

And a larger image,

I hope that problem will be corrected in future. :)

Sorry for my poor English.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] imann:
Love the lockscreen. I just have one problem, the music controls don't seem to work right. If I already have the music player running, it will go backward or forward songs, it will also pause the song. The problem comes in when I try to resume the song. It doesn't start back up. I also am not able to push the play button to start a new random session like the screen says.

Just a question, Are Pandora controls coming in the future?
[Android Apps and Games] MongooseHelix:
I'll start by saying that I'm very impressed with the look, feel, and functionality of this app. My phone is a HTC Droid Eris running CM7 Gingerbread and using Zeam as my Launcher. Most everything is working well including unlocking using "the force" but there are a couple things that are fairly important to me to have fixed:

activate/run after reboot (didn't start up on boot for me)

disallow home button to bypass lock screen (I'm using Zeam Launcher)

reduce the memory usage...currently 12.7MB with peak as high as 21MB. Some examples of other running apps for comparison: Bob Clock widget-2.2MB, Terminal Emulator-5.2MB, Enhanced Email-9.6MB, Zeam Launcher-7.4MB, DialerOne-5.3MB, Swype-6.0MB)

I also noticed a few little things that would be nice to have changed but not crucial:

display toast for sound setting only after finger is released to avoid multiple messages

disable weather/gps checks when not selected in prefs(often shows "Loading..." when lockscreen comes up even though weather option isn't checked)

hide alarm icon if no active alarm

have the battery % displayed on the screen instead of needing to enable the custom statusbar
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
@MongooseHelix

I tried "Zeam Launcher" and not is on the list because it is a function to implement the launcher (the Home key) that do not have well-implemented, I will contact the developer to inform of this.

Regarding the use of memory as long as I optimize all I can with each update

Everything else I'll remember ;)

Thanks for a very good feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] MongooseHelix:
Thanks for the response and all the work you've put into the app. I also wanted to mention that the clock usually lags a bit behind the actual time(< 1 min) but just noticed it was off by about 7 minutes. I know a few others had mentioned it already but figured I'd add how it was working for me.

i will try this...
[Android Apps and Games] alphadeeto:
just downloaded and tried it..

the lockscreen looks good (when it works), and the Force is really awesome. lol

however, when I turn off the screen and turn it on again, sometimes the lockscreen doesn't appear or the screen just goes blank for a while (approx. 30secs) until the lockscreen appears. sometimes I get FC message too.

I'm using HTC HD2 with Coredroid ROM Froyo 2.2 with Sense from Desire HD and using LauncherPro for the launcher app..
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
Many times this can occur because of device performance or low memory
[Android Apps and Games] waffle_:
All this does is Force Closes.
[Android Apps and Games] alphadeeto:
ummm.. also, when I shutdown this lockscreen, how do I enable the original lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
Simply Lockscreen settings -> menu button -> shutdown

@waffle_ any other info?? :confused:

Version 2.7.1 released:

-Zeam Launcher support for Home button
[Android Apps and Games] schneidebrett:
Hm, okay.

So installed it and now all i get is a black screen and no way to get to the Launcher oder Application Menu to uninstall.

Using CM7 Port for LG P500 (2.3.3)

Would be nice to get to know the exact App name so i can uninstal with ADB...
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
Oh, what is strange :confused:

App name: org.firezenk.simplylock

Hope it help :)
[Android Apps and Games] schneidebrett:
Yep thanks, found it :D

Everything's ok now. Will give it another try :P
[Android Apps and Games] FireZenk:
Fixed FC for middle & small resolutions, please update ;)
[Android Apps and Games] stony2k:
Erhm.. do you really think a HTC Desire HD has no proximity sensor? ;)

Maybe it doesn't work on 2.3.3 correct yes. But I can do any betatests if you want :)

PS: Your new version works great, but found some issues:

- new calendar view is a bit laggy (no, my DHD runs like hell without lag ^^)

- when in lockscreen and I do nothing, it doesn't go to sleep again. I have manuell to push the sleep button
[Android Apps and Games] Mattuhh:
This is great, it looks awesome and I am loving the force unlock, I'm having 2 problems though. Main one is with the music player part of the lock screen.

I'm using the standard music player on my Galaxy S (2.2.1) and the play button doesn't play my music, If I'm already playing music I can fast forward or rewind fine, but the play button doesn't tell me I'm playing music, and if I click it it stops the current music playing, and when I press it again to start the music again it doesn't play anything.

The second isn't really a problem, but when I've unlocked the screen, every time I press the home button it reloads the screen like I am selecting the launcher. I have used the option to disable the home button from lock screen so I guess it is just selecting touch wiz every time I press the home button, but like I said, not really A problem. Other than that, all seem's to be working great.

One thing I would like to see is being able to select my messages to open straight into the message like the standard lock screen with the puzzle piece.

This now works on my 2.3.3, there is one small problem though.

When I lock my phone and then unlock it, it will go to the homescreen for 3 seconds and then go to the lockscreen. How do I fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] veveko:
Very nice app, big up to the dev!

Working great on my I9000 (Doc Rom XWJS8, Launcher Pro Plus, Speedmod kernel)

Just a little question: Is it possible to disable the "Open Calendar" toggle in the bottom of SL?
[Android Apps and Games] darenihill:
Liking the update to support the force on Gingerbread. Now I just wish you could choose and crop you selected background like you do to set a wallpaper

[Android Apps and Games] gsu_golfer:
Is it possible to put your own widgets on the lock screen at all?

EDIT:

Also, how do I modify the "custom status bar"? I can see the battery display, but the right side says "Not Available"

EDIT2:

The mail notification isn't working for me, either on my account with the native app or my gmail account.

EDIT3:

How do I set weather location? it's not showing up.

EDIT4:

When I press the home button on the lockscreen, it takes me straight home without unlocking. How do I prevent this?

I have a Droid PRO with 2.2.1
[Android Apps and Games] veveko:
Thank you for your answer mate! :)
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
Answer to question in edit 4: First, simply unlock has to be set as your default home. Clear defaults on whatever your homescreen is, then press the home key and select simply unlock and check set as default. Then, in simply unlocks settings, choose what your normal home app is. Should work for you.

Sent from my Epic 4g thats perfect in stock form.
[Android Apps and Games] gsu_golfer:
I've done that now, and it solves the problem. However, it essentially disables my homescreen all of the time. When I press the home button in Launcher Pro, I stay on my current screen.

Also, I was using the home button (when on the homescreen) to show/hide the status bar, which is not able to be performed either. Is this functionality lost (not a big deal if so), or am I doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] _ice_:
Thanks!!! Works nice.. weather is still a no go :'(
[Android Apps and Games] _ice_:
but binding the lockscreen as default home just defeats the functionality of a launcher's button function....

IE: I use all the screens, and usually to get back to home screen I push home (I have home button binded to go to default screen in launcher pro)

if I bind the lockscreen it simply doesn't do anything when I push home (while device is unlocked)

basically it just a way to disable home button on the lockscreen is to set the lockscreen as default home... is there a way to disable the home button unlock with out binding the lockscreen as default?
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
I followed the steps i advised, and it works fine for me. You set it as default so that you cant unlock with home button, but once its unlocked, the home button should function normally. It might be a compatability problem with your phone.

[Android Apps and Games] ben0058:

[Android Apps and Games] jonalexgalaxy:
I have a lock problem....

I assume the force works with the light detector... Problem is, i whip the phone out of my pocket, hit the unlock button, and the phone opens on the home screen. Half a second later Simply Lockscreen opens and closes before it even loads.

If i leave it out of my pocket, facing up, i dont have this problem.

Suggestion?

EDIT: Also, the lockscreen is off center.. as in it starts 1cm from the top of the screen, and some of the functions (the bottom of the text icon and pretty much the whole email icon) is cut off at the bottom.

One last thing... JEDI MODE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] twitchyone:
sweet great app
[Android Apps and Games] Shadewalkerz:
My friends think I'm a Jedi. Thanks :D

But one question; could you implement a root-using method like WidgetLocker? That would kill the 5 seconds problem as well as the Home helper app.
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
Just use the app No lock. It disables the stock lockscreen, so only this app shows up.
