Void Lock
Free AppAbout Void Lock
**IMPORTANT**
Market Bug. Pressing Open from Market app will say the app is not installed, but it is installed properly. Find it in the app drawer.
If you have any questions or problems with Void Lock, send me an email. There's an option in settings for that.
I can not respond to problems written in the market comments.
------
A gesture lockscreen replacement that offers both convenience and security.
Imagine this scenario:
A guy picks up your phone.
What's the first thing he'll do? Turn it on of course.
He presses the power button... no response. Presses a couple other buttons and touches the screen... no response.
What's the first thing he'll think of? Phone's Off. Battery's Dead.
It wouldn't occur to him that the phone is actually ON, but pretending its off.
Features:
-Two methods of unlocking
--Gesture Mode
--Key Combinations
Both offering an incredible amount of security
-App launching from lockscreen
You're able to create gestures for ANY app and launch it from the lockscreen. Please be advised that if you use simple gestures for these, it places your device at risk more
-Activate Settings from lockscreen
Need to turn phone to vibrate? Normal lockscreens requires you to unlock the phone, then unlock the lockscreen, then pull down the status bar to press Volume. Now, just do a volume down gesture, its safer too
-MugShot
For Android 2.3+ devices, there is front camera support to take pictures after a certain amount of failed attempts at unlocking
Issues:
-Certain devices will have their screens turned off if Display brightness is too low. The Setup screen will try to take care of that. So read the instructions, and email me if anything.
I should probably address the issues that some users are having with uninstalling. Void Lock can not be uninstalled after you have set it as a Device Admin. To uninstall, go to Settings, then find Security, find Device Adminstrator, and disable it.
Now, if there's any questions or suggestions, email me
This version is free, but still the full version. Differs from the paid version because of the ads, but DO NOT WORRY, ads will only appear after a successful Unlock and only once every 2 hours.
Sorry, but... I need to eat too. However, I don't want anyone to miss out on the lockscreen because of price so at least now there's an alternative way to get the lock?

This is a great app, works great especially for a beta. If you have problems with set up, read the directions! I would like to see the set up buttons look like actual buttons rather than pressable words.

would get a better rating if the hard keys didnt light up that kinda gives it away, other than that it is a very good app

If I could give a million stars I would! This app saved me when Evo power button went out. ONLY app to actually unlock WITHOUT using power button!!

I love the concept, but the execution is lacking. I waited for the "improved" setup process, and ran it just now, and found myself stuck in the "setup key combination" screen, unable to escape (and yes, I WAS entering the combination a second time, as the instructions say.) Was only able to get out by using my ROM's ability to cause a FC on demand. Verbiage on the setup screens and help is not clear, and simple improvements like a "done" button on the key combination setup screen would help a lot!

Great concept, best one since pattern unlock! But like everyone mentioned here, there are still a few wrinkles to iron out. 1- After installing, cannot open from the market button. It says not present. 2- Instruction need to be a little clearer, had to do it a few times till I got it. 3- Pattern lock went on top of this app, reboot to solve. 4- On my GSM Nexus S, the capacitive button still on even when the settings is checked. Other than those, it's a great start and I'll start feeding the developer once these issues are resolved.

I really love the idea of this app! However, as most others said, it could use a little work.. Sometimes it works fantastic on my Droid charge. Other times, the light on my hard-buttons come on, but the screen still performs as it should. Other times I press unlock, the puzzle screen is present, then Void Lock is underneath. Also, the setup is a little confusing, but can be eventually figured out. Hopefully the separate app icons can be combined to one in the future. All in all, definitely a great app!

Setting the "button configure" is your backup way to unlock your phone if the program doesn't recognize your unlock gesture (which it wont because the sensitivity is to high to start, but you can change it) so pick something simple like press the Volume Down button 3 times the combo should say 25 25 25. So when the phone looks broke just push the Volume Down 3 times give it a sec and it will start up. IF YOU ARE GOING TO LOCK YOUR PHONE MAKE SURE YOU PICK A COMBO YOU CAN REMEMBER!!

Traumatically crap specific individual locks are meant to be persuasive and fundamental to make the function work. Unfortunately towards my device the application has force-close and when selected to adjust and alter the brightness my devices screen somehow turns off. 2 stars.

What a horrible app! I couldn't unlock the screen, in fact my screen wouldn't even show up! I had to restart my phone multiple times and race to get rid of this app before it started up and locked me out. Such a troublesome, worthless app. Don't get it.

Our teachers always ask us to switch off our phone and put it on our desk while in class, they seriously sometimes check it.(that will have an effect on phone battery isnt it). Tadah!! I have found a way to fool them. Thanks a lot developer.
