Double press home button to unlock screen

Lol yeah works fine for what i wanted :D
Ive asked the dev for a background transparency slider though. Pure black would be great for me (AMOLED display) and for a shorter timeout option (0.5 secs would be perfect for me :) just to prevent possible pocket wakes and battery waste :)
Respect for the suggestion mate. A quick double tap on home wakes the phone now and i have power/volume wake disabled.
Im not a believer in secure lock screens. They make after-theft apps a bit useles since the average dumb theif throws a locked phone away :D:beer:
 
Good idea. I've sent him a mail as well. I'd like

1. Option to vibrate on (un)lock. I'm just that kind of a person.
2. Option to remove notification bar icon.
3. Shorter screen timeout. 0.5 seconds, well ok. Zero would work for me, in theory :p

Also asked about status on the home key issue, as I'd like to recommend the app to some friends. It appears, in Android 4.0 +, apps have to fake being a home screen in order to catch home button. Maybe he'll implement that, lol.

Apart from home button issue, to secure the app you'll need to:
*) Make sure that notification bar gets hidden correctly on your system.
*) Use ad-free version. Ads probably open your browser and stuff.

To me, what's good with a restricted screen guard is that my SIM is protected from unauthorized use. I can also extend my AGP private key passphrase cache to infinity. :)
For now, I'm just glad to ditch the "swipe to unlock" nonsense. It's emasculating and Apple in my opinion.

Glad you figured a solution that works. :beer:
Cheers
 
If on 4.1 or above you can disable the notification mate :thumbup:
Plus i really like how he implimented the ads. Click it once and it leaves u alone for 5days :)
Il buy pro if he impliments our feature requests :)
