Hi there,
I was wondering If anyone out there knows of an apps to locks the phone. Im new on this and what I'm looking for is something to replace the unlock swipe screen that came with the phone. I want something like a numeric keypad as a lock / unlock application.
Samsung Vibrant
thanks
Do you want a different option for a pattern lock?
I searched and didn't find anything. My brother has a numeric lock for his Nexus, but that's a CM feature.
I don't think they're out yet. If you find one in the market chances they won't work because of TouchWiz and you would have to be rooted.
Thanks for your quick response to my question.I am kind of new on this and yes what I want is a numeric keypad instead of a pattern.
once again thank you !!
Hello,
Is there any Developer that can create a app that will work like this:
- Unlock your screen
- Now it asks for a password (Own choose able number password)
Sorry, I got bad English but my point is clear right?

You'll actually find that a pattern at a numeric PIN are essentially the same thing... Just imagine the circle on the top left is a '1', then the one on the bottom right is a '9' - all the other numbers can be imagined using the standard left to right, top to bottom sequence, adding a value of 1 to the previous number to get the new number (I know it sounds complicated, but it's actually quite easy)
Of course, there is no '0', which can really throw you, but you'll get used to it.
Yes, before you say it, I know, you can't use the same virtual number twice in the same code, but I tend not to in my PIN numbers anyway, so for me, it's a moot point... Although I totally understand your concern.
You'll also find the action of dragging your finger through virtual numbers, in a continual sequence is actually quicker than lifting and tapping them individually - hence the advent of such text entering apps like; Swype, Slide It, etc.
Anyway, my point being, you probably won't get too much support on this.
...you're right, I'm NOT a developer - I probably shouldn't have read this...
oh snap, i'm not a developer and i'm reading :O
btw. pattern is OK, better than stupid PIN access.
I Love one thing about iphones..
their lockscreens, not the lockscreen but the pincode idea they have.
i don't like typing my password in and pressing OK it takes too long, i'm just trying to unlock my phone...
The Android Style one where you slide across the dots is okay, but It gives away my password and all my friends know my pass lock thing lol
Is there any way to get the same iphone thing??
Use CM7 and check the quick unlock function in the lockscreen settings in the CM settings?

nah I dont like CM7... not yet atleast.
Also i want it just like the iphone thing like.. only 4 numbers, i dont want my password being 400 numbers that i'll forget a sec after i type em down.
Does anyone remember the old g1 or the first mt3g phones how they had that lock screen it was a square and you had to press menu to unlock it? You know old school androids. Well I'm looking for one to put on here on my mt4g but I cant locate one. Is there even a mod developed for that to be possible?
Thanks in advanced!
..... Mr. Hammy ......
you aren't going to find anything like that style unless you use minimalistic text on widget locker to give something of that look and turn on menu unlock so menu will unlock the phone. but there is a reason why they changed to a real lock screen, the android 1.5 lock screen was bad. just being able to press menu caused alot of accidental unlocks and pocket dials.
Hmm I see well that's quite disappointing. I like the look of that. Reminds me of the old days when it only took 3 swipes to reach the end of the entire app library lol.
Well if anyone sees anything like that or makes one please send that my way?!
Thanks for your responce btw.
.... Mr. Hammy ....
This is most likely one of those "simple problem, complex fix" kind of questions.
On the Android Pin Lock screen, after entering the 4 digit number you have to hit OK before it unlocks. I want to remove this need. If the number I enter is correct, I do not want to have to hit OK to unlock the device. I'm not above doing some tinkering with my phone, but wouldn't know where to start. Maybe there's even an existing mod to do it? I can't be the only one who finds it annoying.
Edit: My phone is the Samsung Vibrant T959. I use 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROMs.
I know that there are other lockscreen apps, but I do not want to use any and want to stick with the stock Android one.
TL;DR - How do you remove/bypass the need for OK press on the Pin Lock?
I have the same issue with my rooted Droid Bionic 4G. Custom ROM's like Cyanogenmod 7 have this fixed in their versions...anyone have the answer?
