I have decided after 2 years to explore lock screen apps. Does anyone know of an app that would allow finger print, location unlock, and facial recognition to work? So far all of the lock screen apps I've looked at require those 3 features be turned off.
Thanks.

Is there a way to disable the sliding finger method to unlock? If i set the lock to none it just doesn't use either pin, patter, password or fingerprint, but the sliding finger always gets there.
on some other phones i have seen some apps but from what i have read they are not stable. When i hit the power button i want to go straight to the home screen.
Maybe there is an .apk i can freeze on titanium backup to make this work.
Have you tried NoLock from the market?
NoLock works well but I prefer Widgetsoid. It gives you a toggle for the slide lock, lets you add a button to any homescreen to lock the screen, as well as toggles for most other common activities, including ring, vibrate or silent.
i am testing nolock some people in other forums said they were having stability problems or that it stopped working. so far it works.
No lock 100%, and the widget works well (since I have security finger swipes) to toggle quickly on, or quickly off.
Not what you're looking for, but figured it's worth mentioning for anyone that might be interested: Widgetlocker gives the option to unlock using the back button. The slider seemed to generally work consistently, but the back button is a slight bit quicker and always works for me, which is why I like it. I personally like having a lock screen for just checking the time and such, though I can see why some people may not care to have the lock screen.
I have looked through almost all of the apps on the market, but I have yet to find one (compatible with SGT10.1) that would lock a certain screen.
I am looking for an app that locks my applications, but that would also require a password to get to a certain screen. Say screen #5 is where I would want to put all of my locked apps and widgets and it would require a pw to get to view just that screen.
Does anyone know of an app currently like this on the market?
I don't have a screen lock as I hate typing a PIN, etc everytime just to get to my Home Screen. Plus that way (using Widget Locker) I can actually use the home button to get to the home screen from the lockscreen AND double tap the home button from the lockscreen to get S-voice.
So I installed Smart Lock to lock my e-mail apps and Facebook app. If the phone fell into others hands, those are the apps I'd want locked so that I'd have some time to go change my passwords. I suppose I also should lock the Google Play app since it has my payment info saved so someone could go on an App buying spree.
Any other suggestions of apps I should like? I don't store any sensitive data on the phone and could are less if someone started using my phone to text (hopefully I'd have my account shutdown before they could reak havoc with texting?) All other apps require their own password such as online banking, Google Drive, etc. Anything else?
I know any "smart" hacker can easily get around it. This is just to protect against your average non-techy snoop going through my personal stuff should I leave the phone somewhere.
U can set pin lock for purchases from play store. Check in settings

Lock the settings app. Other wise some can just uninstall the locker app and use your phone uninhibited.
Apologies if this has been posted somewhere else. I've tried searching the forum but it's so vast I've not been able to find an answer.
I have an un-rooted Galaxy S3 which I've just upgraded to Android 4.3. I was hoping to be able to use Dashclock to have lockscreen widgets enabled along with the pattern protection I use. However, it seems that Samsung have disabled the ability to have multiple lockscreens and add other widgets to it.
Is there any way around this without rooting my device, which I really don't want to do?
Thanks in advance.

Here is how, but maybe not the solution that you need
Hi! I found that in order to get lock screen widgets to work on a Galaxy S3 you need to unprotect your lock screen by selecting SWIPE as the security screen lock (pattern, password, or PIN protection will disable third party lock screens.) Once you have set the security screen lock to SWIPE you will see the options for third party lock screen widgets.
It is a real shame that Samsung is restricting us from using third party lock screen widgets while using a true security screen lock option.
I hope that this helps.

Well, can you then tell me how to do it? Because as soon as I use any security screen lock other than swipe, all lock screen widgets options disappear and swiping from the left on the lock screen stops working too, so no widgets can be added. Just in case, I am using the TMO flavor of the Galaxy S3.
Hi, I just installed AppLock with the intention of making as easy as possible the access to the phone (no lockscreen or just swipe to unlock) and use the fingerprint sensor to protect the most sensitive apps and functions in the phone.
I must use a lot the phone with thick globes so its the easiest way to have a quick access to the basic functions: gps, maps, camera...
But it seems Android erases the fingerprint usage when there is not password, pattern or finger lock method in the lockscreen. I dont understand why is this so critic when an unlock pattern /pasword is also required to change the most common unlocking options at the configuration menu.
Is there any option to keep using the fingerprint on apps (as AppLock) with an unlocked phone?
Thanks a lot
