[APP][4.0+]DroidLock: Dynamic Lockscreen & TimePin Replacement

[Chirag_Galani]

DroidLock is a security application that sets your lock screen PIN code to the current time/date/battery resulting in an ever changing PIN that can not be shoulder surfed.


FEATURES

• Time Pin
  1. 12H Time: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 0123
  2. 24H Time: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 1323
  3. Offset Minutes to add or subtract to the current time: Offset =10 and 12H: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 0133
  4. Custom Offset Minutes Value
• Date Pin
  1. International Format (DD/MM): PIN will be 0405 (May 4, 2016)
  2. USA Format (MM/DD): PIN will be 0504 (May 4, 2016)
  3. 2 Digit Year (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY): PIN will be 040516 (International Format) (May 4, 2016)
  4. 4 Digit Year (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY): PIN will be 04052016 (International Format) (May 4, 2016)
• Battery Pin
  1. The current battery percentage is set as your password: Phone Battery %: 52, PIN will be 5252
• Geek Pin (Customized Pin)
  1. The user can choose any of the available components and form a combination and set it as the phone password. See the screenshots for examples. (PIN can be a combination of battery, hours(12H), month, minutes : 52010523)
  
  

ADD-ON TYPES
The following Add-ons to morph the PIN and to further enhance security.

• Double: Doubles the PIN. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 12341234
• Mirror: Mirrors the PIN. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 12344321
• Sum: Adds the digits of the PIN. If the time is 12:34, the PIN will be 1010 as 1+2+3+4.
• Reverse: Reverses the pin. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 4321

The pin then changes dynamically based on the chosen settings and options making it impossible to be predicted. Download this app to lock your phone and dance your way through piggybackers.

Q. Your rescue method is also not working and I'm root user
- Try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2244741

Q. Your rescue method is also not working and I'm a not a root user
- Only option is to do a factory reset or flash your firmware once again

Q. Now I hate you because of your app, I lost my data
- This app is still in beta. You are testing at your own risk. We are trying hard to support majority of the devices. We can't afford own all the devices. We have kept a donation in-app product so that we can spend some money on buying the device and physically test it.

Q. When will you release this app for all?
- Only after we feel that we have supported most of the devices.

Q. How can I help you as a beta tester?
- Use the app for few days and share your experience along with your device name, android version, Stock ROM or custom ROM.

Q. Can I deny the permissions that I granted to the app?
- Why to fall into problem?

Q. What happens if I disable master toggle?
- Just don't do that
- It won't reactivate your old lockscreen style

Q. Does your app drains the battery as it stays in the background?
- Hardly 1%

Q. I want to report some bug or issue.
- Post it here
- A supporting video(at least 720p) would be much helpful so that we can virtually look what's happening

Q. How do I uninstall this app?
- Go to Security - >Device Admin Rights - > Uncheck DroidLock
- Read the message it shows!
- Now you can uninstall or clear data of the app

Q. I want to translate this app.
- We'll let you know about it.
- But let us know if you are interested.

Q. What will I get by testing your app?
- Dynamic PINs which no one can predict

Q. A persistent notification about your app stays and I want to disable it.
- Don't disable it as it is in testing phase. We'll provide some solution to it later on

Q. I uninstalled your app, but my lockscreen type is still PIN style.
- The unlocking PIN will be your master PIN
- You need to physically change it from your settings

Q. Is smartlock working?
- Only one the user says yes http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66788380&postcount=70

Q. I have a Huawei device
- Read this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66757123&postcount=58

Q. I want to know how many times your(Havan Somaiya) device was locked up?
- To be specific, it was 3 times. But I was lucky enough to break the PIN by guesswork. I managed to recollect the last successful PIN I used when master pin was not working.
- Rescue Mode was not deployed during those development days.

Q. I'm locked up and I know what is adb and it is configured with my system
- Adb shows your current unlocking pin
Search for "Op:" in the adb logs

Q. I'm tired of reading all these questions.
- Thanks for reading and I'm thankful to you for testing DroidLock for your device

Q: How can I uninstall this app?
A: Go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and disable DroidLock. You can now uninstall DroidLock normally.

Q: How to dismiss the persistent notification in the status bar?
A:The notification is necessary to ensure DroidLock isn't killed by the system or cleaning apps like Clean Master. For now don't disable the notifications by going to App Info. Reason: On 3 wrong password attempts it will send a notification that 'Pin reset to master Pin'

Q: Locked out of the device and forgot the time/date/battery options selected?
A: Restart the device and enter master pin.

Q: Does the master PIN stays the unlock password even after 1st Unlock?
A: In some devices like Sony Xperia, it takes about 3 minutes for the app to initialize itself and set the unlock password as per the options selected.

Q: I have found a bug. How do I report?
A: Report the bug in detail along with the logs and a video to support your claim.

Q: Can I help you somehow?
A: Yes, of course!
- Read the last question about supported devices and help us know if you have a device where the app doesn't work or has some problems.
- If you could produce a video highlighting all the features of the app, we will make it our default video on play store.

Q: Which are the devices used to test during the development of this app?
A: All Stock UI devices and specific OEMs like
- Nexus Devices
- OnePlus Devices
- Motorola Devices
- Samsung Devices
- Sony Xperia Devices
- Xiaomi Devices
Please let us know if you have tried any other devices and can ensure complete functioning of this app. We'll add it in our list.

Please add support for more complex passwords for master pin such as letters and symbols up to 64 characters long.

Thank you so much!!!

It really doesn't work. Just tried it. Installs fine, but it doesn't reset pin.

It really doesn't work. Just tried it. Installs fine, but it doesn't reset pin.

Would you guys want to test some experimental builds to make it compatible with Android N? If yes please PM me.

 

[ironman38102]

Works fine on Moto G! A really good replacement for TimePin!

Sent from my XT1033 running good ol' Stock ROM

 

[Official_Noob]

Great idea!
Just too bad that here in Vegas at 2PM in broad daylight I can hardly see my pattern lock, never mind a keyboard with numbers etc.

 

[xrevco]

App works fine. Could you make Smart Lock work with this, please? I'm using SONY Xperia Z3 (D6603) on eXistenZ v1.0.5 (Marshmallow).

 

[Johnjobs13]

Tested

Yes I have tested it and it works LIKE A BOSS!
SERIOUSLY, if I was a boss, a CEO, etc, this would top my phone off!
But alas, not yet. At least I have a super awesome app that a whole team of people were kind enough to publish! :victory:

 

[Johnjobs13]

I'm surprised though, why isn't this already followed by at least 1,000 people?

---------- Post added at 05:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

For phones that have a proximity sensor in front, would it be possible to add to the settings of the app an additional feature whether or not the proximity sensor is covered to make it work? An additional security feature for those that want it.

Why just 1,000? We need more than that number

We'll improve DroidLock App as time goes on and try to add the feature suggested by you.
You can check our future roadmap in the OP. We cannot give you any ETAs for suggested features.

Thanks for using DroidLock App :good:

Are you on latest beta version?
Did you try clearing app's data? (First go to Settings->Security->Device Admin Rights->Uncheck DroidLock App and now clear data of the app)

Works awesome, nice job bro

Galaxy S7 edge

 

[nicolahaye]

Downloaded but at work right now so I'll try it tonight (I can't afford to lock myself out of my device during work ). Thanks for this, I've been waiting for an app like that for a while. I'll give feedback when installed and running

Thanks for using DroidLock. Do share your experience with us so that we can understand how many devices are supported by DroidLock and how many of them are not.

 

[htr5]

Can we have an option to enter the md5# of the current time?

 

[phatestcat]

This is an awesome idea, and I'll be testing it on 2 devices and report back.

EDIT: Installed on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 w/stock 5.0, and it works properly. Also survives a reboot.
