Picture Password Lockscreen allows you to unlock your phone by drawing gestures such as points, lines, and circles on your chosen images. It frees users from the traditional and less secure unlock methods because there are close to an infinite number of combination of gestures. It provides an effective layer of protection against the two most common methods of illegal access gaining to a device- brute-force password hacking and shoulder-surfing.

Forget PIN codes or patterns, you can now draw points, lines, and/or circles to unlock your phone.

To setup, select the background image and draw the gestures. To unlock, draw the saved gestures on the lockscreen.

Will this app work on devices with enterprise accounts that require a pin, etc.? I'm guessing no, but I'm hoping it's yes as there aren't any disclaimers.

There is an option to not override the stock Android lockscreen so Picture Password will display after the stock lockscreen. Android requires Secure lockscreen (PIN, passcode etc.) if you have enterprise or VPN set up

Hey, kevdliu, I really like what you have going here. I have a suggestion that will really put this over the top. If you could have a series of pictures cycle while you made gestures, confirming each gesture. Think of a image of a traffic light, it starts with a red light, then you make the first gesture and it goes yellow, and then the second makes it go green unlocking the phone. Anyways, good luck with the app.

forgive me ignorance but how do i install as system app? copy to /system/app and open app from there?

Easy way is to use titanium backup
and convert to system app. Manual way is to copy com.twinblade.picturepassword.apk to system/app and reboot

IDK if this is just me, but I keep having an issue where the image I am drawing on shows up very small in the center of an otherwise black screen. IDK if this might be a Jelly Bean issue (OP's screenshots looked like ICS). In addition, I am running a CM10 nightly, so there could be an issue there. Still, I thought you should be aware of the glitch (I can send screenshots if you want). Awesome to see someone bring this to Android; I am interested to see how it progresses.

Nice! Really like this :)
One thing I'm missing is that I would like to disable it from Tasker..
When I'm at home I don't have any security lock screen..

Thanx!

Question about Installation in System/app

Easy way is to use titanium backup
Manual way is to copy com.twinblade.picturepassword.apk to system/app and reboot

Can't find com.twinblade.picturepassword.apk even with ES Explorer Search.
Can you explain how to do it with TitaniumBackup exactly, must I have a Pro version?

Thanks in advance.

Really nice job, but I have an idea!

Hello. I want to tell app is great, but theres one thing that should(in my opion) added to configuration. I mean, when we run app, we have to set wallpaper, gestures, but theres no option to set backup PIN, and if somebody make a mistake or do something to quick, and didnt set PIN code in preferences may lost control above device :) Let me know, what You think about it! ;)

Looks really good so far!

If those 2 features get added, I will gladly pay for the Pro version:

1. Record a custom unlock pattern with taps, lines and circles (= no limit to just 1 tap, 1 line and 1 circle)
2. Tasker integration to toggle the lockscreen on and off.

Keep up the good work! :good:

    Hey!
    Could you make the app not close on holding back button? For those having HOLD BACK TO KILL activated.
    It's a very usefull setting but it interferes with the PPL and it makes it very easy to bypass the app. It closes the app if BACK is hold on the lockscreen.
    Or if it's an "unsolvable" issue, at least so i'd know this too in order not to keep wishing for it to get fixed some day :)

    von meinem Sammy G. S2 gesendet







    +1 on this HOLD BACK TO KILL issue.



    Also, I was wondering if the "emergency call" option still allows calling any number? It appears to on my device, but I don't have phone service on my device right now.

    I have been trying to fix those problems but these are caused by Android system limitations and may be very difficult to work around.
