This is the continuation of the MinMinLock module developed by @FatMinMin. All original credits belong to him!

Features
FatMinMin said:
Conventional applock softwares use polling to detect current running process, which drains your battery and slowers your device. This is why I have created MinMinLock. With the help of Xposed framework, MinMinLock uses an event-driven method to detect app launch and lock it, which results in better performance.

Um... That's not easy...
I would have to create another version, since most APIs I am using don't work for GB. Also I don't know if the base code works.
Maybe some time later, but for now I'll focus on the main version.

The app stays unlocked after first opening it. If you want to relock it, you have to close app from recent apps.
So it's not a bug, it's a feature.

I'm using miui android and the apps won't get locked when I close then from recent. Maybe add an select able manual timeout which starts counting as soon as the app is minimized?
Also +1 for auto lock option as soon as screen is turned off.

The lock itself is working great! Thank you very much! I've been looking for a simple app lock.

Hi,

As Max said, the app relocks once it's removed from "Recent Apps" or force closed. There is no time limit or something like that.

Well, he wrote: "The app keeps unlocked for a amount of time, if you want to relock it, you have to close app from recent apps.

As i read it it says it get's locked after some time but i you want to immediately lock it then remove it from recents. That's why i asked.

No, @devotek is right, it is only locked again when closing the process, the timeout is another thing:
When launching an app, the app gets force closed by module and the lock activity gets launched, so after entering password the process is restarted. Now the timeout (some milliseconds) only helps that after relaunching the app it doesn't prompt again for password. Hope you understood.

    We're finally there: MaxLock 7.0-RC1 has just been released to the Beta channel on Google Play!

    Today is exactly (*) one year after I published the previous version, 6.4.1, to the Play Store. Additionally, this is my 2000th post on XDA. Yay!
    I'll do a write-up of the full changelog tomorrow, because I'm just too tired now to do anything anymore. Also, even though this build is pretty polished and all, expect some bugs - not because I didn't test it thoroughly, but because this is Android after all - there will be a weird configuration which I couldn't reproduce breaking the whole functionality ^^
    So, please report any issues through the respective button in-app.
    Thanks for all the support, ideas, donations and motivation. I couldn't do all that without you. So, thanks! :)


    (*) It's past 2am here, so it's technically already the next day/a day later, but psst!

    Why do not you tell us whether you plan to continue supporting your product or not? If so, what are the terms, how long should we wait?

    Really, what's so complicated about reading the last pages?
    I already fixed the bugs that specifically affected support for Nougat, but some parts aren't finished yet. I could push out a release right now, but with usability issues and potential bugs keeping you away from using the app properly. Would you rather have an unfinished app now or wait a little more and get an awesome update?
    Also, your attitude towards myself and my "product", which I basically develop in my free time, without real payment apart from some small donations, doesn't help finishing the update faster..
    I didn't do nothing in the last weeks, if you just took a look at my GitHub you'd see quite some activity..
    People like you though, being impatient, rude and asking for ETAs, decrease my motivation quite heavily, so your impression of me abandoning the app might come true if it continues like that.

    So, please, just stay patient, all I can say you now is that it'll be worth the wait.

    Great app and thanks for it. But I have one question: Is it possible to hide notification that is "content hidden by maxlock"? Because if I want to make something really hidden then I don't want it to be declared as hidden by any other app. So, how to lock any app without any notification on the bar but with notifications as sound and vibration?

    I asked similar question about ten days ago and still waiting for an answer. Am I missing something or just being ignored intentionally?

    Thank you spaceman but as far as I could see dev can answer questions, and he can indicate the situation. According to you I must be patient because I'm using non-Nougat version, right? Is this a rightful approach?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    I think you all have to be equally patient, as Nougat support and the notification feature will likely come out on the same day :D
    And no, I didn't intentionally ignore you, I read your request (as I read all requests and messages in here), but I was too busy to reply at that moment (likely because that "about 10 days ago" was 11 days ago, which was my birthday..), and it kind of got lost in between the other posts.

    Also, that request is actually pretty old, as I have it on my to-do list for months already (see proof in attachments), so fear not, it'll likely be included in the next version.
    Cheers!

    So, I'm happy to finally announce that RC5 is now available on the Play Store! I'll push it to Xposed repo later today if everything works smoothly. Thanks for the patience!
