Thank you ;-)

Ads show only after unlock and you have 40% of chance that it appears ...

really like it, simple and awesome!

if you can find a way to disable volume button to wake the phone, when you disable the default lock will be GREAT!

Another suggestion, if you can put time before the hidden lock, Lock the phone instead of always locking when the screen off. put time after 1 mins or 2 or so on.

Thx

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestions...

I can enable the volume control. (Change the volume if you using volume keys)
Good idea, I'll add an option to enable "Hidden Lock" after [X] minutes.

jamaljmys said:

another idea mate

-need option to auto unlock when incoming call, it will be more usable.

- also its need two clicks to unlock, one to select the unlock and make it visible, second for unlock. maybe more pro to make it one click or press and hold for 1 second well be useful.

the best lock method i used since started use android. thank you

cheers

Perfect !
I'll add those requests on my TO DO list ;-)

Thank you

mate
may i suggest you to marriage the AD with to pop-up saying "press on unlock icon to unlock your device" instead of after unlock?? so the user will get the AD when he touch the screen while the device lock, and when he unlock he can go to use home screen without waiting AD close especially when driving car.

if you don't like, forget it. still awesome app.

cheers

Good idea, I can add an option to merge Ad into the lock message...

5.9 MB ram consuming, is it the minimum or could be reduced? the application itself less than 1mb. thinking

it will be the most wanted application. go ahead.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

I don't thing it's possible. A empty application (like hello world) take 4.5 MB in memory...

I would prefer if the volume button disable at all and the only button to wake up the phone is the power. Because, i had experienced where the volume button got pressed accidentally when i put it in my side pocket.

that's my suggestion, others might disagree...
thx

Ok, I understand... I'll try to find a solution.
