[APP][XPOSED] MaxLock, an AppLock alternative

[Maxr1998]

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

Features

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.

Visit MaxLock website!

• Multiple lock types: Password, PIN, Knock code
• SHA-256-encrypted passwords
• Nice design
• Many UI personalization options
• Fake die: app force closes on start, click on "Report" in dialog, then enter "start"
• Compatibility from Android™ JellyBean to Lollipop

Tips and special features are located in About screen in-app

@Maxr1998 any chance of gingerbread support plz?

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.

The app keeps unlocked for a amount of time, if you want to relock it, you have to close app from recent apps.
So it's not a bug, it's a feature.

In future we have option for this?? E.g relock app on every opening and also with screenoff option??

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 max

Please consider adding a master switch.
Also there are some problems , for example i want to send photos via viber and the password field pops up , when i type it and click ok it starts viber over and doesnt start its gallery for choosing photos , appreciate your work.
Thanks

+1 for this request.

What is the time it takes to relock in current version please?

+1 for this request.

As Max said, the app relocks once it's removed from "Recent Apps" or force closed. There is no time limit or anything like that... the process stops and the app gets locked. It has been like this since the first version.

Hi,

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.
