Finger Print App lock - Unlock the lock 100% safe thru your fingers.

App locks allow us to keep the system and user application safe, I would like to take App lock into next leave using camera we made the first finger print app lock for all the devices.

Here you can download the application - ad-free version for xda users

Donation Version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fingerprint.applockpro

Free version GP - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fingerprint.applock

There are few phone in market has Finger print sensors - like One plus 2, Elephone p8000, UMI harmar, etc.. We wanted all the phone user should have a access to finger print sensor without the sensor, so we made the first app which can use the camera and act as a finger print sensor.

We made a simple application which can use the Camera Sensor and Un-lock the locked Apps.

If the Finger print is failed to detect, automatically the Pattern lock or Number lock will open and ask the password.

Unlock the app thru your fingers.
Finger prints are Encrypted by default.
Choose the option which way you want to unlock the apps ? Finger print ? Numbers or Pattern?

Requirement for Finger print - All you need a good Camera with Flash, I believe 8Pix Camera with Flash can do the real job.

We are looking for Video to post over google play store.. help us..

The concept is complete different.. hope you understand we are using Image processing..
The reason of this not being to work out in comparison to the other "Fingerprint Sensors" out there is because fingerprint sensors are meant to be stealth, and be done in stealth. If you are going to on the flash and have the phone scanning for your finger and takes 15 seconds to process the whole finger, by that time people will already know what you are doing and that defeats the point of it being a proper way to secure your phone, in all sorts of situations.

And also, the video is ridiculous. But nice try nonetheless. If you are able to get the phone to capture your fingerprint by just placing it in front (like literally 1cm away) and without the needs of a flash, you got my money. :)

This is a classic case of "making an app for the sake of making it" but not care about why such functionality exists in the first place.

Finger scanners exist not because people want to scan their fingers, but because it's faster, more convenient and more secured than using a pin lock or a pattern lock.

Those are the tenet of finger scanning, if you can come up with a better method to unlock the device (i.e. even more faster and convenient) then whether or not that method uses a finger scanner doesn't matter.

The video has made my day. On the other hand I totally agree with others that it's not practical at all and scanning your muddle finger in public would raise quite a few eyebrows.

I agree, soon I will try my best to make it more fast.. Mean time you can use the pin or pattern
You must understand that there are many free apps out there that does the same features in regards to using a PIN or a pattern, so either you do a brand new feature to actually unlock the phone, or rework on your fingerprint scanning "feature".
Like I stated before, if you really wanted such a feature to work, it is be able to do the following with ease.

1) Scan your finger within 10-15 seconds so that it will not look awkward in situations.
2) Flash is a no go for such stuff.
3) The UI definitely needs to be fixed a LOT in terms of the scanning and recognition part, the main UI seems decent and nice actually, with the hexagon design to access different menus and such.
4) Includes other ways to unlock like Bluetooth app press a button to unlock or something that would make your app be different from others and make people want to use your app.

There you go. :)
