Hey Everyone!
I am not going to say this is my app because really it's not, this is just a rebuild of the LockScreenTest app with United States standard Date and Time formatting for those who want it.

Original app is by: -W_O_L_F-

To install the application you will need Interop-Unlock as well as:
ID_CAP_SHELL_DEVICE_LOCK_UI_API and ID_CAP_CHAMBER_PROFILE_CODE_RW must be unlocked to install this app!


Install with Windows Phone Power Tools or with this method!

Download is in the attachments list.

Features(These features come from LockScreenTest by -WOLF-):

  • Set pictures as background
  • Set video as background (Place raw MJPEG video on root of SDCARD NOT PHONE STORAGE)
  • Override system lockscreen
  • Calendar events
  • Notifications (E-Mails and Messages as far as I know work?)
  • 12-Hour format clock
  • United States standard date display
  • Music control (Xbox Music only for now)
  • Battery Percentage on Lockscreen

Let me know what you think, this is my first attempt at compiling a Windows Phone 8.x application ;)

Side Note(s): I also plan on releasing an AdAway port to WP8.x devices as soon as I can figure out how to get system access to the hosts file. but that will be in another thread.

Enjoy the app!

thanks for this tool and good to see set video as background .
but why it needs to place video file in sd card ?
isn't it better to use file picker and save video and background picture in ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder ?
or you can use KnownFolders.VideoLibrary.GetFileAsync("Background.mjpg");
to get the video file from sd card or internal easier .
I tried to run it on my Lumia 920 with Windows 10 build 10152 , I couldn't run it .
It stuck on Splash Screen .
and then I test it on my ATIV S with 8.1 , it runs without any problem at running .
couldn't able to use it after copying video file in sd card .

I didn't actually write this orginally it was built by -WOLF-, I just reworked the source to get proper US formatted Time and Date.

I am planning on adding on to it though so stay tuned! I will add that as a feature soo!

I'm glad to see somebody improving my app :) Good luck!
Thanks man! I really liked your app, and used it for awhile, but I really wanted the 12 hour format which is what got me to rebuilding yours to use 12 hours. ;)

Now I am adding features to help other users with their needs/wants. :) Thanks for the kind words my friend.
