Screen Lock Solution App LockMeLite - Page 2

When app is running in background and incoming call/sms/email is received the screen and hardware buttons are locked. The power button is the only button that remains unlocked. The purpose of this app as stated by the creator is to prevent accidental answer or rejection of calls. It also avoids inadvertent button presses if device "wakes up in your pocket etc. as screen is locked. A simple swipe from top to bottom unlocks the screen.

According to the thread v 1.3 to be released on March 25th and here is a description of feature to be added.
"So let me explain how the "auto unlock" feature works.
Really simple to be honest. (that was the user request

)
LmL is running and an incoming call arrived.
The screen unlocks and the incoming call form is displayed.
The hardware buttons are locked.
If you use the slide button to answer the incoming call the LmL unlocks the hardware buttons.
If you don't accept the call, when the line hangs up after a couple of seconds the screen goes off again and the LmL locks the screen and keep the hardware buttons locked."

He says there will be an editor to allow this option to be on off.

In my opinion it does its job very well with no noticed battery drain as the goal of the app is to be light as possible. Works for me.

To answer shaggy: off.. hardware button locked...ringing buttons and screen locked until you swipe from top to bottom. After swiping phone functions normally all functions restored. once power button is pressed lock turns on again until power button pressed and swipe from top to bottom.

You have to get the speed right when flipping the phone for it to register. Thanks.

TouchLockPro has an option to only lock the screen. I use it that way and love it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444215

There's a two step swiping action if I recall reading correctly. Waste of time!

This is really close to what I'm looking for, but what I really want is a lock application that is completely transparent except for a slider bar or something. That way I can view TF3D's Home tab and the Windows Mobile title bar. Preferrably something that unlocks when a phone call is coming in, since I already have the slide-to-answer phone canvas installed.

Does anyone happen to know of something like this?

According to the creator of this app a transparent face is coming in a future release. The latest version released yesterday v 1.3 added the auto screen unlock on incoming call. It also added the ability to turn this option off and define the amount of screen that needs to be swiped before the screen becomes unlocked.

Once the transparent face is added this app will be near perfect.

See first post to follow the thread at XDA

Please hit thanks if this has helped in any way.
