Is this any better than S2U2?

[mullaneyiv]

def more simpler, weather its better that depends what your looking for. s2u2 def has more ops, but i think PS is a nice alternative.

[Negrito]

Ok, I'll stick with my S2U2. I was thinking this might have a feature that it didnt. Thanks for sharing though.

[mullaneyiv]

it does, it can be set to unlock using gestures (shaking phone), either shake front left to right or flip face up n down. it also uses the light sensor to lock and unlock phone, so when you take it out of your pocket it unlocks and then locks when you put it back into your pocket.. answering calls can be by gesture or s2a. I dont use thar feature though cuz i like the black s2a i have. PS has a feature that protects calls from being answered by accident if your phones in your pocket. If you use that featurethen when you get a call, you would have to eiher shake your phone to answer or slide finger from top to bottom. It is def one of my fav locking programs, along with s2u2. Its easily skinable too. those are just a couple things i can think of...
