Judging by the video this looks like a must have app on the hd2. i love the swiping the whole lockscreen effect .a choice of different skins available interchangebale backgrounds pics also the ability to vreate your own on the website THIS IS A NEW EXPERIENCE im looking to purchase this app before i do can anyone recommend it? if they tried it are there any negatives except the price? tHanks All
When I first got my Touch Pro2, my problem was locking it. I was looking at PocketShield, but in all honesty, there are other great [free] lockscreens such as TouchLockPro, S2U2, (don't know if it's still around) ThrottleLock.
I used TouchLockPro on my TP2, and I loved it, especially since the developer actually utilized the zoombar as an unlock mechanism. However, it has other features that are compatible for the HD2: Proximity Sensor, Light Sensor, Hardware Button Combinations, etc.
However, if PocketShield has a trial version, I advise you to try before you buy, especially since it's $15 (USD)!
thanks you make a valid point.i will trial the product before making purchase..has any of the other programs you mentioned have the feature to unlock by swiping the whole lockscreen?

Unfortunately, no.
TouchLockPro doesn't even have a UI to unlock; you will only know it is locked if there is a thin, solid bar (the color of the bar is customizable) at the top of the screen or if you use the BattClock (a box with the battery percentage and the clock), which changes color. The lack of a UI is what makes this lock very "lite".
S2U2 is an iPhone-style lock, though there are many skins/themes that can be found here on XDA to make it look less like the iPhone.
ThrottleLock, which I have never tried, is an Android-style pattern lockscreen -- you make your own pattern (connecting the dots on a grid) to unlock it.
I use Pocketshield about 1year and its super program i can recomande it..

I've been using PocketShield for a while. It is an excellent program. The Pin Locking actually works, and is easy to use. It has several other very useful features to customize the way it works.
I wouldn't be without it now. It's pretty cheap, too.
it has a 15day trial which im currently into! i think its a fantastic app. a must have!!
I also use pocketshield for a couple of months.
Works as it should. No problems
Maybe more nice themes is something to be wanted
is there a way you can upload more themes to it?
i use pocketshield & i highly recommend it. i actually PAID for it, and i never buy apps unless theyre that awesome. i do think it needs more themes though. but you can change the background pic, so its not that big a deal.
This lock screen looks great, seems smoother than S2U2 in the unlock animation.
I definitely want it, but $10 seems WAY too much for a lock screen.
great app
I used S2U2 before but since a few months I switched to Pocketshield. I can say one thing : it's worth the money for sure.
Easy to use and to customize.
Nice skins.
All the customization I did is working perfectly (e.g. unlocking exceptions, application permissions,...)
There are regularly updates and the lock screen gets more and more developed too (more information).
definately feels alot smoother than s2u2 plus other features too. tbh i removed s2u2 because i didnt like the apple iphone aspect of it rather keeo it original..finally agree with price being a issue
I have also tried PocketShield and although it is attractive, I find that its "application exception" is pretty buggy. "Application exception" allows you to specify applications that you do not want to lock the screen, e.g. music player. I find that it will attempt to lock the screen then try to unlock it, which seems to cause some undesirable effect, like freezing the phone.
S2U2 also has this feature and works a lot better as it will not lock the screen at all for applications listed.
I do like the vertical swipe feature of PocketShield which is a lot easier to apply than the iPhone style sideway swipe. Unfortunately this one problem stops me from using it.
I think I will give this a try. Been using s2u2 without complaint, but always looking for something new. If you can just swipe the screen, then that would be an added bonus.
im currently using it right now. trial version though. im having mixed emotions about it though. will still try it for a few more days. it has a lot of nice skins and is very easy to use... but im still hesitant getting it though.
anyone know how to disable the notifications popups? apparently pocketshield enables them and I have never used them.
i totaly forgot this one.. looks like it got amazing now
really thinking about buying it this time..
nrfitchett4,
have you tried to alter the notifications option in settings?
I also used it for a couple of time and paid for it. My problem was the following: appointments haven't updated properly on the PS-lockscreen and so I threw it away for now. Will try again later.
Does it work for you?
For me it ask for fingerprint and then shows the launcher.
Sent from my ONE A2005
Works for me no problem. Make sure you are swiping from the right, not the corner of the screen. The icon can be somewhat missleading
Yes, I'm doing it right ... maybe Xposed is causing the issue.
Just to be sure, do you have more than one camera-app installed? That tends to break things with shortcuts for me. (Although, swipe usually works, it's the off-screen gesture that's not working with more than one camera installed...)
Good point!
Now that I removed the Google camera app, all is good.
I'm on the latest RR, 5.3.8. Finger print function works, but there's no addition settings available to do other things once the phone is unlocked (gravitybox added some additional functionality, but no xposed in 7).
I've tried several apps that let you configure additional functions to the finger print once unlocked. The entry i'm using is 'toggle notifications'. This works, but seems to add significant lag when unlocking the phone, requiring at least 2 taps to unlock.
Any thoughts or suggestions for achieving this? Ideally it'd be nice to do a slow double tap - first to unlock, second to toggle the notification without having to move my finger from the back to the front.
hello try to download the NExt lockscreen in Play store..work wonders for me...
Is this app similar to widget locker from years past?
I don't know if I want a full blown lock screen replacement. When I did have widgetlocker instsalled, i used the same apps as were on the home screen. Layout was very similar. Really all I want to do is use the fingerprint reader as another button. It's far more convenient to tap it once unlocked than to move fingers to the front of the phone to swipe the status bar down.

Hi guys,
I know there is a way to disable the package "Floating Window" but this also disable the note feature while you are using another app.
Is there a way to use the Note-Feature while the preview is in background? i have to take much notes while I am in different apps like Skype and the preview is blocking content.
If not it seems the yoga is nice to have but not really usefull cause I already need a piece of paper to take the notes.
Best wishes
The best I found is to use a package disabler to toggle the floating window. It takes a bit of setting up, but I have an icon on my home screen which lets me turn it on and off at will. It is such a silly thing, but really ruins the usability of the tablet.
I use lots of apps that swiping right or left brings up side menus ,so swipeing right or left to back is pain and interferes with these apps ,is there any way of using the corners again ?
I hate this, too. So I use the best third party gesture app that retains OnePlus' original gestures, plus adds additional functionality:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures
Switch to navigation bar, then use a PC with ADB to hide the bar. Or use root..

Thanks for this recommendation. I too am used to the original gestures and find myself constantly invoking the Google Assistant without wanting to!
I was so disappointed with the new gestures and immediately started to miss my OnePlus 6, this app saves the whole Android 10 experience on OP8. Thank you!!
I don't mind the right side swipe but I don't need the left swipe in for back, any way to deactivate that!?
XDA app uses swipe in from left and the phone just thinks I want to go back

I personally use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid since it has a bit more features. Same setup though. I just couldn't stand the normal implementation...
Try swiping on a diagonal when trying to open a menu.
Edit: diagonal trick doesn't work so well, but I've found that using 2 fingers works very well to slide a menu out and not trigger the back function.
Thought I would revive this ,surely Google and apps developers.realisenthisnis an issue and something has to give ,I use at least half a dozen aps that have swipe from the side gestures ,all that's happening the moment is it takes me back .
Surely either app developers have to make it swipe from middle for it to work or Google has to allow swipe up to go back as an option
