5 Best Android lock screen apps P 1/2 topic

Android smartphones allow you to customize nearly everything to fit individual needs and preferences. This includes the lock screen too. Today we’ll show the best Android lock screen replacement apps that have impressive designs and valuable features that will have you getting more out of your lock screen.


Lock screen apps offer an easy way to personalize your Android phone or tablet.

1. Echo Notification Lockscreen

If you're looking for a lightweight app that provides all the essentials right from the get-go, then Echo Notification Lockscreen will likely float your boat. The app displays messages, missed calls and other types of notifications straight from the lock screen, which you can then open by tapping, or dismiss by swiping to the left. Two cool things about the app: you get a camera shortcut to snap some quick photos and it won’t suck your battery dry either. And Echo Notification is also free!


Echo Notification Lockscreen provides you with messages and missed calls on your lock screen.

2. Cover - the smart lock screen

Cover brings context-based information to the lock screen, meaning the right content and settings at the right time. This is reminiscent of Google Now and for the most part works quite similarly. By entering your home address and workplace, the lock screen will know when to switch between private and work mode. Depending on the situation, it shows matching apps as shortcuts. This works because the launcher is capable of learning and adapts to particular usage patterns. In addition to being able to automatically switch between settings and shortcuts, Cover also offers simplified access to recently used apps by swiping downwards from the top screen border.

Cover is in open beta phase and can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store. We already tested the lock screen two months ago and found that even then it made a very good and well-made impression.


Cover offers context-based apps on your Android lock screen to match your habits.

3. Ubuntu Lockscreen

There had been talks about a mobile operating system from Ubuntu called Ubuntu Touch, but it never really caught on. If you still want at least a tiny hint of Ubuntu on your smartphone, you can install the Ubuntu Lockscreen. It has a ring menu that will display notifications, and by swiping from top to bottom, you’ll see date, time and battery status.

Swiping from right to left presents shortcuts to apps which can be set up by the user individually beforehand. On request, a music player can be displayed on the lock screen, since the security options are currently only a password or PIN. So, even when swiping from left to right, the display will remain unlocked. The Ubuntu Lockscreen can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and is free.

4. UnlockYourBrain - vocabulary and math training

On average, we’ll look at our smartphones about 80 times a day. Wouldn’t it make sense to combine these almost subconscious compulsions with something meaningful? UnlockYourBrain is a lockscreen alternative made to keep your brain fit by having you solve math problems and do some vocabulary training.

The vocabulary or math exercises loaded onto the lock screen can naturally be skipped in case you get stumped. The potential found in this lock screen is great though. Repetition is the mother of retention and by constantly viewing vocabulary and calculation methods, this will slowly but surely start to sink in, keeping your brain from turning into mush.

UnlockYourBrain is free and ad-supported, available in the Google Play Store. The premium version can be bought as in-app purchases in various packages.


UnlockYourBrain makes you smarter all while unlocking your phone.

5. DashClock widget

The easiest and most popular way to set up a lock screen is with the use of widgets. One of the most popular in this genre is DashClock Widget because it not only supports extensions but is also be extensively customizable. The widget, which is displayed next to the clock, can be a calendar, appointments, unread messages or when using supported apps, the weather for example.

DashClock Widget can be downloaded for free in the Google Play Store. Setting up and searching for matching extensions can be fun but could also take some time to complete thanks to a huge array of extensions to choose from. You can take a look at an overview in the Play Store by simply searching for the term "DashClock".

[Q] What's the best way to control app permissions in Lollipop topic

I've always used Xposed and XPrivacy but since that isn't an option right now, what's the best way to control app permissions in Lollipop? I'm willing to flash custom ROMS to do this. One thing is Facebook is very good at getting around Location blocks, and I don't quite trust them with my location. So blocking FB locations is my test of the method succeeding or failing.

Thanks

Pretty general question here...just wondering what some of the more highly-regarded ROMs are for a rooted Moto X. The goals would, of course, be to maintain all the stock functionality that makes the phone awesome, minimal bugs, maximal customizability and active development & support. Would definitely prefer Android 5. I've done some searching online, but having a hard time find up-to-date lists, reviews, etc. Thanks in advance for your input!

Hey guys I am planning to buy best tablet in the market with 9.7 inches screen

Please suggest me a best tablet with

1. Best specs (Hardware Specifications )
2..Best software platform (Single OS or Dual OS )
3. Fair Price (.from 0 to 0 )

It may be branded or Its ok even if its Chinese company tablet because most of them own them and know what are its advantages and what are its drawbacks.

Your suggestions and reviews mean lot to me . Hope i will get best response in choosing the best tablet

[Q] best model of the note 4 to buy? topic

I had a galaxy note 3 and really enjoyed the s-pen, so I decided I'm going to take some tax money and trade in my current phone for a note 4. I want to buy one that the boot loader is unlocked (would like root, custom recovery) and would also need a phone that can get LTE on at&ts network. Would an unlocked T-Mobile phone do this for me? (I'm actually on cricket if that matters). I heard T-Mobile doesn't lock the boot loader like at&t does.

[Q] Best video recording app? topic

Hey all,

Sorry if this has came up before - given what the question is it wouldn't surprise me if it had!

Does anyone know what the, generally accepted as, best video recording app for our phones are? After coming from iOS, the camera functions are the only part of the phone that I'm finding it hard to match the iPhone.

I generally take a lot of videos and edit them. Mini-movies aren't aren't at all uncommon for me to film.

Whilst I'm still using my iPad for editing the films (iMovie and so on), I'm anxious to continue to use (and enjoy doing so) my S4 for video recording. My old 5S shot incredible video and even at lower resolution settings the output was generally smoother than the S4 shoots at the same settings.

If I'm stuck with the quality of the video recordings, that's fine and I'll make do. I would just prefer to find an app that can shoot at higher than stock bit rate etc and give me as many options (or close to) that the apps on iOS offers. I came to android as I absolutely LOVE using lollipop and the way it works is brilliant, so as said if I need to continue as I am that's fine. If it helps I'm using GPE 5.0.1 at the moment. Please not I'm not looking to start an iOS vs android discussion, just looking to find out what options I may or may not have and what I might be missing in the Play Store.

Thanks guys,

Pete

[Q] Smartphone with best flashlight? topic

Hello xda!
as of today i bid farewell to my s3, it has never let me down, the phone was great and its modding community was even better. however the phone has taken its toll of abuse, and this is the second time ive cracked the screen on it :( .

So its time to get me a new phone, but im not so sure what to get, I use the flashlight a lot and it has saved me from lots of day to day situations.
i was considering getting a oneplus one, but a coworker has that and the flashlight is very weak, theres even a comparison video on youtube specifically between the s3 and one+

So i came to ask here after a bunch of google searches that pretty much got me no answers.
What android phones have the brightest flashlight?
The more mentioned the better, im quite picky with choosing my new phone, even considering staying true to the s3 and getting me a replacement screen haha
thanks

ps the more recent the phone the better, really hoping for one that will get/have a lollipop port

[Q] Best root for 4.3 to run titanium? (total noob) topic

Hello all.

I have looked at root threads till my eyes bleed, but being an absolute total noob to android (but not to devices) I am having a hard time.

I want to root my Note 3 SM-900V running 4.3 so I can run titanium backup.

Can anyone point me to a step by step? The phone is currently wiped and I am not too worried about knox if that matters.

Thanks so much!
