until Dev make it possible to block home button unlock, this lockscreen is useless and just another pretty lockscreen like many other in the market.
So far the only lockscreen able to block the home button in the market is Widgetlocker.
who need another lockscreen that don't actually lock anything since any press to a button you might do by accident in your pocket will unlock your screen.

This lockscreen's awesome! PLenty of promise. Bought the paid one straight away.
Hopefully more cusotmisable features are added in the future such as positioning of shortucsts, icons, and themes.

How do you prevent home button from preventing unlock in widget locker? I can't seem to find that setting.

This. I was about to ask if it fixes the home button bypass because it's pretty much useless if it doesn't.

Widgetlocker prevents home button bypass by effectively becoming the default launcher. So you set Widgetlocker as your launcher and then select what launcher you want Widgetlocker to launch.
To do this go into Widgetlocker Settings -> Advanced -> HomeHelper -> enable homehelper -> Select System Home -> select WL HomeHelper and tick the use by default option. Then select HomeHelper's Launncher and select the launcher you want to use. This will then prevent the home button bringing up the home screen when locked using widgetlocker.

Given what we're talking about that makes absolutely no sense to me. To use a simple analogy, surely a lockscreen application preventing the phone being unlocked with a simple button press is as fundamental to it's purpose as a steering wheel is to a car?

u guys still have beautiful widget or fancy widget unlock weather animation with this???

I have an app that does that, it's called WidgetLocker. And I'm well aware no one is forcing me to use this, well done for stating the obvious. Should all that mean I can't discuss the shortcomings of the application in this thread? Obviously not.
You seem to be completely missing the point of what a forum is for.

I don't mind that home key unlocks your phone but if you touch the app shortcuts they get launched! You don't even need to move them! That's bad... Cuz I accidentally unlock and start apps this way. Stupid!

its actually full of bugs... if you press the home key and want to change its settings the lockscreen starts again.
And it does not support missed events.
And you need to have a services running!

I find that hard to believe. There is nothing in this lockscreen blocking the home button from unlocking the phone. I bought the paid version and even had a chat with the Dev about it and he is working on a solution for blocking the home button from unlocking but currently thats not possible so find it hard to believe it when your saying its not unlocking your phone

Yes, slightly buggy , but a VERY commendable start.

Trouble with unlock screen

Had this phone for Two days now and LOVE it. Way better then evo 3d I had. Only issue I have is I struggle to unlock it every time. Maybe the size maybe the touchwiz screen. Either way it makes me crazy. Anyone make a suggestion of a different lock screen that is stable and won't mess up the excellent battery life.
Btw I have no interest in rooting but don't mind buying an app if needed. Also I have no issue with other parts of touchwiz just the lock screen.

I use widget locker. You can set that up any way you'd like. I have the stock aosp lock screen. Does wonders.

Widget locker allows you to customize the lockscreen with a ot of different options. So the AOSP lockscreen is when you slide the icon across to unlock you phone. It is Androids stock lock screen that ships with Android if Samsung or HTC wouldn't add their own.

Agile lock is pretty good too. It gives you a lockscreen similar to sense 3.0

I replaced my stock lock screen with widget locker and haven't experienced any problems (including battery life). It could be that people using widget locker are placing battery intensive widgets on their lockscreen.

Yeah I haven't had any problems with battery life or any slow downs either. This phone handles the battery and speed well. You can set it up however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can even download themes. I just like it so much because I don't have to use the original lock screen for our phone.

Thanks again! I downloaded and have been playing with widget locker and love it so far. Only question I have is ... Is there some way to get rid of the icon in the notification bar that shows widget locker ongoing. I keep thinking there is something I have not checked and it kinda bothers me. Tried to find a setting to get rid if it but no luck. Thanks again

[APP] Remove bottom bar

Now that the nexus is rooted, HideBar can also be used to use the full screen:
http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/

Sorry to be a bother, but could you post a screen shot?

Yes, second for screen shot please

really nice work. I tryed the demo. It will hide the button-bar and the status-bar. But hey 3€ for this improvement is to high. Espacialy because in a few weeks there will be custom roms with this feature, too. Cyanogen and paranoid can do this too with longpress power button and expand Desktop i think.... and for free

It just removes the bar at the bottom of the screen. No point in making a screenshot
The demo is free. It fully works, all features as in the paid version, it just displays a small link to the market for a very short time. You can always buy the version at the market, great way to say thanks!

Does it just remove the bar but keep the buttons? I don't understand.

I think its neat but I wouldn't want to ruin the pure experience. I'll wait for Cyanogenmod to get a feature like this, they always follow Google style spot on.

Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for--just about. I knew I rooted for a reason. Didn't need BusyBox either.
I only wish there were more options to show the nav buttons. The current options are kinda easy to trigger for games.

Not bad. It would be useful to have a toggle on the power off screen menu. Loved that on a ROM I had on my Galaxy Nexus.

damn awesome.
the ghost back button is a little tricky to find, but i'm getting used to it
a gesture to show hide the status bar would make it perfect

I would suggest Fullscreentoggle.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
for removing the navbar
and either GMD gesture controls or button savior (i use both) for navigation. Heres to taking back our entire screen

What I wonder is this. With 3rd party launchers, it's cake to hide the status bar. I swipe down to show it, I swipe down again to hide it. When it's hidden, it still shows for apps that've set the preference to leave it visible, whether or not you've hidden it in the launcher. Why hasn't this been implemented for the NavBar? Is it that much harder to do?

I used this method I'm on day 2 going on day 3 now using button savior and after the first 24 hours worth of use I've gotten used to using button savior and I love getting that extra real estate back. I was gonna post this method using the fullscreentoggle.apk while using button savior but I see u beat me to it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I have been trying to use both of these apps but I cannot get them to function. Well button savoir works by showing the bottoms on the right when I want but I cannot get full screen to work..
I like the hide bar demo app but hate the ads. I just may have to buy. Just seems like there are so many apps that do so much for less than half the cost. I know it isn't a ton of cash but the app purchases add up.
The full screen app should make the bar disappear anyhow I believe..

Anyone else getting 'glitching/flicking' wallpaper on the home screens using the demo version ? ..maybe a reboot will fix, will try later.
Using a live wallpaper though is fine.
I'm still using it though, awesome app. If it's confirmed the full version is without this problem then i'm buying.

Luv having the full screen real estate! Im using the Fullscreentoggle.apk and Button Savior combination.

Minimize on screen nav-keys

Just saw the Huawei Ascend, they have an option for minimizing the on screen buttons, next to the back button.. Very nice! Is it difficult to make for our Nexus4 ?

Not everyone uses AOKP though. I like stock and have been looking for the same exact thing. This is would be useful if it was universal

very nice feature.
i hope the next nexus have something like this..to hide/unhide the nav bar anytime you want while onscreen.. the aokp using time out..can be frustrating at time..

In AOKP you can also have a quick toggle for that previously mentioned auto-hide Navbar feature - so you can turn the feature on before playing a game or whatever (and still have quick access to the navbar buttons): Screenshot.
You can also add an option to enable/disable the navbar from the Power Menu (just straight up disable it, without the autohide): Screenshot.
Though I do agree, having a button on the navbar to quickly minimize it (like the Huawei ascend) would be pretty awesome.

Downlaod the app mentioned above GMD Gesture. You have to set it up in settings where it hides the nav bar/status bar on screen unlock, and show nav/status bar on screen off. There seems to be an issue if you dont have the nav bar "showing" while the screen is off, when you get a call your screen will not turn on. It took me awhile to get it set up correctly. Now it works, but if I have my screen on doing anything on the phone and the nav bar is hidden if I get a call I still will not see who it is unless I push the button to turn my screen off the back on. One more thing if you dont use a live wallpaper when waking your screen up your background will be all black for a sec or two then your background comes up. Live wallpapers have no problem. Other than those issues it works fine. I have another gesture setup to manually hide/unhide the nav bar also, if I did want to use it. Oh yea, the nav bar and notification hide/unhide together fyi. Hope you're not to confused after reading that lol.

No confusion, and thanks for the reply, but this seems way too broken at the moment. If you have to do this many work-arounds and have this many issues you have to deal with, then the app should be free not $5.56.
I am interested in the single button on the navbar as well. Bump this hoping there is a dev that can mod something here. deodexed/stock.

+1 for single button! Cool

G3 features with 3rd party launchers?

will my device still retain features such as knock on, knock codes, lg's customized nav buttons, qslide apps, multi windows if I use a 3rd party launcher like nova launcher?

yes. the only thing you will lose is the lg specific widgets, the lg health page and the ability to knock off anywhere (you can still double tap the status bar to knock off)
i'm using nova and all the other lg stuff works great

Just install it, then bind the double tap gesture in Nova to "Turn off" shortcut, and you get an exact replacement for Knock Off.

Thanks for the lead on the program, and for the tip on hitting the notification bar.
I was afraid I'd have to make the tough choice between the functionality of the double-tap and just using Nova.
Forgive me if I missed the explanation, but why doesn't the double-tap just work in Nova like in the standard launcher?

I think that the double tap gesture in Nova needs to be tapped on a blank/empty area without any icons/shortcuts/widgets.

using g3 tweaksbox I set the double tap on home key to turn screen off and enabled double tap on status bar. so when using phone with one hand I can reach the home button easily.
