hy. i downloaded from market(Agile Lock Free,Ripple Lock Free ), after download app disappeared from screen like other theme from htc hub but no install. how to install lockscreen and theme? need a root?a trick?
Agile Lock:
Open the app, press start, then press power to shut the screen down (quick press, no need for power off or restart), then press power again to reactivate your screen.
Lock screen should now be different like sense 3.

I am always looking for Info for good apps, apps that make our phones function even better. Anyways I stumbled upon this app just by doing going through my Apps in the market and finding other apps related or "apps people also installed etc.
It is called home2 home shortcut. What is does it installs as another home launcher but is doesn't replace you current launcher. If you set it as default home it will ask you what launcher you want to use etc. One you do that you can set up the following to open and app and most shortcuts by doing soft key combos
Press home and home again - pick the app that you want to launch when you do the combo
Now click other settings below this above setting
Press home then search key - pick app you want to launch
Press home then back button -pick app etc
Press home and menu button - pick app that you want to launch when you do the combo
Here is a link.

If you don't want to use power button to lock and unlock your device then you can use an app tap tap app which allows you to lock and unlock your device without touching any key just simply swipe in the air to lock and unlock your device.
It makes your device a real smartphone.
It doesn't demand high end device it just need proximity sensors to work so if you have proximity sensor then you can also enjoy this great app.
App is available in Google playstore and free
Don't forget to hit the thanks
Don't think you posted this in the right section bro. There's a themes and apps subforum for these kinda things
But thanks for sharing!
Does the app have a name?

tap tap app but it's a battery killer
On my m7 (I used ported m9 rom) there was a widget called screen lock that was simply turning (and locking) screen off so I did not have to inconvenience myself by pressing power button.
Now I have HTC 10 and cannot find anything like this. I even I tried few different apps from Google Play but none of them worked OK with finger print scanner.
Is this just me being blind and stupid or there is no such a widget for HTC 10?

might want to try the elemental X or elite kernels, they both have swipe2sleep. you swipe certain area of screen and it shuts down the screen
cleanslate kernel has double tap fingerprint to shut down screen
You can also remap capacitive keys to perform various functions flashing Xposed framework and GravityBox. I mapped my 'back' key to put my phone to sleep with a long press.

The 10 has double tap to sleep built in, is that not enough?
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
Double tap to sleep works only from locked screen? Tried double tap on free space on my home screen and nothing happens. At least on my phone. So it not enough. In fact I think it's completely useless as I would have to lock screen first then double tap to turn screen off. Or am I misunderstanding something?
I do not want to root or flash custom rom, not yet at least. I was hoping there is going to be less "invasive" way to do it.

Coming from the M9 here, they allowed you to configure the 4th button to lock the screen. The screen lock widget works for me, but the unlock was strange (don't recall how), so I stopped using it. Now I just set it for 15 second timeout and it locks itself.
One of the few things I don't like about the 10. The other is that I can't configure the "quick keys" that swipe down from the top of the screen.
I use both Nova launcher gesture, and greenify widget to turn screen off, but, you can't use fingerprint scanner to unlock, you need to unlock using pin/pattern

You can, if you are rooted and have Tasker or a similar app installed.
You just set up the Nova gesture to run the Tasker shell command (with root privileges):
Code:
input keyevent 26
I have double tap to sleep and a long press of the home button to sleep set up. I only have to use my fingerprint to wake and unlock the device.
Theres one app that can achieve this without root on stock rom. Its called Screen Lock Pro. Its the only app i found that supports smart lock on marshmallow.
What that means? On all other screen off and lock apps ive tried i had to enter my pin instead of being able to use my fingerprint to unlock. The reader was locked every time. With Screen Lock Pro and the option "Smart lock and Nexus imprint" in settings activated i can turn off my 10 with a tap on an icon (homescreen) OR by pressing and holding the home button (i replaced google now on tap with Screen Lock Pro).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro&hl=de
Sadly its not for free, but you can try out the app and return it (refund) if you dont like it.

Sorry, forgot to mention this, you have to use the app "home launcher" and set it to launch screen lock pro. Home launcher can be set as the "help app" when you long press the home button. It replaces Google now then.

Sorry again, missed something in the name, the app is called "home button launcher". Search for it in the play store, youll find it. It has a rocket in its icon.
Once installed you have to navigate to the following menu:
Settins -> Apps -> the three dots top right -> configure apps -> standard apps -> Help and voice input -> help app
This should be set to the google app. Change it to home button launcher...when you long press the home button now it launches the app. Now just configure home button launcher with screen lock pro (remove all apps in the list except screen lock pro). Now go into settings from home button launcher and check the box "auto start mode if only one app selected". Youre good to go.
P.S. I had to translate the menus, since im on a german device, hopefully its not to far off from reality
When you read the reviews of screen lock pro it turns out it only darkens screen to maximum and then waits for time out to lock the screen, apparently it's easily visible when it's dark as backlight is still visible.
Good effort, kudos to devs but I read there is a problem when trying to unlock phone before the timeout locks the phone. Most of the times this will not be a problem but just wanted to highlight the side-effect of this solution.
I think I will live with default settings, and keep pressing power button, until I root phone / someone finds a way to do proper screen lock working with fingerprint.

NEWBIE:
*In many phones they have a inbuilt VR mode.
I checked everywhere and was unable to find out that setting.
**No options to turn your mobile to silent or vibrate.
***Finger print lock can we use it to lock separate apps like in mi.
**** Any reliable note making tool like in iPhone
Are these features hidden as they look normal features.
-I think that Inbuilt VR mode is not there in z play.
-You can use volume buttons.
-It can be done by using third party app from Playstore.
-I'm Using gnotes and is reliable and easy to use?
Don't forget to press the thanks button.
