Official myLock thread - we don't like the lockscreen

[Matth3w]

I see your comment on the market page. I'm going to give it a try. I'm pretty anal about lag coming out of lock (I even have my sleep profile set to 250-550) so not sure if I will stick with it, but it's worth a try. And if my buddy Martin tells me it's good, it's at least worth a download.

So far, I really like it. Sometimes I can see where the lock screen appears for a milisecond but not terrible. No more so than swiping the damn screen.

That 'flicker' is normal. It's improved so much since Alpha 1 (I've got every .apk the developer has released here in the thread on my PC if you're curious LOL. 6 total I think?)

Sometimes I see it, sometimes I don't, but like you said, it's no worse than the swipe to unlock and I don't have to swipe There's also a myLockLite version on the developers webpage linked in the first post. It's a lil different but I think the developer is planning on integrating some of the functionality of the Lite version into alpha C to create a final release

It's not perfect... yet. But you know how development goes. It's a process

What's the difference? Hell the program I got from the Market seems simplistic as hell, not sure what the lite version would be lol

Actually the version from the Market is the best I've had running. I've had the alpha C from the dev's website and it wasn't stable like this one is... not sure what changed .... but H e L L yea!

Oddly enough, this was one of my HUGE complaints about the G1 when I had it. I ranted and raved and got no where and got nothing but flamed.

My point at the time was - I don't need someone to tell me when to lock my phone.

This has gone part of the way to solving the problem by making it easier to unlock.

I still feel that if I don't want the screen to lock at all, but not stay on, I should be able to. In other words, when I am at home, unless I specifically lock the phone, I should just be able to touch it and it come back on.

"Shake to Wake" is going to be a feature of this app. It's a step toward that

[Matth3w]

Yeah but then if you move while it is in your pocket, won't it wake?

I didn't say I'd use it personally But I think he's planning on using toggles to switch between modes. Not sure tho. Don't wanna put words in his mouth

[Matth3w]

Now that wouldn't be bad. If you are just sitting around the house use a widget or something and turn on shake to wake, so by the time you pick up the phone it would be woken.
