Hello. I've been busy working on live lockscreen app. It's inspired by android lollipop lockscreen. I'll post photos but later I'll record video to showcase my app :) App supports PIN, music controls, notifications and some advanced customizations. App is running in emulator with 512MB of RAM so it should support low-end devices too. Check it out :)

Is it this one http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=...d-67394ea85b95 ?

If yes, it's nice, but not actually a lockscreen app, as it can't be assigned as a lockscreen.

[Jack David]

it was great!

[9112Fisher]

No, it's not. That is some kind of copy and it's not full lockscreen app. This is live lockscreen app just like Microsoft's own lockscreen beta app. It uses their APIs. API is still unavailable to public so my app will not be in store soon but as soon as Microsoft releases that API I'll publish my app :)

Damn, looking forward to it. You may of course send the XAP my way. :D

I can send you XAP file but you won't be able to install it if you have Lumia device. That is reason why I'm running app in the emulator. If you have other WP device you can unlock all caps and you'll be able to install application.

Shouldn't it work on an officially developer unlocked device? Oo

No. This app uses APIs that are closed for developers. Only Microsoft can use them. They released Tetra Lockscreen and that app uses the same API.
You need to unlock all capabilities or caps otherwise you won't be able to use the app. And by unlocking those caps you also unlock the API. Unfortunately this is only possible on Samusng Windows Phones or other. Lumia devices don't support this.

Hmm, I always thought apps that make use of unofficial APIs would work just fine, they'd just never make it through certification. Which isn't an issue when sideloading. :)

You have to interop-unlock your device to use it??

[9112Fisher]

Yes :)

[Mohamed Ashid]

Hey, can you send me the xap??

[isidhu1984]

Please make the xap available

[9112Fisher]

Check first post for XAP file. Your device needs to be interop-unlocked to install it. Not available on Lumia devices :)
Also expect bugs. That is still work in progress.
Known bugs:
- if you change background app will crash - fix soon
- sometimes password toggle in settings doesn't work
- notifications not displayed correctly
- alarm time is just test

If you experience password problem or you can't unlock your phone just click on emergency call button and device will unlock.

I updated password menu and added few new features so users could tweak the app.

[Niyaz Ahmed1]

Cool 😎 when u will make it available? Waiting for it

Once Microsoft publish the APIs that I used I'll put my app to the store, it will be probably with Windows 10 for phones, I hope with BETA version.

Can you pls make those animations working for 512mb ram devices

[9112Fisher]

Can you pls make those animations working for 512mb ram devices

All pictures above are captured from emulator running on 512 MB of RAM and they are all very smooth.

[Mohamed Ashid]

And the new xap?

[piunch92]

So, almost one year after they announced live lockscreen, they haven't released the api yet...
LOL
