Personalise your lock screen to include app shortcuts,additional security, and even an iOS-style slider
Lollipop’s lock screen saw the return of a pair of app shortcuts – one for the Camera and one for the Phone app. However, the stock lock screen doesn’t give you any way of customising these shortcuts, which is where the Hi Locker lock screen replacement app comes in. The Hi Locker app includes five fully customisable app shortcuts, plus some additional features for further customising your lock screen.
Some of these features are merely cosmetic, such as tweaking the text that appears on your lock screen, but others let you add extra functionality. This tutorial shows you how to set up Hi Locker and explores the main ways you can use this app to personalise your lock screen. You can download Hi Locker for free from Google Play. Once it’s downloaded, launch your new Hi Locker app and let’s get started!
Secure Lock Screen:
★ Hi Locker has two unlocking modes by password, you can choose unlocking by PIN or by “Drawing”.
