Description

PluckLockEx automatically locks your phone when it detects sudden movement.
This can be used for a number of reasons, including locking your phone when it is snatched out of your hands or dropped.

**IMPORTANT**: This app uses the Device Administrator permission!
The Device Administrator permission is used for a non-root method of locking the device screen. This is used when PluckLockEx is triggered only.

**IMPORTANT!** - To remove, go to Device Administrators in settings and deactivate PluckLockEx. Then you can uninstall normally! There app contains a tool to help you do this.

it works by detecting sudden changes in acceleration (read from the accelerometer) and performing a lock action when needed.

PluckLockEx is based on PluckLock, an open source app, and comes with a number of improvements and enhancements.

Improvements include:

- AppCompat UI that adapts to native theme, supports older devices. Uses Material instead of Holo on newer devices
- Configurable lock method (device administrator, root, fake [for testing])
- Add option to test lock method


In the application page, you can configure a locking threshold of motion and select a locking method when the threshold is exceeded.

PluckLockEx is also open source!

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

4 ★This isn't working at all! I have tried the threshold value from 2 to 55! This is a cool concept but please tell me how it would work on J6.
5 ★Very cool idea it must be implemented in new release of Android rom
5 ★These are the best sort of apps.. Simple, useful, lightweight, open-sourced and free - both of price and also advertisements. One thing you may want to note, Dev. If using root method, the user must disable "On Body Detection" in Google Smart Lock. Else, although lock screen gets invoked as designed, swipe to unlock is still active. Device Admin doesn't suffer from this, but then PIN entry is required. Thank you!
3 ★NEEDS FIX! ANDROID 9 - GOOGLE P2XL! It was working fine but at some point it just stopped working after a minute or two. Normally I'd tell myself whatever they will fix in the new update, but this is a crucial security feature and it is currently undependable on. I realised it wasn't working when I dropped it. I figured maybe it needs to be started once upon boot. Created a Tasker task to autorun on boot. Work for 1-2 minutes then stopped working. Uninstalling. This app was amazing, please fix and double-triple-quadruple check it ALWAYS works. Thanks.
5 ★I'm skeptical of apps that rely on sensors in the background due to 🔋 drainage, but this app doesn't seem to have an impact on my battery life to a degree significant enough to make me stop using it (or even for it to be noticeable, quite literally. The 🔋 drain seems comparable to having location on, and maybe even less - I can't stress this enough). I feel the author did a good job minimizing batter use, and the insignificant bit of drainage is worth the increase in security while outside. Had to leave 5 stars for such a simple, free, and flawlessly working app. Would really like a home screen widget so I could toggle the log on and off, but may see if I can control it via Tasker so when I leave my house PluckLockEx automatically turns on. Wish there would be a pro version, even though there's​ no ads. A setting off 30.0 seems to be the "Goldilocks Zone" for me, also. Great app! A true gem!
4 ★Useful idea, but a reasonable minimum threshold is at 50-55, the current default of 10 is way too low.
5 ★Seems pretty useful and it works exactly as described
1 ★Can't uninstall or deactivate. Way too sensitive to any movement.
5 ★Nice
