Do you feel inconvenient to lock your device using the power button?
Are your afraid of wearing out the power button? (My n1 was repaired coz of that :< )
'Lock Screen App' is a tiny app that can help you lock easily (without power button).
Features :
•Lock device with one touch
(Same effect as pressing the power button)
•Not a widget so it does not run as service in the background
•Auto-kill itself after locking to save your Battery & Memory
•Tiny in size (<100k)
Features (Donation Version Only):
•Little bit faster
•Lock by long-pressing search button **not work on xpad/apad and device without search key**
•Get updates earlier
★★ Please buy the donation version to support the dev! ★★
(You could find it using 'View more applications'/ the link in the app's settings page)
Thank you! :D
Notes:
======
This app uses the Device Administrator permission.
@@Compatibility Issues@@
------------------------------------
1.New / Updated Moto devices may not be supported
Moto disallows lock screen in their OS updates, so it would not work on moto devices after updates and new device like Droid 3. I have reported it to moto, but they did not agree to fix!
2. For device running Android 4.X, sometimes flashing (screen on then off again) may happen, try to enable 'Force Lock' in Lock Screen Settings to fix it.
3.It has been tested to work on Galaxy Nexus and Android Simulators (2.2,2.3, 4.0.2, 4.0.4, 4.1, 4.2 & 4.3)
However, the dev cannot guarantee that it could run / uninstall on all devices [coz I don't have all the devices].
If you encounter problem with you device, feel free to drop me an email!
### How to uninstall? ###
------------------------------------
Locking Screen in Android requires the user of device administration function, you must deactivate device administration *BEFORE* uninstall to avoid error!
To do this:
•Go to "Lock Screen Settings" (in launcher) -> "Remove Device Administrator"
~See screenshots~
Alternatively, you may do it via
•Go to Settings -> Location & security (or Security) -> Select device administrators -> Uncheck this app.
After that, uninstall it in Play Store, in case of error during uninstall in Play Store, do it at Settings->Apps->Lock Screen-->Uninstall
[To use other hardware keys to unlock your device, try 'Widget Locker' / 'No Lock' app (not developed by me)]
Latest updates

Notes:
1.Read the app description / screenshots if you encounter problem during uninstall
2.For device running Android 4.X, sometimes flashing (screen on then off again) may happen, try fix it by enabling 'Force Lock' in Lock Screen Settings.

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.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
2 ★It does what it says, just locking the screen when the app launched, but I don't know how and why, my phone become sluggish after locking the screen using this app, and only recoverable by reboot.
5 ★My Xperia Z's power button died off, and I was unable to lock my screen. This app was a lifesaver!
3 ★Unable to unlock it using fingerprint as it is asking for the password to be entered. Please correct that and a sure 5 Star rating!
3 ★Seems to be clashing with some other software and my tablet's battery gets drained through a wakelock. With all these android issues, do I need to turn to apple??
5 ★Decent
5 ★And I even have linked to it thru another app, so can tap a graphic on my screen and it works everytime. (I use Minmalistic Text and No Friils Calendar for that.) This is a great app. Give it a try! I have it on both of my devices. I will support by purchasing upgrade version soon. Thank you, dev! LG Optimus Elite & F3, Rooted Kindle Fire 1st Gen, Galaxy 3 phone & GalaxyTab 3.
5 ★People who can't read should not install applications and then complain that it is impossible to remove them. If all fails, follow the instructions, that's provided that you can actually read. Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300. This works when others don't.
3 ★Seems to work for the most part. The odd time the screen will wake itself. Went to enable force lock and that seemed to just make my screen flicker quickly after locking - Note 2
5 ★my shortcut app can only register app(not shortcut),, this app solved my problem of wanting to add lock screen shortcut..,, btw i found most of the low rating here are ones complaining how they cant uninstall this app,,,,,,,oh my fking god, cant believe ppl can be this stupid,, maybe u guys should just stick to crapple
1 ★It does not uninstall and all it does is turn off the screen. This app sucks utterly and completely!!! No matter what you do, do NOT get this app!!! :(
1 ★How am I suppose to unlock?? When I had my old phone I would unlock it with the volume button, but now I can't .. This sucks . and my power button doesn't work so I can't unlock only lock it with this app... It was better back then not any more!
3 ★I have a galaxy S3 the app itself is great the only thing is that when I press to turn the screen of it turn off then on and off again ... please fix ... then its def a 5 stars!
