What is CM Locker
CM Locker is an Android app that adds functionality to the existing phone lock system.
CM Locker is intended to help users who have Android distributions with limited phone privacy features. For starters, it acts as a secure login screen. It also has some unique features that set it apart from traditional apps. While it only offers two authentication methods, which are pattern recognition and the traditional PIN code. The pattern recognition feature is unfortunately almost identical to the one almost every current Android device offers: the user traces a certain pattern among a series of dots.
However, not all of the features of CM Locker are already included in most Android distributions. The most unique feature (and the biggest "selling" point) is the ability to set the app to take a picture of anyone who enters the PIN incorrectly. This could serve as evidence of people who are trying to unlock your phone without permission. It's also helpful if your phone is stolen and recovered, so you can see who the thief is.
CM Locker took signals from iPhone development. It includes a set of mini-apps that users can access without unlocking the device. This is especially convenient for users who need to use the lights on the device as a flashlight, a basic calculator, and more. None of these apps can be used to compromise the confidentiality of your Android device, but they're certainly helpful and much more readily accessible than almost any other app can make them. CM Locker includes many other mini-apps, but the flashlight is likely the most useful one.
Finally, CM Locker has the somewhat odd option of allowing users to download new themes for the app. This is nice for users who want a full range of customization for their lock screens. Users can also customize almost every other detail of the app, such as the icon display for the mini-apps.
Overall, CM Locker is a great choice for anyone looking to boost privacy and peace of mind on their Android device. While many features of CM Locker have been built into your Android, the fact that it can take photos of anyone trying to break into your device and the mini-app feature really do set it apart from the pack. You can't beat the price, either.
Pros:
- Takes photos of people trying to break in
- Is fully customizable
- Has a full array of mini-apps
Cons:
- Many features are already built into the Android OS
- Some security reports of backdoors
- Security features less tested than standard Android lock and unlock
