Lock Booster 4.2.5
Lock Booster is a nice app that incorporates two main features, it lets you customize your lock screen and it boosts your phone every time you unlock it. It has many customization features, the app brings some style to your device while also improving its functionality.
Sleek interface with many features at hand
Locker apps usually don't come with a tutorial or instructions since they're pretty straightforward and wouldn't really need any more tips to get users started. That's why Lock Booster doesn't have any instructions, but it does explain what each section of the app does so that you wouldn't have any trouble with it.
Lock Booster launches directly with the settings menu, letting users make changes to the wallpaper and helping them setup the app. You'll need to tweak system settings as to allow the app to post notifications on the lock screen.
Customize the app to your liking
The first thing that you'll need to do is turn on notifications and select your favorite apps to receive notifications on your lock screen. You can also select a screen lock, either from patterns or a PIN code, but before you do that make sure you disable your stock lock screen, so that they wouldn't interact.
You can also change the language of the app and pick from the many available. Other than that, you can enable the booster and have the app clean your memory each time you unlock so that your phone would speed up. The lock screen also displays the amount of RAM your device uses together with battery status and the weather. It comes with a music player, optimized cleaning features and many customization possibilities.
Shake to change wallpaper
You can have the app automatically show weather conditions in your location, slide the screen to left for it to display temperatures for upcoming days and more info.
Lock Booster comes with a whole gallery of HD wallpapers and it uses animation to display them. You can rotate wallpapers every day or shake your phone to change them. The app comes with a pin lock option and an option to hide your notification content.
There's also the option of downloading certain images via WiFi in case you don't like some showed in the gallery. Custom wallpapers can also be added. Slide the screen up and Lock Booster displays system toggles so you wouldn't have to unlock your phone in order to access them. If you want to uninstall this app, you'll need to deactivate it as a device administrator, otherwise it won't work.
