Cyanogen Lockscreen Free 1.0.0.1
Cyanogen Lockscreen Free is one of the apps that has a pretty self-explanatory name, so in case you want to bring onto your handset the look of the Cyanogen lock screen, you can try this tool to see what it's all about.
Cool graphics and convenient layout
This app offers a quite nice aspect that includes a neat background image and some carefully drawn graphics that are consistent from end to end and clearly visible onto the locked screen.
Going through the various section of the utility is a breeze, as everything goes smoothly but there is a major nuisance represented by the presence of some really irritating ad banners that appear inside the home screen and also on the lock screen.
Fast setup with clear instructions
Once you get inside Cyanogen Lockscreen Free for the first time, you will be greeted by a screen that teaches you how to configure up the app. You can visit the instructions later on by accessing the dedicated function form the main menu.
Unless you want to go with the default options, you can select a picture from the local storage to serve as the main lock screen wallpaper.
Multiple lock methods and on-screen info
Triggering the main function of the application can be done from the main menu of the app, but there are also two other alternatives. The first one is to pin a tile to the Start screen and use it to lock the screen, while the second involves the toast notification that is hosted inside the notification center.
Nonetheless, if you think you can rely on Cyanogen Lockscreen Free to keep your phone secure, think again because it can be closed just like most apps, with one tap on the "Start" or "Back" buttons.
In case you want to get some information at a glance from the lock screen of this utility, you can check out the current time and view the date, while also having at your disposal details concerning the battery charge status, wireless and cellular network signal strength and more.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
Despite the fact that it looks and moves quite well, the app has the disadvantage of being plagued by endless streams of advertisements. |
Function5
The basic feature set of the utility is not enough for it to score to points, especially since it has the advanced features locked. |
Security7
Cyanogen Lockscreen Free needs to look inside a few sensitive ares of the system like the phone dialer, owner and phone identities for no good reason. |
Battery8
The application seems to need a relatively small amount of power to function correctly, so the battery usage is moderate. |
Price9
The features brought about by this application are free to use, but the nagging ads will only go away from the lock screen after rating and reviewing the app. |
Compatibility8
Only those who own a Windows Phone 8.1 device can try out this application onto their handsets, as it doesn't have other special requirements. |
