Biometric App Lock 1.5

Biometric App Lock 1.5

New

• Samsung Auto Blocker step: on Samsung phones with One UI 6 or newer, setup now checks Auto Blocker and explains the parts that affect this app. Blocking apps from unauthorized sources stops app updates, and Maximum restrictions prevents uninstall protection. A button takes you to Auto Blocker settings. App locking works either way, and you don't need to turn Auto Blocker off completely. If the status can't be read, the step is shown as a manual check.
• Compact uninstall protection card: after you've seen the full explanation once, it shrinks to one line. Tap Details to read it again.
• Credit link: "Made by Achilles Rogan" at the bottom of the main screen opens the project's GitHub. The app still has no internet permission.

Notes

• The Auto Blocker shortcut uses Samsung settings screens that aren't officially documented. If it can't open them, it falls back to Security settings.

Biometric App Lock 1.4

Biometric App Lock 1.4

New

• Uninstall protection (optional): turn on the device-admin switch and a strong fingerprint is required to uninstall a locked app or this app, force-stop or clear storage for them, or turn the protection off. The admin requests no lock, wipe or password permissions.
• Guided setup: a checklist takes you straight to each setting the app needs (fingerprint, restricted settings on Android 13+, accessibility, uninstall protection, battery exemption) and moves ahead on its own as you finish each one. You can reopen it anytime from "Review setup".
• Locked apps first: locked apps are now listed at the top, and both groups are sorted alphabetically.

Notes

• Updating from 1.3 may turn the accessibility service off. The setup checklist will show you where to turn it back on.
• Uninstall protection can be bypassed in safe mode or over ADB, and it's tuned for AOSP, Google, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO and OnePlus installers.
• The app uses fingerprint only (strong biometrics). There's no PIN fallback.
• Optional ADB setup steps are in docs/ADB_SETUP.md.
