Pretty cool google phone unlocking method
So I was checking out my friends Google phone and the way you unlock it, like the way you slide for the iphone, is pretty sick!! If you havent seen it, it makes you draw a pattern to get to the homescreen. So I thought wouldnt that be cool to have that on my iphone. Well, what im really getting at is...would that be possible for a developer to make?

Yeah this has been mentioned before.
Im sure it would be doable....would take a daemon like intelliscreen prolly, but nothing has been released yet like that.

Its "nifty" but as Answer1o1 said its not very secure. I for one dont want to wipe of smudges from my screen after unlocking it, simply to maintain the "security" that it offers. Its a cool idea, but somewhat pointless.

I think you can add a security code after the unlock pattern, which makes it pretty secure, could just have been rumours about a future update though. my brothers got one, have a look tommorrow
