Android equivalent of Fake Windows Update Lockscreen

Description

I was hit by this idea few minutes ago while studying chemistry. I was wondering what if we could pin the app to the screen and disable any interaction and display a fake but realistic looking Android is updating recovery screen. And the user has ability to set key combinations to get out of it (unlock it). This would be a life saver for those who hate people trying to get into your phone while you're away.

@zubin10 Right but this would be essentially a lock screen that looks like an update, if I understand it correctly.

It'd be installed as a binary, not in webview.

I think disabling navigation bar, notification bar and hardware buttons is not possible with user level permissions. But with root, yeah sure if it's an option? I'd be interested.

@joas What if, we use a dirty cow binary to get root access? Most devices are still unpatched.

@moghir2004 Yeah, that's what I'm planning onto.

@moghir2004 I got the action you described working. It would start activity when screen off broadcast is recieved and would be shown on screen on before keyguard. Now I'm working on blocking input events to other applications.

Yeah, let's do it

I just figured out how to intercept all the input events.

@moghir2004 I start creating my already mentioned features to the repo.

Should we have some sort of communication channel other than devRant?
