Fake Unlock Screen

Fake swipelock is really a dotlock

Basically, you perform the same simple-yet-customizable gesture as you would with any "dot-lock" app, but it still LOOKS exactly like the standard swipe-to-unlock that comes with any android phone, right down to the animation that goes across as you swipe. This way, a thief doesn't even know to TRY and guess your dot-lock gesture, but just thinks your phone is broken.
