In essence, MiLocker is the lockscreen aspect of the MIUI ROM extracted to work on all devices. Ranging from the popular 5-way lockscreen to the one based on Android’s latest OS, Ice Cream Sandwich, MiLocker sports plenty of free, downloadable lockscreens and lockscreen wallpapers.
Once MiLocker is installed, launch the app from the app drawer to access its online store, download and apply lockscreens. On its main interface, you have a couple of tabs: My Lockscreen, which lists all installed lockscreens and Online Lockscreen, which displays Latest and Hottest lockscreens from the online library under respective tabs. There is also an option to manually search for lockscreens.
Once you find a theme that catches your eye, just tap its thumbnail and hit the Apply button. You can choose to apply just the theme and not the wallpaper. You can also change the wallpaper later by selecting Set lockscreen wallpaper from the app’s settings screen.
As of now, MiLocker has a few compatibility issues with certain apps and screen resolutions. Also, if you aren’t Chinese, you might not be able to search for certain themes by name. However, these little issues are insignificant before the functionality that the app provides, and hopefully, will be resolved in future updates.
The app is undoubtedly one of the best of its kind on the Android Market (others being GO Locker and MagicLocker). If you haven’t used the MIUI custom ROM yourself, you might not be able to appreciate the app as much. To get an idea of some of the kinds of lockscreens the app will be featuring, view our compilation of 20 Awesome MIUI Lockscreens.
The app is free in the Android Market and requires Android OS v2.3 or higher to run. Download MiLocker from the Android Market or the QR code provided below.
