Replicate LG’s Knock Code on Other Android Phones

Knock Code is a unique security feature of LG’s Android smartphone that lets you conveniently unlock your phone by just tapping a customized pattern on the screen using one hand. Now you can replicate LG’s Knock Code security feature on other phones running on Android 4.2 and later.

There is no need to say about securing your phone from unauthorized access. To stop your personal data falling into the wrong hands, you need to secure your phone using any security feature available with your phone. PIN, Pattern and Password are Android’s default security feature, but unlocking using these are a tedious process.

LG’s Knock Code enables you to unlock the phone conveniently with a simple onscreen knock pattern. It is the perfect combination of convenience and security. Now it is possible to replicate this on your non-LG device.

In order to use Knock Code on your non-LG device, you need to be rooted phone running on Android 4.2 and later and have the Xposed Framework installed. Read this article to know how to install and set up Xposed Framework on your phone.

Knock Code Installation Guide:
