Locket-Bring news to your lock screen

Android being opensource allows one of the most flexible customizability options relative to the other operating systems.

The home screen, through various launchers can be beautified to one's own taste and liking just through a selection of multiple launchers available at the play store.

But there lies a canvas still not accessed by many but on the verge of complete exploration in terms of customisation and information exchange to the user, omitting the access to the home screen.It is the Lock screen.

The Lock screen of a smartphone has nowadays become more of a productivity tools than being a mere old mundane security tool.
