This commit includes an updated, mostly refactored version of LockNote
for Windows Phone version 1.3. The last version released to the public
in 2014 was 1.2.

The app has been completely designed (back in 2014) to match a more
modern design approach, including the use of the user's accent color.

The live tile and logo have been redesigned while still trying to
recreate the original app icon. I don't have the original design
files anymore, so I had to recreate it to use the icons in higher
resolutions.

LockNote

Your text on your lock screen.

This repository contains the LockNote app for Windows Phone 8.1 released in 2014. With LockNote, you can set a custom text as "detailed status" for your lock screen.

Screenshots of final version (1.3)

I wrote the original code when I was around 16 years old. This repository contains code that has been largely refactored and will be further polished in the future.

Development

Requirements

Visual Studio 2015 (Community Edition works fine)
Windows Phone 8.1 SDK
Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 (GDR1) Emulators (optional) or an actual phone

If you want to use a real phone for development, make sure it's either registered as a developer device (which you cannot do anymore) or its bootloader is unlocked and XAP sideloading was activated using Xapload Unlocker.

To deploy XAPs, use the Windows Phone Application Deployment Tool bundled with the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK.
