Screen locking/unlocking is important for modern smart phones to avoid the unintentional operations and secure the personal stuff. Once the phone is locked, the user should take a specific action or provide some secret information to unlock the phone. For the security of these phones we propose a new android based application called NextGenLock which is used to provide lock to mobile phones.This application consists of two unlocking mechanisms which are finger placing unlocking mechanism and mobile shaking unlocking mechanism.In this application for placing the fingers the screen is divided into number of rows and columns as per the screen resolution.User has to place the fingers on the numbered blocks without lifting the fingers and shake the mobile in any of the directions i.eleft,right,up,down. The sensor which is inbuilt in android mobile phones is used for detecting the shaking action. .If the provided unlocking scheme is correct then the user will get the access to mobile phone .It is difficult to identify the unlocking scheme and it is simple and convenient to use.
