Note: This application uses Google's Licensing Library (LVL) which means your device must have Android Market installed and periodically connect to the internet.
To uninstall: If you've enabled Device Administration for the lockscreen, you need to disable it before uninstalling. Uncheck the permission in-app or go to Settings -> Location and Security -> Select device administrators and uncheck Virtual Button Bar.
