I recently got a Daylight DC-1 and am interested in changing the default incorrect lock screen delay from a static value to an increasing delay similar to the default in iOS, and also mimicking the ["Erase all data after 10 failed passcode attempts" setting](https://daringfireball.net/2018/05/10_strikes_and_youre_out) . > A 1-minute delay before the 5th attempt, 5 minutes before the 6th, 15 minutes before the 7th and 8th, and a 60-minute delay before the 10th. [Locker](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.zygotelabs.locker/) was able to erase data after a number of failed passcode attempts, but is no longer available, and was an incomplete solution without addressing the short delay since it could be invoked by accident. I found a [post from 2016](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/144805/increase-30-seconds-lock-time-after-incorrect-attempts) which recommends [LockScreen Tweakbox](https://xdaforums.com/f/xposed-general.3094/) , but that doesn't seem to be active anymore (there's no recent update and it's not available in the [xposed module repository](https://modules.lsposed.org/)) . Are there any suggested alternatives?
