I'll see what I can do, the issue with this is theres no official way to pull music info so it depends on the player to broadcast an intent to say if a track is playing or has changed,, I'll see if I can find one for the Sony music player.. Calls in now fixed along with a few others, I'll upload a new release later on today once I've had time to test it.

By system lock are you referring to a pin/pattern or just the normal slider? And back button does, I thought I had fixed that I'll do it for the next release.

Appreciate the feedback guys keep it coming :)
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:

[Android Apps and Games] WestSybeGames:
Good app!!
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
New version's up.. fixed a bunch of bugs and made a bunch of optimizations.. changelog in the 2nd post would appreciate some feedback.. thanks :D
[Android Apps and Games] Fouanette:
Great app. It works great and looks real good except for one thing. It does not replace my normal sense lockscreen, so I have to unlock twice. That's for the latest version, the first one does it. I'm on an unrooted HTC DHD, on gingerbread. Keep up the good work.

[Android Apps and Games] Profool:
Ok.

Dark Theme doesn't work - having it enabled makes the lock screen appear, but it'll be completely devoid of any information that would appear if the setting was off. I.e., Time / Network appear with Dark theme OFF, don't with it ON.

Though you have fixed the null void bug, now it doesn't fetch song titles / artists at all, nor is it replaced with a placeholder text - THIS DOESN'T BOTHER ME. It adds to the minimalism of the lock screen. But if you still want, I could give you the apk / name if you so desire.

There is a buggyness with the lockscreen as a whole. I'm going to assume that its tied to the Android OS having a native setting enabled? Like, you can't have "None" as a security option and have Minimal Lockscreen just work? Because, that's what's happening to me, unfortunately. I'll have to unlock your lockscreen, then do the android OS's one; quite annoying.

*Edit* I seem to recall that the first version did this - this is probably the only gripe with the application honestly. Revert this, and you have something that's solid.

Another thing, the settings menu, though this is just me nitpicking, when I switch tabs, from settings to the "cosmetic" (for lack of a better word) tab, the screen will redraw the homescreen and flash between the selected tab and the homescreen for about 0.5ms. Similarly, I've noticed that on occasion, the lockscreen (your one) will fail to deploy, and when for example I'm going through my application drawer, the same redraw / flashing will occur.

Apart from that, it's quite good.

Maybe consider incorporating an alternative way to unlock it, or the ability to unlock from the "music" sub gesture menu? Possibly a vertical swipe? It's sorta tedious turning on your phone, double tapping, swiping till you get to a song, double tapping, then swiping again :P
[Android Apps and Games] Cyb0rgz:
I'm also HTC user. Got the same issue mentioned above.

1. In case of HTC, it would be nice if native lock screen is disabled. As of now, I have to unlock twice.

2. Not sure, this is related to my ROM. After swiping to unlock, there is some delay (~2sec) to launch the HTC lock screen.

3. In App settings, while switchover the tabs, have some kind of animation. It would be like to have normal transition (eg: youtube)

4. When music player is running in background, its not displayed in the lock screen(Could any other HTC users confirm?)

5. Yes, Dark theme doesn't work.

6. Contacts are not displayed in lockscreen. Does this app automatically pulls up top recent contact from contact history?

Since its beta, hope this this app would be released with stable full functional in near future.

Really it's great app. Thanks for your wonderful time in hearing the feedback from users.

Good luck dev!! :)

It doesnt worsk on Xperia P , stock ICS !!

It only shows wallpaper on the screen . nothing more than that. even tried locking screen with playing music in background. But only my phones default wallpaper is being shown and then pattern screen when pressed back button !
[Android Apps and Games] Qbsti:
wow, i was realy looking into it. after each unlock my widgets are restarting, plus now my app drawer is not showing any apps.

did i mention the lockscreen only show after the first unlock? during the second one it goes back to stock lockcreen.

[Android Apps and Games] tu3218:
I didn't see this in to be added, but I'm sure you know this. Option to change wallpaper. This seems really nice.
[Android Apps and Games] dirt:
Dark theme works for me... kinda hard to see due to my wallpaper, no big deal for me.

I'm also having the double lock screen issue.

NS4G running stock rooted jb

Screenshot doesn't show the info, but it is at the very bottom in black with the dark theme...
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into the random redrawing and I'm aware of the bug with it not showing if you don't have a default lock screen and will fix this in the next release.

Also I added an unlock gesture to the music screen, swipe down, I thought I put that in the changelog maybe I forgot..
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
If someone can give me the package name of their HTC music app I'll try and get the info showing..

As for the contacts on the lockscreen it shows missed call or sms contacts.. not frequent contacts..

The dark theme makes the text black so if (like me) you use a dark lockscreen you won't be able to see it..
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
New version is up.. reverted some changes so lockscreen should now be used if you disable the native one.. couple of other changes too..
[Android Apps and Games] Profool:
I can't help but feel this is directed at me :P

Apart from this, it's perfect.

EDIT* Disregard what I commented about it not opening the sms thread. It's working fine.

THIS IS PERFECT.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Haha na a few people have mentioned it so I just thought I should be clear..

And if you have the animate sms option checked it overrides the open thread on tap option..
[Android Apps and Games] Seanbest:
Works ok. Dark shows other lock screen. Also, how do I change the wallpaper?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Wallpaper used is your homescreen one.. I might add an option in the next release to use a custom one..
[Android Apps and Games] Seanbest:
Oh ok. Yeah I would like to use something other than my home screen. Then it might be perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] dirt:
Working as advertised for me. Dark theme or not, only this lock screen shows up for me. Make sure you have the system lock screen disabled...
[Android Apps and Games] Seanbest:
How exactly?
[Android Apps and Games] dirt:
If on jb or ics follow this:

System settings > security > screen lock > none
[Android Apps and Games] Abhiheart:
Works good on Xperia Neov ..The music notification problem is there : shows null for all songs : U said u will try to sought it out :) And multiple lockcreen problems > I get two lockscreen when unlocking ..SMS and miscall notification does occur ..but no action when double tapped to open ..Goes back to my stock lockcreen when i press home button ..other than that ..Good concept and a very simple ..good looking lockscreen app :)
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
You need to disable the stock lockscreen otherwise you will see two lockscreens..
[Android Apps and Games] yukimura12:
and what if i still stuck on GB? is there any option to disable stock lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
I've added an option in the upcoming release to disable the stock lockscreen for those of you who don't have that option on their rom..
[Android Apps and Games] bilton:
When I unlock with this application it open my stock lockscreen.

I'm on CM7.

However its work great !
[Android Apps and Games] loo432:
I was wondering if you could add the intent for Slacker radio so we could see the current song playing on the lockscreen

I know it can be done, CM9 had it available on their lockscreen. And with your lockscreen I can skip songs, just not see what is playing
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
I'll see if I can find the intent for that mate..

New versions up with the option to disable the stock lockscreen now :D
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Your right I just realized that.. I'll fix it tonight.. technically that's not a bug but a design 'feature' lmao
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
New version is up.. disables stock lockscreen buy default and fixed the settings closing itself issue.. feedback would be appreciated..
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
1.0 release is up.. most bugs have been fixed, added support for custom wallpaper..
[Android Apps and Games] swam1231:
Cool looking lockscreen. Thanks for this.

Custom wallpaper not seem to be working, at least for me. Can someone else back this up or let me know what wrong I am doing??

I enabled Custom Wallpaper option, then selected a picture using the Choose Wallpaper Image button.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
What version of Android and is it just one image or any image?
[Android Apps and Games] beankid:
ATT One XL with CleanRom 4.1 DE

I really like this lockscreen! However I am noticing some issues using it one ATT One XL with CleanRom 4.1 DE rom. When I lock the screen and a few seconds later unlock the screen the stock lockscreen comes up. This I assume is just a few issues with the rom I am using. Is there anyway I can help out to solve this issue for my rom/device and give back to the project?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Can you just clarify? When you lock and unlock meaning power button on off or meaning minimallock comes up, you unlock and then you see the stock lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] beankid:
That is correct, even when I lock the screen (power button off type of deal) and then come back to it , I see the stock lock screen. I had to uninstall and re-install the app to get the lockscreen to work again as well uninstall Hololocker. I have Also noticed that the music controls and information do not see to work with the sense music player at all on my setup as well.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Ah ok I see so it was working then it stopped.. Yeah this is a bug I realized today, normally happens if you use the home button to exit the lockscreen, if it happens again opening and closing the settings should fix it.. I've fixed this now, I'll upload tomorrow morning.. as for the sense music player can you give me the package name? I'll see if I can get it working..
[Android Apps and Games] Neffstarr:
Thanks appreciate your work
[Android Apps and Games] PatcheZ:
great idea.

haha, starting to love it already.

any way you can decrease of the screen timeout while the lock screen is enabled?

are there plans to add gmail or gtalk, calendar notifications as options?
[Android Apps and Games] Masinac:
When someone that I have in contacts sends me a sms everything is ok and I can see the notification, but when someone sends me one (or more) and I dont have him in contacts then I get no notification on lockscreen :/ ..beside that everything is fine.
[Android Apps and Games] swam1231:
Nexus S running Stock JB and it happens to any image I choose.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
In future versions possibly.. At the moment I want the get the main lockscreen and sms/call functionality solid.. still a few kinks to iron out and then I'll look into it.. As for the screen timeout can you explain what you mean?

Hmm.. I have some people texting and call me who I don't have in contacts and it shows the default image for me.. can you clear data and see if that fixes it? Also are you on the latest version?

Damn I'm on nexus s running stock and I got it working haha.. ok can you clear data and try again? Or even send me a logcat if you can? would be useful as I can't reproduce
[Android Apps and Games] Profool:
Something I've just noticed.

When "Show song information" is enabled, it sometimes won't show the information, until I've swiped to change the song - similarly, there seems to be some conflict between the song icon and the information - sometimes they work in harmony - sometimes they don't.

Additional to this, sometimes when neither of them are enabled, they will do what they're supposed to do, and the opposite will occur on occasion also.

Keep it up man :D
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
The info not showing until you change the song sometimes is something I can't help unforetunately. I can only get info when your music play sends it and most send it on metachanged which means on song change.. Sorry mate
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Just used the latest version of the app. Sorry if my words are reported before.

I am using Xperia Ray v.2.3.4

1) Music is not being shown on the lockscreen. I played music then lock the screen yet it doesn't show any info.

2) Possible to show message content beside avatar?

3) Tapping SMS avatar doesn't bring up the inbox.

4) Double tap to bring up the music controls. Only music icons appear. No text appear. Will upload screenshot soon.

Edit : Just read your post above. When I change music, still no text appear no matter how many times I change.

Sorry if my reports are repeated!
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
1) Can you give me your music apps package name

2) I'm looking into this as a possible enhancement

3) What does it do?

4) This is related to one. There is no universal way to retrieve now playing information it is entirely up to the music players to provide this. Some do and some don't. If you can give me the package name I can see if I it provides that info.

Just to note if the music info doesn't show up for anyone this isn't a bug.. If you provide the music app you use I'll see if I can add the intent for that however not all will provide now playing info..
[Android Apps and Games] Masinac:
Sorry my bad, I accidentally installed v0.6 what I had on my phone and haven't noticed. On v1 everything works just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
New version up.. 1.0.1

Fixed the bug some experienced where the lockscreen just stopped showing up..

If anyone has no info for their chosen music player please post the package name of the music player so I can add support for it to the lockscreen.. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
This is now on the market as a paid app however I will keep it free for xda users as a thanks for all the feedback and testing.. feel free to purchase it as a donation if you like though or leave a rating on the market :D

[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
New beta build is up with a new feature - Quick Preview

Now if you enable the quick preview option in settings it will display your sms or missed call on the lockscreen, if you tap the preview it'll open the thread or contact if it was a missed call, if you tap the contact photo again it'll clear that notification.. as always feedback is appreciated..
[Android Apps and Games] beankid:
crazyfool_1 The name of the sense music player is com.htc.musicenhancer . I will download the new version and test it out. I look forward to seeing this grow.

Update: I've installed the new beta and now the music playing shows up on the lock screen with one tap and play and pause with one tap yet doing this causes music to freeze and bug out, eventually causing the music application to restart. When I click the SMS notification the only thing that comes up is "null" and not the notification. I believe these issues are based on the gesture controls becoming confused between each other.
[Android Apps and Games] lordcloud1:
Very nice. I'd love if you could pick the area of the wallpaper to show. Big ones get squeezed.

Sent from my Galaxy S Threeeeeeeee!!!
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Thanks for the music name, I'll add it later on this evening, see if I can get that working. And yes please note that I realized this morning there is indeed a bug, if you listen to music every track change a null notification will popup.. I'll fix it this evening.. anymore feedback or feature requests would be appreciated.. I feel it is fairly stable now (minus that bug) so I'm happy to incorporate more..

And yes big wallpapers get squeezed I'll see if I can add a crop feature in a future release..
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Added htc enhancer intent.. if someone could test and let me know if it works as I don't have a htc.. Also fixed the notification bug..

I've decided to keep to my format of Lite and Pro so the latest build is now on the market, if you can grab it from there to keep up to date.. Pro version will support GTalk, Whatsapp and Calendar notifications amongst others.. Let me know if theres any other feature you'd like to see..
[Android Apps and Games] beankid:
No more free(/pro) version for xda followers and testers?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Most up to date version on the market is free mate.. there is no pro version as of yet thats a work in progress
[Android Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Maybe I am missing something but I cannot find the links/attachments anywhere on this thread for the beta versions....

You stated in your OP that the beta version(s) could be d/l from this thread (or purchased in the market).... The only thing I see is the market link on the OP but nothing else.
[Android Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Uhmm... I just checked the link on the OP and it says it is US$2.91
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Beta will be in the first post this evening.. previous beta was removed as it is now stable so I've have put it on the market and can you check again? I just went onto play store and that link is showing as free :/
[Android Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Now its free :)

Not sure what was going on but thank you for looking into it :)

Gonna take it for a test drive and you are about to get featured in the Portal btw ;)
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
No worries lemme know how you get on.. and Portal :D
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Market version updated..

- Quick view bug fix

- Better handling of sms + missed call notifications for the same contact

- Some other minor bug fixes

Pro Beta now in the OP.. Currently only has GTalk support, would appreciate some testing/feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] brainimpact:
Is it possible to add Twitter replys and direct messages count to lock screen?
[Android Apps and Games] :
A good one, but that would make it slightly less minimal since not everyone would use that features..

Nevertheless, more function doesn't hurt either
[Android Apps and Games] RBoek:
Hi, the pro beta version somehow doesn't do anything, leaves me without lock screen. Galaxy Note international version.
[Android Apps and Games] Profool:
Congrats on the feature on the portal :D

Perhaps, incorporate the ability to transition to the SMS thread after quickly previewing it?

Lockscreen > SMS Preview > SMS Thread?

*EDIT*

Realised that's slightly redundant as you can already do that by tapping again on the contact picture... :D

*EDIT2*

Wait no, I just realised that either isn't (was never) implemented, or I'm just silly. Either way, requesting this!
[Android Apps and Games] wog81:
AWESOME!!! Love it! Have a few suggestions:

1. Weather - temp, local, condition - Maybe tap specific area to show...

2. Date instead of network

Keep up the good work!

great lockscreen downloaded it only problem it doesnt show up as the lock screen ideos u8150 cm9

i like it, thanks

Same problem (not showing minimal lock) here with LG P990 CM7.2.
[Android Apps and Games] hauntedhunter:
awesome

loving it so far . it's really good :)

need these features :

1.12 hour clock

2.Date

3.If possible the text ( like battery level , time ) etc customization in terms of font,size,color etc

All in all, very impressed. Kudos to the dev(s) :good:
[Android Apps and Games] jeev_one:
Really nice

Its really nice

But on my Galaxy Ace 2, it skips the lock-screen if I press the hardware home button.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Thanks for the feedback guys appreciate it.. As for peoples questions..

- You can transition from preview to sms thread - just tap the preview :D

- 12 Hour clock option has been added in the next release as it was mentioned a bunch of times in google play reviews (wish people wouldn't do that lol)

- Text size, font and ,color options will be added in the next few releases

- Twitter, Facebook, GTalk, Whatsapp, Gmail, Email and... Calendar support will all be in Pro - PM me if you want to be a tester, I've decided to keep this thread just for the lite version

NOTE: The beta build listed in the OP was broken and has since been removed.. You can get the app from the market or PM if you want to be tester for the Pro version :)
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
some more issues:

rotating the screen turns off music mode.

and if you leave music mode it forgets what track is playing, if you go back to music mode it will not show track info until you pause the music or a new track loads.

the above 2 also cause track information to be lost if you rotate the screen.

home button unlocks the lockscreen.

on devices with only virtual buttons or separate capacitive buttons it's not really a problem, but as jeev_one mentioned it is a problem for samsung galaxy phones for which the home button is also used for turning the screen on.

and there's the usual problem of the default lockscreen sometimes loading first, but that's almost unavoidable because android has no real support for lockscreen replacements.

and any chance tablets will be supported in the future?

my archos A43, Advent Vega, and galaxy tab 2 7" all show as incompatible.

if they are supposed to be listed as compatible it could be because of the permissions, i've seen how sms and phone related permissions can cause the play store to list apps as incompatible with all wifi-only devices.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
The music stuff unfortunately I can't help.. there is no official API for getting the currently playing track, for most music players I can get that information when the track is changed.. I'll see what I can do about rotation though..

And yes the home button unlocks.. this also I cannot help.. there is no way to override this in Android it is a failsafe, home always goes home. WidgetLocker also has this issue however it can be worked around by temporarily setting the lockscreen as the home screen in code at which point home will do nothing.. I may look into this in the future but atm home will go home. Sorry :(

Also yeah tablets will be supported in the next release..

[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Takes a while to filter through mate.. I'd guess it should be there in the next half an hour or so..
[Android Apps and Games] hauntedhunter:
Now you know I love this app :p:thumbup:

Will have feedback then... Kudos!
