Suggestions and questions

Hi astoncheah,

I have sent you an email a month ago with questions/suggestions, but I think I should ask you at here.

First of all, Thank you very much for developing such a great locker app. I've been using C Locker Pro for years and it completes my smartphone customization.

I've set up a new look of my phone by connecting C Locker, KLWP, KWGT, and Tasker. The result is great now, but I think it would be far better if some features are supported by C Locker.

Please let me know it they are already possible in some ways. If not, I would like to suggest them for the next update.

It would be long a bit so I hide them below.

1) Is there any method that I can detect when C Locker is properly unlocked?

I have a PIN unlock in C Locker. And I have set up KLWP live wallpaper with some objects to be displayed only at the lockscreen. So, to show/hide them, I need a status variable indicating whether display is locked or not. If I use system lockscreen, it is available by default in a KLWP. But I have disabled it for C Locker so I need workaround for it.

I tried using the Shortcut Apps Opening Listener intent but it is not working as I expected. My unlock method is SWIPE UP; the listener intent is triggered when I swiped the screen, not after I put my PIN and properly unlocked the C Locker.

I am currently using a bypass method by detecting appearance of the launcher app . However it is not always work accurately. If it is possible to get an intent sent by C Locker when unlocked, it would be the best case.

2) Landscape widget grid

I tried to build a lockscreen widget layout that work for both portrait and landscape directions.

I first set up the widget grid by 2x4 in portrait mode. When the screen is turned to landscape, the grid is changed to 4x2 grid, by truncating below two horizontal lines and showing two new vertical lines at the right side of the screen, which can't be configured in C Locker settings.

Later I set up the grid by 4x4, place widgets, and reset grid by 2x4. By doing this I was configurable the two vertical lines shown in landscape mode. But this is far from what I expected. It feels exploiting bug of C Locker, and it restricts layout by sharing top-left section of the layout in both directions.

Will it be possible to have different grid configuration for landscape mode?

Or will it be possible to make the grid just shrink into the screen, without cropping or expanding grids by direction? It is not a favorable solution for me, but I can do something other if grid setting is fixed along directions.

3) Live wallpaper scrolling control

I have three pages in my locker with wallpaper scrolling option. It is integrated with KLWP live wallpaper to show different configuration for each page. C Locker is also set up to show the same live wallpaper by "use system wallpaper" option. My idea was to share the first page layout between my launcher and C Locker.

However, when I lock my screen at the 2nd page of the launcher, C Locker also shows 2nd page layout for its wallpaper. Apparently, live wallpaper displayed in C Locker is still controlled by launcher, not by C Locker.

Will there be any option to lock the live wallpaper scrolling in C Locker? For example, force applying specific page number for live wallpaper.
