Been playing with it for an hour now. No issues unlocking with the fingerprint scanner. I see the default lockscreen for a few milliseconds after ending a call, but that's fine.

I'm also using ADW EX, and WL seems faster to my home screen than the standard lockscreen. I don't miss the text about swiping your finger to unlock - I think it adds another layer of security against people unfamiliar with the phone who don't know it has a fingerprint scanner.

Damn, its such a relief to have my old lockscreen back. Didn't feel 100% about this phone until now. I felt sandboxed in and now I'm back on the block, baby!
[Android Apps and Games] TheKorbenDallas:
Another strange behavior that seems to be specific to the new version of WidgetLocker:

I have a bunch of repetitive alarms set up on my myTouch 4G in the standard Clock application (myTouch 4G, HTC Sense ROM, LauncherPro Plus). When an alarm goes off, the phone normally shows a dialog offering two choices: "Dismiss" or "Snooze". If the phone was sleeping at the time, it automatically wakes up and the aforementioned Dismiss/Snooze dialog is shown on top of the lockscreen. This is how it used to work with old WidgetLocker. This is how it often does work with the new version as well.

However, from time to time it works differently. When the alarm goes off, the phone wakes up and shows a normal WidgetLocker screen, without any dialogs on it. The alarm keeps ringing but there's no Dismiss/Snooze dialog on the screen. Instead, there's an alarm notification icon in the notification bar. I can drag down the bar to open the notifications and click on the alarm notification. It will finally take me to some empty screen with the familiar Dismiss/Snooze dialog.

I don't know what triggers that alternative behavior. I'd say that the normal expected behavior is when the Dismiss/Snooze dialog always appears right away superimposed over the lockscreen, so that one can immediately dismiss or snooze the alarm, without having to jump through the notification hoops.
[Android Apps and Games] Cret:
I unfortunately had that same behaviour this morning with the alarms and it nearly made me throw my phone at the wall because I just could not turn it off.

Had my 1 year old in the bed with me and the mrs and he's teething & had a really bad night. Had just about got him off to sleep at 7am when the alarm went off and I just couldn't find a way to shut it off with no dialog apart from going into all the volume settings, then afterwards rebooting the phone.

Kind of funny now, but at the time I was ready to go mental after a fairly sleepless night and screaming infant!

So it'd be nice if that could be sorted. That's assuming it is actually down to WL, but seems a coincidence.
[Android Apps and Games] byrong:
Are you using a sense rom? And if so, did you delete (or freeze) the htclockscreen apk? This is known to result in an alarm that you cannot dismiss. Try using the vanilla clock for your alarm (or another alarm app) and you should no longer have a problem
[Android Apps and Games] byrong:
Sorry guys - I just reread and it sounds like you are experiencing something slightly different than what I thought. Still, it would be worth trying a non-sense alarm.

Also any chance you are using the "disable stock lock screen" option under advanced in WL?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
myTouch 4g alarm

Basically HTC made a mess of the alarm and it's relatively easy for nothing to catch it and for it to go off forever until you reboot the phone (This can happen even without WL). WL handled this well for original Sense (Desire, Incredible, Evo) but not for HD (Desire HD, Desire Z) as HTC did something different specifically with the PIN. I think the myTouch 4g is beging classified as Sense HD but should actually be treated as Orig Sense. WL is using the HtcLockScreen.apk to determine which version it is.

As the other poster asked, do you guys have the HtcLockScreen.apk or had you removed it? If you have it could you send it to me (I can grab it out of a stock rom myself, but it'd save some time if you can easily grab it and email it).

Great app, thank's a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] Brett3rThanU:
Pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but I take it WidgetLocker isn't compatable with CM7 "gestures" since it replaces the CM7 lockscreen? I want to change the default clock on my lockscreen, but can't give up lockscreen gestures.
[Android Apps and Games] bazhip:
Unfortunately not, sorry. I feel the same way... I wish it had the best of both worlds.

This app seems to mess up my sms notifications. I have to read the message sometimes 3 times and open and close the app to get it to go away. It only happens when this app is installed. I'm using the stock Incredible messages app
[Android Apps and Games] Killer2k8:
Hello, i have a desire with MIUI and bought widgetlocker.

I have a small problem with the stock SMS POPUP that miui has.

i did not succed to hide it (to appear under wl).

I did try this:

Settings-> popups->Hide other: com.android.mms

Settings-> popups->Hide other: com.android.launcher

neither one worked, only one time i managed to make it work somehow, but when the sms arrived the popup appears for 2 seconds then dissapears and now i can't at least make it to do that.

does anyone have this problem?

edit: solved somehow, you must check the first option "Hide chompsms/handcent" so that hide other to work

Hi I'm rooted and I've used roothelper but the 5-second rule still occurs. Any idea why?

SMS Popup issue

I'm having an issue with SMS Popup and WidgetLocker when used in conjunction with each other. It sounds like I'm not alone from other posts I've seen here. Hopefully if we can get enough information pooled, the devs can find a solution.

In my case, I've got SMS popup set to give the following options in the notification: 'Reply', 'Inbox', and 'Close'. In my experience, only 'Close' seems to have any effect.

I'm also running the stock Android pattern unlock, which worked fine with SMS Popup prior to installing WidgetLocker. My guess here is that WidgetLocker is preventing SMS Popup from seeing the Adroid unlock screen, so it just sits there.

My software versions are as follows:

Android 2.2 running on HTC G2

SMS Popup 1.1.0

WidgetLocker 2.0

I've posted my information on an existing trouble ticket with the SMS Popup devs, but I'm not being allowed to link to it so if you'd like that information, please PM me and I'll get you the link.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Qwest905:
can anyone help me what resolution size i should be using for an alternate wallpaper,

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] MasK:
Likewise. Using the GalaxyS and unlocking quickly right after locking causes my stock lockscreen to be displayed before WL takes over. I'm not sure is this is what you mean by bypassing the 5-second rule.
[Android Apps and Games] dydbg:
Sorry for the spam, but how long does it take to receive the apk file after the purchase with PayPal? It is my first with PayPal so sorry for the question. I've bought it at 15:19:19 EET or 3 hours ago.

Maybe it is not may job to mention it, but the changelog on the site haven't been updated from Nov 2010.
[Android Apps and Games] crunkhead18:
awesome app
[Android Apps and Games] MasK:
It's as fast as you downloading any free app. Not sure about PayPal.. I purchase with a debit card.

I kinda hate the fact Google reduced the refund time from 24hrs to 15mins. For an app like WL.. has so many settings and require alot of time to check for compatibility.. 15mins is not enough.

I kinda wanna refund it but.... times uP!:(
[Android Apps and Games] dydbg:
Sorry, my mistake. I ment to receive it to my e-mail address.
[Android Apps and Games] jtyphoid:
I thought that I read somewhere that the pattern unlock would allow me to skip the stock slider, but that's not what I'm seeing on my D2. I have to slide the stock slider with either PIN or pattern. Is that the expected behavior?
[Android Apps and Games] jtyphoid:
WidgetLocker, ICE, and PIN/pattern lock

One of the reasons that I purchased WidgetLocker was to put an ICE icon on my lock screen for emergencies.

That worked great until I had to turn on either the PIN or pattern lock to protect my business email. Now, when I tap the ICE icon, the app won't run until the PIN or pattern are used to unlock the phone. That kind of defeats the purpose of the ICE app.

Is there some way around this that I'm missing?

Along those same lines, there are other functions on my phone that I don't really need to hide behind the PIN or pattern lock, like placing calls and google maps. It would be great to be able to specify for each item on the WidgetLocker screen whether it should be allowed to execute without requiring the PIN/pattern unlock.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Isn't there a way to password protect your e-mail? Hmmmm, interesting problem, I'm also watching to see an answer.
[Android Apps and Games] Royan:
Check out App Protector on the market.

I've used the lite version before, and it worked as advertised.

hmm.. or was it maybe Lock Free i used? Same developer anyway...

Difference between the two: here

PS: If you already have Tasker, it's possible to set it up to protect specific apps as well
[Android Apps and Games] Cret:
Sorry for the slow reply to this Kevin.

Afraid I don't have it anymore as I had overwritten it with a different version to try and get a more useful lockscreen.

Thought it had begun behaving ok but I just set an alarm for a minute or so ago and again, it couldn't be turned off. Appreciate your comments about it being possible to happen even without WL but I haven't experienced that personally. Guess I need to grab a 3rd party alarm clock app of some sort - shame as I actually like the built in one.

Still getting unlocks in my pocket, which is frustrating. I'll have to work my way through the different slider versions available but would really LOVE it if that Xperia quarter circle one could be added in!;)
[Android Apps and Games] xxxdc5:
soooooo???? anything kevin?
[Android Apps and Games] hachoo:
dunno if anyone can answer this, but i'm using doubletwist as my media player and i've turned on the 'lock screen' option to control playback from lock but the screen no longer comes up. I haven't hidden any part of the app in widgetlocker or disabled anything. Any clue?
[Android Apps and Games] jacksonywl:
HTClockscreen.apk

Dear Kevin,

I emailed you regarding the alarm issue.

1st alarm > Menu shown (snooze/dismiss)

Press Snooze then the menu wont show after the snooze period, forcing me to reboot.

Attached here is the Desire HD htclockscreen.apk extracted from "HD2 Rafdroid HD" as you requested. Hope you can do something about it =)
[Android Apps and Games] Homesnake:
I think a few posts back the developer said it was a bug that will be fixed in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] Androidboy35961:
I need to get this for my device, but to bad it doesn't work..lol
[Android Apps and Games] jtyphoid:
Thanks for the suggestions. Those can probably get me close to what I want, but they're approaching it from the opposite direction and would be a lot more effort to configure since I want to protect everything except a select few apps.
[Android Apps and Games] dydbg:
Is it possible to answer to a call with slide instead with a button? This is my default answer mode and i like it, but the program changes it. Can you tell me what settings must be used for slide answer to work. If it matter i am using LauncherPro Plus and Perfect task switcher. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I haven't heard this from anyone else and I'm not sure how WL could be involved. An app should clear it's notification when that app is launched, regardless of any state of the lock screen. The only thing i could possibly think of is disable Easy Wake Mode if you have it, but I really don't see how that would matter. Wish I could be more helpful.

I ended up using the myTouch 4g port to the Nexus One to debug/test this.

ICE by Serra-apps will display on top of the security lock screen without issue. I've worked with the dev, he's very responsive.

Motorola is funny. 2.0.1 should improve this situation though for pattern.

It's manual, can be around 24 hours. Updating website's changelog is secondary to updated the app. Been busy.

I'll take a look at this. I have a Desire HD to test on which will make it easier. I am going to need that Settings > Report bug from you though as I couldn't reproduce with my settings.

HTC? They determine the screen based on if the stock lock screen is active. Easy Wake Mode disables the stock lock screen, disabling Easy Wake Mode should restore the slide to answer.
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
The idea with the notifications via the ADWNotifier is really good, but I have two big problems:

1. The notification bubble is toooo small. I miss a font size option. The ADWLauncher already has such an option.

2. If I unlock the device and open an app with an notification bubble the notification bubble disappears from the launcher, but not from WidgetLocker. I have to open the app from within WidgetLocker to remove the bubble.

I don't know if this happens with every app, but at least with the official Twitter app this is the case.
[Android Apps and Games] xxxdc5:
I'm not sure either but I've tested it twice now with my ROM before it's installed and then after and then uninstalling again and it's only present when WidgetLocker is in use/installed. Easy Wake is also already disabled. Not sure what would be going on
[Android Apps and Games] jacksonywl:
Dear Kevin,

I "reported bug" to you already. Do check and see if you received it! Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Gizzelle:
Since updating I find pressing the Home button on the Desire wakes up the phone and closes Widget Locker almost simultaneously.

Previously the "Home button is disabled in lock mode" message would display when waking the phone with the home button.

Any settings that have changed/ I can change that will fix this?

(I have tried to read through the last few pages so apologies if this has been addressed previously)
[Android Apps and Games] CrisisJake:
Definitely one of my favorite apps. Bravo.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Missed it at first because I ignore bug reports coming from outdated, pirated, leaked betas. I'm not investigating unless I hear of such a bug from a paying user on the official 2.0.0 or official 2.0.1betas. I don't appreciate my time being wasted on bug reports from pirated versions, especially if said version is also a beta.

Will be fixed in 2.0.1.

Or you can configure the HomeHelper (This is how it was working previously, but may cause launcher reloads). HomeHelper is in Settings > Advanced > HomeHelper, also turn on HomeHelper Block Home and then hit select System Home and select the HomeHelper there.
[Android Apps and Games] JamesC_:
Not sure if this has been posted, but when using the chompSMS popups and using an App protector (So you need to use a pattern/password to view the app) causes WidgetLocker to crash sometimes after receiving an SMS :)
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Can you go into WidgetLocker Settings and long-press the Volume Down key, this brings up the Experimental menu, go in there and check the "Email FC Reports"? With this, after a crash an email will popup to me with the crash log and you can type the details. If I saw this crash in the Market crash reports I wouldn't know it could be reproduced with ChompSMS and App Protector, but you can let me know that in the email :)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Blizzagen:
I'm always interested in this app, but whenever I go to check it out again or appbrain or zoom, there are always reviews talking about how it is a CPU hog or a huge battery drainer.

Is this stuff true/still true/true at all?
[Android Apps and Games] m3thods:
just had it for a couple of days on my captivate, and it's soooo worth the money. not at all a hog- currently 18 hours into a charge with 56% battery left with light usage (email/surfing while in class, the odd 5 minute game)

I was also wondering there will be notification support for LauncherPro? I don't use ADW and would like to know if I receive a call/sms without having my notification bar visible at the lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
It's a great program and no, I don't see it as any kind of CPU hog or a huge (even a regular) battery drainer, I'msure that depends on how much you load it up with widgets. Get it, you won't be sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] byrong:
I've been using WL for about 6 months now and have never once seen it draining my battery. I've used at least half a dozen different roms (both Sense and AOSP), more kernels than I can count, and set my device up in all kinds of ways. WL is one of the very few apps that has consistently stayed with me, and I've never once seen it show up in my battery stats as a noticeable factor. For a specific reference, here are some screencaps of my battery usage from a few weeks ago: notice that WL is nowhere to be found in the apps list

I can't say that no one has ever had battery issues with WL, but like the poster above, I'd be inclined to believe it's more an issue of the widgets that people put on it.

...and anyone who has read a few of my posts (like the ones in my sig), know that I'm pretty observant when it comes to my battery :p
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
Yeah, this application is battery draining, overnight my battery drained around 30-40%!
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
You know this how? You know it isn't the widgets you've got on the Widgetlocker lock screen. There's a difference.

While its possible i missed it, i didn't see anyone post this bug. I am on my phone though. But sometimes i have to "unlock" the phone twice before it actually unlocks. As in i have to slide to the unlock position once, and then again, and THEN my phone unlocks.

Epic 4g running Eb13, rooted. In case it helps.

I do love this app though :)
[Android Apps and Games] raphifix:
Yes, there is. Go in into Settings>Look & Feel>Layout, and drag the double-sided arrow on the Nexus One picture all the way to the bottom (or down to the first row, whichever you prefer).

Nice app can you please upload it to Androidpits (androidpit.com) App Center because they have pay pal payement
[Android Apps and Games] Spitemare:
The battery charging widget on Motorola phones currently displays the battery percentage in 10% increments. Some widgets, Minimal Text for example, can display the battery percentage in 1% increments on Moto phones. I presume that these widgets are using this method (at least just reading from /d/battery/charge_counter) for reading the battery percentage. Is this something that could be done in WidgetLocker?
[Android Apps and Games] cryogenic666:
Without having to read all 95 pages of this thread, I thought I'd chip in with something odd I've noticed. When I have Widgetlocker enabled, my phone will lock up and quick reboot when it goes to sleep. It doesn't happen every single time, but it just goes to sleep and refuses to wake up. Then eventually, it decides to just do a short reboot (no initial boot logo, only the second one). I've had the same issue on both Liberty 1.5 and Fusion (based on Fission). I disabled WL about 24 hours ago and haven't had the problem since. I can only assume that there's an option I have enabled that I shouldn't or something I can change. I'm running a Droid X, rooted, with Fusion 2.0 ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] lambasurm:
i see an odd bug between the 2.0rc2 and nexus one

while locked, any movement of the trackball is registered and after unlocking, the first icon on the bottom dock is always highlighted

it's not a serious problem, i know, but seriously annoying

i hope i made myself clear enough, had too many pints earlier ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
What do you mean? I only have widgetoid widgets on the lockscreen. That's all.
[Android Apps and Games] byrong:
bryant_16,

The issue is that you are making a strong claim about WL being a battery hog without providing any substantiation whatsoever. As I mentioned in my post before, I have been using WL for 6 months, keep a hawk eye on my battery, and have never once seen it cause a problem.

You are making the claim that WL drained your battery "around 30-40%" in one night. As this runs contrary to the experience of others, some documentation would lend credibility to your statement. For example, you could show a screencap of your battery stats, which should clearly show WL as consuming massive amounts of power.

If WL was as much of a hog as you state, then it should mean that most other users would have experienced the same thing. On the contrary, it seems that only a tiny minority report this. This could mean that they are using odd settings for WL that don't interact well with their system, or it could mean that they are mistakenly blaming WL for another problem that is draining the battery. Hard to say without better info.
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
There really should be a free version of this. For the people(like me) who can't buy apps for their phone.

Sent from my always stock, froyo Epic
[Android Apps and Games] gsu_golfer:
Well, free apps are not a right.

However, there should be a trial version, simply due to the high number of things you appear to be able to do with this. No way to try it out in 15 minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] jcarley0830:
I just might have to give this a shot. I don't much like the htc lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
Exactly what i was meaning. Not really complaining, just suggesting. I think it would be good for the dev. People try a limited demo, with ads in the settings, with some good features, like it, then buy the full version for all of the features and no ads.
[Android Apps and Games] BanziBaby:
Widgetlocker affecting screen when charging

Hi,

Hopefully the dev will see this,

Had issue with galaxy s in that screen would stay on while charging unless I pressed the power button but when sleeping & the batter was fully charged the screen would come back on & stay on all night.

Spent all day yesterday wiping phone & reinstalling each app one by one & testing with the charger, the screen would go off when charging untill I installed Widgetlocker & rebooted the phone, now the screen stay on all the time when charging.

It has only been doing this since the v2 update for Widgetlocker.

Just wondered if the dev knows if this is a known issue on stock galaxy S JPY firmware & how to solve it, Widgetlocker has the default custom timeout of 15 seconds.

Cheers,

BB.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I may do this at some point, but the paid version of WidgetLocker alone takes a lot of time to develop and support. I can't justify the time for a free version right now.

Sounds unrelated to WidgetLocker. Check System Settings > Applications > Develpment >Stay Awake.

And blame Samsung for waking up your phone with a popup window to tell you it's fully charged (I don't understand why they do that...).
