my favorite appli with launcher pro.

some request:

5 row and resize widget

Slider on the widget and where we want (like lockbot)

Custo icon for custo slider.

Option to block the slide of the notif bar.

count sms, email and call.

(live wallpaper if it's would be possible...)

sorry for my bad english.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Set the LW in your launcher if you want it, it'll work. Otherwise, LW inside of just the locker seems a bit too much IMO.

Notification bar can already be hidden, see the prefs.
[Android Apps and Games] sinjiyo:
Oh...block, no hide.

I know LW works...I use launcherpro and the live wallpaper don't work really good with. Also just on the lockscreen will be great i think. No?
[Android Apps and Games] xDanVitox:
Hey can you add an option to lock the status bar because I found out that if you have something selectable in there sometimes i feel like if i hit home it by passes the lockscreen and maybe an option to choose individual widgets to be interact-able or not because i feel like i can bypass like that as well?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
It's in the settings... Same as the previous post :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] sinjiyo:
Wooo. We would like to have a block status bar, not a hide status bar. That means show and block, like on stock.

Do you understand the diference?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Unfortunately the permission required to do this (android.permission.STATUS_BAR) is only available for system packages. The only options available are to display it and allow expanding, or to not display it.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Sorry I spoke up then, because nope, I don't ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Greenfieldan:
how come it occasionally will come up with the regular lock screen...then switch to the new one?
[Android Apps and Games] Kame_boy:
The regular lock screen activates when you push the power button to switch off. What widgetlocker does is that it quickly unlocks it when you switch on (you can see this using droid vnc server).

I use an app named "No Lock" from market that disables the regular lock screen completely.
[Android Apps and Games] sinjiyo:
Great.1.2.2 improves stability.

what's the next feature?
[Android Apps and Games] ImGeneralZod:
To the Dev:

I want to purchase WidgetLocker, will the above be implemented in a future release so I wouldn't need another app to do that?

Thanks,

GZ
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Scrollable Widgets are high on the list.

Using both is not necessary. The System Keyguard prevents hardware keys like the volume buttons or trackpad from waking up the system, so WidgetLocker takes advantage of it for this purpose. It may cause the System Keyguard to appear once in a while, but generally only if you turn the screen off and back on very rapidly. (Or you have Retain System Keyguard enabled, but the purpose of that is to make it appear more often so...)

If you don't want to prevent the hardware keys from waking the device (And get the added bonus of not seeing the lockscreen even if you screen off/on very rapidly) then:

Settings > Advanced > Easy Wake Mode

See above. There is no need for No Lock with WidgetLocker.
[Android Apps and Games] Greenfieldan:
I un selected allowing the home button to work, but it sill unlocks my phone when I use it.
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
Bit of a bug, but mainly down to me messing around with my phone :)

I use the LCD Density app to increase the pixel density on the screen of my HTC Desire, and the rotary slider (one of my favourites) doesn't display properly, taking up only a portion of the left side of the screen, and the right button falling off the rotary dial.

Attached a screenshot of the rotary unlocker, and the standard WidgetLocker one for reference. Even if it just centred onscreen and carried on to the bottom of the screen instead of cutting off it would be an improvement!

Also, could you add the ability to specify the number of rows/columns? That'd improve things for me too :
[Android Apps and Games] TobbenTM:
Could you add an option to disable waking the phone by pressing the volume buttons? As of now I can't change the volume in Spotify or DoggCatcher while Widgetlocker is running.

For those that were able to modd WL ... can u watch this short video i made of my process. As u can see i am desperate in getting this issue fixed. I hate when i cant figure something out. Maybe u can pinpoint what i am doing wrong and explain why i am getting that error at the end.

Hello sir,

Is it possible to add this puzzle lock?

A lot of people are searching for this lock.

I found a few system dumps that may help you with this lock.

[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
Kevin,

I'm using WL on Froyo 2.2 now, and my Samsung Galaxy S is flying along quite nicely. Much better than it did on 2.1.

It seems that WL takes a little longer to intercept the homebutton than it did when I was on 2.1 however. I'm getting quite a few instances where the 'slide to unlock' screen appears (for a second) instead of WL.

Is there any way of REPLACING the lockscreen, rather than intercepting?

Btw, I'm rooted, and using the root option, not home helper.

Thanks

Any update on a 1x1 unlocking method? :D

Or does anyone know of a way to do this via other means? (I tried shortcut to LauncherPro but that means it never unlocks to the app I was using last)

I love this idea :D

I've had this app for a few months, but the lag is just too much. If i turn widget locker off, unlock is basically instant and smooth. Using Launcher Pro.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Oops. You can switch your phone to English, change the setting to Motorola, then switch back to German (guessing from your icon). Or wait for 1.2.8.1 which is going to include a few fixes and I'll add this to the list.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Why do my posts go up here? I posted this after Icke_Minski's post. Database issues?
[Android Apps and Games] mixedlemon:
This may be a minor complaint, but I loved using the "No Slider" layout then adding an Unlock/NoSound slider to be able to put my music widget underneath it.

I'm loving the Motorola Sliders though, will you be able to implement a way to add Moto Sliders to the "No Slider" layout, or perhaps add an extra 4x1 space under the standard Moto Layout for my music widget?

Edit: That's weird, my replies are showing higher in the thread, too...
[Android Apps and Games] mixedlemon:
This is fantastic, I'm loving it with the new Motorola sliders.

Can't wait for the update to allow custom themes, I've been getting tired of decompiling/recompiling the .apk for every new update :p

Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] Icke_Minski:
I don't have a Motorola slider :( my Version is the 1.2.8

I see it in the changelog, but when I'm in the slideroptions there is no entry for Motorola slider.

And when i extract the apk, there are also pictures for the motorola slider, but why is there no entry in the options :(
[Android Apps and Games] Icke_Minski:
ok thank you, that works

ps. great app :D
[Android Apps and Games] stoske:
@mixedlemon

How do you make buttons dark?
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
EDIT:- That's one of the sliders available in your options, I forget which; experiment!
[Android Apps and Games] nfizree:
yea i want dark sliders too but couldn't find any option for that =/ someone pls help
[Android Apps and Games] mixedlemon:
It's just a modified version of the app I made to match the rest of my theme
[Android Apps and Games] stoske:
Did you modify just standard or maybe Android Rotary?

I like it very much....
[Android Apps and Games] mixedlemon:
They're both themed.

I can't post the apk though, as it's a paid app. The best I could do is post the .png files for you to add yourself.

This discussion should probably go here though, so as to not clutter the widgetlocker support thread. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] deaffob:
Hi, my widgetlocker suddenly starting to say that it is suspended in notification scroll down. It's not working now. Why is it suspended and how do I unsuspend it?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Gentle Alarm or Tasker? Possibly PowerAmp?

The app should responsibly unsuspend it, but otherwise you can disable/reenable WidgetLocker.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I use all three with Widget Locker, and I've never seen this.
[Android Apps and Games] il Duce:
theme support 1.3

hi kevin, i have a couple questions. in the market your app says theme support coming next version, could you elaborate? currently running cm6.1 rc1 and impaled blue theme which has the unlock/silent buttons themed blue, do you mean that a custom theme like that would apply to your lockscreen?

also, i got your app months back before i was rooted and had 2.1 with sense, and could not solve the lag with the stock lockscreen, so i uninstalled it, now that i have root, does your app REPLACE the one that the rom comes with to remove any lag?

thanks, you have a great app here, i look forward to using it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
I'm assuming that he'll have to introduce his own theming system, likely using the same method; using image files on his objects, but instead use a different directory for each theme, and refer to that when switching to a specific theme.
[Android Apps and Games] deaffob:
I just got it suspended again. I don't know what is causing this. I do use Gentle Alarm and PowerAmp but why would they cause WL to suspend?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
When they do their own lock screen replacement they can suspend WidgetLocker. It's a feature.

Can you email me and I can send you a test version that displays the process who suspended WidgetLocker to help track this down? I'm about to release 1.2.8.1 but if there's a bug on my end with regard to this I'd like to fix it. Maybe I'll also add an option to disable suspending.
[Android Apps and Games] bbmcgee:
I would like an option to disable suspending. I currently have PowerAmp set to Direct Unlock (Unlock directly to home screen, instead of system unlock), but it still unlocks to WidgetLocker.
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
Just a note to add; this same behaviour occurs with Handcent SMS's popup when it's in privacy mode with WidgetLocker on.
[Android Apps and Games] mikef1182:
Installed the latest version and have had zero home redraws in the last 3 days! Awesome work! love that I can use my G2's trackpad to wake the device!
[Android Apps and Games] bbmcgee:
I think I misunderstood what suspending does. Even with the new version 1.2.8.1, PowerAmp unlocks to WidgetLocker with suspending disabled in WidgetLocker and direct unlock to home set in PowerAmp. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Could this be a PowerAmp issue?
[Android Apps and Games] bbmcgee:
Display unlock event when screen turns on

I am using the latest WidgetLocker version, 1.2.8.1. I am rooted, running cm6. I have WidgetLocker set to root bypass. I have no slider and hide the notification bar.

I have a profile in Tasker that will activate with the display unlocked event. With WidgetLocker enabled, the tasker display unlocked event fires when the screen turns on. If I disable WidgetLocker, the Tasker display unlocked event fires as expected when the display is unlocked. This happens whether I have suspended disabled or not.
[Android Apps and Games] Tomdroid:
WL didn't get unsuspended after GentleAlarm this morning.

Also, PowerAmp seemed to have some issues since the last update (of PowerAmp), only showing the PA lockscreen after the 2nd screen on/off cycle.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Tasker includes third-party actions for WidgetLocker, you can use the WidgetLocker UNLOCK event here.

PowerAmp will need to directly support WidgetLocker or PauseMediator for this to work. I'm not sure that it does. I heard that it was working better after WL 1.2.8 which is why I assume it has some PauseMediator support, but perhaps it doesn't or it doesn't dismiss WL after it unlocks.

I'll contact the GentleAlarm dev about this.

[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Apologies if this is covered already, but the threads got a bit long to read through now :(

At the minute, when I boot up, I have two 'Fancy Widgets' when I only added one. If I remove one, the next time I boot I have none...

This happened before with a clock from Beautiful Widgets too :(
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I have the 4x1 Beautiful here, no problems. I haven't tried the new "Fancy Widgets", but I did have the old one and it worked fine in Widget Locker as well.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Usually it works fine for me, just twice I've got in this loop :( Maybe I should just re-install...
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Something else I notice, I had a live wallpaper yesterday. Today I changed to a regular wallpaper and the LWP image remained in WidgetLocker, I rebooted and it changed to the correct wallpaper, but then I had the double widget (on top of each other) again :(
[Android Apps and Games] borjus86:
it's possible to have a miui lockscreen like?
[Android Apps and Games] anoneemooz:
I can't seem to get the alternative wallpaper thing to work..

Also, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S. When I press some hardware button to wake up the screen, it first shows me the "slide screen to unlock" thing for a few seconds before taking me to the actual lock screen. This happens even if I do the 5 second rule bypass method via root or via homescreen helper. :(

[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
Kevin,

Any chance you can comment on this?

The times when TW lockscreen appears instead of the WL seems to be more frequent lately. Perhaps its cos Im using 2.2 for over 2 weeks. So its getting a little less 'fresh'?

Its getting a little annoying now, cos I have 2 lockscreens. Sometimes WL, sometimes TW. :p
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
Sorry, what's TW?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Samsungs TouchWhiz crap I assume.

Oddly enough today every time I wake my phone up I'm getting the stock lockscreen too.. Never had this happen on any regular basis, but nothing has changed in WidgetLocker that I'm aware of..
[Android Apps and Games] overground:
Can you add support for no shortcut labels, please? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
I noticed today that leaving my Desire in my pocket led to the 'Long press has been disabled' message popping up and staying up until I Force Stop'd WidgetLocker via the Applications manager.
[Android Apps and Games] Trifidw:
I have just purchased WL and very much like it, except for the above problem with Sense on my DHD. I think I will get my refund and keep a look out for when this bug is fixed and buy it again. :)

Edit:

Grrr... I'm trying to work out if I can live with it as I do really like Widget Locker... It doesn't do it every time and 50% of when it does do it, it is so quick I barely notice the Sense screen, the other 50% it hangs there for half a second or so (the bit that does annoy me).

Looks soo good (IMO at least)...

Edit: To clarify this a bit more, I have root access and the '5 second rule for root' applied, it only seems to do it in quick successions. But anyway I've decided to keep it! :p
[Android Apps and Games] recasper:
Sorry if this has been addressed already. I looked through the thread for similar items of interest but no resolutions seem to be identical to my issue.

I purchased Widget Locker and I love it, however similar to the TW issue I seen a couple people have... When I go to unlock, I get the beautiful WidgetLocker screen (Great), however once I swipe it, then it goes to my pattern unlock that I had on previously (Not Great).

I have disabled Pattern Unlock, but now it will come up no whether enabled or disabled. Leaving me having to continue inputing the pattern unlock. The only difference disabling "pattern unlock" does, is it removes the visual glowing line that normally comes up when your swiping your pattern in letting you know the pattern you put in.

Anyone have this issue, and if so how did you resolve this. It is extremely annoying to have to double down like this with the screen lock. Especially when the pattern can Never truly be gone.
[Android Apps and Games] recasper:
Update: In regards to my post above .. I am using a temporary fix in "No Lock"... seems to work great in conjunction with this background app... Kinda convoluted using a secondary app, but at this time, it works.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
You sure you're not using Exchange and have some security which requires this? I tried pattern lock for a while, but it was just aggrivating to have to enter it every time, even with a 'little' extra security, so I disabled it. No problem.

You could also try disabling Widget Locker and seeing if this still happens? It's not as if Widget Locker does anything to call the native lock, from what I understand it can automatically dismiss the standard slide-to-unlock in lei of its own but of course not pattern lock.
[Android Apps and Games] fl4r3:
I also agree..the only reason I was using the Miui rom was because of the functional yet beautiful lockscreen!
[Android Apps and Games] anti-pop:
I'm using a rooted Nexus One with Android Stock 2.2.1 (FRG83D) with LaucherPro and have the same issue: In the case described below, the default (stock) lockscreen is always displayed before the WidgetLocker one.

This happens even when using the recommended workarounds (Root bypass, HomeHelper).

More specifically:

- If I don't touch the phone for 10 seconds and then turn the screen on -> Success! WidgetLocker is displayed.

- If I turn the screen on, WidgetLocker shows -> Unlock phone -> Turn off screen -> Wait 2 seconds -> Turn screen on again -> Failure! I always get the default lockscreen.

And by failure I mean that the default lockscreen will be displayed for about 1 to 5 seconds (the amount of time varies) before being replaced by WidgetLocker.

This is not a home button issue because the problem occurs without ever using the home button. Something else has probably been introduced in 2.2.1 that messes with WidgetLocker behavior.

Remember, I did try the available workarounds (HomeHelper with and without the root bypass) but those don't fix the problem.

Kevin, I really hope that this issue is going to get fixed. I'm willing to provide any help/bug report I can.

In the meantime consider WidgetLocker broken with 2.2.1.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
IMO this is nonsense, I've always seen the default locker displayed sometimes, which means that Android killed it. If you have it showing the notification icon, it's less likely to happen, but I don't, and I run a LOT of stuff on my N1, so it happens sometimes. It happens to ALL Apps, especially since 2.2, Android is pretty aggressive about killing background apps, even services. I think Google needs to tune the knobs a bit more in this regard.

Been using 2.2.1 for a week here and I've seen no difference between it and 2.2.
[Android Apps and Games] anti-pop:
I worded that sentence poorly, sorry about that (I've edited my post). Please disregard the "Sometimes" bit.

I also tried leaving the icon in the notification bar. It doesn't help.

I can systematically reproduce the problem: If I use my phone normally, turn off the screen, wait less than 4 seconds and turn it back on, I will always get the default (stock) lockscreen.

Under the same condition, (screen off for less than 4 seconds), depending on the timing I may also get the default lockscreen first, unlock it and then WidgetLocker will be displayed, meaning I would have to unlock twice to get to the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] civicvx94:
I also have issues with the stock ls appearing,but its very random..

My only gripe with widget locker is that you can't have the notification bar set to 'view only.' It's either hidden or fully functional (can pull down and access stuff from it)..I want a functionally stock lockscreen, just a different style.if I want to access notifications I can unlock it..

However, having tried WL on multiple phones running 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, and 2.2.1, I can certainly say its not anymore 'broken' than on previous OS versions. For some reason the stock LS has always randomly appeared for me, its fully functional and no lag tho, so that doesn't bug me.
[Android Apps and Games] +BroNNoS+:
O, does it work again? That's good news. Because it used to be that if you installed no lock, WL was gone as well. I used to use No Lock as well to get rid of the default lock screen which keeps appearing. But it stopped working after a previous update and then I stopped using WL because of that. I got annoyed of the default lock screen appearing that much.

Hi: I'm using this app on my rooted EVO it's cool, I have one problem I just cannot solve. If I make or receive a call while locked, I have to unlock the phone and go to the phone screen to end the call. Any suggestions or help? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] stoske:
When I was using Defrost custom ROM there was a option to disable default lockscreen...

It works very well....
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I don't know what this issue is, but it does sound related to the five second rule. My personal phone is a Nexus One running 2.2.1, so that has nothing to do with it. Are you using any app that does anything with regard to the Home? Like automatically launching it when the screen locks or something? There's an app that does this but I forgot the name. WidgetLocker's advanced setting "Always unlock to Home" should accomplish the same thing.

On 2.2 there's Settings > Buttons & Inputs > Disable Notification Bar, but that method doesn't work on 2.1

Not 1.6 as WidgetLocker doesn't/never worked on such.

Everytime there is an OS update for someones phone I get comments "Doesn't work on 2.2" or "Needs update for Froyo". It makes it hard to know if there's an actual issue because WidgetLocker gets the blame for anything users don't like about the update, or any unrelated problems. (And of course it also gets rightfully blamed for problems it causes or problems in WidgetLocker. Just have to find out what reports are related to WidgetLocker and what's related to an OS update, other apps, or non-problems)

There is no need to use No Lock with WidgetLocker. WidgetLocker's Easy Wake Mode does the exact same thing. (No lock also causes any button to wake the device).

Are you using the latest version of WidgetLocker (1.2.8.1)?
