I have my own modified version of 2.3.5 if you prefer and actually works because I am using it (in CM7) so if you want it, let me know.

This allows LauncherPro (Gmail widget) and SMS Notifier widget to work properly. In the past, SMS Notifier was causing FCs when adding the Gmail count widget :(

But following the tutorial from 'Koxx3' I was able to modify the APK and sanity has been restored :D
[Android Apps and Games] rachnov55:
sorry if this has been covered before, but 166 pages is a long read...

how do I get number of missed calls to be displayed on the slider? also number of new email doesn't seem to be showing, only new sms's. I've adw notifier installed :\

any help would be appreciated, it's driving me nuts
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
LOL

It's covered in the post before yours. Gmail updates block notifier apps for security reasons, you have to either revert to Gmail 2.3.4 or root and use the roll your own method.

Great app! I finally have WidgetLocker installed and have it customized to my liking but I just have one problem. Whenever I am listening to music, whether I use my headphones, through speaker phone, or any kind of different player. I get interference whenever the screen times out and locks. It also happens when I turn the screen on, but not as frequent as when the screen goes off. The only way I can describe the interference is that it sounds like a pause/click sound. Is there anyone else with this problem?

BTW...I have the mytouch 4g running RoyalGinger 3.0, and have blumagic theme installed. I also tried to recreate the problem by disabling Widget locker and using the stock screen lock, and also with no lock screen. And both times I didn't have the problem.

Sounds like lock screen sounds. You can disable in WL Settings > Behavior. Or if you just don't want them during music that's an option in WL Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental

I wonder what to do to use the beautiful widget's weather animation when you unlock, together with widgetlocker?
[Android Apps and Games] Quiksilver78:
Are you using Poweramp by any chance? 'cause I get the same crack/pop sound as well. Not sure if it's coming from Poweramp or WidgetLocker. For the record, locking sounds are disabled by default (mine are and don't recall setting them that way myself)

And @kevin ... any chance of widget overlapping in the next release? :D
[Android Apps and Games] laztpn0i:
I have those disabled and I still have the same crackle/pop sounds.

And at quicksilver...I do have poweramp installed as well as player pro, pandora, and google music beta. And all of them do the same thing. This is weird, because I don't get that when I have WL disabled. Do you have any other music players that do the same thing?

Screen rotation problem

I have currently the 2.2.beta4, and many (if not all the) times after unlocking my home screen shows up in landscape mode for a second, then it switches to portrait.

I only use portrait mode, it is forced even for WidgetLocker and the launcher, and I also hold the phone in portrait mode. I have Xperia Arc with stock launcher.

Bluetooth bypass inoperable when using widgetlocker

The title says it all

1st let me note I love this app, and would hate to have to uninstall it because of this issue.

I have a Motorola Photon with a stock rom. running the latest version of GB.

When the phone goes to sleep (locked mode), and I push a talk button on any of my blue tooth devices, the phone will not by-pass the the lock screen, and launch the voice commands function/menu. As soon as I unlock WL, boom, voice command works.

The phone is rooted, and I enabled the root option in WL. It seems as if the unlock process is not happening fast enough for the VC process to take effect.

As soon as I de-activate WL all is well, BT bypass works with the stock lock screen.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Thanks,

The Dempster
[Android Apps and Games] dacbeth:
I just tried my LG Bluetooth headset and that function worked fine. EVO 4G 2.3.3GB not rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] TheDempster:
Well I'm stumped. Have tried it multiple times, different devices. Same results every time. Any body have any more ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] tarti321:
great app thanks guys!
[Android Apps and Games] TheDempster:
Maybe Kevin could shed some light on this blue tooth bypass issue
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Should just work, otherwise check the Beautiful Widgets settings.

Yes

Beta bug reports are best served via Settings > Report Bug

Yes, see http://teslacoilsw.com/widgetlocker/#faq about the Home button though.

Can you try enabling WL Settings > Buttons & Inputs > Allow long-search? Weird I know, but try it. (If it's this, then it should be fixed in the next update)
[Android Apps and Games] ero69:
I have WidgetLocker 2.1 and love it...

My ROM is InsertCoin and uses the Sense 3.0 (or is it 3.5?) lock screen that has the ring.

My company enforces password with my email Exchange account meaning after 1 hour of no activity I have to enter a password.

I find that if I don't use my phone for extended periods, I unlock WidgetLocker but then the ring based lock screen appears... I have to unlock the ring and then enter my password.

Is there any way to completely get rid of the ring based lock screen? Of course I'm aware the password entry will still need to occur.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Quiksilver78:
I thought that if you were 'root' you could simply disable the stock lock screen?

For the record, I am using CM7 nightly build for my DesireHD
[Android Apps and Games] BasilofBakerStreet:
The dev needs to Kang the lock screen from qqlauncher!
[Android Apps and Games] ero69:
I am 'root' but I can't find any setting remove lock screen. I can only find a setting "Stock Android Lockscreen" which doesn't seem to do anything.

Also, not sure if the lockscreen is persistent due to having the Exchange password enforced.
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
It's possible to add the option to use Live Wallpapers on it?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Yes, if you have a pin/password/pattern, you will get the standard lock screen. However, WidgetLocker can automatically clear the stock lock screen for you, it's in the options. For me "Auto" didn't work real reliably, even though I'm on a pretty stock vanilla ROM, but setting it to Standard Android makes it work 100%. So I unlock Widget Locker and immediately see my pattern lock. It's in Settings->Advanced->Root Helper

I imagine this is all ROM dependent. Each could behave differently, particularly various flavors of Sense, not to mention Cheezewhiz, Blur, etc others..

Separate from your launcher? You'll see the LWP (or standard WP) you have set in your launcher in WL.
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
No, I use one LWP on the Launcher, but i doesn't appear.
[Android Apps and Games] WhiteReign:
Can any one tell me were the System files are for Widget locker so I can change the Icon?
[Android Apps and Games] ero69:
Yes, mine was set on Auto... I have changed and will see what happens. Didn't happen all the time, but the majority after 1hr of not using phone and the password screen appearing.

Thank you for the tip and clarifying Auto not being reliable.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
erm.. Odd. I've tried several launchers, and the LWP "shows through" almost every app I've seen, including WL.

Porting lockscreens

I wonder if it's difficult to port over lockscreens from the Miui rom or QQLauncher?

TIA.
[Android Apps and Games] Totesz:
Well, I think it speeded up things on my Arc...
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Make sure you don't have an alternative wallpaper set in WL Settings > Look & Feel

AOSP doesn't put a slider in front of the pattern, which is probably why Auto isn't working. Sense rarely puts a slider in front of security, but will if Exchange is active. TouchWiz doesn't. Blur does and has a new Bionic style that's not supported in WL 2.1 but should be fine in 2.2.

It's true some devices kind of stall when calling vibrate. I tried running the vibrations in a background thread, but this sometimes means they happen at completely the wrong time so I stopped doing that.

WL 2.2 will include a honeycomb style which isn't too different. However I haven't determined if it's going to support multiple unlock actions in 2.2 or if that's going to have to wait until another update (2.2 is taking longer than expected). Either way, in the future a user theme will be able to create the QQLauncher look using WL's Honeycomb slider.
[Android Apps and Games] BasilofBakerStreet:
Will you be adding options for charging animations like qqlauncher? That would be the ish.
[Android Apps and Games] x0xhellx0x:

Slider sound issue

@Kevin (or anyone else), fantastic app, really makes a difference to my phone. However, I have a small query.

I have 6 sliders on the lockscreen but only the unlock slider(Bottom left slider in picture) will make a sound when it is used. The other 5 sliders don't make a sound/click.

Is there a way to enable sound on slide action for the other 5 sliders or doesn't it work that way?

TIA :)

I'm using this on a Galaxy S2... looks great

How can I disable or turn of the stock locker ?

Problem I have when booting is the stock lock screen is enabled (which I don't like) the Widget locker kicks in.

Any help would be much appreciated

Exactly the issue I'm having with the Galaxy S2
[Android Apps and Games] byrong:
You'll need to uninstall Missed It, install a patched Gmail, then re-install Missed It.

Create your own modded version of Gmail allowing content sharing with external apps

or

[App] Patched Gmail to fix Go Notification and other widgets

edit: or if you don't have root then your only option is to roll back your Gmail updates to an older version
[Android Apps and Games] mloc33:
I don`t know if I`m doing it wrong but, it says it`s installed then it FC`s, is it just a simple install of the modded version?

Edit: I got it, I had to factory reset, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] carlos67:
Youv'e misunderstood me. It's my "stock email app" that doesn't work in Missed It, not Gmail - I don't use Gmail.

I have just enabled Missed It in Accesibility settings so will see if that fixes it.

Sorry for OT.

Does anyone know how to stop the stock lockscreen from showing before Widgetlocker lockscreen after a reboot. I'm on Galaxy s2 running Launcher Pro Plus and Android 2.3.5

It only happens after a reboot/switch on. After that it works perfectly when waking the screen - WL pops up and I don't see the stock L/screen.

It's just when powering on/rebooting it happens. I have homehelper turned on and root help also turned on in settings.
[Android Apps and Games] mloc33:
Same for me, I hear the lock/unlock sound go really fast about 5-8 times then WL appears...I have stock disabled, but still happens.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Third party apps cannot start as quickly as the system can.

Disable System Settings > Sounds > Screen Lock Sounds

Unlock Slider Suggestion

I did a quick search of the forum, so I apologize if this has already be suggested, or if this isn't the place to post.

It would be cool if we could have sliders that are floating buttons (like CM7) where you need to perform a gesture to unlock. This would eliminate the need to have a slide to unlock & a pattern unlock.

Again, I apologize if this isn't the place for this post.
[Android Apps and Games] carlos67:
Just wanted to report that my email problem with "Missed It" application i.e. missed emails not showing on WL lockscreen has now been resolved after enabling Widgetlocker in accessibility settings.

I have an htc inspire 2.3 non-rooted. When I installed widgetlocker my keyboard freezes up on and off, especially the spacebar. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Taverius:
Ok, so I'm loving WidgetLocker.

But, I'm using Wallpaper Change to rotate walls every unlock. And I have to to use "Retain System Keyguard", or it rotates twice, once when WidgetLocker appears after wake, once after unclock. Which is not only bad for the battery but looks damn silly to boot :D

Anyone have a better solution?

Strange problem

Hey there guys. I recently bought this app and i absolutely love it, it's a must have for any android phone.

I have a SGS2 and noticed a strange issue. When the screen is off, i clic3k the home button once and it brings up the cool lock screen. If i click the button a second time it goes into the menu without me having to pass the slider. Is this intentional? Is there a way to turn it off? because by some wired chance i could press the home button 2x and it goes into the menu without me wanting that.
[Android Apps and Games] GlenBoRTR:
Clock on the Slider

I have a small problem... Most of the sliders that I have installed, have a clock that is on top of the slider. The clock isn't on the developers pic of their slider though.

Is there a way that I can remove these clock????

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Ellingsoc:
I have not been able to keep up with this thread that will but i was wondering if you will be putting in support for icon themes from like adw launcher and go launcher so we can use those icons in widget locker. My bad if this has already been asked
[Android Apps and Games] dnutz_android:
First off, I want to congratulate and thank you for creating a great application.

Your very active response/support since year 2010 in the xda forum assured me that this is a well supported app.

This was the 1st application that I bought for my rooted SGS2.

I have a few questions for you.

1. Is it possible to change the icons (png) images for Ring Mode Toggle?

(Example: I would like to change the icons for these events RINGER_MODE_NORMAL, RINGER_MODE_SILENT and RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE.)

2. Where can I add build-in WL icons? Is this stored in a specific folder? If yes, which folder?

3. Any idea when will you add the lock screen feature in the "Custom Slider" -> "WL Actions"? I read in the previous pages that this would be another feature that you will add in the future.

I read through a lot of previous post but could not find the answers to my question. I apologize if I am repeating a question that was asked previously.

Also, I suggest that you compile a list of FAQ and Answers on the 1st page of this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] Fractalcat:
This may be an odd question, but is there anyway for widget locker to run in fullscreen (ie being able to hide statusbar) or be able to unlock the screen by sliding up? Yes I'm trying to emulate WP7 unlock screen. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Taverius:
Hiding the statusbar is definitely possible ... its uh, in the options somewhere >_>

Unlock by sliding up I don't think so.
[Android Apps and Games] phoenixs4r:
Search this thread for a sense 3.0 style lockscreen. It has instructions on how to make the ring slide up. Could help ya.
[Android Apps and Games] newclaudio:
Ditto to this.

I would also love to know how I can remove the "clock" that is on every slider that I've installed. I love this program, but removing the clock could be awesome.

No matter what size I make the slider, that clock is right in the middle. I don't see any setting that will give me just the slider that I installed.

Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.

[Android Apps and Games] Fractalcat:
I couldn't seem to find that post, searching only brought me to a post from the dev who said its on the todo list. Not a huge deal but thanks for the Advice. :)
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Two things come to mind:

1) If it's especially the space bar, are you sure it's not an app like Wave Launcher or similar that is actually blocking off the bottom of your screen? This is unrelated to WidgetLocker.

2) There's a really weird bug in WidgetLocker 2.1 that can sometimes cause focus to be in the wrong area so a keyboard might not work, this mainly happens for sms popup apps and only on certain devices. Fixed for the next update.

If you contact the wallpaper change dev you can point him here for WL integration: http://teslacoilsw.com/widgetlocker/#developers . If he's using USER_PRESENT right now there is a behavior in Android that can cause that to get broadcasted multiple times when using a replacement lockscreen.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 behaves different than other devices. I'm looking into a better fix for the Home button on this device, but in the mean time as a work around you can:

Enable Settings > Advanced > HomeHelper:

HomeHelper Component

HomeHelper Block Home

Then hit Select System Home > WL HomeHelper

When adding a Sense slider there is a checkbox to show the clock or not. Uncheck the checkbox.

ADW Icon Packs are supported for slider icons, though not for app shortcuts at this time. This is coming. Actually applying a theme to all icons rather than individually is unlikely to come as WL isn't as app-shortcut focused as a launcher.

Only via a user theme, not via the app. This is something I'd like to do in the future but it just doesn't fit the existing database structure or user-interface so it's a bit of work.

You can't add built in icons. You can override icons using a user theme, you can create an ADW icon pack, or you can manually select icon files from your system's gallery or file browser.

Assuming you mean a Screen Off function, no ETA. It might be possible now with a third-party app if there is one that can turn the screen off via a shortcut rather than a widget.

The preference screen is a bit overwhelming and a user missing something is better than turning on something without reading the description. I receiving a surprising number of emails from people complaining about WidgetLocker showing during a phone call and I have to tell they turned on that setting and should turn it back off. Or they hate how WidgetLocker unlocks to the home screen instead of the previous app and I should fix that or at least provide an option, and again the default behavior is what they want but they changed the option. Working on making the preference screen more helpful though:
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
And people wonder why windows does 2 confirmations for anything you change or do on your computer! Ha ha, it's sooo needed these days. Great idea with that little descriptive confirmation popup Kevin!

Also want to say thanks once again for your continued presence in your thread! Very few Devs even seem to read their threads, and you come in here every few days and answer every question. Thanks! This is one of a couple apps I don't regret buying.

I second this! Keep up the great support and I almost cant live with out this app!
[Android Apps and Games] carlos67:
Working flawlessly on sgs2. At the WL lockscreen, if I press the home button I just get a pop-up message saying that the home button is disabled in lock mode. This is how it's supposed to work.

In previous post a sgs2 user said that pressing the home button bypasses WL lockscreen and he didn't want it this way. He needs to go into home helper settings and tick "homehelper block home" setting to on.

Otherwise, pressing home button takes you to your homescreen.

@Kevin - fantastic app this. One of the very few apps I have paid for and worth every penny. I love the way you attend to questions posted here on a regular basis. Most other devs could learn a lot from you about how to support their apps properly.Keep it up dude. :)

Finally, the app is THAT good that I struggle to think of a feature request to ask for. So I won't!!! Its perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] Jason Nguyen:
This is truly a great app but I have one small problem with it. My phone doesn't seem to vibrate in silent mode when getting text messages.
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
I've been messing around with different slider configurations, and I've noticed that sliders based off of the sense, iPhone, rotary and miui styles have such little haptic feedback that its almost nonexistent (the regular tab sliders work fine). Is there any way we can perhaps set custom feedback levels for our sliders, or is it possible to get them all a little more even across the board?

Clearly not the worst of issues, but I guess that's a testament to how good this app is otherwise ;)

to OP

can i make a request? i've just used LCDDensity to up the equiv DPI of my sgs2 and found a slight prob with this app. normally i have 3 custom sliders but now there's enough room for 4. prob is, there's not enough points for them to stick to. i have 1 at the top and bottom, but the 2 in the middle are pretty much right on top of each other.

kinda like

[Android Apps and Games] ranchero76:
Quite nice, but no slider for missing calls as on stock lock screen makes it useless. Notifications and ability to directly access to missed calls is main function of lock screen, the rest of functions can be easily accessed from home screen, one swipe away :). Uninstalled.
