I'm still having the problem where sometimes the stock lock screen shows instead of widget locker...

I'm on xxELLA stock 4.1.2 firmware for SGS3 non rooted

Any idea why this would happen? It's so bloody annoying
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Yeah, happens to me too. I can't really see any pattern. It just happens randomly, but not that often. There is a setting to prevent the stock screen from showing at boot which seems to help.

Same thing happens to me on my Note2 with Digi Clock Widget. Seems that WL just stops refreshing gmail widget and Digi Clock Widget after a few hours of wiping it and restoring it. Already sent the developer an error report. I have tried re-introducing apps on the WL lockscreen one at a time to evaluate if it was a specific app interaction but there seems to be no specific correlation with any one app.

I've had some problems with Dash Clock too, but I haven't even been able to get the notifications to expand like they do on the home screen. They always stay compact regardless of what size the widget is set at.

I've also tried using Notify Me! (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2173226), but WidgetLocker seems to block the pop up notifications. I'm trying to get some more interactive notifications to the lockscreen but don't think I can leave WL. Any suggestions on getting either to work properly?

Widgetlocker muting audio when screen goes to sleep

Does anyone know how to fix this problem:

When I play a song with any music app as soon as the screen goes off the music does too. Actually it doesn't mute completely it just gets really quiet and thin. If I disable Widgetlocker it works as normal. I'm using a galaxy s3,

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] :
Try the newest beta, it's working great with DashClock.
[Android Apps and Games] ptmax13:
Adding to this, with yesterday's update, Dashclock now updates/refreshes like it should and works great. As expected, the problem was DashClock and not WL.

Does anyone have a problem with the grid not lining up to Nova or any other launcher? I would hate to have to modify my wallpaper to get it to work with widgetlocker. I selected the same grid size for both 12x7, and it doesn't allow me to put the items in the same spot. Are there margins and can I remove them?

Nevermind. Figured it out on my own. I didn't do the anchor point.
[Android Apps and Games] ptrm2:
can someone recommend a num pad unlock that is different from the stock one? I was hoping to be able to customize that with this app but I guess not, and Ill prob request a refund becuase this app seems more limited than people make it out to be, plus it eats into the batter :(
[Android Apps and Games] untweetless:
I agree with you, i´m not going to request a refound (i tried the app around a month)cuz I know that Teslacoil is a great developer and he deserves it

But when i saw the pictures and bought i thought it was going to be like 4.2 locker or at least like milocker of MIUI but you can put differents pages with widgets, and dialer for a pin good looking

Otherwhile enyoing Nova launcher

Is there anyway to have Dashclock in 'expanded' mode with Widgetlocker? I know with stock Lock Screen in Paranoid Android they have an option for 'Maximize Widgets' - alas not true in Widgetlocker :(.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Update to the latest beta.
[Android Apps and Games] crashcat007:
I am on Paranoid android v3.1+ ROM ,,I installed widget locker,and disabled the buttons (Back,HOME,Recent) .but even then those 3 buttons shows up on my lockscreen and when i click on home button or recents button it unlocks the phone and goes to the main homescreen without me actually unlocking it, Is anyone else having this issue,or its just me ? :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello,

I've been experiencing this problem for a while now, and it seems to appear randomly. Most of the times after unlocking.

I'm not sure weither this is a WidgetLocker or a LauncherPro bug, perhaps a combination of both, so i will post it on either side :P

As you can see, the statusbar is pushing my screen down, leaving me with a black (i cant move widgets up there either) bar at the top, and having the homescreen cropped at the bottom:

Has anyone else experienced this?
[Android Apps and Games] cauli:
I'm fairly sure that's a LauncherPro issue. Try restarting LP & the issue should go away for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Hmm, never seen that with ADW, but I don't use LauncherPro.. Vanilla vs Chocolate :)
[Android Apps and Games] drew2000:
I am using LauncherPro and WidgetLocker and I am not experiencing any issues like that at all. Wish I had an idea about what is causing the issue for you.....................
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Are you hiding the notification bar on WidgetLocker? What about Launcher Pro?

And Android 2.1 or 2.2?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Sorry, should have provided a little more info :)

I'm running Android 2.2 OTA and have the statusbar set to hidden in both WidgetLocker and LauncherPro.
[Android Apps and Games] Rock_Harder:
Have this problem randomly but not in relation with widget locker... I think it is a Launcher pro problem
[Android Apps and Games] Raadius:
Having trouble with notifications not disappearing. I'm using an Evo.

If I get a new text messages I get 2 notifications, one on the notification bar (up top) and one on the dock bar (bottom). If I press the red bubble of the text message and read my text than exit back I still have the message icon on my notification bar but it's not a new message though, it's the same one. When I slide down and press it, yup, it's the same one. At first I thought it was a small glitch that'll go away but now, it happens all the time. I have to disable WL than enable it and it works fine again, but after a few mins my notification still stay up top, happens with Gmail too.

I thought this was due to Launcher Pro Plus but when I disable LPP and used since I was still having this issue. Disabling WL and using Sense the notifications dissapear whether I press the top bar or the bottom bar.

Is this a known error?
[Android Apps and Games] Talderon:
Ok, phone/ROM Specs are in my signature.

I bought the app and am Rooted (locked boot loader) and running a "stock" rooted ROM with Launcher Pro Plus (Paid version).

Once installed, without changing ANY settings, I will be listening to music on my phone or whatever and the screen will not wake. After waiting to see if it will do something, it just goes back to sleep, music keeps playing.

Once in a while, out of nowhere, it will just reboot. No warning, no nothing.

Is it possible something int he ROM causing it?
[Android Apps and Games] :
It does appear to be a Launcher Pro problem, thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] iTouch24:
had some concerns about widget locker.

I am running 2.2 fresh ROM on EVO with sense .. not running launcher pro.

When calendar event goes off i liked how u would get the calendar icon on screen and have option to snooze or dismiss it ... now i dont seem to get that with widgetlocker enabled ... can we have that display?

i am also running chompsms and when i receive a message i get the popup on my screen of the new message ... but if i dont get to the message in time, the next time i turn on screen the popup message is gone ... just see the lockscreen .. is there a way to have popup stay ontop of the lockscreen until i dismiss or read the message?

also from widget locker i have a custom slider there to open soundhound ... when soundhound is open and when the screen shuts off and i turn back on device and unlock from widget locker the application is no longer opened ... its as if once the screen goes off widget locker closes the application opened from its lockscreen?

those custom sliders are great .. i wish u could make them a standalone widget as well to use on the sense homescreens !
[Android Apps and Games] Judim:
Hi!

I really would like to set the airplane mode via a slider. I don't find a possibility yet. Is it possible at all? Or Could it be implemented into the app? Please...

Thanks

Edit: I found a way. The free app "Airplane switcher" from the market does exactly what I wanted: just switch on/off when launched. So I have a slider with this app. And it works. Cool.
[Android Apps and Games] Talderon:
I had a nice email thread with the Dev about my issue and the suggestion was a possible bad ext part on my SD Card. Honestly, I wasn't so sure, but I figured that it would not harm anything to give it a go.

I wiped my SD Card, repartitioned it and poof, it works now. :)

Hope this helps others.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] awenthol:
I would love to be able to disable ALL lockscreen interactions, aside from the slider. So, where's the option to turn off the status bar? I've tried hiding it but that's pointless because then you don't know what the notifications are...

And, it would be nice if we could disable the lockscreen after a call..ie, when i hang up and then it automatically locks...don't like that.
[Android Apps and Games] flowtec:
It is already there.

Don't know the correct translation, i have set german, but look at here:

Settings - behaviour (4.point) - show on call (8.point)
[Android Apps and Games] awenthol:
That is "Show in call"...ie, lock during a call. What I'm having problems with is locking AFTER a call...when I hit "END," I go straight to the lock screen.

Thanks anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] solox:
i like it alot. Missing one feature from original lock. When the music player is playing, there is controls showing on lock screen. Is it possible to implement on widgetlocker? a "player widget" (if not playing show 1, if playing show 2)
[Android Apps and Games] mahercs:
Yup! I have the same issue and it only started after the last update. Other issues since then:

1. Can't resize pics for BG with stock gallery

2. Using the optional 3D Gallery wouldn't let me change my BG at all (and Kevin sent me the link to the one that should work several times)

3. Slide to unlock for incoming calls option prevented the "Answer" and "Ignore" buttons from appearing which resulted in missed calls because I had no way to answer.

4. When on a call, and another one comes in, I don't get the option to answer the second call any more - again, more missed calls.

Great app, but too buggy for now. Hopefully, a fix is in the works soon.

I am on a non-rooted Droid X with 2.2
[Android Apps and Games] Rock_Harder:
You could use Remoter ;) So you can use the sliders for controlling music.

There are problems with latest beta 8. I had to go back to beta 5 for normal expected functionality. On beta 8, widgetlocker is not retaining it's superSU permissions (grant) because when I grant superuser permissions in SuperSU (latest 1.25), it loses these permissions after a short while. Once this happens, when waking the phone it goes straight to homescreen and bypasses the WL lockscreen altogether. Only way to get it right again is to forget permissions in SuperSU and re-grant when selecting "root helper" option in WL settings. No such problem on beta 5 and every other previous version to that. And yes, before anyone asks, I ALWAYS use homehelper and set it to widgetlocker. Only have 1 launcher (Nova Prime latest) as touchwiz is frozen.

Another issue on beta 8 is when unlocking to the homescreen, there is a display"glich" where the homescreen is shown for a split second and then the lockscreen overlays that for a split second and then the homescreen only. Again, this does not happen on Beta 5. Weird! This particular issue with the lockscreen overlaying the homescreen for about 300ms on unlocking only happens when waking the device after at least 3 seconds of screen off and then instantly unlocking. It doesn't happen when waking the screen and unlocking straight after turning the screen off.

I have tried beta 8 twice including re-installing after wiping WL data and clearing all caches and fixing permissions. Just can't get it to work consistently. Works for about 3 or 4 unlocks or so and then for no apparent reason it starts behaving as above. I think the crux of the problem is SuperSU is not remembering that WL (beta 8) has root access but on beta 5 this doesn't happen. So not sure if problem is with WL or SuperSU ?? Have also tried re-installing SuperSU too.

Have been using WL for years on various devices and never had these kind of issues before. Anyway I'm sticking with beta 5 which works perfectly.

By the way, ALL of the options in WL settings were exactly the same between beta 8 and beta 5.

I wonder if anyone else has had these/similar issues with beta 8 ?

[Android Apps and Games] seanvree:
Been using this app for a while now. Great, thanks.

One question - for some reason after I upgraded my ROM, I notice that when the screen is off and I press the home key, it bypasses the lockscreen and goes directly to the home screen. This is annoying because when it's in my pocket sometimes it unlocks.

I'm using this on JB 4.1 SGS III.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Turn s voice on home button back on or use home helper.

Doesn't help... I stopped using it because of this problem. I just couldn't stop it happening so it just got removed. Shame really.
[Android Apps and Games] zaneyard:
With the new beta, I can't seem to make any widgets taller than 3 squares, regardless if the screen is blank of other widgets. I tried enabling overlapping widgets in settings as well. What I'd like to do is make dashclock 4 squares tall and I've already made my unlocker only one square tall. I've also tried several different unlocker styles. Is this possible?

Nevermind, it seems I had to play with the anchor settings.

[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
One thing missing, shortcut for screen off. I know, in play store is dozen apps for this, but why download another app, when widgetlocker could have this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
Can't you just use your lock button? Works for me ;)
[Android Apps and Games] kajozord:
Yes, but my phone is big and lock button is on top of phone, so I'm using swipe up gesture on home screen to lock :)
[Android Apps and Games] Namoi:
One could make a good meme with this one ;)

Can't reach the lock button...

Cause phone is too big.

Just kidding :)
[Android Apps and Games] lightbody:
If you activate the Lab or experimental section, you can choose LockNow/sleep option. When widdgetlocker is activated via shortcut the screen turns off and locks. No extra app needed.

[Android Apps and Games] HtcRo:
Fantastic app! it's possible add the lockscreen of the Htc one? thanks :D
[Android Apps and Games] malerick003:
I'd like to start by saying thank you for this fantastic app. I've just purchased it today, and I have two issues/questions that I can't figure out:

1. When trying to change the icon for any app shortcut (for example, changing the icon of the Gmail app in a slider, or in the bezel), if I go to the Icon Pack, and select an icon pack (in this particular case, I've tried 'Tiny White Icons' and 'SmallWhites'), the icon pack seems to crash. Specifically, i get a pop up saying 'Unfortunately, Tiny White Icons has stopped.' ... or whichever icon pack I tried to use.

I have noticed that WidgetLocker specifies ADW or GO launcher icon packs as being compatible, and I have checked the store page for Tiny White Icons, which says it works for ADW and Go Launcher. Since this has happened with multiple icon packs I'm thinking it may be something related to Widgetlocker. Any thoughts?

Edit: The same issue occurs with my Nexus 7, unrooted, using the regular release version of WidgetLocker (2.3.2 I believe?). The Non-beta version also had the same issue on my Nexus 4.

2. This second issue is regarding Dashclock. I've updated to the latest beta version, which allows for Dashclock to be in the 'expanded mode'. Is there any way to get Dashclock to stay in the compact mode? Resizing doesn't work for me, since Dashclock only goes into compact when the widget is too small, and parts get cut off or overlap each other. I have also played extensively with the Layout options to see if changing the number of rows could affect the behavior (no luck). Widget Overlapping is enabled.

I would prefer not to go back to a non-beta version, since all of the other features in the beta (bezels in particular) are great.

Here's the device information that I think might be relevant:

Nexus 4, Stock/Unrooted ... Android 4.2.2

WidgetLocker 2.4beta8

Dashclock v1.4.3

Also using Nova Launcher Prime (I'm not sure if that could be relevant at all though).

Thanks!

Hi all, I'm having a problem getting the cLock weather to show with widgetlocker,it just shows time and date even after resizing.It works fine

with the stock lockscreen (and homescreen), but not with widgetlocker.
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Anyone else having issues with the WidgetLocker lockscreen on 4.2.2 ROM's? No matter which 4.2.2 ROM I flash, I have the issue on all them.

I disable stock screensaver.

Enable Widget Locker.

Set Widget Locker to "force portrait" so that even when the phone is set to Auto Rotate, Widget Locker should always be in Portrait mode. This is so my sliders are always in the same location no matter what.

But, about 1/3 of the time, when my phone wakes up, Widget Locker will be in Landscape mode and my sliders are all funky looking. A reboot will temporarily resolve this till it happens again.

Anyone else?
[Android Apps and Games] paul c:
I've got Modaco's ROM installed on my Nexus 4, with Jellybean 4.2.2 (the phone shipped with this version number) - WidgetLocker runs fine with it. I have screen orientation locked to portrait - although it sometimes seems to lose that, and I have to re-enable it.

But anyway, no problems whatsoever with WL: I have a clock, calendar, 2x email, battery and missed call widgets (Android, Business Calendar, Kaiten, Kaiten, Gauge Battery Widget and SMS Unread respectively).
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Thanks for confirming the issue, Paul.

I upgraded to the latest beta (as of 4/14/13). Set it all up fresh the way I like it.

Worked fine for awhile.

Then I took the phone out to my car. Plugged it into the USB charge cable on my landscape dock. Then CarHome Ultra app loaded up in landscape mode. And just like that, the portrait-vs-landscape issue popped right back up.

WidgetLocker started opening in landscape instead of the forced portrait I have it set for.

Pics attached. Good vs. Bad

By adjusting the anchor size, I can make the landscape look better. But I still don't want to have a landscape. :)
[Android Apps and Games] batesapps:
Had the same problem so wrote Media Utilities. Its still pretty new but works really well for me, added a ton of widgets to handle different needs which I mostly use with WidgetLocker.

[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Pretty cool app, I just installed it.

Doesn't seem to work too well with iHeart Radio for controlling functionality.

But Pandora is solid so far.
[Android Apps and Games] batesapps:
Fair question actually ;)

Its all stuff thats been done before just combined in a slightly different manner with just a little bit hacking for effect.

In all seriousness Iam pretty lazy so its all pretty generic stuff, didnt want to code for each media application. So if the application is well behaved (most are) then it should work.
[Android Apps and Games] batesapps:
Looks like iHeart is one of those not so well behaving applications. It should still work you have to manually add the application from the main window (I added a screen shot). Once added you wont get coverart etc but it should show up in the notification bar correctly.

If it does not work right away if you click on the background of the notification then Media Utilities will attempt correct the situation. But it looks to be working pretty well on my Nexsus.

Odd that they spent time to add Ford Sync support but only basic Android support.

Anyone using WL (latest beta) with PAC ROM? After I switched to it and got everything set up, the first reboot gave me android.process.acore errors. It seemed as if the system was having problems loading WL. I did a clean install, put everything back but left WL disabled. No more problem. I don't know if this is coincidental or not. I don't know a lot about this error (database corruption, maybe) or how it would relate to WL.

I could just enable WL and see what happens, I suppose, but I'd rather avoid the hassle since I don't really need to use a lockscreen. But I do like WL, especially the app bezel.
[Android Apps and Games] Namoi:
Hi,

I wonder if someone managed to prevent an app from runing using "popups->hide other" settings ?

Even if I enter the package name, the app still runs on the lockscreen (or is it only for popups ?).

Thanks
