I did some testing the other day and don't think I could reproduce the problem you were having. Can you provide step-by-step what exactly you are doing and what exactly is happening?

It is not a priority. I believe you're actually the only user that has requested this, whereas in 2.2 betas before the ICS slider was added there were lots of complaints from testers about how the Honeycomb slider scales.

For now it's doable via a custom theme. Most likely it will be user-selectable without a theme in a future update.

Unfortunately I do not think there would be a good way around this, but I'll keep it in mind. That dialog is not something that would/could be implemented directly into WidgetLocker itself.

Very valuable, thank you.

Generally any delay with unlocking is due to the launcher taking some time resuming.

Got your email, will be fixed in the next update.

I think it's a Samsung feature to popup that network notification window. I'll look into it.

Known issue. No work around at this time.

Hi, Just to check how do I change the custom icon for ringer mode?

I have changed the icon for ringing mode. How do I change the icon for vibrate mode?

Whenever I slide it to change to vibrate mode the icon still shows the ringing mode icon but my phone is already in vibrate mode.

Thank you!

Play music with poweramp. Let screen sleep. Hit power button to wake screen. You should get a poweramp widget but what you get it just the WL lockscreen. I then have to toggle the power button at least 5 times before I get the Poweramp widget. Tough to do while driving...Lol...

This works as directed with the standard sense lockscreen so that's why I am bringing it to your attention instead of poweramp.

Let me know if you need any more info...

Thanks

Guys i just installed this fantastic app on my new Galaxy Nexus.

The problem is, also if i set fullscreen, so statusbar disappear, i always have on the bottom the virtual keys (home, back, recent).

I searched in settings, but i can't make it hide.

Am i noob?

I can't post screenshot of my problem cause i don't have 8+ posts on this forum, but i hope you still understand my problem.

Thanks.

Can way please have the Five Point lockscreen like MIUI. Also an integrated music control and miss call/SMS notifier would be nice. I know I could just add a widget but I'll prefer the music control to pop up only when playing music or at least like miui double tap to bring music control. The miss call/sms I know there's adw notified ect but I just want the bubbles only on the lockscreen like other's thanks.

I'm loving this app. Currently using the ICS theme.

I noticed that I would occasionally get the standard ICS lock screen, just for a second or two, and then WidgetLocker would kick in. I disabled the ICS lock screen because of this (this seems to work the way I want it to). Occasionally, however, when I unlock my phone, it will show my main home screen for a second or two, then go to the WidgetLocker screen. I think this is a similar situation to something someone mentioned a few pages ago. It's not too big of a deal, because it only happens occasionally, but just figured I would let you know that it's happening (I think this is similar to the issue someone else was having a few pages ago).

Also, does anyone know if there is a theme that looks like the Honeycomb theme but behaves like the ICS theme? I tried using the Honeycomb theme (I like the "glow" it has to it, as well as the ripple effect), but it doesn't appear to allow you to add actions like the ICS one does.

i've got a galaxy nexus (cdma) running on Android_Revolution_HD-Galaxy_Nexus_LTE_2.1.2.

at first, i had it, and it was great. besides showing the stock lockscreen every once in a while, it was good.

and then, in test mode (maybe not in test mode), i pulled down the notification bar. this seemed to ruin everything. i put it back up, and it looked different. by different i mean that the vignette was gone, and the menu button stuck. whenever i went on the lockscreen, the two soft buttons back and home would show, and then later the multitask would fade in, also with the menu button (three dots) up there. the menu button do nothing at all.

i've tried every setting to revert to its functionality, but no luck. i've reinstalled and installed. no luck. any ideas?

also, +1 for removing softkeys entirely.

Hi there,

first of all, great app, absolutely worth the money!!!

I have a liitle problem to configure the widgetlocker on my htc flyer running honeycomb, cause I am not able to lock the statusbar on the lockscreen, and so its possible to unlock the tab, just by tapping on one of the buttons.

Is there a possibility to fix this? Tried it with hiding com.android.systemui, but didn't work. Only reasolution I found, is to set a pattern or pin lock, which is a bit annoying.

Only possibly by creating a custom theme at this time. http://teslacoilsw.com/widgetlocker/themes/create.php

Either 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 changes something that breaks the root helper from bypassing the delay from hitting the home button. Next WL update will fix it.

System Settings > Display > Screen Timeout. This is different from WL Settings > Screen Timeout

No.

Netflix and similar should keep the screen on by themselves. Just like when using the system lockscreen.
[Android Apps and Games] paul c:
Hi Kevin,

could you consider creating an option so that the lockscreen is not actioned if the phone is being charged (and if possible, change the timeout for when charging)?

When I'm charging, I don't need the lockscreen since the phone is in a stable place, and I get fed up fighting against the timeout if I'm playing a hard sudoku or similar :)

thanks in advance,

Paul

Hi,

I am using an ICS 4.0.3 rom and have the stock lockscreen disabled. I cannot get the handcent pop up to show over the widgetlocker lockscreen. I have tried many different settings but I believe something needs to be changed within this app.

[Android Apps and Games] Germian:
Well, I have an annoying problem.

I exchanged my HTC Desire for a Samsung Galaxy S2 and because I got a new ROM on it (MIUI 2.1.13), I had to install everything again. So, to put it simple, I can't rearrange the size ICS ring as I did on my Desire anymore.

As you can see on the screenshots, if I put the ring in the center, it automatically stretches over the whole screen. On my Desire I had it resized so the ring was smaller and even the icons didn't interfere with the music widget (top) or reached out of the dispay (bottom).

If I resize the ICS ring to 3x1, I have it smaller (as you can see in the right pic) but I can't center it.

Can somebody give me a hint what I do wrong? Is it a bug? I already had it working but when I removed the combination from my Desire - which I still have - I couldn't rearrange it again in the style I had it :/

It didn't fix it, unfortunately. It still wakes up when I hit my volume controls, and then it must be unlocking somehow after this (sliding around in my pocket or something). Maybe it's the ROM or kernel I'm on? AOKP w/ franco.kernel.

The name of your file will probably be different depending on your device. There is probably a line in your file that will say something about the home button with "WAKE" at the end of it - just delete the word WAKE.

Hi Kevin,

I just installed WidgetLocker today and noticed that it prevents Gmail notifications. I still receive the mail, just the notification in the notification bar doesn't show up. I tested it with WidgetLocker disabled and the notifications returned.

Do you have any ideas as to what it could be?
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Great app.

BTW, bit of topic perhaps, you found a clever way to nestle Widget Locker in the bootproces (boot ompleted broadcast messages are coming so late :) ) Did you find any way to kick in even earlier than when the launcher is called?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
This seems unlikely. I personally use gmail (and WidgetLocker of course) and have not seen this issue. Is it possible you had so many notification icons on the bar that Gmail's icon was just hidden? You can disable WidgetLocker's icon in Advanced settings.

Actually WidgetLocker could start even earlier, but I intentionally delay it to give the launcher a chance to start. Some people turn on their phones, ignore it for a bit, then want to see WidgetLocker, but when they unlock they want Sense UI or whatever already loaded.

But I don't recommend this method. Having a HomeHelper causes the actual home program to be removed from memory, causing it to have to reload all the time. This really annoys users and makes them think it is "force closing" (it's not a force close, it's a natural killed-by-android's-memory-manager-close).

A big issue with starting an activity so early is that it stops launcher from loading. A service or something would be better, but hard to get widget bindings into a service window. If your use-case is on rooted phones you could put something in an init script to start a service, the "am" command on froyo includes a startservice command. It's also possible to start a service from a unix executable, you can check the su.c (and related) source from chainsdd for how he starts an activity from c++. Change a few parameters and you can do a service. It's kind of awkward code though.
