Any reason why widgetlocker causes a delay in screen turn on when pressing the power button on the nexus 4? Don't have anything fancy on my lock screen other than default slider, cLock and slider shortcuts to messenger, whatsapp, unlock, and camera zoom fx. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] eruben:
I have one problem. I hided notification bar but still I use it to drop down and change toggles. But when I do it I still can see widgetlocker screen as if notification bar is transparent. This really make toggle use difficult.

Please help.

im using widgetlocker on my htc droid dna

it has been working fine on android 4.1.2

recently went to android 4.2.2 and now anytime i click on the settings button, it force closes

i can run widget locker fine (restored from backup) and it works fine .. but i cannot change any settings

i have uninstalled and deleted all data for widgetlocker from internal memeory/sdcard and re-installed from play store.... still force closes on settings :(

anyone experience this issue yet?

EDIT: formatted sdcard and internal memory and started from scratch. all good now :)
[Android Apps and Games] Orion001:
I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues with their wifi not turning off in lockscreen.

I'm running android 4.1.2 and the fulmix.rom 1.1.

I have the option ticked in in the settings - wifi - menu - advanced - sleep mode never keep wifi on.

But after installing the widget locker it appears that the wifi doesnt turn off anymore.

Ive checked this by locking it for over 30 minutes, and then looking up my wifi usage in the battery tab.

Anyone got any thoughts or hints on this ? Thanks in advance :)
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
Absolutely no issues with WL for me here.

and I just got another WL update about a week ago.

Dead in the water? wtf you talking about? :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 PM ----------

Not being able to see widget info. until you unlock?

I have no idea what you're issue is, but all of my widgets and info properly display on my WL screen.

Not a single issue with it, and it works exactyl 'as advertised.'

On my Galaxy player 4.0 , my Galaxy Nexus , and on a Galaxy tab.

No issues on any of them. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] deli pastrami:
In order to access any widgets placed on WL, whether it's just an app, zooper, or Uccw, or pop-up widget requires me to input my system pass code before I can access them.

Ie: I have a hotpot on my clock to use pop-up widget to bring in a Uccw widget of missed calls/texts. When I click it I must enter my pass. Other example: I have a flashlight widget just to access my flash light app, also need to enter pin before it turning. Another example, I have my camera widget as well...... Also need pass upon click. You get the picture.

Kinda defeats the purpose of quick and easy access. If I have to enter my code just to see a widget I might as well just go to my home screen like normal and open the app from there.

It's good you have no issues but if you take a minute and read other people's posts you will see that the majority of them are posting issues they have....... Not every phone is the same, and not every users experience will be the same.
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
Yeah, Now I get the picture.

This might be a silly question~

But have you set "screen lock" to "None" under "Settings>Security. (phone settings, not WL) ?

WL isnt really for the security conscious folks.

It's one or the other.... free use/access of widgets/info on your lockscreen- or a secured device. lol

If you already have your security/screen lock set to none.. I'm lost on the issue.

But if you have it set purposely..... I can see where it would conflict.
[Android Apps and Games] deli pastrami:
As far as I know disabling the system security as you said is the only workaround to my situation.

Unfortunately I can't/won't feel comfortable with an unlocked device like that..........
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
Then widgetlocker is not for you mate.

Perhaps you misunderstand the purpose of WL.

Disabling system security is not really a "work around"..

It's really just something required to make WL work properly.

Your issue doesnt sound like a bug, more like a misunderstanding of the application?
[Android Apps and Games] lightsout:
Checking the bottom options on each screen shot you posted only disables the status bar for me. On 4.3
[Android Apps and Games] svortevik:
Is it possible to get an "unlock button" and not sliders?

I want to long press a icon and then unlock.
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
It actually doesn't make sense to bypass the pin when opening the camera as you can open the gallery from the camera. So you would potentially open your home made movies for anyone who picks up your phone ;)

I use Unlocker in combination with WL.

Unlocker marks some zones as 'safe' and when it's able to connect to a marked wifi or BT host it disables the security AND bypasses WL (if you chose to).

So when at home you don't have to enter your pin 643 times a day!

But as soon as you go outside of a safe zone both WL and the pin get enabled again for max safety.
[Android Apps and Games] deli pastrami:
Htc allows this with their camera. Only pictures are allowed, hitting the gallery prompts with entering pin. The dev himself also mentioned that 4.2 camera app is able to do this - it's not impossible.
[Android Apps and Games] svortevik:
I have a problem.

When starting WidgetLocker it shows the last page in background. If I start it from app drawer it shows every app from that page in app drawer in the background. I attach a picture so you can look for youre self.

This makes it impossible to configure the way I want.

Any tips on how I can fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] deli pastrami:
Are you using Nova launcher? This is a guess but perhaps you can try going into drawer settings - advanced and checking automatically close . Maybe that will work
[Android Apps and Games] svortevik:
I have Nova and Apex installed, none is sett to standard launcher yet as am not done with my setup:)

The problem started when I tried to set the background in WL to a all black one. I downloaded a different background and now it works perfectly. Not sure, but I think the problem was because of the small resolution on the first background I tried...
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
Yes, it is.

Get it like this...

Open widgetlocker-

Long press and "add custom slider"

Choose the first theme option (the one that is set when you open it ( Theme- [android ] )

Now you'll have a slider on the left and one on the right...

Slide one slider over and choose "Disable" for its action.

Do the same with the 2nd slider...

Now you'll see just a circle in between where the 2 sliders were...

Tap the circle.., then choose "widgetlocker actions" and select "Unlock" for its action.

This circle is now your tap to unlock button, you can leave it as is or change the icon to whatever you want.

I'm not sure about your "long press" option...

but maybe you'll figure that part out. :)
[Android Apps and Games] svortevik:
Thank you so much:)

Only one more thing then.

Is there any way to make WL not light up every time someone send me a message on facebook?
[Android Apps and Games] nsx82:
Hi guys!

I using custom rom (aokp) with sgs3 i9300. i also using onscreen navbar to have full nexus excperience :) I think WL detects my phone as a factory S3 without onscreen navbar, then and i dont have option to hide the onscreen navbar. Is that possible to force this option somehow? on my nexus 7 with aokp WL works fine, all onscreen navbar is hidden. i'd like to have the same. i'm interested in any modification and idea, thanks in advance!

ps:i did try to modify the settings file of WL, but no luck. :(

Greets: Karoly
[Android Apps and Games] gidian:
Go to "Advanced" in Options then "Root Helper"
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
Welcome. :)

Hmm, I'm not sure about the FB message thing..

I don't use facebook on my phone, but it never "lights up" when I get a message/notification of any kind.

That would really annoy me.

I'm guessing there's a setting somewhere that wold prevent this from hapening,

But I'm not sure if it would be in WL (i looked, didnt find anything), or in the FB app, or somewhere else..

But you should be able to prevent it from waking up whenever you get a message. ( I assume, since it doesnt do that to me).

Sorry mate, wish I could help more.
[Android Apps and Games] deli pastrami:
Might be in the actual messaging app. I used to have a "wake on message" option that did that
[Android Apps and Games] imdaman99:
I bought this on Amazon 2 and half years ago. I went to try to update the app... and it's not on Amazon anymore now, so I guess Kevin doesn't support it on Amazon anymore :(

Is there any way to transfer it over to the Play Store if I could prove I did indeed purchase it on Amazon?

i think you can update wl from the settings menu

Not compatible with Note 3?

Got my Note 3 when it launched - installed widgetlocker with no issue - today when i tried to add more widgets on the lockscreen with long press nothing showed up. Then check the app store and it said that the app is not compatible with my device...anyone else experience this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] dewd2:
Same issue with my Note 3.
[Android Apps and Games] lordcloud1:
I'm not having this same problem, but widgetlocker definitely isn't working with my Note 3. If I long press, I can't see the menu that pops up. But this only happens after a little bit. I had to clear everything out. Go back in and add everything I wanted and then from there I can use it. But I can't change anything now.

[Android Apps and Games] #sharath:
Bought the app and loving it.

I'm having 2 main issues with it:

When i press power button to see my lockscreen,my homescreen flashes for a second,then goes back to WidgetLocker lockscreen.

Sometimes i see stock lockscreen instead of WidgetLocker lockscreen.
[Android Apps and Games] lordcloud1:
I can't even find widgetlocker in the play store now

[Android Apps and Games] utsav911:
Happens with me too. I guess it's because of WL not being system app.

And can you access camera from standby while widgetlocker is on?

[Android Apps and Games] dewd2:
FWIW, I was able to restore from a backup from my previous phone. While it has a few glitches in edit mode, it seems to work fine as a lockscreen.

[Android Apps and Games] czhao421:
I am very sad that it isn't working :( I love that app. I might be wrong but the last time aby update happened from them was back in 2011 from what I saw......
[Android Apps and Games] theorioles33:
Actually they JUST did an update on October 8th. Unfortunately it had nothing to do with the Note 3 issues. Right now you cant even install it on the Note 3. Its blocked on the PlayStore so they are aware. Hoping for an update soon.
[Android Apps and Games] HarlyFan:
I agree with everyone I really miss not being able to have WidgetLocker, it is certainly one of my favorites for customizing!!!
[Android Apps and Games] zard:
So looks like I'm lucky because widgetlocker is running on my Note 3 N9005 since 2nd or 3rd October.

[Android Apps and Games] J.Diogo:
First of all. Congratulations fo the great app, maybe the best Android app of all, if not the most useful and funcional one.

Secondly, I only wanted to give a suggestion for a new funcion for the app, it could have the ability to let the user create pages, just like the new Android Stock LockcScreen. It would be very usefull, and there is no other app thar does that so...... Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.

PS. Sory for my english, I am portuguese. xD

Running app disappears after unlock

I have a stock AT&T Galaxy S3 that recently was upgraded to 4.1.2 (problem did not occur before that)

If I have a running app (say Flip Board -- but anything) and the screen times-out or is turned off, then when I turn on the screen, WL is up exactly as it is supposed to be. If I wait a few seconds (approximately >3-4 seconds) then WL unlocks and I see my previously running app right where it should be.

If, instead, I unlock in under 2 seconds (which I usually do if I am trying to get back to my running app after a screen timeout), the app that was running appears for a split second and disappears and all I see is my home screen.

I am attaching a logcat that has both scenarios. I started the logcat at approx 10:50:00 and preformed the following actions at approximately the times listed:

10:50:10 Turned on screen

10:50:20 Unlocked via slider (app that was running is still shown - yay!)

10:50:30 Turned off screen

10:50:40 Turned on screen

10:50:42 Unlocked via slider (I see app for a split second, then my home screen - the problem!)

I tried looking through the log to see the difference between the unlock at 20 seconds past and the one at 42 seconds past but am not experienced enough in debugging android to see what is going on. This doesn't happen on my Galaxy Note 10.1 (also running 4.1.2) but I do have a lockscreen set to that for pattern lock.

I'm not sure if this is a WL bug or a strange interaction with another app I have installed, but I'd love some help figuring this out!

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

problems with widgetlocker....

I have two problems with wigetlocker, first is that I can't get rid of my regular locscreen so I end up with the widgetlocker lock screen to open first and then there is the regular lock screen that appears and that I have to unlock. Where do I go and what do I do to get rid of the regular lock screen so that I only have the widgetlock screen working ?

And the second problem I have is that, I don't know how I did this, I have two unlocking icons on the lock screen and don't know how to go back to just one.....have a look !

[Android Apps and Games] fremar:
Oh interesting, to bad I can't seam to join the beta testing. Bought widgetlocker directly from the developer through PayPal. Was before we had access to play store here in Sweden. Haven't gotten any response from him if I can get the beta somewhere else than through play store ?
[Android Apps and Games] nsmart:
If you want to try the new beta which works with Kitkat 4.4.1 and above you can download it from within widgetlocker. If you cannot start widgetlocker because you are already on 4.4.1, then you can access widgetlocker settings using a launcher that supports creating shortcuts to activities (e.g. Nova Launcher) -> Create shortcuts - activities - widget locker - preference activity -> enable beta downloads.
[Android Apps and Games] horhokokki:
Hurraaa! Yea! Beta is working nice with Kitkat 4.4.2 .. good work!

But some problems with shortcuts in lockscreen, going straight forward to home screen, not open the shortcuts.

So when using the app, I have the notification bar disabled (using RootHelper). However, when I unlock my phone, I can still pull down the bar and it tries to raise up the soft buttons (which I also have disabled).

Does the version on the Play Store works with 4.4.2 on the Nexus 5? Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] paul c:
Hi, been using WidgetLocker for about 2 years on a variety of phones and ROMs - most recently my Nexus 4 with KitKat 4.4 and as of today, 4.4.2 (4.4 was the PSX ROM, and 4.4.2 is the Purity ROM)

WL 2.4.2 was fine with KK 4.4, but when I installed 2.4.3, there is one major change - the navbar has to be swiped up, to make it visible. Both ROMs feature immersive mode, but in both cases it has been switched off.

I had WL configured to unlock on pressing the back icon in the navbar which was very convenient - but with 2.4.3 that means 2 actions (swipe up plus press back icon) instead of just one, which is making unlocking a bit messy at present.

Actually, KK introduced a minor anomaly for me, - in 4.4 and 4.4.2, it will unlock with either the home or the back icon. That is not a problem for me, just thought I´d mention it.
[Android Apps and Games] paul c:
Bump.... Kevin, any thoughts?

I'm also getting the "google instructions" as mentioned in recent posts, occasionally when my phone wakes up. I can ignore it, unlocking the screen with the back/home buttons. Would be good to iron out these bugs, seems KK has challenged WL's architecture. I think I'll have to review my rating on Play...
[Android Apps and Games] Yaminashi:
I know this has probably been asked but I didn't see any solid answers when I did a search.

[Android Apps and Games] 6illes:
What package name do I have to put in 'Popup settings > Hide other' so that facebook messenger won't come on top of WL anymore. This app completely ignores the locker, so annoying.. I've tried alot but it doesn't work.

Edit: The problem lies with the Chat Heads, I've disabled them for now but I'd like to see a fix so I can use them again ;)

Thanks in advance!

When waking up the device with the home button, widgetlocker appears but often also the list of latest used apps which is quite annoying. Any way to get rid of this behaviour?
