Hmmm .. I thought you said how to bypass the Stock Lock .. but its not that .. I need to download No-Lock or is there an internal way inside the Widget-Locker?

I love this lockscreen but is there a way to change how the unlock animation works? right now it "minimizes" to a little box kinda, is there a way to make it all fade away instead? if you know what i mean..
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
That depends on the launcher (LP, right ;) ?) and can not be influenced... unfortunately...

Couple of requests for the sliders:

Can we get a slider for Gmail please? And can we also get the number of unread emails/texts/missed calls on the actual sliders themselves? There are widgets around that do this, but it'd look fantastic on the slider.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I was wondering about theming. I guess we just have to wait...? :)
[Android Apps and Games] w0mbat:
Is there any way of telling widgetlocker not to come up when lockscreen widgets for 3rd party media apps are running? I'd like to have the PlayerPro lockscreen come up when I'm listening to music (so i can skip tracks with the volume key) and widgetlocker all other times.

I suppose an option that allowed widgetlocker to skip tracks on vol up and down would sort it to. Any chance Kevin?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Does this PlayerPro not have a normal widget that you could use in WidgetLocker?
[Android Apps and Games] w0mbat:
Yes, but it doesn't seem to allow the "volume keys to skip tracks" function without it's own lockscreen being enabled....
[Android Apps and Games] janflapjes:
I have a problem with widgetlocker.

After booting up the phone, the SIM pin screen shows. When I don't log in immediately, after some time the screen goes off. I have set widgetlocker not to activate on startup, to allow other lockscreens etc., I've tried all the settings. Still, after some time widgetlocker kicks in, and puts itself on top off the SIM pin screen. When I unlock, widgetlocker brings me to the launcher (no I don't have the option "go home" set), and there is no way to enter my SIM pin. Also, the Home key is not functional. Result: I have to reboot the phone.

Is there any configuration that solves this? I am on android 2.1.
[Android Apps and Games] joi93:
Don't know it ther's a fix for this, since i really dont have time to read through 50+ pages about this.

I have the paid version of WL, and when i unlock my phone the slider bar lags a bit, it's not as smooth as i would like it to be. Is there any way to fix this? It freezes just before the point where it's supposed to to, and then jumps forward a bit and then i get to the homescreen, wich is Launcher pro, though i have the same issue with my SGS's standard launcher aswell.

I have a problem on Gingerbread when using Handcent. When I receive a new text it doesn't pop up I have to unlock it and then drag it down from the notification bar. Any help?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
The format isn't finalized yet. But some things that are:

1) Simple format. No APKs to deal with, just a zip file containing images.

2) Image format has changed since the modding the APK method, as those images couldn't easily be resized/streched in a logical manner

After I release the coming update I'm going to look into the different music lockscreens.

Are you running the latest version of WidgetLocker (1.2.8.1)? I don't believe that should be happening on 1.2.8.1, however it could be due to your manufactures overlay. The next update handles the sim pin better.

Another option is to just disable Appear on boot.

Are you using Hide SMS Popups in WidgetLocker? Or if you're using Easy wake Mode (or NoLock which does exactly the same thing) and Handcent is configured to only popup when the phone is "locked" then it won't ever popup. If it's configured to popup always it will work with Easy Wake Mode.
[Android Apps and Games] mingaldrichgan:
I second this request. Icon notifications on the sliders would make the perfect lockscreen for me.

Thank you for an amazing app! Can't wait for 1.3.
[Android Apps and Games] lambasurm:
is there any way to have the power button for strictly "waking" the device?

even if locked, long pressing it makes the power control to pop up (little window with the shut down, reboot etc)

a few "accidents" have happened this way (i.e. me shutting the phone off while simply checking the time)

or is it just a glitch with the combination of nexus one + cyanogenmod and i'm worrying my socks off for no apparent reason :D
[Android Apps and Games] cludedu:
hey i love this app, was the 1st ever app i bought off the market.

but was just wandering if it's a custom rom thing, but after i installed cyanogen, the easy wake feature stopped working.

that was kinda the main reason i bought widgetlocker, so i can wake phone with any button. is there a solution? thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
A little preview for you :) (Yes I'm a bit behind in my email, too much time writing 1.3 and not enough time answering emails lately)

Counters are powered by ADW Notifier

On Stock Android the power options screen is not blocked from the lock screen (And I'd imagine it's not block in cyanogen either). But it is blocked on HTC Sense. It's something I've gotten a few requests for and am looking into.

That's curious, it's possibly due to Cyanogen. Or a different kernel. I know that some newer HTC kernels have stopped the optical trackpad from waking the device even with easy wake mode on. If you send a bug report via Settings > Report bug I can let you know if I recognize the phone model as having such a problem or not.
[Android Apps and Games] ratchet789:
cant wait for this too be released.
[Android Apps and Games] cludedu:
thanks so much! i have sent a bug report. hope you can find a solution! not a big problem tho, still my favourite app purchase to date
[Android Apps and Games] RiiZR:
A very nice app, I hope that theming will ve allowed on 1.3 or next upgrades.
[Android Apps and Games] adamfair:
Is there anyway to incorporate the miui lockscreen into this? Just curious. Or would that fall into the theming category?
[Android Apps and Games] mingaldrichgan:
I. am. so. excited.
[Android Apps and Games] zukers:
I have question for you:

when I don't use Widgetlocker but default lock screen on my Froyo when somebode is calling I don't need to unlock my phone I see first "tab" with name who is calling and accept or deny call. But when Widgetlocker is on, when phone is calling until I unlock my phone (using slider) I don't see who's this.

Is any way to change this?
[Android Apps and Games] Babydollll:
It's in the settings for widgetlocker. You must uncheck "hide incoming call" it's in the option called "popups". If you took the time 2 thoroughly search the settings menu in widgetlocker you would have found it.

[Android Apps and Games] NoFatePPC:
is that UNREAD count on the slider also working for HTS sense and EXCHANGE?

Because at the moment there is no widget that can accomplish this together with the HTC sense.. (exchange)

Thnx for the feedback
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
The notifications are powered by the ADW Notifier method. So only apps that natively support ADW Notifications, or apps that are supported via the "ADW Notifier" method will work. The actual screenshot is of my combined personal and teslacoil gmails.

WidgetLocker doesn't work well with sense roms, no problem here on CM7 for wildfire. Oh, don't forget to enable the 5 second root bypass rule, duno if it will help you sense ppl though.
[Android Apps and Games] Marc.:
used it today, does work great now!

But, for Angry birds I must go to lockscreen and reopen the app to play, it can't if you use this... :(
[Android Apps and Games] 13597:
how can i disable "autolock" when using widgetlocker?:p
[Android Apps and Games] ahkwang:
kudos to the developer for the great app!

i've been using this for the past month on the desire HD without no problems, however yesterday after i flashed to a new ROM (Android Revolution 2.0.8 with OC kernel), the easy wake option is displaying some weird problems. I enabled the easy wake option, then did testing lock and unlock on tool mode. no problems. but if i leave the phone alone for more than 10 min, den try to wake up the screen by using the volume buttons, it doesn't work. :( have to use power button to wake up screen.

anyone with the same problems??? hope there's a fix for this as i really love this app.
[Android Apps and Games] lagaba:
I second that.... for exactly the same reason..
[Android Apps and Games] jimbobalu:
phone search & seizure

Kevin,

Since the recent ruling in California about LEOs (Law Enforcement Officer) able to search your phone would it be possible to add swipe to lock functionality?

I like to keep my phone unlocked as I am constantly accessing my phone and hate to keep doing the unlock pattern but I hate the idea that a LEO can look through my phone at will, even though I have nothing to hide. So if I could easily swipe to lock the phone during an encounter with a LEO it would require a search warrant to access my phone.

This is not a common occurrence for me, it's been years since I've even talked to a LEO.

If this function is already in the app can someone tell me how to enable it?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Spitemare:
There's a WidgetLocker Lock Now shortcut you can add to your home screen. Some launchers like LauncherPro and Go Launcher support triggering the shortcut via a gesture.
[Android Apps and Games] trenje:
I'm still getting stock lockscreen showed before WidgetLocker. I used No Lock to bypass that, but it messes with GO SMS popups, is there any other solution? Running 2.2.1 on SGS.
[Android Apps and Games] Ellingsoc:
I keep getting launcher reloads I have cm7 with launcher pro plus any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] mingaldrichgan:
Just curious... why do you think this has something to do with WidgetLocker?
[Android Apps and Games] Ellingsoc:
Runs fine when I disable it it reloads everytime I unlock the screen
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Launcher Pro should be the default Home app, and you should have the '5 second rule' option on in WidgetLocker. You shouldn't get any launcher reloads that way.

Of course also make sure you're using the latest WidgetLocker.
[Android Apps and Games] Ellingsoc:
Iam and that's how I have it set it only reloads if my phone sits for a while
[Android Apps and Games] jimbobalu:
Not quite what I am looking for.

For the Lock Now shortcut you need to already be using a gesture or password lock. I want to turn on the gesture or password lock from the lockscreen with a widget or gesture but not a toggle as you can just toggle to unlock.

I want to leave my lockscreen unlocked but want to be able to wake up the phone and lock it from the lock screen, before going to the home screen, hope this makes sense. A slide or gesture or shortcut or widget to lock but it cannot be a toggle because you could just toggle the lock off. The lock off toggle would be on the home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Ellingsoc:
Seems like alot if work when you can hit the lock button and do the same? Unless you need the screen to still be on.just locked
[Android Apps and Games] lagaba:
Not quite what you are looking for but if you have Tasker you could create a task to enable the keyguard and trigger it from a task widget on the WidgetLocker screen... the widget would only enable the keyguard not disable it...

I have the opposite whereby the task widget on my home screen disables the keyguard and Tasker enables it automatically when I leave the house... I've set it up so the widget icon changes from a locked padlock to an unlocked padlock when you click it..
[Android Apps and Games] jimbobalu:
So, while you are at home your phone is unlocked and when you leave Tasker turns on the lock for the lockscreen?

Would you be willing to share your task, this would push me over the edge to purchase Tasker, I've been waffling.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lagaba:
Yeah, no probs - here you go..

the zip has my home profile and the keyguard task as well...there's a few things going on in the home profile whilst the keyguard task is very simple..

you'll need to change the profile to make it work for you..

I do recommend Tasker, it takes a while to get into it but it's very powerful, especially once you get into the variables..the only problem I had was getting too zoned into it!
[Android Apps and Games] jimbobalu:
lagaba,

Thanks for the task and profile but I have a question. Where in the Home profile is the Keyguard task called?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lagaba:
Well looking at the xml file I'd say probably somewhere in the section at the end of the file - one of the "Action"sr="actx" bits... not sure to be honest!

... here's a couple of screenshots to illustrate..
[Android Apps and Games] jimbobalu:
How strange, i don't have that in the profile when I load it.
[Android Apps and Games] lagaba:
oops, sorry I might have zipped up an old version..

[Android Apps and Games] Cube1701:
I don't know if you can help me or not.

I have a HTC Desire HD running Leedroid 1.5.1. I also have LauncherPro installed.

I've installed WidgetLocker and when I open it the app crashes and I have to force close. It also force closes as soon as the phone boots up.

Do you know a way around this?

Edit: I've tested another lockscreen replacement and it works fine. It doesn't have what I want so I'd still like to try and sort this one.

Edit2: Gave it another go and reinstalled. Works fine now so ignore this post.
[Android Apps and Games] moosc:

i selected the 'bypass 5 sec root' and chosen adwlauncher ex as system home, but the launcher still reloads after switching on the phone immediately
[Android Apps and Games] Fluffywings:
Having a problem.

I use tasker to disable lock screen when power is plugged in. Sometimes WidgetLocker will crash (FC's) and screws up the notification bar. I can no longer drag it down. I can get it down from the homescreen (menu: notifications) but I can't drag it down. Requires a reboot to fix.

[Android Apps and Games] hachoo:
I'm having an issue where my dedicated red end call button is able to disable the lockscreen without actually 'swyping' to unlock. I have everything disabled in the Buttons and Inputs menu. I also have the red end call button set with LauncherProPlus rather than the Home Helper.

The only way I can stop this from working is if I use Spare Parts to make the end call button do 'nothing'. But this means I can't use it to quickly exit apps/return home nor sleep the screen. Is there any reason why WL still allows the end call button?
[Android Apps and Games] homeschooled:
Froyo's PIN or password is a bit less nice, and I'm looking into but I'm not sure there's much than can be done without root. Right now with PIN/Password setup you see WidgetLocker, slide to dismiss that, then see the stock keyguard, slide to dismiss that, then enter your pin. I'd really like to get rid of the middle step.

my phone is rooted and am requried to have a pin password what can i do to get around this?

love the locker just don't see the point in using it if i have to unlock the screen twice.
[Android Apps and Games] tilt4life2:
Great app Kevin.

Have you ever looked into widget resizing like LauncherPro Plus does? That is the only thing I am missing from this app.
[Android Apps and Games] natious:
Is it possible to add columns/rows?

Nice app, looking forward to when skinning is easier
[Android Apps and Games] Ambious:
I simply love this app, but even with HomeReplacement off and the root bypass, ADW launcher would occasionally restart after unlocking (mostly if device has been locked for a while).

Also, I'd love to see the themes refreshed to match Android 2.3, as the current job/rotary android ones fit 2.2 (maybe you can have the app use the native framework-res.jar? Not sure, just assuming).

Thanks again for this great, great app!

I too am looking for 2.3 sliders and being able to resize widgets other than that its great!
[Android Apps and Games] Jonigigolo:
Hi!

Just bought this app today, and I love it. The reason I bought it is because my power on/off button on my Nexus One got broken, and I needed an app that could help me to turn on the screen with any button, and the pattern lock would still be there. So, the app works perfectly for me, BUT there is a little issue, but only sometimes... The problem is, when I lock the screen with the widget (or pressing the search button), sometimes the screen fades out after 10 seconds and sometimes it never fades out, and it remains on the lock screen forever.

Before I had installed No Lock widget (an app to be able to wake up the phone with any button, but now it is removed) and I still have Lock Screen Widget (to manually fade out the screen when WL doesn't work).

Hope you can help me!

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] sqd:
Widgetlocker is also the first app I bought at the Market (IIRC :p) and I like it.

But I have two problems:

1) Sometimes when Im unlocking the phone, it vibrates once - after this, the phone is lagging, as if it's doing something CPU intensive. After 10 seconds or so, it vibrates three times quickly, and then it's back to normal again. Is this a known bug/issue or anything? I've never noticed this happening with the standard lockscreen, but I'm not entirely sure it has to do with Widgetlocker or not.

2) I flashed the latest LeeDroiD ROM yesterday:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842802

I had 1.2 before that, and now I can't use the Easy Wake mode anymore (it worked with 1.2) - can this be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] nikalai:
It's a great app. After i tested it i decided to buy it and it was a great choice.

Thank you!

With my original LG P500 RON it was necesary to start app manually every time on reboot. Now i use a custom rom and it starts automatically.

[Android Apps and Games] jolinnard:
Every time I flashed a new CM7 nightly, all widgets gone from lock screen. I tried to backup the app with Titanium, but there's no difference. Any solution?

I love this app, but every day I have to restore all the configuration manually (I don't have any slide actions, only widgets).

Thank you very much.

[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
It's a preference setting. Preferences/Buttons & Inputs/Back Button Unlock. Take away the checkmark and it'll be disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
This is an Android limitation. The same happens with ADW or Launcher Pro or anything else that uses widgets. I might try to get around it using root in the future, or at least create some kind of interface so readding them is less of a pain. But right now there is nothing that can be done. Sorry :(

In late testing stages. I can't give a date because I don't know yet.

This sounds like some app is not responding and a debug log is being saved to disk. If you can get a log cat via LogCollector (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.xtralogic.android.logcollector) and email it to me (kevin@teslacoilsw.com) I can see if it's WL or not. If you can get the file from /data/anr/traces.txt even better. If it is WL, the bug is likely already fixed in the next update. But I don't think it would be as after unlock WL is pretty mellow.

Sorry, this would have to be fixed at the rom or kernel level. WL isn't getting any button presses from the system.

It's possible another app is keeping the screen on. Or maybe the timeout isn't being set properly (That code has changed in the next update so it might be fixed then). However you might be better off just continuing to use Lock Screen Widget as that's an instant off rather than waiting for the timeout. I haven't had any conflict using it with WL.

Resizable widgets/sliders will be in the next update. Gingerbread slider theme available for download.
[Android Apps and Games] NoFatePPC:
indeed, but i cant enable/disable that back button in preferences , its grey...

i am using as theme , no theme , and added my own slider... thats why its grey i think
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Because you're using the No Slider layout.

Just set a Back Press Duration to something non-immediate and you can prevent the accidental unlocks while still using No Slider layout.

This is changed in the next update (Back button unlock is force enabled if you have no unlock slider at all, but otherwise it can be disabled)
[Android Apps and Games] NoFatePPC:
Thnx for feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] NoFatePPC:
when is this next update btw? :)
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:

Is there a way to get an unlock system similar to SGS ? I think i5800 has this also implemented. It's nice to swipe anywhere on the screen.
