Easy Wake Mode does not create a wake lock, all it does* is disable the stock lock screen, and the stock lock screen is normally responsible for blocking the volume buttons from waking the device.

(* Okay if you have pin/password it does some tricks, but without security it simply disables it).

WidgetLocker only holds wake locks for a few seconds at a time, right around screen on or screen off just to give it some time to work.

Android behaves a bit funny when there's not a sim card in a device. It more aggressively wants to show the stock lock screen because that tells you there's no sim card. I've known about this conflict but it rarely effects actual users as they tend to be using phone with sim cards. I ended up putting dummy sim cards (no service) into my test phones to avoid it. I'll keep this in mind (and have one idea that might work), but for now I recommend either throwing a spare sim card in there or using easy wake mode. Airplane mode, and then reenabling wifi, might work also, however then every time you reboot you'll have to manually turn wifi back on.

No. WidgetLocker requests it when first starting, if you have root helper enabled. There's also a special case on Samsung devices, due to buggy Samsung firmware corrupting app data and WL detecting this and using root to fix it, but it's a one time operation only (Unless you deny the request).

This.

I really like your app, and it's very useful since my power button broke down! But now, with the last update, I LOVE it! It's amazing, please don't stop updating it!

Thanks for your effort!

Any chance in the future you can implement a lock system I like using a pin password on my dinc but on cm7 and miui if i use a pin the stock lock screen does not get by passed at its annoying to have to unlock to lock screens
[Android Apps and Games] beardedspoooon:
Not using a task killer, but I did have the notification icon disabled, will give that a try and see what happens. Thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Tonyphase:
This app is awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] kriswl:
does anyone else have the issue of sliding 2 times before it will unlock?
[Android Apps and Games] badbull99:
I've had this problem too but since enabling "easy wake" the problem is gone.

Pop-ups

Is there anyone that is using this app sucessfully with either GoSMS or Handcent pop-ups enabled? I've tried both. With Handcent, it disabled the pop-ups. With GoSMS, it not only disables them, it marks the messages as read, so there's no way of seeing new messages.

I'm using an Incredible, rooted but otherwise with stock Sense 2.2.

Is there some setting I'm missing, or is this app just a sunk cost?
[Android Apps and Games] flowtec:
No problem here with handcent. Pop-up is working.

(Desire/GingerVillain 1.6)
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
GO SMS didn't work well at all, I deleted it, I'm going with the stock SMS program now, I don't want to make it any easier for anyone to use my information.
[Android Apps and Games] Ashhong:
The popup for GoSMS works fine at first. However if I dont touch the phone and the screen turns off, then the popup disappears and it also marks as read. I asked the creator of WL but I forgot what he said. He did say he was working on it though
[Android Apps and Games] flowtec:
@rskkgb

BTW: Do you had a look at the popup settings? Maybe you should play around with these options in handcent.

I also remember the first use of handcent - i believe i had to turn off the popups in the standard/stock sms-app.
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
Sigh.. I think the developer is not updating anymore for this. Didn't see him around already.

I can't find this in the market. I'd like to buy this app but i can't get to it...has anyone gotten to this app using market enabler? if so, what settings did you use? I want this app!!!
[Android Apps and Games] TiwitAnoid:
Great app...about to buy it ...just have a little question about battery consumption ..sorry if this already been addresses

I haven't bought any app before and not so sure how to pay thro the market or papal ...if someone kindly walk me thro the steps involved in buying this great app

Thanks to the developer and keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] f4stb4ck:
Was my first paid app as well and I haven't regretted it ;)

Payment is pretty self-explanatory, if you follow the on-screen advice in the market. Or you can login to Paypal and send the price via email to the developer. Then he sends it to you by mail. Went pretty fast.

Another thing I was wondering, haven't found anything in here yet:

Is it possible to use the Sense skin without the clock? I love some of the minimalistic themes there, and would like to combine them with the minimalistic text app.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin2516:
I was just wondering, would it be possible to change the colour of the sense clock in a future update? Or if it is already, could you tell me how? :O

I've been using WidgetLocker for a while now, only have 3 problems.

One is a problem with the widget, so I won't mention it.

Another is the lag when unlocking, sometimes it takes 2-3 seconds, longer than that animation, but this happens rarely.

The last, I'm not sure if it's a problem, or more of a feature I'd like to see....

Whenever I get an incoming call it shows the original lockscreen, all ugly and stuff. Is there any way you can just make a popup to show who the caller is, with the "ignore with text msg" feature (i really do use it), and change the "unlock" slider to answer the call?

Is there still an issues with CM7 Theme Chooser and Widget Locker?!

I want to purchase this app for my Thunderbolt but do not want it to break and become unusable once I flash CM7 and start using the Theme Chooser.

Thank You! This app seems awesome for theming :D

Is this how most people modify their lock screen?
[Android Apps and Games] TiwitAnoid:
Hi Kevin can u pm me ur email address so I can send u the payment by email thro papal mate...

Great work ..ur my first paid app
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Not possible right now, but planned.

I'll keep this in mind. Need to figure out of it should be doable by the theme, user, or both.

WidgetLocker sometimes needs to wait for the security lock screen. Or WidgetLocker might be done but it's still displayed because the app behind WidgetLocker is slow to activate.

This would be the incoming call screen, not the lock screen. It's beyond the scope of WidgetLocker to replace the incoming call screen. The screens are very different, (They just often look similar), requires different tricks to replace, and Gingerbread limits possibilities even further. I'd like to make a call screen replacement in the future, but I don't know that I'll have time, WidgetLocker keeps me rather busy as is.

[Android Apps and Games] bmcclure937:
Please see my above post. I am curious whether the issue still exists with CM7 and the Theme Chooser. This could be a deal-breaker for me.

Also, is this how most people theme their lockscreen with new "unlock" graphics? I was not sure if this was the best way to do that.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I don't know, I don't follow CM7 development much since they don't accept bug reports from prereleases anyway. It's possible they've fixed the issue by now, or possible they haven't.

WidgetLocker attempts to bind to a widget according to the SDK docs and how Google's launcher2 is implemented. CM7 w/ Theme Chooser denies WL from doing so. If WidgetLocker doesn't have access to the widget, there is nothing to display.

WidgetLocker is definitely the best and easiest way to theme your lock screen:

Hey! Thanks for your prompt reply and awesome info... I am just now getting into the theming business. :)

Thanks for an awesome product. This looks like the go-to solution.

I cannot wait to check out the themes that are available!
[Android Apps and Games] backdafucup:
If I want to make Truecaller - Caller ID sms popup active, but want it to stay "behind" widgetlocker, then I should add com.trueCaller.full.eur to hide packages in settings, right?

Because thats what I've done, and the sms popup still comes over widgetlocker. ??
[Android Apps and Games] FLAC Vest:
Great application; I normally have my phone fully unlocked with an application when sitting at home or in a stationary place.

When I'm off to class or out doing things, I have this application always active to allow me to instantly open SMS, calander (along wwith a widget), twitter, gmail, phone, etc.

Great program.

Humm, am still have flickering between the default lockscreen and widgetLocker, half a second when i powser the screen on, dont know if it have bin adressed before, but are there a way to fix this? I have the default android screnlock

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rskkgbk:
Yes, I've tried the settings in both Handcent and in WL. Either the pop-up is over the WL screen, or it doesn't show up at all. No way to get it to not show up until the screen is unlocked.

Handcent is better than GoSMS, because it'll at least show unread messages. But no pop-up. Then after disabling WL, I'll suddenly get the pop-ups from previous messages.

I've found a problem with this app.

I've recently installed CM7 and love it so far - although there is a problem, in that WL keeps removing my widgets from the lockscreen on reboot.

I've uninstalled the theme chooser app through Titanium, as was discussed previously, but this issue still occurs.

I've had to move back to stock lockscreen. But I LOVE this app and would love to use it again.

Can anyone help?
[Android Apps and Games] byrong:
The presence of Theme Chooser itself isn't the issue, but whether or not a theme is applied. I use CM7 as my everyday rom and have no problem with WL because I leave the Theme Chooser set to "system." I did not have to uninstall Theme Chooser.

If you did not revert back to System before uninstalling Theme Chooser, you might not have fully fixed the interaction issue.

Delay between sleep and lock

Hello! Is it possible to have some delay between turning off the screen and locking the device (like in the stock locker)?

It's useful, coz if you press any button just after (few seconds) screen goes black you can continue your work without unlocking.

Love this app! But there's one thing that bugs me. I'm running CM7 on an evo and I have the MIUI_Moto theme and when I drag the transparent sliders down, it doesn't show the icon actually dragging. Just wondering if it's something I did wrong...

Hi,

Great software however I have 2 problems which most people are aware of and I have tried to go through the many posts on here with the same problem but was unable to find any help.

the two problems are : home key bypasses security and the second one.. there is no actual lock (number or pattern) could that be a implemented? like have your own lock?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] xranium:
I'm facing the same issue, anyone got the same problem here?
[Android Apps and Games] Leshy01:
So I've looked around and couldn't find a post with similar detail to this. I'm using CyanogenMod 7 RC3 with WidgetLocker 2.0.2 on my Droid Incredible.

When WidgetLocker is active, and a pin/password keyguard is active, the default system unlock screen is also activated. Meaning, when I wake the device, WidgetLocker shows up and I unlock, then the system unlock screen shows up and I unlock that, and then finally the password shows up and type that in. When I use the pattern/none for a keyguard, that does not become an issue. It's WidgetLocker, then straight to the password or with none then it goes to the homescreen.

I don't know if it's a CM7 issue, a Gingerbread issue or a WidgetLocker issue. Also I'm using the default theme in Theme Chooser.
[Android Apps and Games] Maedhros:
Hihi ^^

Looking to purchase this.

just have a few questions.

I use a Desire HD sense rom. I like the default Music player + alarm.

Some1 who has this app and told me to buy it told me that there is a slight issue with alarm.

When alarm goes off... he must unlock... slide down notification bar and click it then dismiss, instead of like HTCs lock, where u slide it. Is there anyway to make this app so that when alarm goes off we get regular HTC lock screen?

Same with music... I like music controls on lock screen, is it possible to get that with this app?

Thanks :D

How about a way to have Widget Locker auto rotate if auto rotate is on?

The only thing I see are WL>Look & Feel>Screen Orientation>System Default, Force Portrait, Force Landscape, or Sensor.

The problem is System Default doesn't rotate the lock screen is Auto-rotate is on. FP and FL are obvious. And Sensor only rotates the lockscreen.

The problem is, I only want the lock screen to rotate when auto-rotate is on. My reason behind this: I have a car mount for my phone and I am using Tasker to turn on auto-rotate when my phone connects to my car bluetooth.

My goal is to have WL auto-rotate only when the OS have auto-rotate enabled.

Hey Kevin, love the widgetlocker, still the best lockscreen app out there :D

[Android Apps and Games] gtzkingplaya:
how do i add themes?
[Android Apps and Games] m3thods:
What I did personally was download the theme on my phone, use astro to find it, and when I pressed it a popup asking me "what program would you like to open this with?" showed up.

I chose WL and went from there. Is there an easier way?? Hahaha
[Android Apps and Games] gtzkingplaya:
thats easy enough but i have no luck im using my moto atrix i just downloaded astro went into my sd card fond the zip file but it keeps trying to extract it instead of open it with widget locker
[Android Apps and Games] charlie_su1986:
You could just copy the zip to /sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/theme

Once it's there you should see it appear in WL themes selection
[Android Apps and Games] m3thods:
That's odd my sgs running astro just opens with WL. Maybe it depends on the file.

^ Thanks for that heads up!
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
The file name has a specific syntax to get it to open up with WL. they have to end with wltheme.zip, so, for example, simplismSense.wltheme.zip. If I click on that link when on my Captivate, it downloads, I click Open, and it will ask me what app I want to open it with, and WidgetLocker is at the bottom. I select WL, then I'm given the option to install and use it immediately or just install it for later use.

hi guys

widgetlocker is an awesome program to customize the lockscreen but 1 thing is that it does not show 'new messages' or 'missed calls'.

I just need a notification (visually and not just sound) to alert me of a new sms, new emails etc. is there anyway to show these visual notifications without specifically putting a fixed widget in place, cos the lesser stuff on screen, the better for me. or is there a widget that does this, if what i suggested earlier is invalid? or i hope u get what i mean.

also, 1 more thing, how to u disable the menu when it is in lockscreen mode. cos apparently you still can press the 'menu hardkey' and pop out "add, notifications,refresh themes, settings" options. i want the phone to be a 'locked' down as much as possible without anyone tinkering with my settings.

thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Check out MissedIt!, a new widget under development. I like it better than TxMissed (no longer under development) because if there aren't any e-mails, texts or calls missed, the widget is invisible if you set it up right.
[Android Apps and Games] joopbloack:
thanks for the tip! you mentioned "if there aren't any e-mails, texts or calls missed, the widget is invisible if you set it up right" would this be in the widget settings or widgetlocker settings?

and also, how do u disable the widgetlocker menu when it is in lockscreen mode? because while in that mode, you still can press the 'phone menu hardkey' and a list of options would show.

this would allow anyone to customize my lockscreen? i mean when i lock my screen, i expect no one would have the ability to tinker with any of my phne settings. is there an option here or did i miss it?

thanks again

Settings -> Buttons and Inputs -> Allow Menu Button. Uncheck it.
[Android Apps and Games] opher50:
I love that app alot ! theres one wierd problem ... the screen timeout is way too fast! not the timeout from the lockscreen it self ... that can be changed , but when you unlock your phone it locks back much faster then with the regular lock screen of the device ...

any idea how to solve this?
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
In the MissedIt settings. You can set the background to be invisible, so all that shows up are the events.

You need to go into your settings in WidgetLocker into Buttons and Inputs, and uncheck Allow Menu Button.

There's a button for that ;)

Hi guys,

Great app but I just have a little annoyance with it. When my phone is idle for a few seconds, the screen would turn off. Without widgetlocker, I can bypass the lockscreen and continue using the app that I was on but with widgetlocker, I have to slide to unlock every time the phone turns the screen off by itself. Is there any way of fixing it?

ps. I'm running custom 2.3 rom on Desire
[Android Apps and Games] joopbloack:
originally i have poweramp lockscreen on when the music is playing.

how do you guys make poweramp lockscreen and widgetlocker work together? is it possible to show poweramp lockscreen only when music is playing and show only widgetlocker when there is no music playing?

how do you guys make yours work together?
[Android Apps and Games] clumsywob:
Is there not a way to have Widgetlocker autorotate with the OS setting? I would think "Screen Orientation" set to "System Default" within Widgetlocker would set it to whatever the OS is set too. It seems like a bug to me.

[Android Apps and Games] viva.fidel:
Hey, I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a widget that could display unread call/message counts when they are there and be invisible when not (similar to phantom music controls)

I know adwnotifier shows unread/unseen counts but I don't want to have the app slider on widgetlock, I just want something that says "1 missed call/1 unread sms", similar to the htc sense lockscreen

[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
Is the dev still developing for this app? No news at all from him!
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
At least once a week someone asks this. He posted earlier in the week. Developers have lives.
[Android Apps and Games] joopbloack:
thanks for the replies guys! :D

is there really no way to have poweramp lockscreen appear only when listening to music and have widgetlocker lockscreen as the deafult lockscreen?

also, another issue is that when using missedit or the sms unread count widgets, the notification will show up, then disappear immediately! meaning if someone sms me, it will show "1" on sms unread count and the "1" will change back to a zero immediately. What gives? missedit also just flashes the notification and disappears.
[Android Apps and Games] byrong:
Actually, it's not even that someone asks once a week... it's just bryant_16 every time:

2/15/2011

2/16/2011

2/21/2011

3/13/2011

3/25/2011

Notice that he keeps asking/pestering, even when it is demonstrated to him that the Dev is still actively working. Check out the March 13 and March 25 quotes specifically, where people point out recent updates that he apparently ignores as evidence that anything is being done.

Good lord, it's like being stuck on a road trip with an eight year old: "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
