Would love a delay before lock after screen time-out too. Any chance this can be implemented? Using a Samsung Galaxy S (captivate). Not sure if it's because I use the same button to unlock the screen as I do to lock it (Power button).

Having to unlock the phone every time the screen times out is kind of annoying, especially since sometimes it takes a few sec, then shows stock lock screen, then shows WL screen.

Without WL, when the screen would time out, if i hit the power button within ~3 seconds it would just go back to what I was doing.

That is my only complaint. Other than that, do love the app and will continue to use it.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Wondering if anybody has used this Delayed Lock app in conjunction with WL...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=955092

Nevermind, it doesn't work. Every time i go to unlock it does something different... for the most part it disables WL altogether and I never get the lock screen.

i am experiencing significant lag when i unlock. I have HTC evo with htc sense. The lag is almost a full sec after i slide before i get home screen.

is this normal?
[Android Apps and Games] mytouchguy:
is there a way to get rid of the little notification icon in my notification bar...??

not a big issue but i like to keep my stuff clean and that icon is a tad bit annoying... searched the who setting and didnt find anything :?
[Android Apps and Games] FLAC Vest:
How would they even change that? I mean... There isn't really a way to do that... if you want you can switch it so it isn't the slide though; I'm sure it would be less likely for your pocket to use the rotary unlock or something.
[Android Apps and Games] FLAC Vest:
Settings, Advanced, look down to Hide Notification Icon. After installing for a second time it took me a little bit of time to find it :)

Wallpaper with LauncherPro

Hey I was wondering if there was a way to get WidgetLocker to remember which homescreen you were on (I'm using LauncherPro) for the wallpaper position?

I swear it was originally working like this, but now it keeps using the very end one.

Thankyou, WidgetLocker is awesome. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Spitemare:
Settings > Advanced > Hide Notification Icon
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
You using multi-live wallpapers? I dont remember it remembering which wallpaper was on the current screen, but I set WL to have its own wallpaper.
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
I'm wondering if there is more updates to this application. In need of updates to this wonderful application seriously!
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Wow, you really do ask this every couple of days, don't you? The answer is the same as it was on April 3rd, and on all the times you asked in Feburary and March - it'll be updated when it gets updated, when Kevin feels there's something that needs updating. Asking over and over and over again isn't going to speed the process up.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Are you kidding me? An update that does what? You just want to see a different version number?

@Kevin. Please add a .1 to the version number and post it so this guy goes away for a while.... lol.

Hi All,

someone know if is a way to make the lockscreen "wake up" automatic if i get sms msg?

im using motorola Atrix.

tnx alot :)
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
My screen turns on when I get a text msg.. Samsung captivate (galaxy S)
[Android Apps and Games] saar73:
is there special check box for this? i cant find any :(
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
I don't recall ever setting anything. Try the easy wake check box, maybe that has something to do with it.

Also, I saw somewhere a box that disables (?) the stock lockscreen.. anyway, unlocking is much faster now, and I don't get that stock lockscreen then WL lag when you lock and unlock fast.
[Android Apps and Games] Concept000:
No just standard wallpaper, but I use Wallswitch to change it periodically.
[Android Apps and Games] maxjk:
This setting is usually in the sms app (Handcent and GO have it), it's not in the lockscreen app
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
I'm using the stock messenging app..
[Android Apps and Games] superflysocal:
from what i have heard, the lag after unlocking varies with the launcher used.

right now i am experiencing a 1 sec lag with HTC Sense, but not as much with LauncherPro and Zeam. Can people please elaborate their experience with the various launchers they have tried and the lag time?

[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
First I apologize, I know this is covered SOMEWHERE in this thread, but I can't find it.

I'm using this on my Nook Color and I'm using nightly CM7 builds on it, and every time I flash a new nightly build, I have to set WidgetLocker back up. Otherwise, reboots, normal usage, etc, no problems.

Was there a way around this? I know there is a problem related to setting themes and the widgets in WidgetLocker disappearing after a reboot, but that's not the issue.. Just that the widgets are gone after an update flash (no wipe, just updating to the latest nightly).

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Since kevin hasn't looked here in the past two and a half weeks I'll try answer some questions since i've been playing with this for a while. Sorry if the multiple posts is considered spam, but if multiquote worked like I thought it would I'd have done it all in one post.

In advanced settings check to see if unlocking is set to take you to home screen or to the last app. Just a checkbox for taking you to homescreen, so uncheck it if it's checked.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
In options enable the easy wake button. Then in advanced settings hit the bar for "disable android lockscreen." That got rid of that flicker for me. Sometimes still a little delay before the screen actually shows up. (usually when i wake the phone right after the screen turns off and it brings the lockscreen back up instead of just turning the screen back on........ making it not do this is a feature that's been requested repeatedly but we haven't gotten a response regarding that)
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Make sure you also hit the check box to hide the popups, just adding it to the list won't make it hide them, just adds it to the list of stuff that needs to be hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Check to make sure you have messeges enabled, and if u dont use popups disable that in GoSMS app settings. I use GoSMS and have a missedit widget on my lock screen that shows unread texts/calls/emails.. The count on there is right, and will stay there even if i unlock and relock.. I don't think your problem is with WL.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
This answers "khaytsus"s question....
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Try PMing the logcat to him, he also posted his e-mail address somwhere around page 104 or 105...
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Not 100% sure, go into security and set the patern lock screen or download an app protector type app from the market. I believe you have to unlock with the slider, then enter your password/pattern.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Lots of us waiting for a response on this.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
In buttons & inputs settings uncheck Allow home button setting.

=====================

Rest of the questions i think got answered already. Once again, sorry if this is spam, I'm keeping it to less than one page. (if this bothers an admin, can you make multiquote work so that I can hit multiquote on mutliple posts on different pages then when I hit reply it brings all of those quotes in?)

Hope Kevin can answer some of the other questions too, also for those of you with problems running GB/CM7.... kevin doesn't follow CM7 very closely and GB works the lockscreens differently somehow (not sure how, im not a dev) making it "less compatible" (for lack of better words, or thoughts now..) with WidgetLocker, so I feel you may be on your own.. or ask the CM7 devs.
[Android Apps and Games] navigatn:
Is there a way to enable sense lockscreen to override wl whenever there's a missed event (missed call, sms)?

I swear one morning I woke up and turned on the screen on my thunderbolt and there was the sense lockscreen with a missed call and sms notification. I've been trying to replicate that ever since and have had no luck. Anyone know how that happened?

I would love to be able to see missed calls with name and number popup as well as sms msg popup like the sense lockscreen. Right now I'm using missedit which is only a count of missed events.
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
He's not replying. I think he is not updating this application anymore. :(:(
[Android Apps and Games] G8351427:
I do not know why this happens, but I have experienced the same thing. I also see it occasionally with my desktop widgets when updating to some nightlies. If I wipe my device and then restore my ADW launcher backup, it will also show widget errors. I think it may have something to do with how the widgets are referenced and so cannot be addressed.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Doesn't, unfortunately. I'm not using any themes, defaulted to System and haven't ever changed it. You can stop reading now, my next post is to someone else.. Don't want any confusion here ;)

Hey, I have an idea. Why don't you FOADIAF? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
khaytsus, I suggest bringing this problem up in the CM7 thread then, see if the devs will take a look at it since it's only happening on that ROM.

It's because of all the bugs and how badly it cripples the use of the phone that I'm still running 2.2.1 on my captivate. I'm sure with time CM7 will be on my phone, but not until there isn't 150 posts a day about bugs, lol. I also use my camera, and use my phone, don't need it crapping out on me while im at work..
[Android Apps and Games] m4a1rifle:
Great app!

How to get the unlocking animation (fade to home launcher when unlock) back like in v1.2?

right now it just flicker back to home screen, not smooth at all.
[Android Apps and Games] caballon:
Can someone tell me the root of the themes thank's in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Yeah, might be a good idea to do that. Thing is it didn't do this at some time in the past on CM7, and I thought it only happened if playing with Themes. I might try uninstalling the Theme stuff entirely to see if that helps, given I don't use it anyway.

BTW this is on my tablet, but same difference. ;)

I can't use the hardware wake up button on my LG 2x, can the dev please look into it?

It's been very long..
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Ah, yes. There are many other apps and widgets that people have been reporting problems with, and in just about every instance, that user is running 2.3.3. I'd give it a couple months...

As far as the delay before the lock screen turns on, thanks for letting us know it's in the works. Having to unlock 1 sec after the screen dies out every time is a bit if a nuissance, but I'm still using WL lol.

Thanks for the update and info!

It was 36 minutes before your ****ing post! How is that long? Can this be reported as harassment? I'm reporting this either way...

[Android Apps and Games] want a droid:
I can't seem to get my security pattern/pin to work with Widget Locker on my HTC ThunderBolt. Some help would be much appreciated!

If I have security pattern or pin enabled then it results in this:

Screen on > Turn screen off > Screen instantly turns back on without me doing anything

As soon as I disable security pattern/pin everything is fine (ie. Screen on > Turn screen off > Screen stays off)
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Can you confirm this is happening for Pattern? I know you said it happened for both, but I'm just surprised and want to be sure. (I don't have a Thunderbolt, it's software seems different than Inspire 4G/Desire HD).

The issue with PIN/Password on the Desire HD, and most likely the same issue here, is that HTC's lock screen is triggering a screen wakeup if something covers the lock screen, such as WidgetLocker (Which activates at screen off, not screen on). However this doesn't happen if there's a "Lock screen after" setting of anything aside from "Immediately". You can set it to 3 minutes in System Settings > Security > Lock Screen After, or if 3 minutes is too long, you can go to WidgetLocker Settings> Long-press Volume Down > Experimental > HTC > HTC Sense > HTC Security Delay and type in the number of seconds. You should be good with 10 seconds or higher.
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
I can't use the hardware wake up button on my LG 2x, can the dev please look into it?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I've been ignoring your posts as they all seem to be saying I've abandoned the app or pestering me. This is not the way to motivate a dev to communicate with you. And takes away from this thread where other users have something meaningful to say.

I don't have an LG 2x and if Easy Wake Mode is enabled but not working then it's likely something at the ROM level that cannot be fixed from WidgetLocker.
[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
Thanks dev for replying to this question!!! It makes my purchase of your app more worthwhile now.

So you are not going to do something about this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] ayhaadam:
Could you add any lock pattern unlock in the future?

I know it's already build in with stock.

But it looks ugly with stock time/date/etc.. and can not be modified. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
There's nothing I can do in the short term, possibly not in the long term either.

I agree customizable security would be cool, but there's serious technical hurdles in order for a third-party-app to implement security. Such as how to keep the device secure when after a reboot. It's something I do hope to do in the future though.
[Android Apps and Games] want a droid:
Thanks for he help kevin. I used the experimental setting and made it 15 seconds, things seem to be going smoothly.

Was wondering if enabling experimental features did anything else? Like some things are checked automatically, but they shouldn't effect me right?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
You're fine, those preferences are checked and active for everyone else too, just invisible :).

During development I sometimes add something and decide I want it on by default, but for the sake of my beta testers I provide a way to turn it off easily in case it causes major problems. If things look good I might remove the option from Experimental, or I might leave it in. So the options being on rather than off isn't necessarily experimental, but changing the value from the default is.

I have the WidgetLocker Lockscreen replacement on my rooted Desire and I'm having a problem with the BobClockD3 widget on the lockscreen. Often it will not update and show the right time. Have the same widget on my homescreen, but there it always show the right time.

Problem with the clock widget or with the lockscreen replacement?
[Android Apps and Games] pulser_g2:
OK, I'm going to make this a warning for you. I looked through your past posts, and they are all very demanding of developers.

Replying to people 36 minutes after they last post, asking why they are not immediately looking into something, and if they have abandoned it, is just plain rude. I have a good mind to just ban you right here for it.

Please be respectful towards developers, and remember that regardless of if you have bought an app or not, it does NOT mean you can demand they look at everything for you immediately, and doesn't mean they must fix it right now for you.
[Android Apps and Games] obsidianchao:
Couldn't be said better. Granted, if you wait a week or two, you can ask again, but anything less is truly being a ****, implying the dev doesn't work his/her ass off.
[Android Apps and Games] Gh0stBlade:
Hmm ill give it ago thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Unlock and turning on the screen are different. I'm not sure I follow. When you turn the screen off WidgetLocker tries to activate very quickly, but it can't do it instantly and can't do it as quick as the stock lock screen because 1) That's a really simple lock screen and 2) because the stock lock screen is built into the system and WidgetLocker isn't. Samsung devices are also higher latency devices in general.

Not WidgetLocker. Widget updates are handled by the widget itself. It might just be a matter of the clock not updating while the screen is off and Android taking a while to tell the clock the screen is on. There's not much that can be done here (Unless you're using a task killer, in which case not using it will probably speed things up). You probably don't notice on the home screen as it takes longer to get to the home screen than it does to get to the lock screen.

This is definitely true. I get lots of emails and forum posts and am busy and do lose track. If you remind me once in a while I won't mind. Just be polite, I have a much easier time fixing an issue if the reporter is polite because then I'm happy to keep talking to them and sharing more information or possibly a beta. But if the reporter is aggressive I can't get as much information from them.
[Android Apps and Games] obsidianchao:
Damn, you're a great dev! Nice long explanations. I love the app and don't regret purchasing it, but, like... I dunno, that second and a half gets to me. It's like the no-lock-screen apps; by the time I boot up, my finger's already swiped the lock, y'know? Nonetheless, ****in' awesome app, man!

I seen in September of last year that you were planning an update with music controls that would work like stock, but haven't seen anything since then. Is it still something that'll come out? I use 3 different music apps(doggcatcher, poweramp, and pandora) and it was nice having the music controls that came with CM7

[Android Apps and Games] Matty Matt:
So what's the battery life like on this? Does it tug hard on resources compared to the built in lock screen?

WidgetLocker is light on resources. It runs as a background service, but it's idle (not using CPU/Battery) most of the time. WidgetLocker is doing more than the stock lock screen, however it also allows quick access to things so you won't need to have the screen on for as long.
[Android Apps and Games] Matty Matt:
Oh i see! i just thought it was only good if you wanted a themed lock screen :S I've seen the features on youtube and it does look quite good!
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Thats truth. I moved my pandora widget to my lockscreen, now if I want to skip i just turn on screen skip and turn back off. screen is on for less than 2 sec.

(Also for those who don't want to enable interactions in the settings... You can disable interactions on a per widget system. Pretend you're about to resize the widget, (long press but dont move) then youll see a little icon top left to disable interactions for that widget. I did this for all my widgets except pandora, so it's the only thing on the lockscreen that respons input.)
[Android Apps and Games] obsidianchao:
I feel really bad that I don't use this because of the lag between pressing the lock button and the screen turning on, because it's an amazing app... anything I can do to fix that? (I know I asked before, too, but I actually really want to use it....)

I've read a little over a tenth of this forum and haven't seen it yet, but on the stock mytouch4g when the phone is off and you press the trackpad the phone wakes (not unlocked) and if you push it again the phone goes back to sleep. With widgetlocker the trackpad will wake but doesn't put it back to sleep.

I love the app and how customizable it is, but I also love that feature so I'm torn. Just curious if there is any explanation or quick fix that I'm missing? Thanks in advance and great work!!

Edit: I just found your post (592, I think it was) saying it would be hard to explain to users and hard to undo when uninstalling the app. If you're still working on this and need any testers let me know.

This is a bug in CyanogenMod 7 (Theme Chooser specifically) and cannot be fixed from WidgetLocker. CyanogenMod is denying WidgetLocker access to the widgets.

A bug report has been filed with CyanogenMod here:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3167

Please star this issue to encourage them to fix it.

A work around in the mean time is to use the "System" theme in Theme Chooser. More info here:

I wish the System theme fixed it. I've never once changed the theme, but I lose my widgets every reboot since RC4 or so. RC4 fine, anything newer, not.

I have considered nuking all theme apk's to see if makes any difference but I suspect it won't.
