WidgetLocker 2.2.2 public beta 1

Fix wallpaper cropping quality

Fix clock memory leak

Fix show labels being unselectable

Fix battery level

Fix Sense3 sensitivity

Fix HomeHelper + RewtHelper errors

Fix FCs

Hide Notification Bar on Honeycomb dims system bar

Public Beta framework

Samsung Glass autoswipe

Bypass GO Launcher animation

Updated translations

The public beta update framework is not well tested (It's a bit different than for private betas) so you might need to manually install the next public beta, we will see.

Market Users:

http://teslacoilsw.com/tmp/WL_2.2.2beta_market.apk

Private beta users:

Ensure Experimental > Check for beta updates is checked then just Check for updates

No public beta for paypal or amazon users right now. If there's interest I can try to set it up.

Feedback needed. Especially on the wallpaper one as I didn't test too many images or too many devices. Note you will need to recrop your wallpaper, this update won't fix a bad looking one from 2.2.1.
[Android Apps and Games] jgraper:
Installed the beta on my Droid 3 with go launcher as my shell.

Didn't see any screen flips when I rejected a call and didn't see any weird interaction with go launcher screen animations.

Haven't used WL much so I might be missing something.

Did notice that widgetsoid lock button still works and gives me the stock lock screen even if WL is activated.
[Android Apps and Games] DoubleYouPee:
Found something else.

When using landscape on my droid 3 (got qwerty-slide keyboard), sometimes it looks like this:

and sometimes is looks like this:

Any way to always make it like the 1st one? Or separate settings for landscape mode?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] arty:
hmm the 2.2.2 beta1 doesnt fix the animation. no bypassing on go launcher it seems...
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
Beta did not completely fix wallpaper image issues. Some images look slightly better but I'm still getting choppy/tinted transitions on blacks and Grays especially gradients
[Android Apps and Games] phoenixs4r:
Sense 3 lock screen is functioning much better on the public beta, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] radicalgel:
Fix for (1) - Maybe

Ok for those who have issue (1):

1) If I receive a call and reject it, my stock lockscreen is visible for a fraction of a second before WL kicks in.

SOLUTION: I activated Easy Wake and this seems to have miraculously fixed this issue where the stock lockscreen randomly appears for a second before WL kicks in.
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
One more request and it may be a complex on but could you also add layers for widgets when widgets overlay is on, if not maybe just when blocking touch in a widget it also sends that widget to the back.

I ask this because this minimalistic widget blocks half of my slider even after I add the slider last, WL soon refreshes and put the widget back in front even though the widget is disabled. (Minimalistic txt is the part that says Verizon Wireless)

Because one signature isn't enough
[Android Apps and Games] ithehappy:
Well all I care about is the Wallpaper issue and I can say its almost solved. Almost because the LS wall is now of slightly reduced quality than the original one. As a professional my eyes will catch them ;). That's been about the 480x800 resolution. Its not the same for other resolution walls, they look pretty bad actually, maybe because they get cropped at sine portions.

I am attaching some LS walls and the respective Original ones.

You can see the slightly reduced quality and sharpness in the 480x800 pictures, and the Landscape ones are reduced more in quality and sharpness.

I'd say you need some more time to fix these issues completely to achieve the Non Reduced quality images like Stock LS.

BTW- The Sense 3.0 slider ring unlocks the screen with a very slight movement, it remains.

PS- I've two questions,

What should I select as Home Helper launcher? WL or my default launcher?

And should I enable the option Root Helper?

No idea why WL is there at BBS for a long time! Never seen this for this long!

Thanks in advance.

That happens on my Samsung Epic too. If I rotate it using accelerometer, its fine, but if I open the keyboard, its like the anchor doesn't exist and my lock rotates.

[Android Apps and Games] copecu:
Hi,

on the ICS theme: it is possible to include more applications / actions?

And for the people who carry their Desire in the pocket, the possibility of adding a lag in central hold on the icon before activating its function? That can help prevent accidental unlocks.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] jeff.liu:
Set "com.whatsapp" in hide popup doesn't work. It seems that WL tried to cover the pop-up when power up/down. The bad effect is whatsapp will clear the notification icon. Not a good user experience. Previous WL can left pop-up on top!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] jeff.liu:
Can WL not forground itself when only covered by pop-up during power up/down?
[Android Apps and Games] flixos:
Thanks for another great update, Dev. The only issue i had with WL, the batt one, has been fixed. Great work.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
What are you trying to achieve? Do you want to block a pop up or not??? I thought you said you wanted to block the whatsapp popup. Told you how, now you don't want to it block the pop up?

And what pop up are you talking about during power up and power down. When the phone is booting WL won't be running.... After it's booted it will run.
[Android Apps and Games] jeff.liu:
If possible, I would like WL not block the whatsapp popup. However, in the recent update, the WL will cover the whatsapp pop-up after I turned on my phone when trying to see the message. I can barely see the notification icon in this case and may miss it. In previous version, the pop-up can be on top of WL when I turned on my phone after the sound notification.
[Android Apps and Games] Virnik0:
Personally, I regret myself that I paid for this app. I mean - it is beautiful, fast, usable...but it locks my display during call, so once I'll end my phonecall, I must unlock screen again...it is very, very annoying. Especially when you call often like me. Unlocking screen everytime I end up call, is little bit stressful. What I miss a lot is, that I simply can't set custom icons for sound toggle for both states, ie "muted" and "loud"

I can have this functionality only by using default action icons, not custom ones...
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
By default, WL does not show up during a phone call, you must have turned it on. From edit mode go Menu>Settings>Behavior and uncheck "Show In Call" option. And if unlocking your phone stresses you out... may want to talk to somebody or take a vacation or something..

Also, changing the mute and loud icons are possible, seen screenshots of it done. I only use one slider (minimal) for unlocking, and that's it, so I haven't looked into changing the slider icons.
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
Do you know that you can add 2 more additional actions to the default ICS theme? When editing the slider drag the unlock icon up or down and you can set them. (Unless you already discovered this but want even more actions...)
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Can you send a bug report via Settings > Report Bug so I have some more information? (And please briefly restate the problem to remind me what the report is in regard to).

Can you send a bug report via Settings > Report Bug so I have some more information? (And please briefly restate the problem to remind me what the report is in regard to).

Yeah I should've mentioned this. Easy Wake Mode disables the stock lockscreen and thus this issue. (Unless security is in use).

This is planned. Have to figure out the best way of doing both the actual layering and the user interface though.

1) Four actions are possible now, more are planned.

2) I don't feel the ICS slider is easy to accidentally unlock, but if many users are having this problem I can consider it.

Can you post example wallpapers you are using and let me know your Android version and device type?

Thanks for the sample images. I'm assuming SGS2? I don't know if it's XDA but it seems some of the images are smaller than 480x800:

Colorful_Birds_HD.jpg: 479x798

Peacock_Feather.jpg: 469x781

Scarlett__Johanson.jpg: 479x798

So WL must scale these up to fit which is part of the problem. But I definitely see the issue with the temperature or something on the adidas one and the "be original" one and those are not being scaled up. I'll look into it.

[edit]

Select HomeHelper to block the Home button on the SGS2

Yes, enable Root Helper and the Root HomeHelper, but if you're getting issues with that home prompt showing often on the beta.

How much uptime? WL shouldn't wakelock for longer than 5 seconds at a time.

[/edit]
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
Hey Kevin

Yes I've always noticed Slight scale up when setting wp on WL
[Android Apps and Games] Virnik0:
Well, I'm not an idiot, I know about this option, but I don't have it checked.

I have wiped app's data, and even plain, unconfigured WL does it.

Please stay professional. I do not have any psychic difficulties. Please take in mind that phone means little bit more then simple tech-like toy to me. It's my working tool. And I call a lot.

Yeah, it is possible by hand-editing your apk, yes. But not by standard way. If so, how do you for example setup toggle controlling mute/sound with separate toggle icons for each active state? Only default toggle does it. Sometimes some good theme too. But I think that WL should allow it's users to set such toggles on their own. But that is not too important.

I'm pi**ed off only by LK locking my screen every single call I make/end
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I can look at it if you send a bug report from settings > report bug and briefly restate the problem. If you're on MIUI I have received some reports that suggets MIUI is not admitting it's on a phone call so WL can't respond to it. Haven't had a chance to investigate yet but will.

User themes can change icons. No APK editing needed.

[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
hey Kevin, also noticed I cannot deselect the option to show text under shortcuts. Just stays checked no matter what
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Should be fixed in the beta.
[Android Apps and Games] rdtshaw:
Hi,

I just started having this issue! It's driving me crazy, I've been running WL for a long time and it just suddenly started doing it. I've wiped and reloaded with the same issue. It doesn't matter if I change the "appear in call" setting in WL. I'm running an Incredible with latest miui rom. I'm running adw ex, but doesn't change with the stock launcher. If I disable WL the phone behaves normally, I.e. lock screen in call. Anyone else?

Cheers,

Rob
[Android Apps and Games] jeff.liu:
I also got similar behaviour in whatsapp pop-up but not on dialer screen. Latest WL will bring to foreground when screen on. It seems that WL react more system events in latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] BlackDino:
Is this what you want?
[Android Apps and Games] Persona+:
Hey Kevin wl is causing my phone to restart alot.

Playing pandora plus unlocking = restart sometimes opening the camera from wl does it too and afterwards the display strings change. The setting that changes is display time out it resets to 15 seconds and of not changed will cause another restart.

Yes, I have configured four actions. Apologies for not mentioning it.

Greetings.

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

1) Great. Thanks.

2) HTC Desire has a design problem with the power button because, at least to me it happens that in my pants pocket when I sit down usually turned on, for example ...

I do not know if it would be possible to disable the on screen via the power button ...

Greetings.
[Android Apps and Games] Virnik0:
Nope. This controls behaviour of default action toggle. I meant doing own action toggle, choosing separate icons for every active state, with definig such states...it is hard to explain correctly, but thank you for your effort.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
As Kevin, the Dev of this app stated, you can theme it. No need to change the the APK. Or, since it's called WidgetLocker, the easiest way would be to use a widget.

---------- Post added at 07:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

I'm running MIUI and don't have this issue. Whether I hang up, they hang up, speaker phone or not. When the call ends I see the end call screen. If I'm about to hang up I see the In-Call screen with my red button to end the call. I actually have none of the issues people are posting about. Then again I must just be an idiot that doesn't use my phone enough.

I'm going to go find something stupid to stress about now, like a professional.:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Virnik0:
Which MIUI are you running? I'm on 1.11.4 and once I end up a call, my screen is locked. It is even locked once my display lid off (phone at the ear).

Market Users:

http://teslacoilsw.com/tmp/WL_2.2.2beta_market.apk

Wallpaper: WL wasn't always respecting meta data which was effecting the color temperature in some cases. The No Crop Button wasn't always working. Finally EXIF rotation wasn't always respected.

MIUI: WL uses getCallState() to find out if you're on a phone call or not. This does not require any special permission on standard Android. However MIUI will pretend the phone is idle even when you're on the phone, unless WL has the READ_PHONE_STATE permission. (Paypal and private beta actually does include this permission for licensing purposes so MIUI users on such licenses won't have the issue).

On MIUI WL 2.2.2beta2 will check for the in-call app being active instead. In the future I'll revisit adding the permission, but I'd rather not do it purely for MIUI as users get upset when I add permissions without any benefit to them.

Whatsapp: Still need to figure out what to do here. Without WL their popup appears under the lockscreen. If WL doesn't block it, it may trigger the stock lockscreen. If WL does then Whatsapp dismisses the notification. I'll try contact the devs to see if they can only dismiss on user-interaction.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Pattern lock?

A Droid2 + Pattern + Music (especially Pandora it seems) + WidgetLocker combination causes a reboot for some users. Weird. A work around is WL Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > Droid2 > Don't refresh keyguard. This will cause the system slider to appear before the pattern but if you're rooted WL Settings > Advanced > Root Helper > Autoswipe can handle that.

Not directly possible though I do plan on trying something with the proximity sensor in the future to behave different when in the pocket.
[Android Apps and Games] fischwrap:
This might be a stupid question, and I can't search for the answer right now, but someone if I download a theme zip, I can't extract it with widget locker. for instance, the base pack linked a few posts ago, I can't figure out how to install it. My only option is to extract it with ROM manager or a zip viewer. Am I an idiot? Lol
[Android Apps and Games] arty:
works now! :)
[Android Apps and Games] ithehappy:
You don't need to extract it. Just put that .zip under Widget Locker theme folder (My Files/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker), Done.

Sort of :P

@Kevin,

Thanks for the update. I'll try to put those Walls again and see if the temperature issue is solved or not. I guess it is.
[Android Apps and Games] jeff.liu:
Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your concern in whatsapp. Is it possible for the WL block the whatsapp according to the hide popup configuration?

It seems that my s2 does not bring up the stock screen even popup on top the WL in old version. It is just now no way for me to configure in latest WL.
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
Bravo Kevin

Wallpaper issue fixed. Actually the colors are even more accurate than the WL pre-update

Thank you sir
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
I'm on 10.28 still. Never had this issue in pervious versions though. And I don't see them having changed anything to cause this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] pjprofili:
Thanks for trying to address this, Kevin, but the in-call WL appearance is still happening for me with this beta. Not sure if it makes a difference, but the version of MIUI I'm running is 1.10.21 which has the Android 2.3.7 base.
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
Thanks for the betas Kevin! Everything else seems to be working fine, but I'm still not seeing much improvement as far as Wallpapers go...It looks like the gradient banding issues is gone, but the images are still significantly more blurry when used in WL. Here's some images showing what I mean... One is in the new 2.2.2 beta 2, and the other one is old WL 2.1. I'm gonna link directly to them because XDA seems to further downsize the images, which defeats the purpose of putting them here ;)

Widgetlocker 2.1 w/ crisp, hi-res photos

Widgetlocker 2.2.2 beta 2, noticeably blurry edges on the exact same wallpaper cropped in the exact same way
[Android Apps and Games] creeve4:
Any chance of getting shorter screen timeouts? Like 5 sec?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
The image links aren't working, also can you provide the source image? Did you make sure to crop the image again? If you cropped before the beta it would already have been saved at low quality.

Are you the person that emailed me saying it still didn't work? Trying to figure out if it's not working for one tester or two. I tested on 1.11.4. My guesses:

1) WL isn't detecting you as on MIUI. Settings > Report bug (and brief message telling me this is about MIUI and activating during call) and I can check this.

2) If you or the rom is using a different phone app? I doubt this would change between MIUI versions but don't really know.

Yes, but it's actually harder to implement than it seems (normal android timeout method has a min of about 8 seconds). But planned.
[Android Apps and Games] TTRpwnage:
Hi, was wondering if you can add a text label below the icons in Sense 3.0 theme to make it even similar to the real thing ?
[Android Apps and Games] bee95:
i love this apps. awesome \m/
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
I'm not sure why the links weren't working, but they seem to be working now? Is dropbox notorious for going down for stuff like this? I just started using it, so I dunno...

Here's the original photo. I took a piece out of the right side, if you can spot it. This image and all others cropped fine in WL 2.1 and looked great always...

And yeah I selected this image and tried a couple others and all of them seem to be blurry like this one. And like I said, some of the gradient issues seem to be gone, but all images just look like a blur effect was applied or something...

If it helps you, I'm using a Motorola Atrix, with the qHD screen and all.

EDIT: So it looks like Dropbox resizes images too...The source image appears to be only like 1024x600 or something, but in reality it's like 2500x1600...

Edit 2: Did you change the font size for the date in the clock widget? Looks good!

[Android Apps and Games] rdtshaw:
Hey Kevin,

Just wanted to verify the in-call issue seems to be related to one of the recent MIUI updates. 1.10.28 or later it seems, started after that update. MIUI 1.10.21 on my Incedible was working properly. I loaded up CyanogenMod 7.1 on my incredible last night and WL worked as it is supposed to. Thanks for the help and the great apps!

Cheers,

Rob

BTW: This is one of the usage changing apps on my phone. I *LOVE* hitting power and dropping directly into the app I need, it saves me alot of time throughout the day. I do IT work out of my car; the phone, tablet and power screwdriver are my daily essentials. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] pjprofili:
Not quite that simple, unfortunately. I have the problem on 1.10.21!
[Android Apps and Games] rdtshaw:
It must be with 1.10.21 as well. I didn't do a scientific test or anything, and my memory isn't what it used to be. :) I have the 1.10.14 build on my server. as soon as I get some free time, I'll load it up and check.
[Android Apps and Games] ithehappy:
Alright, done testing with walls with the latest beta. All I can say is that there is no more problem of the quality with the pics sized at 480x800, I believe the Don't Crop option did the trick. But IMO the temperature is a little bit too dark, ain't it?

But the bigger resolution ones still have problems, no 'Don't Crop' option there, that's the reason maybe! The temp still is pretty bad for walls bigger than 480x800.

I am uploading two pics of bigger than 480x800 walls, and one 480x800 one, also the respective original files.

• 480x800, LS wall: (The sky blue is bit on the darker side I guess)
