Yep, WidgetLocker rules, FlyScreen drools. It works really great, and it's fast and always there. No more built-in lock before the lock screen, no more home/back/notification goes past it, etc.. :)

Did a good job on this one, look forward to what's coming.
[Android Apps and Games] ogrenator:
bought!....great work keep it up!!
[Android Apps and Games] Morghus:
A version for us who can't pay would be cool :)
[Android Apps and Games] flynny:
Im interested in buying this for my Legend to solve a problem.

Basically I love spotify but its main shortcoming is it doesnt have lockscreen controls.

Ive looked all over for some kind of hold down volume +- to change current media track but no joy.

Would it be possible to have some kind of overall media controls to add as a widget? What I mean is if anything is using the media output (could be any program) then skipping forward and back would work on whatever it is thats playing but not in focus.

There must be a way to do this ;(

WidgetLock Lag when unlockign to launcher pro test

hey guys check this out and let me know if u experience the same thing .. i am working with the developer ...

if u experience the same thing ... what phone and OS are u running
[Android Apps and Games] b33zy682:
why cant i find this in the market. even with the barcode. i dont want an apk either i want to buy this
[Android Apps and Games] th3taman:
Here's a link. Also search on WidgetLocker...no spaces.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I assume you are in a country that allows paid apps?

And are running Android 2.1 or 2.2?

If those are both true then what phone are you on? I can't think of any other reason WidgetLocker wouldn't be visible. It does not employe the "copy protection" that sometimes blocks market visibility.
[Android Apps and Games] iTouch24:
i heard people on the 2.2 roms ... leaked and beta versions sometimes have issues seeing apps in the market
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Using ADW here, and the ONLY time I see lag is when ADW has clearly gotten killed for whatever reason. Otherwise it comes up immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I believe this is only when the app has the copy-protection option enabled on the market. I don't have that enabled for WidgetLocker (mainly because I want it visible to people on leaked roms)

iTouch24 and I identified the LauncherPro problem as an animation being run by LauncherPro whenever it is activated (and the animation is still run even if it's suppossed to be disabled. It just runs much faster.). I'm going to talk to Fredrico about seeing if WidgetLocker can bypass this animation and also suggest he add options to disable them in general as not all users want them. Also note that this LauncherPro delay is very minor (the length of a quick animation), not a serious lag issue.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Aha, 'splains that then. I haven't really used LauncherPro since trying ADW :)
[Android Apps and Games] bojangalz:
I just found this app today after hearing about it on the last Android Atlas podcast. I love it as is but what I'm truly looking for is a pattern-based lock screen where the pattern points are invisible.

I love being able to customize my lock screen with all of the options that you have included with this app. But nothing would please me more than being able to to away with the slider all together in lieu a pattern lock where the points of contact are not seen.

I would love the added security while maintaining the aesthetics of the unlock screen options that you have included. Perhaps something to consider in any potential updates. Either way your app is quite nice. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ogrenator:

hi kevin@.

Thank you very much for this amazing application.

I use launcherpro and the live wallpaper don't work really good with.

Can you add in alternative wallpaper, an option to choose live wallpaper???

It's will be great if we can used LW ownskined.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
This is a bug in Android 2.1 handling different layouts. Android 2.2 fixes this. In the mean time you can get around this bug with Handcent's Auto-enable on-screen keyboard option.

[Android Apps and Games] Jon.StatiK:
Is there anyway to get the carrier string to show on this or maybe a basic app that creates a widget with whatever text you want?
[Android Apps and Games] bwc_28:
Hi, I'm experiencing a weird problem with WidgetLocker. I'm running 2.1 on a Droid X with Launcher Pro.

Anyway, the issue I'm having is that whenever I go to change the wallpaper in the lockscreen it changes the background for my home screen as well. Also, no matter how I crop the image it always does a weird zoom and ends up blowing the image up way more than it's supposed to.

Anyone else have this problem, or heard of it before? I love this app but one of the main reasons I got it was to change the wallpaper in my lockscreen so it would be different than my homepage. Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] bwc_28:
Thanks Kevin, that fixed the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusLee:
Can you flash this onto a rooted phone so it bypasses the original lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] Likalnik:
Hay,

I have a problem with a battery life. When i instaled this app my battery goes down very fast. In 3 hours about 70%. Where is the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
WidgetLocker cannot be flashed. Where/when are you seeing the original lock screen?

Can you check System Settings > About Phone > Battery Use ? I imagine you'll find that WidgetLocker is very low on the list or not even listed. It really doesn't use much battery since it just waits for events rather than continuously checking things.

If anything "Easy Wake Mode" might be causing your phone to wake up in your pocket, in which case you should disable Easy Wake Mode. Another thought is that if you are using different widgets then it could be one of them is a battery drain.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
What zoom problem are you having? WidgetLocker will have you crop/zoom on the image in the gallery to match the aspect ratio of the screen. You can grab the corners to change the size. Is this not working? I've used it on a Captivate successfully which should be pretty similar to the Epic.
[Android Apps and Games] dwyw42:
Oh ok, I was trying to pinch to zoom and it wasnt doing it, so I couldnt figure out how to just select the entire picture since it was already the correct resolution and aspect ratio, but it's working now that I know what to do. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dwyw42:
Another thing I noticed is that I had Juice Defender set up to disable the data connection when the screen is off and only re-enable after unlock, so I could turn on and check the time without the connection being re-enabled. With WidgetLocker, the data connection is still being turned off properly with the screen, however it is being immediately re-enabled when the screen is turned on. Also, WidgetLocker doesn't show up in the Juice Defender app list, so I cannot configure Juice Defender to force the connection to off when WidgetLocker is running in the foreground.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
In WidgetLocker 1.2.6 I'm adding some broadcasts to help with interactions with third-parties. I contacted the developer of Juice Defender with this information and asked if he'd be interested in supporting WidgetLocker. Hopefully we can work it out.

In the mean time you can use Advanced > Retain System Keyguard . This can have undesirable effects when launching another activity because it keeps the system keyguard running. But it also means JD knows the screen is still locked.
[Android Apps and Games] dwyw42:
Cool. Yeah, the retain keyguard is a little annoying for some of the apps but its more bearable than the 3G constantly reconnecting. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] darkamikaze:
I just did this :( but whenever I load it back.. using adb push comblabla.apk /data/app/comblabla.apk.. i just lose the app :/ and it doesn't recognize or something X_x..
[Android Apps and Games] E_man5112:
I modded it just fine. Use root explorer to go to data/apps, move com.teslacoil.widgetlocker or something like that to system/apps. Reboot. Then, make a copy of the apk and put it on your sd card. modify it. Put back on SD card. Move to system/apps, and it shows up no problem. All without adb.
[Android Apps and Games] darkamikaze:
mmm so i have to make it a system app D: ?
[Android Apps and Games] drew2000:
Thanks for the app, loving it on my device!
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
You shouldn't need to make it a system app, just resign it using the developer key or your own key and it should install like normal.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Link still isn't working for me. I'm guessing the image is still set as private or something? (I don't use Dropbox for public sharing so I'm not sure).

I'm not able to reproduce. I'm testing on a SGS1 right now as my wife is out and the SGS2 is hers, but I specifically tested that Adidas wallpaper on her device before releasing beta2 too. Can you confirm you cropped again using WL 2.2.2beta2? Not just using the settings from the prior install?

Left is yours, right is mine.

Less obvious, but top is yours bottom is mine.

How are you selecting the file? The Gallery or something else? I'm guessing the issue is that WL can't read the exif information.

Looks like the remaining MIUI issue is on varients like SCI, WL just isn't detecting it properly. Will be fixed in b3.
[Android Apps and Games] Virnik0:
Well, I do have this issue from the last update from the Market.

Sadly, I have updated to the MIUI 1.11.4 short after.
[Android Apps and Games] ithehappy:
Yes, I've re cropped that image. I select images from stock Gallery app.

Take your time, things will go easy ;)
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Can you take a screenshot of the crop image screen? Useful to know if the color are messed up already then or only after cropping. Also the images are stored on your phone or picassa or something?
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
Gosh stupid dropbox lol. I tried uploading them all to an imgur.com album, and it seems to maintain proper resolutions and everything, so check it out here.

Hopefully you can tell which screen is which...one has the ICS lockscreen which is beta 2 and the other is WL 2.1.

[Android Apps and Games] copecu:
Hi,

this thread explains how to modify the file "/system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl" to change the power button behavior (and others). Deleting WAKE_DROPPED for 'key 116', screen will not turn on when pressed, but off the screen when you press it.

Obviously it requires root, mount the partition as rw and restart the system after the change.

Greetings.

[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
You can disable the notification bar in Settings > Buttons & Inputs > Disable Notification Bar.

I've been unable to reproduce on my devices or CyangenMod or MIUI.

I fear it might be something in the rom you're using. It looks like bitmaps are loading in a lower mode, which is bad for looks but good for speed. Perhaps the rom is a little too optimization happy?

Yes though it's not streamlined. You'll get two licenses on the same email address but if you email me I can switch one to another email address.

(If you just want to use it on two of your own devices then you just need one license, it's per person not per device).

Are you wpxl? Bug report was still via 2.2.1.

Beta 2 excessively used CPU on my Galaxy S2 (Android 2.3.5, KJ3 Stock ROM with latest speedmod kernel) --- around 50% and more, all the time after the first unlock of the lockscreen!

Edit: Same with Beta 3 --- excessive use of battery

Yes I am. I know, but upgrading to 2.2.2b2 did not fix the problem.

Is there a way to make it so double tapping a widget would activate it? On my XPlay R800x, my screen would sometimes turn back on as I put it in my pocket, and I'd inadvertently start up a streaming music app. With the volume down, my battery drained to nothing in the matter of a couple hours. If we could double tap the widget to activate it, that might prevent it from happening as often. I know of the block click/unblock click, but is there a way to do that with a double click instead of a hold? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
Hey just a feature request here, just for fun...

A little while ago I had requested the addition of user controlled haptic feedback settings (for strength), but I'm also wondering now, for MIUI and Sense styled sliders would it be possible to get haptic feedback once the slider is pulled down? I get a faint vibration when I touch the slider, but there's nothing once I pull it down to complete the action. With the android, rotary, Moto, etc. sliders it vibrates at touch and at completion, so twice overall.

This isn't an important feature, but just a quick something I thought I'd request just for the hell of it. Sometimes when I unlock or something I enjoy that second vibration to confirm, without looking at the screen.

Thanks again for everything Kevin!

How to choose a live wallpaper ONLY for the lockscreen

The thing is I grew addicted to GoWeather's live wallpapers showcasing the current weather, the HD ones are a true sight for sore eyes, the thing is I dont want it on my home screen because I feel it lags me up a bit, and I also dont like how it transitions on to other screens, but mainly because I like static backgrounds for my home.

So I wanted to set the live wallpaper to appear ONLY in the lockscreen (im using widgetlocker) but I simply can't set it to go there; is there anyway to set a live wallpaper only for widgetlocker? I tried browsing my phone's memory (I own a SE Xperia Neo) to see if I could find the live wallpaper myself and set it manually, but I cant find them on there.

If someone can shed some light on this or where the wallpaper got installed to I'd appreciate it greatly ^^

cheers

What if there's a way to do something similar to your lock widget feature? Maybe not disappear but maybe a double tap to activate a widget or something along those lines. Would that be possible?

Ther's a problem with WidgetLocker and GO Sms popups. With the option "Hide popups" on, once I unlock the screen, I tap on the quick answer field of the popup but I can't write anything.

@TeslaCoilSW:I want to buy this app but i wanna know if the next updated versions are free or not & if i switched roms how could i prove i've bought the app?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I've received a handful of reports but I don't have any concert information yet. If you can figure out a pattern or when it happens or anything it will help me investigate.

WL won't lock things for other apps. You can block GO SMS popups in WL Settings > Popups > Hide SMS Popups

It's a system limitation. No way to activate a live wallpaper without it also being for the home screen. I hope to be able to work around it for root users in the future though.

Are you rooted? Autoswipe should work, but autoswipe of the bionic (and razr) style may not be working. Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > Beta Updates > Public then check for updates will give you access to a beta that fixes autoswipe for the Bionic style (Settings > Advanced > Root Helper > Autoswipe > Bionic)

Updates are included. If you purchase via the Market then you can always install the latest version from there, including on a different rom or device as long as you are using the same primary Google account. If you purchase by direct-purchase (paypal) you'll have a download link that always downloads the latest version and the app can download updates itself. When installing the first time on a new rom or device you'll need to enter your email address and authorization code.
