if i understand you right, are you want to disable the popups completely? if so, you can disable it in the gosms settings.
[Android Apps and Games] katsumeiyo:
I want the popups. I just don't want the popup on top of the wl and the pin lock.

with the default lock, the pop ups stay behind the lockscreen and the pin. so even if I get a new message, screen just lights up. but with widget locker, the popup comes up on top of the lockscreen and the pin.
[Android Apps and Games] tobiasth:
ah, ok, sorry can't help you here :(
[Android Apps and Games] tobiasth:
com.jb.gosms is the one you need to block in the widgetlocker settings! :)

this is working for me.
[Android Apps and Games] starbase64:
Hi,

often the lock will open in my pocket.

Please integrate a smarter way so that no longer happens.

For example, using proximity sensor.

I posted this a while ago in this thread. I there any progress yet with a slide to answer or some kind of other option instead of just hiding the call screen when someone calls. Widget locker is the perfect lockscreen, Except for this. Its very annoying to still have to unlock first before I even know who it is calling. I use this option cause it's better than just having the call screen come up and accidentally answer it. I would gladly pay for a second app in the market if that is what is needed to achieve this.

about to do a full wipe, and downgrade from nightlies and see if this will work.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Sorry, came off wrong. I absolutely appreciate user feedback and I absolutely don't know everything and learn more everyday. But WidgetLocker is designed the way it is for a reason.

I'd rather users didn't use/recommend NoLock as then I get bug reports saying "my security is bypassed" or "volume keys wake my device" and I have to say "Are you using NoLock?".

The behavior you describe does not sound right. One possibility is that if security is enabled but you don't use it (and thus use NoLock to bypass the security, but WidgetLocker will try to respect it). I can take a look if you disable NoLock, enable Easy Wake Mode, verify the problem exists and then 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).

planned

WidgetLocker is a lockscreen replacement, not an incoming call screen replacement.

I would love to write an app for the incoming call screen someday, but the lockscreen alone has kept me rather busy for now, and Gingerbread makes answering incoming calls from it's own screen even more difficult.
[Android Apps and Games] Isadora:
I'd love to see some of the auto lock/unlock functions from Pocket Shield (WinMo - the dev currently has no plans to make an Android version) incorporated into Widget Locker
[Android Apps and Games] donhu:
Ok another question Kevin:

I need to make a lockscreen that looks exactly like this:

On first try widgetlocker does this with the image:

I kno how to fix the image and I know how to edit xmls... The question is.. can i decompile and your apk? If yes what xml should contain the necessary information (if u dont wanna tell me thats fine too) and would i have trouble with the apk after decomp+edit+recomp then installing?
[Android Apps and Games] 06stang:
I had a problem with my Inc2/CM7 and widget locker. Sent the crash report through email. When selecting an alternate wallpaper through the app if it's too big WL crashes. I'm talking about in either pixels or file size.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Sorry, modifying the APK is not supported. The Sense slider isn't done in XML, though the sense_digitalclock is. I don't think you'd be able to modify it successfully anyway. And you will have trouble running it with a different key.

It's an out of memory error on large wallpapers. Will be fixed in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
:eek::D And resize overlap will be part of it too right!?

Can't wait.
[Android Apps and Games] 06stang:
Love the app thanks for the reply. Amazing work.

Any chance for an animated alternate wallpaper? Gif or live?
[Android Apps and Games] donhu:
I dont have trouble running the apk modded. The digital clock is what i want to mod. Are u saying that you wont help me mod it? Im not trying to use it maliciously or anything... Just want to format the digital clock differently... move it up, shrink the size, i can already change the text color. Just having trouble with the rest @ the moment.

If not, do you see this as a future addition to the list of customizable options?
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Why not use a customizeable clock widget? That way you can format it any way you want, like chronotopia or something like that...
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Overlap will be available, there's a chance it'll be hidden in the Settings > Long-press volume down Experimental menu though. I'll do this if I fear there's a bug that could prevent the unlock slider from working when overlapped and I want more testing before it's a more public option.

Live is something I really want to do, but I haven't been able to work out how to make it possible yet. GIF I feel would be a fair amount of work and not that great of a user experience. High-res animated gifs use lots of memory. Android SDK doesn't natively support gifs so it'd be a fair amount of custom code. Phone's have different resolutions so cropping would have to be able to handle animated gifs.

The digital clock exists as code and xml that are inside the APK...

You paid for a license to use WidgetLocker and I want you to use and enjoy it, even if that means modding it. I would personally prefer people didn't mod (or need to mod) as it was support burden before WL 2.0. Many people were modding it for themes, so I'd get lots of emails from people asking for help modding, or signing, or installing, or uninstalling. There were also issues installing the 2.0 update since signatures no longer matched. So I don't support modded versions, meaning if you send me a bug report (and it's not obvious), I'm just going to ask you to switch back to the official version. And I can't really be of help for modding as I really don't know and cannot justify the time to investigate.

There are some anti-tampering checks, and I don't think what you want to do is possible at the XML level. The layout for the sense slider is done in java, not XML. The clock itself does have it's layout in XML (like where the date is positioned relative to the hour, not where it's all positioned on the slider), but sliders have to do all kind of scaling on the fly so sizes there don't mean too much and different padding/margin values are untested.

In the future I may allow themes to specify the x/y/width/height for the clock, but not for the next release. In the mean time I'd recommend just turning the clock off on the slider and using a clock elsewhere.

how to make WL return to last open app instead of homescreen?

please forgive me in case this question was already asked but i did not find it.

after unlocking WL the device does not return to the last oppened application (like navigation, mail, mp3 etc.) but always to the homescreen. is there a way to make WL return to the last open application?
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
My lockscreen never turns on while navigation is running.. It's supposed to keep itself awake..

As for other apps, when I unlock it does go back to them.. Open widgetlocker editor mode (launch widget locker from app drawer) then Hit Menu>Settings>Advanced, and there is an option for "Always unlock to Home," make sure that is unchecked.
[Android Apps and Games] svonk:
many thanks, after unchecking it works as wished :)
[Android Apps and Games] Salty Wagyu:
Same issue here
[Android Apps and Games] cabstrak:
I've just bought this and been configuring it for the past 3 hours.

Under Behavior -> Long Press Search Mode, I've set it to "Lock Mode".

It works, but is there ANY WAY it puts the device to sleep as well? I'm using a Nexus S. Currently it only goes to lock mode but I have to wait for the screen timeout (which has the lowest setting of only 10 seconds) to occur.

HTC Lockscreen on missed calls

Using WL for the first time this week and finding it a great product, one small issue I'm having however.

Using a HTC Desire, rooted with Leedroid 2.3.3

When I receive a missed call, I unlock using WL Unlock and immediately get presented with the standard HTC Slide to Unlock screen with the missed call details which I have to slide to unlock.

This means I'm unlocking twice.

Have I missed a setting somewhere ?
[Android Apps and Games] malte41:
hello...

just a quick question:

i have a desire hd loaded with android revolution hd (latest version). i use the sense3 live wallpaper (the one with the weather animation). when i use the android lockscreen the live wallpaper runs after unlocking. with widgetlocker i wake the phone.... see the animated weather... unlock.... and the live wallpaper stops.

arhd uses the go launcher and i don`t find the right option to click on to get it working :-(

sry for my bad english... it is not my native language.

btw. one of the best android apps ever! bought it the day i got my phone!
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
How does Whatsapp behave without WL? Does it appear on top of the stock lockscreen or under it?

Not really. WL doesn't ever put the device to sleep because doing so requires either root or Device Admin. Root not everyone has, Device Admin is possible on any Android 2.2+ device, but it makes the user set it up and unset it up to uninstall, and since most users don't read instructions any app that uses device admin ends up flooded with bad reviews from people who have trouble uninstalling.

But if you do have root WL has a hidden option for this in Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental. And device admin will come in the future too once I figure out a good way of dealing with users who don't read.

Looking into a related issue on Sense.

Live wallpaper is in the background. Are you talking about the weather animations that appear in the foreground? Sense's should work, but some third party one might trigger to early.
[Android Apps and Games] malte41:
it is just a live wallpaper which shows the weather with nice videos on the desktop. too bad that it dosent work. it looks so cool :-)
[Android Apps and Games] avalpert:
I'm using Noled on a Nexus S 4G and whenever there is a notification it reverts to the stock lockscreen (if I disable the stock lockscreen it just goes straight to the home screen).

Is there a way to have the WL lockscreen show with a Noled notification?

Edit: As an addendum, this only happens when I hit the home button with a noled notification, if I use the back button I get the WL screen.
[Android Apps and Games] dacbeth:
Evo 4g with GB2.3.3, this does not happen to me, goes straight to home screen when WL is unlocked after having missed a call
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
So when you disable to stock lockscreen (which you really should when using WL) it takes you to your home screen when you hit home? Does that not make sense? lol. Any other app, pressing home takes you... home, right?

I guess for some reason it takes some people a bit to adjust, but back takes you back, so unless you unlocked you'll end up on the WL lockscreen, and home will take you to your home screen, as the name implies and as it should.

So i'd say just disable the stock lockscreen and then it's all normal.

Wierd bug with the WidgetLocker

Hi,

I searched the forums and this thread but couldn't find an answer.

I'm using Galaxy S II with Go Launcher (dunno if that has anything to do with that though..) and when the screen is locked using the app, and I press the Home button, it unlocks the screen! We don't want to happen, right?

Obviously I unchecked that option in the settings menu. Or maybe I did that wrong..? :\

What can I do? help.. :confused::confused:

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Sycobob:
I have a couple of probably common questions. I did some searching, but no luck so far. I'm using a Motorola Photon 4G on Sprint with ADW Notifier and LauncherPro installed.

1) When I swipe into messaging from the lock screen, I'd like to go straight to the conversation with the new message. Currently it only takes me to the messaging app with the list of conversations.

2) I've noticed, if I swipe into messaging when I have a new message when I return to my homescreen my normal messaging shortcut still has it's own notification bubble. Is there a way to get the WL and Messaging notification bubbles to both update when I check my messages?

3) The ADW Notifier notification on the lock screen is a tiny bubble in the bottom right. Is there any way to make it larger and move it?

These questions may have been asked before, if so, simply point me in the right direction please.
[Android Apps and Games] avalpert:
Except the I want the screen to be locked even when it has a notification - I don't want it to turn on in my pocket because it brushes the home button. I just want the lockscreen to be the WL screen because from there I just need to do one movement to get to my email instead of unlocking to the home screen and then opening the email.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
This has been discussed quite a few times. They need to do some work on the thread search feature I guess. Anyway:

Are you rooted? If you are, you might get a better fix in the next update:
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
@Sycobob, I'd recommend this for you too.

Get MissedIt! from the market. Make sure to read it's thread, at least the last few pages on how to set it up, and the FAQ in it's forums as posted in the OP of the thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1015752&page=66

Anybody that says "This doesn't work for (insert app here)" didn't read the FAQ's and are doing it wrong, or they are trying to get notifications on an app that doesn't send one to the stock/default notification bar.

It's a text based widget, and when you have a notification on it, tapping on it will launch to that notification, just like when you click if from the notification bar (So it takes you directly to the new text, or new e-mail, not just the app). Just make sure that you enabled interactions for that widget on WL.

As far as going into the phone while in your pocket, I don't get how.. you mean you unlock it via the slider? Or is it hitting a button or something on a popup?
[Android Apps and Games] therion21:
Is there any way , so that sliders with missed calls or SMS could appear using this application?

((similar to the stock lock screen idea))
[Android Apps and Games] avalpert:
I just have to hit the home button when a noled notification is there and it skips the WL screen (if the stock lock screen is disabled) and goes straight to the home screen. With the stock screen enabled it goes to that which leaves me no worse off than before WL, but not better off either.

And thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try.
[Android Apps and Games] Sycobob:
Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't look this is quite able to do what I'm after, in fact, it causes the same issue. I narrowed down the exact cause. I'm using LauncherPro for my home screens and the dock has it's own unread notifications built in. It shows little red circles with numbers on the icon when there are unread messages, but only updates when you tap the icon to open the messaging app. So using another app to get to the new message leaves the red circle on my dock.

This is obviously a shortcoming of LauncherPro, but I'm wondering if I can use WidgetLocker to circumvent it. Is there a way to have a shortcut on a slider that calls the icon on my dock? That would fix it.

EDIT: Or another app that handles notification icons on shortcuts that actually updates.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
@Sycobob: I'm guessing you are getting the red circles count thing by using ADWNotifier? That's ADWNotifiers problem, not LPP. That notifier, yes, makes you launch what you have linked th count to, instead of reading the call of the app being opened. MissedIt! clears the count whenever the app is opened, no matter how you open it.

@avalpert: Using that Home Helper feature should do the trick for you, since your issue is related specifically to the SGSII.

Bedside

I am having a problem with widget locker and bedside, WL seems to shut down bedside when the screen goes to sleep. I would prefer for bedside to temporarily suspend WL while my phone is in the desktop dock for overnight charging as is the case when using the stock lock screen.

I have looked but have not found any settings that will allow a select program to temporarily disable WL. any chance I have just missed something?

Verizon Samsung Fascinate

GeeWiz 1.1 ED05 Rooted, Deodexed.....

Note: This also happened on VZW Stock ED05
[Android Apps and Games] Salty Wagyu:
It appears under the stock lockscreen when WL is disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] Sycobob:
GTIVRon, the notifications come from LauncherPro. They were added with a recent update. ADWNotifier handles the unread count on my lock screen, but not my dock. ADW actually updates no matter how I check the messages, which is great. Short of using ADW Launcher (which I may do, but I paid for LauncherPro, so I'm trying to get what I can out of it. Plus I love my layout and I'm not sure if I'll be able to replicate it) I don't know that I can use it on my dock icons.

This is why I'm looking for another way to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] Eat-Eye:
Just got it right,

thanks man. :)
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGNYC:
You can use Tasker to control WL state. Controls will be under (task) Action Category / 3rd Party / WidgetLocker. The choices are: enable, disable, suspend, resume, activate, and unlock.

Create an application specific profile for bedside. The enter task should suspend WL, and the exit task (which will trigger when beside is not in the foreground), should be resume WL. HTH...
[Android Apps and Games] avalpert:
Thanks, that seems to work but it has a bit of a lag to it.
[Android Apps and Games] erikiksaz:
Hey OP,

I've got an odd issue. I start up the program in tool mode, long-press on the homescreen to try to add a new custom slider, then hit save. The problem is that it never shows the new custom slider.

It doesn't matter what the slider details are, or where I try to insert it on the screen, it just never shows.

Maybe it's a CM6 issue (on a nexus one).
[Android Apps and Games] Tomdroid:
Hey there

Really nice app, much better than any of the alternatives out there.

Some (minor) issues I noted:

- Launcher Pro's 5 row home screen option: the lockscreen has 5 rows too, however we can't use the lowest (5th) row. Trying to move a widget there just fails by bouncing the widget back. Would be nice if we could use that row too.

- Quickdesk: Reading what you wrote here and on the droidforums I've been trying the different solutions. Having either the home button disabled when unlocked OR quickdesk working is kind of unsatisfying imo.

Is it not possible to let the Helper define Quickdesk as the standard launcher? Atm. when I try to do that, I get a FC from WidgetLocker.

Or how about completely disabling the home button while unlocked, without having the Helper as default launcher?

Anyhow, great little tool this app. Fully recommend it to anyone!

Is there any way to keep slide-to-answer in order to avoid pocket-answering? I saw this mentioned earlier in the thread, but didn't see any follow up. It seems that when security-lock is enabled, you need to disable screen-lock within android, otherwise you get double slide-to-unlock screens. Disabling screen lock fixes the double slide-to-unlock problem, but also disables slide-to-answer.

I also have a suggestion. For icon in the middle of the custom slider, can you allow that icon to be assigned to a widget? You can assign it to anything except a widget.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] m2thedeep:
I'd like to see this implemented also.
[Android Apps and Games] Tomdroid:
1.2.5 seems to have fixed the Quickdesk error, good job. Now the only issue remaining there is on QD's side as the app keeps popping up the warning about it not working right because it's not the standard launcher. Ofc it does work right now, so let's hope for an update there.

Question: The standard lock screen shows the battery charge while charging the phone. How can I get this back with WidgetLocker?
[Android Apps and Games] +BroNNoS+:
Hmm, latest update did my setup no good. Was running app No Lock to get rid of the default lock screen which always pops up before Widgetlocker and it worked like a dream until the last update. Now I have to disable No Lock to get Widgetlocker working again but I also get the annoying default locker back for a sec.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
You should not be seeing the stock lock screen on the Desire when using WidgetLocker. Are you running a custom rom or something?

Anyway in WidgetLocker go to Settings > Advanced > Easy Wake Mode which should give you the same effect as running No Lock.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
This is on my todo list. In the mean time there are a handful of battery widgets that give similar information. Such as Battery Drod
[Android Apps and Games] +BroNNoS+:
This is XDA..off course I'm running a custom rom ;) DeFrost to be more exact..

But the Easy Wake does not do the same as No Lock does..or did. Just tried the Easy Wake Mode and in both cases the default lockscreen flashes up before Widgetlocker..

Before the last update this was cured by No Lock, but now when I use No Lock also Widgetlocker is not showing as well and I have to disable No Lock..resulting in quick flash of old screenlock + Widgetlocker..
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I love Battery Snap, great battery status widget, plus battery level tracking to monitor usage and charge patterns.
[Android Apps and Games] Tomdroid:
Wow, that is realy neat, especially the time remaining indicator. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I'm going to make a guess it increases battery drain though. Most things that monitor like that do. I used to use PowerTime widget that did a similar thing, in standby my N1 used 3 or 4% an hour, I took it off and it went to 1% an hour....
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I just love when people make assumptions that something increases battery drain. No, it does not. It listens for battery intents, it doesn't actively do anything.
[Android Apps and Games] eRRoRist:
Great app and a even greater developer!! :) It was definitely money well spent!!

Have a small feature request, the ability to mapped the "Easy Wake Mode" to the button/s of our choice rather then all the buttons.
