[Android Apps and Games] Overloaded:
Hey,

I'm am currently running the newest Leedroid rom on my new dhd.

I have installed Launcherpro and widgetlocker. It all runs fine and smooth but when i reboot my phone widgetlocker gets removed from the appdrawer / disabled and i get the standard HTC Sense lockscreen.

Anybody knows why this happens and maybe someone with a solution for this problem?? Could it be that i didn't root it succesfully? I have installed a custom rom and have no problems with it.

It's just gone. I can't unistall it, but when i reinstall widgetlocker it asks me to overwrite or something..
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
I'm sure you modded it or pushed it into data/app, right?

[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Did you try theming widgetlocker or similar and installing it to the system partition? If so I'd recommend removing any themed version completely (using Root Explorer or a terminal to remove /system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk (or -2.apk or -3 or whatever) and /data/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk (again or -2 or -3) and /data/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker then reboot then install again from the Market then reboot and confirm everything is still working.

Will you ever add the option for different rows/columns like in certain launcher apps?
[Android Apps and Games] overground:
Just to bump my request. The first 3 (from left) on the bottom are widgets with custom icons and text labels disabled. The last is a shortcut with no text, yet due to lack of support for no text on shortcuts, there's still a text bubble and that raises the shortcut.

Are you still planning to add a keyboard slide to unlock feature? I noticed the app Screen Tools has accomplished it.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
This is planned
[Android Apps and Games] overground:
Unfortunately, the shortcut is still raised. Don't know if there's anything that can be done. Thanks for your help.

Hi, this is a really nice app, I mainly started using it so I could use the volume button to turn the screen on, but then I also found it useful to see things like my calendar and the weather on the lock screen. Thanks!

Here a couple things I'd like to mention though:

1) Could you offer more options for screen timeouts? The lowest value WidgetLocker offers is 10 sec, I believe the stock lock screen is closer to 5 which I might prefer.

2) I noticed that if you add a custom slider and use the Ringer Mode action, it does not respect the setting you've chosen in Settings -> Behavior -> Silence Ringer Mode. I set it there to only do Silence, not Vibrate, but only the "default" sliders that you offer (WL, Android, Sense, etc.) respect this. The custom slider Ringer Mode will still cycle through sound on, silence, and vibrate. I'm assuming this is a bug and not intended.

3) Is it possible to make your lock screen clock widget show next alarm time and battery percentage like the stock lock screen shows? This is pretty much the only thing I miss. What would be even better is if the battery percentage could be configured to always show, instead of only when you're charging like with the stock screen.

4) Is it possible to disable the fly-in effect when unlocking? I use LauncherPro and like that it does the fly-in when I open apps, but would prefer the home screen to just appear without any animation when unlocking. I'm not sure if WL is responsible for this or not.

Thanks for a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
2) Agree :)

4) Unfortunately its a launcherpro thing and can't be handled by WL...

Please, could someone help me! I installed WidgetLocker on my HD2 (running android) & I accidentally pushed the brightness-slider (I think so anyway) Now the screen is totally black, can't see anything! How do I turn the screen brightness back on??

Thanks

Does anyone use this with WhatsApp? I have the popup enabled in Whatsapp settings and it seems about half the time hitting "reply" to the popup WhatsApp message does not take me to WhatsApp but to the default lockscreen (not widgetlocker). Does anyone else notice the same behavior? It's getting pretty annoying and making me consider going back to the stock lock screen..

WidgetLocker makes the lock and unlock sounds sound wrong

I just got a new myTouch 4G, and I just got this app and I love it except for one thing... When I lock and unlock the phone, the characteristic clicking sounds that accompany those actions sound like they're having a hiccup.

When I lock the phone, it clicks like normal, then it clicks again like it's having an afterthought. When I unlock it, it clicks like normal, then immediately after it does 2 more clicks right on top of each other. It does this even if I disable the sounds from within WidgetLocker.

If I disable WidgetLocker, the phone sounds normal when I lock and unlock it.

Does anyone else have this problem? If so, has anyone found a fix for it? Better yet, have you, Developer Kevin, ever seen this and know how to solve it??

I could still uninstall it and get a refund, but I really don't want to because it does what I want and I love it, but I know those excessive clicks are going to drive me nuts if I have to keep hearing them. Can you help?

How to disable Home button to prevent screen waking up

Hello,

is it possible to disable the home button, to prevent screen waking up ?

I mean, to be capable to wake up the screen only by using the power button (on the top of the phone).

Because when I followed theses steps :

How do I disable the home button at the lockscreen?

In Settings you want to uncheck "Allow Home Button".

This requires setting "WLocker Helper" as your default home (The program that runs when you hit the home button).

To do this you can click the "Clear Default Home" option in settings and then hit your Home key, you'll see a dialog and you should check the "Use by default" option and then select "WLocker Helper". After selecting you will be prompted to chose your actual home, such as "Home" or "ADW.Launcher". If you wish to change your home later you can do so from WidgetLocker's settings "Home Application" option.

It only disables the home button AFTER the screen has been woken up...

[Android Apps and Games] jrharvey:
Im on a samsung galaxy s (vibrant) and ive been using widget locker for about a month no problem. I accidently uninstalled widget locker today thinking it was something else so I just re-installed it. Once installed all I got was endless force close loops when trying to start widgetlocker. I tried restarting, installing older versions and using root explorer to see if the apk was still in data/app but no luck. I cannot seem to get this running again. Installs fine from market but refuses to start. Worked perfect before.
[Android Apps and Games] jrharvey:
Ok, Im not sure if this is related to widgetlocker or the SGS firmware BUT I got it working again. I not only had to use root explorer to completely remove the apk from data but I also had to delete the associated folder in data/data. After that, everything was good :) Just an fyi.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Pretty sure that's what Android always does when it removes an application.. Perhaps the reinstall fixed it, or something else..

Multiple message notifications after installing WidgetLocker

Has anyone experienced having more than one message notification popping up after installing widgetlocker?

Here's a screenshot to be clearer:

h**p://min.us/mveZ2JD (sorry cannot post links yet)

I've already been able to disable the notifications for the stock messages app. It's the first notification that I cannot get rid of.

I have been researching for an issue similar to mine but haven't been able to find any resolution. Already tried reinstalling widgetlocker but the problem persists. Also reflashed the ROM but the problem reappeared upon reinstalling widgetlocker.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Never seen this myself... I don't think it comes from WidgetLocker.
[Android Apps and Games] clarksteel20:
The notification itself does not come from widgetlocker. But widgetlocker was the only app I've installed prior to that. So I thought I'll just post here just in case anyone else had this experience and could help.
[Android Apps and Games] hirfian:
Any ideas on how to download this? Can't find it on Market.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
It's there. Perhaps your ROM is misconfigured and you can't see pay for or protected apps?

You can try this link, but if you can't reach it on the market you simply can't reach it.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetlocker-lockscreen/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker

Or search for com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker in the market.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
WidgetLocker doesn't use the old style copy protection that limits visibility. But there are still a few things that limit visibility:

Paid apps not being available in your country

Android version < 2.1

If you live in a country where the Market doesn't support paid apps you can buy it directly via http://teslacoilsw.com/widgetlocker/buy . But if you're using Android < 2.1 unfortunately you're out of luck as it simply won't work on older versions.
[Android Apps and Games] RickBaller:
When I add BattStat and TypClock to the lockscreen via WidgetLocker neither one continue running. The clock stays frozen at whatever time it was when I added it to the lockscreen and the Battery widget keeps it's same value as well. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
I've got a minor display problem with WidgetLocker and my custom LCD density setting on my HTC Desire: I've got it set to 200, instead of the usual 240, and have noticed that widgets that span the screen have a 1 pixel transparent space down the right side. Here's a screenshot, notice the issues with the Agenda and Clockr widgets:

Launcher Pro doesn't have any problems displaying widgets that span the screen, despite the custom density, so I'm assuming it's a WidgetLocker issue. Any comments or chance of a fix?
[Android Apps and Games] -SAIUN-:
I've got "Easy Wake Mode" unchecked but my Milestone still wakes from having the camera button half-pressed.

It didn't do this in 2.1 but now that I'm running CM6 it's doing it and driving me nuts. There has to be a fix somewhere?

EDIT: It's because I was running "No Lock" app from the Market to disable the stock lock screen. Gotten rid of it for now but that means I get the stock lock screen popping up all the time. Still annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] foppa78:
This app is easily in my top 5. I find this to be very useful and I love the ability to make custom sliders. Is there a way to have a slider open up a widget like some power controls? That could be handy.
[Android Apps and Games] Droski:
Love the look of this app and have been using it for a while now...

question is there any way to get the clock to stay synced with phone while the screen isnt on i tend to "flash check the time"... and i have to wait for a sync of just look at the status bar at top. another thing i was wondering if there could be any kind of wallpaper configuration as my android rom doesnt have the option to change lockscreen wallpaper. Again thanks this app is awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] BBOOZE:
I can't figure out how to turn this off:

T-mobile G2, rooted with Enom's ROM running.

I installed widgetlocker today and like it but I can't seem to control the sounds correctly. On the G2, whenever you lock or unlock your phone it makes a clicking sound. Fine. But now that I've installed widgetlocker it makes a multiple-clicking sound every time I get a text message or when I boot the phone up. I've unchecked all the sounds and still get this and I'm trying to figure out how to stop this.

I'm using Handcent as my SMS.
[Android Apps and Games] ryanalan82:
Love this app. amazing on rooted evo. No lag at all. I was just wondering if there is any progress on a slide on answer/decline. It is very important. What about for now having a slider with the phone like I do now, but when there is a call it opens up that current incoming call. I actually thought that that is how it was going to work when I installed this. So far I've just settled with unlocking the phone before the answer screen comes up so there are no accidental calls answered.

Swyped from my Evo
[Android Apps and Games] 20twins10:
so ive gone through whatever settings i can find. i'm unable to add a slider to the teslaLED.. i'd like to that and possible rearrange the sliders.. the tutotial mentions it but i've been dumbfounded by this.. i've heard mention of having to make my own apk file.. if thats the case fine, but if this is just smoke in the wind, fill me in..

much thanks..
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Add a slider, then you add what you want to be on the left, right and optionally middle. Then set the default slider to None, move the new slider to the bottom. You've then replaced the default slider with your custom slider.

Apps and some other stuff like mute, backlight, Testla etc are options there.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I was wondering if there was any way to hide the statusbar on the actual unlock screen (pin or pattern). I have it set to hide on both WidgetLocker and LauncherPro, but what bugs me is that it pops up everytime when i have to enter my pin :D
[Android Apps and Games] agomiky:
Hi guys. I have installed this application on my phone, it's really cool but doesn't work with NoLed. I explain better, NoLed does not show the notifications on the screen off. Do you know why?? How can i fix it?? thx :p:p

I like widget locker.

But I hope, the dev can make it more Themeable.

Let us use other sliders or something else.

MIUI lockscreen looks so good. If they can merge the functionality... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dgwood12:
Have any fixes been found for those with a different lcd density? I have made a really awesome sense slider bar to use but since my density it set to 200 it is cut off on the right side. Is there a way to stretch this to span the whole screen?
[Android Apps and Games] ickyboo:
I love this app, long time user. Being a LCD density user I found launcherpro's/zeams widget resizing to be a godsend. Can you somehow put that in next version of widgetlocker?

[Android Apps and Games] Carlovn:
Hello mister Tesla,

I'm a big fan of your app! Are you still working on extra themes for this app? Would be great(not really needed, they problably wouldn't work landscape)

I also have two small request:

1. I really want to use widget locker for making my device wake up by pressing the track pad of my desire Z but there is only a option to use all the hardware buttons to let the device wake up. This doesn't work for me because I press the buttons in my pocket accidently all the time. So a option to let the device wake up by only the trackpad would be great!

2. Also be able to set a wallpaper for landscape

Keep up the great work on this project!

Grtz,
[Android Apps and Games] yourrealdad:
Kevin,

This here is one Kevin saying thanks to another. App is awesome, I have had absolutely no problems or hiccups running it on a rooted but no ROM Droid X running 2.2.1.

I was reading on some other forums that there might be a possibility of getting some customization in the rotary locker. It would be sweet if I could drop a short cut in the middle spot or even the other circles as it spins.

I know nothing of code so don't know if it a possibility, but getting widgetlocker to disable stock lock and add its own pattern lock.

That would pretty much make this thing perfect IMO

Thanks for the great app,

Kevin

Any update on a way to unlock with a single 1x1 button?
[Android Apps and Games] falshflew:
I like widget locker.
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
There are three options:

If you use Tasker, you can make a task widget, go to '3rd party', then 'WidgetLocker', and pick 'Unlock' from the Cmd drop down menu.

Or you can go to Shortcuts, then Applications, then pick your chosen Home launcher.

If your launcher doesn't appear here (it doesn't seem to appear with LauncherPro), try Shortcuts, then Activities, find your launcher there, and pick the main activities from there. Seems to work with LauncherPro, at least.

Only option 1 does a true unlock, whilst the other two will force you back to your home app, rather than resuming whatever application you were running before.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Aye, I was using a shortcut to LauncherPro for a while (I may have said this many many pages back haha) but never being able to resume to the app I was using last became extremely frustrating, FAST.

Which is why I'm looking for a native way to unlock WidgetLocker from the developer himself. That's the only way to do this without spending money.

[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
I've never seen battery drain because of WidgetLocker. I suppose it would depend on what you put on the lock screen.

Hey just want to say I love this app using it with the samsung galaxy, it has been great. One question though, when using the lock screen clock provided is there a way to display the day next to the date as well? I know I can use another clock widget but I really the stock one, the font in particular.

Any solution to this? I really want the clock to look the same just with the worded day as well.

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] danielzink:
Love the app. Would send the dev another dollar ;) if we could have a custom slider that would show missed calls.

[Android Apps and Games] Kamill:
This is the best locker for Android, it's surely worth those 2$ :)

I have a few ideas, which could make the locker even more convenient:

- add a 5s delay for the screen turning off: it's enough to have time to swipe the slider and see if there aren't any notifications; 10s is a bit too long and you have to switch the screen off manually,

- map the home button for switching off the screen: when my SGS is laying on my desk I like to switch the screen on by the home button and then if I want to turn it off I have to use the power button, which is less convenient,

- add an unread sms/missed calls slider which appears only when there are such notifications; it could replace the sound button in the standard slider.

RLS4

I have recently updated to RLS4 and WL causes my evo to reboot as well as not be able to open WL to disable it.

Once I do finally reboot only then can I get widget locker to open and then disable it. Then, my Evo runs flawlessly.

I was using WL with RLS3 and had absolutely no issues. I don't have any crazy settings other than home screen and back button activated.

anyone else having this issue? and is there a fix?

I would love for it to work considering I dished out some cash for it.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
RLS is what, a custom ROM? Seems like if updating it caused a problem it's likely a problem with the ROM, yes?

Anywho...

Man.. now that I have a tablet, I'm really looking forward to Widget Locker being able to have more rows/columns.. Hoping that's part of the upcoming update. :)

Hello, I just purchased WidgetLocker today and LOOOOVE it! There is just one weird thing the app is doing that I can't seem to get around. I use a downloaded clock widget (TypoClock) and when I apply that widget to my lockscreen, it looks beautiful. However, when I click the widget, my phone alarm options pop up thus unlocking the phone. I don't know why this is happening because that is not a normal widget function so I figure it has something to do with WidgetLocker.

I have already considered disabling interactions, however I need that feature for another widget (Phantom Music Player Widget, also the reason I purchased WidgetLocker).

Any ideas on how to disable my alarm options from opening when I click my TypoClock widget??
