a wifi slider

is there any way to assign wifi on/off to a slider, much like you do to the ringer?

would greatly apreciate

just bought it yesterday! fell in love!
[Android Apps and Games] Veiti:
I think yes. With toggle wifi app in the market.

Suddenly on my EVO 4G when unlocking the animation of the stock weather application has quit responding when easy wake is on. It will work once after reboot. With easy wake not checked the animation works. Also, the animation only works on the home screen, whereas it use to animate on all of the screens. This is the case with HTC Animation in either only home screen mode or all apps mode. I had always used in in home screen mode and it would animate on any of the seven. Also, when open to home screen instead of last app the animation works the first time after making choice, then no longer animates on subsequent unlocks.
[Android Apps and Games] KlugN:
One thing I've noticed that I don't like about this app is that ever since I installed it, when I click the screen off button, the screen will turn itself back on immediately. The same thing will happen when the screen times out.

Anyway to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Aww shucks guys :) Glad you're enjoying the app and my attention to it.

This is not related to WidgetLocker. WidgetLockers vibrate/silent slider just changes the system setting. I'd recommend checking your Messaging app's notification settings.

I'll probably go with the user-defined route eventually. Vibrators work inconsistently across devices, most were originally tested/designed on a Nexus One which is much more vibration happy that some devices.

The idea with the layout is that the "Anchor" is fixed at the bottom (portrait) or right (landscape) of the screen and fills the screen in one dimension (width in portrait) and is 100dp * number_of_slider_rows in the other direction (height in portrait). The "MainGrid" with auto tries to fit the remaining space at 100dp cells but there's some rounding and the user might adjust the grid manually.

If you only use portrait your best bet is probably to remove the anchor by adjusting the double-ended arrow in Settings > Layout and then setting the grid size to whatever you want.

Toggle sliders for WidgetLocker has been on my todo list for a long time and still is, awesome it's possible already with a third party app though.

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).

Most likely:

This happens on some HTC devices if the PIN activates immediately after the screen goes off, it will not happen if you delay the pin by either:

System Settings > Security > Lock screen after > 3 Minutes

or

WidgetLocker Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > HTC > HTC Lock Delay > 10 (seconds).

Otherwise 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).

Long time WL user!

Just got me a HTC EVO 3D. Awesome bit of kit.

However, I now seem to have to go through 3 lockscreens - WL > HTC Rings > PIN.

Is there a setting I've missed that will allow me to drop the HTC Ring lockscreen so I am just using the WL > PIN lockscreens?

I've tried and tried... any ideas peeps?

Thanks Muchly x
[Android Apps and Games] KlugN:
Worked perfectly. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
New ROM on my phone, and my lockscreen is ALMOST perfect! I can't wait for widget overlap! That is the only thing I need to make it perfectly perfect (for me, ha ha).

I know you don't give ETA's Kev, and completely understand why. (I don't give ETA's at work either. I do have to give a latest date though, so usually give myself plenty time but.. owell, different topic).

But can you tell us if it's getting close?

I'd love to be a beta tester :).
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Fix for this in the next update. In the mean time enable the home button and rebooting might work.

Are you using Exchange? This complicates things. You might be able to get by with setting a non-immediate "Lock screen after" in System Settings > Security. AutoSwipe for root users for Sense3 is coming in the next update too.

It can sometimes be hard to even say if it's getting close, if I run into a difficult bug it might take some time to work out a proper fix, and as a distraction from trying to solve the bug I sometimes start adding features as that's more interesting. I'm going on vacation at the end of the month and really want to have this released before then. But no promises.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Ha ha! I hear you! I do a lot of analytical work and working on a "program" that will allow others to analyze production losses (Oil&gas). I am stuck on how to automate some steps, but keep implementing other "cool" ways to view the data.

Anyway, just about all of us are antsy for the update, but I'm sure most respect the fact you want to release something stable. Keep up the excellent work.

Good job, Kevin!

WidgetLocker is great.

Unfortunately I was forced to uninstall it lately due to a new software update.

Motorola Photon

Sprint Network

45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US

Android 2.3.4

rooted

Go Launcher EX

After the last software update (45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US) WidgetLocker causes a constant drain on my battery, effectively reducing a full charge to nothing within a few hours. As you can imagine the battery/back of the phone becomes very warm while this happens.

There have been a lot of people (Photon owners with new software update) experiencing this issue regardless of their configuration. People running completely stock have the issue.

I'm actually kinda surprised that I am the first to make a post about this here. I also just sent in a bug report for the additional information.

Again, Great app. I hope this issue can be sorted out, I dislike the Moto Blur lock screen with a passion.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
It's actually motorola's widgets causing the battery drain somehow, but WL 2.1 can trigger it. WL 2.2betas are working.

HTC ChaCha problem

In my HTC ChaCha, widgetlocker is completely skipped with the facebook button, so I found that my phone unlocks while it is in my pocket.

Any solution?

The keynumber and code for the facebook key is :184 HTC_SHARE .

It is also closed with the end call button, but I can fix it with the last option in advanced (Keep system keyguard or similar, my phone is in spanish).

Keycode is: 107 ENDCALL

It is a great piece of software, I am really happy with it.

Thank you very much.

EDIT: Now I noticed that the facebook key also awakes the phone, thus a double press on this key unlocks the phone :( .
[Android Apps and Games] esad13:
Thanks again Kevin

The beta has been working well since I installed it. I was messing around with the Motorola widgets today and noticed they are definitely having issues. I hope Motorola can push a out a quick fix.
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
Hi Kevin, no, am not using Exchange as far as I know. When's the Sense3 update due?

Thanks for all. Amazing job Champ!
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
Where is this beta you speak of?
[Android Apps and Games] fischwrap:
using widgetlocker, and love everything about it

im having one issue though. if i add a custom rotary slider (my favorite is minimal-mod rotary) and add a function to the middle circle (camera, for instance), the middle circle function doesnt work. when you 'pull' it down, it just slides the slider down, and then it bounces back up and nothing happens. the side icons work (unlock and ringer mode), but no matter what i put in the middle, it doesnt work. this goes for any rotary slider i choose. any ideas? am i missing something? thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Unfortunately it won't make WL 2.2. Maybe after that.

Can you try adding "com.facebook.katana" to the Settings > Popups > Hide Other Popups? Should work for now.

I'll add something to try to block that key code (unless it overlaps with something else, have to look it up). Depending on how it's implemented they might prevent apps from blocking it.

Due soon. If it's not exchange it might be that a delay is needed (System Settings > Security > Lock Screen After > 3 Minutes or WL Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > HTC > Lock Delay > 10 (seconds)

Sorry, private beta. Not adding new users right now, but just need to wrap things up to release to everyone. BTW if anyone speaks Japanese and wants to helps with the translations that'd be awesome http://crowdin.net/project/widgetlocker/ja

Hrm maybe Settings > Buttons & Inputs > Slider Button as Interaction is enabled and interactions are disabled? Can you try disabling it? (Bug as obviously rotary's center isn't a button, but work around for now)
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Is it possible to block mClock widgets? I don't want any interraction with that particular widget on my lock screen, if I know how to block it as above, I'd do it.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
When resizing a widget there's a tiny little finger icon in the upper right you can tap to toggle allow/disallow interactions for that specific widget. This interface will be improved in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] dapaua:
It works, but only after five seconds of locking the screen . If I press it before the five seconds wait time, it unlocks the phone. Obviously this is a much better situation than before. It still bypasses in the lockscreen widgetlocker, but at least it doesn't wake up the phone.

Thank you.

great work

only one thing for my desire..

when I switch on the phone the first lockscreen is the default one of the rom. then I have the widget locker..

Hi,

I just bought this app for my motorola droid 3.

I bought it specifically because the droid 3 doesn't unlock when opening the slider.

However when I open the slider with the screen off, it takes about 4-5 seconds for the home screen to appear.

I tried putting it in root mode but it changes nothing.

I also enabled easy wake mode to no avail.

Thanks

Can't take calls anymore!

Hi,

I have Samsung Galaxy S2 and have a huge issue with Widget Locker (latest version installed).

When WL is ENABLED, when I receive a call, I don't get the call screen anymore (with the contact picture and the 2 slides, either take the call or reject it).

Instead, I have a green layer on the Notification Bar (see screenshot attached) and I can't take the call!

If I disable WL, then the problem doesn't appear anymore. :mad:

What can I do please, I can't use your app anymore at all....

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] themacro:
I've been having this weird bug related to the custom slider for quite some time.

I used to use the minimal light theme and am now using transparent; the issue occurs with both themes. I have the right-to-left swipe (alternate swipe) set to change the ringer mode. However, I don't set an icon/graphic for it, so the right-to-left swipe is invisible.

It's fine until I reboot. When I reboot, the right-to-left swipe gets an iPhone-style arrow graphic. I then have to delete the custom slider and recreate a new one with the invisible right-to-left sliding capability.

Thanks for your work in making this app. It's great. If you could fix that bug that would be great. (or if you'd know a solution for me, even) Thanks a lot.

I left this post on the FAQ thread, though I should probably have posted here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18696409&postcount=3226

I'm wondering about the ability to disable WL on charge, and re-enable when the cable is removed. I know power state is an available trigger, it would make a lot of sense for me, if the phone is on charge, it's in a safe place, not in my pocket :)

Just seen there is a 2.2 out, looking forward to getting the upgrade, sounds great.

Appreciate all your work, Kevin.

[Android Apps and Games] pgibbons:
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 running 2.3.3 I9100XXKE4 and had no problems with the previous version of WL. After updating to the new 2.2 for the very nice ICS unlock theme, whenever I push the home button after letting the phone idle for a while, it's like it wipes out the preferred launcher settings and the Complete action using screen comes up asking me to choose between Launcher Pro, TwLauncher or the WL HomeHelper. I can check the Set as default option at the bottom but the next time I push the home button it asks me again. If you choose Set as default and retry opening/closing the same app with the home button right away it does not happen, but if you wait a couple of minutes and try it again, it will prompt you again. This also happens just trying to unlock the screen without pushing the home button.

Anyone else having this issue?

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

Nevermind. Weird. I just removed WL from my Superuser allowed list and re-added it and everything works now. I thought I already re-added it after the upgrade.
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
Widgetlocker has a plugin for Tasker to allow for what you are requesting. I know it's unfortunate that you have to use another paid app to do this but i'm assuming kevin is not looking to provide this functionality since he wrote the plugin for Tasker. Meanwhile, it's still a good workaround if you can find other uses for Tasker (which i'm sure you can!)
[Android Apps and Games] byrong:
Are you currently running a themed/modified version of WidgetLocker? I've only ever gotten that message when mistakenly trying to update a themed app via the market.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
It doesn't track the battery, it waits for intents. As for when the widget updates, therefore does calculations, I couldn't guess.. The Battery Snap author could probably answer it. Bottom line: You won't see any increased battery usage using it.
[Android Apps and Games] Tomdroid:
Here's a weird one:

I'm running a EU Milestone with 2.1.0.36, memhack and JIT.

Now JIT in combo with WidgetLocker makes my phone reboot. Yes, it's reproducible.

The test app was Camera 360 with TiltShift in full res (puts some stress on CPU and uses lots of ram).

Cam360 & WL & JIT: reboot guaranteed.

Cam360 & WL sans JIT: no problem.

Cam360 & JIT sans WL: no problem.

WL & JIT also produced reboots e.g. when entering JuiceDefender's app selection menu.

Just saying in case someone else runs into this. Don't think it's something that needs fixing, I've simply ditched JIT again.
[Android Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Would it be possible to provide an option to change the "hold search button" behaviour to the following:

- turn off screen (and activate widget locker at the same step)

Right now i have to reach for the power button at the top of my nexus one to turn off the display. For turning it on i can use the trackball.

Now i want an easier way of turning off the display again, because its very weird to turn the display on with the trackball and then turn it off with the power button. Just isn't comfortable.

It is possible to map turning off the screen to the "search hold" button or "hold trackball"?
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
+1 :) me too
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
WidgetLocker does not yet support any counts itself. These are other widgets people have used to get them.

My plan for this is just to work with NoLED. I added some checks for it in the latest version of WidgetLocker so that the Home key will call WidgetLocker rather than the actual Home and that when WidgetLocker unlocks it unlocks to Home rather than to NoLED.

This isn't as easy as it seems like it should be. But I do have some ideas.

Yes, I'll add this in.

For now you can use Select Shortcut to chose the camcorder app. If you want to help if you could get me the name of the activity of the camcorder. Easiest way is to check a logcat for a line like this:

I/ActivityManager( 83): Starting activity: Intent { flg=0x34c40000 cmp=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/.WidgetLocker (has extras) }

Or send me the camera APK or AndroidManifest.xml. If you don't get a chance I do have access to a Captivate sometimes and can check this myself when I next get a chance.

Android is really weird about allowing apps to sleep the device. It needs special permissions, but then a window's brightness can be set to zero which does turn off the screen, but button presses after that get lost. I have a work around in mind though.

If I missed anyone's question I apologize, feel free to repost it or email me.
[Android Apps and Games] E_man5112:
Ok, how would I do that? I actually got a shortcut setup with launcher pro to it, and that works great. My main gripe now is, the icon is different. Would be awesome if we could customize the icons, and had the stock ones be an option.
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
OK. I understand that. Can you confirm if WL will correctly show an icon (eg: ChompSMS - which shows a count bubble for missed sms) when placed as part of a slider widget.

I can get ChompSMS to show the count bubble if it is sitting by iteself on the WL screen as a widget, but it doesnt show any count when added to the slider widget :(. Same for missed calls.

Sounds good to me. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Sounds great. Any idea when this might be implemented? I really miss the old HTC hero days where it was much easier to turn off/on the screen compared to the nexus one.

Really love the fact that you implemented wake with trackball!

Couple questions:

I am running Launcher Pro on a 2.1 Droid X. When I unlock my screen, frequently my desktop pops up for a brief period of time before WidgetLocker shows up over the top of it.

I also noticed when I had left the stock unlock screen enabled, occasionally the stock unlock screen would show up briefly before WidgetLocker popped up.

Thoughts?

Also, I do somewhat enjoy the weather animations. I have Beautiful Widgets installed but if I enable the weather animations, they begin animating as soon as the screen turns on instead of after I unlock the device. Is this fixable or just the nature of not using the stock lock screen?

[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I'm working on a framework so people will be able to release themes as add ons for WidgetLocker. In the mean time you can indeed replace the PNGs (And that's absolutely okay by me Mr. Author, you've paid for the software and are free to use it anyway you want to. Just don't distribute it.).

You'll have to extract the APK, using a tool like apktook (http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/) and then look in res/drawables-hdpi and you should find the pngs pretty easily. Here is a guide on theming apks:

[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
This sounds like the "5 second rule" as described in Settings > Tutorial. Android won't let a background process start a foreground process for 5 seconds after the Home button is pressed. You can bypass this by using the WLocker Home Helper as your default home (It will then launch your actual Home program).

I haven't had a chance to look into Beautiful Widgets yet. I imagine I'll have to work with the developers there to come up with a fix for this.
[Android Apps and Games] Dungeon47:
Since updating today, something keep clearing the "Set as Default" setting for my launcher, and I constantly have to choose it again. I suspect the WL update (which was otherwise fantastic) because I noticed it immediately after installing, but not at all before.

Update: Missed the earlier post about clearing SU setting for WL. Thank you.

To clarify:

Open SuperUser and delete the entry for WidgetLocker.

Reboot.

Open WidgetLocker, or wait for it to load on boot.

Click Allow when SuperUser prompts.
