I encounter a very serious problem on my Nexus one(Android2.2) not rooted.

I locked the screen as usual and put it in my bag. After around 3 hours, I took my phone out and found that my phone became extremely hot, it was as hot as a hair dryer that I can hardly hold it with my hand...And I found that the battery had dropped to 0% and the phone had already shut down by itself. When I later boot the phone again, the system pop up a force close message of widgetlocker.

I have been using my N1 for a month and never face this problem before, it happened after the second days I used Widgetlocker. I am quite sure that the battery problem was caused by widgetlocker as I didn't install any new software except Widgetlocker.

I do think that Widgetlocker is a great app which can avoid using the orginial power button too often. Please help. Thanks!

I am running this on my Sprint cdma hero and it is great. It's the only app that I've found to give me the rosie locker on the cyanogen mod 2.2 rom. Combined with Weather and Toggle Widgets Flip clock, it looks like I have HTC sense.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I always get a FC of WidgetLocker when I reboot... I don't reboot often so I keep forgetting to report it.

I doubt the boot up FC has anything to do with your issue here.

One problem I do have is I have Trackball wake set in my rom and found that even though WidgetLocker doesn't use the trackball on the lock screen (when on), the trackball will keep it awake, so maybe that's what happened for you? Trackball was pushed in, or moving around enough to keep it on. I don't know how the in-program wake-on-trackball works, but it'd be nice if the trackball movement/pushing didn't keep the phone awake while on the lock screen itself so that if it is accidentally pushed it goes back off.

Note that dropping your phone in a bag that pushes on it this is going to eventually happen no matter what lock program you have. Put your phone in something protective. I have a cheap pleather case I put my phone in if it's in something else like my backpack or my bike water bag.
[Android Apps and Games] powerman13:
Thanks khaytsus

I think my problem may be caused by touching the track ball button accidentally:(

Do you guys know any methods except rooting my phone to wake by pressing the volume button instead of the track ball? Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Well, don't enable trackball wake in WidgetLocker? That's one way to avoid it, although not sure what to say about volume as mine wakes when Hit the volume keys too.

Why not create a modded Sense lockscreen in which swiping down unlocks and swiping up changes the ringer profile?
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
This is interesting and a good point. I'm not sure if Android will let WidgetLocker ignore this or not, screen timeout is handled by the system, not individual applications. I'll look into it though.

Is it possible to purchase this using Paypal? Sadly I live in the Netherlands and credit cards aren't that popular and I don't have one either. I do have a Paypal account which is linked to my bank account so that's the only way I can purchase things online. Hopefully it will be possible because from what i've seen on videos it looks great!

Hey Kevin, would it be possible to implement a pattern lock or something similar into WidgetLocker or is that something the OS doesn't allow?
[Android Apps and Games] TD22057:
You know - this would be really fantastic. A miniature version of the pattern lock could be on the bottom half of the screen and top half would be available for customization. Then you could disable the phone's pattern lock and slide lock and just use widget locker for the lock. It would also be nice to have a widget to turn on and off the "lock screen" and just take you to your normal home app just like No Lock does.

Well, I can't find the Beta channel, I've gone through everything.....
[Android Apps and Games] #illidan:
In the settings menu long press the down volume button which will activate the Labs menu & under that the first option is for Beta Updates. Open that & hit the public beta option. Go back & hit the widgetlocker version number & if there are any beta updates it will let you know.

There is also a push notification when a new beta appears but for me that always is delayed so manually hit the version number also checks if there is a beta update.

WidgetLocker steps for unlocking to WL on Galaxy S3 (JB) via Home button

I had this problem but here's how I got it working on an S3 with JB. Launcher is stock TW.

1) Enable HomeHelper Component.

2) Select WL HomeHelper (and choose Always).

3) Enable HomeHelper Block Home. (This will then enable the "Block Home in other ap.." option.)

4) Enable Block Home in other ap.."

Basically, all three options should be enabled in HomeHelper and the System Home should be WL HomeHelper.

The only difference I noticed is that when I know hit the Home key, the screen flickers but that's acceptable for me.

If that worked, hit "Thanks" to confirm results.

App Shortcuts?

Hi everyone,

I hope I'm not repeating anything -- I've done numerous searches (here and google) and didn't find this addressed -- but I'm having a problem with WL app shortcuts. I've added 4 of them to my lockscreen but they don't... go anywhere. They'll record missed calls, received texts, etc. but clicking on them does absolutely nothing, whether there are events or not. It's a stock S3 with Apex Launcher.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
Just a shout out to TeslaCoil, I gave up on WidgetLocker about a year ago on my Froyo phone because it couldn't beat the stock lock screen. Tried it again just now on Jelly Bean and it's really good. AccuWeather 4x2 on top, PlayerPro 4x2 on bottom, and Jelly Bean unlock ring in the center, with 8 targets, icons by Metro Station in ff0fff00 (Harlequin green) and I have an amazing lock screen. Thanks! I could do a pretty good one with my ROM's lock screen settings (it's AOKP) but this is better. It looks better and has more information.

Issue with my rooted ATT JB S3

I have my lockscreen set up with mail and calendar widgets (have tried stock and some 3rd party widgets) The problem is that if I click a mail message or a calendar event when on the lockscreen nothing happens. However, when I am in the widgetlocker program to set up the lockscreen, everything works normally. Clicking an email opens the email, and clicking a calendar event opens the event.

I don't have clicks disabled or anything... Is this a known issue and is there a workaround?
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
I have not used WidgetLocker recently but when I was using it I did not notice additional battery drain.
[Android Apps and Games] #illidan:
Works perfectly fine for me. Have you blocked interactions via a slider? Could you check whether settings - buttons & inputs - allow interactions is checked.

This is a bit of a nit-picky detail. I'm using Nova Prime and Widgetlocker with TeslaUnread. When I choose a color theme in Nova the unread notification boxes match the theme. In Widgetlocker, the unread boxes are the stock blue. I'd love to see a similar option in WL for setting a theme color. Also, most likely easier said than done, is to have the selection colors when navigating the menu screens match the color theme.

Hi kevin@TeslaCoil,

Found that when WidgetLocker lockscreen is in use.. the phone can be unlocked by physical home ( galaxy s2 - stock JB 4.1.2 / AOKP /CM10.1 roms )

Also in Aokp, cyanogen roms it is easily unlocked using notification bar toggles long press -> settings -> then home.. Also unlocked by pressing navigation touch keys..
[Android Apps and Games] wattsy87:
Hello all,

I haven't read through this entire thread - at over 2000 comments I daren't. I have an issue with Widgetlocker that I hope someone can help me with. Bear with me while I try to explain my problem best I can:

I use an HTC One X on stock Sense. I use WidgetLocker as a replacement for the stock lockscreen, and I have my phone password protected. On the stock lockscreen, you can launch in to the camera app without having to input your password, which is great. It means you can launch in to the camera and take as many pictures/videos in quick succession as you like, all saved to memory with no fuss and no hassle. Not so on the WL. I can add the camera app in to WL, and I can launch in to it sans password, but it is quite complex once in the app. WL seems to change the behaviour of the camera app. Normally you can take as many pictures in the app one after the other and they are all saved automatically to memory, which is brilliant with the One X as you can take photos really quickly. However, with WL, when you press the on screen shutter button, it takes a photo, then throws up a screen showing you the photo you have taken and asks if you want to keep it and a back button to cancel the photo. This adds a very inconvenient and time wasting step to what used to be so easy. If you wanted to take loads of photos quickly, WL gets in the way and prevents this by adding a step in everytime a photo is taken. I don't want it there, I'd like to be able to take the photos and have them store automatically as with the stock. I really don't like the confirmation step included in WL - can I remove it, does anyone know? Is there a setting somewhere in WL that removes this awkward step. I have looked but there doesn't appear to be one.

I apologise for the long winded explanation of my problem, it's hard to explain what the problem is, how it should be, and how I'd like it. I hope I can fix this, as I do take quite a lot of photos with my One X and as it stands, I can't use WidgetLocker because of this problem, which is a shame as I love WL and it's customisation and features. I emailed the developer but have had nothing back yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks,

Simon

It (interactions) is indeed checked. i dont have any sliders configured... Just widgets and back button unlock. Ive tried clearing cache, data, and reinstalling. No dice.
[Android Apps and Games] #illidan:
There has got to be a setting in WL that is causing the issue. If it's to difficult to figure which one it is I'd suggest you wipe WL's data & start all over again. Then your widget interactions will function properly.

Guys, you know the nice little

It's a common HTC Sense problem. Not sure what ROM you're using, but it's certainly not unconfirmed. That said, with Nova Launcher 2.0 out, we may get to see an update for this. Hopefully rewritten from scratch with the code modernised. I think most of the problems people have with WidgetLocker is simply down to "legacy code".

I am not too bothered about it but since DPI came up I though I might as well ask if you'll are facing the issue as well. It's a bit of a pain to edit the lock ring cause you don't really know where your selection has landed on.

On my s3 stock lock screen, I can unlock by touching anywhere on the screen and then sliding a bit. Any way to do that with WL or do I have to start the unlock by touching where the icon is first?

Nope touch icon first

[Android Apps and Games] krsmit0:
I kind of faked the s3 slide anywhere with a large transparent slider with a transparent icon. Its several rows high which makes a really big target to slide. Slide right it unlocks. Slide left I get camera. Its all transparent so its not visible.

This is how mine looks with the sliders made visible. Similar function to s3 lock screen.

Guys I keep getting this problem with widget locker. It happens every now and then

Is this a problem with widgetlocker in general or just for me?
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
Happens to me all the time too. Very frustrating! Also, sometimes doesn't even show lock screen (straight to home screen). And other times it goes to the lock screen tool mode, rather than proper lock mode. I'm on Omega ROM v27 in case it matters. But it did this when I was stock.

Hopefully Tesla will be putting in some work on this after the Nova Launcher updates are finished.

The only issues I have, are the screen timeout adjustments (shuts off in 10 seconds, haven't been able to lengthen it since last updated) and if i get a text over the lock screen and go to open it instead of just responding, the stock lock screen comes up too.

Dear Kevin.

I am developing a widget that has a listview. This listview has a pendingintenttemplate.

When the widget is in widgetlocker, the intents are never called when the widget is in widgetlocker, but only when I am in lock mode. The taps are correctly passed to the widget in tool mode.

Do you have any suggestion?

I am not linking to the widget not to make it seem an ad of my program, but I can send the info to you if you want.

Thank you very much for WidgetLocker and NovaLaucher.

Animated GIFs displayed on WidgetLocker?

Hi All,

Just bought WidgetLocker tonight and I had a brainwave that it would be awesome to have an animated GIF showing on the lockscreen, and it seems like this question always pops up now and again, but I thought it's worth asking again in case there is a solution out there now.

Basically I just want to have a small animated GIF showing on the (WidgetLocker) lockscreen. I know I can have a 0% alpha background to let a live wallpaper show through, but ideally I'd rather have different images for lock & home screens. First up I tried to find a widget that would display an animated GIF as this seemed like the easiest route. Couldn't find any that worked properly... (If anyone has suggestions here, I'm all ears!)

Next I tried to use UCCW to create a widget using a GIF image. Didn't display there so scratch that idea. (Although maybe I should ask in the UCCW thread - does anyone think that could be possible?)

Finally I'm all out of ideas, I did see a post here about creating an app that animates a series of images from a zip file: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9989175&postcount=7

I'm no developer, but if there's no other option I'm willing to give that a try!

Alternatively does anyone know of other methods that could display the same animated effect? For example a widget that will quickly cycle a series of images to create an animated look? It would be easy enough to split a GIF into individual frames.

Cheers for any ideas & info on this! :good:

Edit >> As a sidepoint I also just realised that a GIF could also easily be converted to a video format like MOV or AVI etc. So in that case, are there any ways to get those formats playing in WidgetLocker or in a widget?
[Android Apps and Games] skratch1702:
I've owned WidgetLocker for a long time & really like it but the home button debacle is a major problem for me on my S3. I have two questions for this thread. When I use the home helper setting I always get the popup every time I cut my phone off & back on. I don't get this with holo locker I just set it one time with that lock screen replacement. I use stock TW by the way. My next question is it possible to use a transparent wallpaper with WL & if so how do I set it up? :)
[Android Apps and Games] mugget:
Quick question: how can I access the files for the Jellybean slider (one of the defaults available in WL)? I just want to change the colour from white to match the rest of my lock screen.

Also are there any guides that show how to create the different types of custom sliders (other than the iPhone style slider)? For example - what resources would need to be created to make a jellybean default style slider from scratch?

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

I'm not sure if that can be done or not (I suspect not), but why do you want a transparent wallpaper? What affect are you trying to achieve? There is often more than one way... or at least ways to fake it till you make it. ;) :p

[Android Apps and Games] FrydaeXIII:
Is it possible set Widgetlocker such that It would return to my homescreen after pressing back from an app I opened from Widgetlocker instead of back to widgetlocker (Not by pressing the home button, by pressing back till it exits)? Kinda like Samsung's default lockscreen.

I currently use the default pattern screen under widgetlocker, so after starting an app from widgetlocker, I am required to enter my pattern before using the app, but after exiting it, it goes back to widgetlocker, but the default pattern screen doesn't come back on, so the swipe to unlock in widgetlocker is kinda redundant and would prefer it to go back to the homescreen instead. Also, would like to see a delay screen timeout feature to go with the phone's delay lock.
