Can the lockscreen be disabled when charging?

I've been using WL for several months, and I am very happy with how it works (thanks Kevin ;)) - but I am missing some functionality that I had in a WinMo app.

Apologies if the answer is already in the hundreds of pages, but several searches didn't bring it up.

When the phone is charging, I would like the lockscreen to be disabled. Why? Well, simply because in that situation, there is no risk to buttons being pressed. And I'd much prefer to just press the power button and get back to where I was on the phone.

I think apps can be enabled/disabled as a result of the power state - is this already available in WL?

And if not, can I make it a feature request?

Pin/Gesture lock on Widgetlocker

Hey,

I was wondering if it is possible to have a Pin/Gesture lock on widgetlocker.

I do like the way you can customize your lockscreen, but do want to have a 'safe' lock as well.

What i do not want is 2 lockscreens (first widgetlocker, than dflt android) or an invisible slider.
[Android Themes] Rinoko72:
WL dose support Pin/gesture lock, I have not used it myself, by I think you have to deactivate the "easylock" mode, then under the advanced setting there is a option for "keep the system lock" or something like that (mine is writen in Norwegain, so that is most likely a bad translation :p)

In the same advanced setting menu you can deactivate "standard lockscreen" which should mean that you don't have to open 2 lock screens to unlock you Gs2..

Hope this helpes.. :cool:

From what I can find out, there's no way to prvent the lock screen comming on during charging, unless you change the lock out time manually every time you charge :eek:

sorry mack, maybe some else knows more then me.. :o
[Android Themes] daoth:
Changing the lock out time while charging, that s probably possible using tasker.

However, I can not get it to work apparently. I have the WL slider AND the pin lock.

I want a customizable lock screen, with pin lock, possible?

With the new version 2.2 I've added a Honeycomb lock widget, however it does Sound settings top, left, bottom (with no icon) and unlock to the right. What I can't seem to find is any way to edit or delete it now it's on my screen. The old style swipe left/right can be moved, edited and deleted fine.

Anyone worked out how to do it yet?
[Android Themes] Rinoko72:
I worked for me if I pressed & holded just a above and to the left of the "lock" icon..

You get a little popup window with 3 choices.. :D
[Android Themes] polstein:
Love the Honeycomb lock, but I think it's a bit small for me (the icon). There a way to make it bigger without having to use 1/2 the screen to do it?

Would that involve changing the icon somehow? I'll have to look up how to skin the Honeycomb version, if possible, tomorrow.
[Android Themes] PhilDX:
why does WidgetLocker require full internet access permission?
[Android Themes] Rinoko72:
Not sure why it needs it, I've block internett access from day 1 and everything works fine :)

Maybe it's so the program can check for updates..? ;)
[Android Themes] Smabbage:
Has anyone busted out a tutorial on how to make the new themes and if so, where? Nothing has popped up on the Tesla Coil Website.
[Android Themes] sabret00the:
Loving the ICS unlock widget, but how do you apply a command to the bottom?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Yeah so every time I try to pick a theme this app freezes and force closes. Does anyone know a fix other than uninstalling and reinstalling because I already tried that. :confused:

Is WidgetLocker not compatible with Sense 3.0 now?
[Android Themes] funkpod:
hey, the new Ice Cream Sandwich slider is AWESOME!

love it!

question, is there a way that you can replace the ICON for that slider? Like, the Padlock icon that just sits there. I would love to have a camera lock, maybe that is something we need to do in GIMP? or is that in a setting somewhere?

THank you again!
[Android Themes] Rinoko72:
You can change the short cuts under the setting menu.. ;)

You open the WL app from you app tray, then you see your lock screen.

Press and hold on the slider you want to change, and you should get a little pop up window where you can choose "edit".

In the edit mode for that slider you then get good instructions about how you can change the short cut & icon.. :)

Hope this helped you :)
[Android Themes] Carnelain:
I've searched my ass off and I can't find anything. Scrolled through the complete theme thread. Well I guess I have to make something myself. Q: would that be difficult?

I've looked at the tutorial in the first post but I guess there is a problem with the images. Q: is it hosted somewhere else?

If not could the op sent me the images then I'll add it to the wiki.
[Android Themes] funkpod:
hey, thanks for your input, i mean this icon, though. it's circled in the pic.

i don't see a way to change that under the settings menu, i can only change what happens to the slider AFTER i drag it, but not when it is just sitting on my lockscreen. does that make sense?
[Android Themes] Rinoko72:
i don't see a way to change that under the settings menu, i can only change what happens to the slider AFTER i drag it, but not when it is just sitting on my lockscreen. does that make sense?[/QUOTE]

Which versjon are you running, how you can change this is slightly different depending on your versjon.

Is it the latest update which came a few days ago?
[Android Themes] funkpod:
yeah, it's the new update.

this is not a typical slider, it's the new ice cream sandwich slider. when you slide it to the left or right, or top or bottom, it unlocks to the specific app (or unlocks my phone) it's totally great.

my gut feeling is that i have to actually edit the slider, the same way that you have to edit it to make a custom slider.
[Android Themes] Rinoko72:
Jepp, you do sort of the same way..

What I did was press and hold just above and to the left or right of the middle icon..

After a few seconds, a pop up window should open with "edit, remove, resize".

When you hit edit, a new window opens where you can change the four short cuts for up/down/left/right.. there you can change the icon picture as well. :)

There is a "save" icon at top left when your done editing.. ;)

Major problem after installing newest version of widgetlocker

hey guys im hoping that someone can help me... i use widgetlocker religiously but ive encountered a few problems over the last few weeks with differernt updates... i have an unrooted htc thunderbolt and it seems that certain versions of widgetlocker including the most recent update basically HALTS my android system processes... long story short: i can still use every app ive already installed (including WL) and i can make calls and text and etc... but i cant install or unistall any app... when i try to it just continues to say installing or uninstalling and never finishes... i also took a look and the application settings and noticed that when i look at a certain app (in settings) that it says computing... and never stops. example... when i look at the application info of the Market, under storage it says total: computing..., Application: computing..., Data: computing, and under cache it says computing as well... it seems that the processes have just halted... and it also says this for every preinstalled app aswell the android system...

Sadly, this isnt the first time this has happened... i had another bolt prior to this one but i wasnt sure what the problem was so i called verizon and since i have full protection they sent me another one... the problem is that if this is the same problem as before... if i turn my phone off (or it dies) it wont fully boot back up. it will get stuck at the thunderbolt splash screen and the only way around it will be to boot into recovery and factory reset the device.... inturn losing everything on my phone... so.... is anyone else having this issue...
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Ok, had to solve my own problem I guess.

Here's my solution for anyone else running into this issue after upgrading. I had to go into the data folder on the SD card and delete the old com.teslacoilssw.widgetlocker folder. I uninstalled the WidgetLocker app and then reinstall it. Now it works.

Way to directly open the notification bar from a locked Widget Locker screen

I am currently using the stock pattern unlock for security and love how selecting an application from widget locker sends me to the pattern unlock screen prior to continuing on to the selected application. Since I use "Wave Launcher" and "Application Folder" I have no need to access the current Home launcher that I am using (GoLauncher). So I am using Widget Locker like a Home launcher (See attached screenshot). I know that it is not designed for this but it works flawlessly except for one thing that I hope someone can resolve for me. I need a way to open the notification bar from a locked Widget Locker screen. Currently I have to unlock the device by opening an application or using Widget Lockers native unlock action and only then can I open up the notification bar. This results in wasted steps going back to the Widget Locker screen or into the default home launcher (GoLauncher). I could use a notification widget but I keep the notification bar visible because it is the only way to be sure I receive my Gmail notifications due to the new security update for Gmail. So, I either need a native Widget Locker action that opens up the notification bar or an application that opens up the notification bar. Unfortunately, I have tried Status Bar Expander but it does not work until the pattern lock has unlocked the phone. Preventing the notification bar from being accessed may be a security feature that we are unable to breach in Android but I hope some Android Guru has a work-around. If Android security prevents this scenario, a native Widget Locker action that just sends me to the pattern unlock and then back to the Widget Locker screen would be the best work-around. In case my descriptions are confusing here is an example of what I want to achieve: I want to turn on my pattern locked phone > access the notification bar > select the notification I want to view > unlock the phone via the pattern unlock screen > go directly to the notification that I selected. Thanks for your time.
[Android Themes] th3taman:
Internet access is probably so you can access the XDA threads from the possible slider options. There's a hyperlink in there.
[Android Themes] funkpod:
i'm clueless. :confused:

i can't seem to get it to change the main center icon, only the north, south, west, east icons. can you post a pic? if you get a chance. sheepish me.

thanks!
[Android Themes] coolbry95:
Where do you extract the default themes from? Sorry if its already been asked a hundred times
[Android Themes] Rinoko72:
Your clueless, I'm an idiot :(

I now know what your asking about, sorry I misunderstood you.. looks like the only way to change that is with a new theme..

Looks like a few people have started making them, may be you could make a request to one of then to get the icon you want.. :)
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
If you allow the use of your menu button you can hit menu and then Notifications.

I want to make my own custom sliders, are they just png files? From what i can see in a zipped folder of one i have is that they are all png files just labeled differently.Would i be wrong in sayin all i have to do is just change the pictures keeping the file sizes the same and then turning it back to a zip folder and then i would then have a custom slider?
[Android Themes] funkpod:
haha, don't worry about it, that's why these forums are great! :D

where do i find the an original ics widget locker .zip file so that i can make my own theme?
[Android Themes] Step666:
You would be right - that's exactly how I produced my first custom slider.
[Android Themes] syrguy1969:
Her it is....I grabbed it from the theme thread last night, can't remember who posted it (sorry, if you see this please let me know and you will get the credit your due).

I am making a few myself, but not as unlockers, I am going to use them as pure launchers (I know there are other apps for that, but I think the ICS locker is really cool)!!
[Android Themes] 32str8:

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

I already have that enabled and it is how I am currently opening notifications. But, that still takes me to the default home launcher where, as you said, I have go launcher set up to open the notifications bar with a downward swipe. Still an extra step into the default home launcher. I just want to be able to open up my notifications bar > click on the notification I want to go to > unlock my pattern lock > see the notification I clicked on. This is how all the other shortcuts/applications work with the security pattern lock, except for the notification bar. I have a feeling that Android does not allow access to the notification bar until it is unlocked, otherwise this should be a fairly easy thing to allow in Widget Locker. It only makes sense that when a notification comes up you should be able to swipe down to open it but everything I have tried including programs such as status bar expander don't work until the phone is unlocked. Can someone confirm or deny this security issue in Android?
[Android Themes] chance4434:
Thanks im new to this kinda thing so i wanted to be sure before i tried it
[Android Themes] coolbry95:
How do you make it so widget locker comes up when you get a call? and be able to answer it with that?
[Android Themes] Hille2001:

the background of the slider should be transparent

thank you

The Ice Cream Sandwich lockscreen is great, but is there a way to theme the outer ring?
[Android Themes] syrguy1969:
If you look a few posts up I posted the original ics lock file, in there are the images for the ring....you can change them to any color you like. I made a few already. I will post images when I can!

I can't get missed count to work for gmail. Does it need to be a certain icon or does it go off app used in adw notifier?
[Android Themes] Step666:
I'm sure that as of version 2.3.5, G-Mail doesn't work with third-party notification apps/widgets - NB, that's version 2.3.5 of the G-Mail app, not of the OS as a whole.

Double Lock Screen on Motorola Phones

i posted a potential workaround / feature request addressing the double lock screen on Motorola phones in post#7 in this thread.

maybe i should have posted it here instead, i dunno, but i didn't want to get yelled at for double posting...
[Android Themes] Rinoko72:
I think you are correct.. I've seen a few different app's for notification stating this, that they do not work with gmail 2.3.5 :)
[Android Themes] mes215:
syrguy1969,

I used that one, but I don't mean the outer ring on the lock (the handle press), but rather the one that goes around all the other icons. I haven't been able to figure that one out.

Never mind, updated below.
[Android Themes] Davey Boy:
i'm sure i'm making a simple mistake... i designed a theme earlier... the slider image loads up when i install it on my fone... but the background of the slider bar doesn't show.... any ideas?

background image size 480 x 152 (consisting of a semi-transparent img) - theme attached.

thanks!
[Android Themes] mes215:
Thanks, I finally realized what I was doing wrong, had to remove the theme_ from theme_ics_outerring

Once that was done, it themed correctly. Thanks for your help.
[Android Themes] NetSkipper:
Hello all.

Yesterday I've installed WidgetLocker 2.2.1. I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830) on Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock.

WidgetLocker is working fine, but there is one major issue - I can see it on Active applications. I have many apps that are running in the background, but I see them only on Running apps...

It's really uncomfortable because sometimes I'm ending apps by tapping End all, and this also kills WidgetLocker...
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
I've actually seen that myself, but prior to the recent WidgetLocker upgrade. I'll keep my eye open now to see if it happens again.
[Android Themes] NetSkipper:
In previous WidgetLocker versions, this issue existed? Is there any point to write the developer?

Update:

Another issue. I have an app FriendCaster for Facebook and there are Notification Popups. There is an option to Bypass Lockscreen. If I'm disabling this option, it will not bypass the default Android Locksreen. With WidgetLocker the popups are bypassing in any case...

Another update:

Whatsapp: when unlocking with WidgetLocker the notification icon at the status bar are vanishing - not cool at all!
[Android Themes] gwcaton:
I read the first post, mentions an update to creating themes coming soon. Has it come and gone and i missed it . Was wanting to try to learn to do these but all the pics are out of bandwith .

A good tutorial anywhere else ?

Thanks!
[Android Themes] sabret00the:
Has anyone posted any icons for the ICS slider? I need a music icon and also a browser icon.

[Android Themes] baySF:
yeaah the first post is where he tells u how to make a WL theme but those instructions are very dull and im pretty sure that photoshop is outta date. i just tried making one and gave up. couldnt understand his instructions. someone should make a youtube vid or something.

as for ur WL always getting killed. if ur using go launcher, u can easily tap on the app and hit lock. that way it wont ever be killed unless u kill it urself.
[Android Themes] flixos:
Hi, i've been using Widgetlocker for a while, and i've noticed a bug about the clock widget on the lockscreen; battery is always showing 100%. It only changes when you're charging it, but then, when you pull the charger off, the 100% keeps itself there with no changes. Is there any way to fix this?. It's a shame 'cause that forces me to use another battery & clock widget on the screen, two widgets making the same than just the one i would need.

I'm using widgetlocker 2.2.1 on a Nexus One 2.3.6 rooted.
[Android Themes] dragonsofcp:
I had that too. Try unclicking under the clocks settings only show when charging. Then reboot your phone. That worked for me.

Wondering if this is normal or if I need to check some setting

Whenever I leave my A2' screen off long enough so that the pattern lock activates, after I swiped my lock, the screen slightly fades into the homescreen then flashes back to the pattern...

Minor inconvenience, just wondering if it's possible to get rid of that. I have the Root Helper on and the Auto Swipe set to MotoBionic since I think that's the most similar one

Thanks~

using latest widgetlocker 2.2.1 with Galaxy S2 2.3.5

when i select a lockscreen wallpaper with WL from pictures taken with the phone's camera, they are always rotated 90 degrees. doesn't matter if i take a picture in portrait or landscape with the phone, and even if i rotate and save in a diff prog, they always appear rotated in WL. pics from wallpaper apps like backgrounds etc are fine.

any help is much appreciated :)

HTC EVO 3D: Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.

Using the latest WidgetLocker, I'm encountering issues when I receive incoming calls and when my alarms go off. Example: The screen will freeze up on the incoming call screen (answer/ignore) and the ICS Lock Icon (Using the ICS theme) will appear on the screen. When I proceed to press anything or swipe anything, nothing happens. If I wait it out as a missed call or wait till the alarm ends, it will eventually return to normal state. Pretty annoying. Thanks again for any help with this situation.
[Android Themes] simes6600:
has been fixed in the latest 2.2.2 beta. cheers Kevin :)

I have the problem as well and i unchecked it so it doesn't show battery at all but when you swipe down on the clock "Battery 100%" will show up for a few seconds...not that big a deal but just knowing it is there makes me swipe down lol
[Android Themes] Anªk|n:
I have a similar problem here. I'm trying to customize my slider and I have a question. I don't know if somewhere in the previous (and numerous :)) pages there is the answer but I haven't found it, so here I go.

What dimension could I use for slider_left.png? It comes out too small everytime. Which is widgetLocker behavior if I fail width or height sizes, autoresizing?

Thanks gentlemen :)
[Android Themes] chris_banks2:
I was wondering if there is the option for delayed lockscreen activation, on (time out or otherwise) similar to CM7.

I have looked through the options to no avail, but was hoping I missed it and someone could point out...

I would love the see this feature in future versions (If its not already here).

Hi all,

Had my phone for about 3 weeks. (SGS2)

Been playing around with themes & widgetlocker etc.

There is 1 thing I am not able to figure out.

I have downloaded heaps of themes & they are all available when I go to edit my lock screen. However, when I try to change icons I am only getting the basic widgetlocker icons. (see screen shot) From “icon/built in” option on the edit page.

The only other options I have are to use icons from my gallery or ICS theme or the ADW icon pack.

I would have thought there would be heaps more icons from all the themes I have downloaded?

Is there something else I need to do?

I am running Go Launcher Ex, if that is of any relevance.

Also, I apologise if this is a noob question but I've not been able to find an answer & I've searched for a couple of days.

thanks.
[Android Themes] CycoKilla:
I guess I should have asked my question in the themes thread.

Bound to get a response in there. LOL
[Android Themes] Phaze13:
For the ICS themes, I open the zip and copy the icons to another location. Then when setting up theme you can choose to use your gallery and locate the icons.

Seems like there should be an easier way, but thats' what I'm doing.
[Android Themes] CycoKilla:
OK, cool.

I was thinking of heading down that path too.

I just was wondering if there was an easier way because I grabbed a heap of themes from the themes thread & it is going to be pretty labour intensive. lol

Thanks for the reply!

[Android Themes] Rinoko72:
Which version of Wigdet Locker do you have?

I know what you are talking about and I have fixed that problem it on mine, but I'am still looking where I did so that I can ell you what to do :o
[Android Themes] yultica:
thanks for the help. i am currently using version 2.2.2. :)
[Android Themes] Rinoko72:
Are you using the standard TW launcher? I think I had that problem when I used it, but now I'm using Launcher Pro, I'm not having this problem..

It had something to do with not allowing the home button to function or not, which is under: setting- button & settings menu..

See if there is something there that stops the screen unlocking when the home button is pressed :)
