yup. no matter what i pick nothing changes.
[Android Themes] by4x5:
ugh, just remember i changed the tint to black. completely forgot, no wonder it didn't change no matter what i picked. disregard.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I don't know what to tell you, it works for me. Maybe you should restart your phone, what are the file formats of the images you're trying to use and are you sure you've checked "Alternative Wallpaper"?
[Android Themes] gadzio:
nobody has any idea ?
[Android Themes] kanttii:
Do you mean that when you apply the slider and resize it the wallpaper+slider combination will be screwed? Screenshot?
[Android Themes] gadzio:
yep, the slider width doesn't fit to the wallpaper one.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Why don't you attach what you have so far so we can take a look at it and help you diagnose what can be the issue?
[Android Themes] gadzio:
voilà, the wallpaper is inside the zip with the wltheme. (grid 12*12)
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Reduce the width back down to 480 also shink the height down to about 200 or something. I'd even get rid of the extra black space at the bottom but try the first things I mentioned first before editing the actual pic.

Also keep what you have and just make a copy of it and work from that so that you have the original.

EDIT: I don't know the dimensions of your display but mine is 480 across and the lock as it is works as it with grid 3x4, but still shrinking it down to 480 would work even better though.

[Android Themes] gadzio:
Thx, I have a motorola defy, display dimension are 854*480, maybe this is why the slider width doesn't fit properly to the screen. I tried your setup (480*200) but it's still not what i want. Anyway thanks for your help, I'll try to resize the wallpaper to adapt the slider.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
It doesn't really have anything to do with the wallpaper. I'm not sure exactly how you want the lock to look or how it should slide because on my phone it looked ok. I'm not sure what you're going for. Did you keep the original and use the 3x4 grid?
[Android Themes] Dukko:
I don't know if there's a fix, but who knows.

I was having some FCs issues on another app, so I tried to fix permissions with ROM Manager.

Since then, WL is behaving weirdly.

First of all, the pin unlock doesn't show up. I had to disable it to use my phone's connectivity.

Secondly, WL starts REALLY slow. Something like 20 seconds after boot, but no android lockscreen appears in place of it. Really don't know what's happening.

Also, after every boot, widgets disappear. I don't have Theme Chooser, but I do have a CyanogenMod custom ROM (NsCollab, for those Nexus S savvy).

I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, no luck.
[Android Themes] narrowduke:
How do I remove the "status bar" at the top with batteri, small clock etc from my lock screen?

[Android Themes] :
I'm running WL 2.1 on my EVO 4G unrooted Android 2.3 and I've been having a lot of problems. I'm not sure

1) It will only replace the stock lock screen if I set the system settings to lock "immediately" after inactivity. Otherwise, I have to go through WL lock screen, stock lock screen, and then my PIN entry screen.

- If I set the system to lock "immediately", WL turns the display on for 15 seconds when it activates.

2) WL automatically silences my alarms after they go off.

Anyone else with this problem?
[Android Themes] Coolex74:

I have a similar problem, it turnes of my open apps when the lock kicks in..

Like if im browsing with an app and it is searching, the lock kicks in and then when i unlock i have to open app and start over the search...
[Android Themes] Alhena:
I have a wish... Is there any way to 'save' our custom lock screens?

Like, today I have a lock with a, b and c widgets/sliders, next week with v, f and h, but then I want to have the previous one...

I don't know if I'm clear enough?
[Android Themes] Smabbage:
A take it you would like some kind of user defined preset system where you set Widgetlocker up the way you like and save the configuration thus allowing you to switch between them easily? That would be cool but as far as I know it's not a function of the program.
[Android Themes] Alhena:
That's what I meant! I know is not a function of the program, that's why I wrote it like a wish... It would be useful, right?
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
I know, quoting myself, I just wanted to say that this seems to have been a kernel thing on Serendipity VII, I flashed the updated kernel #4 this morning and voila, my widgets are 'sticking' on my lockscreen again. Just want to let anyone who might also be experiencing widget problems on Serendipity that there's a fix for it.
[Android Themes] Dungeon47:
Whenever I add certain themes like some of the MIUI ones, they show up much smaller than my screen size. Is there a way to fix this? Other themes fit fine.

Search is down, and I've looked around, but haven't found an answer, so I apologize if this has been covered.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
WL Settings > Look and Feel> Layout...You can try changing the grid size. That might help.
[Android Themes] Dungeon47:
Thank you. Turned out I needed to make them more than one row high. I'm used to how ADW handles widget sizing, where it just cuts it off instead of scaling it.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
No problem. ;)
[Android Themes] shokwaav:
slight problem...

lately when i'm selecting a WL slider from the dropdown menu, WL freezes and it takes a while for the list to appear. Most of the time Android pops up the "widgetlocker is not responding".

[Android Themes] sinuri:
Hi,

i'm searching for a possibility to unlock the phone with a button instead of a classic slider.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks for your answers.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
At this time, I don't think that's possible.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
That's one of the things that annoys me about the iphone sliders. It takes a lot of trial and error to get things to line up properly. Just keep working with it. Maybe you can also move the 1x1 dot at the top over a bit more to the left or right.
[Android Themes] laba82:
Actually it is possible, using one right now.

Just add default android slider, disable unlocking and sound sliders and use the center button for unlocking.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
How are you doing this though? Because if this can be done that would be great.
[Android Themes] laba82:
By adding the default android slider to WidgetLocker.

Then pulling the unlock slider right and choosing "Disabled".

Sound slider left and choosing "Disabled".

Push circle in center of the sliders and choose "WidgetLocker Actions" -> Unlock.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Awesome...I never even thought of even going into those options for anything...thanks...lol. :)

Just to be clear to everyone, this is done before adding or saving the lock to your screen.
[Android Themes] thebeardedchild:
So before I had Widgetlocker, I had my screen timeout set to 30 seconds, which was fine. And I noticed that while the screen was on but the phone WASN'T unlocked, the timeout seemed much quicker, which I also liked. However, with Widgetlocker, it seems that it uses the same timeout for both? I try setting it to thirty, which is nice while I'm using the phone normally, but when I, say, get a text or something it wakes the screen but it stays woken for the whole thirty seconds on Widgetlocker (which is wayyy too long). however, if i shorten to the timeout to accommodate this, then the screen turns off wayyyy too quick while I'm reading an article, etc.

Can I separate the two times? Or perhaps suggest this addition for future updates?

Also, on a sidenote, has anyone else noticed that the screen unlock sounds don't quite function properly?
[Android Themes] sinuri:
Thank you. I've never noticed the circle between the sliders.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Try this:

WL Settings > Screen Timeout > Custom Timeout > Uncheck it
[Android Themes] thebeardedchild:
I tried that, but then when a text wakes my phone (while still locked), it stays on for the full 30 seconds or whatever I set it to. Before, the stock lock screen would timeout after like 5 seconds regardless of what I had the setting at.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Have you disabled the stock lock screen?
[Android Themes] thebeardedchild:
Not yet, however I just tried some different combinations of widgetlocker override timeout and the regular timeout in system settings and now it seems to be working great :D And to solve another problem in my first post, I got my lock/unlock sounds to work better, by using custom sounds. I'm not totally in love with the ones I found, but I dunno where I can find more custom sounds to use...

Any ideas?

[Android Themes] castaway1:
i play with this but does not help :( thank you anyway
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
You played with it? Seriously, you need to "Disable Stock Lock Screen" or else the stock lock screen will keep coming on. I'm only telling you this because I was having the exact same problem and it worked. Disable the stock lock and restart your phone.
[Android Themes] shokwaav:
so is it my phone or is it widgetlocker?

if i have the same widgets on the lockscreen and on my home screen, they're never exactly aligned. i've adjusted the layout in the settings but the widget in widgetlocker is always slightly larger or slightly smaller.

i would probably attribute it to the dock on my home screen not being exactly 4x1 but i hope someone can give me an idea on how to fix this.
[Android Themes] castaway1:
i really try anything with it..When i press it it say its already disabled becouse of "easy wake mode is on" when i turn off easy wake, it told me to turn it on if i want disable stock lock screen..there is no more i can do with it :rolleyes:

Or if anyone can suggest another notify application please do. Thanks.

Missed It! will handle any program that uses the standard notification system now, go check out the thread to read up on it (this links to pertinent discussion on the issue ).
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Here's what you can do:

Long press on the lock (if it's placed on your screen already) and click the little icon in the upper right hand corner or Add (as if you were trying to add a lock theme) > Lock menu/configuration [for a MIUI lock] > press the middle of the lock and slide down > in the "Action" tab > press WidgetLocker Actions > press "Unlock" > Save.

Unfortunately this is what I've done already and still no go. I spoke to dj_deez who said it's a WL bug. Thanks for the reply.

HTC Inspire 4g

Android 2.2.1 Non rooted

Unfortunatly I am too new to post links to the screenshots showing my problem, so i will described them in as much detail as possible.

Inspired by the Portal Lock Screen posted on Reddit a few days ago, I decided to make a custom portal themed slider using WidgetLocker.

I created two portal sliders with transparent backgrounds. The left one is unlock and the right is for ringer mode.

The slider works and changes icons according to ringer state, but i cannot remove the standard android slider background.

The file names I used are as follows...

ic_jog_dial_lock.png

ic_jog_dial_sound_off.png

ic_jog_dial_sound_on.png

ic_jog_dial_unlock.png

ic_jog_dial_vibrate_on.png

Any help would be appreciated.

[Android Themes] vanessaem:
LOL...yeah, when it comes to making these themes and the subsequent testing and retesting them, you have to restart to clear up the traces of the previous file if you're using the same file name. What I do is just rename the zip each time to avoid having to restart constantly.

Hello .. I need some help .. I'm trying to make a "paper ripping" sense slider to open the phone ..

now the problem is .. i have a sense slider exactly as you said .. 300pixels height and the only way to make it be on the most bottom part of the screen is by not making it fit the sides ...

Argh .. I made a big mess .. I dont know how to explain .. I mean

that when i pull both side edges to the max .. ( lets say i have 6 columns .. ) i pull to make it on all the 6 columns and then it wont fit the bottom ... it is abit above the bottom .. and if i pul it on 4 columns it will fit exactly the bottom but ofcourse it wont be on the whole place ...

*The sense slider wont stay at the most bottom screen in sum .. hehe

Hope you can help me :S

Attach your file please.

To everyone, when asking questions especially visual and implementation questions about a slider you're working on, it's always helpful to find some way to attach the file.

portal.bar.wltheme.zip - has everything how id like them minus the changing icons

portal.changing.icons.wltheme.zip - has the changing icons, but it also has the android background.
[Android Themes] paulthepwner:
I've also got a question of sorts about ADW notifier. I get all the notifications correctly, but I was wondering if there was a way for me to put the icon for each app (gmail, email, sms, phone, etc) on the lock screen so that it would show the number of unread messages, but make it so it is NOT launchable while the phone is locked. I'd like to be able to see the status of my messages at a glance, but not make it so if I fat finger unlocking the device I end up launching email.

Edit: nevermind it's in the widgetlocker buttons & inputs settings page as "allow Interactions" (I wanted it disabled)
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Ok, looking at your file it looks like you have a bunch of jog dial files but then you're wanting to do a moto slider so which do you want to do?
[Android Themes] azangerle:
You can disregard all of the blank files for now.

I would like to use the jog_dial*.pngs (the ones with the blue and orange graphic) for sliders.

I would like the left slider to unlock, and the right slider to toggle ringer settings. In addition i would like the right slider to change according to what "state" the ringer is in (IE muted,vibrate,on). Finally I would like there to be no background, just the portal sliders.

I have been able to get it working except the last part. Every time I add this slider widgetlocker adds the standard slider bar behind my graphic.

Thank you for your time.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Let me ask this question: What kind of lock are you trying to do because I don't think you can combine two types of locks to make one?

Please pick from these WL-style options:

A. Android

B. iPhone

C. MIUI

D. Moto

E. Rotary

F. Sense

Do you know the difference between each? If you do, please pick which one you want to do.
[Android Themes] azangerle:
Im looking for a horizontal swipe lock like the default android one.

I was unable to find an indepth how to on making your own sliders so i have been reverse engineering ones i find online. Thats how I was able to figure out the files names needed for my initial "iphone slider" i linked above.

The reason i used jog.dial names for my second slider is because it was the only way i could get the icons to change per ringer "state".

Is there a indepth guide on file naming conventions out there for each type of slider? If there is im sure i could figure it out.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
You got my PM right? I was telling you how you should go about it. Please follow that. Jog_dial.png's are for the rotary themes and android.png's are for the android themes. I'm trying to help you out here but you're making it kind of difficult. :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] azangerle:
Sorry about that. I am a bit over my head trying to figure out what file name conventions work with what type of themes. The only how to's i can find show iphone sliders.
[Android Themes] marriedman624:
Why don't you download a android style slider, put it on your phone, play with it and see what changes.

Then look at the picture files to determine what your naming convention needs to be based on the changes that occured on the phone.

That is what I would do.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
That's exactly what I told him to do in my PM to him but he refuses to do it...lol.
