82 themes? I think you are trying to add the old themes in Widget Locker 2.0. That wouldn't work.

This problem is really starting to bother me. I would like to hide my status bar but I need a correct time. Could someone please help?
[Android Themes] Nagarebozhi:

Sorry for my bad English.

battery life

Has anyone noticed a difference in their battery life with the new WL version. I always found it really light on the battery, but not so much since the new version. I'm trying some things out to try and zero in on the problem, but I am curious if anyone else has noticed this.
[Android Themes] funkpod:
Hey, i've got a problem w/ the new widget locket force closing when i try and add certain themes. i had the pacman theme working, and then tried another one, only to go back to the pacman theme and then it doesn't load now.

anyone else having that problem? not all of the themes you can download from the widget locker site directly not working?
[Android Themes] KingDavid36:
I haven't noticed any changes in battery life with the new version. Do you have Apps2SD to put moveable apps on the SD Card? sounds like you need to create some space on the System storage along with the usual mods like brightness, streaming, and automatic notifications...
[Android Themes] mattfmartin:
Why doesn't my wltheme.zip have an option to install it. Its in the right place. /data/app/com.teslacoilsw/widgetlocker/themes. What am I doing wrong?
[Android Themes] xreflection:
Hey guys, just bought widgetlocker from the market. I had my lockscreen all setup, but when I rebooted, it freaked out and it didnt save (or so I thought). After I set the grid rows/columns to what I had before, it came back. Is there anyway to get the lockscreen to work right on boot?
[Android Themes] KingDavid36:
Let me ask the obvious. When you modded the theme package did you remmebr to change the prview imge to display your theme design? If you didn't it's possible the theme is there but just showing artwork for something else! Just a thought. Double check.
[Android Themes] KingDavid36:
You shouldn't have to re-mod your WL Layout after reboot. It's disabled by default on rebbot and if you mount your Device's Disk it's disabled by default. All you hVE TO DO IS GO TO YOUR apps menu and relaunch WL. The settings you had previously should still be there.
[Android Themes] xreflection:
Did your caps lock break for 5 or so words? Widget locker clearly was running when I booted back up. It just had the custom slider only, with none of my widgets or settings set up and everything all screwed up. But I'll see what happens next boot.

EDIT Umm..yeah. my settings don't load when I open widgetlocker. I have to go in and change the grid setup to get my stuff back. Also some settings (like root helper) don't get saved

Ideas?

Hey guys,

I've a problem with widgetlocker when I try to install a theme. I can't choose widgetlocker as an app when I open the .wltheme.zip

Anyone who can help me?

Thanks
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Copy the .wltheme.zip to /data/com.widgetlocker.teslacoilsw/themes
[Android Themes] :
I did, but what then? I cant find my theme.....:S
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Then there's an error with your theme.

iphone_background_3

iphone_slider_left

iphone_slider_right

iphone_preview

All there?
[Android Themes] :
only

sense_preview.png

slider_sense.png

Thumbs.db

Thats the problem?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Does the slider_sense have a 1x1 black pixel on the very top of the image?

If not it won't show.
[Android Themes] :
It doenst have one, but i just downloaded it from the only-theme thread. That means that its broken :S
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Message the person who posted it saying there's an error.
[Android Themes] funkpod:
Does anybody know why the pacman theme would work fine but after reinstalling it, it forced closes?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Reinstalled the ..theme? How do you do that?

- Remove WidgetLocker and re-download from the Market.

- Hopefully that solves your issue.
[Android Themes] funkpod:
I mean I reapplied it.I had pac man as my lock, tried another theme, but they all kept force closing. Then I tried pac man again but that force closed... I will try reinstalling it.
[Android Themes] rfranken:
doesn't seem very stable when making changes.

added a theme and it wouldn't take. it would show up on the list and i could select it but it couldn't be added to the lock screen...so i rebooted and lost all my customization on the lock screen (3 sliders and 2 widgets). they were there but they were all invisible. had to drag and delete everything and re-add it.

rebooting worked for getting to use the new customized lock....but i had to set everything up from scratch again.
[Android Themes] GatorsUF:
I know the whole theming engine in WL is new so it will get better with time.

Any chance we see animated lock sliders? i.e. iPhone slider has highlights that scroll down the word "unlock"...
[Android Themes] Artholic:
Yeah it takes time to get used to.

Not whit this version. Would be sweet to have animate sliders :)
[Android Themes] transfan:
Help, I downloaded an all-invisible theme. when I put it on wl2.0 it works and everything is invisible until I reboot. Then the left slider is still invisible but the right slider appears to be the stock iphone arrow.

This happens repeatedly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, tried to make it myself, etc. no luck

Any thoughts?
[Android Themes] ledname:
Themes Not Working?!

I purchased Widget Locker today. I have an Evo rooted running WarmTwoPointTow ROM. I downloaded many themes from the theme thread.

Under Add->Custom Slider, I see all the themes in the dropdown list. If I select one and click save, sometimes I see one of the sliders from the theme but it looks nothing like the theme in the thread and the wallpaper is never there.

I searched this thread but didn't find an answer...can someone provide a more detailed instruction as to how to apply the entire theme to the lockscreen and overwrite whatever is there?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
The theme is the slider. Wallpapers and widgets aren't included unless the poster of the theme included it in the post. But the actual theme is only the slider.
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
I gotta ask this question - why did the developer choose to use the term 'theme' when it's really a slider of some sort? Theme implies the whole look and feel of the screen, and when many new people ask the same questions over and over, it's got to give you an indication that the use of the term is causing confusion. You see a lovely lock screen that you really like and there's a wltheme.zip there to download - but what's this? It's only the slider?? Just wondering and pointing out where confusion may lie.
[Android Themes] ledname:
Yeah...that is exactly what sold me on the app...I am not interested in putting my own theme of multiple sliders together, I just liked the ones I saw posted.
[Android Themes] hammer_of_thor:
Hello, I have a small problem.

WidgetLocker is v1.2.4

I do not have com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker folder in data, so I created one, as well as themes folder inside.

Copied the theme inside and in WidgetLocker i cannot load it. There are usual themes (sense, iphone, standard android, widgetlocker and no slider)

Can you help?
[Android Themes] Bizdady:
I believe that's an old version, you need up update to widget locker 2.0 for the custom themes to work.

Sent from my Evo 4G CM7 nightly machine!
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Multiple sliders?

You only add widgets and choose a wallpaper. Pretty much the exact same thing you do on your homescreen. You download the themes you want. Install them and choose one of them. When you're tired of it; Change it out with another theme.

How hard is that? .. Seriously .. How hard is that?
[Android Themes] ledname:
I wanted the full themes shown in the themes thread. I don't have the time/patience to find the wallpapers and add each of the sliders and widgets. My fault...should have read the forums before purchasing...though it was really not clearly explained until after my post.
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
I don't think anyone can bundle things the way you want them. I found my own lockscreen wallpaper, chose a slider based on the 'theme only' thread, and made my own clock widget (Make your own clock), and that Txtmissed or whatever it is - had to configure that, too. It takes a bit of time, but it's worth it once it's set, you don't have to do it again.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
That's the way to go. You have to customize it the same way you customize your homescreen.

I don't think Android could even load the widgets. Not even if you have them installed: I'm pretty sure it breaks some policies.

But what I wanted to say was: Yeah. Configure your widgets once and then just switch out the slider. You can always move the widgets around. Makes it look brand new.
[Android Themes] LuffyPSP:
why my widgets are always gone after rebooting? using cm7 nightlies and minimalist text as the widgets.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
It's a CM7 related problem from what I've read.
[Android Themes] LuffyPSP:
speaking of that. i rebooted cuz wanted to downgrade my CWM version and this time its didnt disappear. first time happening after losing my widgets 5 times in a row.
[Android Themes] xreflection:
So I deleted the com.... folder for widgetlocker from the db folder or whatever it was called. It seemed to fix my issue with the lock screen not saving my widgets. Works like a charm now. I love it!

[Android Themes] hotleadsingerguy:
Anyone notice something:

I use a clock widget and battery widget on my lockscreen. I also use Beautiful Widgets on my LauncherPro+ (I use the 4x2 clock and weather). It doesn't seem to update. Since I installed WL it doesn't seem to update more than once a day (meaning the time doesn't update, nor the weather). I even tried a 4x2 with battery and it didn't update that either (just showed 100%). Is there some problem with using Beautiful Widgets *and* another Clock/Battery widget? Or is it a problem with WL being the default Home and LauncherPro not?

I'm wondering if it started when I installed the Circle Battery Widget, but I don't know for sure. I'd uninstall it to check but I love that thing =P

Edit: BTW sometimes it works perfectly...like now. But I woke up and it said it was 8:43am on March 7th (yesterday morning probably when I unplugged my phone).
[Android Themes] duhhh:
invisible sense theme?

how can I make invisible sense theme without clock and data :confused:

I want to unlock it by sliding down
[Android Themes] DannyBiker:
And I'd like to unlock it by sliding up ! Please, Widgetlocker dev, bring that unlock slider (sliding the all lockscreen to unveil the homescreen) to your app and it will be complete !

That, and unlock transitions (from the lockscreen to the homescreen, like fade-to-black, crossfade)...

I hope your read this thread...:D
[Android Themes] ozeta:
hi all :) i'm using widget locker since 3 days and i have this problem:

(i use an htc desire with leedroid)

when i start a phone call and i put the device on my ear, the screen turns black (of course).

but when i finish a call, and i need to press the "end call" button, i see that the lockscreen is turned on, so i have to unlock the screen and, then, stop the call.

is it possible to avid this behaviour? thanks!
[Android Themes] shokwaav:
Yup got that problem too. Ended up using clocked on homescreen which seems to force minimalistic text to update on WL
[Android Themes] toosurreal01:
I second both of these...

Short-term an invisible sense slider (no clock/data) would be nice. Anybody have any idea how to make that?

Long-term the ability to slide the entire screen up/down to "reveal" the home screen would be amazing!
[Android Themes] jadellah177:
how to install it??

do i have to get WidgetLocker from the MARKET?
[Android Themes] s1l3nt:
im currently using your theme can you make an app drawer icon with the arrow slider you used for this please?
[Android Themes] polstein:
You can sorta fake it to make this happen. I'm in the same boat, I like the Sense slider action (sliding down with my thumb) over the left-to-right sliders.

BTW, I'd love it it one could make a widget BE the item you scroll down on.

Anyway, to make this trick happen:

- select no slider at all (remove any slider you have on there)

- set safe mode unlocks > say 5 seconds

- install SwipePad (free)

- set entire bottom edge of screen to be launch point

To unlock screen, slide from the bottom edge up & select one of 12 apps/shortcuts. I had a kind developer make an app to do nothing but go home and another to do last take. (See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973467) When I unlock, I can Swipe to home, or swipe to last task which is almost always same as unlock.

Unfortunatly, SwipePad doesn't do top of screen (conflicts with Notification). You can select sides & corners.

You can also use Clutch Pad for a similar effect (Clutch is $2 I think).

Not perfect, but a working solution :)
[Android Themes] duhhh:

[Android Themes] funkpod:

You are supposed to put the wltheme files in the data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/themes folder
[Android Themes] jordanzink:
alright but I can't even see my download. like it doesn't even show up in my dl files.

and I can't even find that file that you said in root explorer.

[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I appreciate you guys and gals trying to help me keep the Theme Collection free of comments. As of right now comments are allowed but not encouraged. The flame wars don't help at all. I've let a mod know there's a lot of unwanted comments in the thread right now - but I don't think they'll all be removed. The ones that are inappropriate will be removed, the ones asking for wallpapers and widgets probably won't. I know that's sad (LOL) but we've got to live with it. I'm gonna update the index when a mod has passed through and deleted some posts. Sick of having to re-do the index, lol.

Doesn't matter if your height is off. If you check the first post the width doesn't matter but the height has got to be 152.

Attached should work. Let me know if it doesn't.

How about putting the bin at the TOP of the screen instead of the bottom where most people will place their slider, causing many accidental deletes of the slider ?

Not a bad idea.

I had to redownload widgetlocker. When I went to find the iphone file i need to replace its not there. has widgetlocker been changed recently? Thanks
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Email between me and Kevin. Good times ahead! :D

Themes:

The image heights don't allow sliders to appear on the very bottom of screen. This goes especially for the iphone themes. The slider and background height don't look the same height no matter what I try in Photoshop. There are other users that are reporting this; Is it a user issue or something that should be addressed?

It's my fault for poor examples and documentation, but can be handled by themers. I should've made the default iPhone background 152px tall so themers would know to keep that, but didn't. Themes assume HDPI, so one standard slider row is 150px tall. Three Patch images have the 1 pixel border on all sides, so a 152px tall background will perfectly fill out one standard row. WidgetLocker will scale/stretch the image if the row size is different. I've attached an ugly iPhone theme to demonstrate.

Same idea for the sense slider, it defaults to two rows, so 300px background, no need for the 2 extra pixels since it's not a three patch.

Is there a possibility to disable the Sense clock?

I'll add this soon. Not 2.0.1, but probably 2.0.2.

Wishes:

More ways to unlock the screen! It'd be great if we could make a slider like the one attached. That'd be freaking awesome to be honest with you. That's something people have even have been sending me PMs about!

I think the attached could be done, remove the Anchor then resize an iPhone slider to be vertical. But the theme would like kind of funny horizontally since WL rotates the other direction.

I'm definitely planning on some more unlock methods. HoneyComb for sure, possibly something like MIUI, and maybe the Samsung puzzle unlock as well as the Samsung sweep glass (Which is kind of similar to that WP7 one, except for the transparent part.

Android 2.1 and 2.3, but not 2.2, could handle transparent WidgetLocker pretty easily, 2.2 has some bug where lock screen interactions are difficult for a transparent activity. I can work around it, but it's a pain since most of my users are on 2.2. But it's on my radar.

Sliders not showing up

Ok, hope someone can tell me where I'm going wrong here.

Just got WL and playing around trying to create my own sliders. But, when I come to select them in custom sliders, they don't appear on the list.

I have the black pixel on the background, place them in a zip (7zip), call this (themename).wltheme.zip and place that in the com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/themes folder. If I place a zip file from the themes thread in there, shows up no problem, just not my own.

I know I'm probably missing something obvious here, but can someone tell me just where I'm being a dope please? :confused:

[Android Themes] funkpod:
Hey, I had this problem too, at first. Make sure you create a folder with your files, Then zip the folder. If it's the same mistake that I did, I zippe:pd them without putting them in a folder first. Hope this helps.
