even though the clock is gone, it's real-estate is still in use by the slider.

p.s. loving the clockless slider, everything looks so cleeean :)
[Android Themes] sabret00the:
I get that, but if i've designed the slider to be at the bottom of the image. and i'm trying to put the slider on-top of another widget, I should be allowed. After all, that's what I had in mind when I designed the slider

WL losing settings on reboot

WL loses its settings on reboot. I've tested it 4x before posting this. I'm running WL version 2.1.0 (in compatibility mode on MIUI 1.5.13 Rey's Custom Rom V15.1)

So, when I reboot all the widgets disappear and only the slider remains. Is this a bug? Is there a fix/work-around? These are the widgets that disappear:

Desktio VisualizeR

Minimal Text

SMS Unread Count

One More Clock

There's also no way of saving a configuration in WL - or have I missed something here? This would have saved plenty time spent reconfiguring each time..

Great app btw :)

Someone know when paypal buyers gonna get the update? Or is it just me that i waiting :confused:
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Posted in the wrong thread.
[Android Themes] th3taman:
This happens sometimes on CM7 as confirmed by many. MIUI is based on AOSP so it's possible that it could be an AOSP error? I believe dev is aware but has no fix at this point.

I was really hoping the new version would fix the screen resolution issues. All the themes made for hdpi do not seem to work on mdpi. They look tiny. Plus I was hoping to overlap Widgets and locks.

[Android Themes] Lady Droid:
Hi! I'm new to the site and relatively new to using Widgetlocker, and was hoping to get some help with issues I've been experiencing with it. I have an unrooted Motorola Droid (yep, still rockin the original lol) and even though WL's running, it seems like the custom slider I set up with it randomly shows up while the stock unlock slider shows up the rest of the time. This happens whether I let the screen time out or lock it by pressing the power button (I don't have Easy Wake mode enabled). I can't figure out why this is happening. Is it just an issue with this particular phone or Motorola phones in general or something else? If anyone has any ideas please let me know. :)
[Android Themes] Madala_ZA:
Thanks for this update, and yip I'm aware. Sucks a bit because WL is a great app imo.. but can't use it with MIUI at this stage.

It's prob not going to ever get sorted. Sad, but it is what it is I suppose.. :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] Madala_ZA:
Well, you should have just picked it up at the Market. Keep it simple, auto-install style.

You need to unzip the file to get the apk. The get the apk onto your SD card, check how your ROM handles this or get a wifi app from the Market.

Then navigate to the zip with your file manager and click it. Done. Please ensure the app is legitimate, it's important to support the Android dev's because they do an awesome job and if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have this awesome community! :cool:
[Android Themes] Ridder10:
Ok this is what I do. I already have the app from the market..

I downloaded couple .wltheme.zip files. But I cannot unzip it? If i do, i get a lot of small pictures.. And if i put the zip on my sd card, i can open it, but not install it..

What am i doing wrong :confused:
[Android Themes] Madala_ZA:
Ok, just put the zip files in this folder on your SD card and then the themes will be available in WL: /sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/themes/
[Android Themes] Ridder10:
That did it! Thanks a lot :D
[Android Themes] Madala_ZA:
No problem, not sure what ROM you running. So, just be aware that if you're running CM7 or MIUI then you're likely to lose your settings on each reboot. If you're using any other ROM then you should be cool :cool:
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
It's Theme Manager that causes the issues, not CM7:) I use neither of those and still have the problem. Gets on my nerves haha
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
The reason you can't overlap is because it's too easy to get locked out of your phone and would create a lot of issues.
[Android Themes] chuckdz3:
I know there is a way but I am having trouble figuring out how to have notifications when I have a missed phone call or missed text? What is the easiet way to see (1) next to messages for missed text or call. Either through a custom slider or widget placed on the homescreen. (I use handcent) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Android Themes] Madala_ZA:
Just use the SMS Unread Count widget, it's pretty good and handles phone, SMS and Gmail (it also allows you to change the icon): https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kanokgems.smswidget :)

Edit: Desktop Visualizer will allow you to choose your own icon and which app it should launch, it's really good: https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr&feature=search_result
[Android Themes] sabret00the:
Having done some more research, I've come to the realisation that I simply can't put the slider in the place I want. No matter what I do. It must have something to do with wanting to preserve sanity if I enable the landscape lockscreen option.
[Android Themes] Patrick-Mav:
Almost all widgets disappear after restart / boot

Hi there,

love the widgetlocker. Unfortunately, my widgets don't survive a restart. Only the two built in widgetlocker widgets and the slider remain.

I searched this thread, but this seems to be a common problem without a clear solution. I have a Desire S, running stock 2.3.3. Where do I start to troubleshoot this?

Thanks and best rgds

Patrick

:cool:
[Android Themes] Madala_ZA:
It's a known problem, but on MIUI on CM ROMS.. didn't know it was doing it on stock ROMs. Maybe you should inform Kevin on the WL website contact section.. Kevin says it is MIUI and CM-based.. see my post from yesterday earlier in this thread, it has Kevin's explanation quoted.
[Android Themes] Little Dragon:
dunno if this has been mentioned yet, but is it possible to add support for live wallpapers? or can you do this now (i don't see any options for it...)

thanks
[Android Themes] guuff:
anyone having the same problem as me? I've been having a really hard time accessing my themes from the menu....whenever I click on themes it force closes every time. I haven't been able to change or add themes in about a week, even after the update. It's quite annoying.
[Android Themes] Goran_M:
Is there any way to make bigger shorcuts and app icons in WL? I think that standard size is 48x48, but I would love to have them in 128x128 or 256x256 with my custom icons. The slider and widget size are editable with long presure, but this doesn't work with app i shorcut icons.

Sorry if this was already talken about.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?

When you do the reinstall, perhaps you should reboot your phone.

You can also try clearing your cache and dalvik cache.

If none of these suggestions work, come back for more troubleshooting. It does sound like something is corrupted.

Of course, I'm no expert but I think in cases of app icons, WL adheres to the system standard size of icons. You can try using something like Desktop Visualizer to put your larger icons on your lock screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iupoWif7HRU
[Android Themes] guuff:
Yup, tried all of that and still force closes when trying to access my theme menu.
[Android Themes] KingDavid36:
You need to give WL SuperUser Rights!
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
You can try deleting everything in your themes folder: /sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/themes then uninstall and reinstall the widget. Before doing this though, make a note of any new themes you've installed. When you reinstall the widget, the stock widgets will be installed as well. Only reinstall the nonstock themes when you are sure everything is working fine when trying to apply the stock themes.

Many times when there's force closes like that in an app, something is corrupted. You just want to try and narrow down what is causing the issue.

Edit:

That could be what's causing the issue as well. :)
[Android Themes] guuff:
Tried all that, worked for a little bit then started up again. Maybe I have too many themes and its causing it to crash? plus I am on an unrooted HTC T-Bolt.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
If you're unrooted, how were you able to do any of the stuff I suggested such as clearing the caches? I was talking about clearing the caches in Recovery not the widget's cache found in the systems settings of your phone.

I think this widget works best on rooted phones.
[Android Themes] guuff:
Oooh I thought you just meant the regular system cache. Why do you think it's best for rooted phones? I'm not so savvy yet when it comes to this lol

The widget bug with Theme Chooser. Is there a way to fix it ?

Hi all,

I'm currently using widgetlocker for a couple of months and I'm very happy to use it. :D

But I have an annoying issue concerning widgets. They always disappear after a reboot. I know this is due to the theme chooser included in CM7.

But is there a way to fix this problem ? I'm tired to add my widgets all the time.

WidgetLocker 2.1 problem

Unfortunately new update has a bug. I find it very annoying.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S - JVH 2.3.3

WL version: 2.1

Problem: Every time the screen goes off market is popping in background. When i turn the screen on i can see market app running in the background for no reason...

I've tried messing with settings, but it's no help.

Tested and it's 100% new WL issue.

If someone could help, or notify the dev about it I'll be grateful. For now i went back to 2.0.2 and everything is ok.
[Android Themes] laba82:
Don't have any bugs myself, but tried this one: http://teslacoilsw.com/contact for notifying the dev?
[Android Themes] kanguros:
I have the same problem on Darky 10.1 rom. The fix is simple. If you have rooted phone, you need to go to WidgetLocker Preferences->Advanced->Root Helper and checked the Root Helper checkbox. Add superuser permission and that's it. Restart phone and the widgets will be still visible.

I've used this contact to report bugs. Kevin very helpful, replied straight away and in great detail.
[Android Themes] Step666:
I was wondering, would this be possible?

It would be sort of a Sense-like slider, except you can also slide it in the opposite direction to reveal embedded switches in the lockscreen itself.

Attached is a pretty rough knock-up but I hope it demonstrates what I mean...

(The boxes to the left are counters/indicators in case anyone's wondering)
[Android Themes] kanguros:
Do you have WidgetLocker placed on the list in SuperUser application on your system?
[Android Themes] jay113:
Yes it is. In the allowed application list
[Android Themes] Cholo981:
Is there any kind of documentation to make a custom MIUI slider?

I'm trying to theme this:

It would be pretty easy to do it with a sense slider layout but I would like to have the 3 slider options (and the clock).
[Android Themes] kanguros:
Maybe try to remove it and again uncheck the Root Helper and check it again.
[Android Themes] jay113:
It doesn't work at all. I've done these steps :

- There is one widget in my screen locker (default android widget clock)

- Remove the application from super user applications.

- Uncheck Root Helper

- Recheck Root Helper

- WidgetLocker acquires super user privileges (I've checked remember my settings)

- Reboot the phone

- A message tells me that WidgetLocker acquires super user privileges

- My screen locker has lost my default android widget clock
[Android Themes] Montechristo1979:
Hi. I found a tiny bug/issue when using WidgetLocker and the built-in HomeHelper-Component. I have an Sony Ericsson Xperia Play-Smartphone with a GamingPad. When i use the GamePad (its a "slide out keyboard", or "retractable keyboard") an app called "Xperia Play" is starting up automatically. But when HomeHelper is activated, the app wont start automatically. When HomeHelper is deactivated, everything works like it should.
[Android Themes] kanguros:
The last hint.

- Uncheck Root Helper

- Please turn off the WidgetLocker

- Remove it from the super user list.

- go to Root Explorer and delete the whole WigdetLocker preferences directory:

( on my SGS : /dbdata/databases/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker )

- Recheck Root Helper and give persmission

- add widget on the lock screen

- unlock the screen, lock again, turn screen on, the added widget should be there.

- restart phone and see the result

[Android Themes] dnquark:
I love WL, functionality, but I have one problem: it doesn't reliably lock my phone. I have a few widgets and app shortcuts that can be activated from the lock screen. Sometimes when the phone is in my pants pocket, they get accidentally activated, meaning they can take me to gmail, or to a camera app, or to my home screen, etc. Is there a solution that would allow me to quickly toggle the one-touch access to stuff, so that I have it when my phone is just lying around, but can be turned off when the phone is the pocket to guard against butt-dialing and whatnot? An ideal interface would be something like a "double-ended" slider, where sliding it from right to left would toggle between the "hard lock" (i.e. no buttons/widgets active) and "soft lock", and sliding it from left to right would unlock the phone as usual. A separate slider would also work.

Hey guys

i got a few questions about widgetlocker since i saw yesterday the new locker of iOS 5. (which you can see here: http://www.engadget.com/photos/ios-5-notification-center/#4194887)

First of all, i dont have widgetlocker yet, because its lacking exactly what you can see on the picture above. i saw many many widgetlocker pictures of you in the other thread, which basically look great. But i cant really see the use of the amount of missed calles/mails/texts. I got my notification LED which provides enough information about unread messages or missed calls. Because if i only know i have some unread messages/calls but not from whom, i still gotta unlock the phone (i dont instantly call back any douche whose call i just missed :D) Like i said, the notification LED provides that information too.

Then i saw the a Lockscreen of the jailbreaked iPhone.

What can i say - i love it! Its even better than the iOS5 Lockscreen in my opinion.

Ok i think you get the point now. Long story short:

-) Is it possible to add Widgetlocker those coloums which show who called and who left a message and who wrote those emails? How about calender (i think i saw this one before) and facebook?

-) is it possible to make a certain field of that lockscreen scrollable while the rest remains static?

-) The cherry on top: Is it or will it be possible not only to display who messaged/called me but also to use those writings on the lockscreen to open the specific Apps (by swiping, like in the picture of the new iOS5) to call back or reply to the messages?

I hope i dont look like some apple fanboi (got a Desire S myself ;) ), its just that i saw it and i was instantly in love because i find it so extremely useful in contrary to those simple writings of how many calls i missed or messages i have to read.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm having problems with the creation of a sense slider. I can't figure out how to make it fit to the width of the screen. The screen is 480px, and even if I make a 500px one, it doesn't fit properly to the width (it's smaller than it). This slider will be the bottom part of a picture I use as the background. Is there a way to create a slider with real width of 480px ?
[Android Themes] KingDavid36:
First you need to properly set your Grid. Go to your WL Lock Screen and Tap Menu/Settings/Look&Feel/Layout. Set your Grid to 8x4 or keep fooling around with your Grid size until it fits. That should do the trick. Good Luck!
[Android Themes] gadzio:
Cheers, but I've already played with the Grid setting, doesn't help. The one where the size fits the best is 12*12, but it's still not the entire width.

Forget to Put Slider..

Hiii guys, probably a noob question.. I have search the thread and could not find the answer..

I forgot to put the slider when modifying the screenlock.. I get disturbed and do something else.. Then the phone got locked and no slider on the screenlock.. How can I open the phone??

I try to reboot, same thing, now the phone got locked since my number got PIN, and I can not received calls..

Can someone help me pls..
[Android Themes] RTFW:
On my Droid 2, I just hit the menu button on my phone and it brings up the Widgetlocker menu and I can pick Add and add a new slider to unlock it.
[Android Themes] diogen46:
Thx for ur answer.. I didn't have the chance to do ur suggestion, because at that I already reboot the phone... However, after many times phone off, suddenly it goes back to original lockscreen (before widgetlocker mod), then quickly I insert the password and back to normal...

Thx anyway..
[Android Themes] thebeardedchild:
This seems like a potentially common issue, but this is a very large thread to search through...I just installed WL about this time last night, and I've been enjoying it all day. I hadn't used my phone in a couple hours (didn't touch at all) and I just picked it up a few minutes ago and when I woke the screen the stock lockscreen appeared...I went to WL settings and it was enabled, nothing changed, etc. But every time I woke my phone it was stock. I also noticed in my Spart Parts app that my run time was like 4 times as large as screen on (normally it's about equal), so I got the idea that perhaps WL went rogue and wasn't working properly/keeping my screen awake or something weird...

Anyone know what happened? I did a reboot and it SEEMS to be working normally now... Also, if it helps, I have SetCPU set to about 500 max during the off peak hours of 12 to something in the morning. Could that potentially cause WL to screw up?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
In WidgetLocker, go into Settings > Advanced > Disable Stock Lock Screen
[Android Themes] thebeardedchild:
So that should fix my problems then? I'm just confused as to what happened..

[Android Themes] vanessaem:
You won't know until you've tried it.
[Android Themes] deejaylobo:
I love the customization that this app offers although I'm concerned that there are no security features.

The auto slide unlock feature for when you have android's PIN pad setup is annoying, it only unlocks for when I go to the launcher. It's hit and miss for other apps on my widget locker, plus the notification bar gets disabled.

What I want to do is be able to access the notification bar from my lockscreen but also have some security like the PIN pad before I get taken to the app. I've also tried using the Application Protection app to protect individual apps; this works for individual apps on my widget locker but, I can't lock the launcher(system apps) so, that's not so good because hitting "home" from the PIN pad will just take me to the homescreen bypassing the lock. What would be ideal is an app protector that protected apps like the launcher.

I'm curious as to what sort of security "fixes" other people using Widget Locker are employing. Any tips would be much appreciated.

EDIT: Well, seems using Application Protection to lock WidgetLocker itself provides some sort of security. What happens now is, when I turn on the screen I'm greeted with a blank screen which when I touch shows the Application Protection Pattern/PIN lock. On unlocking this, the WL screen appears. Not the greatest but, works for now. Maybe this will help someone else.
[Android Themes] bluxart:
I was working on a slider before, but eventually gave up on trying to figure out what was wrong. I started a new one tonight and I'm still unsure why my slider isn't showing up in the menu. I've restarted Widgetlocker and refreshed themes, but it still isn't there.

It's a sense slider with two PNGs- sense_preview.png and sense_slider.png. I didn't see anything about creating a Sense slider, so I just went with a 300 height image without a black 1x1 pixel. Any idea as to why it isn't showing up? My zip can be downloaded here: http://cl.ly/3Z010e1t0C2I2T0H012k
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Try reducing the sense_preview.png size to 72x72 and your file naming should be something as follows: locksense.wltheme > locksense > sense_preview.png and sense_slider.png. It looks like you have too many folders. Then see if you see it now.
[Android Themes] bluxart:
Okay, thanks! I already tried it with the 72x72 preview image and that didn't work, but I'll change the names and give it a shot.

Edit: It shows up now, but the slider doesn't load. I get the preview, but the slider is just the default Sense slider. My slider image was named to sense_slider and it is 420x300, is that too wide?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
That should be fine. Restart your phone to see if that helps.

Edit: Yeah, I just tried your lock with the changes I suggested and it shows up on my phone. Again, you may on to restart your phone so that the changes take effect.
